But not the job. 28 00:02:22,226 --> 00:02:24,520 The mistress was a nice lady, but she had only one car 29 00:02:24,603 --> 00:02:27,273 and she wouldn't let me drive it over 20 miles an hour. 30 00:02:27,398 --> 00:02:29,525 So it was a bit... 31 00:02:29,608 --> 00:02:31,569 Well, boring, so to speak. 32 00:02:33,904 --> 00:02:35,489 You've got a wonderful library. 33 00:02:37,116 --> 00:02:40,369 You're very welcome to borrow books, if you wish. 34 00:02:40,453 --> 00:02:41,495 Really, my lord? 35 00:02:41,579 --> 00:02:45,333 Well, there's a ledger over there that I make everyone use, even my daughters. 36 00:02:45,416 --> 00:02:49,003 Carson and mrs Hughes sometimes take a novel or two. 37 00:02:49,086 --> 00:02:51,630 - What are your interests? - History and politics, mainly. 38 00:02:52,590 --> 00:02:53,632 Heavens! 39 00:02:55,092 --> 00:02:57,261 Carson, Branson is going to borrow some books. 40 00:02:57,345 --> 00:03:00,765 - He has my permission. - Very good, my lord. 41 00:03:00,848 --> 00:03:03,601 - Branson: Is that all, my lord? - It is. 42 00:03:04,143 --> 00:03:06,270 Off you go and good luck. 43 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:15,571 He seems a bright spark after poor old Taylor. 44 00:03:15,654 --> 00:03:19,116 And to think Taylor's gone off to run a tea shop. 45 00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:23,079 I cannot feel it will make for a very restful retirement, can you? 46 00:03:23,162 --> 00:03:25,623 I would rather be put to death, my lord. 47 00:03:28,125 --> 00:03:30,544 Quite so. Thank you, Carson. 48 00:03:32,004 --> 00:03:34,256 How about some house parties? 49 00:03:34,340 --> 00:03:37,218 She's been asked to one next month by lady Anne mcnair. 50 00:03:37,468 --> 00:03:40,888 A most terrible idea. She doesn't know anyone under 100. 51 00:03:41,389 --> 00:03:44,308 I might send her over to visit my aunt. She could get to know New York. 52 00:03:44,850 --> 00:03:47,561 Oh, I don't think things are quite that desperate. 53 00:03:47,645 --> 00:03:50,648 Poor Mary, she's been terribly down in the mouth lately. 54 00:03:50,731 --> 00:03:53,692 She was very upset by the death of poor mr pamuk. 55 00:03:54,235 --> 00:03:56,654 Why? She didn't know him. 56 00:03:56,737 --> 00:03:59,698 One can't go to pieces at the death of every foreigner. 57 00:03:59,782 --> 00:04:03,494 We'd all be in a state of collapse whenever we opened a newspaper. 58 00:04:04,537 --> 00:04:11,377 Oh, no. Of course, Mary's main difficulty is that her situation is unresolved. 59 00:04:11,460 --> 00:04:14,588 I mean, is she an heiress or isn't she? 60 00:04:14,672 --> 00:04:17,425 The entail's unbreakable. Mary cannot inherit. 61 00:04:17,883 --> 00:04:19,718 No, what we need is a lawyer 62 00:04:19,802 --> 00:04:22,596 who's decent and honour bound to look into it. 63 00:04:24,390 --> 00:04:28,519 I... I think perhaps I know just the man. 64 00:04:30,896 --> 00:04:32,624 Matthew: Are you going to the fair while it's here? 65 00:04:32,648 --> 00:04:36,861 Oh, I shouldn't think so, sir. But I don't mind it. I like the music. 66 00:04:36,944 --> 00:04:39,655 Goodness, what's happened to your hands? 67 00:04:39,738 --> 00:04:41,282 It's nothing, ma'am. 68 00:04:41,365 --> 00:04:43,075 They look very painful. 69 00:04:43,159 --> 00:04:45,786 Oh, no, ma'am. Irritating more than painful. 70 00:04:45,870 --> 00:04:49,582 Have you been using anything new to Polish the silver or the shoes? 71 00:04:50,291 --> 00:04:51,542 - No. - May I? 72 00:04:52,418 --> 00:04:53,794 Leave him alone, mother. 73 00:04:59,884 --> 00:05:02,970 It looks like erysipelas. You must have cut yourself. 74 00:05:03,679 --> 00:05:06,359 - Not that I'm aware of. - Well walk round to the hospital tomorrow. 75 00:05:06,390 --> 00:05:08,559 - Really, ma'am... - I insist. 76 00:05:18,861 --> 00:05:21,614 You've got a cold. I want you out of here. 77 00:05:21,697 --> 00:05:24,950 Anna, there you are. You know I'm out tonight? 78 00:05:25,034 --> 00:05:27,411 Because I don't want to come home to any surprises. 79 00:05:27,495 --> 00:05:29,413 That'll be the day. 80 00:05:30,122 --> 00:05:34,084 We thought we might go to the fair later. You'd like that, wouldn't you, Daisy? 81 00:05:34,543 --> 00:05:36,003 Now, you ought to go. 82 00:05:36,086 --> 00:05:38,964 She's been that down in the mouth since the death of poor mr pamuk. 