Oh, bloody hell. Did we forget "checkmate" is one word, or are you exhorting us to inquire about the well-being of our significant others? In that case, do check your mates, everyone, it's just good form. Cheers.

@charliersmith1 I say - while the layering of light and shadow often proves difficult, no work of art is made more beautiful by removal of certain colors or brushstrokes. On this work of art known as Earth, I'm quite glad your colors and brushstrokes are still with us! 🙂♥️

@hughbon I have unoccupied bedrooms!

Buckingham Palace looked spectacular tonight! #PlatinumJubilee #HM70

[Robert Lord Grantham @Robert_Crawley]

@NotJustA_Rose In that case, I say splendid! Tom and Henry are scouting some new Italian car falderal for their shop, and Bertie is at a seminar of sorts on North Africa. Heaven knows I've long played the exception to a house ruled by women, I'll feel right at home!

[Robert Lord Grantham @Robert_Crawley]

@hughbon Perhaps it would be better deserving of the name Purgatoryman's... not awful, not great, just somewhere in limbo....

[Robert Lord Grantham @Robert_Crawley]

@NotJustA_Rose I think that would be a lovely idea! I'm sure @MrsPatmore would be agreeable, we can make a whole thing of it! Do you have an evening in mind? And will Atticus be joining? Edith and Mary will be quite pleased! And of course, you know m'ma is always up for a party.

[Robert Lord Grantham @Robert_Crawley]

@NotJustA_Rose Darling Rose, I'm sorry I was spending some time on the Continent with Cora! You may walk with Tiye any time you wish! She is quite a good listener, as it turns out... and I shan't say how I've come to know that! How are you, my dear?

[Robert Lord Grantham @Robert_Crawley]

@NotJustA_Rose You never have, heretofore, and I'm confident you never shall! *winksmiley*

[Robert Lord Grantham @Robert_Crawley]

@NotJustA_Rose @BitchHeiress I'll not deny it, she could poison my salmon mousse and I'd forgive her as long as I have little Tiye!

[Robert Lord Grantham @Robert_Crawley]

M'ma, I forget, are you using @theLadyGrantham now or @LadyVGrantham?

Honestly, the woman doesn't know what a weekend is, but she has enough Twitter accounts to field a cricket squad.

@NotJustA_Rose @BitchHeiress An expression of which I've been on the receiving end more than I should like to recall!

[Robert Lord Grantham @Robert_Crawley]

@NotJustA_Rose @BitchHeiress I meant no offense, Rose! It's just that horoscopes are decidedly more free-spirited than I imagine my darling daughter to be.... However, if we speak strictly about the expression, then yes, Mary, you've definitely captured the essence!

[Magic Classical @ScalaRadio]

It's impossible to imagine #DowntonAbbey without the 'Lunnage'.

You can listen back to @ForrestMark's interview with @hughbon and @ElizabethMcGov online or via the Scala Radio app!

[Robert Lord Grantham @Robert_Crawley]

@NotJustA_Rose Good luck and be well! We'll be here when things calm down for you!

[Robert Lord Grantham @Robert_Crawley]

@BitchHeiress Good heavens, Mary. Don't tell me you've fallen in with any of that horoscope falderal. His name is Aleister Crowley, not Crawley, after all. No familial obligations. Did @NotJustA_Rose put you on to this?

BONG BONG BONG BONG

[Robert Lord Grantham @Robert_Crawley]

@L_MarysEyebrows I rather think we're expected, wouldn't you? Seems a faît accompli!

[Robert Lord Grantham @Robert_Crawley]

@hughbon I shall look forward to seeing you in the VIP section! I'll be somewhere the... popcorn gadgetry, and the... pop thingamajig... er... something something public loo... blast, I'm not very good at the modern verbiage, am I?

[Robert Lord Grantham @Robert_Crawley]

@NotJustA_Rose That is well said, make no mistake! And I know they would value that, too. It was a funny business, losing Sybil eventually brought Mary, Edith, and Tom closer, but they were still missing an important piece. They need you as much as you need them, I'd wager!
