　　[INT. SERVANTS' CORRIDOR/KITCHENS - DAY]
　　[Thomas enters through the back door. Mrs Patmore's whispering to Daisy.]
　　MRS PATMORE
　　I'm not saying poison them. Just make sure they don't find her food all that agreeable 1.
　　DAISY
　　By poisoning it?
　　MRS PATMORE
　　Will you stop that!
　　DAISY
　　You don't want it to taste nice.
　　MRS PATMORE
　　I want them to be glad when I get back. That's all.
　　[INT. OUTER HALL - DAY]
　　MR CARSON
　　This will be for the family and the one in my pantry is for the staff. Or, more precisely 2, me.
　　MR BROMIDGE
　　We don't normally 3 provide two.
　　MR CARSON
　　Then perhaps we should find another supplier.
　　MR BROMIDGE
　　Hold your horses. Right. Where do you see this other telephone?
　　MR CARSON
　　Here in the outer hall.
　　[Carson sees Strallan enter through the open front door and he opens the inner 4 door for him.]
　　SIR ANTHONY STRALLAN
　　Good afternoon, Carson. Is Lady Edith in?
　　LADY EDITH
　　I am!
　　[Edith enters.]
　　LADY EDITH
　　I most certainly am.
　　SIR ANTHONY STRALLAN
　　I was just driving past...
　　LADY EDITH
　　Yes?
　　SIR ANTHONY STRALLAN
　　And I thought you might like to come for a spin. If you're not too busy.
　　LADY EDITH
　　Wait till I get my coat.
　　[Sybil enters.]
　　MR BROMIDGE
　　Is it all right if I make some notes?
　　LADY SYBIL
　　I'm so sorry, Mr...?
　　MR CARSON
　　This is Mr Bromidge, my lady. He's here about the telephone.
　　LADY SYBIL
　　Oh! Please make your notes, dear Mr Bromidge.
　　[Bromidge nods.]
　　LADY SYBIL
　　We're so looking forward to it. What an exciting business to be in.
　　SIR ANTHONY STRALLAN
　　You must be expanding every day.
　　MR BROMIDGE
　　Ah, we are, sir. But, er, that brings its problems. Training up men for the work when many have no aptitude 5. Ha, I can't even find a secretary who can keep pace at the moment.
　　LADY SYBIL
　　What?
　　MR BROMIDGE
　　It's hard with a new concept 6. Too old, they can't change. Too young, and they've no experience.
　　LADY SYBIL
　　But have you filled the post yet? Because I know just the woman.
　　MR BROMIDGE
　　Well, she must hurry up. We'll, er, close the list tomorrow night.
　　LADY SYBIL
　　You'll have her application, I promise.
　　[Sybil exits.]
　　[EXT. LONDON, MOORFIELDS EYE HOSPITAL - DAY]
　　[A nurse exits the hospital and Anna and Mrs Patmore enter.]
　　--
　　[INT. LONDON, MOORFIELDS EYE HOSPITAL - DAY]
　　ANNA
　　This isn't bad at all, is it?
　　MRS PATMORE
　　I don't know. No one told me there'd be an actual operation.
　　ANNA
　　Well, what did you think? They were just going to make magic passes over your eyes?
　　[A doctor enters.]
　　DOCTOR
　　All right, Mrs...Patmore?
　　ANNA
　　She'll be fine, thank you.
　　DOCTOR
　　And you've been, er, sent to us by the Earl of Grantham?
　　ANNA
　　That's right.
　　DOCTOR
　　Very good. You can leave her now. We'll, er, keep her in for a week. You can collect her next Friday.
　　[Anna nods and the doctor leaves and Anna rubs 7 Mrs Patmore's arm.]
　　ANNA
　　I'll be in to visit every day.
　　MRS PATMORE
　　What about the rest of the time?
　　ANNA
　　Don't worry.
　　[Anna collects her things and opens the door.]
　　ANNA
　　You'll be fine.
　　[Mrs Patmore nods and Anna leaves. Mrs Patmore takes out a handkerchief to try her eyes.]
　　[EXT. LONDON, PARK - DAY]
　　[Anna strolls 8 through the park.]
　　[EXT. MILITARY OFFICES - DAY]
　　[Anna approaches a military building.]
　　NCO
　　Bates, you say?
　　ANNA
　　John Bates. He must have left the army about eight years ago.
　　NCO
　　Wait here, please.
　　[The NCO marches off and solutes to another soldier on his way. Anna sits on a bench to wait.]
