　　[INT. VILLAGE HALL - DAY]

　　LADY SYBIL

　　Have you recovered from our ordeal¹?

　　GWEN

　　Well, I got a letter this morning. They must've written it as soon as I left the office. They are  pleased to have met me, but I do not quite fit their requirements. So, it was all for nothing.

　　LADY SYBIL

　　I don't agree.

　　GWEN

　　Only a fool doesn't know when they've been beaten.

　　LADY SYBIL

　　Then I'm a fool for I'm a long way from being beaten yet.

　　[Applause.]

　　VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　And now, for the first three...

　　LADY MARY

　　When you ran off last night, I hope you hadn't thought me rude.

　　MATTHEW CRAWLEY

　　Certainly not, I monopolised you at dinner, I had no right to any more of your time.

　　LADY MARY

　　You see, Edith and I had this sort of bet—

　　MATTHEW CRAWLEY

　　Oh, please, don't apologise. I had a lovely evening, I'm glad we're on speaking terms. Now, I should look after my mother.

　　LADY EDITH

　　Why was Cousin Matthew in such a hurry to get away?

　　LADY MARY

　　Don't be stupid.

　　LADY EDITH

　　I suppose you didn't want him when he wanted you, and now it's the other way around. You

　　have to admit, it's quite funny.

　　LADY MARY

　　I'll admit that if I ever wanted to attract a man, I'd stay clear of those clothes and that hat.

　　LADY EDITH

　　You think yourself so superior, don't you?

　　LADY MARY

　　Ugh.

　　LADY EDITH

　　And I think she who laughs last laughs longest.

　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　Did that missing box of yours ever turn up?

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　Oh, It was a fuss² about nothing. They must've put it back on the wrong shelf when they were dusting. Bates found it this morning.

　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　Next  time,  have  a  proper  look  before  you  start  complaining.  I'm  sure  the  servants  were frightened half to death.

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　Mia culpa.

　　[Applause.]

　　VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　And now  the Grantham  Cup  for  the best bloom  in  the  village.  And the  Grantham  Cup  is  awarded to...

　　[Violet reads her own name on the judges' paper.]

　　VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　Mr William Molesley...for his Comtesse Cabarrus rose.

　　ISOBEL CRAWLEY

　　Bravo! Well done! Bravo!

　　VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　Congratulations, Mr Molesley.

　　MR WILLIAM MOLESLEY

　　Thank you, milady. Thank you for letting me have it.

　　VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　It's the judges who decide these things, not me. But very well done.

　　ISOBEL CRAWLEY

　　Congratulations, so well deserved.

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　Bravo, Mama. That must've been a real sacrifice.

　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　And bravely born.

　　VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　I don't know what everyone's on about.

　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　But I...

　　VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　All is well, my dear. All is well.
