I'm not going to fight.
You'll have to.
I will not. I'm going to be a conscientious objector.
They'll put you in prison.
I'd rather prison than the Dardanelles.
When will you tell them?
In my own good time.
I don't understand.
I'll go to the medical. I'll report for duty. And when on parade, I'll march out front and I'll shout it, loud and clear. And if that doesn't make the newspapers, then I'm a monkey's uncle.
Might I have a glass of cider?
What about Sybil? Does she have anyone in her sights?
Not that I know of.
Are you sure she has no chap in mind? How odd! I had an endless series of crushes at her age.
I don't think so.
Not even some man she doesn't care to mention?
What do you mean?
Well, war breaks down barriers and when peacetime re-erects them, it's very easy to find oneself on the wrong side.
Really, Granny! How can you say that I'm too worldly but Sybil's not worldly enough? You cannot be so contrary.
I'm a woman, Mary. I can be as contrary as I choose.
[In France]
But what are we patrolling for?
You've been taking those logic pills again. This is the army, Mason. We're going on a patrol because we're going on a patrol.
Why are you smiling? I thought you'd be angry.
Because that's the first time you've ever spoken about "us."
Cora tells me Matthew's gone missing. Is that true?
There's no proof of anything yet.
I see. Well, I need more than that to make me anxious.
I'm glad you would be anxious.
Of course I would be. We're used to Matthew now. God knows who the next heir will be. Probably a chimney sweep from Solihull!
[on the phone] Yes, yes. The minister. Well how many Marquesses of Flintshire are there? [to Edith] Is this an instrument of communication or torture? [on the phone again] Hello?! Shrimpie?! Yes, it's Aunt Violet. Yes, very well. And Susan? Oh, good. I won't beat around the bush, dear. Whom might we know on the board of Leeds General Infirmary?
[telling Daisy what to say to William at his deathbed] Just say nice, warm, comforting things. Make him feel loved. You don't have to be Shakespeare.
I'll stay with him. I'll not leave him now, not while he needs me.
He doesn't need you no more Daisy. He doesn't need none of us no more.
The war may be at an end, but the upheaval is only beginning.
Oh how right you are. That is why Downton Abbey still has such an important role to play.
Dear me, there's so much to be done. When you think of all the children laid up with disease.
But they're making such advances now, aren't they? Now, could we talk about the lecture program for Dow--
Oh, if we must, we must. If only I wasn't haunted by those women whose jobs will be snatched from them when the boys come home.
But we have to find work for our heroes, don't we? That must be our priority. However hard that might sound.
Mm. As you say. And what about those wretched refugees? What will become of them?
Ah. Now you've struck a chord.
Have I really? Oh, thank heaven.
Doesn't it feel odd to have the rooms back?
And only us to sit in them. I suppose we'll get used to it.
I don't want to get used to it.
What do you mean?
I know what it is to work now. To have a full day, to be tired in a good way. I don't want to start dress fittings or paying calls or standing behind the guns.
But how does one escape all that?
I think I've found a way to escape.
Nothing too drastic, I hope.
It is drastic. There's no going back once I've done it, but that's what I want. No going back.
I don't want to go back, either.
Then don't. You're far nicer than you were before the war, you know.
I wrestled with it, m'lord, I don't mind admitting. And I wanted to be there to help Lady Mary, and--
And protect her from Sir Richard.
Well, I wouldn't quite put it like that, but yes, I suppose. Only--
Only you felt you couldn't work for a man who would offer a bribe?
That is correct, m'lord.
Are you quite sure you won't regret it? I know how fond you are of Lady Mary.
But I couldn't work for a man that I don't respect. And I certainly couldn't have left Downton for him.
I shall take that as a compliment. For myself and for my house.
You're very late. Won't they worry?
They're all so excited, they won't care where I am.
I'm pleased. I like Mr. Matthew.
He announced at dinner that he wants to get married at Downton. Somehow, it made me feel more than ever that the war is really over, and it's time to move forward.
Do you mean you've made your decision?
Yes. My answer is, that I'm ready to travel. And you're my ticket. To get away from this house, away from this life--
Me?
No, Uncle Tom Cobley. [both laugh]
I'm sorry. But I've waited so long for those words, I can't believe I'm hearing them. You won't mind burning your bridges?
Mind? Fetch me the matches! [Branson leans forward but stops] Yes, you can kiss me, but that is all until everything is settled.
For now, God knows it's enough that I can kiss you. [they kiss]
No doubt you will regard this as rather unorthodox, my pushing into a man's bedroom, uninvited.
Well, um...
It's just I don't want us to be disturbed. [she sits down] I'm sure you know how pleased I am that you will recover after all.
Thank you.
Just as I am delighted that you can once more look forward to a...to a happy married life.
I'm very lucky.
Now, this may come as a surprise but I feel I must say it all the same.
Please do.
Mary is still in love with you.
What?
I was watching her the other night when you spoke of your wedding. She looked like Juliet on awakening in the tomb.
Mary and I have always had...
Of course, I suspected long ago that the flame hadn't quite gone out. But then there was no chance of your recovery, and it seemed best to let her try for happiness where she could.
I quite agree, and Sir Richard is...
No, now let's not muddy the pool by discussing Sir Richard. The point is you loved her once. Are you sure you can't love her again?
Cousin Violet, please don't think I mind your speaking to me in this way. I quite admire it. But consider this: Lavinia came back, against my orders, determined to look after me for the rest of my life, which meant that she would wash me and feed me and do things that only the most dedicated nurse would undertake, and all with no hope of children or any improvement.
Yes, yes, it's all very admirable. And I give her full credit.
And giving her that credit, do you think it would be right for me to throw her over because I can walk? To dismiss her because I no longer have need of her services?
Spoken like a man of honor, and we will not fall out over this.
But you don't agree.
I would just say one thing. Marriage is a long business. There's no getting out of it for our kind of people. Now, you may live 40, 50 years with one of these two women. Just make sure you have selected the right one.
Daisy?! What in God's name are you doing down here at this hour?
I just wanted to check it were all right. That it hadn't, you know, caved in or anything.
Caved in? It's a cake, not a souflé.
I know, but I've never made a wedding cake before.
Is that the one for tasting?
Yes, Mrs. Patmore. [getting a piece off the shelf]
Well, bring it out, we'll give it a try. [after she and Daisy try a bite and both spit it out] What in God's name do you call this?
I don't know. I did everything that you said. I promise.
Didn't you taste the mixture? [Daisy shakes her head] Well, then I'm afraid it's time to look at Thomas's ingredients. [walks over to counter and tries something and spits it out] Well, that's two thirds plaster dust. Where's the peel? [Daisy hands it to her] This were old when Adam were a boy. So, Thomas was happy to "let it go", was he? Well, it won't go anywhere near me in future. Chuck the whole bally lot out and we'll have to think again.
