Live a little

Other than Mary saying "I'll do it. I have no problem lying", this may have been my favorite scene on the Downton Abbey finale this past Sunday.

“You can always hold my hand if you need to feel steady,” Mrs. Hughes assures a nervous Carson. 

"I don’t know how, but you managed to make that sound a little risque,” he replies.

“And if I did? We’re getting on, you and I -- we can afford to live a little," Mrs. Hughes replies.

I really think they'd make a great couple, but I'd hate to see them start out well and then things take a turn (like they did with Anna and Bates, my previous favorite couple) and start making horrible things happen to them.

Honestly, poor Anna and Bates deserve a break. I hate that Anna spent most of the season having to suffer again and, of all the cast members, she's the most likable and kind.

I also hate that I have to wait a whole year to find out what happens next.

But, I'll wait.

Oh...I'll wait.

Tap, tap, tap...
