... så skulle det bli med Violet Crawley, Dowager Countess of Grantham, bara för att få fälla så dräpande kommentarer som hon gör.
Violet: And this is your beau, is it? A man who lends money and then uses it to blackmail the recipient?
Mary: He lives in a tough world.
Violent: Will you be joining him there?
Rosamund: Marmaduke wasn't a rough diamond, was he mama?
Violet: No, he was just cut and polished comparatively recently.
Violet: I'm a woman Mary. I can be as contrary as I choose.
Violet: Really. It's like living in a second rate hotel where guests keep arriving and no one seems to leave.
Violet: Finally, I would point out, your living is in Lord Grantham's gift. Your living is on Lord Grantham's land and the very flowers in your church are from Lord Grantham's garden. I hope it's not vulgar in me to suggest that you find some way to overcome your scruples.
Violet: Marriage is a long business. There's no getting out of it for our kind of people. You will live 40, 50 years with one of these women. Just make sure it's the right one.
Violet: Twenty four years ago you married Cora against my wished for her money. Give it away now and what was the point of your peculiar marriage in the first place.
Violet: First electricity, now telephones. Sometimes I feel as if I were living in an H G Wells novel.
Violet: Last night? He looked so well. Of course it would happen to a foreigner. No Englishman would dream of dying in someone else's house.
Först tänkte jag att ta Lady Mary Crawley, eftersom hon gifte sig med Dan Stevens, men så kom jag på att det var ju Matthew Crawley hon gifte sig med. Dan Stevens råkade bara spela honom i serien.
Elinor Dashwood i Sense & Sensibility skulle också kunna vara ett alternativ. Hon gifte sig ju också med Dan Stevens ... förlåt Edward Ferrars.
Citaten från Downton Abbey har jag hittat här.
