One time I saw Hamlet at the Barbican and then waited outside afterwards for autographs from the cast. As Ciarán Hinds drew nearer and nearer down the line, I was trying to figure out how to concisely say that he was a wonderful Claudius and I loved him in Persuasion, which I watch every few weeks because it's so beautifully shot and his and Amanda Root's performances were so quietly impactful that's it's soothing to have on in times of high stress but of course when he got to me I just ended up blurting, "I WATCH YOU ONCE A MONTH!"
And I would not have blamed him if he went:
But after I explained myself, he just chuckled and said with convincing nostalgia, "Ah, that was during my sailor days."

Eight years, almost eight years had passed, since all had been given up. How absurd to be resuming the agitation which such an interval had banished into distance and indistinctness! What might not eight years do? Events of every description, changes, alienations, removals--all, all must be comprised in it, and oblivion of the past-- how natural, how certain too! It included nearly a third part of her own life.
....The years which had destroyed her youth and bloom had only given him a more glowing, manly, open look, in no respect lessening his personal advantages. She had seen the same Frederick Wentworth.
