Martha Levinson : [as the two women are walking to their bedrooms] Oh, oh, off to bed are we? Well that's very sensible. A woman your age needs her rest.
Violet Crawley, Dowager Countess of Grantham : You need a rest cure if you were taken in by that booby Aysgarth.
Martha Levinson : Violet, forgive me, and I don't mean to sound offensive, but are you always this stuck up?
Violet Crawley, Dowager Countess of Grantham : Oh, do tell me, do tell me, is the new Lady Aysgarth all set to hold London enthralled with Tales of How the West was won?
Martha Levinson : Actually I turned him down.
Violet Crawley, Dowager Countess of Grantham : Oh. You surprise me.
Martha Levinson : I'm sure. You see I have no wish to be a great lady.
Violet Crawley, Dowager Countess of Grantham : No. A decision that must be reinforced whenever you look in the glass.
