You'll enjoy that, Mary. - Hardly(!) 114 00:08:07,780 --> 00:08:10,410 And if Bertie IS Lord Hexham which I still don't believe, 115 00:08:10,460 --> 00:08:12,970 - he won't want to marry her now. - Careful. 116 00:08:13,020 --> 00:08:16,500 People will think you're jealous, dear. We don't want that. 117 00:08:25,100 --> 00:08:28,130 - It's only a try-out, Mr Carson. - Every day you'd leave at two? 118 00:08:28,180 --> 00:08:31,450 And I'd be back by five.

Perhaps because I want it so much. 124 00:08:45,740 --> 00:08:48,810 There are plenty of little boys who want to be famous cricketers. 125 00:08:48,860 --> 00:08:51,090 It's not enough to make them champions. 126 00:08:51,140 --> 00:08:55,140 - I just want to try, Mr Carson. - And so you shall. 127 00:08:59,620 --> 00:09:01,330 (LAUGHS) 128 00:09:01,380 --> 00:09:04,130 How terrible.

I mean it. 136 00:09:33,700 --> 00:09:37,180 - We'd be wretched long term. - And you're not wretched now? 137 00:09:39,100 --> 00:09:42,130 - Mary thinks he'll throw me over. - I don't see why. 138 00:09:42,180 --> 00:09:45,890 It's surely very encouraging he's coming here on his way to London. 139 00:09:45,940 --> 00:09:50,810 Unless it's to break with me so he can start afresh. He's not bound. 140 00:09:50,860 --> 00:09:52,860 I haven't accepted him. 141 00:09:54,220 --> 00:09:59,050 - Have you told him about Marigold? - Not yet. 142 00:09:59,100 --> 00:10:02,570 Make a clean breast of it. Please. 143 00:10:02,620 --> 00:10:08,220 - You'll regret it if you don't. - With my luck, I'll regret it either way. 144 00:10:17,140 --> 00:10:19,140 What are you doing? 145 00:10:20,900 --> 00:10:22,610 Oh.

That's it for today. 346 00:23:30,900 --> 00:23:35,850 Oh yes, er some of you may like to examine these time charts 347 00:23:35,900 --> 00:23:39,500 that I've drawn up, tomorrow we'll really begin to make a start. 348 00:23:40,700 --> 00:23:42,300 Would you...? 349 00:23:42,940 --> 00:23:45,130 This is so precisely not the way to win me over! 350 00:23:45,180 --> 00:23:48,530 - Will you just get off your high horse? - Why are you interfering? 351 00:23:48,580 --> 00:23:52,410 - I love you and want you to be happy. - Well, you've got a bloody odd way of showing it! 352 00:23:52,460 --> 00:23:55,250 Well, I take it this is me you're fighting about? 353 00:23:55,300 --> 00:23:59,410 Yes, it is. And you can dig yourself out. Because I've had enough. 354 00:23:59,460 --> 00:24:01,020 Oh! 355 00:24:03,460 --> 00:24:05,730 - Have you brought a dinner jacket? - Yes. 356 00:24:05,780 --> 00:24:08,930 Well, you were very well equipped to do your 'car things' in Durham. 357 00:24:08,980 --> 00:24:11,370 How many years do you think it's taken to find someone 358 00:24:11,420 --> 00:24:13,250 I want to spend the rest of my life with? 359 00:24:13,300 --> 00:24:16,970 Living in my family house? Working to preserve my estate 360 00:24:17,020 --> 00:24:20,250 - and being outranked by your own stepson? - Oh, I'm tougher than I look. 361 00:24:20,300 --> 00:24:23,250 Oh, Henry, please don't make this harder than it has to be. 362 00:24:23,300 --> 00:24:27,810 (HALF LAUGHS) Are you mad? If you're trying to get rid of me, 363 00:24:27,860 --> 00:24:34,130 I'm going to make this as hard and as horrible as I can! 364 00:24:34,180 --> 00:24:37,660 Well you're being extremely unfair! 365 00:24:47,620 --> 00:24:51,490 I wish I knew what we should do. (I'm tempted to tell him myself.) 366 00:24:51,540 --> 00:24:54,690 You think he's strong enough to stand out against his mother? 367 00:24:54,740 --> 00:24:58,650 Can't we just leave Edith to tell him or not, as she sees fit? 368 00:24:58,700 --> 00:25:00,570 Tell him what? 369 00:25:00,620 --> 00:25:04,450 That Mr Gregson made Edith his heir. 370 00:25:04,500 --> 00:25:06,890 Some men might not feel comfortable with that. 371 00:25:06,940 --> 00:25:12,090 Why did you invite Henry to stay, without asking me first? 