Upstairs Downstairs-Series 5-Episode 16-Part 2

[katherinereece]

Give some money to the lawyer and have him tell Georgina that is was what was left of the estate.

[katherinereece]

@katherinereece I should write!!!!!!!! I got it right!

[topsyish]

It was the New York Stock Exchange and do not forget not all stocks were worthless afterwards. There are always stocks that do not rise so quickly and are less affected in a crunch. Just like the names at Lloyds, we have all seen the pensions of widows and retirees evaporate. However the oldest and richest of the names made money because they were directed to the profit making policies! Risk a lot, lose a lot.

well, it was Rose's decision to invest, even though Hudson warned her it was like gambling on the races

Go Mrs Bellamy!!!! =)

[maryhill2005]

Why is Georgina is the most important person in the series? Everyone is fussing about her happiness. She's not even blood related to the Bellamy and yet her welfare is their priority.

[ginaraquel]

The Bellamys are the calmest family. All that tragedy and about to be turned out of their house and they're so blase.

£2,000 found for a wedding but what about Rose's £1,250??

[LANBritain1]

@wayneschlaegal

Did you watch the previous episode?

[wayneschlaegal]

@LANBritain1 Did she get it back then? I don't rememeber that

[LANBritain1]

@wayneschlaegal

Nope, she lost it all in the crash, causing James to shoot himself (well among other reasons..)

[wayneschlaegal]

@LANBritain1 that was my point, the family manage to find £2,000 for the lovely Georgina's wedding but not a penny for Rose.

[fkd1963]

@wayneschlaegal That is an issue for the script writers. On the other hand, many months have gone by since she lost her money. If I recall, Virginia sold some stock to get the money? Maybe they gave her the money in the sequel. :) In those days upstairs would take priority over downstairs. :)))

[Butterfly1Queen]

@wayneschlaegal EXACTLY my first thought!

Mr. Bellamy hasn't aged a bit in 30 years lol
