00:04:26settled then mrs. Wilson will you show Sophie to a room
00:04:29thank you
00:04:47dearest gentle reader the art of portraiture is to capture its subjects as
00:04:55they appear in daily life
00:05:02while allowing the subtleties crackling beneath the surface to shine through to
00:05:09catch such detail takes an attentive eye and would be beyond the patience of this
00:05:15author as my attentive eye is fixed on the comings and goings of Benedict
00:05:20Bridgerton who has at last returned to society we are back in the hunt
00:05:26whistle down will surely be proven wrong about mr. Bridgerton's intentions at least
00:05:40but a portrait captures only a single moment in time and whether this current
00:05:47portrait of mr. Bridgerton signifies any particular interest in the marriage mart
00:05:53this also remains uncertain for any return to society brings with it a number of compelling
00:06:01distractions your charges miss Bridgerton and miss hyacinth their rooms are through there
00:06:10this Bridgerton always has her nose in a book and will feign illness to avoid society events this
00:06:16hyacinth on the other hand has tried to sneak into a ball on four separate occasions
00:06:23children's laundry
00:06:31kitchen
00:06:51Jellies are nearly ready, Mrs. Wilson.
00:06:53And Gregory.
00:06:54And Mr. Waybaum.
00:06:55Head of schedule, of course.
00:06:58Everyone, this is Sophie, ladies' maid.
00:07:04John, footman, would you like a jelly?
00:07:07No, no, thank you.
00:07:08Finally, someone able to resist John's charms.
00:07:12I think we shall be great friends.
00:07:14Oh, I too could do with a friend.
00:07:16Where did you last work, Sophie?
00:07:18A place like this?
00:07:19No, the house where I worked most of my life, there were only eight of us.
00:07:23Eight?
00:07:24Who did all the cleaning and mending and washing and brushing?
00:07:28Well, I did all of it.
00:07:34Right.
00:07:35Jellies are ready.
00:07:37Let me help carry them.
00:07:38That is not your job, Sophie.
00:07:40I could use with the help.
00:07:42Honestly.
00:07:51Oh, it's been so good to see you.
00:07:53You look different.
00:07:54Come here.
00:07:57Were you not shorter before?
00:07:59You might be taller, but he remains scraggly.
00:08:01The best thing about Eton is that sisters are not allowed.
00:08:05Gregory, we missed you.
00:08:13Someone is ready for his first shave.
00:08:16Send for the barber at once.
00:08:17Quickly, draw another one's sprouts.
00:08:18I had your favorite jellies prepared.
00:08:21Jellies?
00:08:22My palate has developed.
00:08:24I enjoy a scotch egg and a stiff cup of tea now.
00:08:27Very mature.
00:08:29Very well.
00:08:30Everyone to the drawing room for tea.
00:08:47You're home now.
00:08:49Before we head inside, I've omitted more important business, which is that I've returned intent
00:08:54on finding the lady in silver.
00:08:57I thought you had given her up.
00:08:59I would not give up so easily.
00:09:02I am determined to find her, though it is difficult finding someone who does not wish
00:09:07to be found.
00:09:08Perhaps given the somewhat scandalous manner of your first encounter, a more discreet approach
00:09:12is required.
00:09:13I can have Mrs. Wilson gather the miniatures of all the young ladies on the masquerade guest
00:09:17list.
00:09:18And the other maid I read to you about?
00:09:20Hmm?
00:09:21I assure you she's just as capable.
00:09:22If she can do the work, she is welcome.
00:09:24For my son, who is eager to find a wife, anything.
00:10:07Hey, hey, hey!
00:10:09Hey!
00:10:20Oh, my God.
00:10:40Hazel!
00:10:43I was so worried for you.
00:10:45Nothing to worry about now.
00:10:47Heavens provide.
00:10:48Or in this case, Mr Bridgerton.
00:10:50He said he made you a promise to find me employment.
00:10:53Thank goodness he is a man of his word.