372 00:25:12,140 --> 00:25:15,410 Darling, it was half-past five and the man was in North Yorkshire. 373 00:25:15,460 --> 00:25:17,890 What did you want him to do? Pitch a tent under a tree? 374 00:25:17,940 --> 00:25:20,050 He must have made a plan for his journey back. 375 00:25:20,100 --> 00:25:25,370 I doubt he ever went to Durham. He came up here to see you. 376 00:25:25,420 --> 00:25:28,330 - Who says so? - The look in his eyes. 377 00:25:28,380 --> 00:25:31,690 Not one of you thinks it's a good idea! A professional driver? 378 00:25:31,740 --> 00:25:34,850 - With nothing to his name? - Then give him up. - I had. 379 00:25:34,900 --> 00:25:37,890 I did. Until Mama invited him to make himself at home! 380 00:25:37,940 --> 00:25:43,090 You can't expect us to be rude. The man's only crime is to love you. 381 00:25:43,140 --> 00:25:46,900 Just send him away! As quick as you can. For all our sakes. 382 00:25:49,740 --> 00:25:53,650 She's right about one thing. None of us thinks it's a good idea. 383 00:25:53,700 --> 00:25:57,980 Maybe not. But she's clearly quite mad about him, whatever she says. 384 00:26:00,860 --> 00:26:03,400 How was it, Mr Molesley? Teaching? 385 00:26:04,500 --> 00:26:05,700 Oh. 386 00:26:06,940 --> 00:26:08,290 It... 387 00:26:08,340 --> 00:26:12,770 - it was, quite a challenge. - There's always another day. 388 00:26:12,820 --> 00:26:14,300 I know. 389 00:26:16,100 --> 00:26:20,260 They've got their coffee upstairs so I'll make a last check. 390 00:26:23,540 --> 00:26:26,690 How are you getting to Tangiers? Is there a boat that sails direct? 391 00:26:26,740 --> 00:26:29,610 - Actually I'm flying. For the first bit, anyway. - What? 392 00:26:29,660 --> 00:26:33,530 - I know. It does seem rather daring. - I do not envy you. 393 00:26:33,580 --> 00:26:36,610 I don't know. Now the commercial airlines are starting to operate, 394 00:26:36,660 --> 00:26:39,650 I dare say we'll all be flying hither and thither before too long. 395 00:26:39,700 --> 00:26:41,770 (SCOFFS) I rather doubt that. 396 00:26:41,820 --> 00:26:45,810 I like the way Bertie makes no bones about it. He's here to see you. 397 00:26:45,860 --> 00:26:47,010 I know. 398 00:26:47,060 --> 00:26:49,970 The same could be said of me but I'm not doing as well as he is. 399 00:26:50,020 --> 00:26:53,530 I hope you know what you are doing. She's quite a handful you know. 400 00:26:53,580 --> 00:26:58,170 - Who's a handful? - My beloved sister. - Well, she is beloved by me, anyway. 401 00:26:58,220 --> 00:27:03,290 - I like Bertie. I do. But when you see them together... - Meaning? 402 00:27:03,340 --> 00:27:05,010 If Henry were the new Marquess, 403 00:27:05,060 --> 00:27:07,770 there wouldn't be a woman who wasn't setting her cap at him. 404 00:27:07,820 --> 00:27:10,050 What about you? Would you set your cap at him? 405 00:27:10,100 --> 00:27:15,380 - Because if that's why you're not, shame on you. - Oh, stop lecturing me! 406 00:27:16,740 --> 00:27:18,580 Excuse me. 407 00:27:22,460 --> 00:27:25,860 Mary, wait. Wait! 408 00:27:26,340 --> 00:27:29,090 Look, I made a mistake. I'm sorry. 409 00:27:29,140 --> 00:27:31,970 I thought I could present my arguments effectively in person, 410 00:27:32,020 --> 00:27:35,570 - clearly I was wrong. - I can't bear to be manoeuvred. 411 00:27:35,620 --> 00:27:39,650 But you see, I think we love each other very much. 412 00:27:39,700 --> 00:27:42,800 For some reason, you're fighting it. I'm not. 413 00:27:44,060 --> 00:27:47,210 My birth is respectable, so it can't be that, 414 00:27:47,260 --> 00:27:50,330 which forces me to believe that it is my lack of money 415 00:27:50,380 --> 00:27:53,210 and position that present the problem. 