00:00:01You
00:00:22Please there has been a misunderstanding the woman who had me arrested she did not pay me wage for seven
00:00:26years
00:00:26She's not to be trusted. I'm not the magistrate sweetheart
00:00:30Can you send word to someone for me, please?
00:00:33Alfie burrow he works under the new lady penwood at penwood house your working friend or
00:00:38Anyone who might speak on your behalf besides the fact that they are unlikely to be believed if the lady
00:00:43who sent me after you
00:00:44Has anything to do with it?
00:00:45She will make sure anyone who does speak for you faces personal ruin so I
00:00:51Can send for anyone you want
00:00:53But you'd better make sure you're well worth the trouble to them
00:00:58No, you're right
00:01:01Take the blanket
00:01:03If you are convicted
00:01:05It's life behind bars
00:01:08the best
00:01:22huh?
00:01:34Oh
00:01:35Dearest members of the top
00:01:37Her majesty the queen honors you with her generous invitation to attend the event of the season
00:01:46It shall be as all balls thrown by your queen are, the grandest night of the year.
00:01:57Full of spectacle, glamour, delights, that sort of thing.
00:02:05Your presence is requested, your style is required, your absence without reason will be noted.
00:02:12The season offers some hope, at least, with us in mourning.
00:02:17At least we will not be expected at the Queen's Fall.
00:02:23Apologies, I was simply trying to...
00:02:26Of course I am relieved.
00:02:28Avoiding events was one of my and John's most favourite shared activities.
00:02:35Oh yes, do note that this is an event in honour of Lady Agatha Danbury.
00:02:41She has chosen to depart from London to go elsewhere.
00:02:51Does it not seem as slight to Lady Danbury?
00:02:55This part of the text is so small, I can hardly read it.
00:03:01Now that the Queen does not have whistled down to antagonise, perhaps she has shifted her animosity.
00:03:08Do you know anything, Ray?
00:03:11About Lady Danbury and the Queen?
00:03:14I cannot say that I do.
00:03:17No.
00:03:19Of course you do not.
00:03:21Ugh.
00:03:26Ray is a good housekeeper.
00:03:27Just because you're Miss Varley does not mean you could speak to her.
00:03:29Miss Varley?
00:03:30Where would you get such a strange idea?
00:03:33Do not think of her.
00:03:40I have considered leaving every morning.
00:03:45Until this one.
00:03:46The dowager was rather pleasant on waking.
00:03:50That is because she had that former maid of hers apprehended last night, and at this very moment, I believe,
00:03:59Lord Stotter may be behind these doors, about to propose to Miss Lee.
00:04:07Yes!
00:04:08Yes!
00:04:09Yes!
00:04:09Yes!
00:04:10Yes!
00:04:10My wife to be, then.
00:04:12I shall see you soon.
00:04:13And with luck, every day after that.
00:04:20You have surely made the match of the season.
00:04:22Look at my ring.
00:04:23I'm gorgeous.
00:04:23Both of you must begin planning what you will wear to the Queen's Ball.
00:04:26Surely the perfect place to announce your betrothal.
00:04:30Where are you going, Mama?
00:04:31To the jail, naturally.
00:04:33Do you not know?
00:04:35I heard you were quite helpful in guiding Mama to say-
00:04:37Rosamond!
00:04:39Did you have Sophie arrested?
00:04:41A thief should not evade justice.
00:04:44Sophie is not a thief, Mama.
00:04:45She was never anything but good to us.
00:04:47I do not wish to hear from you on this matter any further.
00:04:49I shall return soon.
00:04:51You have done very well, Rosamond.
00:04:57Are you not going to congratulate me?
00:05:02Congratulations, sister.
00:05:08She is where?
00:05:09It is my fault.
00:05:10I thought her a thief and helped the Dowager Lady Penwood find her.
00:05:14But Miss Posey made it clear I was gravely mistaken.
00:05:18This Sophie worked in this house when it was under the Dowager's oversight, yes.
00:05:22But does she have any family?
00:05:24Less words, please.
00:05:26I know who we should speak to.
00:05:38Oh!
00:05:39Is that an automated roasting spit?
00:05:45These two have a most urgent matter to discuss with you.
00:05:50Perhaps you could let Hyacinth show you her ribbon collection.
00:05:53She has made quite a few additions lately.
00:05:55Oh, it is not so impressive.
00:05:56I am thinking I might delay going to Eton for some time to spend time with you, Frank.
00:06:00No, please do not do that.
00:06:02I am so grateful to all of you for your support and attention, but...
00:06:06I believe that your sister would like us all to act normally, if only for her time.
00:06:10Yes.
00:06:13Perhaps we could talk about someone else instead.
00:06:16How are you, Mother?
00:06:18Oh.
00:06:18How is your friend, Lord Anderson?
00:06:20Lord Anderson?
00:06:21Well, he...
00:06:22Well...
00:06:23Mother!
00:06:23I need to speak to you about Sophie.
00:06:25Oh.
00:06:27Uh...
00:06:28Forgive me for interrupting.
00:06:30Francesca, um...
00:06:31Um, impressive or not, I should like to see that ribbon collection.
00:06:35Come along.
00:06:36You as well, Gregory.
00:06:38Did you ask her?
00:06:39Ask her what?
00:06:40Well, ask who?
00:06:40No.
00:06:41She had gone before I could find her.
00:06:42Do you know where she is going?
00:06:44Excuse me, my lady.
00:06:45Sorry, who are we speaking of?
00:06:45Sophie.
00:06:46She has gone to the Americas.
00:06:47I tried to catch her ship, but there were two leaving at once and I could not find her in
00:06:50the crowd.
00:06:51You chased Sophie to the docks?
00:06:52What is going on, exactly?
00:06:53Your brother is in love with your lady's maid, only she has left us in the middle of the night
00:06:57without saying goodbye.
00:06:58Mom.
00:06:58I am sorry.
00:06:59What?
00:07:00Please do not write about this.
00:07:00I am no longer Lady Whistledown.
00:07:02I cannot lose her to the Americas.
00:07:03I need to know how one might shutter a boat.
00:07:05If she just left this morning, there may yet be time.
00:07:06It will be alright.
00:07:09Will you all be quiet a moment?
00:07:13Please.
00:07:14Hazel has something to tell you.
00:07:16I am so sorry to interrupt, but I have good news and bad news.
00:07:21The good news being, Mr. Bridgerton will not be needing a boat.
00:07:29Someone is here to see you.
00:07:39Hello, Sophie.
00:07:40How rude.
00:07:42You should be grateful the lady has even come to such an undesirable place.
00:07:46Especially as I have come to help you.
