Helena swiftly donned her elegant party dress and busied herself with last-minute preparations as the first guests, the Coombes family, arrived.
The farmhouse came alive with animated conversation as Eddy warmly welcomed them and expressed his gratitude for their presence.
The children eagerly embarked on their own adventures, while the adults engaged in lively exchanges, sharing news and catching up on recent events. Eddy and Daniel found themselves comfortably seated on the couch in the rearranged parlor, while Edith joined Helena in the bustling kitchen.
Seizing the chance to make an impression, Lucile approached Jackson with a beaming smile, her new exquisite dress gracefully adorning her form. She curtsied with a touch of flourish, reintroducing herself in the manner befitting a proper young lady.
As the lively gathering unfolded, it became apparent that the Coombes were not the only guests Eddy had invited to their home for the special occasion. A soft and polite knock on the door caught Silas's attention, and with a spirited enthusiasm fueled by the festive atmosphere, he hurriedly made his way to answer it. With a confident swing, he swung open the door, revealing a woman standing on the threshold.
Edward, hearing the commotion, promptly joined Silas at the entrance, extending a warm invitation to the unexpected guest.
it was Rosella, the woman whom Eddy had encountered years ago during his quest to find Helena's whereabouts. Despite the passage of time, she still possessed a youthful countenance. Her hair was elegantly arranged, and as she removed her glasses, Eddy couldn't help but find her remarkably beautiful.
"Welcome, Ms. Pinkerton," Eddy greeted with a warm smile "I'm mighty pleased you could grace us with your presence. Please, do come in and partake in the merriment."
Rosella gave a respectable bow and smiled warmly. "I am most appreciative of your kind invitation. I must confess, I did not anticipate hearing from you, but I am delighted at the opportunity to reconnect and meet your esteemed family," she expressed, her eyes glancing toward Silas. "This young gentleman here has displayed admirable manners, greeting me and ushering me inside with utmost courtesy."
Rosella commended with a warm smile, "It is truly heartening to encounter young boys who display such initiative, especially in my classroom where many tend to be rather timid. "
Eddy nodded solemnly, "We aim to raise our young'uns properly. " Eddy gestured towards Silas with a proud smile. "This here is my fine young lad, Silas. "
following his father's lead, Silas stepped forward with polite enthusiasm. "Pleased to make your acquaintance, ma'am. How do you do?"
"It's truly a pleasure to meet you, Silas," Rosella responded warmly, her voice exuding intellect and sophistication. "I am Ms. Pinkerton, I had the pleasure of crossing paths with your father some time ago.
Eddy took the lead in the conversation and steered it back to the main purpose. "Well, come along then. Let me introduce you to Mrs. Harrington," he said with a nod, guiding Ms. Pinkerton toward the kitchen.
She offered a gracious smile, "Oh I would be most delighted to finally meet your wife! "
As Silas observed their departure, a wave of excitement surged within him. "She's a teacher!" he mused to himself. "After all my pleas, I reckon Father must've invited her here so I can finally attend school!" The prospect filled his heart with anticipation.

