Mr. Carson: Enjoying a Red Room...

It was none other than the celebrated King Charles Spaniel named after the dutiful, discreet, and trusted butler Fromm Downton Abbey, Mr. Carson.

It was a busy weekend, one that left Fr. Ralph completely exhausted but Mr. Carson flush with new found friends. On hosting this admired visitor, Fr.