00:10:57We shall speak more soon.
00:11:062-2-3, 3-2-3, 4-2-3, 5-2-3.
00:11:12Very good, Miss Hyacinth.
00:11:147-2-3, 8-2-3.
00:11:16You are meant to be observing my progress, Eloise.
00:11:18You have not lived once.
00:11:20Because?
00:11:22Perhaps a brief respite.
00:11:24In fact, the idea that your lessons would have any influence on me
00:11:27is preposterous.
00:11:28I should be influencing you.
00:11:32Why must either of us influence the other?
00:11:35If you do not wish to watch my dance lessons,
00:11:36perhaps I could read to you from my book about ballerinas.
00:11:39Or I could show you my ribbon collection.
00:11:41I do not wish to read about ballerinas.
00:11:43And I do not wish to speak to suitors.
00:11:45But if life on the shelf requires me to chaperone ever younger relations
00:11:49and listen to their babble about ribbons and ballerinas,
00:11:51I do not think that I can endure it.
00:11:53How do you know you will not like the book?
00:11:55It is about Maurice Salé.
00:11:57She is famed for inventing her own steps.
00:11:59She was quite a pioneer of dance.
00:12:04I, I have read the book.
00:12:07See?
00:12:08Are you reading anything now?
00:12:11Miss Edgeworth's Practical Education.
00:12:13I borrowed it at your brother's cottage.
00:12:16I have not read it.
00:12:17Oh, have you read Ennui?
00:12:18Yes, though I prefer when she writes from the feminine perspective.
00:12:22A point well made.
00:12:23We will have to trade books sometime.
00:12:33Good morning.
00:12:37Are you intent on practicing piano forte in private?
00:12:41No, that is not.
00:12:43No, that is not.
00:12:50John?
00:12:52Yes?
00:13:07My apologies.
00:13:08Oh, forgive me.
00:13:08Uh, to what do I owe that surprise?
00:13:16Nothing.
00:13:17I, I was only wanting to, spontaneously, enjoy our tea together.
00:13:29Shall we?
00:13:35The spirits are speaking.
00:13:38They are telling me...
00:13:43Four.
00:13:45That cannot be.
00:13:46You must have seen.
00:13:47I have the gift.
00:13:48Oh, if the gift is a sly piece of trickery.
00:13:54If you truly have the gift of second sight, perhaps you can tell us who our new neighbours are.
00:14:02I believe it is me after I marry a well-to-do gentleman.
00:14:12I have seen a lady coming and going, but no man of the house.
00:14:15Perhaps she is a well-to-do mistress.
00:14:18Mistresses do not live in this neighbourhood, Celia.
00:14:22The Tom would not like to associate with a house of that kind.
00:14:26But what about you, Sophie?
00:14:28Do you have any hidden talents?
00:14:31Oh, I, um, unless you consider mending her talent, I have no others to report.
00:14:43Come.
00:14:43We must prepare the ladies for Lady Danbury's dinner.
00:14:55The carriages are nearly ready for you, my lady.
00:15:00Mrs. Wilson.
00:15:01Mrs. Wilson.
00:15:03Mrs. Wilson.
00:15:04I should...
00:15:05I was wondering...
00:15:07Are you hungry, Mum?
00:15:08No, no, no.
00:15:09My appetite is...
00:15:10I should like to be...
00:15:13I would like to have tea, but I do not know how to do that.
00:15:19Well, I can have invitations made, if you would...
00:15:21Not that kind of tea.
00:15:24And...
00:15:26Evening tea with someone.
00:15:29Alone.
00:15:32How would one arrange such a thing?
00:15:36I would suggest it take place here.
00:15:38I can remove the servants, give them the night off, and I alone can remain for when you need assistance
00:15:43with your gowns.
00:15:44You will have privacy.
00:15:45Privacy?
00:15:45You do know my children.
00:15:47Can they be out for the evening?
00:15:49Uh, well, I have been...
00:15:50I have been pressing Francesca to host a family dinner.
