A/N: And another one. (I'm afraid, I'm obsessed...) This one is set after series 1. Sir Anthony has to go to war.


Leaving

This was it. He had received conscription order two days ago and now he was leaving. He would go to London first, then to the continent. Sir Anthony checked his luggage. Everything was prepared. He took Maud's portrait from his bedside table and put it in his brief case.

His family knew that he was leaving. He would meet his sister in London briefly. His servants would look after the house and the estate. Was there anybody else to inform? Maybe he should let Lady Edith know, but…

The ghastly, old bore had to go to war. She wouldn't care.
