00:00:01The fastest courtship upon record occurred during the markedly wet season of 1804,
00:00:08when Miss Mary Leopold secured a betrothal over a plate of sugared almonds and licorice in just four and a
00:00:16half minutes.
00:00:18Of course, Miss Leopold and her new husband would leave London mere hours after their wedding. Reason unknown.
00:00:28Of all that I have imparted to you, dear reader, there is but one bit of wisdom you must heed
00:00:34most.
00:00:35One can never know the truth of a marriage hiding behind closed doors.
00:00:43Beware indeed, blushing newlyweds. You know not the future that awaits.
00:00:49Will there be hardship?
00:00:53Or indignity?
00:00:55Go away! Leave me alone!
00:01:06Or will one's future see the rarest accomplishment of all?
00:01:12A true love match.
00:01:17As for which of these fates await the eager matches of the season of 1813, only two things will tell.
00:01:26Time, and as always, this author.
00:01:31You are permitted to smile, your graces.
00:01:38Might you both move a bit closer as well?
00:01:45Better.
00:01:50Once this portrait business is settled, I shall quit London. Tonight, perhaps.
00:01:55And draw new whispers about the state of our marriage. I would prefer otherwise, now that we know I am
00:02:00not with child.
00:02:02You should depart London at the end of the season, with the rest of the ton, as planned.
00:02:07It is but a few more days.
00:02:08Very well.
00:02:15And as to the matter of the Hastings Ball on Friday, might I count on your attendance?
00:02:20It seems I have little choice in the matter, seeing as I am one of the hosts.
00:02:23That should be your last such commitment. This time next week, our ruse will be well and truly over.
00:02:28Uh, um, apologies, but this is not working.
00:02:33Perhaps His Grace might place his hand on the Duchess's shoulder, so that you both can look as happy as
00:02:38you surely must be.
00:03:00My word. The very picture of devotion.
00:03:30And where did you meet her?
00:03:31About town.
00:03:32Are they sure?
00:03:33Should you not be off somewhere, getting ready to attend your very first ball?
00:03:38Brother, might I be able to join in on the phone this summer at Aubrey Hall?
00:03:44Brother!
00:03:46Provided you stay clear of my lucky mullet, I think you'd have a fine idea.
00:03:49You cannot be in earnest.
00:03:50I shall begin practicing straight away.
00:03:52What other places might Madame Delacroix frequent, besides her shop?
00:03:55Many places, Eloise, for her many interests.
00:03:58You mean her many secrets?
00:04:01You need to be careful, Benedict. Madame Delacroix may not be who you think she is, and consorting with her
00:04:06wealth, there may be consequences.
00:04:09I would have expected this from anyone but you.
00:04:11You think just because Madame Delacroix has a paid occupation, or because she does not reside within the bounds of
00:04:16Grosvenor Square, she's different, is that it?
00:04:17She's somehow less deserving of my attention, because she's not who polite society deems appropriate.
00:04:22That is not what I'm saying at all.
00:04:24What are you saying?
00:04:30You are right.
00:04:31Perhaps you should go and prepare for our sisters.
00:04:32Perhaps you should.
00:04:34Aunt Winnie has sent word.
00:04:36Francesca will be arriving home tomorrow.
00:04:37How exciting!
00:04:38Perhaps she can tell us of time well spent far from London.
00:04:41If I must miss so much.
00:04:42Indeed.
00:04:43It certainly has been an eventful season, with Daphne and the Duke and then Anthony and...
00:04:49Yes, well, never mind.
00:04:54Marina!
00:04:55Pen, come in.
00:04:59What are you doing, my master? Do you must rest?
00:05:01I'm already feeling much improved.
00:05:03Marina.
00:05:03What?
00:05:04Penelope, I assure you, I am well.
00:05:07That tea has accomplished what I needed it to.
00:05:09And now, if it's season over, I can finally go home.
00:05:14So that means you are no longer...
00:05:16With child.
00:05:17I would have felt something by now, I'm certain.
00:05:22You caused quite a flutter.
00:05:25That was not my intention.
00:05:28But I am sorry.
00:05:29For everything I've done and said.
00:05:33You were right.
00:05:35About Colin.
