    "There's nothing simpler than avoiding people you don't like. Avoiding one's friends, that's the real test." Lol!
  • Look at the conversation between Violet and Isabel. It doesn't look like acting at all. It is so natural. Marvellous.
  • 'My dear, a lack of compassion can be as vulgar as an excess of tears' - Violet Crawley. Brilliant
  • @jayrjrjayrjr822
    The way she handled Spratt shows just how sharp and cunning she is

    “Mrs Crawley is never happier than when she has a chance to use her guiding hand” Savage.

    "Darling, Granny, you know how much I value your advice." "Which means you intend to ignore it."
  • @gerardcollins80
    "You have to take control of your feelings, before they take control of you." A seriously underrated peice of advice.
  • @letlotlosibanda
    "You're testing me, Spratt. And I warn you, being tested does not bring out the best in me."
  • "Nothing vulgar, I hope. Nothing beneath the dignity of a butler of this house" I love the way she flips it round. Magic!!
  • @shaniatreyu9303
    "My dear, a lack of compassion can be as vulgar as an excess of tears." Violet really knew how to kick the stand from under Mary- and so eloquently at that.
  • @nazgullord3198
    Violet's and Isobel's friendship was one of the best ones in the series 💗✨
  • @jimhall1170
    A lack of compassion can be as vulgar as an abundance of tears. I must remember that.

    2:44 "The presence of strangers is our only guarantee of good behavior"-Violet Crawley
  • @Cwmbran1984
    “He wants what all men want… Don’t be ridiculous I was referring to companionship, as I hope you were” 😂😂😂😂😂
  • I would absolutely love a prequel highlighting the early life of the dowager Lady Grantham
  • @m.layfette6249
    Dowager: "I think it's a Mad idea." Isobel: "I doubt they were aiming it at you."
  • @jeronecute30
    "My Dear love is a far more dangerous motive than dislike"

    Outwardly, the Dowager Countess was seen as so old-fashioned and conservative, but when there was a crisis (especially regarding her granddaughters!), she was rather progressive and was the person who saved the day, working quietly behind the scenes. Maggie Smith brought such wit to the role. If you ever get the chance to see her in the 1968 comedy "Hot Millions", you'll see how great she is doing comedy.

    “Take control of your emotions, before they take control of you.” So wise!
  • But old Granny was so smart and so quick that she thought up a lie and she thought it up quick.