00:07:48Help me?
00:07:48Yes.
00:07:49I want to be generous.
00:07:50You could avoid a trial.
00:07:52Your public humiliation.
00:07:54Any possible damage to the Bridgerton household for harboring you.
00:07:58How?
00:07:59A confession.
00:08:01Of course.
00:08:02It would make all this far easier if you admit you impersonated someone you are not.
00:08:07That you stole from me.
00:08:08I did not.
00:08:09You did.
00:08:12You have stolen everything from me.
00:08:16And I will not give you what is left by confessing to make your life easier.
00:08:21You have always made poor choices.
00:08:25At least now, you shall get what you deserve.
00:08:29Guard!
00:08:30I am finished here.
00:08:32This will not go well for you.
00:08:38Without any witness to speak on your behalf, and based on the sworn testimony of the dowager
00:08:44lady Penwood-
00:08:44Sir, please, sir-
00:08:45Miss Beck, I must remind you that you are not to speak.
00:08:49At this time, I have no choice but to sentence you-
00:08:52Sir!
00:08:52I must ask you to release this woman at once.
00:08:54What is the meaning of this?
00:08:55Who, sir, are you?
00:08:58Benedict Bridgerton.
00:08:59Son to the late Viscount Edmund Bridgerton, and brother to the Viscount Anthony Bridgerton.
00:09:02And brother to the Duke of Hastings.
00:09:05Mr. Bridgerton is a second son.
00:09:07The girl is accused of stealing from a county.
00:09:09You besmirched my honor over a pair of shoe clips.
00:09:12They must have been tremendously valuable.
00:09:14Sir, Miss Peck has been in my employ for months now, and we can attest, based on her character,
00:09:18that these charges are certain to be unfounded.
00:09:21They are certainly not!
00:09:22Do you have any proof?
00:09:23Please!
00:09:24I urge you all to maintain decorum and act in accordance with your rank and dignity.
00:09:30Lady Penwood, if this family were willing to pay you the cost of your shoe clips,
00:09:34would you retract your accusations against Miss Peck?
00:09:37Yes, we are happy to pay.
00:09:39That will be insufficient, as she also stands accused of impersonating a lady.
00:09:44A lady in a silver dress at the very masquerade ball held by the dowager Lady Bridgerton.
00:09:49I will have justice!
00:09:50Then we shall need time to mount a defense for Miss Peck!
00:09:52What kind of defense can there possibly be, except that she has clearly clouded Mr. Bridgerton's judgment by seducing it!
00:09:57I did no such thing!
00:09:58How dare you imply that my son is...
00:10:00Order!
00:10:01I will have order!
00:10:03Magistrate Burton, we will provide Miss Peck with a barrister.
00:10:06Until then, I wonder if you would be so kind as to save me from distress.
00:10:09She is a lady's maid in my employ, and I cannot manage without her services.
00:10:13I must beg for your aid.
00:10:15Might you release her into my custody until things are set to rights?
00:10:21We would be so grateful that you indulge my poor mother.
00:10:26I will release Miss Peck on bail, on condition that she remain in the Bridgerton household.
00:10:32And you will guarantee she does not leave such household.
00:10:36But might I suggest, talk with one another.
00:10:40Unless you are able to reach an agreement amongst yourselves,
00:10:43we will meet again in a week's time to determine Miss Peck's fate.
00:10:53There is to be no agreement. She is going to prison.
00:10:56Oh, we shall see about that.
00:10:58What do you think the Queen will say when she finds out you are harbouring a criminal?
00:11:02One you allowed to step outside her station and seduce your son?
00:11:06Do you think she will allow you to remain in society?
00:11:10Shall we find out?
00:11:32I cannot thank both of you enough. I am grateful, but you should not have gone to the trouble.
00:11:36I will not hear of it. Why did you not send word to us? Would the constable not let you?
00:11:41No, I thought perhaps I had done enough to push you all the way.
00:11:46Escaping in the night as I did, I did not wish to burden you any further.
00:11:48Well, it is a good thing we were alert.
00:11:50You have a great many people who care for you, Sophie. I hope you see that.
00:11:55Our trials are not over, though.
00:11:57If the dowager Lady Penwood does not win her case in court, she may try to win it in public.
00:12:00And if the Queen finds out about your... attachment, well, could create a scandal so large that even your leaving
00:12:07for the country would hardly dampen the effects you might have on your younger siblings' prospects.
00:12:10There is no easy solution to that.
00:12:13I am glad you are here.
00:12:15Safely with us, Sophie.
00:12:17Welcome home.
00:12:21Your room is all made up and ready, but do let us know if there's anything we have forgotten.
00:12:26I do not understand. My room is upstairs in the servants' quarters.
00:12:28Not anymore.
00:12:30Lady Bridgerton has informed us that you are to be our guest until all this with a trial blows over.
00:12:36Or until you formalise your attachment with Mr. Bridgerton.
00:12:40Why did you not say?
00:12:41They have no attachment, Hazel.
00:12:45Though Lady Bridgerton has made it clear that her son is not to cross this hall to your room for
00:12:50any reason, or you to his.
00:12:52Of course.
00:12:53I have eyes everywhere.
00:12:59Come along, Hazel.
00:13:18How long have you known?
00:13:20I found your necklace in my bedroom last night.
00:13:23The lady in silver, she wore this very same pendant.
00:13:27I never wished to lie to you. I only...
00:13:31I could not stand to think of your disappointment upon learning that the woman you searched for all that time
00:13:36would turn out not to be an enchanting young lady, but...
00:13:40Me.
00:13:41The very last thing I feel knowing it was you is disappointment.
00:13:46I spent so much of my life feeling alone in a crowded room.
00:13:52I fell for you at the masquerade because...
00:13:56You saw me?
00:13:59Just me.
00:14:02What kind of a man would I be if I only ever saw you as the lady in silver?
00:14:06And yet, all this time, you did not believe that I could handle the truth.
00:14:13Perhaps because your love for me is not what I thought it was.
00:14:25Benedict.
00:14:28Forgive me.
00:14:29Mrs. Wilson has sent me to keep watch and ensure that both of you keep to your separate rooms.
00:14:35I could use a lie down.
00:14:44We should hope at the very least to keep Sophie out of prison.
00:14:48I hesitate to ask something of you so close to your departure, but in a perfect world?
00:14:54Well, the Queen's blessing of their union might protect us all from a scandal.
00:14:58It is quite the fantastical tale.
00:15:02The maid, the gentleman, in love.
00:15:05And Babs, too fantastical for Her Majesty to accept.
00:15:08The Queen has waged a great deal on Benedict's getting married this season.
