Hey :) It's my first try in fanfiction and english is not my native language so it would be perfect if you could tell what you think about it :)
And of course the caracters and franchize aren't mine and they belong to J. Fellowes
The Butler of Downton reached the downstairs corridor along with its hustle and bustle. Usually the sound of activity was pleasing, but after a scene upstairs all he wanted was a bit of peace and quiet. Obviously this wasn't the place to get some. Turning on his heel Carson walked through the back entrance and into the courtyard. It was snowing lightly and quite freezing but at that moment he didn't mind. How could Sir Carlisle do something like that? And he thought about going to work for him. Clearly that wasn't an option anymore, and moreover, Lady Mary wasn't going to marry him anymore so no more of his long nose in this house, Carson thought smugly. That really unfolded itself nicely, as Mrs. Hughes said it would. Really, that infuriating scot-woman was proving herself right in everything.
Lately they started to have more and more disagreements. This was unsettling, because they started skipping their evening routine of wine sharing or gone so far as to avoid each other. All these musings made the butler forget the cold, but when he started shuddering and felt his teeth clattering he decided that it was time to go inside.
But when he tried to open the door to warmth, he couldn't. He tried the door again but it was still locked. Surely they couldn't all have one to bed, it was far too early! But after checking his pocket watch he understood that it was later than he had thought and he was too engrossed in his musings that he stood there for a lot longer than he intended. Now he was locked outside in a freezing cold, without his coat or even a scarf.
After deciding that he will have to try to get into the house through the front door, however improper it might be, he hastily made his way to the front door and rang the bell. Surely someone would still be up, or so he prayed. He didn't want to spend the night in this…snow.
