(In the sitting room of Downton)
V: My dear, I didn’t come here to fight. Lord Grantham wanted to protect the estate. It never occurred to him that you wouldn’t have a son.
C: Well, I didn’t.
V: No, you did not. But when Patrick had married Mary and your grandson been hailed as master, honor would have been satisfied. Unfortunately, now…
C: Now, a complete unknown has the right to pocket my money, along with the rest of the swag.
V: The problem is, saving your dowry would break up the estate. It would be the ruin of everything Robert’s given his life to.
C: And he knows this?
V: Well, if he doesn’t, he will.
C: Then there’s no answer.
V: Yes, there is and there is a simple one. The entail 1 must be smashed in its entirety and Mary recognized as heiress of all.
C: There’s nothing we can do about the title.
V: No. She can’t have the title, but she can have your money. And the estate. I didn’t run Downton for 30 years to see it go lock, stock and barrel to a stranger from God knows where.
C: Are we to be friends, then?
V: We are allies, my dear, which can be a good deal more effective.
