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.

Cora Crawley, Countess of Grantham : How terrible. Poor Mrs Patmore.
Lady Rosamund Painswick : What an unlikely bawdy house madam.
Isobel Crawley : Mrs Patmore's secret career!
