   唐顿庄园第二季第五集_7


  [INT. GREAT HALL - DAY]
  [Mrs Hughes takes a breath and then approaches Major Bryant who is sitting down to cards.]
  MRS HUGHES
  Major, might I have a word?
  [The Major makes a "yeesh! what could that be?" expression to his friends and follows her to the front hall.]
  MAJOR BRYANT
  What is it?
  MRS HUGHES
  I have something for you.
  [Byrant looks at the handwriting of his name on the letter she holds out, but doesn't take it.]
  MAJOR BRYANT
  Thank you.
  MRS HUGHES
  I wish you would read it.
  MAJOR BRYANT
  Do you know who wrote it?
  MRS HUGHES
  Yes, I do. And I know how anxious she is for an answer.
  MAJOR BRYANT
  All due respect, I don't beliebe it's any of your concern.
  MRS HUGHES
  If you'd only s--
  [She waits for a nurse to pass out of earshot.]
  MRS HUGHES
  If you'd only see the child. He's a lovely wee chap.
  MAJOR BRYANT
  Mrs Hughes, the last thing I'd wish to be is rude, but in this case, I really must be left to my own devices. Now, I'll say goodbye. It's time I was making tracks.
  MRS HUGHES
  Goodbye then, Major.
  [INT. CARLISLE'S NEWSPAPER OFFICE - DAY]
  SIR RICHARD CARLISLE
  Who'd've thought it? The cold and careful Lady Mary Crawley. Well, we know better now. I'm surprised you haven't given me some extenuating 1 circumstances.
  LADY MARY
  I have none. I was foolish, and I was paid out for my folly 2.
  SIR RICHARD CARLISLE
  And when I've saved you - if I can - do you still expect me to marry you, knowing this?
  LADY MARY
  It's not for me to say.
  SIR RICHARD CARLISLE
  Of course, we both know that if we marry, people - your people - will think you've conferred a great blessing 3 on me. My house will welcome the finest in the land, my children will carry noble blood in their veins 4. But that won't be the whole story, will it? Not anymore.
  [Mary stands up.]
  LADY MARY
  Sir Richard, if you think it pains me to ask this favour, you'd be right. But I have no choice if I am not to be an object of ridicule 5 and pity. If you wish to break off our understanding, I'll accept your decision. After all, it's never been announced. We may dissolve it with the minimum of discomfort 6.
  SIR RICHARD CARLISLE
  Forgive me, I don't mean to offend you. I'm simply paying you the compliment of being honest. No, in many ways, if I can manage to bring it off, this will mean we come to the marriage on slightly more equal terms. I think that pleases me.
  LADY MARY
  So you'll do it?
  SIR RICHARD CARLISLE
  I'll try to do it, yes.
  LADY MARY
  You must act fast.
  SIR RICHARD CARLISLE
  I'll send a card for her as soon as you've left.
  LADY MARY
  Please let me know what it costs. I'll find a way to reimburse 7 you.
  [Richard takes her hand.]
  SIR RICHARD CARLISLE
  Nevermind that. As my future wife, you're entitled to be in my debt.
  [INT. LIBRARY - DAY]
  MR CARSON
  We've a bit of a conundrum 8, my lord. As you may know, we're short of a housemaid. We've had an application from a local woman Jane Moorsum, but she's married and she has a child, a son.
  ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM
  Well, surely her husband should be--
  MR CARSON
  She's a widow, my lord. The late Mr Moorsum died on the Somme. There's no other earner, so she has to look for work. I said I would ask you.
  ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM
  Well, if Mrs Hughes agrees, I think we must do what we can for the widows of our defenders 9.
  MR CARSON
  Very good, Your Lordship.
  [Cora enters as Carson's leaving.]
  CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM
  What was that?
  ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM
  We're taking on a new maid.
  CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM
  He should've talked to me, not you.
  ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM
  Well, they thought you were too busy to be bothered with it.
  CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM
  I am busy. And that reminds me, I can come with you to the Townsends. You'll have to make some excuse.
  ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM
  But we gave them the date.
  CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM
  You'll think of something.
