[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]ok re Edith's baby: the farmer, the Dowager, and Lord G's sister knows--she took Edith to some other country for a trip, but was really helping her with pregnancy and birth.[/quote]

How does the farmer know? How does Mary not suspect!?[/quote]

I think Edith told him but I can't remember now.

Mary wouldn't suspect b/c the two aren't close and Mary was going through her own stuff, e.g., depression after Matthew's death.

Better question is why Cora isn't more attuned to her daughters.  Not that she would guess Edith had a kid, but seems clueless that Edith is so utterly unhappy.[/quote]

Yes, this is sort of an annoying quality with DA.  The characters are so involved in their own stories--the writers aren't recognizing that as a family, they'd all be at least a little more in tune with what's going on with each other.  Like Cora should be onto something about Edith, and possibly Mary. Or maybe not "onto" something but notice that something's not quite right.  It's like the stories stand alone too much.  And a PPs point about Rose is true, too…she's just there, sitting around.  Maybe she didn't catch audience appeal last season so they downgraded her, but it's sort of weird to have her be there and not have any men swirling around her. [/quote]
