...the first glance to see how many pages there are, the second to see how it ends, the breathless first reading, the slow lingering over each phrase and each word, the taking possession, the absorbing of them one by one, and finally the choosing of the one that will be carried in one's thoughts all day... -- Edith Wharton

Only connect: Edith Wharton and Downton Abbey




I wasn't able to embed from YouTube correctly, but I wanted to share a great video of Julian Fellowes visiting The Mount and talking about Edith Wharton.

I love January. :)

Thanks for the line, I loved that library with the floor to ceiling windows. What an elegant house and grounds.
