Violet Crawley, the Dowager Countess and Lady Rosamund Painswick in “Unfinished Business”

I've been awake the whole night. There's only one thing we can say. We have to tell Cora.

Lady Rosamund Painswick

Well, isn't that rather a betrayal?

If anything happens to Edith and Cora learns later we knew all along, she would never forgive us. And I wouldn't blame her. You see, as a mother it is her right.

Lady Rosamund Painswick

But you don't plan to tell Robert? He is Edith's father.

He's a man. Men don't have rights.
