'Downton Abbey': Lady Violet, the Dowager Countess' notable quotables

Lady Violet: I have a horrible feeling Simmons is about to hand in her notice. She's looking very fidgety lately. And I saw her hurrying to meet the postman.
Lady Cora: Oh, you poor thing. Is there anything worse than losing one's maid?
Lady Violet: Well, why would she want to leave me? I've been as gentle as a lamb ... most of the time.
