[about Lavinia] So that's Mary's replacement. Well, I suppose looks aren't everything.
I think she seems rather sweet. I'm afraid meeting us all together must be very intimidating.
I do hope so.

[about Lavinia] So that's Mary's replacement. Well, I suppose looks aren't everything.
I think she seems rather sweet. I'm afraid meeting us all together must be very intimidating.
I do hope so.
I think it means, at long last, I'm able to get a divorce.
Mr. Bates, is this a proposal?
If that's what you want to call it. And you might start calling me John.
...
Will we have to leave Downton?
Not until we want to. I've spoken to his lordship, and he will find a cottage for us near the house.
You told him you want to marry me?
I did.
Before you spoke to me?
You don't mind, do you?
Of course I mind! In fact, I'd give you a smack if I didn't want to kiss you so much I could burst!
What's it been like?
You know the thing is, [pause] I just can't talk about it.
Please don't make fun of me. It's cost me all I've got to say these things.
You were praying.
Don't be ridiculous.
Thank you. Thank you for my deliverance.
I wanted you to know I sent a note down to Clarkson, which should do the trick.
What did you say?
Only that I gathered you'd asked a favour, and given that the estate shoulders the hospital costs, it did seem a little unfair if we weren't allowed a few perks.
Quite right. Thank you, darling.
[later]
I gather your footman Thomas has returned to the village.
Crikey. Where did you see him?
At the hospital. Seems he's working there.
I wonder how he wangled that.
Well now, still in one piece. Thank God.
Touch wood.
I never stop touching it.
[The staff are getting ready to serve dinner.]
Start with old Lady Grantham, then his lordship, then just go on round. You must have done this before.
Not since the war started.
I don't think I ever knew that. Why isn't it just ladies first? Wouldn't it be more polite?
That's the way it's done on the continent. We don't like foreign ways here.
You'll find there's never a dull moment in this house.
Well, Clarkson's seen him. It's definitely not a heart attack, but he does need rest.
He's working much too hard. For a start he's just got to let the maids serve in the dining room.
Quite right. There is a war. Even Carson has to make sacrifices.
I was particularly sorry to spoil things for Sir Richard, knowing he was a guest of yours.
Don't be. I think he found it all quite exciting.
Will we be seeing a lot of him?
I don't know. Maybe.
And Captain Crawley, is he happy with the changes, so to speak? [Lady Mary looks away] May I give you one piece of advice, my lady? Tell him what's in your heart. If you still love him, let him know. Then even if he's killed, and he may be, you won't be sorry. If you don't tell him you could regret it all your life long.
And what about Miss Swire?
Miss Swire. As if any man in his right mind could prefer Miss Swire to you.
Robert Crawley, Lord Grantham What was it like at the hospital today?
At the front, the men pray to be spared, of course. But if that's not to be, they pray for a bullet that kills them cleanly. For too many of them today, that prayer had not been answered.
It's a brave new world we're headed for, no doubt about that. We must try to meet it with as much grace as we can muster.
I'm going up to London to stay with Rosamund for a day or two. I think we'll have Lavinia for tea.
You sound as if you're going to gobble her up.
If only we could.