00:15:15It is unlikely.
00:15:16But I am happy to try.
00:15:18Also, I believe her father to be of nobility.
00:15:21But does that help our case at all?
00:15:24Not if the mother was a maid.
00:15:26Even if Sophie had not been relegated to the position of maid herself,
00:15:30the ton would never accept a gentleman marrying a girl of illegitimate origins.
00:15:36And I am afraid the best they can hope for is to slip quietly away to the countryside together.
00:15:46I can delay my trip.
00:15:48Stay.
00:15:49Make sure that if any scandal erupts that I am here.
00:15:52Agatha.
00:15:52No.
00:15:54No.
00:15:54It is your time.
00:15:55I appreciate you trying with the Queen, but no.
00:15:59No.
00:15:59You must go.
00:16:00Violet Bridgerton.
00:16:06I will miss you.
00:16:08I will miss you too.
00:16:09I will miss you too.
00:16:11Very much.
00:16:22May I help you, Miss Beck?
00:16:24Sophie will do, John.
00:16:27Did anyone call for me?
00:16:30No.
00:16:31I do not believe so.
00:16:44You look handsome tonight, John.
00:16:48Are you being quite serious?
00:16:50Of course I am.
00:16:52Because I have not been certain if you are interested.
00:16:56You do have something of a reputation.
00:16:59That was all before I met you.
00:17:06I thought perhaps...
00:17:07I have been trying to figure out how to sneak into yours as well.
00:17:14I was furious when you did not recognize me.
00:17:16I know.
00:17:19I am sorry.
00:17:20I was furious at first.
00:17:22But then I realized it does not matter, Benedict.
00:17:24You have shown me a tremendous amount of love.
00:17:27More than I have felt in a very long time.
00:17:29And my inability to believe in it.
00:17:33The only other person in my life I was sure loved me was my father.
00:17:36He was the 6th Earl of Penwood.
00:17:39Richard Gunn.
00:17:40He promised he would always take care of me.
00:17:42And I trusted that.
00:17:44I trusted his love.
00:17:46But after his death it became clear that I had been mistaken in both cases.
00:17:50Is it because of him you became a maid?
00:17:54He provided nothing for me in his will.
00:17:57Araminta made that very clear.
00:17:59Did you see this will for yourself?
00:18:02No, I did not wish to be further crushed.
00:18:08Sophie.
00:18:10It is clear that woman despises you.
00:18:14From the very day she met me.
00:18:16What reason would you have to believe her about your father?
00:18:22I...
00:18:25I do not know.
00:18:28I simply believed her.
00:18:32Believed that my father would have forgotten me.
00:18:37Believed that the love I felt in my head was made up from the beginning.
00:18:40Believed that I should not expect you to recognize me or love me or commit to me.
00:18:45Sophie.
00:18:47Of course I love you.
00:18:51Do you believe me now?
00:18:54I did not help. I should never have asked you to be my mistress.
00:18:57I am forever sorry.
00:18:59Last night I came back here for a reason.
00:19:01To ask you the question I should have asked you all along.
00:19:04You do not.
00:19:06Not now.
00:19:07I have my family's blessing, Sophie.
00:19:12Not with the trial hanging over us.
00:19:15Your family's reputation at stake. Let us wait.
00:19:21I love you.
00:19:24I love you, Benedict.
00:19:58I love you.
00:19:58Will you join me.
00:19:59Here we go.
00:20:29Here we go.
00:21:07Here we go.
00:21:10Here we go.
00:21:12Here we go.

00:27:07Here we go.
00:27:08Here we go.
00:27:10Here we go.
00:27:12Here we go.
00:27:14the color pink? I know why you are truly here.
00:27:20You have finally succumbed to the mania.
00:27:24The marriage mania.
00:27:26It's clear you are at last imagining
00:27:28what it would be like to have a husband one day.
00:27:31And you wish to know what it is like.
00:27:32Oh.
00:27:34Yes.
00:27:35I am quite overcome with
00:27:38the madness.
00:27:40It was difficult last season
00:27:42not having a shared dream for the future
00:27:44between us. I do understand
00:27:46your view of things. How marriage steals
00:27:48independence and liberty. Mary Wollstonecraft
00:27:50and all that. You read Mary Wollstonecraft?
00:27:52You would not stop talking about her last
00:27:54season. And
00:27:56what else was I supposed to do in Wales?
00:27:59She has some good ideas.
00:28:01The truth is
00:28:01she does not sufficiently value
00:28:03love. It has the power to change
00:28:06one's life, Eloise.
00:28:09Yes.
00:28:11I am starting to see that.
00:28:22well done.
00:28:27This is the one.
00:28:37Richard Gunn.
00:28:38The sixth thirl of Penwood.
00:28:42He bequeaths an additional
00:28:44four thousand pounds to Araminta
00:28:46for every year she houses me.
00:28:47Oh my goodness.
00:28:48That's why she kept you home.
00:28:50She was profiting off you.
00:28:54So, then.
00:28:56What is it?
00:29:01I can see that marriage
00:29:02has been of great benefit to you.
00:29:04At the very least, it has had the power
00:29:06to give me the drawing room of my dreams.
00:29:09It is quite an improvement
00:29:10on Cowper House, is it not?
00:29:13You never belonged in that house.
00:29:15Or with your parents.
00:29:18I should like to apologise.
00:29:20All that business with you nearly
00:29:21having to marry a man
00:29:22three times your age last season.
00:29:25I was far too
00:29:27self-interested, really,
00:29:29to appreciate how difficult
00:29:31that must have been.
00:29:32And how much your success
00:29:33on the marriage mark
00:29:34mattered to you.
00:29:39And all is well.
00:29:41Everything has worked out
00:29:42exactly as it should.
00:29:47It has indeed.
00:29:51After all that,
00:29:53the shoe clips
00:29:54turned out
00:29:55to be
00:29:56fake.
00:29:58Is this what passes
00:30:00for gossip these days?
00:30:01I do not care about
00:30:03shoe clips
00:30:03or maids.
00:30:05No matter what I may think
00:30:07of the dowager
00:30:07Lady Penwood,
00:30:09if the magistrate
00:30:10sees fit to charge
00:30:11the girl,
00:30:12so be it.
00:30:14The dowager
00:30:17also means
00:30:18to impress
00:30:19upon your majesty
00:30:20that this maid
00:30:21seduced
00:30:22a gentleman.
00:30:25Benedict
00:30:26Bridgerton.
00:30:28The most eligible
00:30:30suitor of the season.
00:30:32Seduced
00:30:33by a maid?
00:30:36Is it true?
