Isobel Crawley : We've asked Moseley to look out Matthew's old morning coat, He's confident he can make it fit.
Tom Branson : That's very kind, ladies, but, you see, I don't approve of these costumes. I see them as the uniform of oppression, and I should be uncomfortable wearing them.
Violet Crawley, Dowager Countess of Grantham : Are you quite finished?
Tom Branson : I have.
Violet Crawley, Dowager Countess of Grantham : Good. Please take off your coat.