00:05:37He is a good man, with a good heart.
00:05:40You were very good to him.
00:05:42I am certain one day he will see it.
00:05:50That is odd.
00:05:51I wasn't expecting any callers today.
00:06:00Oh.
00:06:02Marina.
00:06:03Are you quite well?
00:06:10I have made my decision.
00:06:13The Duke and I are going all separate ways.
00:06:16It is for the best, truly.
00:06:19I know I do not always say the right things.
00:06:22And then, the things I do say, well, they are not always what you wish to hear.
00:06:27I'm only able to offer you what I know.
00:06:31However difficult forgiving someone may be, it is necessary to move forward.
00:06:36That is not up to me, Mama.
00:06:40The Duke is choosing to nurture some grudge against his father instead of allowing himself any, any kind of happiness.
00:06:48However am I supposed to forgive that?
00:06:51However are we supposed to move forward from there?
00:06:55Grace.
00:06:58I do hope you are finding everything you need for Friday's ball.
00:07:02It will certainly be the event of the season.
00:07:06Of course, my young ladies will have to hear about the wondrous festivities the next day.
00:07:12See how they did not receive an invitation.
00:07:16Prudence in particular is in tears about it.
00:07:18Is she not, Mrs. Varley?
00:07:21Oh, absolute worship, not that, Mum.
00:07:24Then perhaps you might explain to your young ladies, Lady Featherington,
00:07:27how they ended up in such an unfortunate situation and who exactly put them there.
00:07:31Or perhaps we can make room.
00:07:35I certainly would have no problem extending my invitation.
00:07:39As I am sure all of us would like to forgive the errors of the past and move forward.
00:07:44Yes, Mama?
00:07:47That is what you wish.
00:07:49How long?
00:07:51Apologies, Ma'am.
00:07:52But it seems a carriage has arrived back at the house.
00:07:55And Mr. Crane is there.
00:07:58I beg your pardon, but did you say Crane?
00:08:02Would that be a Sir George, Crane?
00:08:09Mr. Crane, how delightful to make your acquaintance.
00:08:12I had no idea soldiers such as yourself was coming to town.
00:08:16And, well, Miss Thompson has not received any correspondence from you in quite some time.
00:08:22Nor would I have expected her to, my lady.
00:08:25I beg your pardon?
00:08:26That man is not who you believe him to be, Lady Featherington.
00:08:28It is not George, but his brother, Sir Philip.
00:08:35I have come bearing grim news today.
00:08:39My brother George died on the battlefield.
00:08:45Several weeks ago.
00:08:47And, er...
00:08:49Marina.
00:08:51Marina, please.
00:08:52Wait.
00:08:56He was writing to me.
00:08:59George.
00:09:01To tell me he loved me.
00:09:05To tell me we could run away together, and marry, and have our child.
00:09:13Sir Philip found this half-written letter amongst George's belongings after he, um...
00:09:22If it were not for your recent inquiries, Sir Philip never would have known I was here.
00:09:29And I never would have known George.
00:09:33He loved me.
00:09:37All this time, he loved me.
00:09:39All this time, he loved me.
00:09:43I thought him a villain.
00:09:45But he was not.
00:09:53He had a perfectly reasonable explanation for not writing back to me.
00:10:03And I was wrong.
00:10:21Rizé-Louis, you should come back another day when the shop is open.
00:10:25Oh, I had hoped you'd make an exception for me.
00:10:28I need a dress for my sister's ball.
00:10:32You already have a dress for your sister's ball.
00:10:34I need another one.
00:10:35A young lady can never have too many dresses.
00:10:43Or, perhaps this one.
00:10:45Would make me look quite in fashion.
00:10:47The eyes of the Featheringtons, I rather think.
00:10:50Unfortunate young ladies.
00:10:51They are still quite stung from Lady Whistledown's recent exposé.
00:10:55How I wish the author would write something flattering about them.
00:10:58Perhaps she will.
00:11:00What makes you say that?
00:11:01Because she knows what is good for her business and angering loyal customers is not good.
00:11:09No.
00:11:10No, it is not.
00:11:12Whether those loyal customers be Featheringtons.
00:11:15Or Bridgitons, even.
