唐顿庄园第二季第一集_3
[INT. LIBRARY - MORNING]
[Anna collects the flowers Violet removed and takes them away as Cora, Isobel, and Robert enter.]
VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM
Thank you.
ISOBEL CRAWLEY
Well, we thought we'd come in here for a little talk.
VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM
Oh. Well, I'm sure we won't be disturbed.
[Robert rolls his eyes, then motions Isobel to the couch.] ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM
Please.
[Isobel sits.]
ISOBEL CRAWLEY
Well, the thing is...I've had a letter from Matthew. Of course he doesn't tell me what he's actually doing.
ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM
No, he wouldn't. But I'm glad he's all right. I miss him.
ISOBEL CRAWLEY
Well, that's the point. You must know he's been down here a few times since the war started.
CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM
We had heard.
VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM
Downton is hardly a metropolis 1.
ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM
Is he still determined 2 to go back to Manchester when it's all over?
ISOBEL CRAWLEY
He doesn't talk much about life after the war, none of them do. I suppose they don't want to tempt 3 fate. Until now, that is. He writes that he's engaged to be married to a Miss Lavinia Swire.
[They are rather upset by this news. Cora sits down.]
VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM
Well, I-- I suppose we all knew it would happen one day.
ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM
Do you know her?
ISOBEL CRAWLEY
Not yet. Apparently 4 they met when he was in England last time. It all seems rather hurried.
ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM
You can't blame them for wanting to live in the present. [Robert turns around, trying to process this latest blow.]
ISOBEL CRAWLEY
Anyway, he's been in London on leave, and now he's bringing her here to meet me. He'll be here tonight and tomorrow, then he leaves on Thursday while she stays for a bit.
CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM
So, will you miss the concert?
ISOBEL CRAWLEY
Well, that's up to you. We'd all hoped that he and Mary would sort things out between them, but if that's not to be, then shouldn't we try to get back to normal? Even if he's not keen to live in the village. He's still the heir. And you're still his family.
ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM
I quite agree. We can't know if Matthew will come through it. Either way, I would like to see him, and I want to wish him luck.
[Isobel smiles.]
CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM
The trouble is Mary's back from London today as well. She gets in at five o'clock.
ISOBEL CRAWLEY
Matthew's driving in Lavinia's car. They won't meet on the train.
VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM
Oh, that's a relief. I hate Greek drama. You know, when everything happens off stage. [Isobel narrows her eyes at Violet.]
CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM
But shall we tell her not to come? We might still catch her.
ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM
Isobel's right. We must use this engagement as a new beginning. You bring our Lieutenant 5 Crawley to the concert and stay for dinner afterwards.
ISOBEL CRAWLEY
I was hoping you'd say that. [Isobel smiles.]
[PATH - MORNING]
[Sybil enters the house, crying with the note in her hand.]
ISOBEL CRAWLEY
Oh, there you are, I'm just going home, but I'll be back at four--
[Sybil walks by without looking at her.]
ISOBEL CRAWLEY
Sybil, my dear, what's the matter?
LADY SYBIL
Tom Belasis has been killed.
ISOBEL CRAWLEY
What a terrible thing.
LADY SYBIL
I remember him at Imogen's ball. He made me laugh out loud just as her uncle was giving a speech. Sometimes it feels as if all the men I ever danced with are dead.
[Isobel gives Sybil a comforting kiss.]
LADY SYBIL
I just feel so useless. Wasting my life while they sacrifice theirs.
ISOBEL CRAWLEY
You've been a tremendous help with the concert.
LADY SYBIL
No, I d-- I don't mean selling programs or finding prizes for the Tombola, I want to do a real job. Real work.
[O'Brien is listening in.]
ISOBEL CRAWLEY
Well, if you are serious, what about an auxiliary 6 nurse? There's a training college in York. I know I could get you onto a course. It may be something of a rough awakening 7. Are you ready for that? I mean, have you ever made your own bed, for example, or scrubbed a floor.
[Isobel sees O'Brien eaves dropping.] ISOBEL CRAWLEY
O'Brien, what is it?
O'BRIEN
Mr Platte is taking Her Ladyship and Lady Grantham down to the village, she wondered if you'd like to go with them.
ISOBEL CRAWLEY
That's very kind. Thank you. [O'Brien leaves.]
LADY SYBIL
Go on. What else would I need?
ISOBEL CRAWLEY
Well, if you're serious, what about cooking? Why don't you ask Mrs Patmore if she could give you one or two basic tips.
[Sybil nods and starts to smile.] ISOBEL CRAWLEY
When you get to York, it might be useful to know a little more than nothing.
[Isobel smiles and strokes Sybil's chin affectionately. Sybil smiles back.]
