00:00:27You
00:00:45I just think it's important. No, no, no, no, no, no. Let her come out on her own. Is this
00:00:53the plan? Definitely, thank goodness you're here. She's requested time. We do not have time. Stand back.
00:00:58No offense, sister, but I believe you were the last person she would like to see. And what is that
00:01:01supposed to be? Are we sure she's even in there? Of course she is in there. What else would she
00:01:04be? Climb through the window, escape through the chimney. Quiet, chimney who? I do realize I left my husband and
00:01:09child at home for this. I thought everyone this would happen. Now we're to be late for the Queen. Shh.
00:01:12I hear something. Anthony.
00:01:32If one of you utters a single word, this gets over with.
00:01:45I yearn for someone fresh, someone unexpected to turn this season on its head. That is what we need. There
00:01:53is no room for indifference. Apathy is a blight the monarchy simply cannot endure.
00:01:57Of course, Your Majesty. But remember, a young lady cannot be a diamond until you anoint her as such. So
00:02:05if for any reason you do not find one among the candidates today...
00:02:09Do you think she will return? We have heard nary a peep from Lady Whistledown since last season ended. Perhaps
00:02:16the writer came to her senses. Perhaps she realized taking on her queen was a bad idea and she will
00:02:22never publish again.
00:02:23It is a convincing theory, ma'am. Or she simply left for the country as the rest of us did
00:02:30in the off-season. Bored by the lack of any real gossip. Hmm.
00:02:37You do know what that would make her, then?
00:02:42One of us. Hmm.
00:02:46Could we not have appealed to the queen, Mama?
00:02:49After having mourned dear Papa for so very long, perhaps Her Majesty might extend a kindness and allow us to
00:02:54be presented again.
00:02:55I see no need to go through all of that again when I myself am already betrothed to Mr. Finch.
00:02:59Mr. Finch may very well still change his mind.
00:03:02Particularly when he notices there is still no dowry.
00:03:05Hush. The new Lord Featherington shall see to that when he finally decides to show his miserly face.
00:03:14Just remember to remain composed and control your emotions.
00:03:19Her Majesty does not take kindly to any hint of hysterics.
00:03:23I found a small smile worked best to appear open and approachable, but not too eager.
00:03:29Now let her see it.
00:03:32No.
00:03:33She's practically melting.
00:03:34Yeah, allow me.
00:03:36And you're curtsy, dearest. Tell your sister how you manage such balance.
00:03:39Simply locate a stationary object and keep your eyes set.
00:03:43I used a painting nearby. We practiced it.
00:03:46Several times.
00:03:49You have natural gifts.
00:03:51Do not patronize me and give me that!
00:03:55My tasks this season cannot be exceptionally difficult.
00:03:58Hastings did it after all. How hard can it be?
00:04:00Oh, I spoke with such feeling, too.
00:04:02I do not need feeling.
00:04:03What I need is what I have, and that is a list.
00:04:07Tolerable, dutiful, suitable enough hips for childbearing and at least half a breath.
00:04:11And that last part is not so much a requirement, but a preference, in fact.
00:04:14Miss Cordelia Patridge.
00:04:20The lady Abigail Evans.
00:04:23Miss Mary Ann Halliwell.
00:04:26Miss Margaret Goring.
00:04:33It is not too late.
00:04:35You could say I collapsed.
00:04:36That I got something unmentionable on my gown.
00:04:39All the feathers affected my senses.
00:04:41Anything, Mama, to get me out doing this.
00:04:43My darling girl.
00:04:44No matter what.
00:04:45Of that window, do you wish to appear like a befreckled beggar spending all day in the sun?
00:04:52The dowager of Viscountess Bridgerton and Miss Eloise Bridgerton.
00:05:08It is here.
00:05:14It's mine.
00:05:25What is the meaning of this?
00:05:34I've seen enough.
00:05:35But your majesty, there's still...
00:05:36I have seen enough!
00:05:40Does this mean I can go?
00:05:41I don't know what this means.
00:05:43Oh, no.
00:05:44Oh, God.
00:05:45Eloise!
00:06:02Truly, I cannot say I will long for any of this.
00:06:06Best of luck to you, brother.
00:06:08You shall certainly need it this season.
00:06:14Dearest, gentle reader.
00:06:17Did you miss me?
00:06:25¶¶
00:07:27As the members of our esteemed Tarn lazily sojourned in their rustic retreats, this author was doing but one thing.
00:07:36I knew she would return.
00:07:38Honing my skills.
00:07:41Creaser price too, I see.
00:07:42Or should I say, hatching my plans?
00:07:46Is she truly that good a writer?
00:07:50No, even better, I was sharpening my knives.
00:07:57For all of you.
00:08:01How do you think she does it?
00:08:03It's actually not by herself.
00:08:05How could she?
00:08:06No.
00:08:26Eighteen.
00:08:26We agreed on twenty.
00:08:28My mistress changed her mind.
00:08:31You're new to this arrangement, so I'll say this only once.
00:08:35What my mistress wants, she gets.
00:08:38And for whatever reason, that would be you at the moment.
00:08:41That doesn't make you special, Mr Harris.
00:08:43Princes in this town are ten a penny.
00:08:45But there's only one lady whistledown.
00:08:47And she could just as easily take her business elsewhere.
00:08:50So it's eighteen.
00:08:51Not a penny more.
00:08:53And the delivery boys need a wage increase.
00:08:56They're the ones running around town where you get to sit here on your lazy arse.
00:08:59Yes, ma'am.
00:09:00Then my mistress thanks you for your services.
00:09:04Questions abound as to this author's identity and means.
00:09:09Seeking those answers shall prove fruitless indeed.
00:09:16I am off to the market with my maid, Mama.
00:09:18I have just a tiny bit of pin money left, don't I?
00:09:21There is, of course, another unknown identity at present.
00:09:25Though this one you will be able to unearth.
00:09:29I speak of the season's diamond, wherever she may be.
00:09:34Your move, your majesty.
00:09:49One and two.
00:09:51One and two.
00:09:54I do not think she's very good.
00:09:56I believe she can hear you.
00:09:56She can hear you.
00:09:59Ow!
00:10:00Watch my feet!
00:10:01Might we be done?
00:10:02If you are to catch the Queen's eye after this morning's interruption, then you must be perfection.
00:10:06I believe it was the interruption that was perfection.
