Matthew is an escapee from an early 19th century novel, the romantic hero with the woman he did wrong in his past, that he can never get over, even though he only sorta-kinda was in love with her in the first place. The scene at the cemetery was classic if set about 100 years too late to be really effective. Don't know why that's the path they chose for his story, but there it is.
Sybil and Chauffeur doesn't work, because we never saw a thing from Sybil's end. He talked and talked, but she never showed the least interest in him personally.
FYI: Edith is the plain sister of the three. Sarah O'Brien, who is always called O'Brien, is the frowning maid who always seems to destroy other people's lives, though this season she is a lot more sorry about it.
