Quotes
-
Lady Edith Crawley : Papa? Is something the matter?
Robert Crawley, Earl of Grantham : No, nothing's the matter, and that's what I want to make clear.
Lady Edith Crawley : I don't understand. What's this about?
Robert Crawley, Earl of Grantham : Marigold.
Lady Edith Crawley : I see. And what do you want to say about Marigold.
Robert Crawley, Earl of Grantham : I think you know what I want to say, what I want you to say.
Lady Edith Crawley : I can't give her up.
Robert Crawley, Earl of Grantham : Of course not. Have you told Tom?
Lady Edith Crawley : No, but he might have guessed.
Robert Crawley, Earl of Grantham : So now everyone knows.
Lady Edith Crawley : Everyone except Mary.
[Robert nods]
Lady Edith Crawley : I want your forgiveness, Papa. Am I allowed to say that still?
Robert Crawley, Earl of Grantham : It's not the way I'd have had things, I won't lie to you about that. But this is what's happened. I believe Michael Gregson was an honourable man.
Lady Edith Crawley : Oh, he was, Papa; he really was. He would have married me as soon as he could. I know that.
Robert Crawley, Earl of Grantham : I think so too. So now we must do the best for his child, for his sake, as well as yours.
Lady Edith Crawley : That's so lovely of you!
Robert Crawley, Earl of Grantham : But I think we should keep it in the family. Even in 1924, there are plenty of people who might be unpleasant.
Lady Edith Crawley : But... do you forgive me, Papa?
Robert Crawley, Earl of Grantham : Oh, my darling. I'm sure I need your forgiveness quite as much as you need mine. Now, go to bed
[He kisses her forehead]
Robert Crawley, Earl of Grantham : and sleep well.
