　　[INT. LAVINIA'S GUEST BEDROOM]
　　[Isobel sits by Lavinia's bedside, but stands as Matthew enters.]
　　MATTHEW
　　What a marathon, but I think I got them all. Everyone sends love. I've told your father I'll telegraph 1 him as soon as it's safe for him to come.
　　LAVINIA
　　But not before.
　　ISOBEL
　　Well, I don't think I should leave you alone.
　　[Matthew sighs.]
　　ISOBEL
　　But if you don't tell.
　　[Matthew chuckles 2 and Isobel leaves. He sits in the chair.]
　　MATTHEW
　　I've been thinking about the date for the rematch, and...what is it?
　　LAVINIA
　　I wonder if we haven't been rather lucky.
　　MATTHEW
　　Well, I think we've both been very lucky.
　　LAVINIA
　　That we've been given a second chance.
　　MATTHEW
　　Second chance at what?
　　LAVINIA
　　To be quite, quite sure about what we're doing.
　　MATTHEW
　　Darling, what can you mean?
　　LAVINIA
　　The thing is...I might as well say it. When I came downstairs and you and Mary were dancing, I heard what you said...and I saw what you did.
　　MATTHEW
　　But that was--
　　LAVINIA
　　No, it's not that I'm in a rage 3 and a fury 4. In fact, I think it's noble of you to want to keep your word when things have changed. But I'm not sure it'd be right for me to hold you to it.
　　MATTHEW
　　Lavinia, I can explain.
　　LAVINIA
　　No, listen. I've had lots of time to think about it. I love you very, very much, and I've wanted to marry you from the first moment I saw you, all that is true. But I didn't really know what I was taking on. It's not in me to be Queen of the County 5. I'm a little person, an ordinary person, and when I saw you and Mary together, I thought ,"How fine. How right you look together."
　　MATTHEW
　　I-- I don't want to hear this.
　　LAVINIA
　　But you must. Because it isn't a sudden thing. I was starting to worry, and then when you were wounded, I thought it was my calling to look after you and care for you. And I don't think Mary would've done that quite as well as me, really.
　　MATTHEW (laughs)
　　No, no. No, not nearly as well.
　　LAVINIA
　　I do have some self-worth. Just not enough to make you marry the wrong person.
　　MATTHEW
　　What you're saying is pointless! Mary's marrying somebody else.
　　LAVINIA
　　Is she? We'll see.
　　MATTHEW
　　I won't let you do this.
　　LAVINIA
　　You will. But we won't fight about it now. In fact, I'm tired. Can I rest for a bit? We'll talk later.
　　MATTHEW
　　Of course.
　　[Matthew gets up and he sees her start to cry just before he leaves.]
　　[INT. DRAWING ROOM - DAY]
　　LADY MARY
　　It's good of you to come, but I don't really see what you can do.
　　SIR RICHARD CARLISLE
　　I just thought I better do my bit. You say the chauffeur 6's gone, so I could always drive the car.
　　LADY MARY
　　Preferably over the chauffeur. Hm.
　　SIR RICHARD CARLISLE
　　You father's not having an easy time of it. How's Lady Grantham?
　　LADY MARY
　　Not well. Clarkson's with her now.
　　SIR RICHARD CARLISLE
　　And Miss Swire?
　　LADY MARY
　　Oh, she's...
　　[Something occurs to her and she turns to face Carlisle.]
　　LADY MARY
　　Is that why you've come? Because I said Lavinia had been taken ill?
　　SIR RICHARD CARLISLE
　　I was coming up anyway in a day or two for the wedding.
　　LADY MARY
　　Well, she won't be getting married on Saturday, which I suppose is what you'd like best.
　　SIR RICHARD CARLISLE
　　But she's not seriously ill?
　　LADY MARY
　　I see what was worrying you. If Lavinia had been carried off, you wanted to be here to stop Matthew from falling into my arms on a tidal wave of grief 7.
　　SIR RICHARD CARLISLE
　　It's a tricky 8 disease 9.
　　[Thomas enters.]
　　THOMAS
　　His Lordship's asking for you, milady.
　　[Mary gathers her letters and exits]
　　[INT. KITCHENS - DAY]
　　MRS HUGHES
　　I think we should aim at a sort of buffet 10 dinner. Then they can run in and out as it suits them. I'm sorry to make extra work.
　　MRS PATMORE
　　Never mind that. At times like these, we must all pull together.
　　MRS HUGHES
　　Oh, this arrived in the afternoon post, Daisy.
　　[Mrs Hughes hands Daisy a letter. Thomas enters.]
　　THOMAS
　　Tea for Sir Richard in the drawing room.
　　MRS HUGHES
　　Well, I'm glad to know he's here to help.
　　[Mrs Hughes and Mrs Patmore shake their heads while Daisy reads her letter.]
　　THOMAS
　　I can do it.
　　MRS HUGHES
　　You're very obliging 11, Thomas.
　　THOMAS
　　I could take some up to Mr Carson, if you'd like.
　　[Mrs Hughes and Mrs Patmore exchange a look.]
　　MRS PATMORE
　　Is that from your Mr Mason?
　　DAISY MASON
　　He's not mine.
　　MRS HUGHES
　　What does he say?
　　DAISY MASON
　　He just says again we should talk about William. He wants me to go to his farm.
　　MRS PATMORE
　　Oh, poor man, will you not visit him?
　　DAISY MASON
　　I'm not going to any farm.
　　MRS HUGHES
　　You're all he's got, Daisy.
　　DAISY MASON
　　Well, then he's got nobody, 'cause he hasn't got me.
