Downton Abbey, Series Two (1916, 1917, 1918, 1919)

Isobel Crawley:
The thing is, I've had a letter from Matthew. Of course, he doesn't tell me what he's actually doing.

Robert Crawley, Lord Grantham:
No, he wouldn't. But I'm glad he's alright. I miss him.

Isobel Crawley:
Well that's the point. You must know he's been down here a few times since the war started.

Cora Crawley, Lady Grantham:
We had heard.

Violet Crawley, the Dowager Countess:
Downton is hardly a metropolis.

Robert Crawley, Lord Grantham:
Is he still determined to go back to Manchester when it's all over?

Isobel Crawley:
He doesn't talk much about life after the war. None of them do. I suppose they don't want to tempt fate. Until now, that is. He writes that he is engaged to be married to a Miss Lavinia Swire.

[Cora, Robert and Violet are silent]

Violet Crawley, the Dowager Countess:
Well I--I suppose we all knew it would happen someday.

...

Cora Crawley, Lady Grantham:
The trouble is, Mary's back from London today as well. She gets in at five o'clock.

Isobel Crawley:
Matthew's driving down in Lavinia's car. They won't meet on the train.

Violet Crawley, the Dowager Countess:
Oh, that's a relief. [Everyone looks confused] I hate Greek drama, you know where everything happens off stage.
