Downton Abbey Season 6 Episode 1 Best Lines

Lord Grantham: Do you really like riding like that, when a side-saddle is so much more graceful?

Lady Mary: And so much more dangerous!

Mrs. Hughes: When I accepted Mr. Carson...I hadn't fully considered all the...aspects of marriage.

Mrs. Patmore: Oh, my Lord! You mean...

Mrs. Hughes: Yes, that is precisely what I mean.

Mrs. Patmore: Perhaps you can keep the lights off. 

Mrs. Hughes: The trouble is, I don't believe it's a conversation I can have with him.

Mrs. Patmore: Oh you're not suggesting I try? Oh by 'eck! I've had some commissions in my time!

Liverpool maid: Don't you know me Lady Mary? Cos I know you!

Mrs. Patmore: Do you expect to share your...way of life? 

(extreme awkward conversation edited out and now cut to second conversation)

Mr. Carson: Tell her this Mrs. Patmore. That in my eyes she is beautiful. I love her Mrs. Patmore. I am happy and tickled and bursting with pride that she would agree to be my wife. And I want us to live as closely as two people can, for the time that remains to us on earth.

Lady Violet: Is it cold up there on that high moral ground?

Spratt: Her ladyship's humour is always a tonic.

Lady Violet: Sometimes it's good to rule by fear.

Sergant Willis has finally finished the 2 year long investigation!

 Mrs. Patmore is eyeing up the dancing policeman! Romance???

And revolutionary Daisy got to keep her job!

Lady Cora:  (of Daisy's outburst) I'm sure she regrets it.
Mr. Carson: I daresay Guy Fawkes regretted trying to blow up Parliament m'lady but he still had to pay the price.

And so we have champagne in the servant's area and more fab dresses on Lady Mary and Lady Edith. And did Lady Edith say she met Virginia Woolf? Tune in next week when we have more from the lady editor and the lady estate agent. Modern times! And more about the wedding of Carson and Mrs. Hughes.

Cheers!