00:10:08Shocking that Eloise Bridgerton was not named this season diamond.
00:10:11Was it not?
00:10:11Was anyone else aware that dear Colin has apparently decided to add Albania or some such place to his itinerary
00:10:16as he gads about the world?
00:10:17No, but how happy for him that he can simply decide to do that.
00:10:20Joining us for tea, Anthony.
00:10:21Uh, I'm afraid I must pass.
00:10:23Too many calls on my funds today.
00:10:26Now that the season has started, I shall need to fill your coffers at the Modiste and oversee the hiring
00:10:30of a few extra staff.
00:10:31And your ring.
00:10:32When you get the chance, I shall need it.
00:10:34The Fields, by Fairy Hallow.
00:10:35I was thinking we might hold off on leasing them this year due to the hard frost.
00:10:38I beg your pardon?
00:10:39The frost hardens the soil.
00:10:41Saps it of nutrients.
00:10:41That is very well, but you requested my ring.
00:10:44Father's patrol ring.
00:10:45Did someone catch your eye at the presentation, brother?
00:10:48I thought all of the young ladies look beautiful.
00:10:51Not particularly.
00:10:51And all the young ladies look the same, like young ladies.
00:10:53I should simply like to be prepared for when the opportunity presents itself.
00:10:56The opportunity?
00:10:57I've already compiled an index of the season's eligible misses and have arranged interviews.
00:11:01Interviews?
00:11:04Dearest, I shall be more than happy to give you my ring when you find someone with whom you are
00:11:09very much in love.
00:11:10Besides, it is in safekeeping at Aubrey Hall.
00:11:13Very well.
00:11:14See that he is quite well.
00:11:15Me?
00:11:16I'm not in need of coddling.
00:11:18I assure you all, everything is in order.
00:11:35You're looking forward to being a mother?
00:11:36Oh, very much.
00:11:37I'm quite close to my brothers and sisters.
00:11:40I love children.
00:11:41And what number do you have in mind?
00:11:43Children?
00:11:44Four.
00:11:46Or five.
00:11:46No, perhaps.
00:11:47Six.
00:11:48Three children is what I've always wanted, my lord.
00:11:51What if, say, one of your daughters had a pawn shop for overspending?
00:11:53How would you deal with that?
00:11:54No, no, no.
00:11:59We must secure a new ladies' maid for Eloise now that she is out.
00:12:03I'm sure she is even more strong-willed than the last.
00:12:07What are those?
00:12:08Accounts requiring your signature, my lord.
00:12:12The harp is a wonderful instrument, my lord.
00:12:14Teaching one patience, strength, and an appreciation for beauty, of course.
00:12:22Do you read?
00:12:24Books.
00:12:44I'm fluent in French, Italian, Latin.
00:12:47And you're Greek?
00:12:52Apologies, my lord.
00:12:54I much prefer a quadrille.
00:12:57I write, I paint, I sing, I dance.
00:13:01I can divide and multiply.
00:13:03I even construct my own halves.
00:13:28Five and twenty more, my lord.
00:13:47I nur value.
00:13:48I have to rely on訂니.
00:13:48I put my own level in English.
00:13:48I am blue.
00:13:48I haven't.
00:13:49You want to decide to sign?
00:13:49I'll be fine as to sign.
00:13:53What's theICEamat of this human mind?
00:13:58How many days will it go?
00:13:59Whoa there!
00:14:01Miss, are you in trouble?
00:14:04Come on!
00:14:42Careful now!
00:14:44Whoa there!
00:14:53Careful now!
00:14:57Whoa there!
00:15:13You're enjoying your victory lap?
00:15:14Oh, butthole.
00:15:16You will not be afforded such an ample head start this time, I assure you.
00:15:20Apologies, sir.
00:15:21I did not mean to cause anyone concern.
00:15:24Did your maid know you were riding a stride?
00:15:26I have no maid.
00:15:27Ah, then you're married.
00:15:31Forgive me.
00:15:33Then you were lost.
00:15:33I am not lost either.
00:15:35I am on my way back to Mayfair.
00:15:36It is just ahead.
00:15:37Mayfair?
00:15:39Mother!
00:15:40I appreciate your attention, sir, but I assure you I am perfectly safe.
00:15:43Perhaps we pretend this encounter never took place?
00:15:45You allow me to go my way and you go yours.
00:15:48You worry about being seen.
00:15:50I worry about meeting strange men at parks at dawn who fail to leave me alone with all of their
00:15:54questions.
00:15:55Your secret is safe with me, I shall not tell a soul.
00:15:57How grateful I am.
00:15:58Losing races to strange women in such parks at dawn.
00:16:02I can only imagine the questions I will be asked.
00:16:07Is that what that was?
00:16:09A race?
00:16:10Or was it not?
00:16:11Does one not need actual competition for a race?
00:16:13We could say that if we had decided on a finish line together, but alas, we made no such agreement.
00:16:17Ah.
00:16:18I see you are not one for losing.
00:16:20I shall have you...
00:16:24In the rare instances it occurs, I have no difficulty in admitting that I have either lost or am in
00:16:29the wrong.
00:16:29Though I am afraid the same cannot be said for you.
00:16:31I beg your pardon.
00:16:32Mayfair is not right ahead.
00:16:33And it's the other way entirely.
00:16:37Not lost, you said?
00:16:42Good day, sir.
00:16:43Let's go.
00:16:46We've not yet been introduced.
00:16:48I'm afraid that is not possible.
00:16:49Not when I have a victory lap to enjoy.
00:17:02I...
00:17:04Well, what do you mean she was not in her room?
00:17:07I went to find her after awakening, but she was not there.
00:17:13Lady Mary.
00:17:16Lady Danbury.
00:17:18Oh, how delightful it is to see you.
00:17:20And you.
00:17:22After all these years.
00:17:25You look well.
00:17:27Allow me to introduce to you my youngest, Miss Edwina Sharma.
00:17:32A true pleasure, Lady Danbury.
00:17:35I am so grateful for your hospitality.
00:17:37Your home, it is magnificent.
00:17:40Consider it yours for the season.
00:17:43Though I was expecting another.
00:17:46Yes, my eldest.
00:17:48Kate.
00:17:49Kate?
00:17:52Well, she did get off the ship with you last night.
00:17:55Did she not?
00:17:56Apologies.