00:15:53I could be ill.
00:15:55You could.
00:15:56Mum, I will make it my business to ensure any evening tea goes entirely unnoticed.
00:16:01Thank you, Mrs. Martin.
00:16:04Everyone drinks tea, Mum.
00:16:07Yes, that's...
00:16:08Yeah, that is true.
00:16:09Everyone drinks tea.
00:16:12Life is meant to be lived.
00:16:27Quite dashing, brother.
00:16:29Oh, good evening, Sophie.
00:16:31Mr. Bridgerton.
00:16:32Oh, excuse me.
00:16:34Oh.
00:16:34Excuse me.
00:16:35We might be here all night.
00:16:36Truly.
00:16:39How are you finding your position?
00:16:41My sisters are not wearing you out, are they?
00:16:44No, not at all.
00:16:46I find them to be delightfully, uh, surprising.
00:16:48Good.
00:16:50I think.
00:16:54Ah, are you still cross at me for bringing you here?
00:16:58No.
00:16:59Everyone has been so generous.
00:17:02In fact, I must thank you for securing a position for Hazel.
00:17:06Oh.
00:17:07Of course.
00:17:09Are you attending Lady Danbury's dinner?
00:17:11No.
00:17:12It is only for the ladies, thankfully.
00:17:14Do you not enjoy this Lady Danbury?
00:17:16Oh, I do.
00:17:17Very much.
00:17:18It is only, um...
00:17:21When we were at my cottage, do you remember asking me about whether I ever felt out of place?
00:17:32Ah.
00:17:33Never mind.
00:17:36Are you in need of assistance?
00:17:38It is a slippery little thing and I cannot find my valet.
00:17:40May I?
00:17:41Okay.
00:17:43Mm-hmm.
00:18:07There you are.
00:18:11Thank you, Sophie.
00:18:27Tell me, Lady Bridgerton, has Benedict yet found his unknown lady?
00:18:35So, Benedict is the free-spirited reveler.
00:18:37Whistledown wrote about.
00:18:38Indeed he is.
00:18:39I thought so.
00:18:40What a treat to have it straight from the author.
00:18:41I have shown Benedict the miniatures of nearly every young lady who attended the Masquerade Ball and he is somehow
00:18:47certain none are her.
00:18:48You may win your wager with the Queen after all, Mrs Bridgerton.
00:18:52Ah, your wager that Benedict would not take a wife this season?
00:18:54Oh, you must know Her Majesty.
00:18:56Back me into it.
00:18:56Well, if our miniature search is any indication, I believe Lady Whistledown would be a wiser woman than I taking
00:19:01that wager.
00:19:02Is Lady Whistledown all that wise?
00:19:04Or has she, have I, not simply become a pawn for Her Majesty and every eager mama on the town?
00:19:12Well, how exactly does Benedict describe this young lady?
00:19:15I would quite like to search for her.
00:19:18Could do with a purpose.
00:19:19I would love you for him.
00:19:21And I think you know as much as I do, if not more.
00:19:29My dear, what would you think about hosting a family dinner?
00:19:34Do you not think a time we all saw your new home?
00:19:37I, I do not know if I am ready for that.
00:19:40Do you not know if John and I are ready?
00:19:43In a week then?
00:19:45That should give you enough time?
00:19:46Yes, she is very intelligent.
00:19:48French, Latin and Korean.
00:19:51And she has read more than half the books in our library.
00:19:52About whom are you speaking?
00:19:54My new lady's maid is extraordinary.
00:19:56Sophie is my lady's maid as well.
00:19:58That is quite an unusual education for a lady's maid, is it not?
00:20:01Oh, she is remarkable.
00:20:02She knows more about art than any of our brothers and she has an aptitude for the sciences.
00:20:09What shall we toast?
00:20:11Perhaps to Benedict's button, as it seems it is getting more attention than any of us this evening.
00:20:16Ah, to Benedict's button.
