Don?t be too hard on poor Daisy. Her reluctance to go through with the marriage came from a good and honorable place: not wanting to deceive a man she cared for but didn?t love, even if it was his last wish. (Perhaps she?s just too young to know her own mind, though; she and William obviously had a deep connection. She did, after all, feel someone ?walking over her grave? at the moment that William and Matthew fell in battle. So did Mary, of course, which reminded me of the line from Kipling: ?The Colonel?s lady an? Judy O?Grady are sisters under their skins.?) I suspect Daisy was also worried that some strangers would tag her as a benefits cheat if she went through with a death-bed marriage?a crafty housemaid ?out for the widow?s dole,? as that nasty vicar put it. The dowager countess did a magnificent job of reminding the caddish curate that he was in effect on Lord Grantham?s dole?receiving his job, his home, and even the flowers that decorate his church from his lordship?s grace and favor.
