00:33Grovenor square 1813 dearest reader the time has come to place our bets for
00:41the upcoming social season consider the household of the Baron Featherington
00:49three misses foisted upon the marriage market like sorrowful sows by their
00:55Tasteless.
00:56Tighter.
00:57Tackless, Mama.
00:59Tighter!
01:00Is she to breathe, Mama?
01:01I was able to squeeze my waist into the size of an orange and a half when I was Prudence's
01:05age.
01:05Your sister shall do the same.
01:09Far better odds might exist in the household of the widowed Viscountess Bridgerton.
01:17A shockingly prolific family, noted for its bounty of perfectly handsome sons and perfectly
01:24beautiful daughters.
01:25Oh, I am already roasting.
01:28I complain the entire day, Eloise.
01:29Surely I cannot be expected to wear these fashions the entire day.
01:32I feel like a princess.
01:34Do I look like one?
01:35You truly wish to know what I think you look like?
01:36On your left!
01:38Oh, Gregory!
01:39Is our dear sister still not ready?
01:40Oh, she's only been readying herself the entire night.
01:42You mean her entire life?
01:43I shall run upstairs and hasten her along.
01:45No, Colin, wait.
01:46I'll do it.
01:47She likes me much better than you, Benedict.
01:49Could you say that?
01:49Everyone says that.
01:52Daphne!
01:56You must make haste!
02:01Should you think she heard me?
02:04How very perfect indeed.
02:12Stop it.
02:16Don't hurry up!
02:17You're going to be working!
02:19Don't hurry up!
02:22We're going to be working!
02:27He was a person.
02:29Yes!
02:40Any sign of him yet?
02:47should your brother wish to be obeyed as lord bridgerton he must act as lord
02:51bridgerton where is he benedict i do not know
03:30so
03:56Anthony, you're here.
03:57Of course I'm here, sister.
03:58I've never missed such an important day for you and our family.
04:00No, you would just be late for it.
04:05Shall we?
04:14Today is a most important day, and for some, a terrifying one.
04:21For today is the day London's marriage-minded misses are presented to Her Majesty the Queen.
04:31May God have mercy on their souls.
04:34Miss Prudence Featherington, Miss Philippa Featherington, and Miss Penelope Featherington.
04:46All presented by their mother, the Right Honourable Lady Featherington.
05:01It is only the Queen's eye that matters today.
05:07A glimmer of displeasure, and a young lady's value plummets to unthinkable depths.
05:21Miss Daphne Featherington, and Miss Daphne Featherington.
05:25Miss Daphne Featherington, presented by her mother, the Right Honourable, the Dowager Viscountess
05:31Miss Bridgerton.
05:32Miss Bridgerton.
05:33Miss Bridgerton.
05:43Miss Bridgerton.
05:46Miss Bridgerton.
05:47Miss Bridgerton.
05:47Miss Bridgerton.
05:50Miss Bridgerton.
05:55Miss Bridgerton.
05:58Miss Bridgerton.
05:59Miss Bridgerton.
06:02Miss Bridgerton.
06:02Miss Bridgerton.
06:03Miss Bridgerton.
06:03Miss Bridgerton.
06:04Miss Bridgerton.
06:06Miss Bridgerton.
06:35Flawless, my dear.
06:59But as we know, the brighter a lady shines, the faster she may burn.
07:06But as we know, the brighter a lady shines, the brighter a lady shines, the brighter a lady shines, the
07:36brighter a lady shines.
07:37The brighter a lady shines, the brighter a lady shines, the brighter a lady shines.
08:13It has been said that of all bitches, dead or alive, a scribbling woman is the most canine.
08:22If that should be true, then this author would like to show you her teeth.
08:29My name is Lady Whistledown.
08:32You do not know me, and rest assured, you never shall.
08:37But be forewarned, dear reader, I certainly know you.
08:46You absolutely sparkle, sister.
08:48Come now, I merely simpered and minced in a pretty dress like everyone else.
08:52Not exactly like everyone else.
08:54Oh, she'll need to go and visit with Penelope.
08:55That presentation was anything but...
08:57What was it the Queen called you again?
08:59Flawless.
09:00Or some such thing.
09:02Trust her was astonished.
09:03Her Majesty offered me out of 200 young ladies present a most gracious remark.
09:07Yes, it was quite a distinction.
09:10And now 200 young ladies have a common adversary.
09:13I wish you luck, sister.
09:14Eloise.
09:15What? It is true.
09:16My success on the marriage mart influences all of your prospects.
