[INT. SERVANTS' HALL - EVENING]

　　MISS O'BRIEN

　　You shouldn't have eaten with us. The chauffeur always eats in his own cottage.

　　MR BATES

　　Steady on. You can cut him a bit of slack on his second day.

　　BRANSON

　　I'm waiting to take old Lady Grantham home.

　　MISS O'BRIEN

　　Even then, Taylor never ate with us. You're taking advantage of Mrs Hughes's absence.

　　BRANSON

　　What are you doing?

　　MR BATES

　　I'm sorting the collars, removing the ones that have come to an end.

　　BRANSON

　　What happens to His Lordship's old clothes?

　　MISS O'BRIEN

　　What's it to you? Clothes are a valet's pert, not a chauffeur's.

　　MR BATES

　　I get some, but most of it goes into the missionary barrel.

　　BRANSON

　　I know it's meant to be kind, but I can think of better ways of helping the needy than sending stiff collars to the equator.

　　[Bates chuckles.]

　　MR BATES

　　I thought Anna might have come down for her dinner.

　　MISS O'BRIEN

　　And show she's ready to start work again? Not a chance.

　　MR BATES

　　She's still in bed, then?

　　MISS O'BRIEN

　　She is. While I'm sat here sewing like a cursed princess in a fairytale and not down at the fair with the others.

　　[INT. DRAWING ROOM - EVENING]

　　MR CARSON

　　Would you like me to ask Branson to bring the car around, my lady?

　　VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　Where's Robert? He can't have been drinking port since we left, he'd be under the table by now.

　　MR CARSON

　　His Lordship's in the library.

　　VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　All alone? Oh, how sad.

　　MR CARSON

　　No, he's--

　　LADY MARY

　　We can say goodbye to Papa for you, Granny.

　　VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　He's what?

　　MR CARSON

　　He's with Mr Crawley, my lady.

　　[INT. LIBRARY - EVENING]

　　MATTHEW CRAWLEY

　　The question is, what do I say to Cousin Violet?

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　Oh, don't worry about that. I can handle her.

　　VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　Really?

　　[Matthew stands up and Robert looks over in surprise.]

　　VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　Well, if you can, you must've learned to very recently.

　　[INT. SERVANTS' BEDROOM CORRIDOR - EVENING]

　　[Anna reads by candle light in bed. Mr Bates knocks on the door between the men and women's corridor. Anna goes out into the hall and approached the door.]

　　MR BATES

　　Anna.

　　ANNA

　　Mr Bates.

　　MR BATES

　　Can you open the door?

　　ANNA

　　I daren't. No one can open that door except Mrs Hughes.

　　MR BATES

　　Just for a moment. I brought you something.

　　[Anna unlocks the door. Mr Bates has a dinner tray for her.]

　　ANNA

　　I don't know what to—

　　MR BATES

　　Shh!

　　[Bates hands her the tray.]

　　[EXT. DOWNTON ABBEY, FRONT WALK - EVENING]

　　VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　What I don't understand in all this is you. You seem positively glad to see Mary disinherited.

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　You speak as if we had a choice.

　　VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　Thank you, Branson.

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　I'm worn out. Tell Lady Mary and Mr Crawley I've gone to bed.

　　MR CARSON

　　Shall I tell them now, my lord?

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　No. Wait until they ring.