00:17:57Kate!
00:17:58There you are, dearest.
00:17:59I do hope I did not keep you waiting long.
00:18:01The gardens here are so lovely.
00:18:03After such a lengthy journey, I found out I wanted some freshness and morning air.
00:18:07But, er, I am here now.
00:18:10My eldest, Lady Danbury, Miss Kate Sharma.
00:18:15Well, now that we are all arrived...
00:18:17Almost.
00:18:18I beg your pardon?
00:18:19We have almost all arrived.
00:18:21There is also Newton.
00:18:23Is he still upstairs?
00:18:24Is he still upstairs?
00:18:30Yes.
00:18:30Mama tells us you host the first ball of every season, Lady Danbury.
00:18:34Yes, I have appropriated a conservatory for this year's festivities.
00:18:39Did you hear that, Edwina?
00:18:41Well, that sounds delightful.
00:18:43It will make for a most spectacular entrance to society indeed.
00:18:47I cannot tell you how eager the young ladies are for the upcoming season.
00:18:51As am I.
00:18:52I would have ensured their presentation to Her Majesty the Queen,
00:18:56but I thought it wise for me to examine their deportment prior to their first engagement.
00:19:01Her Majesty is most discerning, you understand.
00:19:05So Her Majesty will be in attendance then?
00:19:08At the ball?
00:19:09Well, there is no reason for concern, Lady Mary.
00:19:11You will be with me after all.
00:19:14Of course.
00:19:16Now, I have made all the arrangements.
00:19:18The pianoforte is tuned, the instructors hired, dance lessons begin at noon,
00:19:23followed by a short but comprehensive visit from a lovely French tutor I have secured.
00:19:28Well, stand up.
00:19:30Both of you.
00:19:31Could you, uh...
00:19:42Exceptional posture.
00:19:44Beautiful smiles.
00:19:46Yes, they are quite.
00:19:47The age of the elder Miss Mary's concern.
00:19:50Any suitable gentleman will require some persuading, whether we like it or not,
00:19:55as she will already be regarded as an old maid at the mature age of...
00:20:00Six and twenty, ma'am.
00:20:02But it should truly be of no concern, as I assure you, I am not here to find a husband
00:20:06for myself,
00:20:07only for my sister, who indeed stands quite tall and smiles rather exquisitely.
00:20:11Even more so when she speaks French, I rather think.
00:20:17I studied French since the age of ten, Lady Danbury.
00:20:21She is accomplished in both Latin and Greek, in addition to Marathi and Hindustani, of course.
00:20:26She not only plays the tar, Murli, but pianoforte, too.
00:20:30And as for her dancing, well, it is quite remarkable if I do say so myself.
00:20:34And I do say so, considering it was I who taught my sister the cotillion, the quadril, the waltz.
00:20:40Self-taught naturally, but still quite remarkable nonetheless.
00:20:44Hmm.
00:20:45Kate feels quite passionately about her sister's prospects this season.
00:20:49Oh, I do hope you did not go to too much trouble finding all of those instructors.
00:20:53Not at all.
00:20:54My mamma did not err in her description of you, a woman of such grace and kindness.
00:20:59I am sure we have much to learn from you, such as the preparation of this most excellent tea.
00:21:08Kate, dear, might Newton require a walk before he makes his mess all over these fine carpets?
00:21:15Indeed.
00:21:16Delighted to make your acquaintance, Lady Danbury.
00:21:19My sister and I do look forward to your sponsorship this season.
00:21:25Daphne provided me a list of recommendations for a successful season.
00:21:30Private advice regarding the top ten ways in which to entrap a man.
00:21:33I'm telling you, Penn, the season has barely begun and already I feel touched in the head.
00:21:39Another quill?
00:21:40You do get through them at an extraordinary rate.
00:21:42I have been busy with my correspondence.
00:21:46To the new heir, is he here yet?
00:21:47No.
00:21:49I only mean, Colin has been keeping me informed of his adventures in Greece.
00:21:53In fairness, I have stopped reading his letters. He rambles, does he not?
00:21:56He's certainly no Lady Whistledown.
00:21:57No.
00:21:59And then again, Colin has in fact been somewhere, unlike her.
00:22:02I thought you revered Whistledown.
00:22:04Did her arrival not save you from your presentation to the Queen?
00:22:07I was delighted by the diversion, to be sure, but...
00:22:10I sat with her paper all morning, and in truth all she does is repeat what she hears.
00:22:14Someone must have brought the gossip, and does she not have a way with words?
00:22:17Yes, but what is she saying with those words?
00:22:19Truly I did not mind Whistledown's silence the last ten months, as it finally gave me some time to read
00:22:23a few articles of substance.
00:22:26My own sex, I hope, will excuse me if I treat them like rational creatures instead of flattering their fascinating
00:22:32graces.
00:22:33Wollstonecraft?
00:22:35Rather haughty.
00:22:36Imagine if Whistledown wrote like this.
00:22:38Instead of simply turning our eye to every newly minted debutante.
00:22:43Perhaps then we might find our respite from the tedious secrets of tea parties and balls.
00:22:47I rather think that the only reason Whistledown writes about such things is because she is not an active participant
00:22:52in them.
00:22:52Yep. Everyone has their theory, I suppose.
00:22:55Hmm.
00:22:58Would you like me to prepare some potatoes for the ladies downstairs, ma'am?
00:23:02Potatoes?
00:23:03Again?
00:23:03Why are we always eating potatoes?
00:23:05Because these days I am the housekeeper, ladies maid, scullery maid, and cook.
00:23:10Have all the staff truly departed, ma'am?
00:23:12Well, I am quite good at boiling the veg.
00:23:14Thank you, Mrs Varley. Potatoes would be lovely.
00:23:17A season with no new dresses, nor servants, are we to empty our own chamber pots too.
00:23:22Ma'am, I cannot do that.
00:23:23Calm yourselves.
00:23:25As I have told you, once the new Lord Featherington arrives, we will be provided for.
00:23:29Well, where is he? Why is he taking so long?
00:23:33Because he wishes to make us suffer.
00:23:38And the new Lord Featherington is off somewhere, delighting in our misfortune, because the man is as cruel as can
00:23:44be.
00:23:44I hear he cast his only son out to the Americas for daring to question his word.
00:23:49I tremble to think where he will send the rest of us if he has a mind.