00:11:18Lady Whistledown might wish to examine what she writes about both.
00:11:21Indeed.
00:11:24I have heard people say that men, such as my brother, if you will, can withstand rumour and gossip.
00:11:32But I'm not always so sure.
00:11:37I know where you are here, Miss Eloise.
00:11:41You are very smart and you care very much about the people in your life, as you should.
00:11:47But you must know, I have no intention of compromising anyone.
00:11:56That is good.
00:11:58Because the Queen is enraged.
00:12:00So whoever whistledown is should be careful.
00:12:03I would hate her to be silenced before she has a chance to change her ways and make things right.
00:12:08I believe Whistledown is smart enough to take care of herself.
00:12:13Yes.
00:12:14She certainly is.
00:12:17Charming chatting with you, Madame Delacroix.
00:12:24Lock the door.
00:12:38Yes, that's right.
00:12:40Yes, that's right.
00:12:41Yes, that's right.
00:13:07your grace no grace heading to will's boxing match will you be accompanying me no i have
00:13:16much to do for the ball but of course you should go and express your support

00:15:28why did you want us here i want to place a sizable wager on this match
00:15:32and i'm told you two can manage serious transactions
00:15:38my money's on the beast
00:15:40with mondric heavily favored there's only one reason a flash cold lord would come to us for such a bet
00:15:46anyone who knows you must know your word is worthless
00:15:52you don't need to take my word instead
00:15:58you can take the deed to my house
00:16:00should i use it's yours
00:16:07Let's go.
00:16:32I figured you'd have been here an hour ago.
00:16:34No, it would have been.
00:16:36As long as if you needed me here to wish you luck.
00:16:38You ready?
00:16:42As I shall ever be.
00:16:48Ladies and gentlemen, take your seats.
00:16:51The match is about to begin.
00:16:55Our credit at the mode East, it is still rather precarious.
00:17:01As in, it is non-existent.
00:17:03Well, the young ladies will just have to wear something they've worn before.
00:17:07Before?
00:17:08Mama, I would rather not attend.
00:17:09Do you want to even wear a dress worn before?
00:17:15I beg your pardon, my lady, but it seems my business here is not quite finished.
00:17:20I would very much like to speak to Miss Thompson.
00:17:24I have a question for her.
00:17:26Marry you?
00:17:29I do not understand.
00:17:30After my brother clearly took liberties with your virtue, I would merely be doing my duty.
00:17:42Respectful marriage.
00:17:43Miss Thompson, what a fine thing.
00:17:47Sir Philip inherited the Crane title.
00:17:49He has a perfectly adequate estate to support you and perhaps your distant cousins, too.
00:17:56I cannot.
00:17:58I do not know this man.
00:18:00I do not love this man.
00:18:03I cannot marry this man.
00:18:11George cared for you very much, Miss Thompson.
00:18:14And that will never change.
00:18:16But he would have wanted you to be looked after.
00:18:19He would have wanted you to be supported.
00:18:22Allow me to realize my late brother's wishes.
00:18:32I thank you for your offer, Sir Philip, but I believe you should now take your leave.
00:18:40Very well.
00:18:43I wish you all the best, Miss Thompson.
00:19:00What have you done?
00:19:02That was a perfectly acceptable proposal.
00:19:07I am no longer with child, Lady Featherington.
00:19:09So it is neither necessary nor acceptable for me to participate in any more unwanted arrangements
00:19:15or disingenuous schemes.
00:19:37What have you done?
00:19:39Don't run into him.
00:19:43So, you're lucky to be surprised.
00:21:49Come on!
00:21:50Come on, the beast!

00:26:48I thought you enjoyed breakfast in the morning room?
00:26:50I wish for different scenery today.
00:26:53I can go if you would like.
00:26:55No. You've already begun.
00:27:26I'm going to Bridgeton House this morning.
00:27:28Dear Francesca has returned from Bath.
00:27:32It seems my entire family is gathering.
00:27:36Would you care to join me?
00:27:39I must admit my brothers will think it odd if you do not.
00:27:45Yes.
00:27:48Yes, I shall join you.
00:27:57Why, yes, brother, I am confident I could last a few rounds in a box.
