Period Drama Quote Quiz Answers

And now, announcing the scores from last week's Period Drama Quote Quiz...
The Anne-girl comes in first with 26 points! Although I must say her win was not strictly fair, since she and I (being sisters) have seen all the same movies and she knows which quotes I like. :)

Second place goes to Alexandra, with 22 points, while Hayden and Miss Laurie tie for third with 21 points each. Other scores...

Melody: 17 (though she did have a hint :))
Miss Molly: 10 (also my sister, but she hasn't seen as many period dramas as I have)
Rachel: 8
Ella: 5
