 　　唐顿庄园第一季第七集_9

　　[INT. KITCHENS - DAY]

　　[Mrs Bird checks on Daisy's cooking.]

　　MRS BIRD

　　Have you finished the soup?

　　DAISY

　　I think so, Mrs Bird.

　　[Mrs Bird leans in to check it.]

　　MRS BIRD

　　And the sauce for the fish?

　　DAISY

　　Yes, Mrs Bird.

　　MRS BIRD

　　Well, then, put them in the warmer.

　　[Daisy rushes nervously¹ to the sink, grabs² the soap and a grater and grates it into the soup, checking to make sure no one's looking.]

　　[EXT. MILITARY OFFICES - DAY]

　　[The NCO returns with a record book. Anna stands.]

　　NCO

　　You don't mean John Bates who went to prison for theft?

　　ANNA

　　That's correct.

　　NCO

　　Well, I know who he is right enough. That was an odd³ business.

　　ANNA

　　Why \"odd\"?

　　NCO

　　Never mind.

　　[The NCO closes the book.]

　　NCO

　　So you're his cousin and you'd like to be in touch?

　　[Anna nods.]

　　NCO

　　Very forgiving. Well, I've got no address for him or his wife. But I have got one for his mother, which should still be good. I've written it down for you.

　　[The NCO hands Anna the note.]

　　ANNA

　　Thank you for your trouble.

　　[The NCO nods and marches off.]

　　[INT. UPSTAIRS CORRIDOR⁴ - DAY]

　　[Mary waits for Edith to walk by and grabs her arm.]

　　LADY MARY

　　Is it true you wrote to the Turkish ambassador⁵ about Kemal?

　　LADY EDITH

　　Who told you?

　　LADY MARY

　　Someone who knows that you did.

　　LADY EDITH

　　Then why are you asking?

　　LADY MARY

　　Because I wanted to give you one last chance to deny it.

　　LADY EDITH

　　And what if I did? He had a right to know how his countryman died. In the arms of a slut.

　　[Edith leaves and Mary is shocked by her words.]

　　[INT. DRAWING ROOM - EVENING]

　　VIOLET⁶, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　How's that advertisement getting on for the new maid?

　　[Thomas takes the tea cup that Violet set down.]

　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　Well, it's only just come out.

　　MR CARSON

　　William and I can manage here now. Go and tell Mrs Bird we'll have our dinner in twenty minutes.

　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　Carson, be sure to say to Mrs Bird the dinner was really delicious.

　　[Carson nods proudly. Cora moves to sit across from Edith. Mary is behind her.]

　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　So, how was the drive?

　　[Edith smiles.]

　　LADY EDITH

　　It was lovely. Only...

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM (background)

　　They are now. When they're in London, at least.

　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　Yes?

　　LADY EDITH

　　Well, he said he had a question for me. He told me he'd ask it at the garden party, and he hopes I'll say yes.

　　[Mary rolls her eyes.]

　　ISOBEL CRAWLEY (background)

　　Yes, I could.

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM (background)

　　Carson's very wary⁷...

　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　You must think very carefully what our answer will be.

　　LADY MARY

　　Yes, I should think very carefully about a lot of things.

　　[Edith's smile fades and Mary gets up to move. Matthew watches her.]

　　ISOBEL CRAWLEY

　　Do your neighbours have one?

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　Yes, they do, in London anyway.

　　MATTHEW CRAWLEY

　　It seems very wise to get a telephone now. If there is a war, it may be very hard to have one installed⁸ in a private house.

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　Well, let me show you where we're going to put it.

　　MATTHEW CRAWLEY

　　Oh.

　　[Matthew and Robert leave. Isobel refuses to look at Violet, whom she's still angry with.]

　　VIOLET, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　First electricity, now telephones. Sometimes I feel as if I were living in a--an H.G. Wells novel. But the young are all so calm about change, aren't they? Look at Matthew. I do admire him.

　　ISOBEL CRAWLEY

　　Do you?

　　[Violet looks at Isobel and lowers her glass.]

　　VIOLET, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　What have I done wrong now?

　　ISOBEL CRAWLEY

　　Oh. please. Don't pretend Mary's sudden reluctance⁹ can't be traced¹⁰ back to you.

　　VIOLET, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　Well, I shall pretend it. I told her to take him. Your quarrel is with my daughter Rosamund, not me.

　　[Isobel finally looks at Violet.]

　　VIOLET, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　So, put that in your pipe and smoke it.

　　[Carson is struck by Violet's comment and chuckles¹¹.]
