唐顿庄园第二季第六集_2

　　[INT. DOWNTON - DAY]

　　[The badly burned and bandaged Major Patrick Gordon looks atfamily photos.]

　　LADY EDITH

　　Hello. My name's Edith Crawley--

　　PATRICK GORDON

　　Lady Edith Crawley. I know. Second daughter of the house.

　　LADY EDITH

　　In charge of non-medical welfare. So, whatever you need in the way of errands run or books toread, then I'm your man.

　　PATRICK GORDON

　　Thank you. I--I hope this doesn't put you off.

　　LADY EDITH

　　I can assure you, at this stage there isn't much that puts me off.

　　PATRICK GORDON

　　Did they tell you we're related?

　　[Patrick steps through the doorway, into the light. Edith is shocked by his facial scars.] LADYEDITH

　　Er, yes. But I'm afraid I'm not much good at family history. Although, Papa's found an aunt in1860 who married a Gordon. Perhaps that's a clue.

　　PATRICK GORDON

　　N--no. That isn't it.

　　LADY EDITH

　　Well, a--as I say, I'm hopeless.

　　[Edith continues to avoid looking at him and turns to leave.]

　　PATRICK GORDON

　　I thought you'd recognize my voice, but of course I sound Canadian now.

　　LADY EDITH

　　You mean we've met before?

　　PATRICK GORDON

　　It was a long time ago.

　　[Sybil steps in for a moment in her nurse's uniform.]

　　LADY SYBIL

　　Edith? I need you

　　[Edith leaves with her.]

　　[INT. SERVANTS' HALL - DAY]

　　[Jane follows Daisy with a pamphlet while Daisy does her chores.]

　　JANE

　　It just explains what you're entitled to.

　　DAISY MASON

　　That's kind, but let's face it, I'm not a widow, am I? Not really.

　　JANE

　　Of course you are.

　　DAISY MASON

　　No, I'm not. How long was I married? Six hours? Seven? I shouldn't've taken his name, except itwere what he wanted.

　　JANE

　　Well...

　　[Jane puts the pamphlet on the table.]

　　JANE

　　I'll leave it with you.

　　[Jane leaves and Daisy turns to go.]

　　MRS PATMORE

　　Daisy, it wouldn't please William if you don't take what's owing. He wanted you to be looked after

　　DAISY MASON

　　No. You made me a liar while he was alive. You'll not make me be false to his memory.

　　[Daisy leaves Mrs Patmore to think on that.]

　　[INT. GUEST BEDROOM - EVENING]

　　[Someone knocks at the door while Carlisle's valet helps him dress.]

　　SIR RICHARD CARLISLE

　　You can leave me, Brookes.

　　MR BROOKES

　　Yes, sir.

　　MR CARSON

　　Mr Bates said you wanted to see me, sir.

　　[Carlisle's valet leaves.]

　　SIR RICHARD CARLISLE

　　Ah, yes. I asked you up here because I want to offer you a job.

　　MR CARSON

　　I have a job, sir.

　　SIR RICHARD CARLISLE

　　Yes, of course you do. I'm sure you enjoy it. I don't mean to suggest I'm offering a better one.

　　[Carson fetches Carlisle his dinner jacket.]

　　SIR RICHARD CARLISLE

　　Thank you. Although, it would mean a considerable increase in salary. Lady Mary and I intend tobuy a home near Downton. It's a long way from London, but I've made enough money to pleasemyself these days. I know she holds you in high regard. I believe she would very much appreciateyour help when she first sets up house as a bride.

　　MR CARSON

　　You mean, you wish me to leave Downton Abbey and transfer--

　　SIR RICHARD CARLISLE

　　Tomorrow we go to see Hacksby Park. If we buy it, we'll take on the whole twelve-thousand acres.

　　MR CARSON

　　No doubt you will discover many interesting walks to enjoy.

　　SIR RICHARD CARLISLE

　　Of course it's run down, but there's nothing wrong with it that money can't fix. So...what do youthink?

　　MR CARSON

　　One thing I must ask. Is Lady Mary aware that you have approached me?

　　SIR RICHARD CARLISLE

　　Not yet. I wanted to surprise her. She thinks highly of you, Carson. I hope I won't be taking on arival.

　　MR CARSON

　　I await Lady Mary's instruction. [Carson leaves.]

　　[INT. GREAT HALL - EVENING]

　　VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　I don't dislike him, I just don't like him, which is quite different.

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　Did he talk about Hacksby? He's got ghastly plans for the place. Of course, Cora doesn't agree.

　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　I'm an American. I don't share your English hatred of comfort.

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　Downton's comfortable enough for me. I can't wait to have it back.

　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　That's if Cousin Isobel allows it. She turned up today with a hideous list of projects that stretch to1920 and beyond.

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　Hmm.

　　VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　Well, surely you can put her off

　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　I don't know how once the bit's between her teeth.

　　VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　Well, change the bridle. Find a cause that needs her more than Downton.

　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　She's such a martyr

　　VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　Then we must tempt her with a more enticing scaffold.

　　[Violet leaves for the evening.]