09:19We will all need to find love one day.
09:22Indeed.
09:23My love is pure as what my mama and papa want, Ched.
09:26If we are so fortunate.
09:28I merely hope I'm able to continue such a grand tradition.
09:31Your dresses have arrived.
09:33Oh!
09:34Oh!
09:35Come, come, come, come.
09:37This one is quite ravishing.
09:40Mary Edcombe wore a similar shade last season.
09:42And secured three offers the very next day.
09:44Wonderful now.
09:45Mary Edcombe, now the Countess of Fulton,
09:48apparently spent the last year living in a cottage hundreds of miles away from her earl.
09:52She is miserable.
09:54This is all here.
09:55Do not tell me that is yet another scandal sheet.
09:57Eloise.
09:57No, no, no. This one is different.
09:58This one lists subjects by name in full.
10:01Let me see.
10:02Wait.
10:03Wait.
10:06Lady Whistledown.
10:07Lady Whistledown.
10:08Lady Whistledown.
10:08The author.
10:09Do we know a Lady Whistledown?
10:10Surely Lady Whistledown could not be her true name.
10:13What does it say, dearest?
10:15She loathes the fact that we've been named alphabetically oldest to youngest.
10:18Your father and I found it orderly.
10:20Lady Whistledown finds banality.
10:22The papers were distributed across town today without charge.
10:24Or what kind of order.
10:29Well, at least she has one thing, right?
10:31She has named Daphne as the season's incomparable.
10:34She calls you a diamond of the first water.
10:36How lovely.
10:40I should not be surprised if this whistle-down is revealed to be Violet Bridgerton herself.
10:46These pages certainly report on the Viscountess's family with much indulgence indeed.
10:51The pages report nothing but the truth, Lady Featherington.
10:54Daphne has bloomed exquisitely, and the sooner she is taken from the market, the better for the other young ladies.
11:00Even ones prone to hysterics in front of the Queen.
11:06Ladies, hurry with your miniatures before our guests arise.
11:09And Penelope, put down that book at once.
11:10You shall confuse your thoughts.
11:14So, tell me about this cousin joining you for the entire season.
11:18She is a distant cousin of my husband, and with no close female relative to sponsor her debut,
11:24Lord Featherington has directed me to take her in the charity.
11:30You are known to be quite charitable.
11:33Precisely what this new rumourmonger should have published instead of erroneously specifying
11:37that I shall only have three young ladies under my care this year.
11:40She knows nothing.
11:41Unless you shall like to have only three young ladies under your care.
11:45I should gladly sit this season out.
11:48Penelope is quite nervous.
11:49This shall be her very first season.
11:51I am not nervous, Mama.
11:53What she is is two stone heavier than she ought to be.
11:55Those blemishes on her face are quite difficult to conceal.
11:58Or perhaps some arsenic and lead might help.
12:00Should you allow me to delay only a year, just as Lady Bridgerton has done for Eloise,
12:05I may remain dedicated to my studies, perhaps?
12:07The answer is no, Penelope.
12:09You may wish to listen to her, my lady, shepherding four young ladies through these endless rounds of affairs at
12:16the same time.
12:18Can you imagine the competition?
12:20Well, how much competition can this cousin provoke?
12:23She came of age on a farm. She has a mere four-figure dowry.
12:26And as for her appearance, well, let us hope Miss Thompson is more presentable than the legions of unkempt animals
12:33she has spent her entire life tending to back home.
12:38Lord Featherington's cousin has arrived, Madam.
12:41Now, remember to be kind, ladies.
12:45And charitable. The poor are our burden.
12:59Oh, she's beautiful.
13:02Good afternoon, Lady Featherington.
13:30Good afternoon, Lady Featherington.
13:36My condolences. Your grace. For your father.
13:40Very kind of you.
13:41Kind of me? You hated the man.
13:44It is so wonderful to see you, Lady Danbury.
13:46Words I do not hear often enough. Come.
13:50You must excuse the disorderliness. As you know, I'm to host a ball this evening.
13:56Yes.
13:57I have managed to keep the details of your return quiet.
14:00But when those vulgar mamas discover that there is an eligible Duke present at tonight's fete, I shall be able
14:08to keep such a secret no longer.
14:11That is what I was hoping to discuss. I've only returned to London to deal with my late father's affairs.
14:15I'm afraid it leaves me no time to socialize.
14:17And so whilst I appreciate your most gracious invitation, Lady Danbury, I must ask you to accept my regrets.
14:25Your regrets are denied.
14:30Well, I suppose a brief appearance.
