Now they’re all crashing into every other, and i am a fan. Loose meteorites, the lot of snort !! Potentially the most crashes we secure, the most collateral trouble, which on this case will doubtless be one thing Cherish, “Mrs. Astor has uninvited with from nextly bazaar in serve injured polo ponies.” *Afraid Gasps*

Gladys Has Scoot off, and originally, IT SEEMS LIKE SHE HAS ESCAPED Consuelo Vanderbilt’s DESTINES AND ELOPED WITH THE UNINSPIRING-BUT-SEEMINGLY-OKAY Billy. The servants are in a tizzy. Larry is movement with Bertha for Utilizing gladys to this. Nevertheless then we secure out that gladys is honest staying at billy’s dwelling (in a Legit Diagram, you pervs). Gladys! You Can’t Evade the Wheels of Destiny, Aka Bertha’s Plass, Except You Seize Vast and Irrevocable Swings!

Seeing that nucleus is implacably region in opposition to the Mariage, Mrs. Carlton Mentions that Her Vast-Grandfather Signed the Declaration of Independence and Wonders What Bertha’s Ancestors Had been Doing. I don’t know, man, but doubtless it used to be one thing not immediately fascinated about Deleting The Coondemnation of Slaverly From Our Nation’s Founding Listing.

Dorothy is there becuse peggy’s illness formula her parses are coming to imaginative and prescient. Dorothy Tries to Lumber Via the Servants’ Entrance, Nevertheless Arthur Won’t Bear It, and They Enter, Along With the Docor they’ve Introduced, Via the Front. Agnes has snort sit down in the parlor alongside with her whereas the honest appropriate-attempting doctor attvens to Peggy. SO Interesting! Let’s Hope’s No longer Married. So many men on this video display are Married. He Asks for Sizzling Water for Peggy’s Feet. I Prefer Sizzling Water for My Feet! I know the heat index is fancy 112, but the hearta desire what it desires. Peggy Slowly Improves, Thank God. Agnes tells the scotts that time family used to be brought up to be successfully Mannered Toward Everyone, and That’s What She DOES. Arthur Replies that he dosht tell trusty manners are an efficient medication for 250 years of slavery. Indeed! They bond over Being Folks, and we are all grateful for Audra McDonald and Christine Baranski.

Downstair, Lumber away out Armstrong Remains to be Racist. “I’m Totally Asserting What Everyone is Thinking.” “No person is pondering that.” I explore you, 2025 vibes! The Other Servants Are Totally Occupied with Who’s If truth be told in Charge of the Family Now that he has the general money (it’), and Additionally will ada form snort the temperature pledge. Neither a nide not to this pliedge, some temperament pedges allowed for beer and wine. The Observe teetaller Comes From Those Who Advocated for A Full (Fetch it?) Abstention from Alcohol. For my half, the Motion’s insistent on this shift to entire is half of what Sunk it. Nevertheless we have to not right here to hear to my figuring out on the drop of the temperature Motion, howver Staunch they are over and over. The Servants Don’t Are attempting to Signal the Pledge, and when Ada Asks Marian, Marian Says no and, in a moment of Astonishing Boundary Keeping, Says Sincelely, “I’m sorry ought to you sad.”

K, you’ve been attempting forward to it, i’ve been attempting forward to it, gladys han wait for it: george is dwelling! Be he gets there, he real now sees JP Morgan. Movie and TV Broken-down Bill Camp Manages to Be aware JP Morgan So Compelling. I Never Notion I’d Are attempting to Witness More of JP Morgan in My Programs, but right here I’m. George and JP Discuss About George’s Vast Railroad Belief, which JP Calls a Feat to rival the Red Sea. IT’S A HUGE RISK WITH A Doubtlessly Houge Reward, and JP Will Red meat up it, but if George Fails, He’s on His Own. COULD THIS BE Foreshadowing?! I’m Serious about the Vast Railroad Belief. If this were the musical version of The Gilded AgeGeorge Might moreover rob this moment to teach “Never Ample” from The Very most sensible Showman.

Bertha and Gladys Come Dwelling Put up -Gladys Fleeing to Billy’s, and George Kisses Bertha on the Cheek. On the cheek? Make it is doubtless you’ll even include any figuring out what 2025 is dealing with on the Daily? Make the emotional toll? And you give us cheek kiss? Gladys Tells George About Being Sold to Hector, The, ETC., ETC; She desires george to impart her, so she leaves.

Mrs. Astor Sees What’s Going on and Leaves, and Charles Tells Aurora that the Girl he’s with didn’t must come lend a hand, but he made her? Agnes Shuts Charles Down in a Very Gratifying Diagram, but What Woul Be More Gratifying is If Any individual Might moreover Crush All His Holes and Targets.

The ywca match is By some capability the moment the put billy is presupposed to be george if he can marry gladys. Billy Walks up to George, who is talking with two various gentlemen, and real now act fancy a rooster and bows out. This determine for Him, Attributable to Bertha has Already Told Mrs. Carlton at this birthday celebration that if billy doesn’t lend a hand off, he might per chance also not ever secure one other job, and the russells Will Disinherit Gladys.

I will indubitably fancy Larry and Marian, even supposing, this if Larry Had some Some Surpring Chemory with Jack the Clock At some stage in Jack’s Swimsuit Becoming. Larry used to be Eve Keeping a phallic cigarette your total time. I will Judge It ‘Likely That Harry Richardson, Who Play Larry, Is Staunch Very Staunch at Having chemistry with Folks.

We ended with the dinner for Hector the by. Straight away, sooner than it begins, billy Covertly calls on gladys and tells and their fancy is “No Longer Purposeful” and it Over. No longer Chilly, Billy. Nevertheless Additionally, ought to you suck this Extraordinary, it is doubtless for the most easy. Oh no, am i The Bertha Now?
