[About Susan and Rose]
We knew things we awkward between them. but now that I'm here, I don't think Susan handles it very well.
But it's so complicated with a young daughter who's so full of new ideas. She thinks you're fighting her when all the time you're just frightened and...I'm sorry.
We all miss her. Every single day.
Of course it's a lot to ask but what else can I do? I'm prevented from divorcing a woman who doesn't even know who I am. Does the law expect me to have no life until I die? Would Lord Grantham?
Say hello to your son and heir.
Hello my dearest little chap. I wonder if he knows how much joy he brings with him? My darling, how are you? Truly?
Tired and pretty relieved. But just think: We've done our duty. Downton is safe. Papa must be dancing a jig.
I'm dancing a jig. I feel like I've swallowed a box of fireworks.
Where are the others?
Back at the house. Panting to see you, to see you both. But I've sent Mother to keep them at bay. I wanted the chance to be alone with my family.
You sound rather foreign. Shouldn't you been saying things like "You'll be up and about in no time"?
I'll remind that next time I scratch the car.
Do. I give you full permission.
[to Anna] They'll be here in a minute. And tell Mr. Matthew he must wait his turn. He's seen the baby and they haven't.
I'm taking Master George out for some air, milady. I wondered if you like to come with us
I don't think so. Poor little orphan.
[Nanny West walks away holding little George, now six months old]
He's not an orphan. He's got his mother, orphans haven't.
He isn't poor either, come to that.
How was Lady Mary this morning?
The same, though I suppose she must come out of it eventually.
For Master George's sake if for no other reason.
You ought to see more of George.
Poor George. What a burden he is born into. A baby rich as Croesus and a mother almost passed over.
That's the law.
It seems so strange. Matthew has always so meticulous.
He thought that death was many years away and so it should have been. If there's anything I can do to help, please let me do it.
I'm grateful. But, you see, when your only child dies, then you're not a mother anymore. You're not anything really.
You're a grandmother. And I know you're going to be a wonderful one.
Mary, you've gone through you a hideous time, but now you must remember your son. He needs you very much.
I know. The thing is I don't think I'm going to be a very good mother.
Why not?
Because, somehow, with Matthew's death all the softness he found in me seems to have dried up and drained away. Maybe it was ever there in his imagination.
Your ladyship! I didn't see you there.
Obviously not.
I was just--I was just having a game with Miss Sybbie.
I want you to pack tonight and leave first thing in the morning.
But your ladyship--
Please put Master George back into his crib. You are not to touch the children again.
Oh, I thought it was Nanny West ringing.
No. Mrs. Hughes, Nanny West is leaving. Can you find her a bed for the night and ask one of the maids to sleep with the children?
But, your ladyship, I was only joking!
Please, Miss West, I prefer not to discuss it. Except to say that your values have no place in a civilized home. Now Mrs. Hughes, I will wait here while Nanny West packs. You will fetch a maid and prepare a room. You understand me? Miss West is not to be left alone with the children, not for one minute.
Does this mean you've decided to return to the land of the living? Because if so, I'm glad.
It means that I know that I've spent too long in the land of the dead.
It turns out Miss West is quite unsuitable as a nanny. She's leaving today.
What?! Not another one!
Well, Mary must read it (Matthew's letter) before you send it anywhere. Or are you trying to hide from the truth?
What truth?
That you would prefer to be in sole charge of the estate and not share the crown with Mary
Don't be silly. This won't make any difference to all that. She won't want to get involved.
When you talk like that, I'm tempted to ring for Nanny and have you put to bed with no supper.
[reading] "My darling Mary. We are off to Duneagle in the morning, and I have suddenly realized I have never made a will, or anything like one, which seems pretty feeble for a lawyer. And you being pregnant makes it even more irresponsible--"
Mmm, I'm afraid I have to agree with that.
"I'll do it properly when I get back and tear this up before you ever see it. But I'll feel easier that I've recorded on paper that I wish you to be my sole heiress."
What?
"I cannot know if our baby is a boy or a girl, but I do know it will be a baby if anything happens to me before I have drawn up a will. And so you must take charge. And now I shall sign this and get off home for dinner with you. What a lovely, lovely thought. Matthew."
Now, I asked Branson to come here because I have an idea.
Granny, you must call him "Tom".
I thought I could call him "Branson" again, now that he's the agent?
Well you can't!
I don't mind.
There I see I'm beaten, but oh, how I sympathize with King Canute.
Now what was this idea?
...
I want, uh--
Tom.
Tom, to be your instructor
What?!
Well, take Mary on your rounds. Let her learn the farmer's difficulties. Explain...the crops. And the--the livestock.
You have put up with so much that I couldn't change. So if there is ever the slightest thing that I could make better for you, I will.
But how did you mange it?
Don't I keep telling you? Prison was an education.
