    It was very common here in the South for cousins to marry. My best friend's parents were cousins.

    My impression always has been that Barnabas and Angelique's "nights in Martinique" in which events occurred that she later paraphrased as "not all promises are made with words" had been just a few months prior to the du Pres family's arduous journey to Maine. I forget how Lara Parker herself describes these events in her novel, but I'd be surprised if she portrayed it substantially differently from that. So, let's say Summer 1794 at the earliest--may have been Spring of 1795 if the courtship was orchestrated by Joshua as a formalization of his business partnership with Andre. As for Angelique, the Countess said she had known her as a rather simple child. My presumption, given that Angelique is white-skinned and fluent in upper-class French, is that Angelique and her mother were in service to the du Pres family, most likely on their estate in France, and that they all fled France with the rest of the family when the "unfortunate events" of 1789 occurred.

    Also, I think Patrick's cat is the real star of this show. And further, when Patrick pulls out the popcorn bowl--dramatic masterstroke.

    Further comment: Angelique was a lady's maid so would have been exempt from the really hard work such as drawing water for Mademoiselle Josette's bath or starting the fire in the fireplace in Josette's room. The narrative of what we see onscreen is that Angelique only begins to awaken to her own powers gradually, but of course, that gets retconned years later with the whole Miranda Duval thing. And I'll stop bugging you now.
