First of all, this post has absolutely NO SPOILERS. And yet, it's true --- I love you, Lady Mary Crawley (played by Michelle Dockery) from Downton Abbey. Everybody pretty much knows about the British phenomenon and drama, Downton Abbey. The story basically goes: The heirs to Downton Abbey go down in the Titanic (I ain't spoilin' nuthin' --- that comes out in the first 10 minutes of the series). And, in order to save Downton Abbey, it must go to the next heir --- the COMPLETELY uninterested heir, Cousin Matthew. The ultimate? The eldest daughter of three (none of them sons), Lady Mary Crawley --- should marry Cousin Matthew. She's been called a "bitch" and a "minx," but I'll say it again --- I love you, Lady Mary Crawley. I don't care what anybody says about you. You have the burden of being the eldest, not a male, nor an heir and are a completely modern woman, bound by the standards of an English father, yet conflicted by the flexibility of an American mother. (P.S. For the record --- I fell in love with Downton before the rest of America.)