00:20:21How is the search going for the young lady from the masquerade?
00:20:25Well, our mother told Penelope who told me that you were back on the hunt,
00:20:29but that it was not going very well.
00:20:31You and Penelope and our mother are correct.
00:20:35If I am being honest, she has been a memory in my head for so long now
00:20:39that I can barely remember what she looks like.
00:20:42Benedict, it is good to see you back in town.
00:20:45You remember Miss Virginia?
00:20:46Of course.
00:20:47It is a pleasure to see you.
00:20:49The pleasure is all mine.
00:20:50Excuse us.
00:20:54Hmm.
00:20:55Friends of yours?
00:20:56Yes.
00:20:57Both.
00:20:58Hiscox told me in the countryside that he has taken a mistress
00:21:00and that they are quite in love.
00:21:02That life does not interest me in the least.
00:21:05Do you realise Anthony once kept a mistress?
00:21:08Before Kate, of course.
00:21:09Did he?
00:21:10Does not interest me either.
00:21:12It is common, though.
00:21:13Half the men in here keep mistresses.
00:21:16We must marry according to class, but we do not always love that way.
00:21:21I need another round.
00:21:22I need another round.
00:21:22I did not.
00:21:23Oh.
00:21:23I've been saying that.
00:21:24Oh.
00:21:24Oh, well.
00:21:26Oh.
00:21:30Oh, well, it's good.
00:21:51Oh, now, yeah.
00:21:52doing my job. No, you were not working for us then. Come. I hear you have won over the
00:21:59hardest Bridgerton to impress. Eloise will not stop talking about you. She says you're
00:22:05most well read. Will you tell me about yourself? What would you like to know, Mom? We can start
00:22:16with how someone as educated as yourself ended up in the countryside. Are you from
00:22:22the same village as the Cavenders? No. I grew up in Aylesbury. The lady I worked for was
00:22:30kind enough to let me sit in on her children's lessons. Cavender House was a
00:22:34more recent move. And this family before that, is there a reason why you left? The
00:22:43lady of the house and I had a disagreement in the end. One that I do not wish to
00:22:47discuss, if you do not mind, Mom. Very well. And from Cavender House you went to my
00:22:58cottage? Yes. It was not our intention. But on the ride back a storm broke and then
00:23:04with Mr. Bridgerton's injury we could not travel on. Well, I hope you did not find it
00:23:08too tedious. The pair of you all cooped up like that. The crab trees were there of
00:23:13course. But it was anything but tedious. In fact, it was one of the happiest weeks of my life.
00:23:22I have always wanted to see that part of the country. And your family, do they still reside in
00:23:29Aylesbury? Unfortunately, my parents have both passed on. I see. I am sorry to hear that.
00:23:45Sophie, I know you viewed this as a temporary position, but if you would like it to be
00:23:48permanent, you should stay on. My girls are most fond of you. Well, we all are.
00:23:55Thank you, Lady Bridgerton. I shall consider it. Good. Now, please, have some cake. They
00:24:04are so much better with me. There is something about her that makes
00:24:14me want to protect her. It seems almost as if Sophie is running from something.
00:24:18Hmm. Tell me, what do you think of Alice Mondry? Oh, she's fantastic. I was rather pleased she
00:24:26joined our evening, especially now that she is helping us look for Benedict's young lady.
00:24:29She thinks she may have a candidate. She's conducting some further investigations.
00:24:35I like her even more, then. Violet.
00:24:40I am in a quandary. I have a gift of sorts that I would like to give to Mrs. Mondridge,
00:24:47but if I give it to her, it is more a gift for myself. And I know that is selfish,
00:24:54but can
00:24:54I not have something for myself? Is it so wrong? Will this hurt Mrs. Mondridge in any way?
00:25:00On the contrary, it will benefit her. She will not like it, but it will. And yet, I believe
00:25:08it will benefit me more.
00:25:11I often worry that to want something for myself is selfish, but I do want particular things,
00:25:20and I should have them. You should have them. It is not selfish to want something for yourself.
