Should Dudley and John Moray divorce?

Yes, absolutely

No, their love is forever

No, they're perfect for each other (derogatory)

They should divorce remarry and divorce again that's how divorced they should be

I don't know these characters but they look cute together

I don't know these characters but they should divorce

I have zero opinion on their relationship status

Reason:

Moray is a slag and Dudley should ditch him

One Dress a Day Challenge

June: Weddings

The Paradise (s1e8) / Emun Elliott as John Moray

This show takes place sometime in the 1870s. What Moray wears is recognizable even today as morning dress, but was a newish style at the time. Apparently, those who could afford to own riding horses used to exercise their horses in the morning, and the morning coat was developed to look elegant on horseback; the bottom half is cut so as to sweep back smoothly and not leave any fabric hanging over the rider's knees.

With his traditional morning coat, striped trousers, and top hat, Moray wears an ivory brocade waistcoat with gold chain, dove-grey gloves, and a very interesting olive-and-turquoise ascot fastened with a jeweled pin. For boutonniere, he has a spray of ... crocus, I think? (ETA: Or possibly tuberoses--see comments.)

Books in my collection:

Chateau de la Malmaison

Percier, C. Fontaine, P.F.L.

Charles Foulard (1908)

This is a publication, a portfolio really, that was put together of the chateau. It consists of several writings about the chateau (in French) and then a series of plates of different rooms, grounds, and items from the chateau. I pulled out a few to share.

1. Portfolio cover.

2. Etching of Napoleon's study

3. Napoleon's outdoor office and park

4. The stables

5. Temple of Love (once part of the park, now on private property)

6. Stone by gate indicates the last spot Napoleon stood before leaving Malmaison for the last time.

7. Chapel. This wasn't here when Napoleon and Josephine owned the home. It's no longer standing.

8. Front entry

9. Napoleon's study

10. Detail of Napoleon's desk.
