POSTMISTRESS ：There you are, Mr Bates, it's in. Came this morning.

MR BATES ：I said it would, which isn't quite the same thing.

MR BATES： Hello. I could've posted that for you.

GWEN ：Well, I prefer to do it myself.

MR BATES： I'll wait outside.

GWEN ：What are you doing?

ANNA：If you must know, I'm trying to find some space on top of the cupboard to make life easier.

ANNA ：So, what's in it, then?

GWEN： What?

ANNA ：The bleeding great packing case that weighs a ton, that's what.

GWE：Can't you just leave it?

ANNA： No, I can't. And you'll tell me right now.

CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM： Anything interesting?

LADY MARY： Not particularly. It's from Evelyn Napier. You met him at the Delta Fields last November at Doncaster races.

CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM ：Is that Lord Branksome's boy?

LADY MARY： It is.

CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM： Do you like him?

LADY MARY： I don't dislike him.

CORA,COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM： And what's he writing about?

LADY MARY： Oh, nothing much. He's out with the York and Ainsty next week. He'll meet us at Downton. He'll want some tea when he's up here.

CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM： Where's he staying? With friends?

LADY MARY： He says he's found a pub that caters供应伙食 for hunting.

CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM： Well, we can improve on that. He must come here. He can send the horses up early if he wants.

LADY MARY： He'll know why you're asking him.

CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM： I can't think what you mean. His mother's a friend of mine; she'll be pleased at the idea.

LADY MARY： Not very pleased. She's dead.

CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM： All the more reason, then. You can write a note, too, and put it in with mine.

LADY MARY： Should I tell him about your friendship with his late mother?

CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM： I'm sure you of all people can compose a letter to a young man without any help from me.

ANNA： How much did it cost?

GWEN： Every penny I'd saved. Al-- almost.

ANNA： And...i--is this the mystery lover?

GWEN ：Well, I've been taking a correspondence通信 course in typing and shorthand速记法. That's what was in the envelopes.

ANNA： Are you any good?

GWEN： Yes. I am, actually.

MISS OBRIEN ：Eh, Her Ladyship wants the full skirt伞裙，宽下摆女裙 Lady Mary never wears. A seamstress is going to fit it to Lady Sybil, but I can't find it.

ANNA ：I'll come in a minute.

MISS OBRIEN： They're waiting now.

ANNA： One minute. I'm just changing my cap and apron.

ANNA ：Have you told anyone?

ANNA： What did your parents say?

GWEN ：Well, I can't tell them till I've got a job. Dad will think I'm a fool to leave a good place and Mum will say I'm getting above 超过myself, but...but I don't believe that.

ANNA： Nor do I.

CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM： It's not of my doing. It's all Mary's own work, but I think we should encourage it.

ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM： Branksome's a dull dog, but I don't suppose that matters.

CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM ：Did you know his wife had died?

ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM： He only ever talks about racing

VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM： Cora is right. Mary won't take Matthew Crawley, so we'd better get her settled before the bloom is quite gone off the rose.

CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM： Is the family and old one?

VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM： Older than yours I imagine.

ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM： Old enough.

CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM： And there's plenty of money.

VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM： Oh, really?

CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM  ： Mm.

ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM： Mama, you've already looked him up in the stud books and made inquiries about the fortune, don't pretend otherwise. Are you afraid someone will think you're American if you speak openly?

VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM： I doubt it'll come to that.

CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM： Shall I ring for tea?

ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM： No, not for me. I'm meeting Cripps at five. I'll see you at dinner.

CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM： You don't seem very pleased.

VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM： I'm pleased. It's not brilliant, but I'm pleased.

CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM ：So...?

VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM： I don't want Robert to use a marriage as an excuse to stop fighting for Mary's inheritance.

CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM： It won't make any difference. I don't think he has the slightest intention of fighting as it is. The price of saving Downton is to accept Matthew Crawley as his heir.

VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM： What about you?

CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM： I don't dislike Matthew. In fact, I rather admire him.

VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM： Is that sufficient 充足reason to give him your money?

CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM： Of course not!

VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM： Then there's nothing more to be said. Are we going to have tea or not?

LADY EDITH： Oh.