00:23:52Cornwall, perhaps. Cornwall?
00:23:55Well, I suppose you may visit Mr Finch and me.
00:23:58If there is Mary a penny for new dresses or staff, there is certainly none for her dowry.
00:24:02He shall prevent me from marrying.
00:24:04Of course not.
00:24:05The man may be an old bitter curmudgeon, but he is a gentleman, and he will keep a gentleman's agreement,
00:24:10which is why we must waste no time in finding matches for the lot of you.
00:24:15So, unless you are all betrothed, by the time our cousin arrives to claim the Featherington estate, we shall be
00:24:20at his mercy.
00:24:21And then, heaven help us all.
00:24:26You could always sell the silverware.
00:24:29Dinner service should fetch your handsome price.
00:24:47Are you thinking of wearing that one?
00:24:49It is quite beautiful.
00:24:51No, these are for you, Bon.
00:24:53We have come to London to find your husband, not mine.
00:24:56Yes, yes, you are but a dear old maid.
00:24:58Who shall be perfectly happy doting on my many nieces and nephews one day soon.
00:25:03I shall spoil them exceedingly.
00:25:05You do know that, yes?
00:25:09What is it?
00:25:14I only hope they like me tonight.
00:25:18How could they not?
00:25:23Mama is doing that thing she always does when she is worried.
00:25:26The gossip she endured after marrying up I had to have been unbearable. Do you not think?
00:25:30Is this what troubles you? That was many years ago.
00:25:33Everyone will still have questions.
00:25:35About our family, about how you and I are related.
00:25:39We are sisters.
00:25:41This, besides, you heard Lady Danbury.
00:25:44She will smooth everything over.
00:25:46She is on our side.
00:25:49The dowager is more formidable than I imagined.
00:25:52She will have your head when she learns of your secret morning ride.
00:25:56Are you certain no one saw you?
00:25:58Yes, now, never mind her.
00:26:00The dowager is not half as frightening as she thinks she is.
00:26:04You must be excited.
00:26:06This is the first chapter of a happy story.
00:26:10All you have to do this evening is remember what it is you are looking for.
00:26:14Hmm.
00:26:15Someone charming.
00:26:18And handsome, of course.
00:26:20A prince or a duke, perhaps.
00:26:22It is not a man's appearance or title that will woo you.
00:26:25It is his mind and spirit that will court yours.
00:26:28He will speak in a manner that only your heart can hear.
00:26:34That is what you are looking for.
00:26:36That is the true love you deserve.
00:26:47This one?
00:26:48They will not be ready.
00:26:49He he he he.
00:26:51He he he.
00:26:56He's going to go!
00:26:59Get up!
00:27:12He he he he!
00:27:20Just to remember to breathe on.
00:27:23Ah.
00:27:27The Marquis of Ashtown.
00:27:29A little young to be sure, but he has 10,000 a year.
00:27:33The Earl of Gloucester.
00:27:36His wife recently died of influenza.
00:27:38He might make a particularly estimable addition to your dance card this evening, Miss Sharma.
00:27:42I will not be taken to the floor tonight, Lady Danbury.
00:27:46Is there someone back home you've yet to tell me about?
00:27:48Come now, I am long past all of that.
00:27:50The only match I am interested in is for my sister.
00:27:53She trusts me implicitly.
00:27:55Now, what about the Duke of Suffolk?
00:27:57According to de Bretz, he should be quite the catch this year.
00:28:00The Duke flaunts his mistresses.
00:28:02I assure you, Miss Sharma, I have our prospects well in hand.
00:28:06Ah, there she is.
00:28:12So many flowers, when what I really seek is a gem.
00:28:18Oh.
00:28:20So soon, Lady Danbury.
00:28:24Lady Danbury.
00:28:25A delightful soiree, as expected.
00:28:28Though my own, later this week, will be much more exclusive.
00:28:31Your Majesty, I would not think to compare.
00:28:34And rightly so.
00:28:35Your Majesty, may I present Lady Mary Sharma, whom you must remember.
00:28:41And may I present her daughters, Miss Sharma and Miss Edwina Sharma, my personal special guests for the season.
00:28:50A high honor, indeed.
00:28:51I hear you have made quite a journey to join us again after all these years, Lady Mary.
00:28:56If only you had extended the courtesy of offering your Queen a final farewell before you left.
00:29:05Oh, I do relish a challenge.
00:29:22Stop fussing with your dress.
00:29:24You look lovely, dear.
00:29:26I look like a prized calf trussed up for auction.
00:29:29Even Daphne felt most apprehensive at her first official ball.
00:29:32And look how well her season turned out.
00:29:34Oh, right.
00:29:36Come, sister.
00:29:37The cakes of these occasions are surprisingly good.
00:29:44Truly is a sparse crop.
00:29:46Oh, I'm sure there is someone here who will charm you.
00:29:50After all, this is the season the Viscount intends to find a wife.
00:29:56You honestly just did that?
00:29:57I believe I did.
00:30:02Good evening.
00:30:09Is that Lady Mary Sheffield Sharma?
00:30:12I can't believe she would show her face here again.
00:30:14Oh, scandal, Mama.
00:30:16Lady Mary was the incomparable of our season,
00:30:19till she fell in love with and married some kind of clerk, I hear.
00:30:23The two of them absconded to India thereafter.
00:30:25A Maharaja, I would have understood.
00:30:28But the man was no more than a common worker who already had a child.
00:30:33That must be her.
00:30:34The older one.
00:30:35Lady Mary's parents, the Sheffields, never lived down the shame, did they?
00:30:39Too shame to show their faces in London.
00:30:41If only every family could be as respectable as ours.
00:30:44Yes, Lady Feverington?
00:30:50Dear!
00:30:51My love.
00:31:00Mr. and Mrs. Finch.
00:31:02Lady Feverington.
00:31:04It is a delightful surprise to see you in attendance.
00:31:08After such a long mourning period.
00:31:10Almost as long as our...
00:31:12It has been a difficult time, indeed.
00:31:14Darkness has been our candle in recent months.
00:31:17Have you come unaccompanied?
00:31:19Or has the new heir finally come to manage this unsettled business of your daughter's dowry?
00:31:27Unsettled.
00:31:28That is the precise word, Mr. Finch.
00:31:30Because I too have been...
00:31:32Very unsettled, indeed.
