You mean he fell into the road and he was hit?
By a bus or lorry, apparently.
And someone saw this?
The pavement was crowded. Lots of people saw it.
That's a relief.
What do you mean?
Nothing. I don't mean anything.

What a relief to be able to drink in public without a policeman pouncing. Down with Prohibition!

Why does Lady Edith look so tired? She goes away to Geneva for eight months and returns looking more tired than when she left.
We're all tired, but not as tired as we're going to be.
VCViolet Crawley, the Dowager Countess
When are you going to London?
Tomorrow. I must get some new clothes now I'm back to normal shape.
VCViolet Crawley, the Dowager Countess
I...I know we never talk about the baby, but I realize it must be on your mind constantly.
Can we please say "she" and not "it"?
VCViolet Crawley, the Dowager Countess
I wish you hadn't been away so long.
They thought it helped the baby to be weened by her real mother.
VCViolet Crawley, the Dowager Countess
Yes. Well, I'm sure everything worked out for the best. After all your French must be superb.
That's right, Granny. Let's get back to what really matters.
But what about his child? Doesn't she have some rights?
his child is not his child anymore. She belongs to Mr. and Mrs. Schroeder, and lives in Geneva with the rest of her family.
That's all very well saying that, but it doesn't change anything.
Only because you won't let it.
KGKing George V
Ah. The Prince of Wales has spoken about your father's hospitality in Bombay.
[nervous] He was honoured to entertain His Royal Highness, Your Majesty.
KGKing George V
The Indian tour was a great success, thanks to Lord Flintshire.
The Prince did splendidly, Sir. He was so popular wherever he went.
KGKing George V
[dryly] Yes, the Prince is never short of popularity.
So Bates was in London that day.
You say it as if you already knew? Does Anna suspect anything?
Of course not. She;s knows nothing.
So will you tell her now, Millay?
I gather you won't?
No. I'm handing this over to you.
Meaning, leave it alone?
We can't know what happened on that street. Maybe he was in London for an innocent reason and nowhere near Piccadilly. But this I will say: If he was there to avenge his wife's honor, I won't condemn him for it. I'm sorry but I won't.
I'm afraid that boy's interest in her may not be entirely proper.
Mr. Carson, all women need someone to show a bit of interest every now and then. Preferably in a manner that's not entirely proper.
So if you go tomorrow, how long would you be in Switzerland?
About three or four days at the most.
So we not got long to prepare.
I'll pay you for the first month this afternoon, but with three children, you must have plenty of the paraphernalia already.
You're right. We won't need much.
And you're quite sure your wife is keen to take this on?
Margie dotes on children, milady. In fact, I'm not sure we've had our last. She'll love her like her own.
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.
But you don't want her in the nurseries here?
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.
I think it should be our secret, milady.
[touched] Mr. Drewe would you do that for me?
For you and the little girl, Madame. Yes.
CCCora Crawley, Lady Grantham
She's just rung up and asked herself for tea!
RCRobert Crawley, Lord Grantham
Do people think we're a public house on the Great North Road?
VCViolet Crawley, the Dowager Countess
Principles are like prayers: noble, of course, but awkward at a party.
Jimmy You think I'm mad, don't you?
Doesn't matter what I think.
JJimmy
Maybe she just wants to talk.
Maybe I'm the missing tsarevitch.
RCRobert Crawley, Lord Grantham
Mary, you take [the children]. Tony, go with her. Tom, come with me! You know where the sand buckets are kept. Good God! Barrow, is she alright?!....We must get her outside. Quickly, Tom! Tom, get the hose! Rose, go up and wake Mrs. Hughes and the maids! She'll do the rest. We must alert the estate firemen....And save the dog!!
Have you had any ideas?
Yes and it's a simple one: You're going to take a great interest in little Marigold, milady.
How are you getting on with repairing the fire damage?
They're all being marvelous, but I do feel such an idiot.
Maybe because you behaved like an idiot.