MATTHEW CRAWLEY： Hello. I'd offer you a lift if I could.

LADY EDITH： It was you I was coming to see.

MATTHEW CRAWLEY： Oh, then your timing is matchless. I just got off the train.

LADY EDITH ：The other day at dinner, Cousin Isobel was saying you wanted to see some of the local churches.

MATTHEW CRAWLEY： She's right, I do. I want to know more about the county generally if I'm to live here.

LADY EDITH： Well, I thought I might show you a few of the nearer ones. We could take a picnic and make an outing of it.

MATTHEW CRAWLEY ：That's very kind.

LADY EDITH： Nonsense. I'll enjoy it. It's too long since I played the tourist. MATTHEW CRAWLEY ：It would have to be a Saturday. Churches work on Sunday and I work all the week days.

LADY EDITH ：Then Saturday it is. I'll get Lynch to sort out the governess cart and I'll pick you up at about eleven.

DAISY： How does it work?

WILLIAM ：It's easy. You just press the letters and they print on the paper.

MR CARSON： Get back, please.

MISS O'BRIEN ：They were trying to hide it, so I knew it was wrong.

MR CARSON： Where's Gwen now?

THOMAS： Doing the dining room with Anna. They'll be finished soon.

MR CARSON： Then I'll wait.

MRS HUGHES： With all due respect, Mr Carson, Gwen is under my jurisdiction. 管辖权

MR CARSON： Indeed she is, Mrs Hughes, and I have no intention of usurping 篡夺your authority. I merely want to get to the bottom of弄清真相 it.

WILLIAM： Why shouldn't Gwen have a typewriter if she wants one?

THOMAS： Mind your own business. 管好自己

GWEN： What's that doing here?

MRS HUGHES： Ah, Gwen. Come in.

GWEN： Why is that down here? Who's been in my room? They had no right!

MRS HUGHES MR CARSON： See here! In the first place, none of the rooms in this house belong to you. And in the second, I am in charge of your welfare and that gives me every right.

ANNA： This is you isn't it?

MR CARSON： All we want is to know what Gwen wants with a typewriter and why she feels the need to keep it secret.

ANNA： She wants to keep it private, not secret. There's a difference.

MR BATES ：Amen.

GWEN： I've done nothing to be ashamed of. I've bought a typewriter and I've taken a postal course in shorthand. I'm not aware that either of these actions is illegal.

MRS HUGHES： Will you tell us why, preferably without any more cheek?

GWEN： Because I want to leave service. I want to be a secretary.

MRS HUGHES ：You want to leave service?

MISS O'BRIEN： What's wrong with being in service?做仆人

GWEN ：Nothing's wrong with it, and there's nothing wrong with mending roads neither, but it's not what  I want to do

. MR CARSON： I should remind you that there are plenty of young girls who will be glad of a position in this house.

GWEN： And when I hand in my notice, I shall be happy to think one of them will be taking my place.

MISS O'BRIEN ：What makes you think we'll wait till then?

ANNA： Are you hiring and sacking 解雇now, Miss O'Brien? I thought that lay with Mr Carson and Mrs Hughes.

MR CARSON： Enough of this. I'm going to ring the dressing gong and we'll have no more talk of this tonight.

GWEN ：Can I have my machine back now?

MR CARSON： Very well. But I wish I was sure you know what you're doing.

MRS PATMORE： Daisy! What's happened to you? I said you could go for a drink of water, not a trip up the Nile.

ANNA ：Which churches will you show him?

LADY EDITH： I can't decide. Kirby, possibly, or perhaps Easingwold.

LADY MARY： You don't think you're being a bit obvious?

LADY EDITH ：Coming from you, that's rich.

CORA,  COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM ：There was a letter from Mr Napier in the evening post.

LADY MARY： Mm. Did he accept?

CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM： Not yet.

LADY EDITH ：Perhaps he thought it was too obvious.

CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM： Apparently he's bringing a friend with him, an attaché at the Turkish embassy. A Mr...

CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM： Kemal Pamuk. He's a son of one of the sultan's ministers and he's here for the Albanian talks.

LADY MARY： What's that?