416 00:27:53,260 --> 00:27:56,610 - Aren't you better than that? - What? 417 00:27:56,660 --> 00:27:59,970 Well, it just seems rather small to me. 418 00:28:00,020 --> 00:28:01,650 Not to marry a man for lack of money 419 00:28:01,700 --> 00:28:05,130 - is the same as marrying him because of it. - Out of my way! - Am I not right? 420 00:28:05,180 --> 00:28:07,970 No. You push in here, into my home, uninvited, 421 00:28:08,020 --> 00:28:11,930 in order to call me a grubby, little gold digger? You've got a nerve! 422 00:28:11,980 --> 00:28:13,300 Mary! 423 00:28:16,260 --> 00:28:17,660 Mary! 424 00:28:26,700 --> 00:28:29,170 She loves him but she can't control him. 425 00:28:29,220 --> 00:28:32,930 That's what frightens her. He's stronger than she is, really. 426 00:28:32,980 --> 00:28:36,570 Or as strong. And she's not used to it. 427 00:28:36,620 --> 00:28:40,220 She's a bit of a bully, your Lady Mary. She likes her own way. 428 00:28:41,140 --> 00:28:46,770 She is and she does but there's another side to her. He sees that. 429 00:28:46,820 --> 00:28:50,020 - So you were wrong about him? - I think I was. 430 00:28:53,100 --> 00:28:58,100 - Why are you smiling? - Show me a man that doesn't smile when his wife admits she's wrong. 431 00:29:09,660 --> 00:29:14,050 - Won't you send me to bed happy? - Sounds like an indecent proposal. 432 00:29:14,100 --> 00:29:15,770 (BOTH LAUGH) 433 00:29:15,820 --> 00:29:18,650 I meant, give me your answer. 434 00:29:18,700 --> 00:29:24,540 Let me go to Tangiers with a sense my tomorrows are beginning. Please. 435 00:29:26,980 --> 00:29:31,450 I love you, Bertie. I've been in love before. 436 00:29:31,500 --> 00:29:35,210 I won't pretend that I haven't. But I really do love you. 437 00:29:35,260 --> 00:29:38,410 Then I'll take that as a yes. 438 00:29:38,460 --> 00:29:43,810 The trouble is, I'm not as simple as I used to be. 439 00:29:43,860 --> 00:29:46,000 My life is not as simple. 440 00:29:49,820 --> 00:29:54,170 I... just need to be sure I'm being realistic, 441 00:29:54,220 --> 00:29:59,330 not living in a fool's paradise and dragging you into it with me. 442 00:29:59,380 --> 00:30:01,650 I'll still take it as a yes. 443 00:30:16,060 --> 00:30:20,850 - You're down early. - No, I'm not. Where's Henry? - He's gone. 444 00:30:20,900 --> 00:30:24,820 - What? - He had something in London this evening and wanted to get back. 445 00:30:35,180 --> 00:30:37,820 I have a mass of letters to write. 446 00:30:45,660 --> 00:30:49,050 - I'm sorry Lord Grantham's left. - Why particularly? 447 00:30:49,100 --> 00:30:54,060 Because we've got some news and I was waiting for Mary to join us. 448 00:30:54,300 --> 00:30:56,440 It's not the right moment. 449 00:30:57,100 --> 00:31:00,580 Carson, could we have some more coffee, please? 450 00:31:07,700 --> 00:31:09,850 Why isn't it the right moment? 451 00:31:09,900 --> 00:31:14,690 - Well, Henry's abandoned you. - No, he hasn't. I wanted him to go. 452 00:31:14,740 --> 00:31:17,370 - That's not what it looked like. - Well, that's how it is. 453 00:31:17,420 --> 00:31:19,490 There's no need for this. 454 00:31:19,540 --> 00:31:22,810 Edith, if your news is good, then we are very happy for you both. 455 00:31:22,860 --> 00:31:25,260 Aren't we, Mary? 456 00:31:26,300 --> 00:31:28,770 See? I told you. 457 00:31:28,820 --> 00:31:32,410 The one thing Mary can't bear is when things are going better 458 00:31:32,460 --> 00:31:35,130 - for me than for her. - I'm sure that's not true. 459 00:31:35,180 --> 00:31:38,650 You don't know her. I'm getting married and you've lost your man. 460 00:31:38,700 --> 00:31:40,690 And you just can't stand it. 461 00:31:40,740 --> 00:31:44,490 - Edith, there is no need for -- - You're wrong. I'm very happy for you. 462 00:31:44,540 --> 00:31:49,090 And I admire you, Bertie. Not everyone would accept Edith's past. 463 00:31:49,140 --> 00:31:53,130 - Mary, don't. - What do you mean? - Well, you must've told him? 464 00:31:53,180 --> 00:31:55,530 You couldn't accept him without telling him? 465 00:31:55,580 --> 00:31:59,260 - Tell me what? - About Marigold. Who she really is. 466 00:32:04,780 --> 00:32:07,420 Marigold is my daughter. 