Description: Rebecca Crawley stands at her dressing-table with her hair loose, waving a piece of paper in the air. Next to her, Rawdon Crawley stands looking puzzled, still holding the tray with the pitcher of chocolate and cup that he brought her for breakfast along with the letter. The letter is from his brother, now Sir Pitt Crawley after their father’s death, inviting them to the funeral at the estate.
