Robert, receiving letters from Cora. Stop. She seems unhappy. Stop. I will ask her. Stop. If she is then I will come over to England personally to see you both. Stop. I want to get to the bottom of this. Stop. Martha

Robert reread the telegram thrice over before leaning back in his chair at his father's desk in the library. His mind was racing with what sort of descriptions his new wife had been giving his mother-in-law in her correspondence. Considering that Martha had only been home two months and was already threatening to come back was very concerning news indeed for the Viscount. He thought he had been doing alright with their marriage and that Cora had been adjusting quite amicably to her new life. Perhaps he had missed something?

Sighing he stood up and pocketed the telegram. It was not the sort of note he wanted to leave lying around lest the likes of Rosamund or worse, Cora, should come across it. Coming to a decision, Robert started out of the room towards the stairs, intent on spending some quality time with his wife. There was no way Mrs Martha Levinson would be gracing the halls of Downton again so soon, not if the future Earl had anything to do with it.
