A sequel to "Alpine Interlude" which tells of the lives of the Bransons, the Crawleys, and the Schönborns during the Coronation Year of 1937, culminating with a visit by the Bransons and the Schönborns to Downton Abbey in December of that same year. But, nothing is quite what it seems. And while there are storm clouds abroad, there are also problems which are rather closer to home.

Nine years after the end of the Irish Civil War, Tom and Sybil Branson, Matthew and Mary Crawley now earl and countess of Grantham, along with all their children embark on an eventful trip to the Continent of Europe. Mayhem ensues. Do please read and review.