14:32Excellent. You may leave that flask you carry at home. Most undignified.
14:49Me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me.
15:02Someone may hear us, my lady.
15:17One day I shall seize that watch and take it apart. Bit by bit.
15:23I belong to my father.
15:26Every time you disappear.
15:30Stay with me today.
15:34I'm afraid I cannot.
15:35Oh.
15:37I must chaperone my sister at the Danbury Ball this evening.
15:41Daphne, yes?
15:42Mm.
15:43What might they be like?
15:45These grand affairs your sister must attend.
15:48You would hate them.
15:50Every eligible lady of breeding dressed in some lavishly trimmed frock.
15:56Bloodthirsty mamas at their sides.
15:59And wary fathers making arrangements for only the most advantageous of matches.
16:04And of course, without my father here, that responsibility falls upon me.
16:08A significant duty, no doubt.
16:09Someone must guard my poor sister from the bucks and pinks.
16:13Ensure her virtue remains free of any kind of defilement.
16:16Daphne is fortunate.
16:17Every woman is not afforded such gallant protection.
16:20Well, every woman is not a lady.
16:22Of course not, my lord.
16:26Sienna.
16:30Hey.
16:32You have me.
16:35Protecting you, too.
16:38I will always protect you.
16:47The season's opening ball at Danbury House is a most highly sought-after invitation indeed.
16:55For every darling debutante from Park Lane to Regent Street will be on display.
17:12Titled, chaste, and innocent.
17:15This is what they...
17:16Tonight we shall discover which young ladies might succeed at securing a match.
17:22Thereby avoiding the dreadful, dismal condition known as the spinster.
17:27Oh, I do love to dance.
17:29Should you like my flower?
17:30We grow them in our very own garden.
17:32I must show you my watercolors sometime, if you desire to see them.
17:35And she's quite proficient on the pianoforte, too.
17:54Is that not the young lady who was caught with her gentleman last year?
17:57In Lady Mottram's conservatory?
18:00Unchaperone.
18:00She's lucky her gentleman agreed to a hasty marriage after she went and ruined herself.
18:05Light skirts.
18:32They're all stary, Mother.
18:34Allow them to come to you, dearie.
18:42Oh, look who's already sitting in his cabinet, Miss Bridgerton.
18:48Lady Bridgerton, Miss Bridgerton, Lord Bridgerton.
18:53I believe you have already been introduced to my daughter, Daphne, Lord Ambrose.
18:57Yes, we met at your brother's levee.
18:59If I recall, my lord, you had just won your first race at Newmarket.
19:02His first and only, I believe.
19:05Well, in that case, let us hope his lordship has found himself a new horse.
19:10I haven't had the pleasure of seeing you at our club lately, Ambrose.
19:13She didn't have anything to do with the unpaid balance you left on our betting books, Winter
19:16Last.
19:23Ambrose is a cheat.
19:25A man of any honor ensures his debts are fully paid.
19:28I did not realize.
19:30Well, how could you have been?
19:31It is the very reason I am here, sister.
19:35Let us take a turn about the world.
19:50He is rather pleasing.
19:52He is rather here to shuffle about hunting fortunes.
19:54Trust Mr. Lewis knows of your sizable dowry.
19:56Leave him be.
19:58I presume you know of him, too.
20:00Now, Mr. Worthington's second son we shall find better.
20:03He is of dubious parentage.
20:06We shall not have you making life with a poet, heaven forbid, nor an eccentric.
20:11My word.
20:14Anthony.
20:15Daph.
20:16If the only upstanding gentlemen present this evening are your brothers, then we're in
20:19a great deal of trouble indeed.
20:20You continue to say we?
20:22Didn't I tell you yet?
20:24About my tour?
20:25I'm to begin in Greece.
20:26Greece?
20:27How adventurous, Colin.
20:28Oh, God.
20:30Too late.
20:31I already noted you.
20:33Let me see.
20:35Miss Bridgerton, you look rather lovely this evening.
20:38Is there a reason I've yet to see you on the dance floor?
20:41All in good time, Lady D'Ambray.
20:45You poor thing.
20:56Who is that?
20:59I'm sure I've never seen her.
21:01Miss Marina Thompson, a distant cousin of my husband's.
21:05He's rather dowdy, is she not?
21:08One of the Bridgerton boys is joining the Swarm.
21:14Well.
21:18Most telling.
21:19I imagine your household will be a hive of quarters in the morning, Lady Featherington.
21:24Where one suitor goes, the rest will surely follow.
21:34Excuse me.