00:28:00Well, that is certainly a much I'd like to see you.
00:28:03Sister!
00:28:05Francesca!
00:28:06Welcome home.
00:28:07It is so wonderful to see you.
00:28:09And you, Your Grace.
00:28:11I thought four brothers enough, but returning to five is quite nice.
00:28:14Simon! When will I be able to visit Cliveden?
00:28:17I sent him to allow the Duke to find this year before you trouble him.
00:28:19You are welcome to visit at any time.
00:28:24Come, show me what you've been learning all summer, sister.
00:28:27I do not share my food.
00:28:29You are not to do what you did the other morning ever again.
00:28:31Do you understand that, Louise?
00:28:33Oh, you mean visiting my new acquaintance, Madame Delacroix?
00:28:35She's not your...
00:28:35I was wrong about her, brother.
00:28:37She's wonderful. You have nothing to worry about.
00:28:38I was not worried about anything.
00:28:40Not worried about what?
00:28:44I...
00:28:46I have a friendship with Genevieve Delacroix.
00:28:52The...
00:28:53Modiste.
00:29:01Good for you, brother.
00:29:03You deserve contentment. We all do.
00:29:05If the lady contributes to that, then I'm happy for you.
00:29:07Your piano forte is quite interesting.
00:29:10Join me, brother.
00:29:11Yes, pardon, why not a song?
00:29:13If I must.
00:29:14Whatever is in those candies.
00:29:21No.
00:29:24No.
00:29:24And even the cat...
00:29:25...what if she's just in the cat...
00:29:28Littleplings.
00:29:30I believe after tw owedстрences.
00:29:32What did you do?
00:29:32And actually did the catch...
00:29:39They're minimise.
00:29:41True.
00:29:43They're missed.
00:29:45her lady whistle down who is she she is madame delacroix madame delacroix is her the modiste
00:29:52and whistle down are one in the same and she is going to print something in your family's favor
00:29:55pen she told me so well that certainly is an impressive feat to running two businesses we
00:30:00should both aspire to be just like her unmarried earning our own money look i'm happy you found
00:30:07her but i do not think i can ever be like that you know have a duchess for a sister
00:30:12that makes
00:30:13achieving the life you wish for all the more easier the status of my family or ever it's an
00:30:17entirely different story which will not be changing in the foreseeable future
00:30:34it is exactly how many horses do you have might i have an extra one your horses are the prettiest
00:30:40higher sense i do believe the duke is what a pony do you do you do realize it is only
00:30:58made of paper
00:31:09oh astonishing madame delacroix well because you were able to pay in advance this time and since i
00:31:16happened to have some fabrics no one else seemed to want there are two others just like it lady
00:31:22you're doing mine will have to be taken in of course mine's perfect and mine is yellow is he
00:31:28young ladies everything works out in the end oh and philippa perhaps mr finch might even reconsider
00:31:35his proposal now that um you have your dairy again again yeah well did i lose it somewhere the first
00:31:43time
00:32:06the final wall of any season is distinguished by one of two things anticipation
00:32:13uh dread
00:32:15so
00:32:29so
00:32:31so
00:32:47To be continued...
00:33:04As they know indeed just what the evening signifies.
00:33:09That their time is officially up.
00:33:15So does that mean...
00:33:16You truly believed a tea would rectify the situation, madam?
00:33:21As if that ever works.
00:33:25And yet, to those who may still find themselves out of both choices and hope,
00:33:31fear not.
00:33:32For who knows when and where one's fortunes may change.
00:33:37He was completely in his cups.
00:33:42I'd wait if the both of you were.
00:33:44Well, I would take you, but...
00:33:54Well, we must pass.
00:33:56I should prepare for my show.
00:33:58And you...
00:34:00Well, I believe there is a bull somewhere, requiring your presence.
00:34:05The last one, yes?
00:34:06Of the season.
00:34:08Though, unfortunately, not the last of mine.
00:34:12Does that mean you'll dance tonight, my lord?
00:34:16Perhaps the cordial?
00:34:19Oh, do not tell me you should find some young lady to lead in a waltz all evening.
00:34:24I shall not be anywhere near that dance floor.
00:34:29At least not if I have a say in it.