Geek Out Over Christmas Films
Theaters would normally be packed this time of year with folks assembled to watch revered holiday films like “It’s a Wonderful Life,” Frank Capra’s 1946 heart-tugger usually returns to big screens over the holidays, including an annual weeks-long run at the IFC Center in New York.
But with many theaters now dark, fans in search of a more communal experience have been forced to get creative.
Here are some (mostly) digital ways to expand the magic of classic Christmas cinema right.
‘It’s a Wonderful Life’
An annual festival goes virtual at the 10-year-old It’s a Wonderful Life Museum in Seneca Falls, N.Y. This year the museum celebrates the 74th anniversary of this treasured film.
Friday through Dec. 13, there’s a jam-packed calendar of online events. Among the highlights is a series of chats with three actors who played Bailey children: Karolyn Grimes (Zuzu), Carol Coombs Mueller (Janie) and Jimmy Hawkins (Tommy). Jeanine Roose, who portrayed young Violet and is now a psychologist, anchors a discussion called “Having ‘A Wonderful Life’ During the Pandemic.” There’s also an “Auld Lang Syne” singalong and an “It’s a Wonderful Life” watch party on Zoom. (Stream the film on Amazon Prime, but for the love of Christmas, avoid the colorized version.)
Christmas Con
Comic Con but for Christmas: That best describes this fan convention dedicated to all things holiday, with an emphasis on the sweet-as-candy-cane rom-coms that rule Lifetime and the Hallmark Channel.
There will be online meet-and-greets and chats with several popular actors, including Melissa Joan Hart (“Holiday in Handcuffs”) and Joey Lawrence (“Hitched for the Holidays”). Panels will be moderated by Jacklyn Collier and Shawlini Manjunath-Holbrook, the hosts of the Hallmark Channel’s Bubbly Sesh podcast. Kids can schedule a virtual visit with Santa.
Over 9,000 people attended Christmas Con last year, according to Christina Figliolia, a co-owner of Thats4Entertainment, which organized the event. Figliolia said she planned a digital pivot this year after hearing from fans early in the pandemic.
“We had to go virtual. It just means too much to so many people,” she said.
‘A Christmas Story’
This 1983 family comedy about young Ralphie Parker and his frenzied quest for a Red Ryder air rifle is the Christmas movie for many families.
For a more immersive experience, the Christmas Story House and Museum, located in Cleveland’s Tremont neighborhood, offers tours and overnight stays in the house where parts of the film were shot. (Mask requirements and other pandemic protocols are in effect.) Its online gift shop will ship fan merchandise like leg lamps and pink bunny suit pajamas.
The museum’s website also hosts a 24/7 online livestream that gives viewers a bird’s-eye view of the house. When a Cleveland snowstorm hits, the camera offers fans an almost cinematic vista.
‘White Christmas’
This year brings two new ways to enjoy this 1954 musical romantic comedy starring Rosemary Clooney, Bing Crosby, Vera-Ellen and Danny Kaye as a group of entertainers who try to save a failing Vermont inn during World War II.
A new exhibition at the Upcountry History Museum in Greenville, S.C., features original costumes, props and memorabilia from the film, much of it from the permanent collection at the Rosemary Clooney House in Augusta, Ky.
Short videos about the exhibit are on view for free on the museum’s Instagram and YouTube channels. Among the highlights are Edith Head’s shimmering blue dresses she designed for Clooney and Vera-Ellen to wear when they sang the sassy number “Sisters.”
For a big screen experience, head to Chicago, where the Music Box Theater is presenting “White Christmas” (and “It’s a Wonderful Life”) on several dates from Friday through Dec. 24 at the Chi-Town Movies drive-in. Each outdoor showing kicks off with a Christmas carol singalong.

Downton Abbey Character List
This is an updated list through Series 6. The original list is here, although I’ve also been updating own list in a Word Doc since 2013, which is what this is based on. Below are the characters listed in alphabetical order by last name (for the most part). Characters not ever appearing on screen are in italics. For real people mentioned, I’ve only included them if the Crawelys et al. knew them personally (references to real historical figures will be included in a separate list). While I’ve included some family members without names who are mentioned, I have left out minor characters with no names and also animals (if you need that info or have any questions on that, message me). This does include information that is only included in the S1-3 script books.
I hope that the Keep Reading works on mobile, because this list is very long!

With the conclusion of the dinner, the families gracefully dispersed, forming small groups to engage in leisurely conversations and socialize. Helena and Edith sought a quiet corner near the far wall, where they could converse without interruption. Meanwhile, Daniel and Edward found themselves engrossed in a discussion by the furniture on the opposite side of the room.
Rosella, momentarily drawn away, found herself near the archway, engaged in conversation with the inquisitive Silas. Their tête-à-tête appeared to be brimming with curiosity and intellectual musings.
Meanwhile, on the front porch, away from the watchful gaze of the adults, Lucile and Jackson found solace in each other's company.
With a warm and gentle chuckle, Helena expressed her delight, her eyes sparkling with gratitude. "I truly am overjoyed to have you here, dear Edith. I understand that you likely had other plans, but your presence has added such a wonderful touch to our gathering."
Edith nodded in agreement, her expression reflecting a sense of contentment.
"It is indeed a pleasure to be here, Helena," Edith replied, her voice filled with sincerity. "Given the demands of Daniel's work, particularly with the ongoing construction of the railway, our plans to travel and visit family had to be set aside this year. But being able to share this holiday with cherished friends such as yourself and your lovely family is a true blessing. Besides, it gives Daniel a well-deserved respite from his study and the arduous labor he undertakes. He is a diligent worker, and I believe moments like these provide him the much-needed rejuvenation he requires."
Both women shared a knowing glance, acknowledging the dedication and hard work their husbands exhibited.
Helena's voice carried a hint of concern as she delicately broached the subject. "Please pardon my curiosity, dear Edith, but I couldn't help but notice the absence of Josephine. Is she feeling unwell? If so, I would be more than happy to prepare a special dish for her to enjoy later."
Edith's gaze momentarily faltered, her eyes cast downward as she contemplated her response. However, she quickly regained her composure, meeting Helena's eyes with a gracious smile. "Do not fret, my dear friend. Josephine is in good health. It seems that she is simply in need of additional guidance in embracing the ways of a refined lady. Daniel has taken it upon himself to ensure she receives the utmost attention and instruction in this regard."
Edith maintained her strained smile, her concern was evident in her voice. "Josephine possesses a kind heart, but discipline and grace seem to elude her. She departed in search of self-improvement, and we eagerly await her return, rejuvenated and refined."
Helena empathetically nodded, understanding the weight of Edith's worries.
In a lowered voice, Edith leaned closer to Helena,"May I share a private matter with you, dear Helena?" she inquired, her tone hushed yet earnest. Helena, reciprocating the trust, responded in a gentle whisper, "Certainly, Edith, you may confide in me."
Edith's words carried a sense of trepidation as she revealed her concerns. "I cannot help but fret over Josephine's future upon her return. A regrettable incident occurred in the presence of Daniel's esteemed employers, and now I am uncertain of what lies ahead for our dear girl."
Offering reassurance, Helena placed a comforting hand on Edith's arm. Her voice was soft and soothing. "Do not despair, Edith. Josephine possesses beauty, and I have faith that Daniel will navigate her toward a path that will prove beneficial, even if she may not yet see it herself. "
Edith's smile blossomed, reflecting her renewed optimism. "You speak the truth, dear Helena. We shall endeavor to find a suitable path for Josephine's future. There is no need for me to harbor unnecessary worries."

