To prove I am aware of the existence of ones other than those from Downton Abbey.
1. Carson/Hughes.
It's the butler/housekeeper thing; people in those jobs are made to match, it's the nature of them. Plus the fact that these two refuse to admit it when it's staring them in the face.
"Mr Carson, Lady Mary Crawley does not deserve you."
*disbelieving smile*
2. Miss Maudie/Atticus.
I think it's probably the way these two wind each other up. I wish they did it more in the film, like it is in the book. I enjoyed shocking my English teacher with my theories.
"Atticus, you are a devil from hell."
3. Kenton/Stevens.
Very like Carson/Hughes only more hopeless. You'd wait forever for Stevens to admit he has feelings never mind talk about them.
"I think of what kind of a life I might have had with you, Mr Stevens."
4. Ruth/Harry.
My first ship. They broke my heart when I was eleven. It made my life when I found out she was coming back. We just have to wait for them to get a move on now.
"Something wonderful that was never said."
5. Isobel/Sir Anthony.
There are no quotes for these two, primarily because I've made them up. I'm not sure they ever even appear on screen together. But what the heck. I might lay a claim to having more imagination than Julian Fellows here. If I may insert one of my own:
"Lord Strallan has come a-wooing."
6. Lovejoy/Lady Jane.
Because they're hilarious. And cut out for each other, though they never actually get round to it. And he unintentionally says very cute things about her:
"Hard-headed lot, the aristocracy."
7. Mr Beebe/Charlotte Bartlett.
Again, one I made up when I was being particularly silly. Just think of her reaction to it.
