00:00We're not far now.
00:24Very well.
00:30Do you know my new employees well?
00:33Very well, in fact.
00:34Are they kind?
00:35I certainly think so.
00:36Do they have any children?
00:38Oh, um, yes, many.
00:44This is Bridgerton House.
00:46You know it?
00:46Everyone in town knows Bridgerton House.
00:48Are we leaving the carriage and continuing by foot?
00:51Oh, it would be a short walk.
00:53I see.
00:54How short exactly?
00:55So short, in fact, that your new job is where I live.
00:59Well, where I reside half the time while I fill in for the mic out.
01:05I cannot work for you.
01:07Strictly speaking, you will work for my mother, whom you will love.
01:11Where are you going?
01:13I thank you most sincerely for the ride and for your officer,
01:15but I will find a position elsewhere.
01:17What will you, though?
01:19I did write to a few friends, but for some reason,
01:21their wives were told not to hire you.
01:23Then I will return to the countryside, where they are less discerning.
01:26And what if you do not find anything there?
01:29Or worse, what if you end up working again for someone like Philip Cavender?
01:31If I had known this was where I would be working,
01:33I would never have left Cavender House.
01:35Well, I do have some business to transact about the estate this week,
01:41but I have no interest in getting in your way.
01:46It is a large house.
01:48We will hardly see one another.
01:53I'm only trying to help, especially as it seems you do not have another option.
02:00I know nothing of what your friends' wives are talking about.
02:03There must be some sort of misunderstanding.
02:05Of course.
02:09I know you.
02:11Sophie.
02:23Well, if it is not my son who has mastered the art of disappearing.
02:29Hello, Mother.
02:31Lady Bridgerton.
02:32Pleasure to make your acquaintance.
02:34Sophie Peck, my lady.
02:36Would you excuse us a moment?
02:39I am Mrs. Wilson, the housekeeper.
02:42Did she not receive my letter?
02:43Yes, but you have returned before you could receive my response,
02:46which is that, unfortunately, there are no positions at present,
02:49and I must tell you, Mrs. Wilson has heard rumours that this girl is not to be trusted.
02:53Mother, I do not pay heed to rumours.
02:55I trust her.
02:57She saved my life.
02:58Are you injured?
02:59On the mend, thanks to Sophie.
03:00What happened?
03:02It is a long story, but I am well.
03:05And Sophie desperately needs a position.
