RE: [spoilers] Hermione Norris/Ros
If it were a couple of lines of the same writing at most, I could believe it were accidental, but three stanzas??

Have been looking this up, and found this article.
Quote:Franklin, in short, was a serial plagiary. Is this some dirty secret from his past, which would have disqualified him from a position of responsibility had it come out during his lifetime? Hardly. When several historians were recently charged with plagiarizing passages in their works, the scandal occupied front pages and buzzed in faculty lounges for months. But when Franklin stole whole works, no one cared. Far from being a scandal, it was almost the norm. In England, Laurence Sterne stole long passages from Robert Burton's Anatomy of Melancholy as he worked on Tristram Shandy, and John Wesley brazenly incorporated much of Samuel Johnson's Taxation No Tyranny into his own Calm Address to Our American Colonies. On both sides of the Atlantic, newspapers and magazines routinely lifted articles from each other without credit or payment.

But yes, still a wonderful piece of writing Smile

Also, which episode is your avatar from?
