Mr. Drewe and Lady Edith Crawley in “Unfinished Business”

Mr. Drewe

So if you go tomorrow, how long would you be in Switzerland?

Lady Edith Crawley

About three or four days at the most.

Mr. Drewe

So we not got long to prepare.

Lady Edith Crawley

I'll pay you for the first month this afternoon, but with three children, you must have plenty of the paraphernalia already.

Mr. Drewe

You're right. We won't need much.

Lady Edith Crawley

And you're quite sure your wife is keen to take this on?

Mr. Drewe

Margie dotes on children, milady. In fact, I'm not sure we've had our last. She'll love her like her own.

Lady Edith Crawley

We'll need a decent story: That the parents are dead and the mother was a close friend of yours or something. That's true, of course, it's my friend and not yours.

Mr. Drewe

But you don't want her in the nurseries here?

Lady Edith Crawley

I can't have her here. My parents disapproved of my friendship with her mother. That's why it has to be a complete secret.

Mr. Drewe

I think it should be our secret, milady.

Lady Edith Crawley

[touched] Mr. Drewe would you do that for me?

Mr. Drewe

For you and the little girl, Madame. Yes.
