fuck yeah lady mary
for fans of the flawlessly flawed Lady Mary Crawley of Downton AbbeyMAINTAINED BY MARTINA
“All this talk of weddings is making me impatient.”
“I don’t think we can go into competition with Matthew and Lavinia, do you?”
“After then. In the summer. Let’s settle it before I return to London. You must be looking forward to travelling again. I know I am.”
“Very well. The end of July. Then we can be out of England for August.”
“You don’t sound very excited.”
“To quote you ‘that’s not who we are.”
The odd thing is, I feel… for the first time, really, I understand what it is to be happy. It’s just I know that I won’t be.

MARY: William, are you planning to go home soon?
WILLIAM: Well, it’s a bit far for my half day. But I can maybe get the time in July, when the family’s in London. That’s if I don’t go with you, of course.
MARY: I think you should take a few days off and go now. I’ll fix it. I’ll speak to Father and to Carson. No-one will mind.
WILLIAM: But why, My Lady?
MARY: Your mother’s not been well.
WILLIAM: How do you know?
MARY: I heard someone mention it in the village. I forget who.
WILLIAM: I had a letter, and she never said.
MARY: Oh, I’m sure it’s nothing. I know it will cheer her to see you.
WILLIAM: Well…if it wouldn’t be a bother.
MARY: It won’t. I’ll arrange it as soon as I get back.
WILLIAM: Thank you very much, My Lady.
MARY: She ought to spend some time with the people she loves.
