On the eve of World War I, Mary Downton's eldest was reaching marriageable age. The masters and servants in the manor face the wave of modernization (personal understanding, the wording may be inaccurate) to be clumsy (personal understanding), and maintain their own masters and their own families. The rule of law and its localized resources that I watched some time ago, the first season of this drama is just like the title of this book, which is the elegant resistance and resolutely moderate tolerance of the old nobles. The eldest lady is indeed the eldest lady. As the heiress of the manor without males, Mary is a very dignified and dignified image, which also attracted the admiration and desire of a group of suitors including Mr Pamuk, a staff member of the Turkish embassy. Affection. In the face of the second sister Edith's back slander, the eldest sister chose to retort, said sarcastic words behind the suitors she finally attracted, and poured cold water on the proposal. And the separation - although the two were in love with each other, and the grandmother and other family members also wanted to match, but the hostess of the manor at the time, Mary, Edith, Sybil's mother Lady Grantham was pregnant, and she was not sure whether it was a male. In this case, the grandmother was also thinking about Mary, fearing that Mary would lose the title of heiress, and Matthew was a country lawyer, which was equivalent to a profession that was considered "half-hearted" and "dangerous" in the eyes of the nobles, so the grandmother advised Mary to wait until the younger brother/sister. was born, and then replied to Matthew after confirming the gender. At this moment, Matthew felt that Mary was deliberately dragging him because he was a lawyer and did not match her identity. In her eyes, his future was uncertain. If he was born It was a boy, and he could not inherit the manor even if he married Mary, so his grandmother told Mary to back down at this time.
And Mary is just a very obedient child, she is sincere to her cousin.
When World War I broke out, Matthew went to the front line, and the battle was suspended in the middle. He took leave and came back to Downton, but he already had his fiancée by his side. In just two days, Matthew will go to the front line again, and Mary will say goodbye on the train platform. Seeing that Matthew repeatedly asked Mary to take care of his mother and fiancee, and once he couldn't come back, let her marry someone else. Mary gave him a lucky gift, but he ignored the meaning of it. , deliberately ignored. The melancholy expression after getting on the train makes people feel emotional - he also loves Mary!
