    St. Trinian's Girls with the "uh" and the "uh."

    Harry takes Sandy to a St. Trinian's themed dance, where the women are expected to dress like St. Trinian's Girls with the "uh" and the "uh" (that's what everyone keeps saying). Just the "uh" by itself would have been bad enough. But to have the "uh" as well, that's as intolerable as you-know-what.

    Jean goes out to dinner with an old boyfriend who she had dated right after the death of her first husband. He had been out of the country for most of the intervening years working for the Foreign Service. He has also married. He doesn't realize quite how many years it has been since he and Jean last spoke. My impression before this episode was that Judith was grown when her father died. Here, we find out she was a little girl. The old flame only knew her as a little girl, and thinks she still is a little girl until Jean corrects him.

      Jean: We did have an affair.

      Lionel: What, tonight?

      Jean: No, then!

      Lionel: Well, I rather supposed you did.

      Jean: Oh.

      Lionel: Well, you were a widow, you were young. I wouldn't have expected you to live like a nun.

      Jean: Well, it wasn't a great love or anything.

      Lionel: They don't need to be.

      Jean: They?

      Lionel: Well, you were on your own for a long while.

      Jean: Yes. So were you.

      Lionel: Yes! I think I will have that early night.

      Jean: Lionel?

      Lionel: Good night.

      Jean: Lionel.
