　　[INT. KITCHENS - DAY]

　　O'BRIEN

　　Mr Carson doesn't like the smell of cleaning materials in the servants' hall, not just before luncheon¹.

　　ETHEL

　　Go on, Miss O'Brien, we don't want to be unfriendly, do we?

　　O'BRIEN

　　You obviously don't

　　[O'Brien sees Lang's fingers shaking as he struggles to put the cap on the cleaner bottle.]

　　O'BRIEN

　　Nevermind. Finish it now you're started, but don't blame me if Mr Carson takes a bite out of you.

　　[Lang puts the bottle back on the table. Mr Molesley clears his throat as he enters.]

　　MR MOLESLEY

　　Hello, Mr Lang. Everything all right?

　　MR LANG

　　Why do you say that?

　　MR MOLESLEY

　　No reason. I only meant I hope you're enjoying yourself. I know I would be in your shoes.

　　O'BRIEN

　　You never tried for the job, did you?

　　MR MOLESLEY

　　I never got the chance. I no sooner heard that Mr Bates was gone when he arrived.

　　[Molesley laughs, but no on joins in.]

　　O'BRIEN

　　What brings you here, Mr Molesley?

　　MR MOLESLEY

　　I was wondering if Anna was anywhere around.

　　ETHEL

　　I could find her if you like.

　　MR MOLESLEY

　　Oh, no. Just give her this.

　　[He holds out a book and puts it on the table.]

　　MR MOLESLEY

　　We were talking about it the other day. I came across a copy in Ripon.

　　[Molesley leaves and Ethel picks up the book to read the title.]

　　ETHEL

　　Elizabeth and Her German Garden. Whatever's that about?

　　O'BRIEN

　　It's about an invitation to talk some more, that's what.

　　[DOWNTON COTTAGE HOSPITAL - DAY]

　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　Goodbye, Dr Clarkson.

　　[Cora starts walking away.]

　　DR CLARKSON

　　Lady Grantham.

　　[She stops and Clarkson walks out to her.]

　　DR CLARKSON

　　I'd love to help, but it's not within my power to hook² men from hither and thither³ as I please.

　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　It's not at all what I was asking.

　　DR CLARKSON

　　Forgive me, but I thought you were saying that you wanted Corporal Barrow to come and work here when he's fully⁴ recovered.

　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　I think it a credit to him that he wants to continue to serve in this way. After he's been wounded.

　　DR CLARKSON

　　Well, that it may be, but it's not for me to decide what happens next.

　　[Cora nods disappointedly and leaves.]

　　[INT. SERVANTS' HALL - DAY]

　　[Mr Carson struggles to open a bottle of wine. He has to stop to take a breath.]

　　ANNA

　　Mr Carson, are you quite well?

　　MR CARSON

　　Oh, leave me alone.

　　[He struggles some more and pulls the cork⁵ out of the bottle.]

　　[INT. DINING ROOM - DAY]

　　[Mr Carson serves the family luncheon.]

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　But after twenty-four hours, it just doesn't do it.

　　[Carson bumps⁶ into Violet's chair.]

　　VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　Are you all right, Carson?

　　MR CARSON

　　Of course. That is, er, perfectly⁷ all right, Your Ladyship, thank you.

　　[Mr Carson goes to pour Robert a glass, but he holds up his hand.]

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　Er, no.

　　LADY EDITH

　　Cousin Isobel says Matthew's coming home in a fortnight. He's touring England with some general.

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　We'll have a dinner when he's here.

　　[Mr Carson stops to look at Robert. He's not pleased.]

　　LADY MARY

　　I was going to ask Richard Carlisle about then. For Saturday to Monday.

　　[Carson takes a breath at the thought of another dinner.]

　　VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　You be careful, Mary. Sir Richard Mustn't think you're after him.

　　LADY SYBIL

　　Isn't that the truth?

　　VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　The truth is neither here nor there. It's the look of the thing that matters. Ask Rosamund. It'll take the edge off it.

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　Well, that'd be nice. Like before the war.

　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　How can we manage a great pre-war house party without a single footman?

　　VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　My dear, Rosamund is not a house party. She's blood.

　　LADY EDITH

　　I saw Mrs Drake when I went into the village. The wife of John Drake, who has Long Field Farm.

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　Yes. What did she have to say?

　　LADY EDITH

　　Apparently⁸ their final able-bodied farmhand has been called up. They need a man to drive the tractor.

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　Well, hasn't Drake recovered from his illness? I thought he was better.

　　LADY EDITH

　　No, he is. He's much, much better. But he doesn't drive. So I told her I could do it.

　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　What?

　　LADY EDITH

　　I said I could drive the tractor.

　　VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　Edith! You are a lady, not Toad⁹ of Toad Hall.

　　LADY EDITH

　　Well, I'm doing it.

　　[Mary and Robert smile at her determination.]

　　[EXT. LONG FIELD FARM - DAY]

　　[Edith cycles to the farm.]

　　LADY EDITH

　　Don't look so bewildered¹⁰. It's simple. I will drive the tractor.

　　MRS DRAKE

　　Well, can you do that?

　　LADY EDITH

　　Absolutely. Can you hitch¹¹ up the plough or whatever it is I'm dragging?

　　JOHN DRAKE

　　Of course.

　　LADY EDITH

　　When would you like me to start?

　　MRS DRAKE (laughs in shock)

　　Well, I better get you something to wear, then.
