Marigold's loved her new Papa and her new Granny. She also loved the big castle they all lived in. But sometimes she missed Downton.
...
Marigold had been scared when she and Granny Cora were about to travel to Branchester. She had been so little then, and she didn't know what was going to happen. The grown-ups had tried to explain it to her, but she hadn't understood it all.
She had just got a Mama - Aunt Edith told her to call her Mama now - and a Papa. But Mama had said that she and Papa would go away, and later they would come back to the new place they would live in. It was Papa's house, but Marigold wondered why Papa couldn't live at Downton, like George's new Papa did.
Mama and Papa had both come to say good-bye to Marigold that evening when Mama and Marigold had taken off their white dresses. Mama wasn't dressed in a night-gown though, she had put on a beautiful blue dress.
"I will miss you every day", Mama said and hugged Marigold for a long, long time.
Papa looked at them.
"I will also miss you , Marigold", he said then, very softly. "And I'm looking forward to seeing you again at Brancaster. Your new home, Mama's new home and actually my own new home also."
...
And after that they were gone, Mama and Papa both.
Marigold had lived in the nursery for some more time, playing with Sybbie and George.
She missed her Mama.
She didn't really miss her Papa. He was nice and she liked him but she hadn't known him long enough to miss him.
Yet.
