I would like, first and foremost, to acknowledge the contribution of Gareth Neame. He had the idea in the first place, of making a series about a country house, dealing with the lives of a family and their servants, and since then, he and our producer, Liz Trubridge, have consistently improved the scripts at every stage. We are essentially the triumvirate at the heart of the show. I would also like to thank Ion Trewin who has been bottomlessly patient in editing this book, Doctor Alasdair Emslie, FFOM, for his matchless resourcefulness in supplying medical conditions that will answer the narrative requirements of a plot, my agents, Cathy King and Jeremy Barber, and of course my wife, Emma, and my son, Peregrine, who read the script before anyone else and so weeded out the worst bits. I am very grateful to them all.
The Earl and Countess of Grantham, whose lives are not as uncomplicated as one might think.
The servants form a line as the car containing the Duke of Crowborough arrives.
ROBERT: Carson, I hope you weren't embarrassed this afternoon. I can assure you the Duke very much appreciated his welcome.
DUKE OF CROWBOROUGH: But I remember this man. Didn't you serve me when I dined with Lady Grantham in London?
Mary looks up and her jaw drops. Riding towards her is one of the handsomest, sexiest men she has ever seen in her life.
Kemal Pamuk, the son of one of the Sultan's ministers, is in England for the Albanian talks.
