When AL lost her dear aunt. #BringBackGentlemanJack #AnneLister #AnnWalker @BBC @LookoutPointTV @netflix.com @netflixuk.bsky.social

AW sets her night-cap on fire, singing her pretty flaxen hair. All survived. #BringBackGentlemanJack #AnneLister #AnnWalker @BBC @LookoutPointTV @netflix.com @netflixuk.bsky.social

AW laid the first stone for AL's casino. In 1867, AW's niece Ann Walker Sutherland Stansfeld did the same at her church. View Annie's trowel at insearchofannwalker.com/ann-walker-n... #BringBackGentlemanJack #AnneLister #AnnWalker @BBC @LookoutPointTV @netflix.com @netflixuk.bsky.social

Another first for AW - going down a pit with AL, Booth and Hinscliffe. She showed no fear as they christened Listerwick pit. #BringBackGentlemanJack #AnneLister #AnnWalker @BBC @LookoutPointTV @netflix.com @netflixuk.bsky.social

AW had an incident with her monsieur - what PTSD is made of. Thankfully AL to the rescue. #BringBackGentlemanJack #AnneLister #AnnWalker @BBC @LookoutPointTV @netflix.com @netflixuk.bsky.social

Allergic Ann, caring Anne. #BringBackGentlemanJack #AnneLister #AnnWalker @BBC @LookoutPointTV @netflix.com @netflixuk.bsky.social

Because I'm living in hell (US) right now, I enjoyed Film Club...a cute little film. Think it's awesome that this young woman created it and SJ supported her and was in it. Nice people....we need more nice now more than ever.

Lovely.

AW doesn't appreciate being styled as AL's niece. AW cries as AL talks to the princess about Shibden. #BringBackGentlemanJack #AnneLister #AnnWalker @BBC @LookoutPointTV @netflix.com @netflixuk.bsky.social

Time to get rid of AW...oh wait, AL NEVER DID. AW said more than once that life w/AL wasn't what she expected. Yet they stayed together till the end. #BringBackGentlemanJack #AnneLister #AnnWalker @BBC @LookoutPointTV @netflix.com @netflixuk.bsky.social

AL will be glad to get rid of Miss Ferrall. She thinks so little of AL's pleasure. #BringBackGentlemanJack #AnneLister #AnnWalker @BBC @LookoutPointTV @netflix.com @netflixuk.bsky.social

Glad to get rid of Mariana, not a great visit. M did not wish to travel, liked her hens and chickens better. #BringBackGentlemanJack #AnneLister #AnnWalker @BBC @LookoutPointTV @netflix.com @netflixuk.bsky.social

Thankful to be rid of Vere. #BringBackGentlemanJack #AnneLister #AnnWalker @BBC @LookoutPointTV @netflix.com @netflixuk.bsky.social

AL thought about taking the sacrament with Mrs B but what can she [AL] do with her. AL glad to get rid of her. #BringBackGentlemanJack #AnneLister #AnnWalker @BBC @LookoutPointTV @netflix.com @netflixuk.bsky.social

Got rid of Tib. #BringBackGentlemanJack #AnneLister #AnnWalker @BBC @LookoutPointTV @netflix.com @netflixuk.bsky.social

Life not what AW expected, AL dines with her friends, AW up when she returns and they make up the next day. #BringBackGentlemanJack #AnneLister #AnnWalker @BBC @LookoutPointTV @netflix.com @netflixuk.bsky.social

My 'rid of her' series. We'll start with Miss Brown. #BringBackGentlemanJack #AnneLister #AnnWalker @BBC @LookoutPointTV @netflix.com @netflixuk.bsky.social

AL climbs out the drawing room window to avoid little Mary but got caught. #BringBackGentlemanJack #AnneLister #AnnWalker @BBC @LookoutPointTV @netflix.com @netflixuk.bsky.social

ahh.... but Anne, ultimately, your journal is no longer far from the reach of human grasp. And we are grateful. #BringBackGentlemanJack #AnneLister #AnnWalker @BBC @LookoutPointTV @netflix.com @netflixuk.bsky.social

Then there's the time AW gave AL a silver pencil to replace the one Mariana gave her years before and on their anniversary. #BringBackGentlemanJack #AnneLister #AnnWalker @BBC @LookoutPointTV @netflix.com @netflixuk.bsky.social

Kind Ann knits Mariana a pair of slippers and appreciated M's loan of a drawing book. AL pays off a bet. #BringBackGentlemanJack #AnneLister #AnnWalker @BBC @LookoutPointTV @netflix.com @netflixuk.bsky.social

AW makes AL throat-cravat fills and AL buys a book of prayer for AW. #BringBackGentlemanJack #AnneLister #AnnWalker @BBC @LookoutPointTV @netflix.com @netflixuk.bsky.social

AL misses AW when she is at Cliff Hill. Sound like a woman who doesn't care about her partner? #BringBackGentlemanJack #AnneLister #AnnWalker @BBC @LookoutPointTV @netflix.com @netflixuk.bsky.social
