Rain fell on a bleak night, with wan moonlight fighting its way through pendulous clouds to cast long shadows across the grounds. Lord Grantham perched in front of Downton, tweed-clad legs tensed with the will to spring toward his foe, a rain-spattered, moon-dappled katana unsheathed at the ready.

July 21. - Veterinary Surgeon Baffled.
Right.
The effect of the veterinary surgeon's announcement on Lo Emsworth was overwhelming. As a rule, the wear and tear our complex modern life left this vague and amiable peer scathed. So long as he had sunshine, regular meals, and c plete freedom from the society of his younger son Freder he was placidly happy. But there were chinks in his armour, one of these had been pierced this morning. Dazed by the he stood at the window of the great library of Blandings C looking out with unseeing eyes.

Wikipedia is built upon collective effort to built a useful resource maintained by people who care while LLMs are just a profit-extracting race to the bottom.
