"A New Year's shag," Richard says, grinning. "Welcome in the New Year proper." Thomas grins back at him, immediately on board. Then Richard's expression turns into a tipsy smirk.

Summary
The Ellis family has long since moved out of York, and so Richard decides his evening off would best be spent assisting the Downton servants in staging a coup against his own colleagues.

Summary
Thomas's hands are shaking so badly that he's struggling to read what he's holding. He places it in front of himself on the desk and smooths it out repetitively, as if the mild creases were the problem.
He starts again from the top and once he's got to the end, he reaches for a sheet of paper, but he doesn't pen a reply. He writes to Richard.

Summary
"Are you sure about this?" Thomas asks, brow furrowed, looking over at Richard from the other side of their now cluttered living room. Sat at their dining table, surrounded by half filled cardboard boxes, piles of newspaper, and furniture marked with painters tape. Green for things to keep, blue for things to donate, and red for stuff that can just be thrown away.
They had been wanting to give their flat a spring clean, and Thomas supposes moving halfway across the country is a good excuse as any.