00:30:37No,
00:30:38it is not true.
00:30:40She did not have
00:30:41to seduce him
00:30:42because he
00:30:44loves her.
00:30:46Against all reason
00:30:46and expectation,
00:30:48they have formed
00:30:49an attachment.
00:30:51She saved his life
00:30:52in the countryside
00:30:53and he fell for her
00:30:54as she nursed him
00:30:55back to health.
00:30:56A man
00:30:56once thought
00:30:57never able to commit,
00:30:59moved by the simple
00:31:00grace and beauty
00:31:01of a girl
00:31:02of humble origins.
00:31:04Your majesty,
00:31:06you were right
00:31:06all along.
00:31:08Benedict
00:31:08Bridgerton
00:31:09is ready
00:31:11for marriage
00:31:12after all.
00:31:14It is unfortunate.
00:31:16I was right
00:31:17all along,
00:31:17casting my wager.
00:31:19but I will lose
00:31:21still.
00:31:22Your majesty,
00:31:23Benedict
00:31:23Bridgerton
00:31:24cannot marry
00:31:25a maid,
00:31:26can he?
00:31:27I had hoped
00:31:28we could make
00:31:28one last great
00:31:30match together,
00:31:31Lady Danbury.
00:31:32It is a shame
00:31:33for us to go out
00:31:34on a loss.
00:31:35Tell me,
00:31:36Brinsley,
00:31:37how is the ball
00:31:37coming along?
00:31:39Extremely well,
00:31:40your majesty.
00:31:46What do you know
00:31:47about what is
00:31:47going on
00:31:48with Benedict
00:31:48Bridgerton?
00:31:50You've been
00:31:50spending a great
00:31:51deal of time
00:31:51together this
00:31:52season.
00:31:52What do you
00:31:53know?
00:31:54You know
00:31:54something.
00:31:55You have been
00:31:56withholding from
00:31:57me.
00:31:57If you know
00:31:57I've been
00:31:58withholding something,
00:31:59then you have
00:32:00been withholding
00:32:00something as
00:32:01well.
00:32:05All I know,
00:32:06there is a
00:32:06lower-class girl,
00:32:07someone he knows
00:32:07he should not
00:32:07be with.
00:32:08It is a maid
00:32:09at Bridgerton
00:32:09House.
00:32:10I overheard
00:32:11them.
00:32:11They are in
00:32:11love,
00:32:12and the Dowager
00:32:12Lady Penwood
00:32:13is trying
00:32:13to send her
00:32:14to prison.
00:32:16This morning,
00:32:17I spent
00:32:18four hours
00:32:19helping the
00:32:20Queen decide
00:32:20on florals
00:32:21for her ball.
00:32:23Yesterday,
00:32:24there was a
00:32:24debate over
00:32:25whether the
00:32:25Pomeranian
00:32:26should be
00:32:26shaved to
00:32:27resemble lions.
00:32:28The day
00:32:28before that...
00:32:29Alice,
00:32:31we can move
00:32:32to the country
00:32:32if you're
00:32:33unhappy with
00:32:33your position.
00:32:34No,
00:32:34no,
00:32:35we cannot.
00:32:36One does not
00:32:36simply walk
00:32:37away from
00:32:37the Queen.
00:32:38And I do
00:32:39not wish
00:32:39to,
00:32:40but I wish
00:32:40to do
00:32:40something
00:32:40of meaning,
00:32:41Will.
00:32:42Lady Danbury
00:32:42helped the
00:32:43Queen reshape
00:32:43our society.
00:32:44I am decorating.
00:32:47I'm not even
00:32:48decorating,
00:32:49I am saying
00:32:50yes or no
00:32:51while the servants
00:32:51decorate.
00:32:52You and I,
00:32:53we were given
00:32:54this life out
00:32:55of thin air,
00:32:57and it has
00:32:57been wonderful.
00:32:59And we are
00:33:00enjoying ourselves
00:33:01at last,
00:33:01but I should
00:33:02like to help
00:33:02others enjoy
00:33:03it as well.
00:33:04If I involve
00:33:05myself in
00:33:06trying to
00:33:06help this maid,
00:33:07either it will
00:33:08finally earn me
00:33:09the Queen's
00:33:09close confidence,
00:33:11or it will
00:33:11ruin this family.
00:33:12I should like
00:33:13to do it
00:33:13either way.
00:33:15You have
00:33:16my full
00:33:17support,
00:33:17then.
00:33:23She hasn't
00:33:23been gone
00:33:24that long,
00:33:24I don't think.
00:33:28Oh,
00:33:29Mrs.
00:33:29Good day.
00:33:30Alice,
00:33:31unfortunately
00:33:31now is not
00:33:32an ideal time.
00:33:32Yes,
00:33:33I know.
00:33:33Lady Danbury
00:33:34had little
00:33:34success with
00:33:35the Queen,
00:33:35but I have
00:33:36an idea
00:33:37for another
00:33:37approach.
00:33:48My mother
00:33:48and I
00:33:49have been
00:33:49so worried
00:33:49for you.
00:33:50Forgive me,
00:33:51the new
00:33:51Lady Penwood
00:33:51insisted on
00:33:52Miss Bridget
00:33:53and staying
00:33:53for tea.
00:33:54How did
00:33:54it go?
00:33:56I saw
00:33:57my father's
00:33:57will.
00:33:59What is
00:33:59it?
00:34:00My father.
00:34:03He kept
00:34:04his promise.
00:34:06I was
00:34:06he,
00:34:07Rosamund,
00:34:07myself.
00:34:10He left
00:34:10us each
00:34:11an equal
00:34:11portion dowry.
00:34:14He loved
00:34:14me.
00:34:19Of course
00:34:20he did.
00:34:21How could
00:34:22anyone not?
00:34:26You
00:34:27were not
00:34:27going to
00:34:27prison.
00:34:29the dowager
00:34:29Lady Penwood
00:34:30stole your
00:34:31dowry.
00:34:31That makes
00:34:31her a liar
00:34:32and a thief.
00:34:33She has not
00:34:34already spent
00:34:34at all.
00:34:35I have
00:34:35a dowry.
00:34:37It still
00:34:37does not
00:34:38make me
00:34:38legitimate
00:34:39or inappropriate
00:34:39match for a
00:34:40gentleman.
00:34:40I do not
00:34:41care about
00:34:41the money
00:34:41and I do
00:34:42not care
00:34:42about whether
00:34:43you are
00:34:43appropriate
00:34:43or not.
00:34:45Mrs. Mondrich
00:34:45came to call.
00:34:46She is one
00:34:47of the Queen's
00:34:48ladies-in-waiting.
