Will the real Veruca Salt please stand up?


I waiting for Fleur to say, "I want it NOW daddy!" or "I want an Oompa Loompa now daddy!" or " I wanted to be the first to find a Golden Ticket, Daddy!"

I sorry but Fleur is giving me Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory flash backs! AND I've only watch one episode with her. If I have nightmare about Oompa Loompa I'm blaming the second part of The Forsyte Saga.

Does she end up falling down a big chutes? With Soames jumping in after her!????

LOL. Good analogy. (Except Veruca didn't lie and manipulate the way Fleur does.)

I seem to recall Fleur wasn't as horrible in the book as she was in this miniseries; not as deceitful, just spoiled. In the book it seemed to me as if Jon had allowed his opinion of Fleur to be formed by the opinion of his parents towards Soames. And thus, making that sad circle start all over again :(.

Now all 381mil of us have our own, personal Oompa Loompa for the next 4 years and he will be lying and manipulating his way through everything.
Sigh.
