 　　唐顿庄园第二季第七集_5

　　[INT. DOWNTON - DAY]

　　LADY MARY

　　But Carson, if you're abandoning me, I think I deserve¹ to know the reason why.

　　MR CARSON

　　I do not believe that Sir Richard and I would work well together.

　　LADY MARY

　　But there must be more to it than that. You knew what Sir Richard was like. We were to educate him together, you and I. Wasn't that the plan?

　　MR CARSON

　　Sir Richard offered Anna a sum of money to report your activities to him. Whom you saw, what you said...

　　LADY MARY

　　He wanted her to spy on me.

　　MR CARSON

　　Naturally, he used a different word.

　　LADY MARY

　　Naturally. And she refused?

　　MR CARSON

　　She refused, and she reported the offer to Mrs Hughes and me.

　　LADY MARY

　　Well, I wish she'd come to me first. So, you mean you'd be uncomfortable working for a spymaster? How disappointing of you. And I always thought you were fond of me.

　　[Carson is shocked. Carlisle enters from outside.]

　　SIR RICHARD CARLISLE

　　Ah, there you are. I had a quick walk before dinner.

　　LADY MARY

　　We ought to get changed first.

　　MR CARSON

　　Will that be all, my lady? Yes, Carson. Thank you. I think that will be all. Carson has decided² not to come with us to Hacksby.

　　SIR RICHARD CARLISLE

　　Ah, I'm sorry. Is there anything I can say to change your mind?

　　MR CARSON

　　I'm afraid not, sir.

　　[Carson leaves.]

　　SIR RICHARD CARLISLE

　　What a shame. LADY MARY

　　Not really. Butlers will be two a penny now they're all back from the war.

　　[Mr Carson hears that just before he closes the door.]

　　[INT. DISH CUPBOARD - EVENING]

　　[Robert turns the corner and is surprised to find Jane.]

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　I gather Carson was looking for me.

　　JANE

　　Erm, sh--shall I go and find him, milord?

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　It's all right. Tell him I'll be in the dressing⁴ room. Has he done the red wine yet?

　　JANE

　　Er, it's over here, milord.

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　Ah. I'm pleased.

　　[Robert walks into the cupboard to look at the wine.]

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　It's a new one on me. I had some at a dinner in London and ordered it. Carson thought we might try it tonight.

　　[Jane nods.]

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　Well, I better go up.

　　JANE

　　You made me sad yesterday, wondering what the war was for.

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　Oh, don't listen to me. I'm a foolish man who's lost his way and don't quite know how to find it again.

　　[Robert thinks for a moment, looking down at Jane, who is standing⁵ just within kissing distance. He leans forward and grabs⁶ her suddenly and kisses her. She makes slightly desperate noises as he kisses her, not knowing exactly what to do. He lets her go.]

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　I'm terribly sorry. Please try to forgive me.

　　[Robert starts to walk off.]

　　JANE

　　I do forgive you.

　　[He pauses for a moment, and then continues walking. Jane rushes down to the servants' corridor⁷ and meets Mr Carson.]

　　JANE

　　Oh, Mr Carson, er, His Lordship said you were looking for him.

　　MR CARSON

　　And?

　　JANE

　　And, er...w-- I was to say that you'd find him in the dressing room.

　　MR CARSON

　　What's the matter with you?

　　JANE

　　Nothing.

　　[Jane rushes off and slips by Anna in the corridor.]

　　[INT. LORD³ GRANTHAM'S DRESSING ROOM - EVENING]

　　MR CARSON

　　I wrestled⁸ with it, my lord, I don't mind admitting. And I wanted to be there to help Lady Mary, and--

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　And protect her from Sir Richard.

　　MR CARSON

　　Well, I...wouldn't quite have put it like that, but...yes, I suppose. Only--

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　Only you felt you couldn't work for a man who would offer a bribe⁹.

　　MR CARSON

　　That is correct, my lord.

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　Are you quite sure you won't regret it? I know how fond you are of Lady Mary.

　　MR CARSON

　　But I couldn't work for a man that I don't respect, and I certainly couldn't have left Downton for him.

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　I shall take that as a compliment¹⁰, for myself and for my house.