00:31:35Shaken...
00:31:35To the bone, in fact, by...
00:31:38By grief.
00:31:39Missing my dear, dear, very dead husband.
00:31:43I told you it was too soon.
00:31:45You told me you wished for the boy to be out of the house.
00:31:49Our apologies, Lady Feverington.
00:31:51Do let us know when you are more...
00:31:54Settled.
00:31:56Yes?
00:32:10Number eight.
00:32:11I know that gentleman.
00:32:13Who?
00:32:14The Viscount.
00:32:16I do not believe I've yet made an introduction.
00:32:20Of course.
00:32:21It must be my mistake.
00:32:23No, you have quite the eye.
00:32:26Viscount Bridgerton is wealthy, well-connected, and from one of the tonne's most illustrious families.
00:32:32Apparently hoping to marry this season, he may very well be our most eligible bachelor, indeed.
00:32:38He is very handsome.
00:32:40Yes.
00:32:42I suppose he is.
00:32:44Lord Corning, I was hoping to see you this evening.
00:32:49Allow me to introduce Miss Sharma and Miss Edwina Sharma.
00:32:55It is a pleasure.
00:32:57Miss Edwina, would you honor me with a dance?
00:32:59Corning, you said.
00:33:00The Baron Corning.
00:33:06I would be delighted, my lord.
00:33:13I do not recall a reading of Corning's family in my research.
00:33:16It does not matter what you have and have not read.
00:33:20It is unacceptable here for a lady to decline a dance with a gentleman unless she is already reserved by
00:33:26another.
00:33:27I see we have much to learn.
00:33:46And they say Millicent has a whelp in the country, spitting image of his father.
00:33:53There you are.
00:33:55Oh, Pen, I'm so glad to see you.
00:33:56Mama is already being insufferable.
00:33:58At least you did not soothe it to dress you as a sunflower.
00:34:00I declare a bee you might mistake me for the real thing.
00:34:02Miss Bridgerton, may I request your next dance?
00:34:05Or am I to accompany you to fetch some of mynade?
00:34:07You seem parched.
00:34:08How can you tell? Is she wilting?
00:34:09Or punch, if you prefer.
00:34:11Plant pun if you're wondering.
00:34:12Apologies, gentlemen, I regret to inform you that my dance card is already full.
00:34:21Lord Byron.
00:34:22Wellington, Eloise, these names are false.
00:34:24I am merely following my sister's valuable advice.
00:34:26She told me that it is of the utmost importance for a lady's dance card to be filled with all
00:34:30of the...
00:34:30Right names.
00:34:31Eloise!
00:34:32There you are, dear.
00:34:34Come.
00:34:35There is someone I would like you to meet.
00:34:50There is someone I would like you to meet.
00:34:51There is someone I would like you to meet.
00:34:52There is someone I would like you to meet.
00:34:54There is someone I would like you to meet.
00:34:54There is someone I would like you to meet.
00:34:55There is someone I would like you to meet.
00:34:55There is someone I would like you to meet.
00:34:56There is someone I would like you to meet.
00:34:57There is someone I would like you to meet.
00:34:57There is someone I would like you to meet.
00:34:58There is someone I would like you to meet.
00:34:58There is someone I would like you to meet.
00:34:58There is someone I would like you to meet.
00:35:06There is someone I would like you to meet.
00:35:39Bridgerton!
00:35:45I owe you a drink.
00:35:47Whatever for?
00:35:48With you as the prize catch of the season,
00:35:50the rest of us shall receive a respite
00:35:51from the marriage-minded mamas this season indeed.
00:35:54Enjoy your freedom while it lasts.
00:35:56You two will soon submit to this ridiculous rigmarole of courtship,
00:36:00squiring every eligible miss around town
00:36:02until you're barely able to see straight.
00:36:04Is one lady unlike any other?
00:36:06Simply pick the least objectionable and get her wed, bed and bread.
00:36:09Then you can return to more pleasurable pursuits.
00:36:12And more pleasurable partners.
00:36:14You may be cavalier, but if I must leg shackle myself in marriage,
00:36:17the lady in question should have more to recommend her.
00:36:19Do not tell us you were hoping for a love match.
00:36:21Love is the last thing I desire.
00:36:24But if my children are to be of good stock,
00:36:26then their mother must be of impeccable quality.
00:36:28A pleasing face, unacceptable wit,
00:36:31genteel manners enough to credit a Viscountess.
00:36:33It should not be so hard to find.
00:36:35And yet the debutantes of London fall short at every turn.
00:36:38You want the best.
00:36:39Perhaps the queen will finally name a diamond.
00:36:41Save you some trouble.
00:36:43At least for choosing her.
00:36:44Worrying the peace will be a different story indeed.
00:36:46Ah, she'll have no problem there.
00:36:51Smoking room, gentlemen.
00:36:52She'll be there an hour.
00:37:06Is someone there?
00:37:12I can hear you.
00:37:17You.
00:37:19Pardon me, my lord.
00:37:20I never got your name.
00:37:23I was wondering if we'd meet again.
00:37:25So you might discern if my wit is acceptable.
00:37:27My manner is genteel.
00:37:29But you were eavesdropping.
00:37:30It was hardly an effort,
00:37:32seeing as you were proclaiming your many requirements for a wife,
00:37:34loud enough for the entire party to hear.
00:37:36You take issue with my requirements?
00:37:37I take issue with any man who views women merely as chattels and breeding stock.
00:37:41None of that was meant for you.
00:37:42Viscount Bridgerton, yes.
00:37:43When you manage to find this paragon of virtue,
00:37:46whatever makes you think she will accept your suit?
00:37:48Are the young ladies of London truly so easily won
00:37:51by a pleasing smile and absolutely nothing more?
00:37:54So you find my smile pleasing?
00:37:56I find your opinion of yourself entirely too high.
00:37:58Your character is as deficient as your horsemanship.
00:38:01I shall bid you goodnight.
00:38:03.
00:38:03.
00:38:20.
00:38:21Ah, Pen!
00:38:23.
00:38:23..Pen?
00:38:24.
00:38:30?
