Upstairs Downstairs2010

[Sir Hallam hasn't see his mother, Mary, for many years and Lady Agnes has never met her before. Now she has turned up unannounced and invited herself to come and live with them. ]

Sir Hallam Holland:
There was a clause in father's will that said I must provide her with a home.

Lady Agnes Holland:
Hallam, you can provide her with a home without allowing her to commandeer whole rooms. Why didn't you stand up to her?

Sir Hallam Holland:
I was brought up to be polite to strangers.