21:48There.
21:50The Duke.
21:50The Duke.
21:51I would recognize him anyway.
21:54No, where are you taking us?
21:55Did you meet the Duke?
21:57That man's not an administrator.
21:58Make haste before he should see Miss Thompson.
22:01Grace.
22:04Let me introduce my daughter.
22:06Miss Prudence Featherington.
22:07Miss Philippa Featherington.
22:09Hi.
22:10Good evening.
22:11I thought you could just eat something.
22:12Oh, my God.
22:13She's attached.
22:22I'm quite parched.
22:24Then I shall fetch you a glass of lemonade.
22:26No.
22:26You've already done so much for me tonight.
22:28I shall return in a mere moment.
22:30No.
22:49Small glasses.
22:52Oh, Burbrook.
22:53Tiny little things, are they not?
22:55The glasses, I suppose.
22:59Then the matter is settled.
23:00I'm not entirely sure the matter in which we discuss, my lord.
23:04You've always amused me, Miss Bridgerton.
23:06Ever since I was a schoolboy and you were.
23:10All but five?
23:17My brother.
23:18He summons me.
23:20I just...
23:23Miss Bridgerton.
23:26A moment, please.
23:29Miss Bridgerton.
23:34Oh!
23:36Pardon me.
23:37Forgive me.
23:42Tell me your name.
23:45Your name, sir.
23:46Am I on the seat to believe you do not already know my name?
23:54If you desire an introduction, madam, I do believe accosting me to be the least civilized of ways.
23:58Accosting you?
23:59Surely they will try anything.
24:01Sir, that is not...
24:03This is not...
24:05What is your name?
24:06Bassett.
24:07Bassett!
24:08Bridgerton!
24:09Come here, old friend!
24:10I heard news of your father.
24:13Just take it, you're no local Bassett.
24:14I shall always...
24:15Hastings!
24:16The Duke of Hastings, now known forevermore.
24:19Oh, the Duke of Hastings, is it?
24:24Right, Hastings, this is my sister.
24:25Your sister?
24:27Daphne, Hastings and I know each other from our days at Oxford.
24:30Days we shall not soon forget.
24:33Yes.
24:34As I am well aware of the company you keep, brother, I am certain your days, with his grace, were
24:38most civilized indeed.
24:44Hastings, we shall need to get together properly.
24:46I expect to see you at our club, then.
24:48Indeed.
24:49Evening, Bridgerton.
24:51Yes, Bridgerton.
25:06Daphne.
25:07I believe Lord Weatherly is looking for you to dance.
25:09Is he?
25:10If only it were not time for us to retire.
25:12Daphne is anything but weary. I shall stay with her.
25:14That would be lovely.
25:15Daphne, there is nary a gentleman here who would not take your hand.
25:18You must think about this.
25:20The most perfect thing for you to do now is not to dance, but to leave them all wanting more.
25:26If anyone knows how this works, it is your eldest brother.
25:31Perhaps he is right.
25:33Let us go.
25:51Miss, you have already awakened.
25:53Have Cook prepare as many biscuits as he can this morning.
25:56And perhaps we might move a few extra chairs into the drawing room, too.
26:01I do wonder which gentleman will be the very first to call.
26:05I have so much to ask of them all.
26:08Well, let us get you dressed.
26:24Anthony.
26:25I did not expect to see you here this morning.
26:27It is terribly early for you, dearest.
26:28You could not sleep for some reason.
26:30All the excitement, I presume.
26:33Am I the first gentleman to arrive?
26:36How wonderful.
26:49Call us, ma'am, the Earl of Stafford and the Marquise of Finlay.
26:53Who would?
26:53Well, you should have my colourful fashions to thank.
26:56Before I miss Marina Thompson.
26:58Well, let us see.
27:03Dearest reader, this author finds herself compelled to share the most curious of news.
27:10And do you have a large family, too, my lord?
27:12It seems our diamond requires a closer inspection.
27:16Is there a problem, Lord Bridgerton?
27:20I should think so. You are in my seat.
27:26As such, an even rarer jewel of only the most remarkable brilliance, fire and lustre has been unearthed.
27:35Her name unknown to most, yet soon known to all, is Miss Marina Thompson.
27:45Should you not be out on your daily walk about the square, dear?
27:48It appears as though it may rain.
27:54This author is left to wonder whether Her Majesty might reconsider the high praise she once afforded Miss Bridgerton.
28:03For we all must know what the Queen despises more than anything.
28:10Being wrong.
