Seth, you asked what will become of Downton if Matthew?s baby-making machinery really is broken. That was my first thought on hearing the news (what can I say, my heart is cold), but no one in the show seems to share our concern. I understand that they?re horribly upset about poor Mathew?s injuries, about William?s death, and about man?s inhumanity to man as displayed on Flanders? fields ? but it seems downright perverse not to acknowledge any consideration of the future of the estate, since it concerns their patrimony and the servants? and farmers? livelihoods. Perhaps Dr. Clarkson told Lord Grantham about Matthew?s spinal problem so that his lordship could fret about the problem of an impotent heir, but would Lord G. really keep his thoughts to himself? For a man of his station?hell, for an Englishman of any stripe?he seems quite willing to share his worries with family members and even with trusted servants, but I don?t remember him saying anything about this.
