In this episode, April and Michele discuss Demon Copperhead the Nobel Prize Winning Novel for Fiction written by Barbara Kingsolver.  Pour a Rusty Nail and join them as they discuss what butters their bread about this book based on the classic Charles Dickens Novel, David Copperfield.   Is this the coming-of-age story that finally wins Michele over?  Will April think it lives up to her love of the original characters? Will they throw this baby out with the bathwater?  Do they work out how to pronounce tough words like "endure" and "rural"?  What the heck is head lettuce anyway? As a bookend Michele and April make up their own idioms, stay to the end to see if you can figure out what they mean.  

On the Sunday before they leave, Mr. Micawber and Mrs. Micawber have David over for dinner, and both thank him for being a friend to them in difficult times. Mr. Micawber urges David to spare himself similar difficulties by avoiding procrastination, though he also notes that "applying that maxim" to his engagement to Mrs. Micawber led him to go into debt to get married. He then reiterates that David should never spend more than he earns, and David promises to heed this advice.

David says goodbye to the Micawbers as they board a coach the next morning, and Mr. Micawber reiterates that he hopes his "blighted destiny" will serve as a warning to David. He also promises to help David if anything "turns up," which he says he is sure it will.

Whilst David was away at Peggoty's home, his mother remarries. David's new 'father' is a strict authoritarian and views emotions as signs of weakness. He believes in firmness and when David struggles in his studies he is quick to administer punishment.

David's relationship with his mother is further strained when talk of a boarding school education is raised.

Peggotty takes David to Yarmouth, where her family live in a boat which they had converted into a home. Peggotty’s brother, Mr. Daniel Peggotty, adopted his nephew, Ham, and his niece, Little Em’ly, who are not siblings, when their fathers drowned. Mrs. Gummidge, the widowed wife of Mr. Peggotty’s brother, lives with them too.

David has a lovely time on holiday and quite forgets about his mother back at home. When he arrives, Peggotty tells him that his mother married Mr. Murdstone while they were away. David is reunited with his mother. Mr. Murdstone orders David’s mother to control herself in her behavior toward her son. David sees Mr. Murdstone again, for the first time as his mother’s husband. David thinks that Mr. Murdsone, with his great black beard, looks like an enormous and threatening dog.

Supermodel. Le terme est apparu dans les années 90, et renvoie à ce groupe très restreint de mannequins féminins de l’époque, extrêmement bien payées, ultra prisées par les maisons de couture, et jouissant d’une aura mondiale. Alors il y a Naomi, Cindy, Linda, Eva et la plus célèbre de l’époque, peut-être,…Claudia. Claudia Schiffer. Elle débarque sur les shootings à 20 ans, elle est allemande, elle mesure 1,80m, et ses mensurations sont loin de l’ultra minceur prisée ces dernières années... Les femmes l’admirent, et les hommes en rêvent. A l’époque, c’est le magicien David Copperfield qui conquiert son cœur et tout ce qu’on peut dire, c’est qu’on ne s’y attendait pas. 

Dans cette mini-série consacrée à la vie privée des supermodels, la journaliste Marie Salah vous emmène à la fin du siècle dernier, là où ces femmes régnaient sur les podiums et où leur beauté étaient toute puissante. Comment Claudia Schiffer est devenue cette icône de mode incontestée qui hystérisait les foules ? Comment est né son couple inattendu avec David Copperfield, qui a donné lieu  au fil du temps à moult étranges rumeurs ? 

Pour répondre à ces questions, se succèdent à son micro :  

- Renee Engeln, professeure à la Northeastern university of Chicago, chercheuse et créatrice du Body & Media Lab, auteure de Beauty Sick: How the Cultural Obsession with Appearance Hurts Girls and Women  

- Audrey Millet, historienne, chercheuse au CNRS et experte en écosystème de la mode française. Auteure de Le Livre noir de la mode 

- Nathalie Cros-Coitton, ancienne directrice booking chez Élite, présidente de la Fédération française de mannequins. Auteure de Catwalk : itinéraire d’une femme de mode. 

- Valérie Gorin, sociologue des médias à l’Université de Genève.

David recalls his home and its vast and mysterious passageways, the churchyard where his father is buried, Sundays in church, and his early life with his youthful, pretty mother and the kindly, capable Peggotty.

After the stranger's departure, David hears an argument between his mother and Peggotty about the man. Peggotty insists that the man, Mr. Murdstone, is not an acceptable suitor.

About two months later, Peggotty invites David to spend a fortnight with her at her brother's place at Yarmouth. David is eager to go, but he asks what his mother will say. "She can't live by herself, you know," he insists. Young as he is, he does not realize that he is being sent away deliberately. His mother has a tearful farewell with him. As David and Peggotty drive off in a cart, David looks back. He sees Mr. Murdstone come up to his mother and apparently scold her for being so emotional.
