 　　唐顿庄园第二季第六集_9

　　[EXT. DOWNTON ABBEY, GROUNDS - DAY]
　　LADY EDITH
　　Not a shock, exactly, but obviously it was a tremendous surprise.
　　PATRICK GORDON
　　So, what happens next?
　　LADY EDITH
　　Papa has sent your statement up to a solicitor 1.
　　[Patrick stops to stare at something.]
　　LADY EDITH
　　What is it? Do you remember this place?
　　PATRICK GORDON
　　Of course I do.
　　LADY EDITH
　　How we used to hide over there
　　PATRICK GORDON
　　Wasn't there a governess none of you liked?
　　LADY EDITH
　　Fr?ulein Kelda.
　　PATRICK GORDON
　　That's it. (fake German) Fr?ulein Kelda!
　　[They laugh.]
　　PATRICK GORDON
　　What fun we used to make of her.
　　LADY EDITH
　　Do you know, I do recognise you now.
　　PATRICK GORDON
　　Do you?
　　[Edith nods.]
　　PATRICK GORDON
　　You haven't changed at all. Not a jot 2. God knows I have.
　　LADY EDITH
　　It's not important.
　　PATRICK GORDON
　　Edith, if you really mean it, do you think, once it's all settled, we might talk again?
　　[Edith nods. Patrick holds out his scarred hand and she takes it for a moment before they walk on.]
　　[INT. ETHEL'S HOUSE - DAY]
　　ETHEL
　　But if they read her ladyship's letter, won't his parents know?
　　MRS HUGHES
　　I don't think so. She only wrote to invite them to pay a visit. She thought the subject of the baby would come better face to face.
　　ETHEL
　　Could I write to them?
　　MRS HUGHES
　　You could try, but where's your proof? With him dead, you've no evidence at all.
　　ETHEL
　　Then I'm ruined.
　　MRS HUGHES
　　You were ruined already, my girl, so don't let's go overboard.
　　ETHEL
　　How's that new maid getting on? The widow with the little boy?
　　MRS HUGHES
　　Very well, thank you. Why?
　　ETHEL
　　Just thinking. Everyone wants to help her. To feed her, to find her work, because her son's father is dead. But so is the father of my son. Where's the difference?
　　MRS HUGHES
　　The difference is, Jane is a respectable married woman that some man chose to be his wife.
　　ETHEL
　　Is that enough?
　　MRS HUGHES
　　It is in the real world.
　　[INT. MAIN HALL - EVENING]
　　[Carson rings the dinner gong.]
　　SIR RICHARD CARLISLE
　　Carson, I wonder if I could be put on the London train at nine o'clock tomorrow morning.
　　MR CARSON
　　His Lordship's valet is catching 3 that one. Would you object to his riding in the front with the chauffeur 4?
　　SIR RICHARD CARLISLE
　　Not at all. Er, meanwhile, have you given my proposition any thought?
　　MR CARSON
　　A great deal, Sir Richard.
　　SIR RICHARD CARLISLE
　　I'll be back on the night of the tenth. Perhaps you could let me have your answer then.
　　[Mr Carson gives him a little bow. Mary enters.]
　　LADY MARY
　　Answer to what?
　　SIR RICHARD CARLISLE
　　As to whether Carson will be captain of our ship.
　　LADY MARY
　　With you at the helm, there's much more chance of a smooth crossing.
　　[INT. LORD GRANTHAM'S DRESSING 5 ROOM - EVENING]
　　MR BATES
　　Your Lordship, I need to go to London tomorrow. I've spoken to Mr Carson, he has no objection.
　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM
　　Please say this concerns property and not the former Mrs Bates.
　　MR BATES
　　I only wish she was the former, milord. Or better still, the late.
　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM
　　Indeed?
　　MR BATES
　　I have to reason with her, I have no other choice. She's found a reason to delay things again. No, not delay. She's found a way to ruin things.
　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM
　　Be sensible, Bates. Above all, do not lose your temper.
　　[INT. ETHEL'S HOUSE - EVENING]
　　[Ethel sits with her child and cries.]
