In the first episode of Season One of Downton Abbey, the patriarch Lord Grantham is challenged by his mother about his dedication to the Downton Estate. He gives a compelling answer.
"What do you think? I've given my life to Downton. I was born here, and I hope to die here. I claim no career beyond the nurture of this house and the estate. It is my third parent and my
fourth child. Do I care about it? Yes, I do care!"
"Third Parent and Fourth Child" is a powerful way to explain one's dedication.
