Humility shows up at Downton Abbey

As I've watched (and loved) Downton Abbey, one thing that has impressed me is the humility between Bates and Lord Grantham. They are both eager to quickly take the low place - Grantham apologizing when he's in the wrong, even though he is the Lord and Bates no defending himself when he has a right to. I want to be like them, their integrity/humility draws me. I pray i can remember their example the next time i am wrong or want to defend myself... hard places to find myself in but the silver lining is it is an opportunity to practice (to put on, clothe myself with...Colossians 3:12 ) humility, just as Bates is putting on Lord Grantham's dinner jacket.
