　　[INT. GREAT HALL - DAY]

　　CORA

　　We can put the presents in the drawing room against the window.

　　MRS HUGHES

　　Very good, milady.

　　[Mrs Hughes leaves to take care of it.]

　　ISOBEL

　　I suppose we do have to display all the presents. It can look rather greedy.

　　LAVINIA

　　I can't bear the disruption we seem to have brought down on your heads.

　　CORA

　　Don't be silly.

　　[Matthew enters and Mary and Lavinia go to him.]

　　LADY MARY

　　How are you feeling?

　　MATTHEW

　　Just wish I could get rid of this damn stick. Sorry.

　　LADY MARY

　　Don't be. If anyone has a right to swear, it's you.

　　CORA

　　Don't bully¹ yourself. Think of where we were a few months ago and smile.

　　LADY MARY

　　I quite agree.

　　MATTHEW

　　I want to make it up and down that isle² without assistance.

　　LAVINIA

　　Up, yes. You'll have me to lean on when you're coming down.

　　LADY MARY

　　And you still have three full days of practice, so never say die.

　　ISOBEL

　　My goodness, is that the time? I must be getting back.

　　LAVINIA

　　I'll go with you.

　　MATTHEW

　　She's just sucking up, Mother.

　　LAVINIA

　　Any bride who doesn't suck up to her husband's mother is a fool.

　　[Isobel chuckles³ and they exit arm in arm. Matthew smiles after them.]

　　[INT. MR CARSON'S OFFICE - DAY]

　　[Mrs Hughes knocks and enters.]

　　MRS HUGHES

　　Can I bother you? Mrs Bryant has written a letter I did not expect.

　　[Mrs Hughes hands it to Mr Carson.]

　　MRS HUGHES

　　She says her husband wants to see the baby. They both do.

　　MR CARSON

　　Isn't that what you hoped?

　　MRS HUGHES

　　Yes and no. Remember what he was like the last time. I don't want to build up Ethel's hopes again.

　　MR CARSON

　　Ethel's not important. It's the boy's chances you have to look to.

　　MRS HUGHES

　　I believe you're right, though we come at it by different routes.

　　[INT. LADY MARY'S BEDROOM - EVENING]

　　LADY MARY

　　But why announce it tonight all of a sudden?

　　LADY SYBIL

　　He's got a job at a newspaper. He heard today it's a real chance.

　　LADY MARY

　　Let him go to Dublin and then you can use the calm to consider.

　　[Sybil scoffs⁴.]

　　LADY EDITH

　　Mary doesn't want you to be trapped before you're completely sure.

　　LADY SYBIL

　　But I am sure! How many times do I have to say it? Anna, tell them.

　　ANNA

　　Lady Mary's right. It's a very big thing to give up your whole world.

　　LADY MARY

　　Thank you. Listen to her if you won't listen to me.

　　LADY SYBIL

　　But I'm not giving up my world! They want to give me up. That's their affair. I'm perfectly⁵ happy to carry on being friends with everyone.

　　LADY MARY

　　Married to the chauffeur⁶?

　　LADY SYBIL

　　Yes. Anyway, he's a journalist now, which sounds better for Granny.

　　[Sybil sits down on the bed, frustrated⁷.]

　　LADY SYBIL

　　We're going to tell Papa tonight.

　　[They all stare at her.]

　　LADY EDITH

　　"We"? You mean, you and Branson?

　　LADY SYBIL

　　He's coming in after dinner.

　　LADY EDITH

　　But what will Papa do?

　　LADY MARY

　　I imagine he'll call the police.

　　[INT. MR CARSON'S OFFICE - EVENING]

　　MR CARSON

　　Downton is not a hostel⁸.

　　THOMAS

　　No, Mr Carson.

　　MR CARSON

　　And you made such a point of not being a servant anymore, our ears are ringing with it.

　　THOMAS

　　The trouble is, I'm a little out of pocket at the moment.

　　MR CARSON

　　I cannot say that I 'm sympathetic, when you dabble⁹ in the black market.

　　THOMAS

　　I just need some more time, Mr Carson.

　　MR CARSON

　　How long is it since the last patient left, Sergeant¹⁰? You're trespassing¹¹ on our generosity¹².

　　THOMAS

　　I'll try to make myself useful.

　　MR CARSON

　　Just find somewhere to go.

　　[Thomas leaves in shock.]

　　[INT. DRAWING ROOM - EVENING]

　　[Branson enters purposefully. Everyone stares.]

　　ROBERT

　　Yes?

　　[Edith tenses in anticipation¹³. Branson looks at Sybil.]

　　BRANSON

　　I'm here.

　　[Sybil gets up and walks over to Branson.]

　　LADY SYBIL

　　I don't think this is such a good idea. We mustn't worry Granny.

　　BRANSON

　　You've asked me to come, and I've come.

　　VIOLET

　　Would someone please tell me what is going on, or have we all stepped through the looking glass?

　　BRANSON

　　Your grandmother has as much right to know as anybody else.

　　VIOLET

　　Why don't I find that reassuring¹⁴?

　　[INT. KITCHENS - EVENING]

　　MRS PATMORE

　　Ooh, how much longer is Mr Carson going to be? This is why it's never worth trying to make food interesting in the servants' hall. You're very quiet this evening.

　　DAISY MASON

　　I've had a letter of Mr Mason, William's dad.

　　MRS PATMORE

　　Oh, yes? What does he want?

　　DAISY MASON

　　To see me.

　　MRS PATMORE

　　Oh, there's nothing very wonderful in that. You're his daughter-in-law, why shouldn't he see you?

　　DAISY MASON

　　I wish it were as simple.

　　MRS PATMORE

　　Well, I think it is, but I'll not reopen the wound.