00:38:31air or the dreary conversation do you suppose this is the one benefit of being out i have for
00:38:37you to run off with we shall never have to be alone why what's exactly
00:38:48have you seen your brother or your sister well they managed to escape you good for them
00:38:55lady down splendid evening well for the most part there are a few guests whose absence i might not
00:39:02have regretted i do hope i am not one of them you and i have common interest this season it
00:39:08seems
00:39:08i heard your words i look forward to meeting them and i look forward to showing these other mamas
00:39:13how the game ought to be played though it appears you have already stoked the fire by informing them
00:39:18of the viscount's intentions for this season my son said he was ready who am i to question
00:39:23they all must come around eventually i suppose lady danbury we wish to leave miss sharma allow
00:39:28me to introduce you to my mama is already in our carriage we will see you at home people are
00:39:34watching my dear you are clearly upset what is clear is we are woefully unprepared to navigate
00:39:40this lion's den i am sure edwina's absence will only make her that much more desirable
00:39:45it truly was a magnificent soiree lady danbury we are most grateful
00:39:54well it would seem both of us may have our hands full this year
00:39:58what if i have something to say about it and as you very well know i always have something to
00:40:04say
00:40:08delightful evening mama night sisters good night young ladies
00:40:16good night
00:40:17good night
00:40:18Oh, my God.
00:41:05Can you go any faster?
00:41:06Yes, sir.
00:41:17Look, I thought you weren't coming.
00:41:19My mistress apologised for the delay.
00:41:21This is for today.
00:41:22It must print before noon.
00:41:26Last edition's taken, Jess.
00:41:29800 copies of five pence apiece,
00:41:31sold for eight pence each,
00:41:32minus the delivery boy's wages.
00:41:33It should be £11 to your shillings here altogether.
00:41:37My mistress is willing to take an even ten.
00:41:39You get to keep the surplus of your rapid service.
00:41:41These kind of delays are sure to be more frequent now,
00:41:43due to an unforeseen circumstance anyway,
00:41:46so it's really a...
00:41:47There is nothing quite like the sweet-scented smell of success.
00:41:54But after taking in the scene from last night's festivities,
00:41:57it is clear the season won't be quite so fragrant for everyone.
00:42:05The Viscount Bridgerton's own mama may have loudly declared
00:42:10her eldest son's lofty intentions to marry,
00:42:13yet I cannot be the only one wondering
00:42:16if this former capital R, Rake,
00:42:19is indeed ready to flourish.
00:42:25Perhaps the Viscount, like the rest of us,
00:42:28is simply waiting for the Queen to finally name her diamond.
00:42:33Or perhaps this author should take matters into her own hands.
00:42:38I shall not be hustled into making my selection, not by anyone.
00:42:42Of course, Your Majesty.
00:42:43Take this away.
00:42:44And bring me a list of the peerage.
00:42:55Some more tea, Milo?
00:42:57Perhaps some more milk may be better.
00:43:00Oh, are those marbles?
00:43:02What fun.
00:43:05Might I go and read now?
00:43:07Though of the many purportedly well-trained
00:43:10and bred hothouse flowers on display this year,
00:43:15this author must wonder if a more surprising choice
00:43:19might still be in store.
00:43:23The younger one would do if the eldest just got out of the way.
00:43:26The sister is dreadful.
00:43:34What's on my chair?
00:43:42Whichever darling miss receives such high esteem,
00:43:46let us hope there is a suitor available
00:43:49of only the sharpest wit,
00:43:51lest his dry musings leave a young lady
00:43:54wilting like a parched rose.
00:43:58It is rather clever the way she uses plant puns to belittle.
00:44:02Clever indeed.
00:44:05The candlesticks, see what they were.
00:44:08Yes, ma'am.
00:44:18Lady Goring was quite taken with Eloise's dress last night,
00:44:21Madame Delacroix.
00:44:22She would keep saying how well it complemented her complexions.
00:44:26She said you reminded her of Daphne, dearest.
00:44:29I am not Daphne.
00:44:32This is the one.
00:44:33Ah, with pleasure, Lady Brutelton.
00:44:40You do know, Eloise,
00:44:42that you might enjoy the next ball
00:44:43if you in fact danced with someone.
00:44:45Meeting new people, it can be thrilling.
00:44:48Yes, it certainly seemed as if Auntie and you had a thrilling time.
00:44:51Swept away by many a nimble-footed young lady,
00:44:53were you brother?
00:44:54I can still barely feel my toes.
00:44:56I thought you ladies were taught to dance.
00:44:58And I thought you gentlemen capable of worthwhile conversation.
00:45:01How sad both of our hopes were dashed.
00:45:05I think Eloise would make a brilliant diamond.
00:45:08I could not agree more, Hyacinth.
00:45:10Perhaps Her Majesty will take note at her ball tomorrow night.
00:45:14I despise you.
00:45:19Madame Delacroix, I didn't know you were back in town.
00:45:22Bien sûr.
00:45:24Who else could dress these delicate debutantes for the season?
00:45:28Does that mean I shall see you later on tonight?
00:45:31I hear there's a party.
00:45:35I have much work to do, Mr. Bridgerton.
00:45:39And my art must come before all else.
00:45:43Enjoy your time.
00:45:49Brother.
00:45:56Are you and the Modiste still, uh, making a stitch?
00:46:00Well, apparently not.
00:46:00Have you found a wife yet?
00:46:02Were you planning to offend every young girl until there are none left?
00:46:04Is Mother aware?
00:46:06Aware of what?
00:46:06I'm off to deal with our solicitor.
00:46:09Have fun with your pretty pictures, brother.
00:46:15Anthony?
00:46:18There were some lovely young ladies in attendance last night, whether or not.
00:46:23Lady Delilah has beautiful manners,
00:46:26and I hear Miss Goodrum is very accomplished in her needlework.
00:46:29Perhaps you shall get to know them better soon.
00:46:31Lady Delilah can barely string a sentence together for nerves,
00:46:33and Miss Goodrum thought that Napoleon fights for the Spanish.
00:46:37And as for every other eager chit you pushed in my direction,
00:46:40I would happily never lay eyes on them again.
00:46:41Anthony...
00:46:42I'm looking for perfection, Mother, and you should be too.
00:46:44The woman I marry shall be the Viscountess Bridgerton,
00:46:47the lady of this household responsible for launching my sisters and bearing my children.
00:46:52Do you truly desire them to be raised by a woman who doesn't know how to so much as hold
00:46:55a map right side up?
00:46:58This is the duty I must fulfill.
00:47:03You will end up alone with such expectations.
