 　　唐顿庄园第二季第三集_7

　　[INT. HOUSEMAIDS' BEDROOM - NIGHT]
　　[Dressed for bed, Anna is practicing with the curling iron on her own hair.]
　　ETHEL
　　Any plans for your afternoon off? Major Bryant wants me to go to the pictures in York with him when he's allowed out. But you'll say that's stupid.
　　ANNA
　　Not stupid. Insane.
　　ETHEL
　　But he really likes me, though. He says he wants to get to know me better.
　　ANNA
　　Has he told you how he's planning how to achieve it?
　　ETHEL
　　Spoil sport. What you up to?
　　ANNA
　　Just practicing with these for Lady Mary. [?]
　　[EXT. KIRKBYMOORSIDE - DAY]
　　[Anna gets off the bus and enters The Red Lion. She peers through the frosted glass to see Bates at the bar before she enters.]
　　MR BATES
　　It's one and eight.
　　[Bates sees Anna.]
　　CUSTOMER
　　There you go.
　　ANNA
　　Might I have a glass of cider?
　　[Bates hands the customer his change.]
　　CUSTOMER
　　Thank you.
　　[The customer leaves and Anna approaches the bar.]
　　MR BATES
　　I don't know if I've dreaded 1 this moment or longed for it.
　　ANNA
　　Well, either way, it's happened.
　　[INT. THE DOWER HOUSE - DAY]
　　LADY ROSAMUND
　　I'm glad I'm in time for tomorrow's state visit. I gather Lavinia will be there.
　　[Mary rolls her eyes.]
　　LADY ROSAMUND
　　We must seize the opportunity to challenge her.
　　LADY MARY
　　I don't really see on what basis.
　　LADY ROSAMUND
　　She stole secrets from her uncle, Jonathan Swire, and gave them to Carlisle to publish, Swire told me.
　　LADY MARY
　　And the paper showed that half the cabinet were trying to get rich by buying shares before a government contract was announced. Would you rather we were kept in ignorance?
　　LADY ROSAMUND
　　It wasn't Lavinia's business to make it public. Without her, the Marconi scandal would never have happened.
　　LADY MARY
　　The politicians broke the law. Lavinia did nothing wrong.
　　[Violet regards Mary with surprise.]
　　LADY ROSAMUND
　　She drags the chancellor 2 of the exchequer's honour through the mud and you say it's nothing.
　　LADY MARY
　　It was only Lloyd George.
　　VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM
　　But why did she betray her uncle to Sir Richard in the first place?
　　LADY ROSAMUND
　　Because...
　　VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM Oh--
　　LADY ROSAMUND
　　They were lovers. And now it's down to you to save Matthew from the clutches of a scheming harlot.
　　VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM
　　Really, Rosamund, there's no need to be so gleeful. You sound like Robespierre lopping off the head of Marie Antoinette.
　　[Violet laughs.]
