Brideshead Revisited

My wife likes costume dramas. Our daughter is with her aunt for spring break. Wife and I were going to see a movie but found we only had $25 cash between us. So we instead we bought ice cream and rented movies.
Wife picked out Cadillac Records, which was good. And Brideshead revisited which was not what she expected.
I've tried to read the book a couple times but the, shall we say, ponderous language, always puts me off. I just couldn't wade through the ponderous language.
Oh, dear the movies over. I have to go to work.
Perhaps more on this subject later...
