The House at Riverton by Kate Morton is a good, quick, and entertaining read. If you enjoyed Downton Abby, you won't be disappointed. It is a story where the narrator, Grace, is similar to housemaid Anna's character on the TV series... She is recounting her years in service at Riverton around the same time period in history. There are some twists and turns and mysteries....

Just finished watching the Christmas special - Downton Abbey: A Journey to the Highlands. The sudden death of Matthew Crawley makes me so sad, then I found this article online.

I quote," However sad the end of Matthew Crawley, the happiness of Dan Stevens is likely to grow and grow."

Are you thinking of a career in banking?"

Cora: "Things are different in America."

Lady Grantham: "I know. They live in wigwams."

• Cora: "Are we to be friends then?"
Lady Grantham: "We are allies, my dear, which can be a good deal more effective."


• "I couldn't have electricity in the house, I wouldn't sleep a wink. All those vapors floating about."


• Cora: "I hope I don't hear sounds of a disagreement."
Lady Grantham: "Is that what they call discussion in New York?"


• "No one wants to kiss a girl in black."

• Lord Grantham: "We better go in soon or it isn't fair to Mrs. Padmore."

Lady Grantham: "Oh, is her cooking so precisely timed? You couldn't tell."

• Lady Grantham: "You are quite wonderful the way you see room for improvement wherever you look. I never knew such reforming zeal."

Mrs. Crawley: "I take that as a compliment."

Lady Grantham: "I must've said it wrong."

"I don't dislike him, I just don't like him, it's quite different."


• Doctor: "Mrs. Crawley tells me she has recommended nitrate of silver and tincture of steel."

Lady Grantham: "Why, is she making a suit of armor?"

老太太在剧中的对白特别精彩,有时候冷不丁冒一句诙谐的台词,让你莞儿一笑,喜欢这个人物形象的刻划,现实中也确实有老太太有时候比年青人还开化的例子。
