Matthew Accuses Mary Of Being a LIAR | Downton Abbey 

Agreed! I let my Wife Win almost every debate!... That wouldnt happen if I didnt LOVE HER and knew She RESPECTED and LOVED Me!

Never marry into Downton, you'll lose yoir inheritance

A nice wrap up of how the British aristocracy were able to maintain their lavish lifestyles for so long.

Watch RU-vid video about Dollar Princesses....Cora was one. Very interesting. Rich Americans married their daughters to English nobility ....the English needed the money.

@@shellymedley6795 Million Dollar Princesses is such a great series! I second the recommendation. The series aired on Smithsonian Channel and is hosted by the woman who plays Lady Grantham for those interested.

Pit. In. The. Earth.

It's that posh tot. Gives a man airs.

You are right.

In which scene? There's like 12?

When he first arrived he was not keen on being a aristocrat of any kind, forced also to be married off kind of like women just the same. He was never a bad man. Why do you all act like he was terrible.

@@WitchKing-Of-Angmar no one does!

I totally agree. But they managed it as well as as they could.

Exactly how I felt!!

She’s wearing makeup here. Still a beauty though, I agree.

Dockery isn't necessarily that good looking. The actresses playing the other two Crawley sisters are arguably prettier. It's Mary Crawley's personality that really makes her attractive.

To each his own, but kissing her would be like kissing a mannequin. The Stiff.

She really did lol

She was the revelation. Downton upstairs owe her big time.

Watchu talkin bout? Daisy saved Mary, Daisy didn't nearly ruin her!

Jonathan Reyes She witnessed Mr. Pamuk being carried down the hall from Mary’s room in 1912 and later was pressured into telling lady Edith.

@Vishwas Singh - Daisy was the best.

​@@sneakymia1 You make some good points which I agree with except for one--Matthew was not happier with Lavinia.

Exactly. Julian Fellowes must be admired for being thrown a monkey wrench with both Sybil and Matthew gone, but to his credit, he made Seasons 4-6 compelling enough to watch to the very end. But -- and it's a big but -- Downton Abbey was never the same and seemed to lose its soul with the death of Matthew, to me, the greatest loss of the show as he was not only the heir, but its moral compass. And I don't want to hear that he wasn't a good man because of Lavinia. Matthew was human -- he did love Lavinia, but was "in" love with Mary. Nevertheless, he was always going to do the right thing and marry Lavinia. And that's why Fellowes had to kill Lavinia off -- to free Matthew to finally be with Mary. But when he died, something very palpable was missing for the remainder of the series. A testament to Dan Stevens and how be brought to life the beloved character of Matthew Crawley.

Oh please.

@@shivapejman8155 oh please yourself 🤷‍♀️

Exactly

I echo shiva, oh please. This allowed Matthew and later Mary to be equals in running the estate which saved the estate and the family and their entire futures. Even if Robert hadn’t lost all his money he’d have eventually lost the estate if this hadn’t happened like most aristocratic men at the time he wouldn’t have been able to modernize without Matthew, mary and Branson.

Because the show couldn’t continue if they had to sell. That’s the reason. But yes, Matthew was bullied by his spoiled b*tch of a wife to do something he thought was morally wrong because his Father in Law was a moron who wasn’t smart enough to run a post office let alone a county.

Agree; Dan Stevens seems at his handsomest when wearing dark colors, such as during that scene with Robert. I guess deeper shades are most flattering to his skin tone.

Matthew Became Robert with Bransen sprinkled over his Blonde crown!...Lol that's my observation (Before the TRAGEDY)

@@jm1657 More to do with his weight fluctuation over the three seasons. When he first kisses Mary when eating a sandwich (after rescuing Sybil from the crowd), he is stunning. Always a handsome man, there are definitely scenes where he really, really is outrageously attractive. And the proposal in the snow, is surely one of them....

So true. I never thought about that before! 👍🏻

Symmetry!!!

dead MAN

To be fair, his father was the one that ran it into the ground first. He was still alive when Robert married Cora and he was the one that tied up her money with the estate. But Robert would've ruined it after this if Matthew hadn't been co-owner (he mentions investing into a man named Ponzi in a later episode).