467 00:32:20,540 --> 00:32:22,540 Will you excuse me? 468 00:32:38,460 --> 00:32:41,730 I beg your pardon, Your Ladyship, but Mr Pelham, that is, 469 00:32:41,780 --> 00:32:44,890 Lord Hexham, has asked for a taxi and Mr Carson has gone out, 470 00:32:44,940 --> 00:32:48,050 - so I'm not quite sure -- - What? Lord Hexham's leaving? 471 00:32:48,100 --> 00:32:50,330 Obviously, if he wants a taxi. What's happened? 472 00:32:50,380 --> 00:32:53,010 Where's Lady Edith? Can't she drive him to the station? 473 00:32:53,060 --> 00:32:57,890 - Don't bother about it, Mrs Hughes. I'll sort it out. - Very good, M'Lord. 474 00:32:57,940 --> 00:33:01,540 - Mrs Hughes, how is Mrs Patmore? - She's still very upset, M'Lady. 475 00:33:02,380 --> 00:33:04,370 But there's nothing to be done. 476 00:33:04,420 --> 00:33:07,730 - Is this about her B & B going down the drain? - Don't be flippant. 477 00:33:07,780 --> 00:33:11,210 Why don't we pay her a visit? Have tea there and let people see us. 478 00:33:11,260 --> 00:33:14,130 What a good idea! Why didn't I think of that? 479 00:33:14,180 --> 00:33:16,890 But if it's to be effective, won't we have to be in the papers? 480 00:33:16,940 --> 00:33:20,330 Well, the local papers. And it wouldn't be a news story any more 481 00:33:20,380 --> 00:33:23,650 - than being photographed at a flower show. - Would Mrs Patmore agree? 482 00:33:23,700 --> 00:33:28,500 - I think she'd be bowled over, Your Ladyship. - Then it's settled. 483 00:33:29,820 --> 00:33:32,970 I hope you don't mind my saying that you seem very suspicious. 484 00:33:33,020 --> 00:33:37,650 Do I? But you must admit, your attitude is quite a volte-face. 485 00:33:37,700 --> 00:33:41,730 I want Larry's father to be content. Is that a volte-face? 486 00:33:41,780 --> 00:33:47,250 But does your fiance want his Papa to be content in this way? With me? 487 00:33:47,300 --> 00:33:49,450 Well, you know men. 488 00:33:49,500 --> 00:33:53,410 I'm not sure I do, as it happens. Tell me about them. 489 00:33:53,460 --> 00:33:58,410 I only meant they dig themselves into a position, 490 00:33:58,460 --> 00:34:00,850 often before considering all the options. 491 00:34:00,900 --> 00:34:04,890 - And you've considered 'the options'? - I believe so. 492 00:34:04,940 --> 00:34:06,650 Here's another option for you. 493 00:34:06,700 --> 00:34:12,010 I won't rekindle Lord Merton's dreams unless I'm invited to do so 494 00:34:12,060 --> 00:34:15,410 by Larry Grey, himself. Is that clear? 495 00:34:15,460 --> 00:34:18,130 I speak for him. 496 00:34:18,180 --> 00:34:21,810 Yes, but you see, I don't want you to speak FOR him. 497 00:34:21,860 --> 00:34:24,530 I want to hear him speak for himself. 498 00:34:25,820 --> 00:34:31,210 Oh, I see. The plan is to mix up His Lordship or, worse, Her Ladyship, 499 00:34:31,260 --> 00:34:34,650 with a divorce petition and the scene of an adultery? 500 00:34:34,700 --> 00:34:38,450 But I want to bury that story and I need a big event to bury it under. 501 00:34:38,500 --> 00:34:43,010 You have no qualms about dragging the family we serve into the mud? 502 00:34:43,060 --> 00:34:47,730 It's their choice, Mr Carson. They're all grown people, surely? 503 00:34:47,780 --> 00:34:50,890 Well, I've always known that women were ruthless, 504 00:34:50,940 --> 00:34:54,460 but I didn't think I'd find the proof in my own wife! 505 00:34:58,620 --> 00:35:01,810 And there's me thinking how kind they were to come to the rescue. 