Violet Crawley is the most flawless woman of life. Perfect woman is absolutely perfect.

Honestly, all this promotion is most flattering!

I believe I’ve already answered a similar question. Just make sure he loves you above everything else.

There’s been enough death in Downton. Let’s not talk about it.

Fortunately I have not. I try to be very careful.

Magical? Why, no I don’t. You must be confusing me with that woman who I’m told resembles me.

No, I have not. But we might be very distantly related if that’s worth anything.

I think I shall turn in for the night now. Thank you all so much for your amusing questions. I’ll get to the rest tomorrow. 

I must say, though, all the interest concerning my late husband startles me. He would be pleased that he is receiving all this attention even in death.

The lady’s maid would certainly have to leave, I’m afraid. She would not be able to work efficiently if half the time she was thinking about tending to her husband’s needs and not mine, so yes, I would mind. In fact, my previous lady’s maid left me to get married. It was most distressing.

No, we can’t have anyone assassinated apparently. Believe me, if that were possible, many people I know wouldn’t be alive today. Perhaps you should talk to your husband and if you can, see if you can get him to admit it without looking like you’re snooping around.

See the thing with love is that it sneaks up on you unexpectedly and you might not know it’s there for a long time. I don’t recall a moment when I realized I had fallen in love. All I knew was that I did love him.
