He raises his head to look at the ambulance driver and freezes in shock, certain that he finally has snapped, that his mind could not take it anymore and went straight into hallucination.

With their wedding still some months away, Elsie and Charles stumble their way through their engagement with mere cups of tea to sustain them whilst they work out exactly how this is ever going to work. An in-canon tale that stretches the time frame seen in the show with a series of one shots - but only for the purposes of delving into more Chelsie goodness.

March 1912 - a baby is abandoned at the doors of Downton Abbey. Servant Thomas Barrow agrees to claim paternity for the foundling.