00:25:25You have a right to be as happy or as free as you would like. You have done so much
00:25:33for so many,
00:25:34Agatha. You have earned your happiness. I have. Life is meant to be lived.
00:25:48Higher? Lower?
00:25:50Lower? They look right to me. I should like everything to be just right before we invite
00:25:56anyone to our home. Are you ever going to tell me what motivated your visit the other morning?
00:26:05My apologies. Do you not know what came over me? I do not know either, but I quite enjoyed it.
00:26:14Did you? Well, I have restrained myself in our private life out of respect for you and your comfort.
00:26:23But if you should like to be more expressive together, I should be happy to comply.
00:26:33I believe I should comply as well.
00:26:48Oh, apologies. I was about to leave.
00:26:50No. Oh, I mean, you do not have to. Not on my account, at least.
00:26:57I was admiring the stars. Or attempting to. There are noticeably fewer here than at my cottage.
00:27:09Yes. It seems the natural beauty of the world is dimmed in Mayfair.
00:27:17I do miss our time in the countryside.
00:27:34Good night.
00:27:38Please do not go.
00:27:43I do not want you to.
00:27:49Your mother asked me to stay on permanently today.
00:27:55And will you?
00:27:59Ever since I was a child, I wished to be part of a family like yours.
00:28:03Even to work for one is a dream.
00:28:19You deserve more, Sophie.
00:28:26I do not know if it is wise for me to stay.
00:28:31Because...
00:28:33Because...
00:28:38If you wish to stay, I do not want to jeopardize that for you.
00:28:48No.
00:28:51No.
00:28:56Good night, Mr. McTier.
00:29:15Oh, my God.
00:29:46Oh, my God.
00:30:09Oh, my God.
00:30:23Oh, my God.
00:30:55Oh, my God.
00:31:00Oh, my God.
00:31:22Oh, my God.
00:31:43Oh, my God.
00:31:50Oh, my God.
00:32:22Oh, my God.
00:32:44Oh, my God.
00:33:15Oh, my God.
00:33:37Oh, my God.
00:34:08Oh, my God.
00:34:10Oh, my God.
00:34:15Oh, my God.
00:34:30Oh, my God.
00:34:32Oh, my God.
00:34:36Oh, my God.
00:34:43Oh, my God.
00:34:47Oh.
00:34:47Oh, my apologies.
00:35:28I especially love the freedom that the country allows.
00:35:31It's much easier to be one's true self without being under the watchful eye of society.
00:35:36And what of your other interests, Miss Hollis?
00:35:38Do you enjoy swimming?
00:35:40Swimming?
00:35:41Yes.
00:35:42In a lake, for example, where it is calm and shallow.
00:35:47Or the sea, where things are vast and deep.
00:35:52It sounds almost like a riddle, Mr. Bridgety.
00:35:55I do quite enjoy a good swim, particularly in the sea.
00:35:59We spent many childhood summers on the coast of France, in fact.
00:36:03Did you? Do you speak French?
00:36:04Oui, bien sûr. Et vous?
00:36:09Un peu, mais pas très bien.
00:36:11Well, some tutors have said that my pronunciation could be improved.
00:36:15That my jaw moves too rapidly.
00:36:17I would happily disagree.
00:36:19I think you speak perfectly.
00:36:21Whoever told you that is a fool.
00:36:25Dobra?
00:36:25Yes.
00:36:27Calling.
00:36:29He's a big one.
00:36:40Maybe he can show you.
00:36:42Would anyone care for more tea?
00:36:43Where is Hazel or Celia?
00:36:46They're both presently occupied, so I insisted on helping, sir.
00:36:50Miss Hollis, more tea?
00:36:51If it is not too much trouble.
00:36:54Whereabouts in France?
00:36:54They say the weather in Paris is very, very sunny.
00:36:58Hmm.
00:37:00I suppose the coast.
00:37:01Well, we've travelled extensively.
