00:20Dearest reader, it has been said that competition is an opportunity
00:25for us to rise and stand ready before our greatest of challenges.
00:31Well, if what this author hears this morning is true,
00:35then a great challenge concerning this season's diamond
00:38has been set forth indeed.
00:41Any suitor wishing to gain an audience with Miss Edwina Sharma
00:45must first tame the rather prickly spinster of a beast,
00:50otherwise known as her sister.
00:54Lord Lumley at the top.
00:56Is he not something of a dandy?
00:57I would use the term gallant.
00:59Is that what you look for, Edwina?
01:03If Kate believes in him, so do I.
01:05Miss Sharma. Miss Edwina Sharma.
01:08Not the sister. Miss Edwina will suffice.
01:12I see you've left off Lord Bridgerton.
01:15Oh, now he is what Edwina is looking for.
01:17An oversight on your part, my dear?
01:19Lord Bridgerton is quite adept at conveying false first impressions.
01:23What did you hear?
01:24He stated rather clearly that he seeks a wife only to fulfill his duty
01:28and in fact does not believe in love at all.
01:30It is only out of the greatest love of my family that I aim to choose a bride with my
01:33head
01:34and not my... heart.
01:37And you find this unusual?
01:39Most marriages of the ton are in fact mere matters of business, my dear.
01:45Matters that have been working for centuries.
01:47It is the true love match that is quite rare.
01:51Does Miss Edwina return your affection?
01:53Not yet.
01:55She would have done if it were not for the...
01:56The sister.
01:58She's rather thorny, I take it.
01:59Indeed.
02:00You know what it is you are looking for, Bon.
02:03And you must not forget it.
02:04Lord Lumley will turn the Viscount into a distant memory.
02:08I am certain.
02:09Though she need not trouble me.
02:12Every rose does have its thorn after all.
02:14Of course, the only competition that compels my attention is the game of courtship.
02:20So best of luck to this year's players.
02:23Do try not to stumble on the starting line.
02:41Miss Sharma, I might be kept at this threshold all day.
02:44Lumley's already had an inordinate amount of time with her.
02:47That is because my sister is so in raptures with him at the moment.
02:51And you wouldn't want me to interrupt your discourse when it is your turn, would you?
02:55I say we heed the young lady and wait with the grace our hostess affords us.
02:59Thank you, Lord.
03:02Bridgerton.
03:04I am afraid you are much too late, my Lord.
03:06You now find yourself at the back of a very, very considerably long queue.
03:11I wish to escort Miss Edwina to the races this afternoon.
03:14My sister already has an escort this afternoon.
03:16Tomorrow then?
03:17She's engaged tomorrow too.
03:18And the day after?
03:19If I think of it, she may be free.
03:21Ah.
03:21After December.
03:22Unless, of course, she was on her honeymoon by then.
03:27Did I say something funny?
03:29I believe you did.
03:30What is funny, my Lord, is you here now after not only what I overheard the other night.
03:35What you overheard the other night was not for your ears.
03:36But also in addition to everything I have now read of you, your dubious and libertine reputation goes before you.
03:41No intrusion, Bridgerton.
03:44End of the queue.
03:45Yes, that's right.
03:46That's right.
03:47That's right.
03:47Right there.
03:48Yes.
03:49Yes.
03:53Yes.
04:02Yes.
04:05Yes.
04:06No, it never happened with her.
04:06Do not discourage her, Penelope.
04:08If she has taken an interest in Lady Whistledown, she might have to say about the season's available
04:14gentlemen too.
04:16I cannot think of any cleverer way to say this, but no.
04:20No. Her latest is not exactly the philosophical treatise on the rights of the fairer sex I was hoping for,
04:26but...
04:26Come now, I do not think Lady Whistledown has changed her entire style of writing since her last issue.
04:30Perhaps not. But perhaps she still can.
04:33Perhaps she does not want to. Perhaps she is quite content.
04:36And if she's even sparked your renewed interest, then perhaps whatever she is doing is working.
04:40Yes, she could do so much more.
04:42I know I could convince her of it, if I were to, in fact, find her.
04:46What you must find, my dear, is happiness.
04:49Penelope, assist me here. Eloise could indeed find out with someone else, could she not?
04:53I believe she could. And not Lady Whistledown, but someone more like Colin.
04:59My brother?
04:59No, not...
05:00Let the lady's family squabble and embrace me.
05:05Did not expect me to return so soon, dear.
05:08Well, I missed you all. What can I say?
05:16Brother! Brother!
05:19I believe we must get you to the doctor, post-haste.
05:22This strange, fuzzy growth on your chin is no doubt some kind of disease.
05:25And you seem to have taken him to the sun, too.
05:27How peculiar. I think he looks distinguished.
05:30I'm not two inches taller than Gregory.
05:31You are not!
05:34And where, may I ask, is our intrepid Viscount?
05:36He is back from courting already.
05:39Colin, you returned.
05:41Even better.
05:42Family, I should like you all to ready yourselves for the races today.
05:46We will be attending, united as one.
05:55I told him it would never do, ma'am.