@@yadira2j "Why can't we invest in these shemes that promise massive returns. What the name of that American investor. A Mr Charles Ponzi"- *O_O*

When Cora married into the family, the economy had recently changed radically. They needed the infusion of cash to stay afloat while they figured out what to do with all of their lands and holdings.

It isn't always or usually mismanagement of funds that cause this. It is SO expensive to run an estate and especially of this size, that there is just not enough to cover. Less interest, more expenses, can ruin it all. He did make a sketchy investment that he thought was right...you can't always know what will tank. Until you have run an estate...it is very to say what will happen. Please consider this.

I actually really dislike this whole arc. Reggie's letter should have been enough. But heaven forbid Matthew get over himself and listen to Reggie's words. Nope, Mary must have faked the letter or someone else must have faked it there's no way that Reggie would do this. Ugh lol

@@iloveyourunclebob To be fair, Mary was been too tuborn and was too anxious for a money it wasn´t hers. Greed is not a beautiful thing in a spouse.

I cackled

yeah, this all reeks of plot armour

@@vilwarin5635 i ould see where she's coming from. They're losing their family home.

Probably somewhere around 20 thousand if not more. Back then that would be like having millions or more.

It was 1 Million pounds.

@@elisecooper1942 Yeah, I feel like it was around a million pounds, which for the house was adequate to save it while cutting back. Whereas Robert probably lost 2-4 million pounds in his investment, the family never seemed as rich as it did before Robert lost Cora's inheritance.

@@cagegrrl I’m pretty sure I read that Coras money would’ve been worth about $1 billion now so I think it was a lot more than 20,000.

😂😂😂

HAHAH Genious comment

This is it. *The* comment. Turn off the comment section.

Made my day. Thx for the laugh 😂

I’m surprised it wasn’t forge by Mary

You'll Love 💓the #DowntonAbbeyMovie. I've seen it 2x and want to see it a 3rd time IF possible. #FortheLoveofDownton

@@m.layfette6249 What is with the show that makes us want to watch it over and over and over again. I'm on my yearly binge of it and I can listen to the show like a book on tape because I've seen it so many times. I just occasionally look down to see what room they are sitting in.

@@iloveyourunclebob OMG! OMG! OMG! I am Oh So Delighted to know that I'm NOT the Only #FanCrazy4Downton !!! I too have Binged Watched the show like 10,000x since it aired and most of time it's playing in the background while Cooking dinner or washing clothes or getting ready for my day. I can quote the script word for word. But when the Dowager speaks, I have to Watch and Listen. ☺️

@@m.layfette6249 In the words of Wilkins to O'Brien, "but then you and I would think alike, wouldn't we? It's a treat to have a kindred spirit come and stay."

@@iloveyourunclebob In an exchange between Lady Grantham and the Dowager from Season 1..."Are we to be friends then?" "We're allies dear, which can be a Great deal more effective."

That is why they are rich and you are poor. Hahahahaha.

And Rose was Messy!.....Poor Sybil!

This is how many spoiled people are like.

Investments into companies generally come with shares which, if the company is successful, give returns. Robert foolishly invested practically all of the money into shares in a rail company that went belly up, which meant any income he was banking on the company to eventually return on his investment, any money that would have been going into Downton, disappeared. He didn't go and invest every last penny into the rail company, he kept enough back to keep Downton running for a while, but not indefinitely, and when the company went belly up he knew that was it. They were sitting on a draining tap with no more money coming in, so they knew they would need to move to keep the lifestyle, because at the end of the day, the money needed to fund their lifestyle is pennies compared to the money needed to maintain the estate.

Only Lady Mary would _never_ have said 'must of'. It's must _have_ . Should have. Would have. Could have. Must have.

@@MaggieTheCat01 thank you! it´s a pet peeve of mine :-D I must hold myself to not respond to all the comments like this

@@therra1101 It’s difficult to hold one’s tongue, and sometimes I fail. 😁

I think for him to even accuse her of making up the letter is unforgivable. He is in effect accusing her of being a liar and a fraud. It also shows that he doesn’t really trust her. I would be beyond furious if my husband ever did something like that. That’s such an insult to her.