506 00:35:01,860 --> 00:35:05,220 And so they are. Just tell them yes and arrange the day. 507 00:35:08,900 --> 00:35:10,890 - He'll miss his train. - Let him miss it. 508 00:35:10,940 --> 00:35:13,690 He can catch the next one. What happened? 509 00:35:13,740 --> 00:35:16,370 Mary thought Edith had told him about Marigold. 510 00:35:16,420 --> 00:35:18,810 - How did Mary find out? - Mary is not stupid. 511 00:35:18,860 --> 00:35:23,610 No. And she's not always kind, either.

I ruin Lady Edith's life and Barrow tries to end his. 693 00:49:53,760 --> 00:49:57,150 - How is Lady Edith? - She's gone to London. 694 00:49:57,200 --> 00:49:59,110 Which is hardly to be wondered at, 695 00:49:59,160 --> 00:50:03,190 when her only sister has wrecked her chances of a happy, fulfilling life. 696 00:50:03,240 --> 00:50:09,600 - Lord Hexham won't come round? - Lady Edith thinks not. And I'm sorry. 697 00:50:13,680 --> 00:50:18,150 What about you? Have you thought any more about Mr Talbot? 698 00:50:18,200 --> 00:50:21,030 Don't you start. You're as bad as Mr Branson. 699 00:50:21,080 --> 00:50:25,710 - Why? What's he done? - He asked Mr Talbot to come here 700 00:50:25,760 --> 00:50:31,110 and he keeps going on and on and on. But Mr Talbot's not right for me. 701 00:50:31,160 --> 00:50:36,160 - He's not. We'd be miserable. - As long as you're sure that you -- - I am sure! 702 00:50:38,680 --> 00:50:40,310 I apologise. 703 00:50:40,360 --> 00:50:45,910 It's just nobody can believe that I know my own mind. 704 00:50:45,960 --> 00:50:48,160 Of course, M'Lady. 705 00:50:50,680 --> 00:50:54,840 - Right. Can I do anything more for you? - No, thank you. 706 00:51:03,040 --> 00:51:06,080 Good night. And Anna... 707 00:51:07,240 --> 00:51:09,160 .. I'm sorry. 708 00:51:20,480 --> 00:51:24,840 - You don't know that's the end. - Yes, I do. 709 00:51:26,280 --> 00:51:28,880 And please don't think badly of him. 710 00:51:29,280 --> 00:51:34,950 - It was my own fault. - Well, I liked him. - Me, too. 711 00:51:35,000 --> 00:51:37,920 Your sister hasn't been helpful. 712 00:51:39,560 --> 00:51:44,670 Mary and I are locked into a kind of lifelong struggle and I don't know, 713 00:51:44,720 --> 00:51:47,710 it's hard for an outsider to understand. It's hard for me. 714 00:51:47,760 --> 00:51:50,670 Who invented families? That's what I'd like to know. 715 00:51:50,720 --> 00:51:53,990 - What time is Miss Jones coming today? - Five. For tea. 716 00:51:54,040 --> 00:51:56,030 Do we know her real name yet? 717 00:51:56,080 --> 00:51:59,150 She only writes as Cassandra Jones which is the name on her account. 718 00:51:59,200 --> 00:52:01,390 Perhaps it is her real name, after all. 719 00:52:01,440 --> 00:52:06,470 Well, real or not, she has quite a following. So we'd better be pals. 720 00:52:06,520 --> 00:52:10,630 - How did you get her to come here? - I'm afraid I forced her. 721 00:52:10,680 --> 00:52:12,910 Look, she wants more money which is fair enough 722 00:52:12,960 --> 00:52:16,190 given the success of the column, but I insisted we negotiate in person. 723 00:52:16,240 --> 00:52:19,670 - Why? - I was curious. Aren't you? 724 00:52:19,720 --> 00:52:22,990 Suppose she sends someone to impersonate her, 725 00:52:23,040 --> 00:52:25,030 if she's as secretive as all that? 726 00:52:25,080 --> 00:52:27,510 Let's have a sign if we think it's the real Cassandra. 727 00:52:27,560 --> 00:52:31,310 Say, "Bananas" if you think she's telling the truth. 728 00:52:31,360 --> 00:52:33,600 All right. Bananas it is. 729 00:52:39,080 --> 00:52:41,400 (KNOCK ON DOOR, DOOR OPENS) 730 00:52:42,400 --> 00:52:43,790 May we come in? 731 00:52:43,840 --> 00:52:49,790 Hello, Mr Barrow. Here you are.

