She's the worst possible woman for Robert. An American! She barely knows how to hold her fork correctly!
The words are loud in her head. Every night she hears the same complaints from the Countess of Grantham.
Her accent is really rather offensive. It doesn't fit in with refined English society!
She cannot master anything. It will be a sorry day indeed when she takes my place as Countess.
Insult after insult after insult. Cora bites her lip to fight back tears.
And then her saviour.
Cora is perfect the way she is, Mama.
Quiet, controlled. Robert is her champion.
A/N: And back to the beginning again.
antigone - You've summed up the reasons for Robert and Cora's drifting apart so perfectly. :) And that interview with Elizabeth McGovern sounds very interesting. I've not seen/read that. I really hope that Robert and Cora's relationship is explored further in series three, because there's so much potential after the events of series two. Thanks once again for reviewing!