LADY EDITH： To create an independent Albania. Don't you read the papers?

LADY MARY： I'm too busy living a life.

CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM： Since Turkey's signature is vital, Mr Napier's been given the job of keeping him happy until the conference begins and he's eager to try an English hunt. I shall invite this Mr Pamuk to stay here as well. Who knows? A little hospitality 好客in an English house may make all the difference to the outcome. And Mary, you will ride out with him.

LADY MARY ：Oh, Mama, must I? My boots are at the menders and I haven't ridden for weeks.

CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM： Anna, please see that Lady Mary is fully equipped to go hunting.

ANNA：Yes, Your Ladyship.

ARTIFICIAL LIMBS MAN： Yes?

MR BATES： I saw this advertisement for a-- a limp corrector校正器.

ARTIFICIAL LIMBS MAN： Yes?

MR BATES：What does it do exactly?

ARTIFICIAL LIMBS MAN ：It corrects limps.

MR BATES ：Does it work?

ARTIFICIAL LIMBS MAN： Well, as I make it and I advertise it, is it likely I'd say no?

MR BATES： Can I see one?

ARTIFICIAL LIMBS MAN： Here we are. You adjust this to the right height to minimize the limp. You tighten these gradually, as tight as you can stand, and as the legs straighten, the foot lowers to the floor. Can't say it's going to be easy, and you can't slack. Every day, all day if you mean business.认真，当真

MR BATES： All right. How much?

ISOBEL CRAWLEY： She asks if we can both dine on Saturday. There are two young men staying, so you won't be so outnumbered数量上超过 for once.

MATTHEW CRAWLEY： What men?

ISOBEL CRAWLEY： A...Turkish土耳其 diplomat 外交官called something I can't read "and Lord Branksome's charming son", who's to be flung 撮合at Mary, presumably.

MATTHEW CRAWLEY ：When it comes to Cousin Mary, she's quite capable of 能够doing her own flinging, I assure you.

ANNA： Ugh, open the door, can you?

ANNA： I couldn't find her britches马裤 anywhere, so I asked Mr Bates and he looked among His Lordship's riding clothes. There they were. I only hope to God I've got everything.

ANNA ：Hat I'll do here. Gloves and crop are in the hall.

ANNA ：Gwen?whatever＇s the matter?Hey, come on, sit down. Hey?

MR BATES： What's up?

GWEN ：Oh...oh, I'm just being silly. You should get that brushed.

MR BATES： He won't be up for another half an hour. Now, what is it?

GWEN： Well, I suppose I've just realised that it's not going to happen.

MR BATES： What isn't?

GWEN： None of it. I'm not going to be a secretary. I'm not going to leave service. I doubt I'll leave here before I'm sixty.

ANNA： Hey, what's all this?

GWEN： Oh, you saw their faces. And their right. Oh, look at me! I'm the daughter of a farmhand, I'm lucky to be a maid. I was born with nothing and I'll die with nothing.

MR BATES： Don't talk like that. You can change your life if you want to. Sometimes you have to be hard on yourself, but you can change it completely, I know.

ANNA： Mr Bates? Are you all right?

MR BATES ：Take her upstairs. Dry her off.

ANNA： Come on, Gwen. Hey?

MRS HUGHES ：Mr Bates? What's the matter?

MR BATES： Nothing. Not a thing. I'm fine.

MRS HUGHES： Let me help you.

MR BATES ：I'm perfectly all right, thank you Mrs Hughes.

MRS HUGHES ：Are you sure? You're as white as a sheet. 苍白如纸

MR BATES： It's my wonderful complexion inherited 遗传from my Irish mother.

MRS PATMORE： Take it. Take it, don't dawdle!浑浑噩噩

MR CARSON： His Lordship... William...

THOMAS：Sir.

LYNCH： Can you see them, milady?

LADY MARY： Not yet. Oh, wait a minute, here is

Mr Napier. I was beginning to give up on you. We're moving off.

EVELYN NAPIER： We were fools not to accept your mother's invitation and send the horses down early. As it is, my groom only got here an hour or two ago and my mount's as jump as a deb at her first ball.

LADY MARY： What about Mr Pamuk? I gather if he takes a tumble, you will be endangering world peace.

