 　　唐顿庄园第二季第三集_12

　　[INT. DINING ROOM - DAY]
　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM
　　What was going on with the soup? It came, it went.
　　MR CARSON
　　Nothing to worry about, my lord. Branson was taken ill so William volunteered to be footman one last time. You don't mind, do you?
　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM
　　Oh, not a bit. It was very kind of him.
　　[Carson leaves.]
　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM
　　Our footman, William, is leaving us tomorrow to join his regiment 1, that's why he's not in livery.
　　GENERAL STRUTT
　　Well, you're a credit to this house and this country, young man. There is no livery so becoming as a uniform.
　　WILLIAM (nods) Sir.
　　[Robert nods to William.]
　　MATTHEW CRAWLEY
　　Lady Rosamund, Mary, all of you, have been so kind to Lavinia.
　　VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM
　　Well, naturally. We're all curious to know more of Miss Swire if she's to reign 2 over Downton's queen.
　　MATTHEW CRAWLEY
　　Dear me, I hope you haven't unearthed 3 anything too fearful.
　　VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM
　　You must ask Mary.
　　[Many significant looks are exchanged.]
　　GENERAL STRUTT
　　One thing I'm still not quite clear about. Who, precisely 4, is in charge of Downton when you're not here?
　　DR CLARKSON
　　I've given it some thought, sir, and it seems to be only fair that Mrs Crawley...
　　[Isobel smiles]
　　DR CLARKSON
　　...and Lady Grantham...
　　[Isobel's smile fades. Cora smiles very happily.]
　　DR CLARKSON
　　...should share that responsibility.
　　GENERAL STRUTT
　　Capital. Well said.
　　[Thomas and O'Brien, listening in, smirk 5 at each other.]
　　GENERAL STRUTT
　　The fact is, I have been more than gratified by my visit here today, and I thank Captain Crawley for arranging it.
　　[Matthew nods.]
　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM
　　Here, here.
　　GENERAL STRUTT
　　You are all to be praised for your response to our national crisis, but I've been talking and I've been listening, and I feel there is one among you whose generosity 6 is in danger of going unremarked.
　　[Both Isobel and Cora wait expectantly.]
　　GENERAL STRUTT
　　It seems the daily cares and needs of the patients are being dealt with quietly and efficiently 7 by Lady Edith.
　　[Surprised, everyone stares at Edith.]
　　GENERAL STRUTT
　　Or that's what the officers tell me. So, let us raise our glasses and drink her health.
　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM
　　Edith.
　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM
　　Darling.
　　ALL
　　Lady Edith.
　　VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM
　　Edith, dear.
　　[Edith smiles in wonder of the compliment.]
　　[INT. LIBRARY - DAY]
　　[After dinner, Lavinia and Mary sneak 8 into the library.]
　　LAVINIA
　　We were never lovers. Not ever.
　　LADY MARY
　　You don't have to explain anything. Not to me.
　　LAVINIA
　　But I want to. You see, my father owed Sir Richard Carlisle a lot of money. Enough to bankrupt him.
　　LADY MARY
　　And Sir Richard offered to waive 9 the debt if you gave him the evidence of the minister's guilt 10.
　　LAVINIA
　　Papa was terrified, and I knew I could get into my uncle's office and find the proof.
　　LADY MARY
　　What is it?
　　LAVINIA
　　He threatened to tell you all about it, and now I've told you anyway. My uncle was guilty. They all were. Sir Richard didn't make it up.
　　LADY MARY
　　I believe you.
　　LAVINIA
　　But that's not why I did it. It was entirely 11 to save Papa from ruin.
　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM (O.S.)
　　I'll-- I'll just go and check if everything's ready.
　　[INT. KITCHENS - DAY]
　　WILLIAM
　　Have you got that picture for me?
　　DAISY
　　I might have.
　　[Daisy pulls the photo out of her pocket and hands it to William. He looks at it for a moment.]
　　WILLIAM
　　Because...you know what I'm going to ask you, so...will you?
　　DAISY
　　William, you're not sure. You can't be sure.
　　WILLIAM
　　I am sure.
　　MRS PATMORE
　　So is she. Aren't you, Daisy? Isn't this just what you told me you hoped would happen? It's like a fairy story.
　　[Daisy is speechless by Mrs Patmore's deceptive 12 betrayal.]
　　WILLIAM
　　Is she right? Daisy are-- are we engaged? Because, if we are, I know I can tackle whatever may come.
　　[Daisy hesitates as she looks mortified 13 between Mrs Patmore and William.] DAISY
　　Go on, then.
　　[William beams and hugs Daisy.]
　　MRS HUGHES
　　William?!
　　[William lets go of Daisy.]
　　MRS HUGHES
　　Do you want to go up top? The general's leaving and Mr Carson likes a full compliment.
　　[Daisy tries to say something to Mrs Hughes.]
　　MRS HUGHES
　　No, Daisy not you. The war has not changed everything.