28:12And the drawing room at Bridgerton House currently appears to be emptier than the muddled head of her dearest King
28:20George.
28:25Well, I must be off to my club then.
28:28Sisters? Mother?
28:33It follows that Lady Featherington is to receive what she has always desired.
28:39The season's true incomparable living under her own roof.
28:43She must be overjoyed.
28:47Is Miss Thompson so high in her instep that she's unable to don her own slippers?
28:53I should think not.
28:58Has anyone else read what Lady Whistledown has written of late?
29:01Should anyone pay any heed to what Lady Whistledown writes of late? I certainly do not.
29:05Mama, perhaps we might attend the upcoming Salisbury Ball by ourselves.
29:10And the Meriwether Tea, too.
29:11I believe that Anthony has already replied on our behalf, dearest.
29:17Apparently he's managed our social calendar through June.
29:19He'll be there the entire season.
29:21Lady Whistledown has made her opinion of our sister's fortunes quite clear.
29:25Well, enough about Lady Whistledown.
29:30A caller for Miss Bridgerton.
29:32Oh!
29:35The Lord Burbrook.
29:41Lord Burbrook?
29:44Um, come in.
29:46May I help you to some freshly prepared biscuits?
29:51Eloise, allow some room for his lordship, will you?
29:55Eloise, are you not due for a visit with Penelope this morning?
29:58I believe I should like to stay.
29:59I believe you should like to go.
30:01Hmm.
30:19Forgive me for not calling sooner.
30:22I presumed your affections were already engaged.
30:26But now I know.
30:28You and I were destined for each other.
30:39And so, by heaven, your love may burn from the depths of my soul.
30:45Tis thee I shall earn.
30:54Wonderful, wonderful gentlemen.
30:55Thank you for your calls.
30:57Do not forget to bid Prudence, Philippa, or even Penelope farewell as you go.
31:04The most wretched sonnet indeed.
31:06Lord Byron, he's not.
31:08I do not believe so.
31:10Good day, pen.
31:15Lord Burberry.
31:16Lord Burberry is harmless.
31:17There'll be others.
31:20Lady Whistledown has all but declared me ineligible, worthy of the affection of a detestable simpleton and no one else.
31:28Tell me, what others should ever want such damaged goods now?
31:31You speak as if Lady Whistledown were to be held in higher regard than Her Majesty the Queen herself.
31:36You give far too much credit to some anonymous scribbler.
31:39These musings, they're not true.
31:41Only they are true, Rubber.
31:43And they are true because of you.
31:44You managed to scare every worthy suitor away.
31:47Whistledown has merely reported it.
31:49I am looking out for you.
31:50I am protecting you.
31:51It is my duty.
31:52And what is my duty?
31:57You have no idea what it is to be a woman.
32:01What it might feel like to have one's entire life reduced to a single moment.
32:06This is all I have been raised for.
32:09This is all I am.
32:10I have no other value.
32:12If I am unable to find a husband, then I should be worthless.
32:16Daphne, you're a Bridgerton.
32:17It would be easier if I were not.
32:30Ambitious hometown of Mary's re-joice.
32:32For the new Duke of Hastings continues to grace our fair city with his presence.
32:38And, oh, what an impressive presence it is.
32:43Lady Whistledown has written about you again, your grace.
32:47Would you like to read it?
32:49It should be noted that the Duke has been overheard announcing to mamas everywhere that he has no plans of
32:56ever marrying.
32:58This author wonders which brazen matchmaker shall rise to such a challenge, for this competition is well underway.
33:06You know, I do suppose if it were not for an overzealous mother at every corner, this time of year
33:11in the city, it would not be so varied right.
33:13Those mothers simply want the same as you, I rather think.
33:15For every last one of them to choke on their daughter's herobence.
33:18But you declaim a wife, Hastings.
33:20Are you truly not planning on taking your place in society when you have a dukedom?
33:23I have a title. As far as I'm concerned, will end with me.
33:26But Hastings, you can't...
33:27You can stop calling me that.
33:29It was my father's name. Never mind.
33:32And in any case, what of you?
33:35What of me?
33:36You are the firstborn Bridgerton of a firstborn Bridgerton nine times over.
33:40Where is your wife?
33:44There's your plan to fuck her forever.
33:46Your mistress.
33:49You shall need to sire an heir.
33:51I'm in possession of something that you are not.
33:54Brothers.
33:56It has reached my ears that Mr. Colin Bridgerton shall be awarded the year's grand prize when he sweeps Miss
34:04Thompson off her pretty little slippered feet.