EVELYN NAPIER： Don't worry about Kemal. He knows what he's doing on a horse. LADY MARY Well, where is he?

EVELYN NAPIER： Fussing. 挑剔He's rather a dandy.花花公子

LADY MARY： Well, I can see him now. A funny little foreigner with a wide, toothy 露齿的grin露齿而笑 and hair reeking with pomade.润发油

EVELYN NAPIER： I wouldn't quite say that. Here he is now.

KEMAL PAMUK： Lady Mary Crawley, I presume?

LADY MARY： You presume right.

KEMAL PAMUK： Sorry to be so dishevelled衣冠不整. We've been on a train since dawn and we had to change更衣 in a shed.

LADY MARY： You don't look dishevelled to me.

LADY MARY： Lynch, you don't have to stay with me.

LYNCH： But His Lordship asked me to.

LADY MARY： It's a waste of your day. Help Mr Napier's man get their things back to house.

LYNCH： His Lordship said

EVELYN NAPIER：Don't worry, I'll look after her.

KEMAL PAMUK： We'll make it our business to keep her from harm, I promise.

LADY MARY： I hope the day is living up to 不辜负your expectations.

KEMAL PAMUK ：It is exceeding them in every way.

LADY MARY： And where's Mr Napier?

KEMAL PAMUK： He's gone over the bridge, look.

LADY MARY： Ah.

KEMAL PAMUK And, er, what about you? Will you follow him? Or will you come over the jump with me?

LADY MARY： Oh, I was never much one for going 'round by the road.

KEMAL PAMUK ：Stay by me and we'll take it together.

LADY EDITH ：I wish we could talk a little more about you. What was it like growing up in Manchester?

MATTHEW CRAWLEY： Does it say anything about the side aisle?

LADY EDITH ：The side aisles走廊 were added in the 14th century by Bishop Richard De Warren.

MATTHEW CRAWLEY ：Yes, you can see that in the...treatment of the stone.

LADY EDITH： It's wonderful to think of all those men and women worshipping together through the centuries, isn't it? Dreaming and hoping much as we do, I suppose.

MATTHEW CRAWLEY： Was the screen at Cromwell casualty?

LADY EDITH： I--I daresay猜想.

MATTHEW CRAWLEY： I wonder how Mary's getting on.

LADY EDITH： All right, I should think. Why?

MATTHEW CRAWLEY： I just wonder. Will she stay with the hunt the whole day? LADY EDITH You know Mary, she likes to be in at the kill. 好戏的最后一刻

MATTHEW CRAWLEY： Where shall we go next?

LADY EDITH： Not home?

MATTHEW CRAWLEY ：Oh, not yet. We've time for one more at least before we lose the light.

LADY EDITH： I underestimated your enthusiasm.

KEMAL PAMUK： Come on. --

THOMAS： Is that one mine?

ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM ：Home is the hunter home from the hill.

ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM ：Heavens, you hou have been in the wars.吃苦头

LADY MARY： Papa, this is Mr Pamuk. My father, Lord Grantham.

KEMAL PAMUK： How do you do, my lord?

ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM： Did you have a good day?

KEMAL PAMUK： Couldn't have been better.

MR CARSON ：This is Thomas, sir. He'll be looking after you.

LADY MARY： You remember Mr Napier.

CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM： Of course. How are you?

EVELYN NAPIER： So kind of you to have us, Lady Grantham.

LADY MARY： And this is Mr Pamuk.

CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM： How do you do?

KEMAL PAMUK： My lady.

ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM ：Well, what would you like?

LADY MARY： Just baths. We're worn out.

THOMAS： Erm, your cases are upstairs, sir, if you'd like to follow me.

KEMAL PAMUK： Yes.

ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM ： Well, I hope Mary hasn't left you too exhausted. EVELYN NAPIER  No, not a bit of it.

GWEN： He doesn't look Turkish土耳其人 at all.

ANNA： Well, he doesn't look like any Englishman I've ever met. Worse luck. I think he's beautiful.

MR CARSON： Is there some crisis of which I am unaware?

MISS O'BRIEN ：No, Mr Carson

MR CARSON ：I cannot think of another reason why you should congregate 聚集here.

