    I love that Anna knows when something is wrong and stays behind to ask Mary if she's ok. Mary can't bare to be upset in front of her mother or even her father, as she thinks they might see her as a hopeless case - which of course they don't - but that is what expectations can do to someone in her situation. On the other hand, Mary feels she can tell Anna anything, because she will not judge her nor would she tell anyone else.

    1:42 For those of you who said Mary was always horrible to Edith for no reason, this is proof Edith was not always a silent/innocent victim. I stand by the fact that both sisters were always as bad as each other even if Edith was the middle daughter and Mary the eldest. And to me, Mary was never as snobbish to the servants as Edith was. Sure Cora and Robert did not help things but even the late Sybil and Tom could not dilute the endless drama between the two. I hope they learn to get along as they mature with age and each character's actress, Michelle and Laura were reported to have said they know their characters are bitches/not nice people so that surely says something!

Adding to this the fact that Anna was 26 when they met (so she wasn't that very young). Their relationship was actually very healthy

    I wish I could remember the specific event, I should be able to as many times as I’ve watched the series from beginning to end. It might have been after Mr. Bates intercepted the letter that was taken from the purse of Lady Rose’s friend. I do remember Lady Mary saying to Anna that the family was completely loyal to her and Mr. Bates. I loved that moment.

      It's overly exaggerated in DA. In real life some aristocratic ladies were close with their ladies maids but there was no equality as servants were a much lower social class than their employers. Anna would have left her job as a lady's maid when she got pregnant as it would have looked unseemly to be pregnant and working as a servant and its unlikely she would have returned to work as married women with children generally stayed at home. Servants lives were hard and not as portrayed in period dramas.

    I just feel as time goes on. They will be in their 60s in the 50s and 70s and in the 1960s. These two will be friend in every way not employer and servant. It was changing during those times. They would be actually best friends like sisters doing so much together. Anna would be so easy going like usual but I think Mary would be more appreicative probably saying she rather be with Anna that certain other people like herself and it would be just fine in those days.

      Or maybe Anna is just a better person than entitled, privileged and self-victimising Edith who btw is the family member who treats her inferiors the worst (having affairs with farmers, using them to raise her kid, destroying their marriages) and was disgusted and racist about Rose's back boyfriend. Mary was the only one not playing along with Edith's poor-me attitude. Mary also had to endure Edith being jealous of her since childhood. Anna, despite being poor and hard-working, never whined about her lot in life and was always a trooper - and Mary admired her for it.