34:08You could always send the willow back to a farm, madam.
34:12As if Lord Featherington would ever allow that.
34:22In other news, a most peculiar suitor for Miss Daphne Bridgerton has emerged.
34:29Daphne, I've got your caller.
34:35We'll look at just the two of us, yet again.
34:50We'll look at just the two of us, yet again.
35:09Lady Bridgerton, do join us.
35:19Your Majesty, good evening.
35:21You must remember my daughter, Daphne.
35:23Yes.
35:24She made quite an impression.
35:26However fleeting it may have been.
35:32I would like to welcome you both to my box this evening.
35:36I insist.
35:45We are saying her husband will not live till the end of the month.
35:49Surely another rumor provided by that vicious scandal-mongering writer.
35:53Should her degradation know no bounds?
36:00Lady Whistledown writes about my family, too.
36:03Yet I suppose that you can withstand such scrutiny, since he is, after all, a man.
36:07His grace was fortunate to have you there with him as a child, after what happened to his mother.
36:12Awful.
36:13He's not what Whistledown writes.
36:14So is Daphne.
36:16It seems that two of them have that much in common, then.
36:19Matches have certainly been made with far less.
36:23What are you suggesting?
36:27Lady Whistledown merely writes what she sees.
36:29Perhaps we need to help her to see things a bit more clearly.
36:37The Duke is quite fond of gooseberry pie.
36:40The very dish my cook is renowned for.
36:42The Duke is quite fond of gooseberry pie.
37:12And for all we know, Whistledown may be some interloper living in Bloomsbury, of all places.
37:17What should be so terrible about Bloomsbury?
37:18The people there actually work for a living.
37:21Well, she does seem to be someone with access.
37:22Who knows if Whistledown is even a she?
37:24Fair point.
37:25Because she's simply too good to be anyone but a man.
37:27Well, I think it's rather obvious that the writer is Lady Danbury.
37:30Lady Danbury enjoys sharing her insults with society directly.
37:33She would never bother herself writing them all down.
37:35Could it be Lady Featherington?
37:37No!
37:40You've yet to read what was it on rights of the Featheringtons, little sister.
37:44You must forgive this rather unruly debate, Your Grace.
37:47Nonsense, I find it entertaining.
37:50All of you at one table, with little children.
37:53I realise it may be unfashionable, but we like each other.
37:58Most of the time.
38:00You should join us more often, Your Grace.
38:02Perhaps when we travel to our country seat, you would be most welcome.
38:06Gregory, would you stop tossing peas at me?
38:08Those peas are already there.
38:09You cannot tell me what to do.
38:11I am older.
38:11And I'm taller.
38:12Children.
38:14No, he does have a presence about him.
38:16Calm down.
38:19Break his jukes for one's thing.
38:21I'm to spar with Jackson himself.
38:23You?
38:24Is that envy I detect in your voice?
38:26Judgment, brother.
38:28I shall need to witness this.
38:29You appeared displeased.
38:31Do I?
38:33We find ourselves seated beside each other, Miss Bridgerton.
38:36I'd like to think you're happy about that.
38:38Perhaps, Your Grace, it would be better if you refrained from thinking about me at all.
38:43It is simply surprising.
38:46Yes, however is it possible for a lady to offer anything but a smile,
38:50while seated beside a duke.
38:52Even one of your reputation.
38:54You are aware of my reputation.
38:56I'm aware of your friendship.
38:57I have recently written of you.
38:59Presumptuous.
39:01Clearly, arrogant most definitely, you are a rake.
39:05Through and through.
39:06And tell me I'm wrong.
39:07Who is to refrain from thinking about whom, again?
39:10I assure you, I am anything but interested in you.
39:13Good.
39:13Quite.
39:14And I anything but interested in you.
39:16The eldest sister of my oldest friend,
39:18yet another recent subject of a certain writer,
39:20chaste, neat, desperate.
39:23I shall have you know.
39:25To marry, that is.
39:26Tell me I am wrong.
39:32Not at all.
39:33With Lady Danbury accepting your dear mother's gracious invitation on my behalf,
39:37well, however could I have declined?
39:40You must stay for dessert.
39:42It's gooseberry pie, Your Grace.
39:44Ah.
39:44Lovely.
39:59You were a perfectly reasonable mother until your eldest daughter came of age.
40:02This matchmaking scheme you rather transparently concocted with Lady Danbury.
40:06It will not work.
40:08I can think of worse matches for Daphne than a duke.
40:13I believe the two of you to be friends.
40:14We are good friends.
