Robert Crawley, Earl of Grantham: No , nothing 's the matter , and that 's what I want to make clear .
Lady Edith Crawley: I do n't understand . What 's this about ?
Robert Crawley, Earl of Grantham: Marigold .
Lady Edith Crawley: I see . And what do you want to say about Marigold .
Robert Crawley, Earl of Grantham: I think you know what I want to say , what I want you to say .
Lady Edith Crawley: I ca n't give her up .
Robert Crawley, Earl of Grantham: Of course not . Have you told Tom ?
Lady Edith Crawley: No , but he might have guessed .
Robert Crawley, Earl of Grantham: So now everyone knows .
Lady Edith Crawley: Everyone except Mary .
Lady Edith Crawley: I
Lady Edith Crawley: want your forgiveness , Papa . Am I allowed to say that still ?
Robert Crawley, Earl of Grantham: It 's not the way I 'd have had things , I wo n't lie to you about that . But this is what 's happened . I believe Michael Gregson was on honourable man .
Lady Edith Crawley: Oh , he was , Papa ; he really was . He would have married me as soon as he could . I know that .
Robert Crawley, Earl of Grantham: I think so too . So now we must do the best for his child , for his sake , as well as yours .
Lady Edith Crawley: That 's so lovely of you !
Robert Crawley, Earl of Grantham: But I think we should keep it in the family . Even in _ 1924 _ , there are plenty of people who might be unpleasant .
Lady Edith Crawley: But ... do you forgive me , Papa ?
Robert Crawley, Earl of Grantham: Oh , my darling . I 'm sure I need your forgiveness quite as much as you need mine . Now , go to bed and sleep well .