The house resonated with joyous laughter, accompanied by the tantalizing aroma of delectable food and the clinking of glasses. The Harrington family had decided to splurge on a moderately-sized turkey, adorned with freshly harvested vegetables from their very own farm. Helena, with her culinary skills, had prepared two delectable pies: one made from the juicy apples grown on trees behind the house, and another from the bountiful pumpkins cultivated in their garden.
Daniel and Edward engrossed in their conversation, shared tales of their respective work and the remarkable progress in the expanding rail system. Daniel's recent promotion had filled him with unbridled delight, which he eagerly shared with his family.
The children, mindful of their manners, maintained a hushed demeanor, seldom speaking to avoid interrupting their parents' discussions. Jackson, unenthusiastic about the unexpected presence of his teacher at the gathering, concentrated on engaging Silas and Lucile in conversation.
Amidst the lively chatter, Helena occasionally cast discreet glances at Lucile, observing her eating habits and portion sizes. "Hmm… not quite ladylike," Helena contemplated, mentally noting her daughter's table manners.
Although the other guests remained oblivious to Lucile's eating etiquette, Helena regarded it as a concern for the evening.
However, Lucile's attention was not solely captivated by the food.
Despite her naturally reserved nature, she had emerged from her shell, engaging in frequent conversation with Jackson.
Their discreet exchanges and occasional playful nudges beneath the table elicited small bouts of laughter.
Yet, Silas, ever vigilant, noticed every interaction. He couldn't help but feel a twinge of jealousy as his sister seemed to steal his best friend's attention, who he hadn't seen in weeks.
"Jackson was HIS best friend, not hers," Silas brooded, concealing his envy behind a forced smile. His fingers clenched the fabric of his clothing in simmering frustration

Upon arriving at the Coombes abode, Helena was met with a startling surprise.
Instead of a modest middle-class country home, Helena found herself standing before a magnificent estate, adorned with intricate architectural details and sprawling gardens. As she took in the sight, a gardener could be seen silently tending to the bushes outside the front of the house.
Helena quickly regained her composure, not wanting to appear overly intrigued by the grandeur of the house. She stepped forward, gracefully adjusting Silas to be held in one arm, and politely knocked at the door.
After a brief pause, a servant graciously opened the door and addressed Helena with the utmost politeness, "Good evening, ma'am. May I inquire as to the purpose of your visit?"
Helena responded, "I was hoping to see Mrs. Coombes. Would Mr. Coombes be amenable to Edith's company for a leisurely tea?"
The servant graciously opened the door, stepping aside to allow Helena to enter the elegant abode.
" come in for just one moment, Ma'am. "
The servant continued with a courteous tone, "I regret to inform you that Mr. Coombes is presently away on business, and I must adhere to his wishes regarding unannounced visitors. However, if you kindly provide me with your name, I will gladly inform him of your visit upon his return."
Helena's disappointment was palpable as she longed for a meaningful conversation with another woman. "Oh, I see… Please forgive me, but would you happen to know when Mr. Coombes is expected to return?"
"My apologies, ma'am. It would not be proper to discuss Mr. Coombes' business. If you kindly provide me with your name, I will make a note..."
Before the servant could finish his sentence, a joyful exclamation interrupted him from the top of the stairs.
"HELENA!" Edith exclaimed. "It is simply delightful to see you!"

