"Mother, Lord Downton has proposed to me."

"And I suppose you accepted him."

"Of course I did."

"You are in love with him."

"Yes."

"You know that he doesn't love you."

"Yes."

"You will be hurt. Very much."

"Maybe. But I'd rather be stuck in a marriage to a man I love, who doesn't love be back, than be stuck in a marriage completely without love."

"At least he is nice. He will let you come to America from time to time."

"Yes, he will. He is a very sweet."

"Cora, I don't think this is a good idea."

"Maybe not. But I don't care. I love him. And maybe he will love me too, eventually."
