It was now time for dinner with Matthew, Isobel, Julia and Jack.  Margaret is sitting next to Robert and Violet and Helena next to Cora and Edith.   

"Have you been able to explore the village?"  Robert asks Isobel.  

Isobel nods "Indeed i have and i thought the hospital a great credit to your father's memory.  But i'm afraid the good doctor and i did not see eye to eye."

Violet chuckles and turns to look at isobel "Oh, you amaze me."  

Isobel sighes "He's treating one of your tenants, John Drake for dropsy but seems reluctant to embrace some of the newer treatments." 

Robert shakes his head "Oh, Drake is a good man and far too young to die but i suppose the doctor knows his business." 

"Not as well as Mrs Crawley apparently."  Violet mutters which makes Margaret chuckle.  

Cora turns to  look at Jack "Mr. Jones.  We have not asked you this but where are you and your family from?"   Julia this was the moment that she had dreaded.  

Jack smiles "We're from Manchester"  

Cora smiles "How wonderful.  Do you think we have met them?"

Jack smiles and shakes my head "No, my lady.  I don't think you met a lot of florists in your circuits." 

Robert, Cora, Violet, Edith, Mary and Margaret all looked at him shocked.  

Robert looks at him "You're from the working class?"

Jack  nods "Yes. My parents has their own flower shop." 

Isobel nods "It's correct, it's the best in Manchester" 

Cora smiles and looks at him "I don't wanna seem rude but you're both from different classes so i'm wondering how did you meet?"

Jack smiles and takes a hold of Julia's hand "It's actually a beautiful story actually.  It was 2 years ago i was working in my parent's shop helping my mother with the flowers when i saw the  most beautiful girl i had ever seen.  She was breathtaking but i knew she was out of my league but she came up to me and we started talking and just remember laugh and how i didn't wanna go a day without hearing that laugh.  But then she left and i thought i would never see her again but the next day she came in and it was the same routine for two weeks until Julia asked me out for a coffe and it's been us ever since." 

Julia smiles "I know we're not the couple people would predict.  I'm from the upper middle-class and Jack is from the working class.  But i have neve loved anyone as much as i love him.  He's the love of my life and i can't wait to marry him" 

Jack looks at her and smiles.  He kisses her hand.  

Cora smiles "That's beautiful"  

Julia could tell that especially Robert and Violet wasn't comfortable.