05:57But he insisted.
06:00Is that Cousin Jack's?
06:02Cousin?
06:03Is that what he asked you to call him?
06:05Are you bothered by him, ma'am?
06:07Of course not.
06:09The new Lord Featherington has come to shower us with many riches indeed.
06:13If we must endure a few dubious style choices in return, along with some rather questionable matters of breeding, then...
06:21So be it.
06:22I also hear he wishes to convert the morning room into his own personal gaming hell.
06:31That looks splendid.
06:33Blime is up the place, yes?
06:35It is a happy addition, my Lord.
06:37Though perhaps happier in your own bedchamber.
06:39Have you shot them all, Cousin Jack?
06:40Every weapon here has a splendid history and is worthy of interest, Penelope.
06:45I shall have to fill you in on all of my adventures one day.
06:48Now, ladies, run along and get dressed.
06:50We head to the royal races today.
07:00It will be an intimate ceremony, but Mr. Finch said he wished for nothing to distract from his bride, if
07:07you can believe it.
07:08I certainly cannot.
07:10Can you, Penelope?
07:11Have you seen the Bridgertons?
07:17It is a marvel you love literature as much as I do.
07:20Do you enjoy Byron?
07:21I have read some, my Lord, though I believe myself in all this when it comes to poetry.
07:25How fortunate to have found such a well-versed teacher in Lord Lumley, then.
07:29Many find poetry a flat medium, words read silently from a page, but I believe it is meant to be
07:34read aloud like music.
07:36Here, I carry a small pocket copy of my favourites with me wherever I go.
07:40Lady Danbury, I would be so honoured if you could facilitate a proper introduction.
07:45I fear my calling card got lost in the shuffle at your home this morning.
07:48Of course.
07:50Mr. Thomas Dorsett, allow me to introduce Miss Sharma and Miss Edwina Sharma.
07:56A pleasure.
07:56I'm afraid my sister already has an escort for today, Mr. Dorsett.
08:00That is very well, though I was hoping to speak with you.
08:08How are you finding the season, Miss Sharma?
08:10It is a season, Mr. Dorsett. I really should-
08:13Lamping is a far cry from Bombay.
08:16It is where you travelled from, yes?
08:19Yes.
08:20I have visited. It's a wondrous place.
08:24You must miss it dearly.
08:25Oh, every minute of every day.
08:27But most especially at tea time.
08:40We should find our seats.
08:42Allow me to join you.
08:47Bridgertons.
08:48Mr. Mondridge.
08:50It appears retirement suits you well.
08:52If only he were retired.
08:53Are you planning another 4am to the ring, Mr. Mondridge?
08:55Into business, in fact.
08:57I'm opening a gentleman's club.
08:59Set to rival even the select haunts on St. James's.
09:02If we are fortunate.
09:03You do know we have all been members of White's since birth.
09:06Our grand opening is tomorrow night.
09:07You're all of course invited to-
09:09Apologies, if you're excusable.
09:11Tell me, Mr. Mondridge.
09:13I wouldn't mind some stimulation.
09:15Just look at your brother.
09:18The social season frustrated him at first, too.
09:20But now, it seems this Miss Edwina
09:23has quickened his interest and pleasure in courtship.
09:26I only mean to say, Eloise, that we must be willing to look to find a partner that would excite
09:31us.
09:32So dance with a bevy of frogs and one of them might just turn out to be a prince.
09:35If that is what we must do.
09:39Your father, you know.
09:41Eloise, are you listening to me?
09:43What do you have in your hand?
09:44Nothing, Mama.
09:44It's only a pamphlet on new methods for the tidying of dogs, apparently.
09:50Well, a lady is allowed her hobbies, did you not?
09:59Mr. Dorset, you travel widely then and continuously, it seems.
10:03Well, for my studies.
10:04I find medicine particularly fascinating.
10:07The helping of others is a noble interest indeed.
10:10Mr. Dorset is much like you in that regard, sister.
10:14Edwina, have you yet spoken to Lord Lumley of his interests at all?
10:18Lord Bridgerton!
10:19Miss Sharma.
10:20Miss Edwina.
10:22Lumley.
10:23How delightful to see you, my lord.
10:25Lord, Miss Edwina, I was hoping to call on you this morning.
10:27My sister is well aware of everything.
10:29But I promised my family I'd join them for breakfast.
10:31We're exceptionally close.
10:33Break our farts together quite regularly.
10:35Oh.
10:36There they all are now.
10:40One can tell a great deal about a man from his family, I rather think.
10:44Yes.
10:44There are many excellent, affectionate families of the town, are there not?
10:48But none quite as inviting as the Bridgertons.
10:50Gratify your wish, Lumley.
10:53Speaking of refreshments, I could not help but notice the ladies are without.
10:56We are perfectly content.
10:57It is an unseasonably hot day, and any gentleman would make sure...
11:00Miss Edwina, allow me to fetch a lemonade for you.
11:04That would be most agreeable.
11:05Thank you, my lord.
11:09Excuse me.
11:16It's a splendid day for a race.
