  • Robert cannot bear listening to Edith lie to him anymore, and so decides to confront her about Marigold. Much to Edith's surprise, her Papa is delighted to have another Granddaughter but believes it is best to continue keeping this secret within the family in order to protect them both from scrutiny.
    Season 5 Episode 9 ”A Moorland Holiday”: Lord and Lady Sinderby invite the Granthams to the country estate they have hired for driven grouse shooting. Elsewhere, Violet reunites Prince Kuragin and his estranged wife. Robert tells Edith that he knows Marigold is her legitimate daughter but will continue to keep the secret within the family to protect them both from scrutiny. Later, Isobel declines Lord Merton's marriage proposal, as she does not want to come between him and his sons. Finally, Anna is released on bail and a big Christmas party is held for the Downton household, which is the perfect send-off for Tom and Sybbie.

      Marina Ka-Fai they really left it too late to appreciate her. When Bertie's mom praises her and Cora says "I've been waiting for someone to work that out" I was so angry. Much of Edith's misery has been caused by her parents never giving her the respect and attention they gave Mary and Sybil. If you don't value your child, why should anyone else? That's why everyone else disregarded Edith too. The two men who loved her were both outsiders and not privy to her family's treatment of her. They saw who Edith really is.

      @@inayatahmed5828 Besides, just look at how they dealt with grief between one another! When Sybil died, everyone tried to cheer each other up and both Edith and Mary were kind and sisterly to a devastated Tom. Edith took care of her mother while Mary tried to help her father. When Matthew died, everyone was super careful around Mary (and rightfully so!), Edith tried to hide her romance with Gregson from her sister so she would not hurt her, she basically walked on eggshells. What do they do when Edith learns Gregson died after being missing for a year? They leave her, going on a picnic because it was planned and no one even berates Mary for how she speaks to Edith because Edith complained of a lack of sensitivity on her part, making Mary comments she hopes she doesn't attend because she always ruins everything.

    For those who think Edith acted selfishly with regards to the Schroeders and Drewes, of course she did. But the tremble in her voice when she said "I can't give her up" - this is a mother speaking, a mother who loves her baby, who never should have had to be parted from her for a minute. Excellent acting, excellent writing! And I'm so proud of Robert here. A long-deserved moment between father and long-neglected daughter.

      Except, how is Marigold going to grow up, now? What about what's best for her? If they tell her who her mother is as a child, she'll be burdened to keep this secret while the other kids get to openly talk about who their parents are. If they never tell her, she'll never understand her place at Downton. If they tell her as an adult, her entire concept of who she is will be ripped away. It's not fair to her, even if Edith feels bad about it. She'll feel a lot worse about it if Marigold lashes out at her when she learns the truth. Not to mention the turbulence in her early childhood where she is constantly ripped away from families.

      "... this is a mother speaking, a mother who loves her baby, who never should have had to be parted from her for a minute...."
      Maybe today, but a hundred years ago, there's no way she would have ever been allowed to keep her illegitimate child at the Abbey. Edith knew the social rules of the day and she broke them. She then would get mouthy and angry whenever anyone suggested something that she didn't personally want to hear. No matter how much her parents might have loved her, the aristocracy's whole existence was based on heredity and legitimacy. An illegitimate child would have destroyed the entire family's reputation and all of the Crawley's would have been social outcasts. It just would not have ever happened.

    • @KoiYakultGreenTea
      @KoiYakultGreenTea 3 ปีที่แล้ว +21

      Even if were she not the neglected child, this is still something that should warrant forgiveness. Having a child out of wedlock as a woman even in the 1910s-20s is still something highly scandalous and improper. Even today a single mother deals with some negative implications (teen pregnancy, divorce, prostitution, etc that people would assume because its not the 'nuclear' family that is the ideal).
      And when Mary got confronted by her father about Pamuk, she also was afraid her father wouldn't forgive her. She made her mother implicit in the secret because she knew her father would blow up. Might even have disowned her. Because she also believed as a girl and not the male heir, she is less important and thus more likely to be cast off for her scandal. When confronted she also was more resigned and sad than anything, by that point it had been a few years since Pamuk and she wasn't as scared as she was when it was fresh. But even she expected some blow back from her father. She expected her father to encourage her to go into sham marriage to keep the scandal hidden at her expense to be married to a man who blackmails her. she thought he wouldn't take her side.
      Both girls have their own mistakes and they both had to deal with it and both expected their father to have some blow back. But of course, there is more immediate tenderness to Mary cos she had been the eldest and of course its a bit unfair on Edith that she expected less love and affection from her father. Even so, the point remains that both girls had equal treatment by their father equal and quite unexpectedly and atypical of aristocratic fathers of the time.

      ​@@seithdaniel9013Edith never got punished by her parents for anything either.
      She wrote to the Turkish Embassy to sell out her own sister, what repercussions did she face from Robert or Cora? No Mary shouldn't have been that stupid but Edith should not have written either.
      She had a child out of wedlock, and was very much part of trying to avoid that scandal, it wasn't all on Rosamund or Violet, Edith also agreed to it before realising their plans simply couldn't work.
      The only real consequences Mary and Edith faced were from each other by and large, not their parents, which in the way they grew up in that echelon of society at the time wouldn't really have been their job unless it was done in front of them, it would have been the job of the governess/nanny most of the time.

No matter how hard you try to keep Lord Grantham in the dark. He observes. He listens. He figures it out, confronts the matter head on in a loving way and then moves forward.

    That's just one of my favorite scenes in the whole series. I remember in my 20s when I got a tattoo, I kept it hidden from my parents, I knew they wouldn't like it. One day my mom walked in while I was changing, and saw it -- and instead of blowing up, she said "wow, I always wanted one of those." That mixture of shock, relief, happiness, and -- acceptance that I felt, is exactly what Edith showed all over her face. Laura Carmichael played that scene beautifully.

    Even though this is a tv show, it just goes to show that those huge fears of disapproval from those who we love and family are many times just stirred up in our heads as huge obstacles. Parents love us and have grace and forgiveness and acceptance beyond our wildest dreams. Poor Edith thought that she could not tell her family, it being in the twenties. But she feared her sister's reactions even more. Mary was an over bearing prig when it came to Edith.