00:47:12Good day, Mother.
00:47:15Good day, Mother.
00:47:29Food you...
00:47:30Food you...
00:47:35Food you...
00:47:37Why is it so quiet in here because I am alone
00:47:42Reading as I always do
00:47:44You're so boring I
00:47:48Will be perfectly putrefied if Philippa does manage to marry Finch
00:47:53petrified word is petrified
00:47:58What is that what is what?
00:48:01What you were writing. I'm not writing but you were prudence do not hand it back
00:48:07Little devil doll. This is what occupies your quiet time. What are you ladies doing still up?
00:48:15Penelope was writing
00:48:17To Colin Bridgerton
00:48:19Well, that would explain the ink all over her fingers. I declare Penelope
00:48:24Colin is my friend as if he would ever waste his ink on someone like you. He's worth anything. What?
00:48:31Your books books can be worth something coming off. Do you not think so mama?
00:48:35Oh pity
00:48:39You must stop wasting your precious time on such pointless pursuits as writing silly letters
00:48:45Colin Bridgerton is no more your friend than I am the next Catherine the Great
00:48:50Now wipe your hands. Yes, someone should think you're a commoner
00:49:13Mom, I'll let a few
00:49:17Mom, I'll let a few
00:49:40I know all that goes on in my home and since you insist on sneaking around
00:49:47I may as well save us both the trouble
00:49:51Correspondence from your grandparents the Sheffields. I wrote to them before you arrived
00:49:55Those people are not my grandparents lady Danbury. I have no relation to them whatsoever. In fact
00:50:01It seems you have not been straightforward with me
00:50:05I realize I should not have gone out for a morning ride without a chaperone
00:50:09And what about failing to tell me why you have truly come to London with your sister. I'm rather more
00:50:15concerned about that
00:50:19We have come to find Edwina a husband
00:50:22And is that all?
00:50:23You would be wise to reconsider resorting to more forgeries and half-truths miss Sharma
00:50:30Very few attempt to outwit me and even fewer succeed
00:50:35You are living under my roof under my care
00:50:39Relying on my good name my connections my money. I
00:50:44vouched for you and your sister in front of her majesty the Queen all because I
00:50:49I thought I was paying a kindness to an old friend and we are truly grateful for everything
00:50:58Your mama
00:51:00Misses your father naturally, but she never really wanted to come back here. Did she you did I?
00:51:08Have no interest in being used as a pawn in someone else's game
00:51:11That is not what we are doing then tell me what stipulations the Sheffields have apparently set down with regard
00:51:17to Edwina's match
00:51:19Stipulations which if met will I am guessing guarantee great fortune for you and your family
00:51:28Edwina must marry an Englishman of nobility
00:51:37May could not control your mama's marriage
00:51:40So they mean to interfere with your sisters. Yes
00:51:44They never recovered from my father's lack of rank and title
00:51:49Though let me assure you lady Dunbury. I am not here for selfish reasons
00:51:54After my father died
00:51:55Mama and I did the best we could to raise Edwina all so she would never know of our struggles
00:52:02But our money ran low we used the last for this very journey the Sheffields have agreed to bestow a
00:52:08sizable dowry on my sister and to look after my mama
00:52:12But only if Edwina marries properly
00:52:21And what about you
00:52:24If I could marry for the sake of my family I would but I am NOT my mama's daughter by
00:52:29birth Edwina is
00:52:33I've spent the last eight years raising my sister to walk in the right way to talk in the right
00:52:39way to play the piano forte just so
00:52:45Teaching her twice as much and watching her work twice as hard as anyone else I even taught her how
00:52:50to make this pitiful excuse for tea the English so adore
00:52:53I despise English tea
00:52:56But if it means my sister will not be left destitute
00:53:00Then I will smile and I will not politely after each and every sip to be sure
00:53:08Your sister has a right to know as you said it is her future
00:53:15That is precisely why I shield her because I know her if she was made aware of the circumstances
00:53:21She would marry quickly only to please us. She would say yes to any man kind enough to ask
00:53:27Edwina deserves a chance to find love without such a burden
00:53:33Please you must not tell us all
00:53:37Hmm
00:53:41Formed under pressure desired by many yet possessed only by a fortunate few there is nothing on earth quite so
00:53:52envid as a diamond
00:54:03I
00:54:04Might our Queen finally extinguished the fevered speculation and bestow the highest of honors to a most fortunate young lady
00:54:14tonight
00:54:18With so many futures at risk
00:54:21I do suspect that this author is not the only one waiting with bated breath
00:54:30I do hope you are finding everything in town to your satisfaction
00:54:35Lady Mary indeed. I am your majesty this time around that is
00:54:40Perhaps your mother would enjoy some refreshment
00:54:44Miss Sharma
00:54:53I might think lady mary deserves some recognition ma'am
00:54:57Certainly a sign of true devotion on her part
00:55:00Having sought to introduce her daughters under the discerning eye of your majesty after all
00:55:05The youngest one in particular I think will certainly
00:55:08Make a match that will be the envy of the town
00:55:12Why do I sense my strings being cold lady danbury you said you wanted to shake up the caesar
00:55:20Now's your chance
00:55:24Anyone here you've not yet rejected you're the artist do you see anyone remotely inspiring
00:55:30We shall have our diamond tonight and we shall have a wife
00:55:35Lady Bridgerton miss Bridgerton
00:55:39Such a shame your presentation at court was so rudely interrupted
00:55:42Shame indeed
00:55:43I nearly forgot you were making your debut this season
00:55:47After your elder sister's triumph
00:55:50Perhaps good fortune might run in the family
00:55:56It is a delightful ball your majesty very timidly though I must admit I'm more of an emerald person myself
00:56:13My favorite necklace is one of emeralds how thoughtful of you to know that
00:56:19It seems you have indeed come a long way since last year miss bridgerton
00:56:35If the queen in fact names eloise the diamond then will you marry them brother
00:56:40I'll ask you
00:56:57Ben ben ben ben ben
00:56:59We must leave the queen she somehow managed to charm
00:57:04She seems to in fact like me eloise you must calm down eloise bridgerton
00:57:10The diamond
00:57:12Perhaps now you might stop spending time with insipid wallflowers all evening and refine your circle of friends
00:57:18I may have no clue
00:57:19I would rather die
00:57:30How you manage an entire season of these absurd events alongside people like cressida cowper is beyond me
00:57:35And it's not just her it's all of them staring at me as if I was some fine china teapot
00:57:40How did you do it on your own pen?
