Summary
“I thought you might like this to keep you company,” Richard says softly.
Sure, Thomas has mentioned before that, after the constant hustle and bustle and company of living at Downton for decades, he does sometimes feel lonely when Richard goes out to volunteer at the charity shop. And yes, animals are known to be good for keeping people company.
The kitten sleeps away in Richard’s arms, oblivious to Thomas’ dilemma.

Summary
Richard,
I’m sorry to have to write to you, but I have bad news. His lordship has made last minute plans to have guests over this Christmas after all. I know I said I’d be able to get the week off, but that was because the family had no plans. His lordship has been very nice about it, he’s said I can have the time later next year, but I won’t be able to visit you in London.
Thomas

Summary
Behind him, the sound of the slamming train doors reminds him that he’s made his decision. The train is leaving the station, and with it, the chance to turn around and go home to Downton. Pretend like this has all been a bad dream, and he can wake up from it by wishing really, really hard.
Instead, he picks up his travelling case, and makes the slow march to his sister’s house.
