[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Any thoughts on what Mary will do once finds out the truth about Marigold?[/quote]

What can she do? Her parents are okay with it, and it's not like she hasn't had plenty of scandal of her own. Edith is pulling away from Downton just as Mary is getting more involved.[/quote]

I actually wondered whether her first assumption would be that Marigold is her father's, not Edith's.  She may be putting it together with Edith's trip to Switzerland and her being sort of obsessed with Marigold, which Mary thought was weird.  But, absent that, I would think that back then, when a "secret baby" shows up, the most natural assumption is that it's the male in the family that is responsible.  (In fact, I think that was actually pretty common -- illegitimate kids of the pater familia being incorporated into the family in some second-tier sort of way.)  Granny just said it was a secret after all, not anything about Edith.[/quote]

I had the same thought.

As for the character of Cora, I think they're lighting more harshly now to show the passage of years and make people seem older. [/quote]