00:57:42Well I don't share your difficulties hell insipid wallflower remember
00:57:45That is not
00:57:47Cressida is only insensitive even her new dress cannot hide her character
00:57:56It's not that bad you know
00:57:58The wallflower thing
00:58:01I always get the first glass of lemonade
00:58:03I know who all the best dancers are just from watching
00:58:06I can always tell when a suitor is serious about courtship just by how he looks when a young lady
00:58:10dances with another
00:58:11The wall even affords him his chance to hear what the footman say in secret
00:58:16You've been keeping it from me
00:58:21You do not have to pretend any longer pen
00:58:25You like all of this
00:58:29That can be amusing
00:58:34I know you have begun to think little of her but is lady whittledown still not a source of amusement
00:58:38It's not that I think little of her
00:58:41When she was gone I thought I would miss her I thought I needed her to make sense of this
00:58:44world but
00:58:46Now she is back reporting on the same old things just another reminder of how trapped I am
00:58:55I can feel people's eyes on me every time I walk into a ballroom I know they are comparing me
00:58:59to Daphne
00:59:00She was so good at being the diamond and it made my mother so happy
00:59:06I can never live up to that
00:59:08I do not want to live up to that but it does not make it any easier to know you
00:59:11are constantly disappointing people just by walking into a room
00:59:16I never thought of it that way
00:59:19No one truly notices me
00:59:23I suppose that is what I like
00:59:26When you're invisible you can have all of the amusement you want without any of the expectations popularity brings
00:59:31It frees you
00:59:35Do you think that is why whistledown remains anonymous?
00:59:39Perhaps
00:59:41Do you think that is why Crestra is so cruel?
00:59:44No
00:59:46I think she just wears her hair too tight
01:00:03Do you think that is why Crestra is so cruel?
01:00:05Your presence is noted and your queen most sent to you the season's diamond
01:00:22Miss Edwina Sharma
01:00:41You look at her the way I look at a finished painting, brother
01:00:44Every man needs a muse, does he not?
01:00:45I think that is why Crestra is so cruel
01:01:00Viscount Bridgerton
01:01:02Have you yet met my new incomparable?
01:01:06I'm most grateful for the introduction, your majesty
01:01:09I only hope I shall be afforded the pleasure of a dance
01:01:22I suppose I should thank you
01:01:25Child, it's much too soon for that
01:01:29You must know
01:01:31The real work begins now
01:01:33Indeed
01:01:33There will be a mire to wade through on behalf of my sister to be sure
01:01:37Speaking of, where is my sister?
01:01:41Think of my directness
01:01:42Do you have any thoughts about children?
01:01:45Other than the fact that I desire them so
01:01:48However many I have, my lord, I shall feel misfortunate
01:01:51Together with my husband, we will chart the best course
01:01:55A very sensible
01:01:57Do you play any musical instruments by chance?
01:02:01Many, in fact
01:02:03But for the most part, my education was taken up by more serious pursuits
01:02:09Modern languages, classical literature
01:02:12I do love to read
01:02:15I do not seem discomposed by my line of questioning
01:02:20Why ever would I?
01:02:21A man who knows what he wants is most admirable
01:02:26Is your father in attendance? I should like to speak with him
01:02:30Sadly, my father died years ago
01:02:33Oh
01:02:35I'm so sorry
01:02:38As did mine
01:02:47Though, perhaps you could speak with my sister
01:02:50It is her blessing you shall need if we are
01:02:52Oh, here she is now, king
01:02:54Ah, Lord Bridgerton
01:02:56I see you've met Miss Edwina
01:02:57And this is, uh
01:02:58Her sister?
01:02:59Miss Sharma, my lord
01:03:03The Viscount Bridgerton is a most excellent dancer
01:03:06Perhaps I may learn a thing or two from you, my lord
01:03:08Would you join me in the retiring room, sister?
01:03:13Is something wrong, Vivi?
01:03:15You are not to go near that man, do you understand?
01:03:20She is a lovely diamond, dearest
01:03:22Indeed
01:03:24She is who I shall marry
01:03:27There are a few things I must make you a well
01:03:30Colour, clarity, carrot, cut
01:03:33At long last, the queen has named her most precious stone
01:03:41What is all this?
01:03:46Mum
01:03:48He is here
01:03:49The new Lord Featherington
01:03:55Lady Featherington
01:03:56Lady Featherington
01:03:57That's to work if we are not married
01:04:00It's rather strange
01:04:02I thought the air was old
01:04:04I thought the air was ugly
01:04:06Ladies
01:04:06It is quite all right
01:04:08You must be my father
01:04:09And no offence taken, he was ugly
01:04:11And very old
01:04:12So old that, well, he died
01:04:16I'm terribly sorry for my late arrival
01:04:18I made the trip from America
01:04:20But don't worry
01:04:21I've already started taking care of things
01:04:22And Philippa
01:04:23That must be you
01:04:24Your diary to that fine French fellow is paid
01:04:27The Lady Lord's books are on their way to me now
01:04:29And I even took the liberty of having your possessions moved from your bedchamber
01:04:32Lady Featherington
01:04:34Yes, it's still strange
01:04:36You had my possessions moved?
01:04:37Well, I should be taking over those rooms
01:04:39Now that the home is mine
01:04:40You understand, yes?
01:04:43It is like you said, Noah
01:04:44The new Lord Featherington is here to provide
01:04:50While this author finds Miss Edwina Sharma to be an exceptional young lady
01:04:56It is about time I used these pages of record for something else
01:05:01A shift
01:05:04Is the entire practice of naming a diamond not, well, rather ridiculous?
01:05:11Should a woman not be valued for so much more than her dancing skills or her comportment?
01:05:17Should we not value a woman instead for her candor, her character, her true accomplishments?
01:05:24What do you think, Eloise?
01:05:26I love it
01:05:29Perhaps if the queen abandoned this absurdity that is the diamond
01:05:35We would all see that a woman can be so much more
01:05:40What is it, Your Majesty?
01:05:42Edwina Sharma
01:05:44My diamond
01:05:46It seems she will need to do more for me this season than simply sparkle
01:06:17But that's what a woman who is Evangelanted
01:06:23Phofrance