00:34:50she has a
00:34:51plan to
00:34:51help us.
00:34:52What is
00:34:53it?
00:34:54We will
00:34:54have to
00:34:55find you
00:34:55a dress
00:34:56because you
00:34:57are going
00:34:57to the
00:34:57Queen's
00:34:58Ball
00:34:58tomorrow.
00:35:07It is a
00:35:08game for
00:35:08two.
00:35:10Forgive
00:35:10me.
00:35:12It is
00:35:12my family.
00:35:13There is
00:35:14a scandal
00:35:15brewing.
00:35:16A scandal?
00:35:18Do you
00:35:19tell?
00:35:23Benedict,
00:35:24my brother,
00:35:26is in
00:35:27love with
00:35:27a maid.
00:35:28My family,
00:35:29we are all
00:35:30supporting
00:35:30them.
00:35:32But
00:35:32everyone else
00:35:33in the
00:35:33town will
00:35:33surely be
00:35:34up in
00:35:34arms if
00:35:34they find
00:35:35out.
00:35:35Which,
00:35:36I confess,
00:35:36does feel
00:35:37rather trivial
00:35:37compared
00:35:38to...
00:35:46now is
00:35:47when you
00:35:47choose to
00:35:47hold your
00:35:47tongue?
00:35:50I am
00:35:50only
00:35:51surprised.
00:35:52Your
00:35:53family is
00:35:53surprising.
00:35:56I would
00:35:57not blame
00:35:57you for
00:35:58distancing
00:35:58yourself
00:35:58from us.
00:35:59From me.
00:36:00No,
00:36:01I meant
00:36:01surprising
00:36:02in a good
00:36:02way.
00:36:04Love does
00:36:04not always
00:36:05look how
00:36:05one expects,
00:36:06I imagine.
00:36:07I am not
00:36:08one to judge
00:36:08the happiness
00:36:09of others.
00:36:12I am
00:36:13relieved
00:36:14to hear
00:36:14you say
00:36:15so.
00:36:18I had
00:36:19hoped,
00:36:19if you
00:36:20were not
00:36:21concerned
00:36:21by our
00:36:21continued
00:36:22association,
00:36:23that you
00:36:24might
00:36:25consider
00:36:25staying
00:36:26here in
00:36:26London
00:36:26until a
00:36:27new heir
00:36:27is found.
00:36:28I am
00:36:29here.
00:36:29I know.
00:36:31But I
00:36:31suppose I
00:36:32am feeling
00:36:34a suspense
00:36:35about when
00:36:37you might
00:36:37leave again,
00:36:37as you so
00:36:38rarely stay
00:36:38in one place
00:36:39for long.
00:36:39You are
00:36:40the only
00:36:40other
00:36:40person
00:36:41who
00:36:41truly
00:36:41understands.
00:36:45If you
00:36:46would like
00:36:46it,
00:36:46I shall
00:36:47stay.
00:36:49It would
00:36:49mean a
00:36:49great deal
00:36:50to me.
00:36:52I feel
00:36:53very close
00:36:53to you,
00:36:54Michaela.
00:36:56As do
00:36:57I.
00:37:14Look what one
00:37:14of the maids
00:37:15helped me
00:37:15rescue from
00:37:16the bin.
00:37:17Slightly
00:37:17rumpled,
00:37:18but I think
00:37:18it gives it
00:37:19character,
00:37:19no?
00:37:22You need not
00:37:22to have
00:37:22bothered.
00:37:24Yeah.
00:37:25I take it
00:37:26you are still
00:37:26planning not
00:37:27to debut.
00:37:32I must
00:37:33say,
00:37:33I think
00:37:34that would
00:37:34be a mistake.
00:37:36You cannot
00:37:36be serious.
00:37:39After you
00:37:39incessantly
00:37:40mocked my
00:37:40lessons...
00:37:41In my
00:37:41defence,
00:37:43they were
00:37:43extremely
00:37:44mockable.
00:37:45I thought
00:37:45you would
00:37:45be thrilled.
00:37:48Now you
00:37:48will not
00:37:49grow old
00:37:49alone.
00:37:50We can
00:37:50be
00:37:50spinsters
00:37:51together.
00:37:57As
00:37:58wonderful
00:37:58as that
00:37:58sounds,
00:37:59I know
00:37:59it's not
00:38:00genuinely
00:38:00what you
00:38:01want.
00:38:04It is
00:38:04alright to
00:38:05be frightened.
00:38:06What
00:38:07happened to
00:38:07John,
00:38:07it is
00:38:08beyond
00:38:08awful.
00:38:09It
00:38:09frightens
00:38:10me too
00:38:10more than
00:38:10I care
00:38:10to admit.
00:38:12Some
00:38:12things are
00:38:12out of
00:38:13our
00:38:13control.
00:38:14What
00:38:14is in
00:38:14our
00:38:14control
00:38:15is our
00:38:15ability
00:38:16to
00:38:16support
00:38:16one
00:38:16another
00:38:17and
00:38:17ensure
00:38:18that
00:38:18we
00:38:18do
00:38:18not
00:38:18allow
00:38:19fear
00:38:19to
00:38:20keep
00:38:20us
00:38:20from
00:38:20experiencing
00:38:21something
00:38:21that
00:38:21could
00:38:21be
00:38:22truly
00:38:22special.
00:38:23Now you
00:38:23are a
00:38:23proponent
00:38:24of
00:38:24marriage.
00:38:25Proponent
00:38:25is far
00:38:25too
00:38:25strong a
00:38:26word.
00:38:27But after
00:38:27spending
00:38:28a season
00:38:28by your
00:38:29side,
00:38:29I can
00:38:30see
00:38:30that
00:38:30on
00:38:31occasion
00:38:31marriage
00:38:32might
00:38:32have
00:38:32its
00:38:32advantages.
00:38:34Companionship,
00:38:35family,
00:38:37a prime
00:38:37seated
00:38:38soiree.
00:38:39And
00:38:39then,
00:38:40if not
00:38:40for mother
00:38:41and father's
00:38:41marriage,
00:38:43we
00:38:43would not
00:38:43all
00:38:43have
00:38:44each
00:38:46that large
00:38:46reward.
00:38:48Most of
00:38:49the time
00:38:49anyway.
00:38:53Suppose
00:38:54your points
00:38:54have some
00:38:55merit.
00:38:56Though
00:38:57if
00:38:57I am
00:38:58to one
00:38:59day find
00:38:59the right
00:38:59husband,
00:39:01I think
00:39:01I should
00:39:02like to
00:39:02get to
00:39:02know
00:39:02myself
00:39:02better
00:39:03first.
