 　　唐顿庄园第二季第三集_1

　　[EXT. DOWNTON - MORNING]
　　[A man rides a bicycle toward the abbey. A new valet, Henry Lang, prepares Robert's clothes. William works downstairs.]
　　ANNA
　　Should we give them some more space between the beds?
　　LADY EDITH
　　Well, we could give them--
　　ISOBEL CRAWLEY
　　Not much. I'm determined 1 to defend the library as a recreation room.
　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM
　　Where are we to sit?
　　ISOBEL CRAWLEY
　　We can screen off the small library
　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM
　　Is that all?
　　LADY EDITH
　　I suppose we--
　　ISOBEL CRAWLEY
　　Well, we could leave you the boudoir. I wanted to put the intermediaries in there, but we don't have to.
　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM
　　How kind.
　　LADY SYBIL
　　Why will we only have officers? Surely all wounded men need to convalesce 2.
　　DR CLARKSON
　　The hospital is for officers, and the whole idea is to have a complimentary 3 convalescent home.
　　LADY SYBIL
　　Of course, but I don't know if we can make that an absolute rule.
　　ISOBEL CRAWLEY
　　If the world were logical, I would rather agree with you.
　　VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM
　　Which comes as no surprise.
　　ISOBEL CRAWLEY
　　You would not, I imagine.
　　VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM
　　You imagine right. What these men will need is rest and relaxation 4. Will that be achieved by mixing ranks and putting everyone on edge?
　　[Violet exits and Sybil follows her into the hall.]
　　LADY SYBIL
　　Granny.
　　VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM
　　Mm?
　　LADY SYBIL
　　Different ranks can relax together, it has been known.
　　VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM
　　Well, don't look at me, I'm very good at mixing. We always danced the first waltz at the servants' ball, didn't we, Carson?
　　MR CARSON
　　If was an honour, my lady.
　　VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM
　　It's a lot to ask when people aren't at their best. I'm searching for Lady Mary, Carson. Will you tell her I'm in the library?
　　[Carson bows and goes in search of her. Isobel passes Edith who's standing 5 in a doorway 6.]
　　ISOBEL CRAWLEY
　　Don't loiter, Edith. There's plenty to be done.
　　LADY EDITH
　　Of course, but I'm not quite what to--
　　ISOBEL CRAWLEY
　　Sybil, I want to have a quick word with you.
　　[Edith is left feeling lost.]
　　[INT. SERVANTS' HALL - DAY]
　　ANNA
　　I'm going down to the village this afternoon if anyone wants anything.
　　MRS HUGHES
　　Some stamps would be kind. I'll get you the money.
　　MR CARSON
　　I'd like to thank you all for your work this morning.
　　ETHEL
　　It's so strange to see the rooms converted into dormitories.
　　ANNA
　　But good. It was wrong for our life to chug along as if the war were only happening to other people.
　　DAISY
　　How will it be, though? Are we all working for Mrs Crawley now?
　　O'BRIEN
　　We are not.
　　MR CARSON
　　I'm sure the chain of command will be sorted out soon.
　　O'BRIEN
　　Or there'll be blood on the stairs.
　　MR CARSON
　　Thank you, Miss O'Brien.
　　[Lang gets up, obviously distressed 7 in some way.]
　　[INT. LIBRARY - DAY]
　　VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM
　　But what do you think it meant?
　　LADY MARY
　　Really, Granny. Lavinia Swire knows Richard Carlisle. So what? One knows lots of people in London.
　　VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM
　　I don't know many people who'd threaten me behind the laurels 8.
　　LADY MARY
　　Aunt Rosamund said herself she didn't know what to make of it.
　　VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM
　　I still think it's a peculiar 9 way for a gentleman to speak to a lady.
　　LADY MARY
　　At least you think him a gentleman.
　　VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM
　　The point is, do you think he's a gentleman?
　　LADY MARY
　　I'm not sure it matters much to me.
　　VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM
　　Well, I'm going up to London to stay with Rosamund for a day or two. I think we'll have Lavinia for tea.
　　LADY MARY
　　You sound as if you're going to gobble her up.
　　VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM (laughs)
　　If only we could.
　　[INT. KITCHENS - DAY]
　　MRS PATMORE
　　But where are they going to eat?
　　MR CARSON
　　I understand from Mrs Crawley that they'll share the dining room with the officers who are
　　almost well.
　　MRS PATMORE
　　So, am I running a cantina?
　　[Daisy giggles 10 as she reads her letter.]
　　DAISY
　　William says he's got time off between the end of his training and going overseas.
　　MRS HUGHES
　　He'll be with his father, surely?
　　DAISY
　　He's going home first, but he wants to come here for his last night.
　　MRS HUGHES
　　You wouldn't mind that, would you, Mr Carson?
　　MR CARSON
　　Certainly not. I'd be glad to wish him well on his way. Oh, for you Mr Branson.
　　[Branson enters and Carson hands him a letter.]
　　DAISY
　　Why do you think he's coming here?
　　MRS PATMORE
　　To see us all and say goodbye. What's wrong with that?
　　DAISY
　　Well, suppose it's something more. Suppose he's got plans.
　　MRS PATMORE
　　Well, you have to deal with that when it happens. And mind you deal fair. Now, go and grate that suet before I grow old and die.
