Robert Crawley quotes from Downton Abbey

It's very kind of you to let Henry and me push in to a family party.

In return, please don't let Mama pull you into the fight [over the hospital].

Really, Robert. You paint me as such a schemer.

No one has sharper eyes than a loving son.

You read that somewhere.

Why do you never think I can make something up?

I've an idea that when you mentioned Mrs. Harding's connection with us, you were trying to catch her out.

Well, I--

I don't like to see such things, Barrow. I don't care for a lack of generosity. Do you understand me?

Yes, my lord.

I've enjoyed my time as butler.

I hope you've learned something from it. You see, Barrow, Carson is a kind man. Don't overlook that. It's why people are loyal to him.

I'll bear it in mind, my lord.

Do. It should be helpful when you-- that is, when the hour strikes--

[strained] To move on. Yes, my lord.

Is Granny Violet a Red Indian?

Why on Earth do you say that?

Granny (Cora) said she was on the warpath.

If this is it, just know I have loved you very, very much.

This isn't it, darling. I won't let this be it.

With her magazine, I think she could develop into one of the interesting women of the day.

Lady Rosamund Painswick

I won't hear a word against Cora. Mama is being impossible.

I was only going to say, I wish Cora wouldn't take it heart. Mama has exhausted my patience this time.

Lady Rosamund Painswick

But she did give you Teo.

True. I forgive her everything.

Lady Rosamund Painswick

Do you think he will marry Edith? If he learns about Marigold?

I just don't want her to be hurt.

For poor old Edith, who couldn’t even make her dolls do what she wanted, it is rather wonderful

The estate's safe in Mary's hands with Henry and Tom to help her. Edith has risen from the cinders in the hearth to be kissed by her very own Prince Charming. What more can we ask?

A long and happy life together, just we two, to watch the children grow. That's all I want.

And why not? We never know what's coming, of course. Who does? But I'd say we have a good chance.