00:39:06An
00:39:06excellent
00:39:07plan.
00:39:27The season
00:39:28will not
00:39:28be the
00:39:29same
00:39:29without
00:39:29you,
00:39:30Lady
00:39:30Dunn.
00:39:30Well,
00:39:31I have
00:39:31no doubt
00:39:31you will
00:39:32still find
00:39:33ways of
00:39:34enjoying
00:39:35yourselves.
00:39:36You will
00:39:37be missed
00:39:37greatly
00:39:38by the
00:39:39queen,
00:39:39most of
00:39:40all.
00:39:47well,
00:39:49he's
00:39:50to
00:39:50us.
00:39:59Tonight
00:39:59is our
00:40:00night,
00:40:00Rosamond.
00:40:01Let us
00:40:02greet Lord
00:40:02Stotter,
00:40:03and then we
00:40:04shall speak
00:40:04to the
00:40:04queen
00:40:05and settle
00:40:05the matter
00:40:06of Sophie.
00:40:11We can
00:40:12do this.
00:40:13We can
00:40:13do this.
00:40:15Are we
00:40:15certain we
00:40:16can do
00:40:16this?
00:40:17Would it
00:40:17not be
00:40:17better to
00:40:18wait until
00:40:18we see
00:40:18the
00:40:19magistrate?
00:40:19We'll
00:40:19be too
00:40:20late
00:40:20by then
00:40:20if the
00:40:20dowager
00:40:21gets
00:40:21to
00:40:21the
00:40:21queen
00:40:21tonight.
00:40:22Mrs.
00:40:22Mondridge
00:40:23will
00:40:23arrange
00:40:23everything.
00:40:26You
00:40:27will
00:40:27just
00:40:27have
00:40:27to
00:40:27tuck
00:40:27in
00:40:28clothes
00:40:28as
00:40:28we
00:40:28sneak
00:40:28you
00:40:28in.
00:40:30Hopefully
00:40:31last
00:40:31time.
00:40:35Your
00:40:35party.
00:40:36Violet
00:40:37Bridgerton,
00:40:37the
00:40:38dowager
00:40:38lady
00:40:39Bridgerton.
00:40:40Plus
00:40:40plus
00:40:41three.
00:40:42Something
00:40:42like that.
00:40:43Yes,
00:40:43so many
00:40:43children.
00:40:47Bridgertons,
00:40:48come with
00:40:49me.
00:40:56Wait,
00:40:56what are we
00:40:57meant to
00:40:57do now
00:40:57then?
00:40:58Well,
00:40:58it's strange
00:40:59not to be
00:40:59at the
00:40:59very center
00:41:00of scandal
00:41:00for once.
00:41:01Let us
00:41:02enjoy it
00:41:02then.
00:41:04May I
00:41:05have this
00:41:05dance?
00:41:16Miss
00:41:16Posey.
00:41:19Miss
00:41:19Bridgerton.
00:41:21Oh, no.
00:41:23I am, I do
00:41:24not know if you
00:41:25know, but I was
00:41:25not part of it.
00:41:26No, I assumed
00:41:27not.
00:41:27I was simply
00:41:28greeting you.
00:41:29Though perhaps
00:41:30I should not.
00:41:30Your mother
00:41:31may disapprove.
00:41:36But do not
00:41:36let her dictate
00:41:37what you do.
00:41:38A friend of
00:41:39mine has a
00:41:39mother not
00:41:39too dissimilar
00:41:40to yours,
00:41:41and that
00:41:41friend has
00:41:41done very
00:41:42well for
00:41:42herself now.
00:41:43truly.
00:41:51You have
00:41:51the interest
00:41:52of Lord
00:41:52Barnaby.
00:41:54He does
00:41:55ask me to
00:41:56dance from
00:41:56time to
00:41:57time, but
00:41:58my mother's
00:41:59efforts are
00:41:59concentrated on
00:42:00my sister this
00:42:01season.
00:42:04Oh, I
00:42:06should not
00:42:06let her dictate
00:42:08the matters of
00:42:09my heart like
00:42:09that.
00:42:10Lord Barnaby
00:42:11is most
00:42:11eligible.
00:42:13and your
00:42:13mother and
00:42:14sister are
00:42:14occupied.
00:42:20Very well.
00:42:31Miss Posey,
00:42:33will you at
00:42:34last accept
00:42:34my offer of
00:42:35a dance?
00:42:43Lady Penwood,
00:42:44you are being
00:42:45summoned.
00:42:46Am I being
00:42:47summoned by
00:42:48the Queen?
00:42:50It was easier
00:42:51than I thought.
00:42:57Come along,
00:42:58Posey.
00:42:59Now.
00:43:02Excuse me.
00:43:12what is this?
00:43:13I thought the
00:43:14Queen was to
00:43:15join us.
00:43:15I believe you
00:43:16will be glad she
00:43:17is elsewhere for
00:43:18the moment.
00:43:19Sophie?
00:43:20Ma, what is she
00:43:21doing here?
00:43:23Seven years.
00:43:26Seven long
00:43:27years I spent
00:43:28serving you in
00:43:28my own home.
00:43:29I asked you the
00:43:30day you kicked
00:43:30me out why
00:43:31you kept
00:43:31me so long
00:43:32and I know
00:43:32now it was
00:43:33never out of
00:43:33any goodness
00:43:35but only because
00:43:35my father promised
00:43:36you an extra
00:43:37stipend for every
00:43:38year you kept
00:43:38me on but
00:43:39you were never
00:43:40meant to keep
00:43:40me on as a
00:43:41maid.
00:43:41How did you
00:43:42know that?
00:43:42I saw the
00:43:43will and I
00:43:44also saw that
00:43:45my father
00:43:45left me a
00:43:46dowry.
00:43:46Mother.
00:43:47Quiet, Posey.
00:43:47Three equal
00:43:48parts.
00:43:49One for
00:43:49Rosamond,
00:43:50one for
00:43:51Posey and
00:43:52one for
00:43:52myself.
00:43:53Yet I
00:43:54venture to
00:43:54guess that
00:43:54what you
00:43:55have promised
00:43:55Lord Stutter is
00:43:56double what
00:43:56you have told
00:43:57Posey she is
00:43:57to receive.
00:43:58Doubled by
00:43:59the embezzlement
00:44:00of my portion.
00:44:01This is
00:44:01preposterous.
00:44:02How dare you
00:44:03accuse my
00:44:03mother of
00:44:04such a thing?
00:44:05Eighteen
00:44:05thousand pounds.
00:44:10What is
00:44:10yours?
