But what was that visit to a Harley St. (?) doctor all about, by the Downton daughter who was involved with the chap who went to Germany? She said she was going to London to his office. Is she with child?

[mallyh]

is this the petula clarke version of downton lol

[anneasquith]

is she with child ? well it would appear she stayed out until 6am with the boyfriend :(

[frugalfred]

Ah, yes, I remember Petula singing "Things will be great when we're down town"

[mallyh]

what became of the relative who turned up injured after the war do you know?

[anneasquith]

[anneasquith]

[vakayu]

That is the trouble now,Bates will not let it lie,to be continued.....

[knowabit]

She signed papers to give her control of his company I think?? And now he has disappeared..... Hmmmm, is she gonna take the fall for something??

[trt]

How did Bates wife know she wasn't pregnant shortly after the rape?

[DJHawkes]

he's gone to germany and this is where they'll bring the german sympathisers in i think.

[anneasquith]

because mrs whats her name said '' now you know there is no baby ''

[trt]

##mrs whats her name know said '' now you know there is no baby ''##

There were no pregnancy kits them days and it was to soon after the rape to know?

[mallyh]

not if a certain lady thing happned soon after .

[bednobs]

the same way that EVERYONE knew they were not pregnant in the days before PG tests - the got their period

I thought Mr Mystery Relative was outed as someone who had been close to the man who died on the Titanic and thus knew all about him and his life.

And I'm wondering too if Lady Edith is preggers.

By the way, I would lay money that Bates is going to find out who raped his wife, but rather than attacking him, he's going to do something clever. My guess is that he will set him up so that it looks like he's stolen something (on another visit to the Abbey) - something that'll see him lose his position and end up in jail.

And round of applause to the scriptwriters for this little exchange:

Mrs Crawford: So will you take him on? He impressed me so favourably!

Dowager Duchess: I wonder your halo doesn't grow heavy...it must be like wearing a tiara around the clock.