83 00:05:39,048 --> 00:05:40,549 - Don't say that. - Well, she has. 84 00:05:40,633 --> 00:05:43,802 We could all walk down together after the servants' dinner, if that's a good... 85 00:05:45,054 --> 00:05:49,934 You won't be walking anywhere. She's got minutes to live, by the sound of it. 86 00:05:50,017 --> 00:05:53,896 - Go to bed at once. - Yes, mrs Hughes. 87 00:05:54,396 --> 00:05:57,233 I'll bring up a beechams powder. 88 00:05:57,316 --> 00:06:01,362 Right. If there's anything you want to ask me, it'll need to be before I go. 89 00:06:01,445 --> 00:06:03,447 What would I want to ask you? 90 00:06:03,531 --> 00:06:06,033 I'm preparing a meal for lord and lady grantham and the girls. 91 00:06:06,116 --> 00:06:08,202 No one is visiting. No one is staying. 92 00:06:09,161 --> 00:06:12,122 Well, that's settled, then. 93 00:06:15,834 --> 00:06:20,172 I'm afraid dr clarkson's out delivering a baby. We don't know when he'll be back. 94 00:06:20,256 --> 00:06:22,550 No matter. If you'll just open the store cupboard, 95 00:06:22,633 --> 00:06:24,885 - I can easily find what I need. - Well, I... 96 00:06:24,969 --> 00:06:26,947 You can tell the doctor that you opened the cupboard 97 00:06:26,971 --> 00:06:28,305 for the chairman of the board. 98 00:06:28,389 --> 00:06:31,517 I assure you, he will raise not the slightest objection. 99 00:06:35,396 --> 00:06:37,022 This should do it. 100 00:06:37,106 --> 00:06:40,484 Tincture of steel, 10 drops in water, three times a day. 101 00:06:43,028 --> 00:06:47,783 And this is solution of nitrate of silver. Rub a little in, morning and night. 102 00:06:47,866 --> 00:06:51,829 - How long before it's better? - Erysipelas is very hard to cure. 103 00:06:51,912 --> 00:06:54,933 We should be able to reduce the symptoms, but that might be all we can manage. 104 00:06:54,957 --> 00:06:57,626 Oh, and you must wear gloves at all times. 105 00:06:57,710 --> 00:07:00,921 I couldn't wait a table in gloves. 106 00:07:01,005 --> 00:07:04,049 - I'd look like a footman. - You may have to. 107 00:07:04,133 --> 00:07:07,886 The tincture and the salve will help. Try it for a week and we'll see. 108 00:07:11,348 --> 00:07:15,686 - Someone to see you, mr crawley. - There's nothing in my diary. 109 00:07:15,853 --> 00:07:17,062 It's lady grantham. 110 00:07:18,272 --> 00:07:23,444 Well, in that case, show her in at once. Cousin Cora, to what do I owe the... 111 00:07:24,778 --> 00:07:26,697 I hope I'm not a disappointment. 112 00:07:29,867 --> 00:07:32,870 I thought it might be nice to cheer it up a bit. 113 00:07:32,953 --> 00:07:34,622 Easier said than done. 114 00:07:34,705 --> 00:07:38,042 Perhaps with a flower or a bit of veil or something. 115 00:07:38,125 --> 00:07:42,212 I can find you a veil if you like. I hope you're not expecting me to do it. 116 00:07:43,339 --> 00:07:46,133 - Not if you're busy, of course. - Good. 117 00:07:46,634 --> 00:07:50,054 And miss o'brien, I've sent Anna to bed with a cold, 118 00:07:50,179 --> 00:07:52,389 so I need you to manage the young ladies. 119 00:07:52,723 --> 00:07:57,061 What, all three of them? I'm not an octopus. Why can't Gwen do it? 120 00:07:57,394 --> 00:07:59,521 Because she is not a lady's maid. 121 00:07:59,980 --> 00:08:01,231 I am not a slave. 122 00:08:01,315 --> 00:08:04,735 Just do it, miss o'brien. Just do it. 123 00:08:08,739 --> 00:08:12,826 I'll pay you the compliment that I do not believe you wish to inherit 124 00:08:12,910 --> 00:08:15,496 just because nobody's investigated properly. 125 00:08:15,579 --> 00:08:16,580 No, but... 126 00:08:16,705 --> 00:08:18,832 Nor can Mary accuse you of making trouble, 127 00:08:18,916 --> 00:08:21,585 when you are the one who will suffer most from a discovery. 128 00:08:21,669 --> 00:08:24,505 You're right that I don't wish to benefit at Mary's expense 129 00:08:24,588 --> 00:08:26,090 from an ignorance of the law. 130 00:08:26,215 --> 00:08:27,675 Putting it bluntly, 131 00:08:27,758 --> 00:08:31,428 do you think Robert has thrown in the towel prematurely? 132 00:08:32,888 --> 00:08:36,350 - Good heavens, what am I sitting on? - A swivel chair. 133 00:08:36,433 --> 00:08:38,602 Oh, another modern brainwave? 134 00:08:38,727 --> 00:08:41,522 Not very modern.