40:15Which is why I know he has absolutely no intention of marrying.
40:18Well, you must understand, all men make that assertion.
40:20Your father...
40:21Do not bring father into this.
40:26Even if he were in want of a wife,
40:28you would most certainly not have the duke anywhere near Daphne.
40:31I fully subscribe to the belief that reformed rakes make the very best of us.
40:34You will not make her happy.
40:37Daphne deserves better.
40:39And I know you think you are solving the problem, but you are not.
40:42And that is all I shall say about the matter.
40:50The duke will be joining us as our guest at Vauxhall tomorrow evening.
40:53Now, I admit it was not easy to...
40:55You overstepped.
40:56She is my eldest daughter.
40:57And she is my responsibility, as a you.
40:59Responsibility?
40:59Do not make this any more difficult than it already is.
41:01I wish to know something, Antony.
41:03Tonight, when you leave this study that you continue to keep at your family home,
41:08are you to return to your bachelor lodgings across the square?
41:11Or will you pay a visit to a certain soprano that you tend to in an apartment that you pay
41:15for on the other side of town?
41:17Relying on your younger brothers to one day do the job that you cannot?
41:22You like to speak of responsibility, my dear son.
41:27Of duty?
41:28Pray tell, what should you know of it?
41:32I sit with her in that drawing room.
41:34Do you know what I see?
41:36A young woman who is terrified because she knows what kind of life...
41:40What kind of future awaits her should you continue to get in her way?
41:46If your father was still here, Daphne would already have been matched.
41:49The man would have made an arrangement with an old friend.
41:52The man would have done what was now necessary.
41:54So, you must ask yourself, are you merely an older brother?
41:59Or are you the man of this house?
42:02Yes.
42:06Yes.
42:07Yes.
42:08Yes.
42:08Yes.
42:10Yes.
42:27I cannot see you anymore.
42:32I do not understand.
42:34It is not for you to understand.
42:39I must do what is necessary.
42:42You said you would always protect me.
42:47You promised to care for me, my lord.
42:50And now?
42:53What shall I do now?
42:58You shall leave.
43:00Be it shame or slander, seduction or smear,
43:04there is but one thing that humbles even the most highly regarded members of our dear Ton?
43:11A scandal.
43:15Well, dear reader,
43:18it should seem that all of Grosvenor Square
43:20has been left to ponder a rather scandalous question indeed.
43:24What is it?
43:27What will happen,
43:27might one former diamond's recent fall from grace turn out to be the most damning scandal of all?
43:48It should be the most damning scandal of all.
43:50Pen.
43:50But, Colin.
43:53I...
43:53I did not know you would be here.
43:55Sorry to disappoint.
43:57Have you seen Miss Thompson?
43:59She is ill.
44:01My mama had to stay home with her.
44:03Papa had to chaperone.
44:05I'm quite enjoying the fact that he is here.
44:08Mama would never allow me to wear a dress like this.
44:11Not yellow enough, I think.
44:14Mr. Bridgeton.
44:15I believe you owe me a dance this evening.
44:17And I have only one more space remaining on my card.
44:21How convenient.
44:23Penelope, I did not see you there.
44:26I'm afraid I cannot offer you that dance, Miss Calcutt.
44:29I am to escort Miss Featherington to the floor.
44:57The resemblance is remarkable.
45:00You look just like him.
45:01Your father.
45:03Ladies and gentlemen, a most extraordinary event is about to take place.
45:09Right this way.
45:11Come.
45:12Come.
45:14Come.
45:14Come.
45:15Come.
45:22Come.
45:27Come.
45:35Youbur.
45:37Come.
45:43Come.
45:44Madam?
45:45Yes.
45:46Farley.
45:50It is with great privilege I present Vauxhall's newest spectacle of in the world.
45:57Feast your eyes above and allow all that you radio to overwhelm you.
46:09Wonderful night!
46:19Is it not the most bizarre look, brother?
46:25What is it?
46:26Lord Burbrook's Baron is over 200 years old.
46:28His lineage is legitimate.
46:30He's had an excellent education, possesses no debts, never hurt an animal or a woman, and is even a decent
46:36shot.
46:38To speak strictly, there's nothing wrong with him.
46:41What should any of this...
46:42You're to marry him.
46:45Nigel!
46:46I had to find you a husband, sister. Now.
46:48Be grateful it is done.
46:50It should be just as easy for you to fall in love with Lord Burbrook as with anyone else.
46:53I will not hear of this.
46:58I will not hear of this.
47:23And you haven't bled.
