Hi everyone, I am back with another chapter. This weekend was a long one and this morning I had set out to edit this chapter and I am glad the way it turned out and I hope you do too. I have finished writing season 3 episode 8.

Without anymore rambling, enjoy reading episode 6 - Patrick!

November 1918. Three months passed brutally for Emma. She had helped in all her spare time to aid James to recover, although his eyes had made some progress from just being dark blurs, he could see light blurs within months. Emma was a little relieved that she could be with him without Grace. Although Grace appeared at Downton from time to time to aid James, even though he asked her not to be there. She tried to insist that they were still engaged and she would throw glares at Emma whenever James wasn't looking and Emma would pretend not to notice. Emma knew that James was getting frustrated with Grace when she didn't listen. When James was resting on the couch, he had asked for one of the Sherlock Holmes novels and Emma went into the library where she saw Edith putting books away on the shelf and Sir Richard and Robert were talking.

'I was asking about Hacksby Park. I'm taking Mary over there tomorrow.' Sir Richard said.

'Our Hacksby Park? Why? Are the Russells selling?' Edith asked him.

'Not officially, but I'm told they're open to offers.'

Emma's eyebrows furrowed as she took one Sherlock Holmes out from the shelf and said, 'That's quite sad. The Russells and the Crawleys have been neighbours for centuries.'

'They're not living there anymore.'

'It'll be strange for Mary. She's been going to that house ever since she was a little girl in a party dress.' Robert said.

'We all have.' Edith underlined.

'There's nowhere better near Downton.'

'I'm not sure how comfortable it is.' Robert said.

'Well, it will be comfortable when I'm finished with it. Central heating, modern kitchens, bathrooms with every bedroom. It's all possible.'

Emma's eyebrows rose and she glanced at Robert.

'Sounds more like an hotel.' Robert grumbled.

Mr Carson entered to introduce a visitor.

'Major Clarkson.'

'Good morning, Lord Grantham.' Major Clarskson greeted and he nodded at the young women, 'Lady Edith, Lady Emma. Sir.'

Then Major Clarkson turned his attention on Robert.
