Downton Abbey

May 1914. Encouraged by politically aware chauffeur Tom Branson, the socially conscious Lady Sybil espouses politics as a means of aiding equality for women and the lower classes, to her father's anger. At a political meeting she is injured in a scuffle and rescued by Matthew. A grateful Lady Mary accepts Matthew's proposal of marriage but tells her mother she feels she should come clean about Kemal to him. Rumours about this indiscretion are now rife and Cora tells her mother-in-law how she helped Mary move the body. Edith continues to see more and more of Sir Anthony whilst O'Brien and Thomas continue to persecute John. They tell Carson they saw him steal wine and get Daisy to support them. However Daisy does the decent thing and admits she was put up to it. Bizarrely, John, though he knows Thomas to be the wine thief, offers no explanation, confessing to being a former alcoholic and offering his resignation.

Who's going to tell them? You?

#2

Typical Branson to be there.

#3

You know what these things can be like. I do.

#4

Oh, Granny! I knew you wouldn't approve. Which, presumably,

#5 #6 #7

Is there anything you want me to do about it?

#8

Well, he can't, can he? Not if we get in first.

#9

Robert.

#10

He's been in Austria and Germany.

#11 #12

But a poet in need of an empire.

#13 #14

When you put it like that, of course you wouldn't.

#15 #16

You should ask Mr Carson, My Lady. It's not my place to tell.

#17

Talking of sunny, are you looking forward to your coming season?

#18

But then, I like a good argument. Papa does not.

#19

Start there. 'I am sorry...'

#20

She couldn't manage it alone. So, how did she do it?

#21 #22

Can't you just explain about Thomas? No, no.

#23

We don't think our dreams are bound to come true, because...

#24

Well, I thought I'd make a last hot poultice for Diamond.

#25

I'm glad to catch you.

#26

Where to from here, My Lady?

#27

But I'd love to. Shouldn't you ask what sort of concert it is?

#28

You're always dozy, but tonight you make Sleeping Beauty look alert.

My God!

#32 #33

There are plenty of children in grander circumstances who'd love to say the same.

#34

Mr Carson, have you got a minute? What is it, Daisy?

#35

I'm not sure Papa knows the difference.

#36

None of it! Until he set foot in our house.

#37

Not really. But I'm glad I was there. So am I, by heaven.

#38

I don't think I was wrong, no.

#39

Are you?

#40

But, if you were to proceed with the matter, you would find them to be proven.

#41

Perhaps not. But it's enough of it to demand...

#42

When you laugh with me or... flirt with me...

#43

As fresh as the day they were spoken.

#44

Because there isn't one.

#45

Heavens! What did they put in them I'm serious.

#46

Oh, my darling!
