 　　唐顿庄园第一季第三集_7

　　[INT. CORRIDOR - DAWN]

　　[Mary, Anna, and Cora carry the body in a sheet. They talk in whispers.]

　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　Hurry, the servants will be up soon.

　　ANNA

　　We've got time.

　　[Mary stumbles and drops Pamuk's feet.]

　　LADY MARY

　　Mama!

　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　Sorry!

　　[They shift positions as they reach the guest bedroom door. Mary drops Pamuk's feet again. Daisy sees them in the corridor as they carry the body into the room. She shrinks back into the  servants' corridor.]

　　[INT. GUEST BEDROOM - DAWN]

　　[The women situate Pamuk under his bed covers and Cora takes the sheet they carried him in. Mary tries to close his eyes, but they keep popping open.]

　　LADY MARY (weeping)

　　I can't make his eyes stay shut.

　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　Leave that and come away.

　　[Anna turns the light out.]

　　LADY MARY

　　He was so beautiful.

　　ANNA

　　Her Ladyship's right. We must get back to our rooms.

　　[Mary and Anna walk to Cora at the door.]

　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　I feel now that I can never forgive what you have put me through this night. I hope in time I will come to be more merciful, but I doubt it.

　　[Mary nods.]

　　LADY MARY

　　You won't tell Papa?

　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　Since it would probably kill him, and certainly ruin his life, I will not. But I keep this secret for his sake, not for yours.

　　LADY MARY

　　Yes, Mama.

　　[Mary looks down in acceptance and shame. Cora hands the bed sheet to Anna.]

　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　Anna, I will not insult you by asking that you also conceal¹ Lady Mary's shame. Let us go.

　　[They exit and Anna blows out the candle before she closes the door.]

　　[INT. BACHELOR'S CORRIDOR - MORNING]

　　[Thomas brings a breakfast tray to Pamuk's room. He knocks before entering and stops short when he sees Pamuk dead in the bed.]

　　[INT. GREAT HALL - MORNING]

　　[Napier sees Mary as she descends² the stairs.]

　　EVELYN NAPIER

　　I imagine you've heard what's happened?

　　LADY MARY

　　Yes.

　　EVELYN NAPIER

　　Terrible thing. Awful. Ghastly for your parents. I don't suppose I shall ever make it up to them.

　　LADY MARY

　　It wasn't your fault.

　　EVELYN NAPIER

　　Well, I brought him here. If it isn't my fault, whose is it?

　　[Mary is clearly uncomfortable. Her eyes are red from crying.]

　　EVELYN NAPIER

　　I was wondering if you might show me the gardens before I go. We could get some fresh air.

　　LADY MARY

　　I won't, if you'll forgive me. I ought to s--stay and help Mama.

　　EVELYN NAPIER

　　Of course.

　　[Napier nods and turns round to leave, but stops and turns back.]

　　EVELYN NAPIER

　　I am so sorry about all this. I've told your father I'll deal with the embassy. There won't be any more annoyance³ for you.

　　LADY MARY

　　Thank you.

　　EVELYN NAPIER

　　Actually, he was a terribly nice fellow. I wish I could have known him better.

　　[Mary begins to cry again.]

　　EVELYN NAPIER

　　I took him on as a duty, but I liked him more and more the longer I knew him.

　　[Mary covers her mouth as she cries.]

　　EVELYN NAPIER

　　Perhaps you saw his qualities for yourself.

　　[Mary goes back upstairs crying.]

　　EVELYN NAPIER

　　Which obviously you did.

　　[INT. SERVANTS' CORRIDOR/KITCHENS - DAY]

　　WILLIAM

　　I had an uncle who went like that. Finished his cocoa, closed his book and fell back dead on the pillow.

　　THOMAS

　　I don't think Mr Pamuk bothered with cocoa much, or books. He had other interests.

　　WILLIAM

　　I meant, you can go just like that.

　　[William snaps his fingers.]

　　WILLIAM

　　With no reason.

　　GWEN

　　Well, that's why you should treat every day as if it were your last.

　　THOMAS

　　Well, we couldn't criticise⁴ Mr Pamuk where that's concerned.

　　DAISY

　　What do you mean?

　　THOMAS

　　Nothing. Careful with that.

　　[Daisy stares after Thomas as she absentmindedly stirs a bowl. Anna walks upstairs. Gwen is following when Sybil appears around the corner of the servants' hall with a newspaper in her hands.]

　　LADY SYBIL

　　Gwen, are you busy?

　　GWEN

　　Your Ladyship?

　　[Sybil steps back into the servants' hall and Gwen joins her.]

　　LADY SYBIL

　　I saw this.

　　[Sybil shows Gwen the newspaper.]

　　LADY SYBIL

　　It came out yesterday, look. It's for a secretary at a new firm in Thirsk. See?

　　GWEN

　　But...I don't understand. How did you know?

　　LADY SYBIL

　　That you want to leave? Carson told my father.

　　GWEN

　　And you don't mind?

　　LADY SYBIL

　　Why should I? I think it's terrific that people make their own lives, especially women. Write to them today and name me as your reference. I can give it without ever specifying⁵ precisely⁶ what your work here has been.

　　[Sybil turns to leave.]

　　GWEN

　　Milady...thank you.

　　[Sybil nods with a smile and leaves.]
