 　　唐顿庄园第二季第四集_3

　　[INT. RECREATION ROOM - DAY]

　　[Edith plays and Mary sings as they practice for the concert.]

　　LADY MARY

　　? If you were the only girl in the world and I were the only boy. ?

　　[Robert enters as they finish and applauds¹ with the officers.]

　　LADY EDITH (sighs) I wish we had a man.

　　LADY MARY

　　Amen.

　　LADY EDITH

　　It would sound so much richer. But all the volunteers are spoken for.

　　[Mary walks to her father.]

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　How's it going?

　　LADY MARY

　　All right, I suppose. If you don't mind singers who can't sing and actors who can't act.

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　It helps to keep their spirits up.

　　LADY MARY

　　So they say. Although I can't think why.

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　I had a letter this morning from Sir Richard Carlisle.

　　LADY MARY

　　Oh?

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM He--

　　[Robert waits for an officer to pass by.]

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　He tells  me he proposed² when he was  staying here.  He apologises  for  not asking my permission, but he's asking it now. Well, have you decided³? Is that why he's written?

　　LADY MARY

　　No. But I have made the decision.

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　Which is?

　　LADY MARY

　　I think I should take him.

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　Do you really, my darling? I wish I could believe in your motives⁴.

　　LADY MARY

　　Why? What were your motives when you married Mama?

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　Your mother has made me very happy.

　　LADY MARY

　　Perhaps Sir Richard will make me very happy.

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　What about Matthew?

　　LADY MARY

　　Not you, too. Poor Matthew. What must he do to persuade you he's in love with Lavinia? Open his chest and carve her name on his heart?

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　Write to him. Tell him of your plans with Carlisle. You owe him that.

　　LADY MARY

　　I don't think I owe him anything. But I'll write to him if you like.

　　[Robert watches her leave.]

　　[EXT. CRAWLEY HOUSE - DAY]

　　[Branson packs Isobel's bags on the car.]

　　ISOBEL CRAWLEY

　　I'll try to send you an address, but you can always get me through the Red Cross.

　　MR MOLESLEY

　　Very good, Ma'am.

　　[Isobel turns to the maid/cook.]

　　ISOBEL CRAWLEY

　　And I'll try to contact Captain Crawley, explain to him what's happened. If he does get leave, he'll probably come to me or stay in London. But if I miss him, and he turns up here, I know you'll look after him.

　　MRS BIRD

　　Of course I will, Ma'am.

　　ISOBEL CRAWLEY

　　Cook him what he likes, not what's good for him.

　　[Mrs Bird chuckles⁵.]

　　MRS BIRD

　　Y--you don't know when you'll be back?

　　[Isobel steps into the car.]

　　ISOBEL CRAWLEY

　　I don't think one knows anything in wartime. I'll try to give you warning. But in the mean time, look after yourselves. Now, I mustn't miss my train.

　　[Branson closes the door. Molesley and Bird smile at Isobel and she looks upset as she contemplates⁶ her decision for a moment before they drive off.]

　　MR MOLESLEY

　　So, what now?

　　[INT. LADY SYBIL'S BEDROOM - EVENING]

　　[Sybil finishes her hair as Mary enters.]

　　LADY MARY

　　Anna said you were honouring us with your presence⁷ at dinner.

　　LADY SYBIL

　　It's easier here in the hospital. And I can always get changed back into my uniform if I need to.

　　LADY MARY

　　What were you talking to Branson about? When I came into the yard?

　　LADY SYBIL

　　Nothing.

　　[Sybil walks away from the mirror.]

　　LADY MARY

　　Then why were you there?

　　LADY SYBIL

　　Why were you there?

　　LADY MARY

　　Because I was ordering the motor. That is why one talks to chauffeurs⁸, isn't it? To plan journeys by road.

　　LADY SYBIL

　　He is a person. He can discuss other things.

　　LADY MARY

　　I'm sure he can. But not with you.

　　LADY SYBIL

　　What do you want from me? Am I to see if Sir Richard Carlisle has a younger brother? One who's even richer than he is?

　　LADY MARY

　　Darling, what's the matter with you? I'm on your side.

　　LADY SYBIL

　　Then be on my side!
