Episode Quotes

Lady Sybil Crawley: [Matthew has arrived at the hospital] May I stay to settle him in?
Dr. Clarkson: Very well.
Lady Mary Crawley: I want to help too.
Dr. Clarkson: Lady Mary, I appreciate your good intentions but I'm concerned that Captain Crawley's condition may be very distressing for you. Might I suggest that you hang back until the nurses have tidied him up a little?
Lady Mary Crawley: I'm not much good at hanging back I'm afraid. I won't get in your way I promise. But I will stay. You have volunteers don't you? Well, that's what I am. A volunteer.

Violet, Dowager Countess of Grantham: Would it make any difference if he stayed here, or are you just making him as comfortable as can be?
Hospital Doctor: That's it. There's nothing more we can do for him.