One serene afternoon, Edith fulfilled her promise to visit the Doyle household, accompanied by her husband Daniel, and their two children. The arrival of the Coombes family brought a sense of warmth to the humble abode.
To Helena's pleasant surprise, Edith presented her with a thoughtful housewarming gift. It was an exquisite infant pram, adorned with delicate silk bedding and plush pillows in a pristine shade of white. The attention to detail showcased the Coombes's refined taste and hinted at their middle-class prosperity.
Helena, Edith, and their children gathered in the parlor, finding comfort in each other's company. Meanwhile, Eddy guided Daniel to the sturdy kitchen table, ensuring a private space for their conversation away from the prying ears of the women.
Helena cradled Silas in her arms, carefully transferring him into Edith's waiting embrace. A soft smile graced her lips as she introduced her newborn to her.
Edith's eyes sparkled with delight as she peered down at the bundle in her arms. "Oh, isn't he just the sweetest little thing!" she exclaimed, her voice brimming with joy and affection.
Helena nodded, her own smile widening. "Indeed, he is a lively one, always on the move. Takes after his father." she remarked
Helena carefully lifted Silas from Edith's arms and tenderly settled him into the luxurious pram that adorned the corner of the room. The soft, white bedding cocooned the baby, creating a picture of serenity amidst the flickering glow of the fireplace.
With Silas settled, Helena and Edith, accompanied by Edith's daughter Josephine, gracefully seated themselves on the plush couch, their silhouettes highlighted by the warm, dancing flames.
Meanwhile, Edith's son, Jackson, unable to contain his excitement, began to bob and twirl in a playful dance of his own. His infectious enthusiasm filled the air, joyous energy that seemed to radiate throughout the room.
The two women exchanged knowing glances, their eyes filled with affectionate amusement.
Helena's voice carried a tone of heartfelt gratitude as she spoke, " "Edith, I cannot express my thanks enough. It was a true blessing for you to be by my side that fateful night. My own mother did not have the chance to prepare me for such challenges, but your presence and guidance brought me strength. And this splendid pram you have bestowed upon us, it is a precious gift indeed."
Edith graciously replied, "It is truly no trouble at all, Mrs. Harrington. In fact, I find great comfort in knowing that we have good neighbors like yourselves in this secluded part of the town. As you may know, my husband, Daniel, is often away, fully engrossed in designing and constructing the new railway system that will connect our community to the rest of the world. During those times, I am left to my own devices. "
Helena's eyes were fixed attentively on Edith, her curiosity piqued by the mention of the railway system. In the midst of their pleasant conversation, there was a sudden realization that Edith's daughter, Josephine, had quietly slipped away from the parlor.
Edith's countenance softened, her eyes filled with a mixture of regret and understanding. She gently shook her head, "Please accept my sincerest apologies for Josephine's impoliteness, Mrs. Harrington. You see, she has been rather temperamental lately ever since we commenced her lessons in women's etiquette."
Helena nodded empathetically, a compassionate smile gracing her lips. "I completely understand, Edith. Young girls can have their moods and moments. Josephine and I shall have another opportunity to connect and catch up on one another's company."

