Does anyone recall seeing a preview where Robert throws his napkin on the dining room table and really angry and yells "leave this house and never come back" about something, but what??? Is it about Mary? or is it Edith? or ???
He can't order Mary out because she owns half the estate.
Which means he can't order anyone out without Mary's agreement, although I doubt he remembers that in the heat of the moment.
There were two things from the last episode that stuck with me. The words "hater's" and "fad" were likely not part of the vocabulary at that time. Julian Fellowes. please respond.

Word Origin and History for fad
n. 1834, "hobby, pet project;" 1881 as "fashion, craze," perhaps shortened from fiddle-faddle. Or perhaps from French fadaise "trifle, nonsense," ultimately from Latin fatuus "stupid."
Quote:
n. Old English hete "hatred, spite," from Proto-Germanic *hatis- (cf. Old Norse hattr, Old Frisian hat, Dutch haat, Old High German has, German Hass, Gothic hatis; see hate (v.)). Altered in Middle English to conform with the verb.
I've noticed a word or two in the program that I thought wouldn't have been used at the time but then I realize that if the dialogue were entirely 'Edwardian', then we'd think they were a bunch of 'fuddy-duddies'... or simply the show would be a 'dud'.
I'm with you on "haters" -- although it might be in literature going back a ways, I really don't remember it being used in common conversation much more than the past 10 years! Sounds very modern to me.
