 　　唐顿庄园第二季第二集_13

　　[INT. DRAWING ROOM - EVENING]

　　[Edith talks with Lavinia, Isobel speaks with Robert and Cora, and Matthew talks with Mary.]

　　EDITH

　　Today I drove the tractor...

　　ISOBEL CRAWLEY

　　More serious than her [?], surely not.

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　I think it's given us all..

　　MATTHEW CRAWLEY

　　Edith seems jolly tonight.

　　LADY MARY

　　She's found her metier. Farm labouring.

　　MATTHEW CRAWLEY

　　Don't be so tough on her.

　　LADY MARY

　　That's like asking the fox to spare the chicken

　　[Matthew chuckles¹.]

　　MATTHEW CRAWLEY

　　What about you? Last time, you told me good news was imminent².

　　LADY MARY

　　Would you be happy if it were?

　　MATTHEW CRAWLEY

　　Of course. I've found someone now. And I want you to do the same. [Mary smiles politely.]

　　[INT. KITCHENS - EVENING]

　　WILLIAM

　　"If you had taken another minute to make up your mind, sir, we'd all have marched over the cliff."

　　[The servants laugh at William's tale.]

　　WILLIAM

　　And I'll tell you something else as well--

　　[Daisy walks up to Mrs Patmore.]

　　MRS PATMORE

　　William's got more to say than a [?] candidate.

　　[Daisy stands there nervously³, bursting to say something.]

　　MRS PATMORE

　　What's the matter?

　　DAISY

　　I know it's my fault, but I wish I hadn't let him think that we're, like, sweethearts. Because we're not. Not by my reckoning, anyway.

　　MRS PATMORE

　　Huh. Too late for second thoughts now, missy. Now, you don't have to marry him when it comes to it, but you can't let him go to war with a broken heart or he won't come back.

　　[INT. LADY MARY'S BEDROOM - NIGHT]

　　LADY MARY

　　What a time we've had. Poor Sir Richard must've thought he'd come to a madhouse.

　　ANNA

　　I don't expect it'll put him off.

　　LADY MARY

　　I'm going to accept him. Do you think I should?

　　ANNA

　　That's not for me to say. If you love him more than anyone in the world, then of course you should.

　　LADY MARY

　　It's not as simple as that.

　　ANNA

　　Oh? It is for me. But then, I'm not Your Ladyship.

　　LADY MARY

　　Did you love Bates more than anyone else in the world?

　　ANNA

　　I did. I do. I'll never love again like I love him. Never.

　　LADY MARY

　　Well, there you are then. One day you'll meet someone else and you'll marry. Perhaps it'll second best, but it doesn't mean you can't have a life.

　　ANNA

　　I think it does. For me.

　　[INT. DINING ROOM - MORNING]

　　[Carson serves the family breakfast.]

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　Are you sure you should be doing this, Carson? We've managed very well with Mrs Hughes.

　　MR CARSON

　　Quite sure, my lord. And breakfast is not a taxing assignment.

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　Edith, this is a message for you. Mrs Drake writes that they've decided⁴ to hire a man, so they won't be needing you anymore.

　　[Edith is stunned⁵.]

　　LADY EDITH

　　Is that all she says?

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　Oh, well, she's very grateful...Here we are. She says "[She and Drake] send their thanks to you for giving up so much of your valuable time." I expect it's rather a relief.

　　LADY EDITH

　　Oh, I wouldn't say that. Not entirely⁶.

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　Has Lady Sybil gone already?

　　MR CARSON

　　She had a half past six.

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　She would.

　　[Edith is still trying to process the blow.]

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　Carson, have they told you we're to be turned into a hospital?

　　LADY MARY

　　A convalescent home. I'm afraid we've all bullied⁷ you into the whole thing. I hope you're not dreading⁸ it too much.

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　Not dreading it, exactly, but it's a brave new world we're headed for, no doubt about that. We must try to meet it with as much grace as we can muster⁹.

　　[Robert opens the rest of his post. Edith is still reeling.]
