　　[INT. LORD GRANTHAM'S DRESSING¹ ROOM - DAY]

　　[Robert stares out the window.]

　　MR BATES

　　The doctor's gone, Your Lordship, but he's coming back after dinner. Lady Mary's with her now.

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　Thank you.

　　MR BATES

　　I don't suppose you'll want to change. But is there anything else I can do to be useful?

　　[Robert turns to face Bates.]

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　It was a boy.

　　[Robert begins to cry.]

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　I'm sorry, I don't mean to embarrass you.

　　MR BATES

　　I'm not embarrassed. I just with you could have been spared this.

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　I know you do. Thank you. By the way, Anna's told me what she learned in London.

　　MR BATES

　　Has she? She's not told me.

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　Oh, well, the good news is you won't be leaving Downton. And I need some good news today.

　　[INT. SERVANTS' HALL - DAY]

　　[Miss O'Brien thinks about what she's done.]

　　MRS HUGHES

　　That poor wee babe.

　　ANNA

　　How's Her Ladyship doing?

　　MRS HUGHES

　　I'll take her up a tray in a minute, but I daresay she won't touch a bite.

　　WILLIAM

　　What about you, Miss O'Brien?

　　[O'Brien looks at him like he can read her thoughts.]

　　MISS O'BRIEN

　　What about me?

　　WILLIAM

　　It must have been quite a shock.

　　MISS O'BRIEN

　　Yes. Yes, it was.

　　[Branson enters]

　　MR CARSON

　　I think you'd better dine with us, Mr Branson. We can't know if you might be needed later.

　　BRANSON

　　Well, I'm to go for the doctor at ten.

　　[Thomas enters.]

　　THOMAS

　　What a long-faced lot.

　　MR CARSON

　　Kindly² show some respect.

　　THOMAS

　　Come on, Mr Carson, she'll get over it. They're no bigger than a hamster at that stage.

　　MR BATES

　　Will you shut up?

　　MRS HUGHES

　　I agree. What is the matter with you, Thomas?

　　THOMAS

　　I don't know. I suppose all this makes me feel claustrophobic. I mean I'm sorry, 'course I am, but why must we live through them? They're just our employers; they're not our flesh and blood.

　　DAISY

　　Thomas, don't be so unkind.

　　WILLIAM

　　Is there nothing left on earth that you respect?

　　THOMAS

　　Hark at him. Blimey, if he carries on like this for the unborn baby of a woman who scarcely knows his name, no wonder he fell to pieces when his old mum snuffed it.

　　[Mrs Hughes and Mr Carson's jaws³ drop. William bolts out of his chair and punches.]

　　MR CARSON

　　William!

　　[Everyone stands up from the table as William pushes Thomas onto it and climbs on top of him.]

　　MR CARSON

　　Thomas! William! Stop that! That is enough!

　　[Neither of them pay Carson any heed⁴. The roll of the table onto the floor and William punches Thomas. Thomas stops the next punch and hits William back. Branson steps in and pulls William off Thomas.]

　　BRANSON

　　Calm down.

　　[Carson holds back Thomas and shoves him out of the room.]

　　BRANSON

　　He had that coming.

　　[EXT. DOWNTON ABBEY, GROUNDS - DAY]

　　[A string quartet plays for the garden party. Daisy brings a tray of food to the catering⁵ tent and Thomas brings them out to the guests, his face bruised⁶ from the fight.]

　　DR CLARKSON

　　Oh, Thomas.

　　[Thomas approaches the doctor.]

　　DR CLARKSON

　　I've done as I promised. General Burton is commanding the Division at Richmond and I think I may have a place there for you.

　　[Clarkson pulls out some papers.]

　　DR CLARKSON

　　Under Colonel Cartwright. These are the papers.

　　[Clarkson hands the papers to Thomas.]

　　DR CLARKSON

　　When you're ready, report to the local recruiting office and they'll take it from there. As a matter of fact, I'm being drafted back in as a captain, so I'll try to keep an eye on you.

　　THOMAS

　　That's very kind of you, Doctor.

　　DR CLARKSON

　　With any luck, there may be some advantage in your having volunteered so early.

　　[Thomas nods and leaves. William enters the catering tent with empty champagne⁷ glasses.

　　Daisy waits with dessert trays.]

　　WILLIAM

　　Oh, hang on a minute. Now, give me yours and take this one at the same time.

　　DAISY

　　William, I'm sorry I've been so unkind to you lately.

　　[They exchange trays.]

　　WILLIAM

　　That's all right.

　　DAISY

　　No, it's not all right. I don't know why I said those things.

　　WILLIAM

　　Well, you were under an evil spell.

　　DAISY

　　Well, I'm not under it any more.

　　WILLIAM

　　I'm glad.

　　DAISY

　　Friends?

　　WILLIAM

　　Always friends.

　　[Daisy happily watches him go.]
