I really enjoy this episode. I can so clearly see these spinster women and what they look like as they're checking out their new windfall of a home and going through the old letters they find, all tied up with "pale blue ribbon -- so sweet!" -- letters that will "provide many interesting evenings before the fireplace" I imagine the livelier one to look like the schoolteacher in "Little House on a Prairie" -- isn't that funny? But whatever she "really" looks like, she and her cousin are such delightful characters -- "delightful" being a really apt word. They're just charming, all wide-eyed and romantic, and hearing them talk evokes a sense of cosiness in me. A very gentle and fun and sweet episode, and I highly recommend it!

A thought:  wouldn't it be fun to get together with a nice handful of OTR fans, for all of us to be gifted artistically, to draw what we "see" when we listen to various shows -- and compare them?
