-My dear, save your tears for something sad. There’s nothing sad here. I have lived a privileged and an interesting life, and now it’s ... It’s time to go.I’m leaving the family and the place that I treasure in talented hands.

-Well, I know papa...

-No ,I don’t mean your father.No, I love him dearly.No, I...I mean you.You are the future of Downtown.

-But I have such doubts, Granny.Are we right to keep it all going, when the world it was built for is fading with every day that passes? Will George and Caroline still be living that life? Are we living it now?

-No, no, our ancestors lived different lives from us, and our descendants will live differently again, but Downtown Abbey will be part of them.

整部电影中最打动我的是Mary拷问坚持的意义。

Downtown Abbey will always be there.
