　　[INT. KITCHENS - DAY]

　　ANNA

　　Ugh.

　　MRS PATMORE

　　You've got a cold, I want you out of here.

　　MRS HUGHES

　　Anna, there you are. You know I'm out tonight, because I don't want to come home to any surprises.

　　MRS PATMORE (laughs)

　　That'll be the day.

　　ANNA

　　We thought we might go to the fair later. You'd like that, wouldn't you, Daisy'

　　MRS PATMORE

　　You ought to go. She's been that down in the mouth since the death of poor Mr Pamuk.

　　DAISY

　　Don't say that.

　　MRS PATMORE

　　She has.

　　ANNA

　　We could all walk down together after the service dinner if that's okay.

　　[Anna sneezes.]

　　MRS PATMORE

　　You won't be walking anywhere. She's got minutes to live by the sound of it.

　　MRS HUGHES

　　Go to bed at once.

　　ANNA

　　Yes, Mrs Hughes.

　　MRS HUGHES

　　I'll bring up a Beecham's powder. Right, if there's anything you want to ask me, it'll need to be before I go.

　　MRS PATMORE

　　What would I want to ask you' I'm preparing a meal for Lord and Lady Grantham and the girls. No one is visiting. No one is staying.

　　MRS HUGHES

　　Well…that's settled, then.

　　[INT. DOWNTON COTTAGE HOSPITAL - DAY]

　　NURSE

　　I'm afraid Dr Clarkson's out delivering a baby. We don't know when he'll be back.

　　ISOBEL CRAWLEY

　　No matter. If you'll just open the store cupboard, I can easily find what I need.

　　NURSE

　　Well, I—

　　ISOBEL CRAWLEY

　　You can tell the doctor that opened the cupboard for the chairman of the board. I assure you, he will raise not the slightest objection. This should do it. Tincture of steel, ten drops in water three times a day. And this is solution of nitrate of silver, rub a little in morning and night.

　　MR MOLESLEY

　　How long before it's better'

　　ISOBEL CRAWLEY

　　Erysipelas is very hard to cure. We should be able to reduce the symptoms, but that might be all we can manage. Oh, and you must wear gloves at all times.

　　MR MOLESLEY

　　I couldn't…wait a table in gloves. I'd look like a footman.

　　ISOBEL CRAWLEY

　　You may have to. The tincture and the salve will help. Try it for a week and we'll see.

　　[INT. HAVEL AND CARTER - DAY]

　　ATTORNEY ASSISTANT

　　Someone to see you, Mr Crawley.

　　MATTHEW CRAWLEY

　　Well, there's nothing in my diary.

　　ATTORNEY ASSISTANT

　　It's Lady Grantham.

　　MATTHEW CRAWLEY

　　Well, in that case, show her in at once. Cousin Cora, to what do I owe the…

　　VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　Oh, I hope I'm not a disappointment.

　　--

　　[INT. MRS HUGHES'S SITTING ROOM - DAY]

　　[Mrs Hughes looks at a hat.]

　　MRS HUGHES

　　I thought it might be nice to cheer it up a bit.

　　MISS O'BRIEN

　　Easier said than done.

　　MRS HUGHES

　　Perhaps with a flower or a bit of veil or something.

　　MISS O'BRIEN

　　I can find you a veil if you like. I hope you're not expecting me to do it.

　　MRS HUGHES

　　Not if you're busy, of course.

　　MISS O'BRIEN

　　Good.

　　MRS HUGHES

　　And Miss O'Brien, I've sent Anna to bed with a cold, so I need you to manage the young ladies.

　　MISS O'BRIEN

　　What, all three of them' I'm not an octopus¹. Why can't Gwen do it'

　　MRS HUGHES

　　Because she is not a lady's maid.

　　MISS O'BRIEN

　　I am not a slave.

　　MRS HUGHES

　　Just do it, Miss O'Brien. Just do it.

　　[INT. HAVEL AND CARTER - DAY]

　　VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　I'll pay you the compliment that I do not believe you wish to inherit just because nobody's investigated properly.

　　MATTHEW CRAWLEY

　　No, but—

　　VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　Nor can Murray accuse you of making trouble when you're the one who will suffer most from a discovery.

　　MATTHEW CRAWLEY

　　You're right that I don't wish to benefit at Mary's expense from an ignorance of the law--

　　VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　Putting it bluntly, do you think Robert has thrown in the towel prematurely²'

　　[Violet's chair creaks.]

　　VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　Good heavens, what am I sitting on'

　　MATTHEW CRAWLEY

　　A swivel chair.

　　VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　Oh, another modern brainwave'

　　MATTHEW CRAWLEY

　　Not very modern. They were invented by Thomas Jefferson.

　　VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　Why does every day involve a fight with an American'

　　MATTHEW CRAWLEY

　　I'll fetch a different one.

　　VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　No, no. No, no, I'm a good sailor.

　　MATTHEW CRAWLEY

　　It will depend on the exact terms of the entail³ and of the deed of gift when Cousin Cora's money was transferred to the estate.

　　VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　That is all I ask. To understand the exact terms.