47:30I suppose I should be happy.
47:32Up until now, I've had no legitimate excuse to dispense with you.
47:37But when Lord Featherington hears of this, when your own papa hears of this...
47:43Please.
47:43I suppose I should be happy.
47:45And if it were guaranteed that my own ladies would not be affected by your revolting recklessness, I would be.
47:54Do you even know who the father is?
47:55What I know is that you shall never understand.
47:58What was that?
47:59You shall never understand.
48:01Someone like you, living this ridiculously charmed.
48:05Did you think I wanted to come here?
48:08To be around people like you.
48:10So out of touch.
48:12So superior.
48:12Ah!
48:26Whatever are you doing?
48:29Nigel, not now.
48:31Nigel?
48:32Were you to drop the honorific so soon?
48:35I suppose, as your husband...
48:37You will never be my husband.
48:39I will never marry you.
48:41My brother, he...
48:42He made a mistake.
48:44Do you think yourself better than me?
48:48It would be best for you to leave.
48:50You should be thanking me.
48:51I'm your last hope.
48:53No one wants you, Miss Bridget.
48:55What are you doing?
48:55You'll find out soon enough.
48:56Stop it!
48:57Let go of me!
49:05Your Grace, I had no intention...
49:08Of knocking the Klimp flat out.
49:12I must say I'm impressed.
49:14What are you doing out here?
49:16Avoiding certain...
49:17People.
49:18People?
49:19Mothers.
49:20Yeah, people I suppose.
49:22You are coming from the Dark Walk.
49:24It is merely a few steps away.
49:26What would you know of the Dark Walk?
49:27The Dark Walk is merely a few steps away.
49:29And I am alone with two men.
49:32I believe you are only with one man and the others...
49:33I shall be compromised just the same.
49:35Do you have any idea what would happen if someone even suggested that I...
49:39I must go.
49:40Marry me, Miss Bridget.
49:42Now, as far as proposals go, that may be the least romantic of all.
49:46I suppose if someone were to find me here, it would be one way out of marrying him.
49:50Oh, you cannot possibly be thinking of marrying him.
49:52If I'm unable to secure another offer, there may be no alternative.
49:56Unlike you, I cannot simply declare I do not wish to marry.
50:01I do not have such a privilege.
50:02Yes, I was quite surprised to learn you no longer have a line of suitors around every last square in
50:06London.
50:07I'm in no need of your division, sir.
50:09I do not mock you.
50:10I am being sincere.
50:13I know what this Lady Whistledown has written.
50:16Trust I possess as much contempt for the author as you do.
50:19She has already issued a challenge to London's most ambitious memoirs, encouraging, provoking them.
50:24I will claim you as their prize.
50:26Do not worry, Your Grace.
50:28I believe such a win would be promptly forfeited indeed.
50:31I must go this way.
50:33You through those trees.
50:35Perhaps there is an answer...
50:38...to our collective Lady Whistledown issue.
50:56We could pretend to form an attachment.
51:06With you on my arm, the world will believe I have finally found my Duchess.
51:12Every presumptuous mother in town will leave me alone, and every suitor will be looking at you.
51:21You must know men are always interested in a woman when they believe another, particularly a Duke, to be interested
51:26as well.
51:27You presume Lady Whistledown?
51:28I presume she must be precisely what we are.
51:31Me, unavailable.
51:32You, desirable.
51:34No other people.
51:35No other people.
51:36No other people.
51:39No other people.
52:03Here.
52:05Closer.
52:09If this is to work,
52:11you must appear madly in love.
52:13It is an absurd plan.
52:15I find it quite brilliant.
52:16Provided you do not wish to marry me,
52:18and I do not wish to marry you.
52:20Whatever should you have to lose?
52:32I wanna make?
52:33Full of ella...
52:38The fallen wild ...
52:50...food on the ground.
52:55She specially d죵.
52:56There Thiago's Sinne!"
53:02The hacked monkey ridge.
53:02The escaped monkey hit at the site.
53:02The heavenly wanted to carry around!
53:02The Robert James'ry'nhallsê³³
53:02For those not in attendance at the Vauxhall Celebration, you missed the most remarkable coup of the season.
53:10It appears Miss Daphne Bridgerton has captured the interest of the newly returned Duke of Hastings.
53:20How the young Miss secured her newfound suitor is yet to be determined.
53:27Yet, if anyone shall reveal the circumstances of this match, it is I. Yours truly, Lady Whistledown.
54:10I'm Jim Grant.
54:25I am the assistant of the New York Times.
