dafan60 replied to your post: I want to disinfect everyone ...

yeah, really gross. Thanks so much, Milwaukee. Really appreciate that.

I know! But Chicago isn't much better either. The Chicago River is one of the worst polluted waterways in the country. If I accidentally dropped my sunglasses in there, it would probably corrode away in a matter of days. Let's also not forget all the bodies mobsters used to dump into the Chicago River/Lake Michigan when Capone still ran Chicago.

And all that crap gets drained into Lake Michigan.

Bonus post for dafan60, who I realised had prompted me through reblogging a post: "what really happened in S1 when Anna and Bates were left alone in the house before Carson’s old partner showed up? 'Alone at last'"

I decided to simply continue that scene. Hope you don't mind.

Not long at all, but under a "read more" just because.

“So, you see to the girls, and you’re supposed to be head housemaid. You should put in for a raise.”

“What do you mean, supposed to be?” she giggled, and he couldn’t help but chuckle too. There was something about her eyes that intrigued him. They sparkled beautifully when she laughed, he couldn’t help but notice. He watched her return to her work for a moment, her eyes focusing on whatever it was that she was doing, and he turned to his own, pretending to think about the best way of cleaning it. Soon, however, he couldn’t stop himself from breaking the silence.

“I mean it,” he said quietly. “You really do work hard. Much harder than the rest of us. I wonder how you manage it sometimes. You must be exhausted at the end of the day.”

Anna set down her work, turning to face him. “I suppose I am, sometimes. It can be a challenge, I don’t mind admitting it. Especially with the girls. They’re all so demanding. Lady Sybil is usually quite content, but Lady Mary and Lady Edith can be quite a pair.”

John nodded. He could well imagine that they were. Although he had never had any dealings with them, from the talk of the others, it was easy to gather that they were much more obnoxious than the youngest Crawley daughter. He shuddered to just think about how difficult it must be to look after all three of them.

“I really admire your patience,” he told her. “You’re truly a credit to yourself.”

Was it his imagination, or was she blushing a little? “Why, thank you, Mr. Bates. That’s very kind of you to say. And I admire you just as much.”

“Me?” he chuckled. “Why would you admire me?”

“For the way you conduct yourself, of course,” she answered immediately. “The way that you don’t retaliate with Thomas and Miss O’Brien. The way that you just get on with your work. The way that you put up with so much rubbish from everyone, and you never once complain about it.”

“Well, not everyone is bad,” he said. “You’re certainly not.”

There was no mistaking the blush this time, and he felt his heart flutter a little. “You flatter me, Mr. Bates. I just don’t like to see people get treated badly when they deserve so much more.”

“I’m not sure that I do,” he said lightly, but cut that thought off quickly when he saw the flicker of curiosity over her features. “In any case, you’re a very good friend.”

“I’ll always be your friend, Mr. Bates.” Was there a little disappointment in her tone? John really couldn’t say. Just then, however, the bell for the front door tinkled, and John and Anna looked away from each other.

“You’d better answer that,” said Anna. “Mr. Carson wouldn’t like a maid opening the front door.”

John nodded, then rose. At the door to the servant’s hall, he glanced back into the room.

“I’ve never had a friend like you,” he told her sincerely, his eyes warm. “I’d be very happy indeed if we can remain friends like this.”

He left her then, and she laid her work down on the table, her ears burning.

If only he knew.

Exactly. I come on here for the things I love, not to see hate. And it may only be in the tags, but I get enjoyment out of reading other people's tags, so it's not like I just skim past them, you know?

  dafan60 said: Run Roh…. Guess I should check my followers…

I didn't even realise that I wasn't following you until now. Oops. I shall do so now.

  handy-for-the-bus said: Oh my! Now I’m curious.

I'll fill you in through messages, because I don't want to name and shame.
