Obviously the statement as is would be incorrect, but the sentiment was correct: It wouldn't be called stealing if you are trying to recover stolen property for its rightful owner. And, as that is exactly what the Downton people were trying to do, as they said, 'it is all strictly aboveboard'.

@@rheailiarome2287 If you are a skilled pickpocket and forger, by definition you had a shady past. You don't get classes in those skills just by being in prison and you don't perfect them by getting a class. You perfect them by plenty of usage. He admitted to Robert that he had a shady past, and that wasn't what happened with his wife's thieving. It was after he left prison . He told Robert he slipped into shameful behaviour. Robert and Mary knew more than they said explicitly. Both clearly knew in the glances they gave that Bates was the forger, and had taken the letter. They each played a game. They pretended they didn't know while knowing, though pretending to believe there was a forger 'friend''. Bates pretended not to know that they knew. It is a standard trick over something illegal, criminal or dodgy. Everyone puts on the innocent act in their conversations while all know the truth, and all know the other side knows they know.

You can in fact steal something that has already been stolen. Robert speaking nonsense.😅 But Bates as always comes through like an angel.

He means morally speaking, you can't steal anything that's already been stolen because it's not theirs. I had that situation with my bicycle that was stolen because it wasn't locked up, I found it a month later not locked up and "stole" it back. However, trespassing is another matter.

I think they couldn't resist having Maggie Smith make an allusion to _Gosford Park_ in which she was indeed "trapped" in the cast of a "WhoDunIt" as Constance, Countess of Trentham. That film was set in 1932 indeed.
