"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."