00:34:31Now, wherever is the fun in that.
00:34:41I shall...
00:34:42Come with me.
00:34:45Tonight.
00:34:48Sienna, I am a viscount.
00:34:50My sister is now a duchess, and the Duke my brother-in-law.
00:34:55There is no one that would dare say a thing.
00:34:58No, not to you
00:35:02This is preposterous
00:35:04And fantastical
00:35:07And you know it
00:35:08I want you there by my side
00:35:14Come with me
00:35:17Come with me
00:35:56Come with me
00:35:56And Granville did seem to omit the grey hair or two I surely gained from the emotions of the past
00:36:00few weeks
00:36:04Perhaps a few wrinkles too
00:36:06Oh, you wound me
00:36:10We should discuss the order of events this evening
00:36:13Naturally
00:36:14I think it wise for us to engage in three dances, would you say?
00:36:19Two
00:36:20It is our ball, Your Grace
00:36:22I do fear two dances may leave our guests terribly, but unexcited
00:36:26Much better than the opposite, I rather think
00:36:28Leaving them overly excited and terribly unruly
00:36:30Two dances at most
00:36:41You were wonderful today
00:36:43With Gregory and Hyacinth
00:36:47They adore you
00:36:51Children always have done
00:36:53It still does not mean I want any of my own
00:36:58Of course
00:37:01Your Grace
00:37:02Your Grace is
00:37:02Your guests are arriving
00:37:09One last dance it is
00:37:11Of course
00:37:22Thanks for joining us
00:37:27Come back to Us
00:37:27One last dance
00:37:32We're
00:37:32There's a dozen
00:37:34That's one
00:37:35You're welcome
00:37:39Thanks for joining us
00:38:12Perhaps you should like to meet a picture.
00:38:18Dearest, you must see this as a rehearsal.
00:38:22Until you are officially out, you need not feel so strange tonight.
00:38:26It's as if I shall feel anything with the inability to breathe in this corset.
00:38:29That's my dear.
00:38:34For someone who hates ball gowns, you look exquisite in one.
00:38:40Yeah.
00:38:44If you wish to go up to the library for the rest of the evening, I shall not say a
00:38:47word.
00:38:48Nor shall I blame you.
00:38:51I'm merely glad you came.
00:38:55Yes.
00:38:58I suppose I should thank you.
00:39:01Whatever for?
00:39:03For being so perfect.
00:39:05So I do not have to be.
00:39:18Oh, of course you.
00:39:29Lady Featherington, what a pleasant surprise.
00:39:32We did not expect to see you here.
00:39:34What can I say?
00:39:35The Duchess extended an invitation personally.
00:39:40Circumstances change, ladies.
00:39:42Sometimes overnight.
00:39:43We hear your husband secured himself away the other day.
00:39:46Where is he?
00:39:47Still out celebrating?
00:39:48One circumstance that is most likely not changed, I imagine.
00:39:58Someone special in here for me, I presume?
00:40:00Only the best for you, my lord.
00:40:08Featherington.

00:47:49We really must get back to the party.
00:47:50For the moment.
00:48:07Lady Whistler.
00:48:23Go, is this a trap?
00:48:27What do you think you're doing?
00:48:28I apologize.
00:48:29I thought you were someone else.
00:48:31Perhaps you might catch up with her.
00:48:33Why did you do that?
00:48:45I don't know.
00:48:46I don't know.
00:48:47I don't know.
00:48:47I don't know.
00:48:48I don't know.
00:48:50I don't know.
00:48:51I've been here.
00:48:56I don't know.
00:49:08I presume your plans to separate from her grace have not yet changed?
00:49:13They have not.
00:49:15Neither it appears your ability to somehow hear every piece of gossip that transpires in this town.
00:49:20When will you accept it?
00:49:21I know.
00:49:25Pride, your grace.
00:49:28It will cost you everything and leave you with nothing.
00:49:31You must not allow it to happen to you, too.
00:49:44Is it different for them, men, to know whether they are in love?
00:49:52Everything else seems different to them.
00:49:57We agreed to one dance tonight.
00:49:59A waltz.
00:50:05I miss dancing with your father.
00:50:09The very last time I danced was with him.
