Lord Grantham: I'm surprised you know what a gear stick is.
Lady Violet: I know more than you think.

Lady Violet: What sort of Talbot is he?
Lady Shackleton: A Shrewsbury but nowhere near the earldom. Forty strong men would have to drop dead.
Lady Violet: Nothing is impossible...

Lady Rosamund:  Mrs. Carson! It's like Jane Eyre asking to be called Mrs. Rochester!

Lady Mary:  No, but I shall enjoy the process enormously!
