Downton Countdown III

Two episodes left.  I wanted to post this as a possibility before the scriptwriters prove me wrong.

Lady Mary still wishes to wed

A rich bloke who is properly bred

I may not be right

But I think one night

Tom Branson may be in her bed.

And why would I think this?  One reason is that Tom Branson treats her like a person, not a trophy to be won.  Another is, who’s left  now that Mary has blown off another ardent admirer?

When Mary has any trouble or care

Tom Branson is always right there

He treats her well

And sees through her shell

And protects the estate for her heir.

I know I’ve gone out on a limb

Of all possible suitors, why him?

There must be a reason

He came back this season

And her prospects elsewhere are now slim.
