[INT. SERVANTS' CORRIDOR/HALL - NIGHT]

　　MISS O'BRIEN

　　Well, that's the greatness done and dusted for the night.

　　MR BATES

　　William, you had a good night?

　　WILLIAM

　　I'm off to bed.

　　[William gets up from the table and leaves.]

　　MR BATES

　　Wait.

　　[William stops at the base of the stairs.]

　　MR BATES

　　What happened?

　　WILLIAM

　　Nothing. Doesn't matter.

　　[William leaves.]

　　MR BATES

　　How was your evening, Mrs Hughes?

　　MRS HUGHES

　　Very enjoyable, thank you. The others are just behind me, so you can lock up in a minute. Well, I'll say goodnight.

　　MR BATES

　　Goodnight Misses.

　　MISS O'BRIEN

　　Night.

　　THOMAS

　　Goodnight, Mrs Hughes. I was right when I said she was looking sparkly-eyed.

　　MR CARSON

　　I beg your pardon, Thomas?

　　THOMAS

　　He can disapprove all he likes, Mrs Hughes has got a fancy man.

　　DAISY (snorts)

　　Him  a fancy man?

　　MR BATES

　　Don't be so nasty, Daisy, it doesn't suit you.

　　THOMAS

　　I reckon there's a job vacancy coming up. Miss O'Brien, do you fancy a promotion?

　　MISS O'BRIEN (scoffs)

　　Very droll. If she's got a boyfriend, I'm a giraffe.

　　[INT. SERVANTS' BEDROOM CORRIDOR - NIGHT]

　　[Mr Bates knocks on William's door and opens it.]

　　WILLIAM

　　Leave me alone, Mr Bates. I know you mean well, but let me be.

　　[Bates closes the door.]

　　THOMAS

　　What chance did he have up against a champion?

　　[Bates grabs Thomas and shoves him up against the wall.]

　　MR BATES

　　Now, you listen, you filthy little rat. If you don't lay off, I will punch your shining teeth through the back of your skull.

　　THOMAS

　　Is this supposed to frighten me, Mr Bates' ?Cause if it is, it isn't working. I'm sorry, but it's just not working.

　　[Bates lets Thomas go roughly.]

　　[INT. MRS HUGHES'S SITTING ROOM - MORNING ]

　　[Mrs Hughes smiles as she looks at the doll Joe Burns gave her.]

　　--

　　[INT. KITCHENS - MORNING]

　　MRS PATMORE

　　Daisy? Chafing dishes, now!

　　DAISY

　　They're right in front of you, Mrs Patmore.

　　MRS PATMORE

　　Are you trying to trick me?

　　MRS HUGHES

　　Anna's still not well. O'Brien, you'll need to dress the girls this morning.

　　MISS O'BRIEN

　　All we know about Lady Mary and here I am waiting on her hand and foot.

　　THOMAS

　　Will we do anything with that?

　　MISS O'BRIEN

　　Maybe. But not yet.

　　THOMAS

　　What do you look like? Daisy, what do you think he looks like? Do your buttons up.

　　DAISY

　　Well, go on, then.

　　[INT. LADY SYBIL'S BEDROOM - MORNING]

　　[Gwen enters as O'Brien is fixing Sybil's hair.]

　　MISS O'BRIEN

　　What do you want?

　　GWEN

　　I've got a message for Lady Sybil from Her Ladyship.

　　LADY SYBIL

　　Thank you, O'Brien, I'll manage now.

　　[O'Brien leaves.]

　　LADY SYBIL

　　Odious woman. What does Mama want?

　　GWEN

　　I just said that to get rid of her. This came today.

　　[Gwen hands Sybil a letter. Sybil opens and reads it.]

　　LADY SYBIL

　　I knew they would want to see you.

　　GWEN

　　Well, it's your reference what's done it. But how am I going to get there' They won't let me take a day off.

　　LADY SYBIL

　　You're going to be ill. They can't stop you being ill.

　　GWEN

　　What?

　　LADY SYBIL

　　No one has seen Anna for a whole day. They won't notice if you vanish for a couple of hours.
