Robert Crawley, Earl of Gratham : [to Edith as she enters the room] Did you get hold of him?
Lady Edith Crawley : Yes, he's coming down tomorrow on the first leg of his trip to Tangiers. I've asked him here.
Cora Crawley, Countess of Grantham : Good.
Tom Branson : How is he?
Lady Edith Crawley : [sighing] Sad, he loved his cousin. And it was all so quick. The trouble is, they've already buried him, and Bertie's not quite sure what to do.
Isobel Crawley : Well, that's ordinary in hot countries, it won't mean any disrespect.
Lady Edith Crawley : No, but should they leave him there?
Lady Mary Crawley : [smugly] Surely the decision is down to the new marquess, not to Bertie.
Lady Edith Crawley : [hesitantly] Well, that's the thing. He is the new marquess... Bertie.
Robert Crawley, Earl of Gratham : [Mary looks dumbfounded] Bertie Pelham is now the Marquess of Hexham?
Lady Edith Crawley : Yes.
Lady Mary Crawley : Nonsense, he's having you on. He'd have told you if he was the heir.
Lady Edith Crawley : He did tell me, but his cousin was in his thirties, and they all knew the girl he was going to marry.
Lady Mary Crawley : But that's absurd. If Bertie's a marquess, then Edith...
Robert Crawley, Earl of Gratham : [interrupting joyfully] Edith would outrank us all, yes, that's right!
Cora Crawley, Countess of Grantham : [Everyone smiles, thrilled with the news] Was he a close relation?
Lady Edith Crawley : Second cousin, once removed. Nobody thought it was possible he would ever inherit, least of all Bertie.
Isobel Crawley : Well, he seemed like a nice young man to me.
Lady Rosamund Painswick : [beaming] And getting nicer by the minute!
Tom Branson : With a real love of Brancaster.
Robert Crawley, Earl of Gratham : Golly gumdrops! What a turn up!
Cora Crawley, Countess of Grantham : [Sees the door opening, smiling widely] That's dinner, if we're not too distracted to eat!
[All move toward the door except for Mary, who still appears thunderstruck]
Tom Branson : [teasing] So we'll all bow and curtsey to Edith. You'll enjoy that, Mary.
Lady Mary Crawley : [bitterly] Hardly. And if Bertie really is Lord Hexham, which I still don't believe, he won't want to marry her now.
Cora Crawley, Countess of Grantham : [sarcastically] Careful, or people will think you're jealous, dear. We don't want that.

Lady Mary Crawley : [walks into Edith's bedroom to find her packing] Going away?
Lady Edith Crawley : Do you care?
Lady Mary Crawley : Look, I wasn't to kow you hadn't told him. It never occurred to me...
Lady Edith Crawley : Just shut up! I don't know what's happened. Tom has made you feel bad, or Papa. Or maybe it's just the same old Mary who wants her cake and hate me too.
Lady Mary Crawley : I never meant to...
Lady Edith Crawley : Yes, you did! Who do you think you're talking to? Mama? Your maid? I know you! I know you to be a nasty, jealous, scheming bitch!
Lady Mary Crawley : [angrily] Now listen, you pathetic...
Lady Edith Crawley : You're a bitch! And not content with ruining your own life, you're determined to ruin mine!
Lady Mary Crawley : [angrily] I have not ruined my life. And if Bertie's put off by that, then...
Lady Edith Crawley : Don't demean yourself by trying to justify your venom. Just go.
[scoffs when Mary doesn't leave]
Lady Edith Crawley : And you're wrong, you know, as you so often are. Henry's perfect for you. You're just too stupid and stuck up to see it! Still, at least he's got away from you, which is something to give thanks for, I suppose.

Bertie Pelham : Would you send me to bed happy?
Lady Edith Crawley : Sounds like an indecent proposal.