And no-one more than Master George. 734 00:52:59,280 --> 00:53:02,790 - At least I've got one friend, eh? - Have you been lonely? 735 00:53:02,840 --> 00:53:07,950 If I have, I've only myself to blame. I've done and said things. 736 00:53:08,000 --> 00:53:14,790 I don't know why, I can't stop myself. Now I'm paying the price. 737 00:53:14,840 --> 00:53:18,070 Strange. I could say the same. 738 00:53:18,120 --> 00:53:22,750 - Mr Carson's told them that you've got -- - 'Flu. I know. 739 00:53:22,800 --> 00:53:25,110 I beg your pardon, M'Lady. 740 00:53:25,160 --> 00:53:31,030 We're going Barrow and I hope things improve for you. I really do. 741 00:53:31,080 --> 00:53:33,990 I'd say the same if it weren't impertinent, M'Lady. 742 00:53:34,040 --> 00:53:37,800 - Goodbye, Mr Barrow. - Goodbye, Master George. 743 00:53:42,160 --> 00:53:45,310 - So. Today's the big day. - Oh, spare me. 744 00:53:45,360 --> 00:53:48,870 - Do you want to take Daisy with you? - Oh, if I'm allowed. 745 00:53:48,920 --> 00:53:52,390 I mean my niece is good but she might be dumbstruck 746 00:53:52,440 --> 00:53:54,950 with those Lords and Ladies sitting in my front room. 747 00:53:55,000 --> 00:53:57,910 Come to think of it, how will the village know that they've been? 748 00:53:57,960 --> 00:54:01,670 Lucy's seen to that. We've got the man from The Echo coming at five. 749 00:54:01,720 --> 00:54:03,950 Oh? Put up a poster, why don't you? 750 00:54:04,000 --> 00:54:06,910 They're doing something nice, Mr Carson.

For the public to read about the cakes and dainties 752 00:54:10,360 --> 00:54:14,430 His Lordship is guzzling as he sits at the adulterers' table! 753 00:54:14,480 --> 00:54:18,270 I'm sure there've been a few adulterers sat at the table upstairs. 754 00:54:18,320 --> 00:54:20,470 - That is different. - Why? 755 00:54:20,520 --> 00:54:25,670 To say nothing of suicidal footman in the attic! What are we coming to? 756 00:54:25,720 --> 00:54:29,040 I only thank God that the Dowager isn't here to witness it. 757 00:54:52,760 --> 00:54:55,590 - I can't believe you came. - You made it sound so urgent. 758 00:54:55,640 --> 00:54:57,750 Even so, I really appreciate it. Thank you. 759 00:54:57,800 --> 00:55:00,710 - Was everything all right when you got home? - Well no, not really. 760 00:55:00,760 --> 00:55:03,990 - Spratt has gone away. - Did you tell him you were coming back? 761 00:55:04,040 --> 00:55:06,630 A good butler should not need to be told. 762 00:55:06,680 --> 00:55:11,750 Now, where are they? My broken-hearted granddaughters? 763 00:55:11,800 --> 00:55:15,030 It's just Mary. Edith's gone up to London. I didn't know when I wrote. 764 00:55:15,080 --> 00:55:17,080 All the better. 765 00:55:18,400 --> 00:55:20,910 But how will we get it all there? 766 00:55:20,960 --> 00:55:25,390 They're letting me have a car. Seeing as I'm giving tea to His Lordship. 767 00:55:25,440 --> 00:55:28,350 You're ready, then? They've brought the car round. 768 00:55:28,400 --> 00:55:30,400 Andrew, carry that out. 769 00:55:33,440 --> 00:55:38,550 - And very, very good luck. - And good luck to us all(!) 770 00:55:38,600 --> 00:55:41,670 In the vain hope that we'll avoid scandalous gossip. 771 00:55:41,720 --> 00:55:45,670 - You're such an old curmudgeon. - Don't say you're going off me. 772 00:55:45,720 --> 00:55:51,560 No, because you're MY curmudgeon and that makes all the difference. 