11:47I'm sorry, I'll be going for a few seconds.
11:48I'm sorry.
11:48I'm sorry.
11:48I'm sorry.
11:48I'm sorry.
11:48I'm sorry.
11:49You're a good writer.
11:51I'm sorry.
11:51I suppose I did, though there was always so much more to say than one could put onto the page.
11:59Pen, how have you been?
12:02Well, I have been well, and you do not answer that. I know who you have been.
12:08Exploring the slopes of Mount Olympus, falconry with the Turks...
12:10It was quite exhilarating.
12:13Also, lonely, perhaps.
12:16Well, I was never on my own, of course.
12:18I see. Pen, you met someone.
12:21How I've missed you too, Elle.
12:25I believe I've made a discovery. Whistledown's new printer.
12:28It's impossible.
12:29To mere mortals, perhaps, but I'm beginning to sense my true power now.
12:31Do you notice anything about the way this pamphlet feels?
12:34Like paper?
12:35Precisely. The paper stock is the same texture as that of Whistledown.
12:38Does not all paper feel the same?
12:39Texture, weight, rain, the way the light seeps through when you hold it to the sky, look.
12:47Yes, I must see.
12:48I did not see.
12:49You were thinking it.
12:50You seem passionate, but, Elle, it is likely coincidence.
12:53That pamphlet is surely just what it appears to be.
12:56Copious instructions for tending to adopt undergrowth, evidently.
13:01Most likely. I suppose you are right.
13:04I must go and pretend to share in the joy of my sister's impending nuptials.
13:08Give the soon-to-be maragades.
13:23Lord Lumley seems to have got lost on his journey back from the lemonade stand.
13:28I am happy to search for you.
13:29It was the Viscount who insisted on refreshments. Perhaps he might go.
13:32With the race set to begin.
13:34Which one is your pick, my lord?
13:36That we have.
13:36Nectar.
13:37Well-bred, highly trained, and well-favored.
13:42Nectar, really?
13:42Yes.
13:44I have a feeling about him.
13:46A feeling?
13:47Pardon me?
13:48You simply chose the horse everyone else has chosen. Quite a feeling.
13:51I made a strategic bet.
13:53Oh, so you have considered your horse's temperament, as well as the conditions of the track, in order to properly
13:57assess its true potential.
13:58It is suddenly feeling rather warm, sister, isn't it?
14:00Nectar is a prize theme.
14:02Perhaps we should find a little more shade.
14:03Nectar ran well at Doncaster, but that was a firmer course. The weather was much cooler, thus his size was
14:08an advantage.
14:09Today, the track is soft and it is hot, meaning he will struggle to make headway, overheat and slow down
14:14during the final leg, giving Highflyer a much swifter, lighter, cooler horse the victory.
14:22You think too much about it?
14:23Indeed you, little.
14:25It seems your guest has caught the attention of the Viscount, Lady Danbury.
14:29It would seem so.
14:30You do understand that as Miss Edwina's sponsor, I should like to remain neutral until she has made her choice.
14:37Of course.
14:37But as your friend, I will tell you there may be an obstacle in your son's path.
14:42The elder sister seems set against the match.
14:45It seems Miss Edwina desires a love match, something the Viscount clearly does not.
14:50I see.
14:54Perhaps her mind can be changed.
14:58Perhaps so can the Viscounts.
15:01No.
15:02She'd come!
15:06My apologies for the delay.
15:08Not to worry.
15:09Lord Bridgerton has been keeping us entertained.
15:11I am quite certain he has.
15:12There's plenty of room, my lord.
15:30And now hotline steady!
15:31Steady! Steady!
15:44Oh no, hotline!
15:46Come on!
15:49Should be separated.
15:50It's all in good spirit.
15:51You think?
15:52Yes. I'm having such fun.
15:56Come on!
15:58Come on!
16:04Come on!
16:05Yes! Yes!
16:07Yes!
16:09Yes!
16:11Oh, Giants!
16:12Stop hollering like a newsboy.
16:13Don't let her cheer.
16:14We've all won today.
16:18I must say, I've never bested a Viscount before.
16:23Beating you feels the same as any other win, but somehow smells sweeter.
16:27Kate, does nectar not remind you of the beloved horse I used to adore?
16:30Do you remember the one?
16:31Oh, take my arm.
16:32I'll take you down to see him.
16:37Excellent idea.
16:39Miss Sharma, I must ask, why do you jab at Lord Bridgerton, sir?
16:43If the Viscount is serious about courting my sister, is it not my duty to try his mettle?
16:48The Viscount does not like to lose.
16:49He's never stomached eating back at Oxford.
16:55Miss Sharma, I...
16:56You and the Viscount know each other from Oxford.
16:58I thought you met today.
16:59I have said too much.
17:00You are going to say much more this very moment.
17:04He thought that you would judge me if you knew we were acquaintances,
17:07but I must assure you that my interest in you today was genuine on my...
17:11Genuine in this sense.
17:12You were sent here to distract me all so Lord Bridgerton could get closer to my sister.
17:18Kate, it is dreadful.
