Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaCould be misinterpreted as an anachronism; when Robert Crawley is speaking to Mary about his grandparents being "Edwardian" he is not referring to the era that they were born but rather the lifestyle of the Edwardian Era. It was inspired by the behavior of King Edward who lived a life of lavish indulgence and required very disciplined etiquette from all around him. The rich and Aristocratic of the time mimicked his behavior. Titles could be bought by the very weathly but they were not respected by society if they could not adhere to proper etiquette. WWI changed this behavior when resources became scarce and the gravity of the new British life encouraged more relaxed rules of propriety. This conversation is a nod to how Downton Abbey changed throughout the six seasons.
- GoofsRobert and Mary talk about her being blackmailed about when she went away with Tony. Mary says that that would not have happened in her Grandparents time and Robert refers to them as Edwardian. Edwardian refers to the time of King Edward VII who was King 1901-1910. He should have said Victorian after Queen Victoria who reigned 1837-1901.
Corrected: Robert is not referring to the era his grandparents were born in. He is referring to the era that influenced their lifestyle, i.e. the era of the fashionable and lavish king Edward VII.
- Quotes
Mrs. Hughes: I hadn't fully considered all the aspects of marriage, of what I was getting into.
Mrs. Patmore: I don't understand. What aspects? You know each other better than most couples at the start.
[They exchange glances]
Mrs. Patmore: Oh, my Lord. You mean...?
Mrs. Hughes: Yes. That is precisely what I mean.
Mrs. Patmore: Well, there's nothing so terrible about it, is there? So they say. I wouldn't know, of course.
Mrs. Hughes: Mrs. Patmore, look at me. I'm a woman in late middle age.
Mrs. Patmore: Oh, don't say 'late'.
Mrs. Hughes: I was not bad looking as a girl, if you can believe it.
Mrs. Patmore: Very easily.
Mrs. Hughes: But these days? I'm not sure I can let him see me as I am now.
Mrs. Patmore: Perhaps you can keep the lights off.
Mrs. Hughes: That is NOT helpful, Mrs. Patmore.
Mrs. Patmore: Well, won't he feel the same? I mean, no one's clapped eyes on him without his togs for years, except the doctor.
Mrs. Hughes: Good point. Very good point!
