[Waking up from being asleep for a year is much like coming out of a coma. It took Mary a few days to feel truly herself again, but now she's back and well and truly confused about what happened to her.

The last that she remembered, she had finally been able to smash the damn harp in her dreams and get some rest from the depression that constantly haunted her for weeks. One night she drifted off and the next thing she knew it was May... a year later. Obviously, much has happened and she wonders why she had to be the one to be put into a magical sleep and miss everything.

She experienced a dream, or what felt like a dream, during her sleep - that she was back at Downton and that she had interacted with her family members, even lived her life there for a year while her body was asleep here. The details of what happened are clear, though remembering it feels like watching everything happen through a veil over her face.

On the locket she appears rested, to say the least. She's bathed, washed her hair, and styled it so that she looks presentable. But there's confusion and a bit of fear in her eyes as she tries to get answers.]


Have I truly been asleep for a year? I fear this could be quite a long conversation, but what have I missed? And was I the only one afforded this privilege of missing out on a year of my life?

There were also a few murders and ominous visions.

[But sometimes at the same time as the parties and festivals.]

I slept through about seventy years the last time. I thought there might be a pattern.

No. [There's amusement in the curve of his lips.] But you got the American part right. Steve Rogers.

Likewise.

I ended up on ice at the bottom of the ocean. I guess that sort of slowed things down.

I think they call it cryostasis. I ended up on ice.

To be honest, a boring life doesn't sound so bad.

Where was home?

Brooklyn, New York. I regret that I never got a chance to go back to England.
