Caption Contest V Poll

Wow, what a lot of entries we had for the caption contest last week! With some difficulty I've narrowed it down to ten. Please vote in the poll on the sidebar for your favorite and I'll announce the winner next Wednesday or Thursday.

Caption Contest V

A brand-new caption contest is on tap for today-- this time with a brilliant picture from Wives and Daughters (1999) submitted by Beatrix!

Comment with your captions for this picture (they can involve both Molly and Mrs. Gibson or just one of the two) and I'll post a poll next Wednesday. The limit is two captions per person-- and as always, keep them clean, friendly and entertaining. Looking forward to seeing your captions!

Winner!

And the extremely late applause goes to... Robyn Hoode!

"To think, Miss Woodhouse, all the time it was your cup that was poisoned!"

Congratulations, Robyn! I'm afraid there's no prize involved in winning a Sink Me! caption contest, but you do get glory and honor from the readers of this blog. (Start glorying and honoring, everybody!) A new contest is going up later today, so be on the lookout.

They Say She's Only Sitting With Him Because She Has To...

Made by Lily of The Victorian Fans

(Note.. I have not seen BBC Robin Hood, so I don't actually know why Marian and Guy are in this scene together. The post title may be inaccurate-- if anyone with more knowledge wishes to enlighten me, feel free to do so!)
