53. Odd Socks

Cora cocks her eyebrow; Robert crawls around the room on all fours.

"If your mother could see you now," she says, "I think even she would have a difficult time in believing your bloodline is more refined than mine."

Robert sticks his head under her vanity.

"What have you lost?" she asks him impatiently.

"My sock."

It's not the answer that she was expecting.

"And how have you managed that?"

"You should know the answer to that one, my dear. But I really think that I ought to find it before Watson starts to wonder why I'm wearing odd ones."


A/N: Again, I had no idea how to use this prompt. Le sigh.

antigone - Yes, she certainly would! xD Violet knows everything that goes off in Downton! In regards to drunken stuff...I don't think I'm brave enough to go there; Robert's difficult enough when sober! :P But thanks for reviewing. :)
