Though we may not be completely on board with the marriage between Lady Mary and Henry Talbot, it was nice to see a brief moment showing him with Mary’s son, George. Perhaps this will offer us a little more of the Talbot we’d been hoping to see throughout series 6, the one that everyone was telling us was this inevitable, all-consuming love of Mary’s life. Certainly, we can’t expect to spend prolonged time with the couple, but this more intimate look at the character — and his parallel struggles with grief over the loss of his racing partner, Charlie — may go a long way with aiding our acceptance of his relationship with Mary.

Really enjoyed watching HENRY in this clip. Made me LOL LOL LOL !!

HENRY TALBOT is either very naughty, OR just naturally talkative, OR maybe, he just has ADHD and can’t keep still.

During the wedding processional, he chatted with Branson (while everyone was quiet). Then he watched GEORGE, SYBBIE, and MARIGOLD walk by (while all eyes were on the bride and groom). And when The Reverend Travis was initiating the ceremony, he proceeded to FLIRT with his wonderful wife MARY.... LOL

HENRY, Behave yourself!!  :)

But I’m glad you’re misbehavin’ !! ;)

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

MARY and HENRY actually had 2 kissing scenes on New Year’s Eve...

Before rejoining LADY MARY in this promenade, HENRY turns and glances back, appearing to check if the children were still behind them. Then he looks lovingly at MARY, as if to reassure her that GEORGE is okay.  I found this simple gesture to be so poignant, and says a lot about the kind of man HENRY is. And despite HENRY still being in the dumps about Charlie’s death, and MARY being aware of it, the couple looks every bit the picture of serenity, perfectly content to be in each other’s company......

One day, when we visit the Beamish Motor and Cycle Works showroom, the only things that will cross my mind would be these silly faces, and their excitement over the ‘new baby’ and the ‘new business’......

Some scenes that were apparently filmed, but somehow got cut in the Christmas Special. @Rosalyn51 said these might show up in the US because PBS does not have commercials. Keeping fingers crossed:

Lady Mary decorating the Christmas tree with Cora and Rosamund

Lady Mary, with that Japanese parasol, taking a walk with Henry

Henry, performing eye sex on Lady Mary, just before leaving for London

Henry, arriving back from London - need to hear their conversation

Mary & Anna when her waters broke, and Henry telling bates to come upstairs

a parallel gif of Mary getting off the train whilst in labour with Anna, and Mary helping Anna as her waters broke. - It’s all about the parallels...
