"Oh dear, I am sorry. Your father and I were preoccupied," She sad with a slight blush and Mary rolled her eyes. "Is everything alright?"
"Mrs. Patmore had some trouble with an ingredient but I talked to her and we worked it out."
"Thank you, darling."
Robert moved closer, slipping his hand into Cora's, whispering in her ear. "I can't wait to sleep beside you tonight."

Mary sighed. "Why must they be so lovey dovey?"
"Mary, they haven't seen one another in months and they love each other. It's not surprising. Yu were young when he and your uncle fought in the Boer Wars. The distance and the worry eat at you and you can't help wanting to celebrate their... return," she said, trying not to cry.
"Oh, aunt Rosamund, I am so sorry!" Mary said remembering that her uncle never returned from fighting.