ANNA No, Mr Carson.

ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM：

Have you seen our visitor? Quite a treat for the ladies.

MR BATES： Indeed, milord.

ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM ：Are they settled in all right?

MR BATES： I believe so. Mr Napier's valet seems a competent 能干的fellow and Thomas knows what he's doing.

ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM： Why doesn't the gorgeous Turk have his own chap? MR BATES Apparently his man speaks no English, so Mr Pamuk decided to leave him in London.

ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM ：Probably very wise. I hope Thomas doesn't mind.

MR BATES： Oh, you know Thomas, milord. He has to have a grumble爱抱怨, but I gather he cheered up when he saw the gentleman.

ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM： Bates, is anything wrong?

MR BATES： Nothing at all, milord. Is that strap皮带 too tight?

ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM： Mm.

THOMAS： Can I adjust it, sir?

KEMAL PAMUK：Now, I'm relying on you to see that I go downstairs properly dressed.

THOMAS： Don't worry, sir. I've got sharp eyes for anything out of order.

KEMAL PAMUK： Then I put myself entirely in your hands.

THOMAS ：You do right, sir.

THOMAS： I should love to visit Turkey.

KEMAL PAMUK ：Yes, it's a...it's a wonderful country.

KEMAL PAMUK： My man always does this. Can you?

THOMAS： I'm very attracted to the Turkish culture.

KEMAL PAMUK： Then I hope your chance will come to something.

THOMAS： I hope so, too.

KEMAL PAMUK： You forget yourself!

THOMAS： I--I'm sorry, sir. I--

KEMAL PAMU：That will teach you to believe what the English say about foreigners. I ought to report you.

THOMAS： I think...you must ha-

KEMAL PAMUK ：I mistook nothing. But...I will make you an offer.

KEMAL PAMUK： Later tonight I may need some help with the...geography of house. THOMAS :The geography?

KEMAL PAMUK： Yes. I'm not sure yet, but I may wish to pay someone a visit. If that is the case,情况属实 you will help me...

KEMAL PAMUK： And I will say nothing of your behaviour.

VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM： I don't understand. Why--why would she want to be a secretary?

MATTHEW CRAWLEY ：She wants a different life.

VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM： But why? I should far prefer to be a maid in a large and pleasant house than work from dawn till dusk in a cramped 狭窄的and gloomy 黑暗的office. Don't you agree, Carson?

MR CARSON： I do, my lady.

LADY MARY ：Why are we talking about this? What does it matter?

CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM： It matters that the people that live and work here are content.

LADY SYBIL： Of course. We should be helping Gwen if that's what she wants. ISOBEL CRAWLEY ：I agree. Surely we must all encourage those less fortunate to improve their lot where they can.

VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM： Not if it isn't in their best interests.利益

ISOBEL CRAWLEY： Isn't the maid a better judge of that than we are?

LADY MARY： What do you say, Mr Pamuk? Should our housemaid be kept enslaved or forced out赶出 into the world?

KEMAL PAMUK： Why are you English so curious about other people's lives? If she wishes to leave, and the law permits it, then let her go.

VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM： But perhaps the law should not permit it, for the common good.共同的利益

ISOBEL CRAWLEY： So, you hanker for the days of serfdom.农奴

VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM： I hanker for 渴望a simpler world. Is that a crime?

KEMAL PAMUK： I do dream of a simpler world, as long as we can keep our trains and our dentistry. 牙医

LADY MARY： I wish I shared your enthusiasm. Our dentist is horrid.

KEMAL PAMUK： Well, why go to him, then?

LADY MARY ：Well, he treated all of us when we were children. You know how the English are .about these things.

KEMAL PAMUK： Mm.

KEMAL PAMUK： Well, the next time you feel a twinge剧痛, you must come to Istanbul.

LADY MARY： Wouldn't the journey be painful?

KEMAL PAMUK： Sometimes we must endure a little pain in order to achieve satisfaction.

EVELYN NAPIER： Lady Mary rode very well today.

ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM： Why did you send Lynch back?

LADY MARY： I had my champions to left and right. It was enough.

ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM： Did you enjoy the hunt today, Mr Napier? Mary said you had a tremendous run.

EVELYN NAPIER： It was like something out of a trollop novel.

CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM： What about you, Mr Pamuk? Was your day successful?

KEMAL PAMUK： Oh, yes, Lady Grantham. I can hardly remember a better one.

ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM： Mary has more suitors tonight than the Princess Aurora.

VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM： Will she judge them sensibly? ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM Oh, no one's sensible at her age. Nor should they be. That's our role.

KEMAL PAMUK： Well, if you'll excuse me.

MATTHEW CRAWLEY： Was it fun to be back in the saddle马鞍?

LADY MARY： Yes. Although, I'll pay for it tomorrow.

MATTHEW CRAWLEY： Would you ever come out with me? Or aren't we friends enough for that?

LADY MARY： Oh, I think it might be—

EVELYN NAPIER： That run reminded me of a day last month up in Cheshire.

EVELYN NAPIER： We came down the side of a hill and—

LADY MARY： Excuse me.

MATTHEW CRAWLEY： It seems we must brush up on 提高our powers of fascination.

EVELYN NAPIER I was a fool to bring him here.

MATTHEW CRAWLEY： Don't you like him?

EVELYN NAPIER ： Well, I like him very much, but so does everyone else, unfortunately.

EVELYN NAPIER： Excuse me.

MATTHEW CRAWLEY： I hope I didn't wear you out today.

LADY EDITH ：Not at all. I enjoyed it. We must do it again.

MATTHEW CRAWLEY： Next time, let's take my mother. She was so jealous she made me promise she could come with us.

LADY EDITH： Of course. How nice that would be

LADY MARY： What is it?

KEMAL PAMUK： Is this picture really a Della Francesca?

LADY MARY： I think so. The second earl brought back several paintings from--

LADY MARY： Mr Pamuk!

KEMAL PAMUK： Let me come to you tonight, please.

LADY MARY： I can't think what I have said that has led you to believe—

KEMAL PAMUK： Please. I don't know when we'll meet again. So let it be tonight.

LADY MARY： Mr Pamuk, I will not repeat your words to my father since I should hate to see you cast out 驱逐into the darkness, but can we agree to consider them unsaid? Now, if you'll excuse me, I shall rejoin my mother and sisters.

LADY MARY： You must be mad!

KEMAL PAMUK： I am. I am in the grip of 受……的控制madness.

LADY MARY： Please leave at once or I'll...

KEMAL PAMUK ：Or you'll what?

LADY MARY： I'll scream.

KEMAL PAMUK： No, you won't.

LADY MARY： Well, I'll ring the bell, then.

KEMAL PAMUK： And who's on duty now? The hall boy? Will you really let him find a man in your bedroom? What a story.

LADY MARY： Do you have any idea what you're asking? I'd be ruined if they even knew we'd had this conversation, let alone if they—

KEMAL PAMUK： What? Don't worry. You can still be a virgin for your husband.

LADY MARY： Heavens, is this a proposal?

KEMAL PAMUK ：Oh. Alas, no. I don't think our union would please your family.

LADY MARY： I'm afraid not.

KEMAL PAMUK： Nor mine. But...

KEMAL PAMUK ：...a little imagination...you wouldn't be the first

. LADY MARY： You and my parents have something in common.

KEMAL PAMUK： Oh?

LADY MARY ：You believe I'm...

LADY MARY ：...much more of a rebel than I am. Now, please go.

LADY MARY： I'm not what you think I am. If it's my mistake, if I've led you on, I'm sorry, but...I'm not.

KEMAL PAMUK： You are just what I think you are.

LADY MARY ：No. I've never done anything.

KEMAL PAMUK： Of course not. One look at you would tell me that.

KEMAL PAMUK： Oh, my darling.

LADY MARY： Won't it hurt? Is it safe?

KEMAL PAMUK： Trust me.

LADY MARY ：He's dead. I think he's dead. No, I'm sure he's dead.

ANNA ：But how? Wh...

LADY MARY： We were together and...he's dead.

ANNA： In your room?

ANNA： We've got to get him back to his own bed.

LADY MARY： But how? It's in the bachelor's corridor 走廊miles from my room.

