[Lady Sybil and Isobel are proposing setting up a convalescent home at Downton Abbey]Violet, Dowager Countess of Grantham: I think it's a *ridiculous* idea.Lady Sybil Crawley: Why?Violet, Dowager Countess of Grantham: Because this is a house, not a hospital.Lady Mary Crawley: Granny, a convalescent home is where people rest and recuperate.Violet, Dowager Countess of Grantham: But if there are relapses. What then? Amputation in the dining room? Rescuscitation in the pantry?Cora, Countess of Grantham: It would certainly be the most tremendous disturbance. If you knew how chaotic things are as it is.Isobel Crawley: But when there's so much good can be done.[Violet stamps her stick on the floor]Violet, Dowager Countess of Grantham: I forbid it! To have strange men prodding and prying around the house. To say nothing of pocketing the spoons. It's out of the question.Cora, Countess of Grantham: I hesitate to remind you, but this is my house now - Robert's and mine. *We* will make the decision.Violet, Dowager Countess of Grantham: [pause] Oh, I see. So now I'm an outsider... who need not be consulted.Cora, Countess of Grantham: Since you put it like that, yes.
