VOLUME I - In the Season of 1936 Eton and Collegian chaps fill the House of Grantham to chance just a glance at Downton's young roses, Sybbie and Marigold.

A possible conversation between Robert and Cora, to bring an end to the Bricker affair.

This story started out as an exploration of the maternal and sometimes not so maternal relationship between Violet Crawley and her son. It then wandered into many unexpected places and times. It is a bit of an epic. Several longish chapters to follow. I do not own Downton Abbey or these characters but I certainly admire Julian Fellowes who does and did.

This concluding chapter takes us back to what triggered this whole ride in the first place; Robert's relationship with is very formidable mother. I want to thank everyone for their kind reviews and I HOPE this turns up as a chapter not as a separate story, but I have my doubts. Again, I do not own these character and no copyright infringement is intended.

After Downton Cottage Hospital was acquired by The Royal Yorkshire, Doctor Richard Clarkson took his cue and moved on. Happy and fulfilled in his new position, he hasn't looked back. What will happen when he crosses paths with Isobel Grey, Baroness Merton? Consider this my take on how the film should go. *Now rated M*

Anna and John are single parents trying to handle demanding lives that include children and careers. They find out they share more than their parental status or international work.
