How long were
you planning to wait
before you told us
why you really went up
to London on Wednesday?
Since you ask, I haven't decided.
So, if I tell you now,
will you promise to
keep it to yourself?
I promise.
Very well. I...
I had some medical tests
a few weeks ago
and I went up to London
to hear the results.
Yes?
And, uh, I may not
have long to live.
It won't be too quick.
But, of course,
you can never get a London
doctor to be precise.
- Oh, Granny.
- No. No, no.
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 will be...
- No, no.
No, I don't
mean your father.
No. I love him dearly.
No, I... I mean you.
You are the
future of Downton.
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?
Our ancestors
lived different lives from us.
And our descendants
will live differently again.
But Downton Abbey
will be part of them.
- It won't be the same without you.
- Of course it will.
You'll take over
from where I left off.
You'll be the
frightening old lady
keeping everyone up to the mark.
Thank you very much.
You will, my darling.
And you'll do it wonderfully.
You're the best of me
that will live on.
Hurrah!
Oh, Granny, I love you so much.
But should you be here tonight?
Won't you be worn out?
Oh, Mary, I can't spend
the rest of my life
in a shower of, "How
are you feeling?"
and "Are you quite well?"
No, no.
The point is,
I'll be fine until I'm not.
That's all there is to it.
Ah, there you are.
The dancing's starting.
- You mustn't miss it.
- No. Thank you.
Thank you.
You know, you'll
always be with us, Granny...
staring from every picture,
talking from every book,
as long as the house stands.
Sounds very exhausting.
Do you know, I think
I should prefer
to rest in peace.