ANNA： Well, could we manage it between us?

LADY MARY ：He weighs a ton. I can hardly shift him at all. We'll need at least one other. What about Bates?

ANNA： He couldn't lift him. William  can't keep a secret, and Thomas wouldn't try to.

LADY MARY ：We've got to do something!

ANNA ：Then who else has as much to lose as you if it ever gets out?

LADY MARY： Not Papa. Please don't say Papa, I couldn't bear the way he'd look at me.

ANNA ：No, not His Lordship.

CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM： What happened?

LADY MARY： I don't know. A heart attack, I suppose, or a stroke or...he was alive and suddenly he cried out and then he was dead!

CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM： But...why was he here at all? Did he force himself on you?

C CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM： Well...

CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM： We can talk about that later. Now, we must decide what to do for the best.

ANNA ：There's only one thing we can do.

CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM： I couldn't. It's not possible.

LADY MARY： If you don't, we will figure in 卷进去a scandal 丑闻of such magnitude程度 it will never be forgotten until long after we're both dead. I'll be ruined, Mama! Ruined and notorious名声狼藉, a laughingstock, a social pariah.贱民 Is that what you want for your eldest daughter? Is it what you want for the family?

CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM： We must cover him up.

CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM： Hurry, the servants will be up soon.

ANNA： We've got time.

LADY MARY： Mama!

CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM： Sorry!

LADY MARY ： I can't make his eyes stay shut.

CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM： Leave that and come away.

LADY MARY： He was so beautiful.

ANNA： Her Ladyship's right. We must get back to our rooms.

CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM： I feel now that I can never forgive what you have put me through this night. I hope in time I will come to be more merciful, but I doubt it.

LADY MARY： You won't tell Papa?

CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM： Since it would probably kill him, and certainly ruin his life, I will not. But I keep this secret for his sake, not for yours.

LADY MARY： Yes, Mama.

CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM： Anna, I will not insult you by asking that you also conceal Lady Mary's shame. Let us go.

EVELYN NAPIER： I imagine you've heard what's happened?

LADY MARY： Yes.

EVELYN NAPIER： Terrible thing. Awful. Ghastly可怕的 for your parents. I don't suppose I shall ever make it up to them.

LADY MARY： It wasn't your fault.

EVELYN NAPIER ：Well, I brought him here. If it isn't my fault, whose is it?

EVELYN NAPIER： I was wondering if you might show me the gardens before I go. We could get some fresh air.

LADY MARY： I won't, if you'll forgive me. I ought to s--stay and help Mama.

EVELYN NAPIER： Of course.

EVELYN NAPIER： I am so sorry about all this. I've told your father I'll deal with the embassy. There won't be any more annoyance for you.

LADY MARY ：Thank you.

EVELYN NAPIER： Actually, he was a terribly nice fellow. I wish I could have known him better.

EVELYN NAPIER： I took him on as a duty, but I liked him more and more the longer I knew him.

EVELYN NAPIER： Perhaps you saw his qualities for yourself.

EVELYN NAPIER： Which obviously you did.

WILLIAM ：I had an uncle who went like that. Finished his cocoa, closed his book and fell back dead on the pillow.

THOMAS： I don't think Mr Pamuk bothered with cocoa much, or books. He had other interests.

WILLIAM： I meant, you can go just like that.

WILLIAM： With no reason.

GWEN ：Well, that's why you should treat every day as if it were your last.

THOMAS： Well, we couldn't criticise Mr Pamuk where that's concerned.

DAISY： What do you mean?

THOMAS： Nothing. Careful with that.

LADY SYBIL： Gwen, are you busy?

GWEN： Your Ladyship?

LADY SYBIL： I saw this.It came out yesterday .Look.It 's for a secretary at a new firm in Thirsk.See.

GWEN： What...I don't understand. How did you know?

LADY SYBIL： That you wanted to leave? Carson told my father.

GWEN： And you don't mind?

LADY SYBIL： Why should I? I think it's terrific that people make their own lives, especially women. Write to them today and name me as your reference. I can give it without ever specifying precisely what your work here has been.

GWEN： Milady...thank you.
