Gladys Russell is a drip anyway
and the man she wants to marry is a sop
and the Duke she's supposed to marry is a zero
other than that it's a good storyline 😂

A lot of TV shows are popping up about the #GildedAge, but I also found that interestingly enough there were Irish women marrying Chinese men during this era. I'm super happy there is Black rep, but I wonder at other races besides white and Black. Indigenous? Asian and so on.