773 00:55:54,000 --> 00:55:56,000 Hm. 774 00:55:58,840 --> 00:56:02,470 Granny. When did you arrive? 775 00:56:02,520 --> 00:56:06,390 Yesterday evening. I spent the night before in Southampton 776 00:56:06,440 --> 00:56:10,710 and an entire day on trains. So I've come hot foot. 777 00:56:10,760 --> 00:56:13,910 If you're here to reprimand me about Edith, please don't. 778 00:56:13,960 --> 00:56:16,270 Tom's already torn me into strips. 779 00:56:16,320 --> 00:56:20,230 - Why did you do it? - I don't know. She was so... 780 00:56:20,280 --> 00:56:23,230 - Anyway, I'm sorry now. - You should be. 781 00:56:23,280 --> 00:56:26,630 With Edith, I just say things and then they can't be unsaid. 782 00:56:26,680 --> 00:56:31,190 Tom believes you're unhappy. That's why you lash out as you do. 783 00:56:31,240 --> 00:56:34,630 Look, if this is about Henry Talbot, you should be clear 784 00:56:34,680 --> 00:56:39,830 he hasn't much to offer. Bertie Hexham is a loss but not Henry. 785 00:56:39,880 --> 00:56:43,270 He's well born, but there's no money or position. 786 00:56:43,320 --> 00:56:47,150 He's not even a countryman. Not really. He grew up in London. 787 00:56:47,200 --> 00:56:51,430 - He shoots. - Yes, he shoots. Like every social-climbing banker shoots. 788 00:56:51,480 --> 00:56:55,550 Well, let's leave his credentials to one side for a moment 789 00:56:55,600 --> 00:56:59,230 - and concentrate on what is important. - Which is? 790 00:56:59,280 --> 00:57:03,670 Tom says that he is in love with you and that you are in love with him. 791 00:57:03,720 --> 00:57:07,120 - Do you believe him? - Do you deny it? 792 00:57:09,160 --> 00:57:12,470 Oh, for you of all people to talk as if his qualifications don't matter! 793 00:57:12,520 --> 00:57:18,840 Tony Gillingham had all that I could wish -- birth, money, looks... 794 00:57:20,000 --> 00:57:22,670 - .. but he didn't suit you. - No. 795 00:57:22,720 --> 00:57:26,510 He wasn't clever enough. He wasn't strong enough. 796 00:57:26,560 --> 00:57:29,190 Henry Talbot is both. 797 00:57:29,240 --> 00:57:31,910 All right, Granny, it's not his poverty. 798 00:57:31,960 --> 00:57:36,590 But did Tom tell you, I stood there staring at a car in flames, 799 00:57:36,640 --> 00:57:39,870 - wondering if it were him? - I think he's told me everything. 800 00:57:39,920 --> 00:57:44,350 Then you'll know I can't be a crash widow again. I can't! 801 00:57:44,400 --> 00:57:48,390 I'd live in terror, dreading every race, every practice, every trial. 802 00:57:48,440 --> 00:57:51,230 - I cannot do it! - Does he know this? 803 00:57:51,280 --> 00:57:55,240 He'd feel he should give it up but I don't want that. He'd resent me. 804 00:57:56,600 --> 00:57:59,310 Oh, can't you find me some Duke? There must be one spare. 805 00:57:59,360 --> 00:58:00,950 So I can put Edith in her place. 806 00:58:01,000 --> 00:58:04,830 You are the only woman I know who likes 807 00:58:04,880 --> 00:58:10,390 to think herself cold and selfish and grand. 808 00:58:10,440 --> 00:58:12,910 Most of us spend our lives trying to hide it. 809 00:58:12,960 --> 00:58:18,070 - Oh, Granny please don't lecture me on sentimental virtues. - Don't worry. 