17:19They are saying nectar is to be sent to the knacker's yard.
17:21We are leaving.
17:23I've heard of a sore loser, Miss Sharma, but never a sore winner.
17:26Do not speak to me or my sister ever again.
17:29What has happened?
17:30It seems a second game was a foot today,
17:32and Lord Bridgerton made certain I play the fool.
17:34Let us go.
17:42I meant no harm.
17:43I only wish to spend time with you.
18:11äääääääääääääää
18:12Miss Bridgerton,
18:13Perhaps this is not such a wise decision.
18:15Seemed wise enough when you took half my pin money to escort me here.
18:17I will return it.
18:18This part of town is not safe for a young lady such as yourself.
18:21Take the other half.
18:22Keep a watchful eye.
18:23No turning back now.
18:51Of who?
18:52We know this is where Lady Whistledown prints her paper.
18:54We do?
18:54Why did you think we were here?
18:56I think you might be lost.
18:57I think you're evading my question.
19:00You never ask me a question.
19:04What are those papers?
19:06Nothing for the likes of you.
19:07Perhaps you might get your trivial gossip from somewhere else.
19:10That is not what...
19:12I am not here in search of gossip.
19:14No?
19:15Private information about the season's most eligible bachelor then?
19:20Your assumptions are not the least bit surprising.
19:22After all, a woman is allowed to have but two interests.
19:25Marriage or spewing slander about her peers, apparently.
19:27It would certainly never occur to you that I am in fact hoping to find the writer
19:30so that we may discuss much more intellective matters.
19:33The rights of woman.
19:35The exploration of her mind,
19:36a mind which I can already discern is far, far superior to yours.
19:43Is the shock you seem to be displaying at present due to the fact that I appear well-read
19:47and articulate?
19:49Or do you suffer from some medical ailment about which I should be informed?
20:01This is not...
20:02If women's rights are what you're after, then perhaps that is what you need to be reading.
20:05New thoughts.
20:07Unsettling ideas.
20:08Not too unsettling for you, I hope.
20:12Though, if I should ever see Lady Watsonane,
20:15I'll be sure to let her know that her leading admirer is S.L.O.
20:25I now pronounce you husband and wife.
20:33Oh, how wonderful.
20:37And to think we are all one family now, Lady Featherington.
20:42Yes.
20:43What a delightful thought.
20:45We must tell the new Lord Featherington.
20:48Where is the new Lord Featherington?
20:50He is here somewhere.
20:51To be sure, let me find him.
20:54You insured the dowry was paid.
20:56Of course I insured the dowry was paid.
21:05I would have been in attendance, my lady,
21:07but seeing how you wished to keep the guests less small.
21:10Well, what use are elaborate weddings anyway, my Lord,
21:12when there are so many more important matters to spend one's money on?
21:16If you say so.
21:17Especially with two more young ladies to wed
21:19and two more dowries to pay for.
21:22Oh, my word, this is a perplexing puzzle.
21:24I apparently needed less skill to dig my American minds
21:27than I do to understand my late cousin's bookkeeping.
21:29Well, surely to a man of your wealth,
21:31settling the state's affairs shan't be of much concern.
21:34But it will certainly make a difference to my immediate plans.
21:37Which would be?
21:39It may serve you well to involve me in your plans, my Lord.
21:43Perhaps we may act in concert in some way.
21:46You were new to town, after all.
21:48You could use someone to keep you apprised of certain matters.
21:51Well, in that you are correct, my lady.
21:54Excellent.
21:55Which is indeed why I plan on finding that someone sooner rather than later.
22:01Your new relations are asking for you.
22:05Perhaps all this can wait.
22:07Let's just go and enjoy Philippa's day.
22:11I do relish weddings, don't you, Mrs. Farley?
22:15Oh, certainly, my Lord.
22:22He does have a pleasing smile.
22:24That smile will be the last thing we see
22:27after he installs some beef-witted chit into our drawing room
22:30and ousts me out of my very own home.
22:32Let's see how pleasing you find it then.
22:37To be fair, he did not exactly have many choices.
22:41You've obeyed him to call on me.
22:42You think he was clever?
22:43No, no.
22:44I think you told me Appa always said
22:47it takes a courageous man to go after what he truly wants.
22:50Appa also said the mark of a true gentleman is honesty.
22:53Something the Viscount notably lacks.
23:04Your Majesty, Lady Danbury, Ms. Sharma, and my diamond.
23:12This way.
23:13There is much to see.
23:18They are called zebra.
23:20Striped horses from Africa, in fact.
23:23Seven more arrive next week.
23:26Though I can't think what to name them all.
23:28After 15 children, I seem to have run out of ideas.
23:31It is the most spectacular menagerie, Your Majesty.
23:34Indeed it is.
23:36Miss Edwina.
23:37Yes, Your Majesty.
23:39I do hope you have been enjoying the attention
23:41you have surely been receiving as the season's diamond.
23:44Very much so, ma'am.
23:45It has been an exceptional honor.
23:47It is not an easy mantle to take on, you realize,
23:50to have so many eyes upon you at all times.
