Quotes2

  • Lady Mary Crawley: [referring to Carson] He gave me some advice last night.
  • Anna: Was it good advice?
  • Lady Mary Crawley: He thinks I should say what I really feel.
  • Anna: Sounds a bit wild for Mr. carson. Do you think he's right?
  • Lady Mary Crawley: Well, they say that honesty's the best policy. I think you regret being honest less often than you regret telling lies.
  • Anna: Ethel said you wanted me.
  • Molesley: [diffidently] No, no. I just need a word with you.
  • Anna: If it's about that book, I'm afraid...
  • Molesley: No, no, it's not about the book.
  • Anna: What is it then?
  • Molesley: I understand that Mr Bates has gone... for good.
  • Anna: Yes, I believe that's true.
  • Molesley: So I was hoping... we might be able to see a little more of each other.
  • Anna: Mr Molesley, I take this as a real compliment...
  • Molesley: But it's not going to happen?
  • Anna: No. You see, if you had a child, and that child was taken from you, if the child was sent to the moon, there'd never be one day when they were out of your thoughts, nor one moment when you weren't praying for their welfare, even if you knew you'd never see them again.
  • Molesley: That's you and Mr Bates?
  • Anna: That's me and Mr Bates. But thank you.
