Dutton Manor has three daughters, but no son to inherit the family business. The original cousin of the heir did not stay in the UK and fell in love with the eldest daughter to prepare for marriage, but went abroad to board the Titanic. The cruise ship can't come back once it's gone, so the right of inheritance falls on the head of another cousin, Matthew. The eldest daughter, Mary, refuses to be a pro-ambassador. She must marry for love. She is very mean to Matthew, but Matthew falls in love with this eldest lady.
This kind of story is quite Austen's style, but Austen's eyes, like the upper class at that time, only fell on people with equal backgrounds and backgrounds. For them, servants are the set board. Two hundred years have passed, and the editor's eyes have long been seen from the top down. From "Gosford Manor", the master upstairs and the servant downstairs have been inextricably linked, and even a murder case occurred. In the previous manor stories, the servants had no emotions, no life, and no private time. Here, the role of the servant is as much as the role of the master. Some people want to be the first valet, some want to be a female secretary, their ideals and pursuits are reflected in their world.
Intrigue between servants, rivalry between sisters, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law usually form a united front against Maimang at critical moments, and the male master seems to be too good. He is a good and considerate husband to his wife, a good father to his daughter, a good heir to his mother, a good heir who can let go of his authority, a good elder who can be an example to the heir, a reasonable master to his servants, and a qualified man to the manor. The caretaker, a kind landlord to the tenant, was a moral role model.
Such a manor is the era of nostalgia in Gone with the Wind, and a good family like Darcy in Austen's writings, so perfect is a little doubtful. That's why Professor McGonagall's old lady is so cute and sly. After she heard that someone was spreading the scandal about the eldest granddaughter, she said what could be done? You can't always kill him. Is murder a crime?
All seven episodes of the first season of "Dalton Abbey" have been completed, and new stories will be staged next year.
