Anna Bates : I couldn't resist telling you.
Lady Mary Crawley : [Insincerely] Poor Mrs. Patmore.
Anna Bates : [Both continue laughing] Oh, I know, it's awful for her. I'm going to have to think of something serious when I go down.
Lady Mary Crawley : Well I had some rather sad news when we were in Thirsk. Lord Hexham's died.
Anna Bates : Who's that, milady?

Anna Bates : Not me, milady; I was otherwise detained.
Lady Mary Crawley : Oh, of course you were. I am sorry.

Lady Mary Crawley : Only, it might affect Lady Edith's friend, Mr. Pelham; he's the agent there, or was. He might be out of a job.
