Morning Glory
T isa matter of taste whether My Lady chooses to abandon her household cares in favour of someone else’s episodic domestic crises, or whether she prefers to board Mr. Thunder’s pirate ship on the Caribbean. Personally, I would choose the’ Caribbean. Then I could return to my mop and duster shuddering at the thought of "the ’eathen" in the rigging, or a broadside below the waterline. But apart from adding a little extra vigour to my wielding of the mop, "Mr. Thunder’s" connection with domesticity is nil. No one is going to regret that pirates do not happen upon the domestic horizon: one even prefers them to remain in the Caribbean, if one thinks about it at all. But with the domestic serial the case is
very different. Home looks remarkably hum-drum in the light of these broadcast revelations of what home might
‘be like, given, presumably, the right ingredients, Probably the only way is to regard it all with as much detachment ds one accords the pirate ship.
