Get Away With You
The committee/village is trying to find the best place for the memorial. Robert says center of the village, but they want somewhere quiet: the old cricket pit.
Hughes agrees with Robert - memorial should be in town. Carson: I was disappointed in his Lordship, but I’m more disappointed in you. Hughes: Every relationship has its ups and downs.
Carson to Hughes: I don’t like it when we’re not on the same side. Hughes: We’re different people. We can’t always agree. C: I know, but I don’t like it.
A widow convinces Carson about the memorial site. Her son pays respects to her husband on their day.
Carson tells Hughes he decided on the village for the memorial. He only wanted to be convinced. His walk convinced him.
Carson: There’s a bonus. It puts us back in agreement. I’m not comfortable when you and I are not in agreement.
Hughes: You’re very flattering. You talk like that, you make me want to check the looking glass to make sure my hair is tidy.
Carson: Get away with you.
Hughes: I mean it.

Bates asks Anna why she’s not going with Mary.
Anna says it seems unfair that they treated her like that at the shop. Suppose she was a working woman with 8 kids and isn’t want any more. Wouldn’t I have the right? I feel like going back and ordering a baker’s dozen. Mary: One’s enough for now.
Blake tells Mary she should have told him he wasn’t the lucky winner. Mary: Well, I don’t seem to have broken your heart. I’m sorry if I’ve hurt you. It’s only lately that I’ve begun coming out of the mist. Blake: That’s why I came here. To wish you luck in person.
Brixton is flirting with Cora.
Cora showing Simon painting. Robert sees them.
Blake tells Mary to be sure before she makes a decision. But that she is cleverer than Gillingham, and that won’t work anymore in this century.
Mary says she’s not a housemaid drooling over him. Blake says Plantagenets are as susceptible as housemaids when it co
