Everyone is having fun and ofcourse it's Mary who has to be a spoilsport. I really liked it :)

[thesinginggirl]

Glad you liked :) It made me laugh when the prompt first appeared. Yay for doing the robot eight years before the word will be invented!

LMAO.

I actually love you.

I really do. I can't believe you actually went and wrote this. I am so glad my prompt got such epic treatment.

I love that Violet got involved too.

THE MENTAL IMAGES.

Well, I love you too, Mum. :P

I wasn't going to write it until dearest Papa said "please". And then I stopped researching existentialism (which I still do not get) for interviews and started writing mad dance fests at Downton instead. Much more fun.

As for mental images, I have spontaneously burst out laughing several times today thinking of Violet doing the robot. My sister is starting to think that I've drawn something on her face...

See you at dinner!

I STILL LOVE IT. I can't even be bothered to log out out my Robert journal, it's just too good. I cracked up at it. Like "Lady Grantham" said, THE MENTAL IMAGES! It's so brilliant.

Why can't they be doing the automaton?

[thesinginggirl]

Good thought, seeing as the word 'robot' would only be invented by a Czech playwright in 1920, but the prompt specified that Cora was doing the robot. But yeah, good thought.

Twas just being silly - thought it was in keeping with the delightful spirit of the fic. :-)
