Downton Abbey, Season 2

She will be haunted, of course, but at least she was brave. This episode offered a great deal of courage?upper lips were stiff even as lower lips quivered with oncoming sobs. There was William, bravely pushing Matthew aside as a shell fell near them in Amiens. (And I guess now we know why all the other war scenes looked so shitty?they blew their budget on this one, to excellent effect.) There was paralyzed Matthew, bravely sending Lavinia away, doing what he thought was best even though it was as cruel as could be. (Hell, in 1918 it apparently took a great deal of courage even to allude to the marital act in private conversation with your fiancee.) Mrs. Hughes faced up to the dastardly major in passing along Ethel?s letter. And there was Mary, perhaps the bravest of all, confessing her shame to Sir Richard and, with clear eyes, asking for his help in stamping out Mrs. Bates? plans to ruin the Crawleys.