00:37:04The south of France is a little warm.
00:37:08Oh, really, no more for me.
00:37:09Oh, damn it!
00:37:11Benedict.
00:37:11Forgive me, I am so...
00:37:13Forgive me.
00:37:14Leave it.
00:37:15Leave it.
00:37:19I will return with another cup.
00:37:26It is rather late, is it not?
00:37:28Yes.
00:37:30Perhaps we should go.
00:37:32We do have a family event to attend this evening.
00:37:35Such a beautiful home.
00:37:37It has always been the dream of mine to visit Bridgetton House.
00:37:40Oh, but surely you were here for the masquerade ball.
00:37:42Oh, yes, I was planning to attend, but sadly I fell ill and could not.
00:37:46Perhaps with all the disguises, I was thought to have been there.
00:37:49Well, I'm glad we could fulfil that dream today.
00:37:53Mr Bridgerton.
00:37:59My pleasure.
00:38:14May I help you?
00:38:15Do not be foolish.
00:38:18Sophie, forgive me.
00:38:19I did not know you would be sniffing tea.
00:38:22What does it matter?
00:38:23You are a gentleman.
00:38:25Gentlemen meet eligible young ladies.
00:38:27And I am a maid and I clean up after.
00:38:29It is the way of things.
00:38:31Well, but you should not have to witness it.
00:38:33It is highly unhelpful when you say things like that.
00:38:36Even more so when you fill my head with foolish ideas,
00:38:39as you did last night in this very spot.
00:38:40I have no intention of pursuing Miss Hollis.
00:38:43She can never compare.
00:38:45Compare to what?
00:38:47Why are you always here?
00:38:49Every day, everywhere I turn, there you are.
00:38:52This is the very best position I have ever had.
00:38:55But I cannot stay if you are living here and you are ruining it.
00:38:58You are ruining it all.
00:39:02A bachelor's not meant to live in their bachelor lodgings.
00:39:10Perhaps I should start spending more time there.
00:39:15If it would make you more comfortable.
00:39:17Perhaps you should.
00:39:21Please.
00:39:23I will go then.
00:39:27And I will try to return as little as possible.
00:39:43It would be remiss of you not to, by the way.
00:39:47What?
00:39:49To see something with Miss Hollis.
00:39:52That she seemed delightful.
00:39:55A perfect fantasy.
00:40:15A perfect fantasy.
00:40:23A perfect fantasy.
00:40:27A perfect fantasy.
00:41:06John!
00:41:09John!
00:41:25Francesca?
00:41:27Yes?
00:41:31You know, you do not have to do that.
00:41:35Do what?
00:41:39You do not have to perform for my sake.
00:41:47You did not reach your pinnacle, did you?
00:41:51No.
00:41:54I did not.
00:41:57And I lied to you.
00:41:58I have not.
00:42:01Ever.
00:42:02Francesca.
00:42:02And I am certain it is the reason we are not yet with the child.
00:42:05Francesca.
00:42:05Forgive me, I do not know what is wrong with me.
00:42:07Francesca, there is nothing wrong with you.
00:42:09Francesca.
00:42:11Francesca.
00:42:12Francesca.
00:42:13How did you feel before the...
00:42:17Pretend pinnacle.
00:42:24I felt...
00:42:27lovely.
00:42:32Tingling sensations.
00:42:36Warm.
00:42:38Good.
00:42:39Well, for me...
00:42:41when we are together...
00:42:45it is not only because I wish for children.
00:42:48When we are together, I feel I am travelling closer to you.
00:42:52In my body, of course, but...
00:42:55also in my heart.
00:42:58Whatever you wish for in life, I will always endeavour to give it to you.
00:43:04Children.
00:43:06Pinnacles.
00:43:09But I also hope you know that you are just right as you are.
00:43:15We are just right as we are right now.
00:43:21And we have all the time in the world for the rest.
00:43:45She will be down any minute.
00:43:47Hm.