23:54Regardless of the truth, people, nay, gossips,
23:59they will contrive shameless falsehoods.
24:02Rumor can oftentimes be a great hardship to endure.
24:05Just ask your mother.
24:07Just ask me.
24:07My sister aspires to learn from your illustrious example,
24:11Your Majesty.
24:12Your marriage, the wondrous love you share with the King.
24:16Edwina desires the very same.
24:17And she shall receive it, should she know who to trust.
24:21Lady Danbury has been a steadfast guide for us this season,
24:24and my sister has me watching her as well.
24:26An inner circle, if there ever was one.
24:30Though you must know,
24:31there will be many people trying to break it apart for their own ends.
24:34When those persons inevitably reveal themselves
24:37and their rather sly intentions,
24:39I simply ask that you tell me who they are,
24:42so that I may decide if they are worthy, of course.
24:45Miss Sharma, perhaps you would like to take your sister
24:48to see the rest of these splendid grounds?
24:51Yes.
24:51The cassewaries are just across the bridge,
24:53but do not veer too close.
24:55They are quite irritable.
25:03Something tells me, ma'am,
25:05that there are quite a few sly intentions at work here.
25:10Was I so obvious?
25:12You seek to unmask Lady Whistledown
25:13with the help of your diamond.
25:15The writer will assuredly seek access to her,
25:17and when she does,
25:18Her Majesty will be waiting.
25:20Is that why you chose Miss Edwina in the first place?
25:23Someone who was not present last season...
25:25It meant she was someone I knew I could trust, yes.
25:29Oh, Lady Danbury,
25:30don't appear scandalised.
25:33You relish this frivolity nearly as much as I do.
25:36This season is different.
25:39You may wish to spoil your own fun, Lady Danbury,
25:43but you shall not ruin mine.
25:46Let me show you where I house my elephant.
25:48Hmm.
25:52She was pompous and arrogant
25:53but I'm quite sure she knows best in every situation.
25:55Oh, she sounds like a terrible nuisance.
25:57Especially since you are the one
25:59who knows best in every situation.
26:01Oh.
26:06I'm the victor of every match today.
26:07Less talking, more fencing.
26:09Brother.
26:12Good luck.
26:14Winnie?
26:20Do you know why I win every time?
26:22Because every time you lose, you claim we cheated.
26:26Because I know my duties,
26:28what my purposes are and how to obtain them.
26:32Which I will do
26:32when I make Miss Edwina my Viscountess.
26:36Peter.
26:41Miss Hildren.
26:43She'll make a perfectly agreeable wife.
26:45What he means to say
26:46is that he has already dismissed
26:48every other young lady in town.
26:51You take too much upon yourself, brother.
26:53Perhaps your life might be easier
26:54if you pursued someone with a less disagreeable sister.
26:57No, but why should I be the one to admit defeat?
27:03Regardless of which young lady
27:04I had chosen to pursue,
27:05there would have always been some
27:06obstinate father or meddlesome aunt in the picture.
27:09I shall certainly not let some sister,
27:11especially one younger than me,
27:13keep me from getting what it is I want.
27:14Whom you want, you mean?
27:17Is this still a friendly match
27:18or do we need to find some armour?
27:20That is what you do not understand, brother.
27:23Benedict honours me
27:25by holding nothing back.
27:28As I now
27:30honour him.
27:40Thank you, gentlemen,
27:42for the bracing exertion.
27:45And now it's time for me
27:46to secure my final victory for the day.
27:50Wish me luck.
27:56They were called Zephyrus, I believe.
27:58So it was a pleasant visit then.
28:01I am quite sorry I was unable to attend.
28:03Oh, I am certain this is not the last time
28:05we will be invited to the palace.
28:06Her Majesty seemed quite taken by Edwina,
28:09was she not, Lady Danbury?
28:11I was thinking
28:12a soiree this evening
28:15so that Miss Edwina
28:16may get to know her many suitors
28:18rather better.
28:20I shall see to everything.
28:23Sounds delightful.
28:24So long as we are judicious
28:25with our guest list, pardon me.
28:29Good boy.
28:31How much clearer must I be?
28:32I bought a gift for Miss Edwina.
28:34Take your Trojan horse elsewhere.
28:36I assure you, Miss Alma,
28:37this is a very real horse.
28:38I do not recommend trying to climb inside.
28:39Truly?
28:40This is all a game to you.
28:41I'm not here to play games.
28:42Then what was Mr. Dorset
28:43if not some deceitful prank?
28:45The business with Mr. Dorset
28:46was not so gross a deceit as you imply.
28:48And now you question my judgment.
28:50Only because you question mine.
28:52I have never met a man
28:54as brazenly presumptuous as...
28:55You do not even know me.
28:57I know you are polished.
28:58I know you are careful.
28:59I know you make promises
29:00without so much as uttering a word.
29:02There is not much more I need to know.
29:05Sir.
29:06Thank you, sir.
29:09This is about what you heard on the terrace again.
29:13You act as if I am some kind of villain.