@@l.a.3479 Thank you. I will correct it. My fingers miss the correct lett rs.

So is the Dowager

Matthew Crawley -- as written by Julian Fellowes -- was one-in-a-million, literally. He was noble, kind, highly intelligent and a gorgeous man. Flaws, of course, but nobody is perfect. But he surely came close to it on every level.

he ruined the show for most

@@AlexS-oj8qf well... most didn't give the show a chance

@@marquisdehoto1638 well can you blame them, two of the most darling characters leave the show in a season.

The show was better after he left.

They hate him so much it's pretty much comical at this point haha.

Dan Stevens is a very fine but terribly underrated actor. While most think this part required little acting, the truth is that Dan is nothing like the posh Matthew -- and THAT is acting.

To be followed by Downton Tiny Home, to be followed by The Crawleys in a Class B campervan!

​@@dsquared1950 🤣🤣🤣

Sir, this is a tv-series.

@@danielmacnaughton9580. Wakey wakey, Daniel. This is a movie made due to the success of the TV series.

@@gsd4me00 you're not talking about the movie though. You were referencing the show. This clip is from the show, not the movie.

David Hunn wakey wakey David. This has Matthew in it. He died well prior to the movie.

@@gsd4me00 If you're going to act smug, at least be right

thats why she got where she wanted and ppl like u stay broke

I would think it was a hangover from the Victorian Era decorating as much of the house has Victorian touches even though the series begins during the Edwardian Era. The color is called Sheele's green.

@@sharonreeves9093 Actually a simple Google search turns up the answer: Amber Grey from Myland Paints, who provided all the paints for the series. But it’s uber expensive, as the finish has crushed marble in it.

Su amazon prime video

Everywere

Very good. I think you should be a writer yourself. 👍

If Daisy wasn't so dim witted in the early seasons I would believe that bit she would never have been able to keep up the lie.

😅

🤣 DOWNTON Abbey

She’s well trained

Ridiculous. I’d take the money and help my loved ones

You mean how modern day folks imagine people acting back then since this is all historical fiction

@@thewrongshoes fiction mirrors the real life, else it becomes unrelateable

Ah, not everyone would react like this. Matthew Crawley was written by Julian Fellowes to be this incredibly noble and decent man -- and Dan Stevens brought Matthew Crawley to life -- perfectly.

I thought their relationship seemed forced. I never understood what Matthew saw in her. When George was born he speaks of Mary as this incredibly kind, compassionate person. But I don’t ever recall her being anything similar to that.

@@HappyStars234 That's because you this moronic filter that makes you only see red for Mary, its not all black and white you know. Each to their own though.

She wasn't horrible, selfish or calculating. She was cold, but none of the others, except she was horrible to Edith, equally, Edith was horrible to her, and many other people too. You should maybe rewatch the show. She wasn't overdoing it, she was asking Matthew to take the money and use it for good, in her mind, Matthew should save her family, and that was how she was brought up.

L̶a̶d̶y̶ Fox Ŵøłfæ true dat

L̶a̶d̶y̶ Fox Ŵøłfæ Honestly people can’t understand the context of scenes just because they don’t like Mary. Whether or not you like her, what there saying about this scene doesn’t make any sense.

David Goss 🥰🥰🥰

Hope you gave some to charity.

@@iggybarrato9009 Why?

It's not hard to be "Holier than Thou" when the "Thou" is Mary Crawley.

I hated that Mary and Thomas got happy endings. They didn't deserve them at all!

L-a-v-i-n-i-a

I admit that I would take the money to save my family. But I would feel really bad to accept my late fiancée’s money if I cheated on her.

@@craigarkensaw I would find a way to live with a million pounds.

I know. I was literally like Mary has barely lied in the show. Tho it would be really fun to him call her liar for some reason very entertaining

Except that Mathew's story was the best part of the show

@@lxtatar7773 it was a good part of the storyline I agree , but his departure gave Mary so much grief ... which was a great part of the show and then all her suitors so LOL I'm still glad that bitter man was out of it
