[He and Sybil look lovingly at their newborn daughter]
She's so beautiful. Oh, my darling, I do love you so much.
I just want to sleep really.
Of course you do. You've earned it. She's a wonderful baby.
...
Mama.
Yes, my darling?
Tom is thinking of taking a job in Liverpool and going back to being a mechanic. But it wouldn't be right for him. He needs to move forward.
Sybil! She can't hear me. Sybil! Sybil, it's Mary! Can you hear me!?
It looks as if...
It look as if what!?
This is eclampsia.
It cannot be. Sir Philip, you were so sure!
This is unbelievable. Somebody do something!
The human life is unpredictable!
But you were so sure!
Is there anything we should do Mr. Carson?
Carry on, Daisy, as we all must.
Are you all right Mr. Carson?
I knew her all her life, you see. I've known her since she was born.
Why...why did she say that?
Because there is some truth in it.
My dear, when tragedies strike, we try to find someone to blame. And in the absence of a suitable candidate, we usually blame ourselves. You are not to blame; no one is to blame. Our darling Sybil has died, during childbirth, like too many women before her. And all we can do now is cherish her memory and her child.
Nevertheless there is truth in it.
How's the baby doing?
I envy her. She doesn't know a thing about it.
Now that the funeral's over, we ought to think about the christening. Do know what you'd like her to be called?
I'd like to call her Sybil.
Of course.
You don't think it might be a little painful?
Very painful at first, but I think it's right. I want to remember her mother whenever I look at her.
Of course you do. And she would want to be remembered. I'll go and see Mr. Travis this afternoon.
Why Mr. Travis?
To fix the date.
But Sybil will be Catholic.
What?!
My daughter is Irish and she'll be Catholic like her father.
Did you hear about Tom's announcement at breakfast? He wants the child to be a left footer.
Papa, I know it's hard for you--
There hasn't been a Catholic Crawley since the Reformation!
She isn't a Crawley, she's a Branson.
The only chance that child will have of achieving anything in life is because of the blood of her mother!
Well, I don't agree. And besides, Sybil--
That's another thing! I think it's ghoulish to call her after Sybil!
Well, I don't!
I wish you'd come back to the drawing room.
I'd only set your mother's teeth on edge.
She'll come through it. She will. Which brings me to your performance today. How did that help?
I was angry with Isobel for exposing you all to gossip.
You were angry all right, but not with Isobel or Ethel. I think it's because the world isn't going you way. Not anymore.
...
You won't win over the christening.
Not if you're against me.
I'm never against you. But you've lost on this one.
Did Sybil truly not mind?
She wanted Tom to be happy. She loved him very much, you know. We all need to remember that.
I keep forgetting she's gone. I see things in the paper that would make her laugh. I come inside to tell her that her favorite rose is in bloom, and then suddenly...
Say that to Mama. Please.
She doesn't want to hear it from me.
I wondered if you'd be a godmother.
Am I allowed to be?
As long as at least one of them is Catholic. And my brother's coming over. He'll stay in the village.
No, he won't. He'll stay here.
He's a bit of a rough diamond.
I'm very fond of diamonds.
Human nature's a funny business, isn't it?
Now why didn't the poets come to you, Mr. Carson? They'd have saved themselves a lot of time and trouble.
[in surprise] Oh.
You didn't expect to find me here.
No.
I thought the only person who could tell us with any accuracy the Bryants' response to Ethel's working nearby were the Bryants themselves.
Lady Grantham wrote to me explaining your wish.
Well, it was only that Mrs. Watson had answered the advertisement...
I know the circumstances. Just as I know that you would like to see how Charlie's getting on. As it happens, I've been uncomfortable about keeping a mother from her son. And though I wouldn't want to confuse him until he's much older, if then--
You wouldn't have to confuse him! I've got it all worked out! I'm his old nanny who was employed by you when he was born.
But what about when he talks of you to Mr. Bryant?
You will please leave Mr. Bryant to me. Now Ethel, you must write to Mrs. Watson today and get it settled.
And I'll be able to see Charlie.
It won't be easy.
It'll be easier than not seeing him. Very much easier.
I'm sorry if this is inconvenient.
It's unexpected, not inconvenient.
I suppose I'd better just say it.
Please do.
I had the impression On my last visit, that you were flirting, giving signs that you found me attractive. If I'm wrong, then I apologize.
You're not wrong.
But since then I have discovered that you are, in fact, married.
Yes.
I'm afraid I find the idea of a married man flirting with me wholly repugnant. So you see, I must hand in my resignation at once.
No. It's true, I am married, but I hope you'll allow me to explain.
Explain what? I am familiar with the institution of marriage.
Yes, but not with this one. My wife is in an asylum and she has been for some years. Lizzie was a wonderful person, and I loved her very much. Took me a long time to accept that the woman I knew was gone and wouldn't be coming back.
Then why haven't you got a divorce?
I can't. A lunatic is not deemed responsible. She's neither the guilty nor the innocent party. It means that I'm tied for the rest of my life to a...a madwoman who doesn't even know me.
I thought I was helping him get out of our lives for good. Now he ranks higher than I do. I've been a damn fool.
By the way, what was that phrase he gave you to say to Miss O'Brien? You can tell me now, surely.
If you keep it under your hat. It was, "Her Ladyship's soap."
What?
I can't make any sense of it either, but that's what he said. "Her Ladyship's soap." And it worked.
You're very good to play.
Don't know why I made such a fuss about it. Can I ask you something?
Of course.
If I were to say I'd live with you while Sybbie's little, that we wouldn't move out until she's older, would you mind?
I should be delighted. And I know it's what Sybil would want.
I think you're right.
