Editor of The Sketch
London editor Michael Gregson finds it hard to gain acceptance at Downton Abbey, where his status as a self-made man precedes him. Neither Edith's love, nor Cora's warmth nor Mary's grief-tinged indifference can smooth his way when Robert considers him an inferior match. And with British law preventing him from divorcing his insane wife, the Earl of Grantham's disapproval is the least of his problems. But Gregson remains focused marrying his beloved Edith, even when it requires that he pin everything on one very risky gamble.
