　　[INT. DINING ROOM - MORNING]

　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　Where are the girls?

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　I suppose Sybil's still ill and the others just haven't appeared.

　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　I hope they're not coming down with anything. The stories of this Spanish flu are too awful.

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　No, it's nothing of the sort. Why are you up so early?

　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　I'm meeting Isobel. She wants me to help with her refugees.

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　I thought the whole point of Mama arranging that was to keep her out of your hair.

　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　I know. But now the soldiers are, I do have a lot of time on my hands, and maybe I can be useful.

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　Why is it different from before the war?

　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　Well, I don't know exactly, it just is. Maybe the war's changed me. I guess it's changed everybody.

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　Not me.

　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　Don't be too sure.

　　[Cora gives him a kiss on the cheek before she heads out.]

　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　If I'm not back before luncheon¹, don't wait.

　　[Mr Carson removes a breakfast dish.]

　　MR CARSON

　　I'll take this down to keep it hot, my lord.

　　[Robert sits at the table by himself, depressed². Jane inches into the room.]

　　JANE

　　I wanted to catch you alone.

　　[Robert is startled by her presence.]

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　Oh?

　　[Jane checks behind her and then approaches him at the table.]

　　JANE

　　Yes. You see, I think you might be happier if I tendered my resignation.

　　[Robert stands up.]

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　What?

　　JANE

　　I'd hate you to be uncomfortable in your own house, and--

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　I won't hear of it.

　　JANE

　　But I know--

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　You won't be deprived of your livelihood³ because I behaved in an un-gentlemanly manner. The fault was entirely⁴ mine. You will not pay the price.

　　[They hear a noise from the servants' entrance and Jane runs out just as Carson appears around the screen. Robert picks up a letter and pretends to read it as he sits back down.]

　　[INT. THOMAS'S SHED - DAY]

　　[Thomas enters, takes off his hat, pulls out a knife and slashes⁵ open a few of the food packages. He proceeds to trash the shed, yelling. Eventually he slumps⁶ into a pile.]

　　[INT. CRAWLEY HOUSE - DAY]

　　[Isobel walks in with Mary‘s good luck charm.]

　　ISOBEL CRAWLEY

　　Is this yours? Molesley found it in your dressing⁷ room. It‘s not one of your old toys, is it? Because I don‘t recognise it.

　　MATTHEW

　　No, it was given to me as a charm, I think, to take to the front.

　　ISOBEL CRAWLEY

　　Well, you‘re home and safe now. Shall I put it in the barrel for the village children?

　　MATTHEW

　　No.

　　[Matthew grabs the toy dog from her and Isobel and Lavinia stare at him.]

　　MATTHEW

　　You never know. It might be bad luck not to keep it.

　　[Isobel smiles and Lavinia smiles back at her.]

　　ISOBEL CRAWLEY

　　Luncheon‘ll be ready soon.

　　[Isobel exits and Matthew puts the dog in his pocket.]

　　[INT. THOMAS'S SHED - DAY]

　　THOMAS

　　It's all rubbish. It's all bloody⁸ rubbish.

　　O'BRIEN

　　Can't you ask for your money back?

　　THOMAS

　　Oh, yes. Of course I can ask, and a fat lot of good that'll do.

　　O'BRIEN

　　You must challenge him.

　　THOMAS

　　How? I only ever met him in a pub. I wouldn't know where to find him!

　　O'BRIEN

　　But, surely--

　　THOMAS

　　woman! I've been tricked! Been had! Been taken for the fool I am.

　　[Thomas sits down for a smoke.]

　　O'BRIEN

　　How much did he get from you?

　　THOMAS

　　Every penny I had. And then some.

　　O'BRIEN

　　What are you going to do now?

　　THOMAS

　　I don't know. I don't bloody know.
