Who is carlisle on downton abbey

Violet, Dowager Countess of Grantham : [dryly] Lawyers are always confident before the verdict. It is only afterwards they share their doubts. Sir Richard Carlisle : Why do we have to serve ourselves at luncheon? They have their feast at lunchtime and we have ours in the evening. Sir Richard Carlisle : But why can't they eat earlier and serve us like they usually do? Sir Richard Carlisle : It's not how we'll do it at Haxby. Relegated to the home front, where all he can do is polish the brass on his uniform, Lord Grantham grows disillusioned with the system that gives him such power but none when and where it really counts.

Meanwhile, Lady Grantham throws herself first into the conversion of Downton into a convalescent hospital for wounded soldiers, then into the relationship woes of her eldest daughter, Mary.

Now their main concern is the well-being of not one, not two, but three scandal-plagued members of their household, to which Lord Grantham has proven surprisingly, endearingly understanding.

Class and cash have come between them, with Mary seeing Matthew as an interloper and Matthew suspicious that Mary only wants him for his soon-to-be money.

To make matters worse, her father had found an heir for her family home and she felt quite displaced. She tells her mother that she knows her father will not fight for her. Though inheriting the money would mean that Matthew could save Downton, he now wanted to take the moral road.

He also refused to read Swire's letter, which actually relieved Matthew from all guilt. When Mary read the letter to Matthew, he shockingly accused Mary of having forged it since she wanted to save Downton so badly. Mary was made to feel terribly insecure about her unsavory experience with Pamuk. Mary was quite hard on herself and had made peace with the fact that she could be ruined in the eyes of society and lose her prospects.

Mary was treated despicably by Sir Richard Carlisle , who practically blackmailed her into an engagement.
