　　[EXT. VILLAGE ROAD - DAY]

　　MATTHEW CRAWLEY

　　Hello. Is everything all right?

　　LADY MARY

　　Oh, hello. I'm about to send a telegram

　　MATTHEW CRAWLEY

　　Oh.

　　LADY MARY

　　Papa's sister is always nagging¹ him to send supplies to London, and then we cable² her so her butler can be at King's Cross to meet them. It's idiotic³, really.

　　MATTHEW CRAWLEY

　　Is this Lady Rosamund Painswick?

　　LADY MARY

　　You have done your homework.

　　MATTHEW CRAWLEY

　　She wrote to welcome me into the family, which I thought pretty generous, given the circumstances.

　　LADY MARY

　　It's easy to be generous when you have nothing to lose. So, you doing any more church visiting with Edith?

　　MATTHEW CRAWLEY

　　My mother's trying to set something up.

　　LADY MARY

　　Well, watch out. I think she has big plans for you.

　　MATTHEW CRAWLEY

　　Then she's in for an equally big disappointment.

　　[INT. LADY SYBIL'S BEDROOM - MORNING]

　　DAISY

　　Is it all right to do the fire?

　　ANNA

　　Why are you so late?

　　DAISY

　　I went back to my room after I'd woken everyone and I just shut my eyes for a moment. I've been trying to catch up ever since.

　　ANNA

　　Have you had any breakfast?

　　DAISY

　　Not a crumb⁴.

　　ANNA

　　Here.

　　GWEN

　　Wait—you can't take a biscuit.

　　ANNA

　　She never eats them. None of them do. Just thrown away and changed every evening.

　　DAISY

　　Thanks. She won't mind anyway. She's nice, Lady Sybil.

　　MR CARSON

　　Gwen' May I ask why you're sitting on Lady Sybil's bed?

　　GWEN

　　Well, you see, I had a turn - like a burst of sickness - just sudden like. I had to sit down.

　　ANNA

　　It's true.

　　MR CARSON

　　You better go and lie down. I'll tell Mrs Hughes.

　　GWEN

　　I don't need to interrupt her morning. I'm sure I'll be fine if I could just put my feet up.

　　MR CARSON

　　And how many bedrooms have you still got to do?

　　ANNA

　　Just one. Lady Edith.

　　MR CARSON

　　And you can manage on your own?

　　ANNA

　　Well, she's no use to man or beast in that state. Go on. Shoo.

　　[Gwen leaves.]

　　MR CARSON

　　Daisy, may I ask why you're holding Lady Sybil's biscuit jar?

　　DAISY

　　Er...I was just polishing it before I put it back.

　　MR CARSON

　　See that you do.

　　[INT. KITCHENS - DAY]

　　MRS PATMORE

　　I'm sorry, but I can't do more than my best.

　　MRS HUGHES

　　Is there some difficulty Your Ladyship?

　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　Dear Mrs Hughes, as you know, we're giving dinner on Friday for Sir Anthony Strallan.

　　MRS HUGHES

　　Yes, milady.

　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　Well, it seems he's particularly fond of a certain new pudding. It's called Apple Charlotte. Do you know it?

　　MRS HUGHES

　　I—I'm not sure.

　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　His sister, Mrs Chetwood, sent me the receipt⁵. I'm trying to persuade Mrs Patmore to make it.

　　MRS PATMORE

　　And I'm trying to persuade Her Ladyship that I have already planned the dinner with her, and I can't change it now.

　　MRS HUGHES

　　Why not?

　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　Because everything's been ordered and prepared.

　　MRS HUGHES

　　Well, there's nothing here that looks very complicated⁶. Apples, lemons, butter...

　　MRS PATMORE

　　I cannot work from a new receipt at a moment's notice!

　　DAISY

　　But I can read it to you, if that's the problem.

　　MRS PATMORE

　　Problem' Who mentioned a problem? How dare you say such a thing in front of Her Ladyship?

　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　Very well. We'll try it another time when you've had longer to prepare. We'll stay  with the raspberry meringue.

　　MRS HUGHES

　　And very nice it'll be, too.

　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　I'm sure.

　　MRS PATMORE

　　Have you taken leave of your senses?

　　MRS HUGHES

　　I'm so sorry about that, milady.

　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　Never mind. I was asking a lot. Do look after that girl.

　　MRS HUGHES

　　Daisy? She's used to it. She'll be all right.

　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　I wonder. Mrs Patmore looks ready to eat her alive.

　　DAISY

　　I was only try to help.

　　MRS PATMORE

　　Oh! Judas was only trying to help, I suppose, when he brought the Roman soldiers to the garden!

　　[EXT. COUNTRY ROAD - DAY]

　　GWEN

　　Well, I had to let the skirt down a little, but I can put it back.

　　LADY SYBIL

　　No, it's yours. What will happen if one of the maids finds your room is empty?

　　GWEN

　　Oh, it would only be Anna, and she wouldn't give me away. She's like a sister. She'd never

　　betray⁷ me.

　　LADY SYBIL

　　Oh, well, then she's not like my sisters. Walk on.
