　　[INT. OUTER HALL - EVENING]

　　[Matthew enters the house as the ladies are walking from the dining room to the drawing room.]

　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　Don't stay too late. Let them have an early night.

　　VIOLET¹, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　Sybil, Sybil, darling, why would you want to go to real school' You're not a doctor's daughter.

　　LADY SYBIL

　　But nobody learns anything from a governess apart from French and how to curtsy.

　　VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　Well, what else do you need?

　　LADY SYBIL

　　Well, there's—

　　VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　Are you thinking of a career in banking²?

　　[Mary turns around and sees Matthew through the glass door. She holds up a hand to wait until the others have

　　gone into the next room.]

　　LADY SYBIL

　　No, but it is a noble profession.

　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　Things are different in America.

　　VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　I know. They live in wigwams.

　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　And when they come out of them, they go to school.

　　[Mary goes to the door and opens it to speak to Matthew.]

　　LADY MARY (whisper)

　　If you wait in the library, I'll tell Papa you're here.

　　MATTHEW CRAWLEY

　　Thank you.

　　[William watches the exchange.]

　　[EXT. THE VILLAGE FAIR - EVENING]

　　JOE BURNS

　　Elsie? It is Elsie, isn't it?

　　MRS HUGHES

　　It is. Though, there's very few left to call me that, Joe Burns.

　　JOE BURNS

　　Well, I'm flattered³ that I'm one of them.

　　[INT. LIBRARY - EVENING]

　　[Carson brings in the port.]

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　Where's Thomas?

　　MR CARSON

　　I'm afraid I let some of the servants go down to the fair, my lord⁴. I didn't know we'd have any visitors

　　tonight.

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　Well, that's all right. They don't have much fun. You should join them. So, what did you say to

　　Mama?

　　MATTHEW CRAWLEY

　　I haven't spoken to her since her visit, but I have looked through every source and I can't find one reason on

　　which to base a challenge.

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　I could have told you that.

　　MATTHEW CRAWLEY

　　I'm not quite sure how to phrase it when I tell her.

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　She shouldn't have put you on the spot like that. It was unkind⁵.

　　MATTHEW CRAWLEY

　　I'm afraid she'll think I've failed because I don't want to succeed.

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　She will think that, but I don't. And nor will Cora.

　　MATTHEW CRAWLEY

　　Of course it's impossible for Mary. She must resent⁶ me so bitterly. And I don't blame her.

　　[INT. THE GRANTHAM ARMS - EVENING]

　　[Mrs Hughes and Joe burns sit at a table having dinner.]

　　MRS HUGHES

　　Yes, it must have been hard for you when Ivy⁷ died.

　　JOE BURNS

　　Took some getting used to.

　　MRS HUGHES

　　What about your son? Do you see much of him?

　　JOE BURNS

　　Peter? No. I would've given him a share of the farm if he wanted it, but he's joined the army.

　　MRS HUGHES

　　Well, I never.

　　JOE BURNS

　　Oh, he seems happy, but he's left me on me own.

　　[WHO]

　　…take your plate, then.

　　JOE BURNS

　　Thank you. So, how's life treated you'

　　MRS HUGHES

　　Oh, I can't complain. I haven't travelled, but I've seen a bit of life and no mistake.

　　JOE BURNS

　　I notice you call yourself Misses.

　　MRS HUGHES

　　Housekeepers⁸ and cooks are always Misses. You know better than anyone I haven't changed

　　my name.

　　JOE BURNS

　　Well, I know you wouldn't change it to Burns when you had the chance.
