This is a call back to a scene in Downtown Abbey about how people tipped the butler to look around the house and a cause of a great embarrassment

campiest sequence of the series! i love it!

[CarolynForney]

I would have liked to have seen how McAllister got Bertha away from the home without Mrs. Astor knowing.

This was the most enjoyable single scene in the first season. The music is really great.

[bostonblackie]

She got a tour of the house she would never see otherwise!

[embajadoresboy]

Can’t wait for Mrs Russell to built her own castle

There's always a bit of comedy in life. 😁
I like how she spat out a feather 🪶

My problem is that I'm quite familiar with these houses and so when they get played with, I have to laugh. This is the Wetmore estate Chateau-sur-Mer. Just within this series, Mr. Adams talks about staying here with the Wetmores, and the interiors were already used as Mamie Fish's NYC mansion. Surprisingly, Mrs. Astor's Newport "cottage" was not a marble palace but an older 19th century house with an added ballroom (Maybe they couldn't get permission to film from Larry Ellison who now owns it or it was in the middle of being renovated for him.) This scene was quite fun.

Literally I just finished seeing it and I loved it

Mrs. Russel is really a pathetic character. She likes to present herself as one of the grand high society ladies but she lacks the most basic manners ... like you don' t pop uninvited to somebody else's house however much you're curious to peep on their interiors so that you could later copy and/or outmatchthem. She could have spared herself such an embarrassment really . This is something i have often observed, money can buy a lot of things but not dignity.

[Canerican.]

Why on earth did they need so much room? Was it to impress their peers? I can’t imagine leading Mrs Vanderbilt er Russell out the servants entrance! The look on their faces! Lol

[waynebrady]

I can say with certainty that that house isnt the Astor place

[juksat]

This would be 10 times better if they could have used the real Beechwood

[freedomtoday]

That was Pride and Prejudice, where Elizabeth aunt and uncle tipped the housekeeper.d

Everyone who reads this, we don't know each other and probably never will but I wish you all the best in life and all the luck in the world 🥰💓🥰

I WILL NEVER GET PIEND,

[boahancock]

I don’t like her character she’s very pushy and needy of approval of high society just to get noticed which is not classy.

Ward McAllisters accent is annoying, also why are they sneaking inside that woman's house for? Curiosity killed the cat you know.