00:50:13The ball.
00:50:14There were peacocks present, I believe, real ones.
00:50:23I suppose I miss everything about him, really.
00:50:26The two of you loved each other so very much.
00:50:29It is a rarity, I've come to realize.
00:50:31But that is not to say it was without its trials.
00:50:35Your father and I faced many difficulties indeed, but we overcame them.
00:50:40We made a decision early on to do so.
00:50:43Mama, I do not think...
00:50:45We chose to love each other every single day.
00:50:50It is a choice, dear.
00:50:53One that is never too late to make.
00:50:57I may never be able to see your father again.
00:51:02I may wake every morning and touch the pillow he used to lay his head.
00:51:10But knowing that the two of us made the choice to love and to do all that we could...
00:51:20Well, I cannot tell you how much peace and comfort that brings to me.
00:51:27I wish there was something wrong.
00:51:29I wish I could do this.
00:51:31You are a Bridget.
00:51:33There is nothing you cannot do.
00:51:50I wish I could do this.
00:52:44I wish I could do this.
00:52:47I wish I could do this.
00:53:03Nothing.
00:53:06Nothing.
00:53:40Everyone, I believe this evening is complete.
00:53:45We shall thank our gracious hosts for such a splendid soiree in the morning.
00:53:50Now go.
00:53:53Out.
00:53:55At once.
00:54:02At me, I am so sorry.
00:54:07For what?
00:54:09Even a duke cannot control the weather.
00:54:12I know that this is not what you had envisioned for the evening.
00:54:14Certainly not.
00:54:16For that, I...
00:54:17It is better.
00:54:20I know why you made that vow to your father.
00:54:24I found the letters you wrote to him as a child, and I read them.
00:54:30Definitely.
00:54:31Just because something is not perfect, does not make it any less worthy of love.
00:54:39Your father made you believe otherwise.
00:54:43He made you believe that you needed to be without fault in order to be loved, but he was wrong.
00:54:50Should you need any proof of the matter, then look just here.
00:54:55I am tired of pretending, and I cannot continue acting as if I...
00:55:04As if I do not love you, because I do.
00:55:09I love all of you, even the parts that you believe are too dark and too shameful.
00:55:17Every scar, every flaw, every imperfection, I love you.
00:55:26You may think you are too damaged and too broken to ever allow yourself to be happy,
00:55:31but you can choose differently, Simon.
00:55:35You can choose to love me as much as I love you.
00:55:40That should not be up to anyone else.
00:55:42That cannot be up to anyone else.
00:55:47It can only be up to...
00:56:14Mr. Finch has such a warm countenance, does he not?
00:56:17And his gaze, it inspires me.
00:56:20Oh, perhaps it might inspire you into silence.
00:56:22Prudence, be kind.
00:56:23We'll have plenty of opportunities to find your match this summer.
00:56:26I'm thinking a full renovation of our country house is in order, this.
00:56:34Where's Miss Thompson?
00:56:41Oh, my lady, there is news.
00:56:44Where is the butter?
00:56:45It is your husband, Mum.
00:56:50You are saying he is dead.
00:56:53The Bow Street Runners have questions.
00:57:28Oh, my lady, there is a lot of people who don't know what to do.
00:57:51I do not want to be alone.
00:57:53I know that now.
00:57:57But what I do not know is how to be the man you need me to be.
00:58:04The man you truly deserve.
00:58:08I do not know how to do this.
00:58:10Yes.
00:58:11You do.
00:58:12Daphne.
00:58:12I know you do.
00:58:16You stay.
00:58:19You stay and we get through this together.
00:58:25If you do this, if we do this, then...
00:58:29Then nothing else will matter.
00:58:32I do not know how to do this.
00:59:06You stay.
00:59:13I do not know how to do this.
00:59:16I don't know how to do this together.
00:59:24I do not know how to do this.
00:59:36I don't know.
01:00:00I don't know.
01:00:37I don't know.
01:00:53As many now leave the city behind for greener pastures, some endings seem more permanent than others.
01:01:15I am here, Ben, to help you to find a reason every day to enjoy the absence of your dear
01:01:23papa.
01:01:24I know.
01:01:25I know.
01:01:26I know you won't miss him.
