Isobel Crawley : How is Spratt?
Violet Crawley, Dowager Countess of Grantham : Well, I think. Why do you ask?
Isobel Crawley : He wasn't there to open the door. I wondered if he might be ill.
Violet Crawley, Dowager Countess of Grantham : Oh, no, no, he's not ill. He's in Liverpool. His niece got married yesterday and Spratt had to take her down the aisle.
Isobel Crawley : Oh. Seems rather unlikely to think of Spratt with a private life.
Violet Crawley, Dowager Countess of Grantham : Mmm. Unlikely. And extremely inconvenient.
Isobel Crawley : But you can't begrudge him that, surely. Servants are human beings too.
Violet Crawley, Dowager Countess of Grantham : Yes. Preferably only on their days off.

Violet Crawley, Dowager Countess of Grantham : An unlucky friend is tiresome enough; an unlucky acquaintance is intolerable.
Isobel Crawley : You're all heart.