00:44:14Did you not
00:44:15believe my
00:44:15beauty and
00:44:15charm were
00:44:16enough on
00:44:16their own
00:44:16to make
00:44:17a match?
00:44:19You
00:44:19believed I
00:44:20needed
00:44:20thirty-six
00:44:20thousand pounds?
00:44:21This is all
00:44:22beside the
00:44:22point.
00:44:23She stole
00:44:23from me.
00:44:24I was
00:44:24the one
00:44:24who stole
00:44:24the shoe
00:44:25clips,
00:44:25Mama.
00:44:29It is not
00:44:30about the
00:44:31shoe clips.
00:44:33The money
00:44:33for your
00:44:34dowry.
00:44:35It was
00:44:35our money.
00:44:36It should
00:44:36have been
00:44:36our money.
00:44:37But you
00:44:37stole it
00:44:38from us.
00:44:39You stole
00:44:39him from
00:44:41us.
00:44:42My girls
00:44:43needed a
00:44:43father.
00:44:44They needed
00:44:44his love.
00:44:46I needed
00:44:47his love.
00:44:48But instead
00:44:49you were
00:44:50there.
00:44:52Araminta,
00:44:53he loved
00:44:53you too.
00:44:54I saw it.
00:44:56And you
00:44:56have the
00:44:56love of
00:44:57your
00:44:57daughters.
00:44:58Both of
00:44:58them.
00:44:59Do not
00:44:59take it
00:45:00for granted.
00:45:01Trust me,
00:45:01it serves
00:45:02no one.
00:45:04Richard was
00:45:04a good
00:45:05man.
00:45:06But he
00:45:07lived in
00:45:07a dream
00:45:07world.
00:45:08He thrust
00:45:09his greatest
00:45:09mistake upon
00:45:10me with
00:45:10no notice
00:45:11or warning
00:45:11and left
00:45:11me to
00:45:12face the
00:45:12consequences
00:45:13of harbouring
00:45:13an illegitimate
00:45:14child.
00:45:15I have
00:45:15done
00:45:15nothing but
00:45:16try to
00:45:16protect
00:45:17both of
00:45:17my
00:45:17girls.
00:45:18Mama,
00:45:19we've
00:45:20never been
00:45:20in jeopardy
00:45:20because of
00:45:21Sophie.
00:45:24I
00:45:25and I
00:45:26am tired
00:45:26of talking
00:45:27about her.
00:45:31It's still
00:45:32the matter
00:45:32of you
00:45:32impersonating
00:45:33her ability.
00:45:33Oh,
00:45:34that I
00:45:34think we
00:45:34can settle
00:45:35ourselves.
00:45:36As you
00:45:37have committed
00:45:37a far
00:45:38greater crime,
00:45:39embezzlement
00:45:40of a dowry,
00:45:41dishonouring the
00:45:41late Earl's
00:45:42will and
00:45:42estate.
00:45:44I will
00:45:44not go
00:45:45to prison.
00:45:48If you
00:45:49ruin me,
00:45:50I will ruin
00:45:51her.
00:45:51And vice
00:45:52versa.
00:45:53It is
00:45:53simple.
00:45:54We shall
00:45:55all agree
00:45:55to a more
00:45:56mutually
00:45:56beneficial
00:45:57recounting
00:45:57of events.
00:46:15It is a
00:46:16beautiful
00:46:17evening.
00:46:18Yes.

00:49:10of the late earl

00:49:17your majesty
00:49:18that I am by birth
00:49:19and by education
00:49:20a daughter of Penwood house
00:49:31you
00:49:31would
00:49:32have
00:49:32made
00:49:33a
00:49:33wonderful
00:49:33diamond
00:49:37very well
00:49:38then
00:49:39was
00:49:40there
00:49:40something
00:49:40of
00:49:41interest
00:49:42about
00:49:43shoe clips
00:49:43no your majesty
00:49:45I do not believe

00:49:49on
00:50:15we're cousins
00:50:17then
00:50:19we are sisters
00:50:23I think
00:50:25young
00:50:25violet
00:50:25would be
00:50:26quite impressed
00:50:27by you
00:50:27today
00:50:29I think
00:50:30she would
00:50:33that

00:50:36a risk
00:50:37you took
00:50:37yes your majesty
00:50:39you're lucky
00:50:39I went along
00:50:40with it
00:50:41yes your majesty
00:50:42run along
00:50:52did you hear
00:50:54apparently Lord Stotter
00:50:55is not content
00:50:55with Miss Lee's
00:50:56now inadequate dowry
00:50:59well he has always
00:51:00been known to be
00:51:00a fortune hunter
00:51:01Miss Lee is not
00:51:02my favourite
00:51:02but
00:51:03I imagine the family
00:51:04rather needed
00:51:05one of the girls
00:51:05to make a match
00:51:06this season
00:51:10something tells me
00:51:11all will be
00:51:12well
00:51:15oh
00:51:15oh
00:51:16oh
00:51:16oh
00:51:17oh
00:51:17oh
00:51:17oh
00:51:17oh
00:51:22oh
00:51:23oh
00:51:23oh my lady
00:51:27forgive me
00:51:28for coming
00:51:29so late
00:51:29I hope
00:51:30you've not
00:51:30come to bed
00:51:31for your position
00:51:31back
00:51:31Varley
00:51:32because
00:51:32if you have
00:51:33I'm afraid
00:51:34I must tell you
00:51:34that we are
00:51:35more than
00:51:35satisfied
00:51:36with Ray
00:51:37no
00:51:37certainly not
00:51:38I am
00:51:40headed
00:51:40to the country
00:51:41for a new position
00:51:42and I have
00:51:43come for
00:51:43some of my things
00:51:44before I leave town
00:51:45I left behind
00:51:46a few
00:51:47books
00:51:48in my rush
00:51:49to depart
00:51:51did we not
00:51:52tease Penelope
00:51:52about her reading
00:51:53together
00:51:54I do not remember
00:51:55you picking up
00:51:56a single book
00:51:57well I also
00:51:57came for an apology
00:51:58I never got one
00:52:00an apology
00:52:00from me
00:52:01about what
00:52:02for taking me
00:52:03for granted
00:52:04for treating me
00:52:05like family
00:52:06and then working
00:52:06me like a dog
00:52:07and paying me
00:52:08worse than that
00:52:09I think that
00:52:10is highly unfair
00:52:11you will not be
00:52:13getting an apology
00:52:13from me
00:52:15very well
00:52:22perhaps
00:52:25perhaps
00:52:25I could
00:52:27possibly be
00:52:29apologetic
00:52:30think about
00:52:31one or two
00:52:32things
00:52:39those
00:52:40dresses
00:52:41that I offered you
00:52:43they were clearly
00:52:44out of season
00:52:45I should have found you
00:52:46something nicer
00:52:49or paid you more
00:52:52that will do
00:52:54that will do
00:52:55I forgive you
00:52:55oh Farley
00:52:57I have missed you
00:52:59oh I cannot begin
00:53:00to tell you
00:53:00that Penwood woman
00:53:02she made work in here
00:53:03seem like a holiday
00:53:04I was only going to the
00:53:05countryside
00:53:05because she came home
00:53:06tonight in a foul mood
00:53:07and dismissed me
00:53:08dismissed you
00:53:09what sort of a fool
00:53:10would do such a thing
00:53:15well we cannot have you
00:53:16going to the countryside
00:53:18oh but you have Ray
00:53:19yes
00:53:20but
00:53:21it is a very large house
00:53:25Mr. Cosmet
00:53:27yes he has formed
00:53:29an attachment
00:53:29Miss Sophie Gunn
00:53:31a relation of the late
00:53:32Lord Penwood
00:53:54Miss Gunn
00:53:56may I have your first dance
00:54:00you may Mr. Bridgerton
00:54:04you may I have your first dance
00:54:59was that not absurd?