29:15When every other woman in London
29:16aspires for the kind of marriage I am offering,
29:18you must know that.
29:19You have been exceptionally clear
29:21about what it is you do and do not wish for.
29:23But has it ever occurred to you
29:24this might in fact be about
29:25what your sister wishes for instead?
29:31Lord Bridgerton.
29:33Miss Edwina.
29:35I brought you a small token
29:37to remember our fine time
29:39at the races yesterday.
29:41Oh.
29:42The horse is for me.
29:44Well, I thought you loved animals.
29:46I do.
29:47But usually the kind
29:48that can curl up on my lap.
29:54My apologies.
29:56You said something about
29:58nectar reminding you
30:00of a beloved horse back at...
30:01That horse is a character
30:03from a novel.
30:04A novel of love, in fact.
30:06Something for which my sister
30:07is an enthusiast.
30:11I adore it, my lord.
30:14The horse is a generous gesture indeed.
30:22Come it, Wiener.
30:22We must return inside.
30:48Mr. Bridgerton.
30:49You honour me with your presence.
30:51The honour's all mine, Mr. Bondrish.
30:53The place looks extraordinary.
30:54Though am I a little early?
30:57The crowd will increase with time.
30:59Naturally.
31:00I heard a rumour
31:02that you yourself are an artist.
31:04Oh.
31:04I dabble.
31:08Then,
31:09you must meet
31:10Mr. Cruikshank.
31:12He's a talented illustrator
31:14with many connections
31:15amongst artists and patrons.
31:17I'm always excited
31:17to meet talented people.
31:19This is precisely
31:20what makes my establishment
31:21different, Bridgerton.
31:23I know you and your brothers
31:24are comfortable
31:25at places like White's,
31:27but every honest man,
31:29regardless of his title,
31:31rank,
31:31or occupation
31:33is welcome
31:36to be here.
31:37I must say, Mr. Bondrish,
31:39I'm quite overjoyed
31:40to see what a fine establishment
31:42you've built
31:42by the sweat of your own
31:43honest labour.
31:45Hear, hear.
31:46Hear, hear.
32:15The tidying of the
32:17dogs?
32:17Yes.
32:18Perhaps you have a friend
32:20who finds the subject interesting.
32:22Mother, are you quite well?
32:23No, no, she is not.
32:27I was unaware
32:28there was a boar this evening.
32:29It is.
32:30Soiree.
32:31Rather,
32:32did you not receive
32:32your invitation this afternoon
32:34from the Danbury footman?
32:36The soiree is at the Danbury house.
32:38And Miss Sharma
32:39likes to accuse me
32:40of playing games.
32:41Can you blame her?
32:42What?
32:46She is looking out
32:47for her sister.
32:48She hopes to find her
32:49a love match,
32:50and with you,
32:51apparently so forthright
32:52in your disdain
32:53for such a thing.
32:55Perhaps Miss Edwina's
32:56other suitors plan
32:56on choosing their words
32:57more wisely tonight.
32:59Some are reading poetry,
33:01I hear.
33:02There is a lesson here
33:04for you somewhere,
33:05Anthony.
33:05I only hope that this time
33:06you will finally learn it.
33:07Come on.
33:45At least this is the men who are making fools of themselves this time.
33:50Was this your idea?
33:51I wish I could take credit, but no.
33:53Lady Danbury encouraged a poetry reading.
33:55The men, thanks to their spirit and competition, concocted the rest of this farce on their own.
34:00Of course they did.
34:04Oh, yes!
34:06You were the Viscount's sister, yes?
34:08One of them.
34:09But do not hold it against me.
34:18The fact the Viscount is your relation almost makes me think better of him.
34:22We should certainly not give him too much credit now, should we?
34:30Awesome.
34:32Yes, sir.
34:33Yes.
34:36How about a pause?
34:54Beautiful dress.
34:59I cried like yours as well.
35:01You have a sense of humor.
35:02No, I did not mean... I am being truthful.
35:06It is quite beautiful indeed.
35:08Well, I seem to have grown weary of the colour.
35:11I can understand.
35:13Though, I suppose in truth, it is not a matter of the colour,
35:16but rather how one wears it.
35:18You are at twelve, Miss...
35:20Penelope, Featherington.
35:23Pardon me.
35:33So, what will it be for you tonight?
35:36A song? A jig?
35:39Some hidden hoop-rolling talent you've yet to share with the world?
35:42I'm afraid I'm just a spectator.
35:46So much interest shown in a young lady whom none of us really know.
35:50Hmm, not a devotee of mystery, Pen.
35:52Me? No.
35:54I'm always turning to the final chapter first.
35:58Speaking of mysteries,
36:01you must tell me the name of the young lady
36:03who seemed to have met well out of the country.
36:06And what can you mean?
36:07You mentioned at the races you were never lonely.
36:11I only assumed...
36:12of mind.
36:15Look, there truly is someone who broke really in sight.
36:20You're right.
36:21I was not exactly lonely on my travels.
36:24I did begin a real conversation with someone.
36:27Someone I had known for a very long time.
