Worst reason to wear pants: Look at you go, Edith! Obviously inspired by the gung-ho attitude of her younger sister, Edith starts driving a tractor for that farmer we met back in season one. However, after borrowing some work pants from the farmer’s wife, Edith decides to also borrow the farmer. Unfortunately, her face sucking actions don’t go unnoticed: she’s soon informed (via letter, of course) that they’ve hired a male replacement. May we remind you that said farmer was the same one who had fluid drained from his heart in front of Gran and cousin Isobel? Way to stomp on our sympathy, Edith.
Best use of a cane to try to get your way: Downton is put forth as a venue for a convalescence home for soldiers. Granny’s none too pleased upon hearing the news. She slams her cane down and gives a few of her signature quips. “What’s next, resuscitation in the dining room?”
Worst proposal: Bates inherits from his recently deceased mother and promptly proposes to Anna. (Correction: he suggests a future together and then tells Anna that she can consider it a marriage proposal “if that’s what she’d like to call it.”) How… sweet?

I’m loving Downton Abbey! I’ve got a real soft spot for Masterpiece…beats so much of the mindless shows on TV these days:)
I love this series. Very entertaining not like some of the mindless shows that are aired on TV.
Wearing that red coat to a bar mitzvah — acceptable or not acceptable?
