 　　唐顿庄园第二季第七集_1

　　[EXT. DOWNTON ABBEY, FRONT DOOR - MORNING]

　　[Edith watches an army hospital truck leave.]

　　1919

　　[Mrs Hughes joins Edith.]

　　LADY EDITH

　　That's the last of the equipment gone.

　　MRS HUGHES

　　The maids have put the drawing room back to normal.

　　[The dog follows Robert around the house.]

　　[INT. DRAWING ROOM - MORNING]

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　I'm walking down to the village. I want to have a word with Travis.

　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　You know that Richard will be here any moment.

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　That's why I'm telling you. Give him my excuses, I'll see him at dinner.

　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　Is there any news on the Bates situation?

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　Not that I'm aware of.

　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　So, you still want to keep him on?

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　Cora, Bates's wife has committed suicide¹. It's very sad, of course, but not, when I last looked, a reason to sack² him.

　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　They've taken the rest of the beds.

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　So, that‘s the finish of it.

　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　Not quite. We still have Matthew. And I wanted to ask you, isn‘t it time he went home?

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　I see. You want to throw him out.

　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　Robert! I want him to learn to be as independent as he can, and I want Mary to get on with her life. What‘s wrong with that?

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　Is there something you‘re not telling me?

　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　What do you mean?

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　About Mary and Matthew. Some element you haven‘t told me?

　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　Of course not! You‘re being silly.

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　If thinking that trying to protect Mary with a ring of steel is silly, then, yes, I am very silly.

　　[Robert leaves angrily.]

　　[INT. LIBRARY - MORNING]

　　[Carson carries tea into the library.]

　　LAVINIA

　　Seriously. They have special [?] now.

　　[Carson puts the tray³ down.]

　　MATTHEW

　　You shouldn't be doing that.

　　MR CARSON

　　Let us hope the end of the war brings the return of the footmen, Mr Crawley.

　　LAVINIA

　　Do you think they will return?

　　MR CARSON

　　I certainly hope so.

　　MATTHEW

　　I'm sure Sir Richard can buy you a dozen when you get to Hacksby.

　　[EXT. DOWNTON ABBEY, DRIVEWAY - DAY]

　　[Jane picks up some spilled apples on her knees. Robert approaches.]

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　Let me.

　　JANE

　　Oh. No, my lord⁴, I can manage it.

　　[Robert helps her pick up the apples.]

　　JANE

　　The handle broke.

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　Aren't we feeding you?

　　JANE

　　They're from my mother's apple store. She always loads me up.

　　[They stand up.]

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　How is your boy doing? Er, Freddy?

　　JANE

　　Yes, Freddy. He's doing very well.

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　I wrote to the headmaster of Ripon Grammar. I said to look out for him.

　　JANE

　　Tha-- that's so kind, my lord.

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　I hope it works⁵. I don't really see why it should, but you never know. I suppose you miss your husband very much.

　　JANE

　　Of course. But I have Freddy. And when you think of what some families have gone through...

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　I know. Almost thirty dead on this estate⁶ alone. And the Elkins down at Longway lost three out of four sons. Mrs Carter's only boy was killed a-- a month before the end of the war. Poor Wililam. And then there's Matthew.

　　[Robert mourns all of these losses in a pathetic⁷ tone⁸ and Jane's heart goes out to him.]

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　Do you ever wonder what it was all for?

　　[They're distracted⁹ by an approaching motorcar.]

　　JANE

　　I better go in, my lord.

　　[Jane walks off toward¹⁰ the servants' entrance and Robert walks toward the front door. Sir Richard's car pulls up. Robert joins him as he steps out.]

　　SIR RICHARD CARLISLE

　　The train was late.

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　Welcome to the new world.

　　SIR RICHARD CARLISLE

　　When a war is over, the first emotion is relief, the second, disappointment.

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　How sad. But how true. Come in and have some tea.
