MATTHEW CRAWLEY

　　It will depend on the exact terms of the entail 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.

　　[INT. SERVANTS' HALL - DAY]

　　WILLIAM

　　Is Daisy going to the fair tonight with the others'

　　MR BATES

　　Why don't you ask her? She needs taking out of herself. What's it to you'

　　THOMAS

　　Nothing.

　　WILLIAM

　　Daisy, I was hoping that—

　　THOMAS

　　Would you like to go to the fair with me, Daisy' There's a few of us going later on.

　　DAISY

　　Do you mean it?

　　MRS PATMORE

　　Daisy, don't let it get cold. Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on!

　　MR BATES

　　You bastard.

　　[EXT. THE VILLAGE - DAY]

　　[Sybil, Edith, and Cora walk towards the car where Branson is waiting.]

　　LADY EDITH

　　Why is Sybil having a new dress and not me'

　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　Because it's Sybil's turn.

　　LADY SYBIL

　　Can it be my choice this time'

　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　Of course, darling. As long as you choose what I choose. Branson, you'll be taking Lady Sybil to Ripon tomorrow. She'll be leaving after luncheon.

　　BRANSON

　　Certainly, Your Ladyship.

　　LADY SYBIL

　　Poor old Madame Swann. I don't know why we bother with fittings. She always makes the same frock.

　　LADY EDITH

　　What do you want her to make'

　　LADY SYBIL

　　Something new and exciting.

　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　Heavens, look at the time. Not a minute to change. And Granny's invited herself for dinner.

　　LADY SYBIL

　　Then she can jolly well wait.

　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　So, women's rights begin at home, I see. Well, I'm all for that.

　　[The ladies chuckle and Branson drives off.]

　　[INT. MR CARSON'S OFFICE - DAY]

　　MRS HUGHES

　　I'm just off, Mr Carson.

　　MR CARSON

　　According to the wine book, we should still have six dozen of this, but I'm beggared if I can find

　　much more than four.

　　MRS HUGHES

　　Look again before you jump to any nasty conclusions.

　　MR CARSON

　　Long time since you last took a night off.

　　MRS HUGHES

　　You don't think I ought to stay, do you'

　　MR CARSON

　　Certainly not. Be off with you.

　　MRS HUGHES

　　And Anna's in bed with a cold, so I'm afraid it's all down to you.

　　MR CARSON

　　Go.

　　[EXT. THE VILLAGE FAIR - EVENING]

　　[Matthew plays the Coconut Saloon game at the fair. Mary sees him and approaches.]

　　MATTHEW CRAWLEY

　　I wanted to have a go before I went home. How about you'

　　[Matthew digs in his pockets for more change.]

　　FAIR VENDOR

　　Thank you.

　　[The vendor hands Mary and Matthew some more balls to throw.]

　　LADY MARY

　　Thank you.

　　MATTHEW CRAWLEY

　　Do you know if your father's doing anything this evening'

　　LADY MARY

　　He's not coming to the fair.

　　MATTHEW CRAWLEY

　　Seriously.

　　LADY MARY

　　Well, having dinner with his family.

　　MATTHEW CRAWLEY

　　Could I look in afterwards'

　　LADY MARY

　　May I ask why'

　　MATTHEW CRAWLEY

　　Your grandmother paid me a visit this afternoon and I'm…well, never mind, but I—I would like to see him.

　　LADY MARY

　　Granny came to see you. Is it all part of The Great Matter' So, are you enjoying your new life

　　MATTHEW CRAWLEY

　　Yes, I think so. I know my work seems very trivial to you.

　　LADY MARY

　　Not necessarily. Sometimes I rather envy you, having somewhere to go every morning.

　　MATTHEW CRAWLEY

　　I thought that made me very middle class'

　　LADY MARY

　　You should learn to forget what I say. I know I do.

　　MATTHEW CRAWLEY

　　How about you' Is your life proving satisfactory, apart from the Great Matter, of course'

　　LADY MARY

　　Women like me don't have a life. We choose clothes and pay calls and work for charity and do the season, but really, we're stuck in a waiting room until we marry.

　　MATTHEW CRAWLEY

　　I've made you angry.

　　LADY MARY

　　My life makes me angry, not you.

　　[INT. ]

　　MR CARSON

　　I never put the Sauterne on ice. Mrs Hughes goes out for one night and we all fall to pieces!

　　THOMAS

　　Mr Carson, we wondered if we could walk down to the fair after dinner.

　　MR CARSON

　　I suppose so, but don't be too late.

　　MRS PATMORE

　　…that's right.

　　THOMAS

　　Where do you think she's gone'

　　WILLIAM

　　None of your business.

　　MRS PATMORE

　　Like most of what goes on 'round here.

　　DAISY

　　Oh!

　　THOMAS

　　Well caught, that man, though I say it myself.

　　DAISY

　　Thanks ever so. Yes'

　　MRS PATMORE

　　Well, you've cheered up a bit.

　　DAISY

　　He's so agile, i'in't he' He could have been a sportsman.

　　MRS PATMORE

　　Who'

　　DAISY

　　Thomas, of course.

　　MRS PATMORE

　　Really? Which sport did you have in mind'

　　[INT. GRAND STAIRCASE - EVENING]

　　LADY MARY

　　I ran into Cousin Matthew in the village. He wanted to call on you after dinner. Apparently, Granny's been to see him.

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　Did you tell him she's coming here this evening?

　　LADY MARY

　　Well, I didn't know she was.

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　When he arrives, do your best to keep her in the drawing room.

　　LADY MARY

　　Well, I'd like to see you try.

　　[Robert chuckles.]
