comment
Alternative Character Interpretation: In-universe, there are differing opinions on the timing of Mary's engagement to Matthew; one is that it's damage control and another is that it disproves the rumors entirely.

Adaptational Early Appearance
 The Bet (Fanfic) / int_723606c4
comment
Adaptational Early Appearance: Anthony Foyle, one of Mary's suitors in Series 4 and 5, is brought in as a rival for Matthew by Cora, nearly 10 years before his appearance in canon. Similarly, Henry Talbot, Lady Shackleton's nephew and Mary's husband by the end of Series 6, is also brought in, but dismissed by Violet. Larry Grey, Lord Merton's son who was attracted to Sybil, also appears as another suitor brought in. Apparently Cora and Violet know he likes Sybil, but are leery of the age gap between them. Since Mary and Edith are getting married earlier than in canon, Martha Levinson shows up earlier. The family takes a trip to Duneagle where the Flintshires are, some 7-8 years before their appearance in canon.

 The Bet (Fanfic) / int_8d0785d5
comment
Didn't Think This Through: The story emphasizes how much trouble Edith stirred up with revealing Pamuk was in Mary's room. It really begins to set in when Edith overhears Mary revealing to Matthew that she did not invite Pamuk, and she's petrified; it isn't a matter of if Mary will take revenge, but when and how.

Boyfriend-Blocking Dad: Gender-flipped and downplayed. Isobel views Matthew's relationship with Mary with a very jaundiced eye due to her leading both him and Tony Foyle on. She doesn't want Matthew stuck in a marriage where all the affection is on his side.

comment
Ascended Extra: In canon, Sir Anthony Strallan is primarily a Romantic False Lead for Edith and Mary to a lesser extent who gets Put on a Bus for most of Series 2 and then drops out of the story entirely during Series 3 when he jilts Edith at the altar. Here, his background is expounded on considerably: he's an old schoolmate of Robert's and has strong ties to Germany through his mother as well as his studies abroad. Sir Anthony's sister Mrs. Chetwood makes a full appearance here instead of being merely mentioned in the show as a source of argument between Mrs. Hughes and Mrs. Patmore; her first name is Henrietta and she has four children, at least one of whom is older than Edith. The Crawleys' law-studying cousin Freddie is shown here; in this version he's a nephew of Violet's.

Adaptational Karma: The series doesn't go into much detail about the consequences of Edith revealing that Kemal Pamuk died in Mary's bed aside from Mary being shunned and Mary retaliating by lying to Sir Anthony that Edith thought him boring. Here, the gossip chain ensnares Edith and Sybil, which Edith definitely didn't want.
