Dining at Downton: Traditions of the Table From The Unofficial

Dining at Downton: Traditions of the Table From The Unofficial Guide to Downton Abbey (Downton Life Series)
You're invited...

You're curled up on the sofa, reading happily as you bask in the late morning sunshine.Â

The door to the drawing room opens, and in walks the family butler, James. He carries silver tray, bearing a large sealed envelope.Â

"An invitation from Downton Abbey M'Lady"Â

He sets the tray down on the table and you immediately recognize the Grantham seal.Â

An invitation to dine with the Crawleys.Â

Your heart is racing, but you don't let your excitement show; you're much too refined for that!Â

"Thank you, James. That will be all."Â

The moment he leaves the room, you tear the envelope open.Â

The card is dated 13th July 1924. Dinner is at 8PM, naturally, and there's no way you won't be there. You knew you were going before you even read the details!Â

You're eager to see for yourself if all the stories you have heard about the grandeur of Downton life are true!Â

You close your book and hurriedly write a reply. The rest of the day is to be spent on preparation!Â

What should you wear? Should you get your hair done?Â

What will they be talking about at dinner? What if the conversation comes round to something you nothing about?!Â

And what about table etiquette?Â