36:30And yet,
36:31after everything that happened with Miss Thompson,
36:33I realised
36:34they never truly knew this person at all.
36:39Myself.
36:40Yourself.
36:42I have you to thank.
36:43Your letters were so encouraging.
36:47I thought,
36:48if Penelope can see me this way,
36:50then surely I can too.
36:52I was just
36:54so distracted
36:55by Miss Thompson.
36:57So,
36:58I cleared my head,
36:59swore off women and love,
37:01and
37:02well,
37:03I only wanted to fully understand myself
37:05before stepping back into this world.
37:08You've sworn off women then.
37:10Not for the time being.
37:11I am a woman.
37:14You are
37:15Pen.
37:17You do not count.
37:18You're my friend.
37:21Of course.
37:22Your friend.
37:24How good to hear that.
37:40Yes,
37:41I find it quite aloring too.
37:43The new Lord Featherington
37:45is certainly a man of taste,
37:47is he not?
37:47Lady Cowper?
37:48Miss Cowper?
37:51What an exquisite necklace.
37:53Courtesy of the new Lord Featherington,
37:55I hear.
37:56Oh,
37:56did the Lord not tell you?
37:58He called on us just this afternoon.
38:00I must have missed that.
38:02So busy with Philippa's nuptials
38:04and everything else.
38:06It's quite a generous gesture,
38:08is it not?
38:09I do wonder what it means.
38:11It cannot mean much.
38:14The new Lord is so very generous
38:15with his gifts.
38:16It's hard to keep up with them.
38:20This way, my dear.
38:34I saw that Gerard painting.
38:36It was a marvel.
38:37A vision, in fact.
38:38So, you were telling me that he,
38:39along with Leighton and Turner,
38:40all studied in the same academy?
38:42Indeed.
38:42And they have a vacancy from what I hear.
38:45If you are serious about it.
38:48I'm in the midst of a conversation.
38:49Outside, straight away.
38:52Excuse me.
38:58I need you to teach me
38:59how to read that out loud.
39:02Byron.
39:03Did I strike you much harder
39:04than I realized earlier?
39:05There is a pleasure
39:07in the pathless woods.
39:08Oh.
39:09There is a rapture
39:10on the low.
39:11How does one make that sound good?
39:13I'm afraid that is not possible.
39:14That poem is the opposite of good.
39:16That poem's nonsense.
39:18I thought this sort of thing
39:19was supposed to be your pleasure.
39:20Poetry, yes.
39:21Byron, heavens no.
39:23Is not everyone supposed to love Byron?
39:25Many in our year at Cambridge
39:26thought my poetry far superior to his.
39:28Does that mean yours is more or less deceitful?
39:30Deceitful?
39:31Hmm.
39:32Poetry's the opposite, brother.
39:35is the art of revealing
39:36precious truth with words.
39:41Quite right, brother.
39:42You're being serious?
39:43Mm-hmm.
39:45Good God.
39:45Good night.
39:46What is it truly to admire a woman?
39:51To look at her and feel inspiration?
39:55To delight in her beauty,
39:57so much so that
39:58all your defenses crumble,
40:01that you would willingly take on
40:03any pain.
40:05any burden for her.
40:08To honor her being
40:10with your deeds and words.
40:15That is what the true poet describes.
40:19You should apply yourself more often, Benedict.
40:23Write that down.
40:27And on that cheek
40:29and o'er that brow
40:30so soft
40:31so calm
40:32yet eloquent
40:35the smiles that win
40:36the tints that glow
40:38but tell of days
40:40and goodness spent
40:41a mind at peace
40:43with all below
40:44a heart
40:45whose love
40:47is innocent.
40:53gentlemen.
40:54Thank you all
40:55for the most
40:56splendid display
40:57of your talents
40:58this evening.
40:59A memorable
40:59occasion
41:00to be sure.
41:02Pardon me.
41:02Lady Dabry.
41:04Lord Bridgerton.
41:05I did not expect you.
41:07No, I seem to have fallen
41:08off the guest list.
41:09Ah.
41:10Though surely you would
41:10never deny
41:11a young man you've known
41:12for nine and twenty years
41:12the pleasure of your company.
41:13Well, that's...
41:14And neither would your footman
41:15at the front door.
41:16Apologies, Viscount.
41:17You appear to be late again.
41:19We were just bringing
41:20the evening to a conclusion.
41:20Surely Miss Edwina
41:21has time for one more.
41:23I spent all evening
41:24crafting something,
41:25an original.
41:26Would you
41:27like to hear it?
41:29Would everyone
41:30like to hear it?
41:31Hear it.
41:46What is it
41:49truly to admire a woman?
41:52To look at her
41:53and feel inspiration?
41:55To delight
41:56in her beauty
41:57so much
41:58that all your
42:00defenses crumble
42:01that you would
42:02willingly take on
42:03any pain
42:04any burden
42:05for her
42:05to honor
42:09to honor
42:10to honor
42:23my apologies.
42:24I cannot do this.
42:29claim
42:31these words
42:32as my own
42:32as someone
42:33else's entirely.