00:55:01it was a truly
00:55:03mad plan
00:55:05she is certainly
00:55:07full of new energy
00:55:08that Mrs. Mondridge
00:55:09though I do not know
00:55:11if her plan worked
00:55:12because she planned it well
00:55:13or because of the
00:55:14sheer lack of a plan
00:55:15well she was right
00:55:16about one thing
00:55:17you do enjoy
00:55:19being amused
00:55:28ridiculous
00:55:29it is the best thing
00:55:30to happen all season
00:55:31no
00:55:31the best thing
00:55:32to happen all season
00:55:33is that you are sure
00:55:34to win your wager
00:55:35with Mrs. Bridgerton
00:55:37oh yes
00:55:41the bet shall be settled
00:55:44that was fun
00:55:56Lady Damprey
00:56:06we have such fun together
00:56:10yes we do
00:56:13I will miss you
00:56:19oh
00:56:19oh
00:56:20bother
00:56:23my command is to stop
00:56:27to stop
00:56:39how does it feel
00:56:41to be officially recognized
00:56:42as a penwood
00:56:44strange
00:56:46but good
00:56:46would you mind
00:56:47if I cut it short then
00:56:48because I would very much
00:56:50like to make you
00:56:51a Bridgerton
00:57:06will you marry me
00:57:10yes
00:57:11yes I will
00:57:12I will
00:57:15you
00:57:15you
00:57:15you
00:57:15you
00:57:17you
00:57:23you
00:57:28you
00:58:00I'm overjoyed at how things have worked in your son's favour.
00:58:03Oh, as am I.
00:58:04The two of them can marry properly and stay here in town now if they wish.
00:58:09They are a legitimate pair as far as anyone is concerned.
00:58:12That's very good.
00:58:14And now we may at last make our announcement joyfully and without concern.
00:58:18Shall we tell your children tonight?
00:58:22Something the matter.
00:58:31Um, I, um, it has been our other event for evening.
00:58:39Are we not perhaps rushing things?
00:58:41I do not see any reason we should delay.
00:58:44Unless you see one that I'm not aware of.
00:58:48One I should be made aware of.
00:58:51I have been hesitant because of my children, because of my late husband, because of Francesca.
00:58:58But today I came to understand another source of my hesitation.
00:59:02Which is?
00:59:04I have been a wife and a mother for so long.
00:59:08I have lost perspective entirely on who I was before that.
00:59:12I am only just starting to get reacquainted with that part of myself.
00:59:15My carefree, wild self.
00:59:17And I am afraid that if we are to win, then I would lose that opportunity.
00:59:23And yet I do not want to lose you either.
00:59:26I do not understand, then.
00:59:28Oh, would it not?
00:59:31Could we not continue as we are?
00:59:37Seeing one another, still having our independence?
00:59:46Violet, I want so much for your happiness.
00:59:50But I want for my own as well.
00:59:52Our time together has been a gift.
00:59:55I want to share a life with you.
00:59:58And I would wait if I believed you may one day want the same.
01:00:03But I'm starting to doubt that you do.
01:00:05Please, Marcus, please.
01:00:07I...
01:00:09I care for you deeply.
01:00:13I know.
01:00:14I feel that you do.
01:00:25Dearest gentle reader, are you perhaps feeling a little shock?
01:00:36Have you seen Miss Sterling tonight?
01:00:38Has she gone to bed already?
01:00:40Did Miss Sterling not inform you?
01:00:41Of what?
01:00:42She's packed her belongings and left.
01:00:45You thought I was gone for good.
01:00:56But far too much transpires for this author to remain silent.
01:01:13And so we are reunited.
01:01:16What are we doing?
01:01:18I desire to dance with my betrothed.
01:01:39You are rather skilled, even with no music.
01:01:42But it's all the more remarkable if you knew who my first dance tutor was.
01:01:46I had so much to overcome.
01:01:49It is assuredly a reunion rooted in care and love.
01:02:03I thought you were done with Whistledown.
01:02:06I am.
01:02:07I am working on my novel.
01:02:11And who in the devil wrote this?
01:02:13Though this time with a very different author.
01:02:24It is midnight.
01:02:26Must you flee?
01:02:31I can stay.
01:02:33As long as you like.
01:02:41I was hoping you might stay forever.
01:02:47But for now, my new identity shall remain a secret.
01:03:07Dear reader, we are going to have so much fun.
01:03:20Dear reader, we are going to be healthy.
01:03:21I am going to have so much fun.
01:04:47Firstborn brother.
01:04:48In fact, the wisest thing I could impart is never listen to me again.
01:04:54Father would be so proud of you.
01:04:57I know I am.
01:05:03Whose wedding do you think we will be attending next?
01:05:06Oh, I do love a wedding.
01:05:08All the best people in the same place.
01:05:11As an attendee.
01:05:16Do you think I'll ever do it again?
01:05:18Me? A wedding? No.
01:05:21I have had my great love.
01:05:22One time is enough.
01:05:46I have had my great love.
01:05:46I have had my great love.
01:05:46I am not enough.
01:05:47I have had my great love.
01:05:47I have no.
01:05:54My pleasure is enough.
01:05:55Bye.
01:06:01Bye.
01:06:21Sofie.
01:06:24Benedict.
01:06:26Dearly beloved,
01:06:28we are gathered together here
01:06:29in the sight of God
01:06:30and in the faith.
01:06:48Make us your bride.
