　　唐顿庄园第一季第六集_1

　　[EXT. RIPON, CITY HALL COURTYARD - DAY]

　　May 1914

　　SPEAKER

　　Last June saw Emily Davison crushed to death beneath the hooves of the king's horse! Will the summer of 1914 prove as fatal for the hopes of women? It cannot! This historic by-election can be the first step of the journey to women's equality!

　　WOMAN

　　If you're so keen on women's rights, let a woman speak!

　　MAN

　　But why stop there? Let's get the dogs up and listen to them bark!

　　SPEAKER

　　Women! Women...are thrown out of jail...!

　　[Branson appears next to Sybil in the crowd.]

　　BRANSON

　　Are you all right, milady?

　　LADY SYBIL

　　Isn't it exciting?

　　SPEAKER

　　Only to be dragged back inside!

　　MAN

　　You're an idiot!

　　[Isobel sees Sybil in the crowd and pushes through to reach her.]

　　ISOBEL CRAWLEY

　　Sybil, I think it's time for Branson to take you home!

　　LADY SYBIL

　　Not yet.

　　ISOBEL CRAWLEY

　　I think so. I applaud your spirit in coming, and I will applaud your discretion when you leave!

　　LADY SYBIL

　　But you agree with everything he says?

　　ISOBEL CRAWLEY

　　I do, my dear, but I also know if anything happens to you, Branson will lose his place.

　　BRANSON

　　Better safe than sorry, milady.

　　SPEAKER

　　...is an act of mercy. I disagree.

　　[Branson puts an arm around Sybil and pushes a path for her through the jeering crowd.]

　　BRANSON

　　The car is just here.

　　LADY SYBIL

　　Women must get the vote, mustn't they, Branson' Why does the prime minister resist the inevitable?

　　BRANSON

　　Politicians can't often recognise the changes that are inevitable.

　　[Branson opens the car door for Sybil and she steps in.]

　　[EXT. COUNTRY ROAD, MOTOR CAR - DAY]

　　LADY SYBIL

　　I hope you do go into politics. It's a fine ambition.

　　BRANSON

　　Ambition or dream? If I do, it's not all about women and the vote for me, nor even freedom for Ireland. It's the gap between the aristocracy and the poor and...

　　LADY SYBIL

　　And what?

　　BRANSON

　　I'm sorry. I don't mean to speak against His Lordship.

　　LADY SYBIL

　　Why not? You obviously don't approve of him.

　　BRANSON

　　Not as a representative of an oppressive class. But he's a good man, and decent employer.

　　LADY SYBIL

　　Spoken like a true politician.

　　[Branson chuckles.]

　　LADY SYBIL

　　What do I look like' Could you sneak me around the back? I should hate for Papa to see me like this.

　　[INT. MR CARSON'S OFFICE - DAY]

　　[Mr Carson reads a note.]

　　MRS PATMORE (background)

　　Where' I?m not a mind reader!

　　[Mrs Hughes knocks on the open door.]

　　MRS HUGHES

　　Mrs Patmore is very cruel to that poor girl.

　　MR CARSON

　　Mrs Patmore is frightened.

　　MRS HUGHES

　　Is she right to be?

　　MR CARSON

　　Well, Dr Clarkson has confirmed she has cataracts.

　　MRS HUGHES

　　What can be done about it?

　　MR CARSON

　　There are treatments, but even the best are uncertain. She doesn't want to risk losing what sight she still has.

　　MRS HUGHES

　　I don't blame her, but it can't go on forever.

　　MR CARSON

　　No.

　　[Mrs Hughes sees the note in Carson's hand.]

　　MRS HUGHES

　　Oh, dear. Have you had bad news? I shouldn't have bothered you.

　　MR CARSON

　　You weren't to know.

　　[Mrs Hughes exits with a glance back at Carson.]

　　[INT. SERVANTS' CORRIDOR - DAY]

　　[Sybil  enters  through  the back  door.  She  runs  into William  as  he  exits  a  room  holding  a  candelabra.]

　　LADY SYBIL

　　Oh!

　　WILLIAM

　　Excuse me, milady.

　　LADY SYBIL

　　William, will you find Anna and tell her I've gone upstairs?

　　WILLIAM

　　Very good, milady.

　　[Sybil goes upstairs. William opens a door and bumps Thomas's elbow, making Thomas spill his drink.]

　　THOMAS

　　You clumsy clodhopper.

　　WILLIAM

　　Sorry.

　　THOMAS

　　You will be sorry when I've finished you. Look at this!

　　MR BATES

　　Leave him alone.

　　WILLIAM

　　Anna, Lady Sybil's back from Ripon. She's gone up to her room.

　　ANNA

　　Thank you.

　　MISS O'BRIEN

　　Why does she waste her precious time on politics?

　　THOMAS

　　Hear, hear.

　　MR BATES

　　Oh, don't you believe in rights for women, Thomas?

　　THOMAS

　　What's it to you?

　　MR BATES

　　Well,  I  know  you  don't  believe  in  rights  of  property.  I  think  some  people  might  find  that interesting.

　　THOMAS

　　Who's going to tell them? You?

　　[INT. MR CARSON'S OFFICE - DAY]

　　[Mrs Hughes knocks on the door and enters.]

　　MRS HUGHES

　　Mr Carson, are you all right?

　　MR CARSON

　　Why shouldn't I be?

　　MRS HUGHES

　　You've never rung the dressing gong, and Mrs Patmore's doing a souffl?for the first course.

　　MR CARSON

　　Oh, my God.
