Some Clan members were watching the wonderful 1994 BBC adaptation of George Eliot’s Middlemarch, starring (among other greats) the yummy Rufus Sewell (Aka “Rufie” to Clan Murphy) as Will Ladislaw. In one of Rufie’s early scenes, he comes striding across the Casaubon greensward, hair blowing in the wind like a Romantic hero, and dressed in a gorgeous wine-red coat.
The Clan ladies swooned.
“Nice coat!” quoth Rachel.
Ahem.
So now, when some gorgeous example of XY chromosomes crosses our line of sight, the girls of Clan Murphy are likely to respond with, “Nice coat!”
For our ever-growing list of other “nice coats” out there, go here.
