 　　唐顿庄园第一季第二集_5

　　[INT. DINING ROOM - EVENING]

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　Have you been able to explore the village?

　　ISOBEL CRAWLEY

　　Indeed, I have. And I thought the hospital a great credit to your father's memory. But I'm afraid the good doctor and I did not see eye to eye.

　　VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM (chuckles¹)

　　Oh, you amaze me.

　　ISOBEL CRAWLEY

　　He is treating one of your tenant², John Drake, for dropsy, but seems reluctant to embrace some of the newer treatments.

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　Drake is a good man, and far too young to die, but I suppose the doctor knows his business.

　　VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　Not as well as Mrs Crawley, apparently³.

　　[Isobel tries to reply, but Robert steps in first.]

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　By the way, if ever you want to ride, just let Lynch know and he'll sort it out for you.

　　LADY MARY

　　Oh, Papa, Cousin Matthew doesn't ride.

　　MATTHEW CRAWLEY

　　I ride.

　　LADY MARY

　　And do you hunt?

　　MATTHEW CRAWLEY

　　No, I don't hunt.

　　VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　I daresay there's not much opportunity in Manchester.

　　[Violet chuckles.]

　　MATTHEW CRAWLEY

　　Are you a hunting family?

　　LADY MARY

　　Families like ours are always hunting families.

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　Not always. Billy Skelton won't have them on his land.

　　LADY MARY

　　But all the Skeltons are mad.

　　MATTHEW CRAWLEY

　　Do you hunt?

　　LADY MARY

　　Occasionally. I suppose you're more interested in books than country sport.

　　MATTHEW CRAWLEY

　　I probably am. You'll tell me that's rather unhealthy.

　　LADY MARY

　　Not unhealthy. Just unusual...among our kind of people.

　　[Robert, Violet, and Isobel are all astonished at Mary's snobbery⁴.]

　　[INT. SERVE ROOM - EVENING]

　　[Mr Carson meets Mrs Hughes as she brings up some plates.]

　　MRS HUGHES (whisper)

　　I'm changing 'round the dessert services.

　　MR CARSON

　　We're missing a sugar sifter⁵. I know I put three out.

　　MRS HUGHES

　　I was talking to Anna earlier.

　　MR CARSON

　　Why? What's she been saying?

　　MRS HUGHES

　　Whatever's the matter?

　　MR CARSON

　　What did Anna say?

　　MRS HUGHES

　　Only that she thinks Thomas is bullying⁶ William.

　　MR CARSON

　　Ah. Yeah, she may have a point. I'll keep an eye out. Here it is.

　　[INT. DINING ROOM - EVENING]

　　LADY MARY

　　I've been studying the story of Andromeda, do you know it?

　　MATTHEW CRAWLEY

　　Why?

　　LADY MARY

　　Her father was King Cepheus, whose country was being ravaged⁷ by storms, and in the end, he decided⁸ the only way to appease⁹ the gods was to sacrifice his eldest¹⁰ daughter to a hideous¹¹ sea monster. So, they chained her naked to a rock...

　　VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM (chuckles uncomfortably)

　　Really? Mary, we'll all need our smelling salts in a minute.

　　MATTHEW CRAWLEY

　　But the sea monster didn't get her, did he?

　　[Sybil is transfixed by the story and the drama playing out right in front of her.]

　　LADY MARY

　　No. Just when it seemed he was the only solution to her father's problems, she was rescued.

　　MATTHEW CRAWLEY

　　By Perseus.

　　[Some of the wind goes out of Mary's sails.]

　　LADY MARY

　　That's right. Perseus, son of a god. Rather more fitting, wouldn't you say?

　　MATTHEW CRAWLEY

　　That depends. I'd have to know more about the princess and the sea monster in question.

　　[INT. SERVANTS' HALL - EVENING]

　　[William plays piano while the others visit.]

　　DAISY

　　I wish I could dance like that.

　　THOMAS

　　Like what?

　　[Daisy holds up a book with dance steps mapped out.]

　　THOMAS

　　Don't you know the grizzly¹² bear?

　　MR BATES (chuckles)

　　The grizzly bear. As if you do.

　　THOMAS

　　Certainly, I do. Miss O'Brien, shall we show them?

　　MISS O'BRIEN

　　Not likely.

　　[Anna and Bates laugh.]

　　THOMAS

　　William, give us a tune¹³. Come on, Daisy.

　　ANNA

　　Go on.

　　THOMAS

　　Hands up.

　　[Thomas puts his hands up into claws and growls¹⁴ and the others laugh and clap as he moves forward to dance the grizzly bear with Daisy. Mrs Patmore comes in, wiping her brow.]

　　MRS PATMORE

　　Daisy. Daisy!

　　[The music and merriment stops.]

　　MRS PATMORE

　　Stop that silly nonsense before you put your joints¹⁵ out. See to the range and go to bed.

　　[Daisy turns to Thomas in awe¹⁶.]

　　DAISY

　　Thank you, that was beautiful.

　　[The others clap and Thomas bows as Daisy leaves.]
