Downton Abbey, Series Three (1920-1921)
Ethel:
[in surprise] Oh.
Mrs. Bryant:
You didn't expect to find me here.
Isobel Crawley:
No.
Violet Crawley, the Dowager Countess:
I thought the only person who could tell us with any accuracy the Bryants' response to Ethel's working nearby were the Bryants themselves.
Mrs. Bryant:
Lady Grantham wrote to me explaining your wish.
Ethel:
Well, it was only that Mrs. Watson had answered the advertisement...
Mrs. Bryant:
I know the circumstances. Just as I know that you would like to see how Charlie's getting on. As it happens, I've been uncomfortable about keeping a mother from her son. And though I wouldn't want to confuse him until he's much older, if then--
Ethel:
You wouldn't have to confuse him! I've got it all worked out! I'm his old nanny who was employed by you when he was born.
Isobel Crawley:
But what about when he talks of you to Mr. Bryant?
Mrs. Bryant:
You will please leave Mr. Bryant to me. Now Ethel, you must write to Mrs. Watson today and get it settled.
Ethel:
And I'll be able to see Charlie.
Isobel Crawley:
It won't be easy.
Ethel:
It'll be easier than not seeing him. Very much easier.
