"People talk as if there are three classes when in fact there are 133," Fellowes said. "And everything we do is to nudge ourselves up and we worry if we've slipped downward a few levels."

For the uninitiated, Mary Poppins was a series of novels by Australia-born author Pamela Lyndon Travers first published in 1934. The eight-book story centered on a mysterious nanny blown by the East wind to the Banks household at Number Seventeen Cherry Tree Lane in La Belle Epoque London to take care of the two unruly children, Jane and Michael (in the books there are five children by the end of the series).
