Peon, I love her sarcastic sayings. The friendship between her and Lady Crawley is awesome!
They compliment each other. Lol (in a weird way)


I love the push and pull between them!!

Does Bates know it was Gillingham or is he still under the impression it was his valet, Green?

You ARE behind! It was never Gillingham. Green is no more. He had a tragic accident in London the day Bates took a day trip to York.

Also. I love Shirley MacLaine, but do you think they are making her look older on purpose? How old is she now, anyway?

The real question is, did Bates take out Green?

Since they found the rr ticket in his overcoat, we know he went to London instead. Himself and I both think he did it, but since LadyM tossed the ticket in the fire, there is no proof (that we know of).

I'm really enjoying how Daisy is growing up. And poor Sybil -- that woman can not catch a break.

I really loved the "coming out" theme. Do they still do that for young girls in the UK?

Yes, Bates probably did rearrange Green's outlook. But I suspect we shall never know for certain.

He did seem even snootier than usual. I rather liked the friendly enthusiasm of the American valet, especially when he was hawking the canapes!
