1 | !!''Cranford'': |
2 | * There was an incident when Mrs Forrester's tom-cat drank butter-milk with a super expensive lace. The aftermath might have gone too far when they tried to retrieve it, but the moment when they realized what had happened was priceless: "He's choking!" |
3 | * The cow wearing flannel pyjamas. ItMakesSenseInContext, and it's hilarious. And for that matter, "Bessie dearest!" |
4 | * Dr. Harrison mistakes Augusta Tomkinson for Caroline's mother. Offended, Augusta corrects him -- she's her ''sister''! |
5 | * Martha is shocked to see Miss Matty wearing a thin shawl, "at your age". |
6 | --> '''Miss Matty:''' At my age? ''At my age''? How old do you think I am, that you speak about my age? |
7 | --> '''Martha:''' [[DiggingYourselfDeeper Well, some people do look older than they are.]] |
8 | --> ''[Miss Matty gives her an offended look]'' |
9 | * Caroline and Miss Pole [[StealthInsult trade veiled insults]]. |
10 | --> '''Caroline:''' I hear your new bonnet will refresh you altogether. |
11 | --> '''Miss Pole:''' ''[about a pattern Caroline was admiring]'' That would be perfect for Sophy Hutton. She has the youthful figure for it, and a waist like a wand. |
12 | * Mrs. Forrester is not happy to see fashions from Paris in Mr. Johnson's store. |
13 | --> '''Mrs. Forrester:''' Something has to be said! I am a woman of mild opinions, but I am sure we do not wish to be dressed as revolutionaries. |

15 | !!''Return to Cranford'': |
16 | * Miss Pole buys a cage, and after displaying it for all to see, she's told that it's actually an underskirt. Her reaction is hilarious. "BERTHA!" |
