 　　唐顿庄园第二季第五集_2

　　[EXT. COURTYARD - MORNING]

　　[Anna walks into the courtyard where Bates is shining shoes.]

　　ANNA

　　Lady Edith's back. William was caught in it. He's gone to some hospital in Leeds.

　　MR BATES

　　I'm very sorry.

　　ANNA

　　I might've known. We couldn't be the only household left untouched.

　　MR BATES

　　Will he come through it?

　　ANNA

　　Her Ladyship said it sounded bad, but we don't know more than that. Can you walk with me to the church this afternoon?

　　MR BATES

　　If you want me to.

　　ANNA

　　Because I'd like to say a prayer for them. For both of them.

　　[INT. DOWNTON COTTAGE HOSPITAL - DAY]

　　DR CLARKSON

　　We only cater¹ for officers.

　　VIOLET², DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　Dr Clarkson, I am no Jacobean revolutionary, nor do I seek to overthrow³ the civilised world. We just need one bed for a young man from this village.

　　DR CLARKSON

　　And if it were within my power, you should have it.

　　VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　Sir, you don't understand. William's father cannot afford to leave his farm and move to Leeds.

　　DR CLARKSON

　　I'm very sorry. Really. But this is a military hospital, and it's not up to me to challenge the order of things.

　　LADY EDITH

　　I'll nurse him. I'm happy to do it. It wouldn't add to your work load.

　　DR CLARKSON

　　If I were to break the rule for you, how many others do you think would come forward to plead⁴ for their sons? The answer is, and must be, "no".

　　[Violet and Edith leave the hospital.]

　　VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　It always happens. When you give these little people power, it goes to their heads like strong drink.

　　[INT. SERVANTS' HALL - DAY]

　　THOMAS

　　I'm sorry for him. I am. I don't mind Captain Crawley. He's a better man than most of them.

　　O'BRIEN

　　And William, too. He's not a bad lad, whatever you say. I wish I'd not written that letter to Bates's wife telling her he's back here.

　　THOMAS

　　What's that got to do with it?

　　O'BRIEN

　　With everything else going on, I know she'll come up here and make trouble.

　　THOMAS

　　Don't blame me, it wasn't my idea. [Daisy comes in with some food.]

　　O'BRIEN

　　Any news?

　　DAISY

　　Only that the doctor won't let William come to the village.

　　O'BRIEN

　　He never.

　　DAISY

　　It's for officers only, he says.

　　MRS PATMORE

　　His poor father's staying there with him, spending money he's not got, and travelling miles to do it.

　　DAISY

　　It's not right.

　　THOMAS

　　No, it bloody⁵ well isn't.

　　[Everyone stares at him.]

　　THOMAS

　　Well, I'm a working-class lad and so is he, and I get fed up seeing how our lot always gets shafted⁶.

　　[INT. LADY MARY'S BEDROOM - DAY]

　　[Mary rifles⁷ through her sewing kit⁸.]

　　LADY MARY

　　I thought I'd take some things down to the hospital. Then I can wait and sit with him when he arrives. I've read somewhere that it's very important not to leave them alone when they're first wounded so no sign goes unnoticed. They can't spare a nurse to watch over every man, so that's what I can do.

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　Your mother's written to Lavinia.

　　LADY MARY

　　Good. Yes. I'm glad someone's thought of that. She must stay here and not be at Isobel's by herself.

　　[Surprised by her composed reaction, Robert regards Mary.]

　　LADY MARY

　　What?

　　[Robert realises his daughter really loves Matthew, enough to accept giving him up to Lavinia.]

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　Nothing.

　　[INT. CHURCH - DAY]

　　MR BATES

　　You should've had a church wedding.

　　ANNA

　　Don't be silly.

　　MR BATES

　　No, I mean it. You in a white dress, me looking like a fool.

　　ANNA

　　I'd rather have the right man that the right wedding.

　　MR BATES

　　Well, it won't be long now.

　　ANNA

　　How long?

　　MR BATES

　　Hard to say. But don't worry, the decree⁹ means we're safe. The decree absolute's only formality. I'm just sorry it costs so much.

　　ANNA

　　She could've had my shoes and the shirt off my back if it would only make her go away for good.

　　MR BATES

　　She's gone now.

　　ANNA

　　I suppose I could feel guilty in my happiness, knowing the troubles they're all facing back at home. But, in another way, it only makes me more grateful. Let's pray. Let's pray together.

　　[They approach and kneel¹⁰ on the bench and hold hands for a moment before they turn to the altar and pray.]
