Poor Mrs Patmore. Do you think you should go down and see her?

Because if anyone heard about...

Perhaps Mr Patrick did love her back, he just couldn't say it.

I'm sure I'll be fine if I could just put my feet up.

Now you are damaged goods.

I've often wondered ifthis place is haunted. It ought to be.

You've been carrying too heavy a burden for too long.

I'm sure I've left a trail of mud up the stairs.

Please don't apologise.

Oh, dear. Is it another scolding?

Not that much, and not fast enough for you.

Wouldn't you, Thomas? I dare say he feels just the same about you.

I'll fetch Mrs Hughes.

It sinks in and spoils the effect.

I didn't see nothing.

Fains I be Mrs Patmore's kitchen maid when the news gets out.

I don't know how I got in without being seen.

- But you never said. - I didn't want you to be disappointed.

but I think we're nearly there.

- Even with that fool girl. - I think you might owe Daisy an apology.

But don't worry. I'm sure it'll turn up.

Then think ofsomething quick.

My mother's trying to set something up.

Heavens, how thrilling. And before that?

You look done in.

- We'll have missed the speeches as it is. - Don't be such a grouch.

That's what my mum says.

But that is precisely what they already know.

And now, the Grantham Cup for the best bloom in the village.

The truth is they're all getting too old for a mother's control.

So no one has a chance to hide the box.

But you think I'm a dull boy anyway. Don't you?

Yes. I have been very fortunate in that regard.

But there's a very pretty little blue one, with a miniature framed in French paste.

I was just being silly.

There's been too much ofthat already.

- One ofthe women. - No, you must go.

It seems we have both been thrown over for a bigger prize.

They're just thrown away and changed every evening.

I got a letter this morning.

But very well done.

I'm sure she'll be back in the shake of a lamb's tail.

No, I mean it's sad that he died.

Oh, no, it's lovely.

I thought you'd given up.

- but it was you, wasn't it? - Why do you say that?

Who mentioned a problem?
