Joanne Froggatt: Anna Bates

Quotes 

• Anna Bates : She loves him but she can't control him. That's what frightens her. He's stronger than she is, really. Or as strong. And she's not used to it.

• Lady Mary Crawley : [laughing with Anna about Mrs. Patmore's troubles]  Oh, that's the first proper laugh I've had for ages.

  Anna Bates : I couldn't resist telling you.

  Lady Mary Crawley : [Insincerely]  Poor Mrs. Patmore.

  Anna Bates : [Both continue laughing]  Oh, I know, it's awful for her. I'm going to have to think of something serious when I go down.

  Lady Mary Crawley : Well I had some rather sad news when we were in Thirsk. Lord Hexham's died.

  Anna Bates : Who's that, milady?

  Lady Mary Crawley : The owner of Brancaster Castle, where we all stayed last year, for the grouse.

  Anna Bates : Not me, milady; I was otherwise detained.

  Lady Mary Crawley : Oh, of course you were. I am sorry.

  [Smugly] 

  Lady Mary Crawley : Only, it might affect Lady Edith's friend, Mr. Pelham; he's the agent there, or was. He might be out of a job.

  Anna Bates : [Looking concerned]  How worrying for them.

  Lady Mary Crawley : [Smugly]  So my romance might not be the only one to come to an untimely end.
