In Mr Carson's sitting room, Mrs Hughes hesitantly admitted that it was all she could do to stop from laughing herself about Mrs Patmore's own house being called a house of ill repute.

Mrs Hughes assures Carson that she will not tell the family. In Mary's room, she and Anna are laughing at the exact same subject.
