alexandralHappy birthday to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
soniag and earlgrayhot. It has been wonderful to "meet" you on LJ, so many good times ! Thank you very much, ladies!
I have tried to find similar interests for both of you. I am not sure if I am correct but it seems that both of you like tea and BBC adaption of Elizabeth Gaskell's "North and South". In honour of your birthdays, one of my favouritest scenes in "North and Sounth", in which Margaret is pouring tea for Mr. Thornton, in pictures. Oh, Smoldering glances! Oh, hand touching!
I adore the following passage from the book. Mr.Thornton is having tea with Hale's family for the first time and Margaret pouring it:
"It appeared to Mr. Thornton that all these graceful cares were
habitual to the family; and especially of a piece with Margaret.
She stood by the tea-table in a light-coloured muslin gown, which
had a good deal of pink about it. She looked as if she was not
attending to the conversation, but solely busy with the tea-cups,
among which her round ivory hands moved with pretty, noiseless,
daintiness. She had a bracelet on one taper arm, which would fall
down over her round wrist. Mr. Thornton watched the replacing of
this troublesome ornament with far more attention than he
listened to her father. It seemed as if it fascinated him to see
her push it up impatiently, until it tightened her soft flesh;
and then to mark the loosening--the fall. He could almost have
exclaimed--'There it goes, again!'"

Just to add to this I am sending you some virtual chocolates (the best kind, no calories!)
Mr. Thornton - how can we not to swoon. I bet if we can collect all swoons all over the world for Mr.Thornton's sake we could produce some energy!
