    Summary

    The Second World War has just ended, but not much has changed for Thomas. His efforts to be kinder have paid off, of course, and he's made acquaintances, is on friendly terms with his staff. It's not the same gnawing loneliness he had once felt, but it was still there, lingering in the background of his otherwise content life. He's glad, then, when an unexpected visitor stops by Downton for a visit, and brings a friend along with him.

    A very, very handsome friend.

    Summary

    Thomas would be the first to agree that he has deserved a lot of the things that have happened to him over the course of his life, but he's not sure he has deserved this.
    -----------------------------
    It's late 1927, and some unexpected new residents move into the basement of Downton Abbey. The Downton butler - who has lately had trouble focussing on his work for quite different reasons - needs a bit of help to figure out how to handle the situation.