With the completion of the farmhouse and the settling into their new home, Helena found herself gradually easing into a state of calmness and tranquility. The chaos and anxiety that had plagued her during the earlier stages of their journey began to subside, making room for a newfound sense of peace. She embraced her pregnancy with open arms, finding joy and contentment in the growing life within her.
Each morning when she traveled out to the backhouse, Helena would stand before the mirror and admire her blossoming baby bump.
One sunny afternoon, there was a knock on the door. Helena, curious to see who it was, opened it to find a warm smile from a woman holding a beautifully wrapped fruit cake. Introducing herself as Edith Coombes, the wife of one of the builders Eddy had hired, she extended her hand in a gesture of friendship. Edith explained that they lived just up the hill, not far from their new home.
Helena's face lit up with delight as she welcomed Edith inside. As they sat in the cozy living room, savoring slices of the homemade fruit cake, they began to share stories and experiences. It was a breath of fresh air for Helena to have another woman to speak to, someone who understood the intricacies of daily life and the joys and challenges that came with it.
Eddy's tired footsteps echoed through the hallway as he made his way toward the living room, As he entered the room, Helena's smile widened, ready to introduce him to Edith and share her excitement. But before she could utter a word, a sudden and unexpected rush of water overcame her, soaking the new couch beneath them.
Helena's eyes widened in shock, and a mixture of panic, embarrassment, and exhilaration flooded the room.
Eddy stood frozen in the archway of the living room, his eyes widening with a mixture of confusion and panic. The sight before him was both unexpected and overwhelming.
But Edith, displaying remarkable composure and understanding, quickly sprang into action. She didn't hesitate to take charge, providing reassurance to Helena and issuing clear instructions to Eddy.
With a commanding tone, Edith swiftly took charge of the situation. She recognized the urgency and knew that Helena needed the assistance of a midwife. Turning her attention to Eddy, she issued clear instructions, her voice firm and determined.
"She'll need a midwife! Run to the infirmary in Finchwick," Edith commanded, her words leaving no room for hesitation. "I'll take good care of her."
As Eddy hurriedly made his way to Finchwick, inside the farmhouse, Edith sprang into action. Determined to provide the best possible care for Helena, she swiftly prepared the bed, ensuring it was clean and comfortable for the impending delivery.
With practiced ease, Edith smoothed the sheets and then quickly tended to the furnace. She added wood and stoked the fire, watching as the flames danced and flickered. Aware of the need for warm water, she fetched a bucket and poured cold water into a pot, placing it atop the furnace.
As Helena was carefully settled onto the bed by Edith, a tinge of embarrassment colored her cheeks.
"I do apologize, Edith. This is certainly not how I envisioned our meeting unfolding. I'm certain Eddy will arrive soon. Please, don't trouble yourself any further on my account."
Edith's gentle voice enveloped the room as she offered words of reassurance to Helena.
"Hush now, dear, and concentrate on your breathing. It seems fate has smiled upon us today with my timely visit. No need to apologize, but I daresay your husband may not have anticipated this moment."

It's getting cold in Henford, and the family must wear layered clothing and gloves inside to keep warm.
Edith is feeling the hardship of motherhood lately! and Jospehine's disobedience has been very persistent.
It seems like as soon as one mess is cleaned up Josephine is already off making another.
Family time consists of lots of time relaxing around the furnace to stay warm and Edith has taken to doing mostly indoor chores again while she works on growing baby number 2!

As the ladies engaged in lively conversation and savored their tea within the pavilion, Silas and Jackson delighted in their newfound camaraderie. Their youthful laughter echoed through the gardens as they gleefully pursued one another, playing an exuberant game of chase amidst the vibrant blooms. Darting behind clusters of blossoming bushes, their innocent game of hide and seek fostered a swift bond between the young boys, solidifying their fast friendship.
After allowing Josephine some time to settle into her seat, Helena discovered that the young girl had a surprisingly social nature. It turned out that Josephine had a deep passion for painting and indulged in the pleasure of reading books. However, any mention of boys or romantic interests was met with a hint of nausea in her eyes.
Helena noticed the unease on Josephine's face as the young girl gazed somberly into her teacup. Edith, ever the optimist, decided to intervene.
"Chin up, Josephine," Edith encouraged, her voice filled with warmth. "This is a joyful topic we're discussing!" She turned to Helena and explained, "Josephine is simply feeling a bit uneasy because Daniel is already scouting potential suitors for her."
Helena's eyebrows shot up in surprise. Josephine couldn't be more than 9 years old. "Already? But she's so young,"
"We're simply planning ahead, my dear. We want Josephine to have a prosperous life. She's currently learning women's etiquette to prepare her for the future. "
Edith took another sip of her tea, " We'll ensure she has the best opportunities, even if she insists on being a spinster."
After the tea came to an end, Josephine graciously expressed her gratitude to Helena for joining them and took her leave. As they walked towards the front of the estate, Edith accompanied Helena.
Helena, with a graceful gesture, curtsied to Edith, conveying her appreciation for the warm hospitality. "I am immensely grateful for your kind invitation and the wisdom you have shared with me," she expressed.
As Silas attempted to wander off, Helena swiftly scooped him up in her arms, ensuring his safety.
"It's truly no trouble at all, dear Helena. Although it would be best to avoid frequent unannounced visits, as Daniel prefers to stay informed about the ongoings in his absence. We want to keep our husbands happy, yes? But worry not, we shall surely meet again in the near future," Edith assured with a reassuring tone.
With a renewed sense of composure, Helena embarked on her journey back home, a newfound determination blossoming within her. She was resolved to embrace her role as a proper wife and make the necessary changes in her domestic life.
