"At war, at peace, Downton still stands and the Crawleys are still in it!"
—Martha when she steps out of the car after arriving at Downton Abbey[src]
Martha: "Oh dear, I'm afraid the war has made old women of us both."
Violet: "Oh, I wouldn't say that - but then, I always keep out of the sun. Well, how do you find Downton on your return?"
Martha: "Much the same really. Probably too much the same, but then I don't want to cast a pall over all the happiness."
— Violet and Martha reuniting at the beginning of Series 3.[src]
