If Downton Abbey had Cellphones

Prankster Part 1

Darrel: I'm bored...
Darrel has added Ms. Bunting to the conversation
Ms. Bunting: Oh, it's you.
Darrel: Nice to text you as well. 😑
Ms. Bunting: What do you want???
Darrel: I was bringing good news, but now I don't think I'll bother!
Ms. Bunting: I am terribly sorry...your highness, what is it?
Darrel: Well now you're just sucking up.
Ms. Bunting: Please.
Darrel: Okay, so the last time I was at Downton, I was walking around the halls at night, when I heard something from Tom's room.
Ms. Bunting: And?🤔
Darrel: So I went in, to make sure everything was alright, and I heard him say...'Sarah, Sarah, Sarah.' He was asleep.
Ms. Bunting: Sure...😑
Darrel: It's true! I'm not lying!
Ms. Bunting: So, you think Tom wants to get back with me?
Darrel: I said he was whispering the word 'Sarah' in his sleep, I didn't say it was you, or that it was a good dream.
Ms. Bunting: Oh...
Darrel: Laters Ms. Bunting.
Darrel has removed Ms. Bunting from the conversation
Darrel has added Queen to the conversation
Queen: Hello Elizabeth.
Darrel: Your majesty.
Queen: What is it?
Darrel: I have some news for you...and it's not going to be easy to say it...and you're not going to like it.
Queen: Why do you always waste my time Elizabeth? Just tell me.
Darrel: Very well. I believe Lord Grantham...um...may want to get back with you.
Queen: Back with me? We slept together one time! What are you basing this on?
Darrel: Last time I was at Downton, I heard...Lord and Lady Grantham talking in their bedroom...about...
Queen: They don't have separate bedrooms?
Darrel: No. May I continue?
Queen: Very well...
Darrel: And they were talking...about....well...their sex life.
Queen: Elizabeth! 😱😱😱
Darrel: Sorry. Anyways, and Lord Grantham was saying...how Lady Grantham...didn't perform as well as you.
Queen: What???

Darrel has added Lord Gillingham to the conversation
Lord Gillingham: Oh, your highness, good morning.
Darrel: Good morning my lord.
Lord Gillingham: How can I help you?
Darrel: Something has been bugging me, and I thought I should tell you.
Lord Gillingham: Of course. What is it?
Darrel: Well, the last time I was visiting Downton, Mary was telling Tom and I that she was regretting her decision about Henry.
Lord Gillingham: Really?
Darrel: Yes, and she said, 'I wonder if I'd have a better life with Tony.' And you should've seen her face when she said it.
Lord Gillingham: You know I'm with Mabel?
Darrel: Of course my lord! I reminded Mary of that, and she is well aware.
Lord Gillingham: Oh. Thank you for telling me.
Darrel: Of course.
Lord Gillingham: Your highness.
Darrel: My lord.
Lord Gillingham has left the conversation
Darrel has added Evelyn ((Napier)) to the conversation
Evelyn: Your highness, you are the last person I would expect to be texting.
Darrel: Well, we are family friends, aren't we?
Evelyn: Of course. How are you?
Darrel: I've been better. I heard something, and I'm not sure if I should tell you or not.
Evelyn: Then you must say it.
Darrel: Are you sure? I don't know how it'll make you feel.
Evelyn: I want you to feel comfortable saying whatever you wish to me. We're friends after all. 😀
Darrel: Okay. Well, the last time I was visiting Downton, Mary was telling Tom and I that she was regretting her decision about Henry.
Evelyn: Oh? Is she unhappy? Is he making her unhappy?
Darrel: Henry is a kind gentleman. Mary seems unhappy. She said, 'I wonder if I'd have a better life with Evelyn.' And you should've seen her face when she said it.
Evelyn: I thought your older sister found me dull and boring. 😴
Darrel: I think that might be what she wants. A more relaxed life. After all, with Henry being a car man, she's constantly worried about him getting injured.
Evelyn: I see. Well, thank you, your highness, for telling me.
Darrel: Anytime. 🙂

Darrel has added Charles ((Blake)) to the conversation
Charles: Hello Darrel.
Darrel: Hello Charles. How are you?
Charles: Quite well. And you?
Darrel: I'm troubled at the moment.
Charles: Oh? Is there something I can help with?
Darrel: Well, I overheard something, and I don't know if I should tell you.
Charles: If it is troubling you, feel free to say it.
Darrel: Are you sure? I'm afraid of how you'll react.
Charles: Spit it out.
Darrel: Well, the last time I was visiting Downton, Mary was telling Tom and I that she was regretting her decision about Henry.
Charles: Did she say why?
Darrel: No. But she did say, 'I wonder if I'd have a better life with Charles.' And you should've seen her face when she said it. Full of love.
Charles: I see...
Darrel: Should I not have told you?
Charles: No, you did the right thing. Thank you.
Charles has left the conversation
Darrel: Well, I better get to my meetings.
