1.9—Queen of the Flowers

August 28, 2016

Lots to talk about in this episode, including the seeming pointlessness of proper etiquette for these young women, historic bathing huts, the duplicity of men, the situation with Jane’s mother. And the Judo scene. How we love the Judo scene! (“Maneuver 1! Groin! Maneuver 2! Throat!”) If there was a Phryne Fisher School of Deportment and Self Defense, we would be the first two in line.

A couple things we mentioned in the show that you may want to check out:
