Animated

Perhaps it’s my tendency to overanalyze, but I wonder if, in this scene, Ann Walker was thinking to herself…”’Animated’, ok hmm, what does that mean? Silly, foolish, child-like, excited, cartoonish, or god forbid, DeSpeRaTe??? 😧 Was my outfit too much, were my puffy sleeves too puffy or was my bonnet askew? Did I trip, fall, hit my head, black out & not remember moaning your name with suppressed lesbian desire as I drifted off??? 😳🤭 Probably not because how can you be ‘animated’ while you are unconscious? 🤦‍♀️ But, oh no…did I have toilet paper on my shoe or something in my teeth??? Please tell me I didn’t have mutton in my teeth! Oh Lord, I’d never recover!” I could go on, but I think I’ve taken this far enough. Good news is, if this was the case, Anne Lister’s smile and bright eyes as she speaks would no doubt make all AW’s worries fade away.