810 00:58:18,120 --> 00:58:23,670 Don't worry. I believe in rules and traditions and playing our part. 811 00:58:23,720 --> 00:58:26,750 But there is something else. 812 00:58:26,800 --> 00:58:28,790 And what is that, pray? 813 00:58:28,840 --> 00:58:31,760 I believe in love. 814 00:58:33,080 --> 00:58:38,920 I mean, brilliant careers, rich lives, are seldom led without... 815 00:58:40,000 --> 00:58:42,240 .. just an element of love. 816 00:58:45,840 --> 00:58:48,240 Oh, Granny. You do surprise me. 817 00:58:49,280 --> 00:58:53,230 Oh, I am glad. So climbing all those stairs wasn't wasted. 818 00:58:53,280 --> 00:58:55,350 (MARY LAUGHS) 819 00:58:55,400 --> 00:58:57,960 No, I would only say this. 820 00:58:58,760 --> 00:59:03,920 First, make peace with your sister. 821 00:59:06,400 --> 00:59:11,320 And then make peace with yourself. 822 00:59:13,440 --> 00:59:15,440 Oh, Mary. 823 00:59:24,480 --> 00:59:27,470 - Is Granny coming back for dinner? - She didn't say so. 824 00:59:27,520 --> 00:59:31,550 She goes without telling us. And returns without seeing us. 825 00:59:31,600 --> 00:59:35,070 We're in the dog house. How hard is that to understand? Now, let's go. 826 00:59:35,120 --> 00:59:37,390 - Sure you don't want to come with us? - Quite sure. 827 00:59:37,440 --> 00:59:39,990 You don't need me. You're enough of a headline. 828 00:59:40,040 --> 00:59:42,440 And you certainly don't need me. 829 00:59:42,560 --> 00:59:47,110 - My Lord, I wonder if I might have a word? - What is it? 830 00:59:47,160 --> 00:59:50,590 With your permission, I'd like to tell Mr Barrow that he can stay 831 00:59:50,640 --> 00:59:53,750 for the time being at any rate. It would take a weight off his mind. 832 00:59:53,800 --> 00:59:57,190 That's a relief. I was going to suggest the same thing. 833 00:59:57,240 --> 01:00:02,070 - Were you, My Lord? - Yes. I feel quite as guilty as you do, Carson. 834 01:00:02,120 --> 01:00:06,750 I tell you what I blame myself for. I didn't credit him with feelings. 835 01:00:06,800 --> 01:00:10,310 I thought he was a man without a heart. And I was wrong. 836 01:00:10,360 --> 01:00:13,520 No man is an island, Carson. Not even Thomas Barrow. 837 01:00:17,040 --> 01:00:22,870 I ought to be very angry with you. Summoning Granny to tick me off. 838 01:00:22,920 --> 01:00:24,910 I was amazed she came at my call. 839 01:00:24,960 --> 01:00:28,950 She said your letter was very eloquent. She was quite persuaded. 840 01:00:29,000 --> 01:00:33,510 - So what are you going to do? - As soon as Granny left I sent Henry 841 01:00:33,560 --> 01:00:35,750 a telegram to get the next train. 842 01:00:35,800 --> 01:00:38,870 - Hopefully he'll be here by tea time. - What about Edith? 843 01:00:38,920 --> 01:00:43,630 That's a harder task. I'm ready to say I'm sorry. 844 01:00:43,680 --> 01:00:46,350 But why should she want to forgive me? 845 01:00:48,600 --> 01:00:53,150 - I got held up. Is she here yet? - Miss Jones has arrived, yes, Lady Edith. 846 01:00:53,200 --> 01:00:56,300 - Why the mysterious face? - You better go in. 847 01:00:57,680 --> 01:00:59,670 Ah. Edith. 848 01:00:59,720 --> 01:01:03,160 So this, it turns out, is Miss Cassandra Jones. 849 01:01:04,160 --> 01:01:06,960 - Spratt? - Good afternoon, Lady Edith. 850 01:01:09,160 --> 01:01:11,120 BOTH: Bananas! 851 01:01:13,560 --> 01:01:15,560 (BIRDSONG) 852 01:01:27,000 --> 01:01:30,390 I don't have to tell you why I'm here. 853 01:01:30,440 --> 01:01:34,800 Either you know everything or you're not hearing me now. 854 01:01:40,120 --> 01:01:43,680 The truth is...
