Pemberley state of mind

“When I told people I was playing this part they’d say ‘oh she’s a wonderful cartoon character, you’ll have great fun’. 
I said ‘excuse me, no she’s not. She’s got a problem to be dealt with and it seems to me that she’s the only one taking the problem seriously’. The father isn’t, the daughters don’t seem terribly concerned, and I would say that it’s okay for the father because he’s got a roof over his head all the time he’s alive, it’s when he goes that the problem sets in. She mentions that in one of the scenes”.
