Wild Horses

Anne Lister must have REALLY adored the Lake District because wild horses are famously persuasive. I once heard of a wild horse that convinced a cowboy to ride with a fedora rather than a cowboy hat. He looked like such a fool! But he did have a gangster/prohibitionesque swagger you’d not expect from a man in the wild wild west, and uniqueness should never be discouraged.

Anyway. I wasn’t sure how I felt about this scene at first, with AL raising her eyebrows at the camera after her flirtations with another lassie right in front of AW…but it did give us a clear picture of her charisma and propensity for naughtiness. Plus, technically, she raised her eyebrows at me, and I welcome a good eyebrow raise - any day of the week, but only after 3pm on weekdays, 6pm on weekends, and anytime on all major holidays.