42:35Truth be told,
42:36I'm not
42:38not a man of poetry.
42:41And words of
42:42flattery
42:43are
42:44beautiful
42:45and sweet
42:45but they are
42:46also hollow
42:48unless accompanied
42:48by action.
42:51Miss Edwina,
42:52I could stand
42:52here
42:53and pretend
42:54to be someone
42:54I am not.
42:55I could pretend
42:55to want the very
42:56same things
42:56as you
42:57but I would
42:57be lying.
42:59I may not
42:59be able
43:00to offer
43:03the display
43:04of passion
43:06that you truly
43:07deserve
43:09but I assure
43:10you that when
43:11it comes to
43:11action and
43:12duty
43:14I shall never
43:15be found lacking
43:17and I hope
43:18that is what
43:20will speak louder
43:20than any pretty
43:21words ever
43:21can.
43:36Did you hear
43:37that one?
43:38He cannot give
43:39you the love
43:39you deserve.
43:40Does that make
43:41him a bad man
43:42or an honest
43:42one?
43:43It is the mark
43:44of a true
43:45gentleman
43:46just as
43:46Abba
43:47used to say.
43:49Yes?
44:03He can do都怪

44:12Whoo
44:14than
44:19when
44:20we
44:38You should return to the party.
44:40I shall be there in a moment.
44:42Well, the Viscount certainly seems to have nettled you.
44:46He can be exasperating.
44:48He is incorrigible.
44:49He is not for my sister.
44:50I shall make sure she sees of it, too, one way or another.
44:54Some advice, Miss Sharma?
44:57When one is frustrated,
44:59it is often much wiser to focus upon satisfying one's own needs,
45:04attempting to influence others as to the correct course of action.
45:08Well, it is often a trying and irritating endeavour
45:11that only brings out the worst in us
45:13before we discover it has been fruitless all along.
45:17I am aware I have made a fool of myself tonight, Lady Danbury.
45:20I do not need to hear it from you.
45:22In fact, I do not need to hear it from anyone.
45:25I do not care what a single person here thinks of me.
45:29Once Edwina is married, I shall return home alone,
45:32only too glad to never set foot in the city again.
45:36You may not yet know, and that is all well and good.
45:39But I, for one, find it not only terribly disheartening,
45:42but also an offence against truth
45:45to hear you say you wish to be alone at a mere six and twenty.
45:51Perhaps you should not.
45:52I will be a governess.
45:53I will be content knowing my sister is taken care of.
45:56Content?
45:57Are you so miserable, my lady?
45:59I beg your pardon?
46:01Are you not alone yourself?
46:03I watch you.
46:04I see you.
46:05You are more than content.
46:06Because I have lived a life.
46:11I am a widow.
46:13I have loved.
46:14I have lost.
46:16I have earned the right to do whatever I please,
46:20whenever I please,
46:21and however I please to do it.
46:23Child,
46:25you are not me.
46:28And if you continue down this road,
46:31you most certainly never will be.
46:35There are two things that lurk
46:38within the dark and shadowy places of our fair city.
46:42Vermin and secrets.
46:45I shall leave it to you, dear reader,
46:47as to which do the most harm.
46:51One has to wonder
46:53what secrets the season's diamond
46:55is holding near and dear to her heart,
46:58and who shall she choose to share them with?
47:01The Viscount Bridgerton, perhaps?
47:04At least the Elder Sharma's opinion on such a matter
47:07is certainly no secret at all.
47:18If you are truly that vexed
47:20by the manner in which Lady Whistledown writes still,
47:22then perhaps you might stop reading.
47:24She's finally revealed herself.
47:25What?
47:26Elle?
47:26I was not going to tell you this,
47:27because, well, I was embarrassed,
47:29and I thought I was wrong,
47:30but I paid this printer's shop a visit yesterday.
47:34You did?
47:36Did you speak with anyone there?
47:39It does not matter.
47:40And look,
47:41not only are these paper stocks identical,
47:44but the letter Ks,
47:45they are slightly misshapen in the exact same way.
47:47Surely it is not likely to be another coincidence.
47:50Well, you must keep an eye at.
47:53If the same mistake is in Whistledown's next issue,
47:55then we will know that the print shop is indeed hers.
48:14A new letter K for a Stanhope press?
48:17Eh, I'll be tenpence.
48:20I'll give you five.
48:21Five's a special rate for repeat customers.
48:24Trust me, friends.
48:25I'd exasperate you coming back any more than once.
48:27Now, give me the discount to keep me away,
48:29and we'll both be happier.
48:38Miss Penelope.
48:40To be fair,
48:42one might call this author
48:44the biggest secret sharer of all.
48:47For who else could possibly keep all of you honest?
48:52Here you are, your majesty.
48:54And you are certain
48:55these are the young ladies
48:57our diamond has been conversing with of late?
48:59Yes, your majesty.
49:00If our theory is correct,
49:02then Lady Whistledown will indeed be in this very collection.
49:07When even the most well-kept of secrets
49:10must eventually come to light.
49:13You are right.
49:14It?
49:18Yeah.
