The story so far
Everything you need before watchingAt a French villa dinner, the marquise does not hide her hurt. The Crawleys have inherited the house, and she watches them as if they are already measuring the curtains. Her son tries to smooth things over; Robert mentions a lawyer in a few days. Then Edith talks magazines, summer hotels, and asks to publish photographs of the villa. The courtesy is real, but so is the claim underneath.
