- [leaves]
- Matthew Crawley: [to Mary] Clearly, nothing worse could be said of any man.
- Violet Crawley, Dowager Countess of Grantham: Thank you, my dear. That's very kind. How much do I owe you?
- Lady Edith Crawley: A guinea.

- Violet Crawley, Dowager Countess of Grantham: Lady Gregory, Countess Markievicz - why are the Irish rebels so well born?