00:43:50She has not spoken a word since she last saw you.
00:43:53Ah.
00:43:54That is what she is like when she is angry.
00:43:57And I know that she is not angry with me.
00:43:59No, she is not.
00:44:03It is quite early for a call, Lady Dunbury.
00:44:07I, er...
00:44:08I wanted to explain.
00:44:09There is nothing to explain.
00:44:10I would like someone to explain.
00:44:12I do not want to be a lady-in-waiting for the Queen.
00:44:14Oh.
00:44:15That is...
00:44:16Wait, you do not want to be a lady-in-waiting?
00:44:19Why?
00:44:20I simply do not want to.
00:44:21But why?
00:44:22Do you even know why?
00:44:24Or are you saying no because I did not ask you,
00:44:26or because you are scared?
00:44:28She did not ask me.
00:44:29She simply threw me at Her Majesty.
00:44:31Because I needed you calm.
00:44:34Your fear would have taken over and you would have walked in there
00:44:36and spurned the greatest gift anyone could ever give you.
00:44:39Gift?
00:44:41As I said, being a lady-in-waiting is an honor.
00:44:46One that most would only ever dare to dream of.
00:44:48I did not dream of it.
00:44:50You did not dream of Kent House, yet here you are.
00:44:54You do not need to dream of something to say yes.
00:44:57You need only be given the opportunity to prove you are worthy.
00:45:00And you are worthy, Alice.
00:45:04You are exactly what she needs.
00:45:07Look at the way you argue with me.
00:45:09The way you will not back down.
00:45:11You are intelligent and of good character.
00:45:15I am not of this world, Lady Danbury.
00:45:18Exactly.
00:45:18You are not of this world.
00:45:20You are different.
00:45:22And perhaps better for having been on the other side.
00:45:24I was once on the other side.
00:45:26But once I was in.
00:45:28I refuse to be anything but unstoppable.
00:45:31And you can be unstoppable standing behind the Queen.
00:45:35Look at the world I have helped her to make.
00:45:39You are not like those other ladies-in-waiting.
00:45:41You will not wait.
00:45:42You will challenge her.
00:45:43You will tell her the truth.
00:45:44And you will always remember that she is the Queen.
00:45:46But you will not always treat her like the Queen.
00:45:51That is what she needs.
00:45:52That is how you earn her friendship.
00:45:56I do not want...
00:45:59Friends with the Queen.
00:46:02I cannot fill your shoes, Lady Danbury.
00:46:05I am not asking you to fill my shoes.
00:46:07I am asking you to serve your Queen and your country.
00:46:11And get your own shoes.
00:46:14I am telling you, Alice, to rise.
00:46:34Francesca said you declined her invitation to dinner tonight.
00:46:36And you departed Bridgerton House in quite a hurry last night.
00:46:40Are the two connected?
00:46:42I simply could do with a little time on my own.
00:46:46I am sorry that Miss Hollis is not your lady in silver.
00:46:50It is all right.
00:46:51I think it is time I end that pursuit.
00:46:54I am not certain she even exists.
00:46:56She may not.
00:46:57At least not in the way you had imagined in your head.
00:47:01Which perhaps is why you were so drawn to her.
00:47:03You have always had a tendency to chase the imagined.
00:47:07Well, you are doing an excellent job raising my spirits.
00:47:09No, no.
00:47:09We all chase the imagined to some extent.
00:47:11I am still expecting to see your father around every corner.
00:47:16But I also know that reality is where love grows.
00:47:19Reality feeds your heart.
00:47:23It is all very well to dream, but, Benedict, you can only chase the imagined.
00:47:32There will be others with whom you will find a spark.
00:47:39Young ladies of the town, in silver or otherwise.
00:47:46Trust me.
00:47:56I lost that round on purpose because I knew I would lose it.
00:48:00You are fascinating.
00:48:03I know you are on your break.
00:48:05But instead, I wish for you all to take the night off.
00:48:09The family is all at Clermarton House, or otherwise occupied.
