Ah well there are plenty of fast falls from grace into destitution tales but none where they actually end up alrightish with a nice sheep farmer 😂

Unless you count the ones where they spurn the trappings of a lavish gentrified life and an uptight spouse to be with their true love and the final chapter depicts them living a happy life because they chose a simple honest days toil 😂

OMG they have these novels over here where American women turn Amish and marry into the Amish community...which I think has happened IRL but good lord, why? I can't imagine.

I always laughed at scenes like this:

The Earl: Oh, that’s some hard news…
Lady Mary: What’s that, Papa?
The Earl: Old Biggins has just told me that Jenkins, the tenet who farms the lower 40, has had a child drowned.
Lady Mary: Oh, how dreadful!
The Earl: Yes, it’s is. We’ll have to do something for the poor fam—
Lady Mary: No, I meant my dress! Anna forgot to have it cleaned! What shall I do now?! I have only 17 others to choose from!
