　　[EXT. DOWNTON ABBEY, GROUNDS - DAY]

　　[Mary pushes Matthew‘s wheelchair across the grounds.]

　　LADY MARY

　　I shall have arms like Jack¹ Johnson if I‘m not careful.

　　MATTHEW CRAWLEY

　　I‘m strong enough to wheel myself.

　　LADY MARY

　　I‘ll be the judge of that.

　　[They pass a couple of officers with a nurse.]

　　OFFICER

　　Morning.

　　MATTHEW CRAWLEY

　　I keep thinking about William. How he should be here. Not exactly instead of me, but

　　sacrifice should be rewarded. He was the brave one.

　　LADY MARY

　　You were both brave. And I don‘t think we can ―should‖ about things that happen in war.

　　It just happens. And we should live with it.

　　[Carlisle and Robert watch them from the house window.]

　　SIR RICHARD CARLISLE

　　Ought I to be jealous?

　　[Robert doesn‘t reply.]

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　I‘m sorry, what were we talking about?

　　SIR RICHARD CARLISLE

　　I was asking about Hacksby Park. I‘m taking Mary over there tomorrow.

　　LADY EDITH

　　Our Hacksby Park? Why? Are the Russells selling?

　　SIR RICHARD CARLISLE

　　Not officially, but I‘m told they‘re open to offers.

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　Sad. The Russells and the Crawleys have been neighbours for centuries.

　　SIR RICHARD CARLISLE

　　They're not living there anymore.

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　It'll be strange for Mary. She's been going to that house ever since she was a little girl

　　in a party dress.

　　LADY EDITH

　　We all have

　　SIR RICHARD CARLISLE

　　There's nowhere better near Downton.

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　I'm not sure how comfortable it is.

　　SIR RICHARD CARLISLE

　　Well,  it will  be comfortable  when  I'm  finished with  it.  Central  heating, modern

　　kitchens, bathrooms with every bedroom. It's all possible.

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　Sounds more like an hotel.

　　[Mr Carson enters to introduce a visitor.]

　　MR CARSON

　　Major Clarkson.

　　DR CLARKSON

　　Good morning Lord Grantham. Lady Edith. Sir. [Nods to each of them.

　　DR CLARKSON

　　We've had a request. A Canadian major has asked to come here because of a family link with

　　the house. We've taken officers from his regiment² before, but I wanted to be sure you had

　　no objection.

　　LADY EDITH

　　What's his name?

　　DR CLARKSON

　　Gordon.  Patrick  Gordon.  He  was  with  Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry³ at

　　Passchendaele, caught in a blast and burned rather badly, I believe.

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　Poor fellow. Well, he's perfectly⁴ welcome. I'm not aware of how we are connected, but you

　　never know.

　　DR CLARKSON

　　Sir.

　　[Clarkson nods and exits.]

　　[INT. SERVANTS' HALL - DAY]

　　JANE

　　I've never worked in a house where a valet and a housemaid were wed⁵.

　　ANNA

　　It'll be unusual, I agree.

　　O'BRIEN

　　Hope it doesn't break us up, having you two set apart in a home of your own all special

　　while the rest of us muddle⁶ on for ourselves.

　　ANNA

　　You sound as if you're jealous.

　　O'BRIEN

　　I'm not jealous. I just don't want it to spoil things.

　　MR BATES

　　Why? Because we've all been such pals⁷ until now?

　　[Daisy enters with a tray, a black mourning band on her arm. She sees them look at her for

　　a moment and she exits without a word.]

　　ANNA

　　Give her time.

　　[INT. CRAWLEY HOUSE - DAY]

　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　Matthew's making such progress.

　　ISOBEL CRAWLEY

　　I think so. But are we doing enough for him, for all of them, when it comes to

　　rehabilitation⁸? They're going to have to face a very different world after the war.

　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　I agree. But they'll all be leaving Downton soon.

　　ISOBEL CRAWLEY

　　Leaving?

　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　Well, Turkey's about to capitulate, and Robert says Vittorio Veneto will finish Austria.

　　So, it's only a matter of weeks, even days, before it's over. We wouldn't send anyone home

　　too soon, of course, but sometime in the new year, we will have our house back.

　　ISOBEL CRAWLEY

　　So you want it just to be a private house again?

　　VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　Well, shouldn't she? Or would you like to abolish private houses?

　　ISOBEL CRAWLEY

　　Well, that life of changing clothes and killing⁹ things and eating them, do you really want

　　it again? Wouldn't you rather Downton was useful?

　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　Oh, but it-- the house is useful. We provide employment and--

　　ISOBEL CRAWLEY

　　Oh, please. Let me look into keeping it open as a centre of recovery.

　　[Violet and Cora gape¹⁰ at Isobel.]

　　ISOBEL CRAWLEY

　　I could run it. The house could be so much more than it was before.

　　VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　What about you, Molesley? Are you looking forward to this brave new world of Mrs Crawley's

　　imaginings?

　　MR MOLESLEY

　　I'm glad of my job, milady, and I should very much like to hold onto it, with Mrs Crawley's

　　permission.

　　[Violet smiles as Molesley exits.]

　　ISOBEL CRAWLEY

　　Servants are always far more conservative than their employers. Everyone knows that.

　　VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　Then I must be the exception that proves the rule.