00:48:13But you cannot stay here.
00:48:14I want everyone out of the house.
00:48:26Sophie, perhaps it is finally time for you to join us at the tavern.
00:48:30I think I shall.
00:48:33Guess who I convinced to come?
00:48:35Yes!
00:48:42Mrs. Wilson, I wanted to let you know that I have decided
00:48:46to stay on at Bridgerton House.
00:48:48I am very glad of that.
00:48:50You are cherished around here.
00:48:52Truly.
00:48:59Thank you all for coming.
00:49:05I am sorry it took so long to invite you, but we wanted to make sure everything was just right.
00:49:10And things are just right now.
00:49:13I thought our mother was coming.
00:49:15Indeed.
00:49:15Indeed.
00:49:15In fact, tonight was her idea.
00:49:18Apparently she is ill.
00:49:20And where is Benedict?
00:49:21Perhaps he has the same illness.
00:49:38Do you not think the way Francesca has had everything arranged is perfect?
00:49:42I cannot wait to have a home of my own.
00:49:44Please do not start going on about accomplishments and home decoration and marriage again.
00:49:48I cannot listen to any more of it.
00:49:54You know, lately I have thought you were interested in everyone but me.
00:50:00But I am starting to wonder if in fact you were only interested in yourself.
00:50:14My lord, there is another guest.
00:50:34I do hope you have missed me.
00:50:36Michaela, what on earth are you driving?
00:50:40Apparently my coachman's stomach cannot handle long journeys.
00:50:45Do fetch him some water in a bucket.
00:50:47Yes ma'am.
00:50:49What a wonderful surprise.
00:50:51Is it?
00:50:52You look as though you have seen a ghost.
00:50:54Come in here.
00:50:56Don't bother me.
00:51:04Don't bother me.
00:51:53You may enter.
00:52:06Mrs. Wilson told me you were serving tea somewhere new.
00:52:11This is new.
00:52:12It is.
00:52:15I must understand that this means...
00:52:18I am the tea that you are having.
00:52:32You can take it slowly.
00:52:33Get undressed.
00:52:55I am the tea that you are having.
00:53:12I am sure I will.
00:53:16Oh, I have left my coin purse in my room.
00:53:19I shall reach out to tavern.
00:53:29Sophie?
00:53:34Sophie?
00:53:34Sophie?
00:53:34Sophie?
00:53:34Sophie?
00:53:49Sophie?
00:53:51Sophie?
00:53:54Sophie?
00:53:56Sophie?
00:53:57Sophie?
00:53:58Sophie?
00:53:59No.
00:55:28If you wish me to leave, I will.
00:55:31But the truth is, I stay away because you consume me.
00:55:38And when I search for you and everyone I enter, my heart beats when you're near.
00:55:45The reality of you has become more tantalizing than any fantasy ever could be, and one I cannot live without.
00:55:59I meant it when I said you deserve better, and I'm determined to give it a more.
00:56:04Oh, Sophie.
00:56:12Be my mistress.
00:56:21Are you coming, Sophie?
00:56:23We waited for you.
00:56:25Okay.
00:56:36Okay.
00:56:41Okay.
00:56:49A wise man once said that all the world's a stage, with us each a role to play.
00:57:00Certainly long-performed roles can begin after a time to feel stifling.
00:57:22What is it?
00:57:28Nothing.
00:57:29Nothing.
00:57:29Nothing.
00:57:29I'm just... happy.
00:57:33But what happens when one decides to play a new game?
00:57:50Will it create something unexpected?
00:57:55Will it create something unexpected?
00:58:14I have always wanted to live on Grosvenor Square.
00:58:22Welcome back, Mum.
00:58:25Something worse than one could have ever imagined.
00:58:29Would it be an episode?
00:58:36Look.
00:58:46How do you enjoy this episode?
00:58:47I am a hero.
00:58:47This is a dream we have.
00:58:58And I am a hero.
00:58:59You are not a hero.