01:01:27Share something good.
01:01:29What happened with Whistledown?
01:01:32Did you save Madame Delacroix?
01:01:36Indeed.
01:01:38And now she will be able to put right what she botched this season, I'm sure of it.
01:01:41Well, I'm sure with Whistledown still on the loose next season it will be far more interesting.
01:02:07How did you do it?
01:02:09How did you endure two and twenty years of marriage without love?
01:02:15You find things to love, my dear.
01:02:20Small things.
01:02:22Big things too, like your babies, and eventually they add up to be enough.
01:02:29You're strong, Miss Thompson.
01:02:33Perhaps even more so than me.
01:02:37You will do well.
01:03:07Of course, there are other endings that will offer new beginnings.
01:03:25Tell me you have a name.
01:03:26Oh, we located him up.
01:03:28The man who will inherit the Faber-Merton estate.
01:03:33Only, well, look.
01:03:41However uncertain those new beginnings might be.
01:03:47I shall write to you all, from Greece.
01:03:50Do not forget to bring me a gift.
01:03:51It is not a gift if you have to ask.
01:03:54I would fancy anything blue.
01:03:56Or white.
01:04:09Anthony, I do not recall seeing you last night.
01:04:13Yes, I was feeling rather unwell.
01:04:16My apologies, sister.
01:04:16Oh.
01:04:18The two of you are now after Cliveden, I presume?
01:04:20We have decided to stay in London a little longer.
01:04:23Take some time to enjoy ourselves.
01:04:25Just the two of us.
01:04:29And you?
01:04:30What are your plans, brother?
01:04:31Nothing of note.
01:04:32Other than finding and promptly declaring my intentions to my new Viscountess, of course.
01:04:37The Viscount is ready to find and declare his intentions.
01:04:41Did you hear that, Your Grace?
01:04:43And which young lady?
01:04:44Does it matter?
01:04:47I've finally determined the difficulty.
01:04:48Love itself.
01:04:51Removing it from more romantic relations will make me all the better for it.
01:04:53No more distractions from responsibility or being waylaid from the sensible path.
01:04:59At any rate, enjoy your time.
01:05:04Perhaps you alone?
01:05:06Perhaps not.
01:05:12Give my regards to Madame Delacroix.
01:05:14Well, your regards will have to wait.
01:05:16I'll see if she's making a short trip back to France.
01:05:18Oh.
01:05:19Are you going to say goodbye to her?
01:05:21I did last night, if you must know.
01:05:23We went to a party together.
01:05:25A very good party.
01:05:26You were with Madame Delacroix last night?
01:05:28Yes.
01:05:30No, please do not tell our sister that I left her in the middle of the ball, either.
01:05:36What is it?
01:05:38If you were with Madame Delacroix last night, then she is not then.
01:05:42She cannot be.
01:05:45And yet...
01:05:46Oh dear.
01:05:47There is no ending in sight for this author,
01:05:51who recently became aware of a scheme to unmask her.
01:05:55Lady Mishletown.
01:05:56Steppuschal is one of those, and of course,
01:05:59plays out for her.
01:06:00Go into the trap!
01:06:04By one worthy opponent, indeed.
01:06:09Maybe not.
01:06:10Perhaps I will come forward one day.
01:06:14Though you must know, dear reader.
01:06:17that decision shall be left entirely up to me, yours truly, Vady Quistendown.
01:06:41She'll need you to push, your grace.
01:06:50Push.
01:06:53Very well.
01:07:01Another. Push. Push.
01:07:04Push.
01:07:08Push.
01:07:10Push.
01:07:12Push.
01:07:22Push.
01:07:23Push.
01:07:26Push.
01:07:28Push.
01:07:31Push.
01:07:32Congratulations, your graces.
01:07:34A boy.
01:07:47Do you wish to hold it?
01:08:08You must think of the name.
01:08:11Whatever it is, I believe it must begin with the letter A.
01:08:19We do have fun traditions, do we not?
01:08:21We certainly do, Margaret.
01:08:23We do have fun traditions.
01:08:24What?
01:08:36What?
01:08:37What?
01:08:38What?
01:08:39What?
01:08:40What?
01:08:40What?
