My dear, my dear, it is not so dreadful here by oltha_heri - You reach out a hand, slowly oh so slowly you inch closer to the porcelain skin of her wrist, and then dark eyes are fixed on you.

with grace in all she offers by dollsome - You are Lady Mary Crawley. Cold and careful, soulless and heartless. Selfish. Thorn-sharp to those who would stand in your way.

throw over your man, i say, and come by screamlet - "Lavinia, what about London?" Matthew asks as he clasps my hands.

it's you season by dollsome - "It's tradition," Mary says. "It's barbaric," Lavinia says.

Scandals Bear No Meaning by femme_slash_fan (crossover with Upstairs/Downstairs) - The fact that Agnes Holland had stood by her good friend and, for the moment, only company at home, had meant a lot to Blanche Mottershead.

The Truth Will Out by femme_slash_fan - Lavinia had come to Mary’s side when she called, gently taking her hand, feeling the girl’s trembles and gently squeezing her hand.

Scandals Bear No Meaning.
By Ros Sawyer.

The fact that Agnes Holland had stood by her good friend and, for the moment, only company at home, had meant a lot to Blanche Mottershead. She had been stunned by how quickly she had been cut from society. She had wondered if she’d ever see any other friends, if she even had any.

Her answer had come soon enough. Cora Crawley, one of Agnes’ more discreet family friends, had sent her daughter and her… companion, Mary and Lavinia, to visit.

Agnes had excused herself soon enough, leaving Blanche to have a little more personal time with the girls. Blanche had found herself flattered by how kindly Lavinia treated her and how genuinely happy Mary seemed to be to have met someone who understood what she was struggling to come to terms with.

Lavinia had smiled softly, glad to see Mary so confident and relaxed. Both Blanche and Agnes had been happy to see the girls getting along so well, even if Agnes had seemed a little quiet.

Mary had solved the problem somewhat daintily, inviting Cora down to join them, sensing that Agnes was perhaps feeling a little lonely.

The group had stayed together for a long time, long enough for Cora’s husband to relax and for it to be safe enough for Mary and Lavinia to go home.

Oh yay! Lavinia as Mary's "companion." That is how I see them forever now. :)
