00:01Dear Persephone, we've been home for two days now and I am nearly dead with boredom.
00:06Athena spends all her time practicing country dances.
00:09I do not think she will find a husband dancing like she does.
00:13No gentleman would want to marry someone who dances like a cow.
00:17I am running around like a heathen and terrorizing the neighborhood.
00:21It's lovely. I wish you were here so we could be heathens together.
00:26When can I come explore your towers? You did promise.
00:30I will have my birthday in London, Daphne says. I will invite you.
00:35If the Duke wants to come, he can too, even if he never did talk to me once while I
00:39was at his castle.
00:41Please write to me. Be sure to put the guinea under the seal.
00:45Your sister, Artemis.
00:51You seem in good spirits this afternoon.
00:54I've been reading a letter from my younger sister, Mr. Windover.
00:58We are practically brother and sister. We needn't be on such formal towns.
01:04Do you miss your family, Harry? Being here as long as you have been?
01:08I consider Adam my brother. Being here is being with family.
01:16How is it that the two of you are so close? He is so hostile towards you.
01:23Adam is hostile towards everyone. It is just the way he is.
01:28Does he never show any tenderness of feeling?
01:34Not in the two decades I've known him.
01:37And you forged a friendship with someone who was already adversarial.
01:43Adam saved my skin.
01:46I was something of a runt.
01:48And the other boys at Harrow found that grounds for torturing me.
01:53Adam could have stopped that.
01:55They took orders from him.
01:56They were afraid of him.
01:58They still are.
02:01Everyone is.
02:04But he would have only been seven or eight years old.
02:07Seven.
02:08He was a force to be reckoned with.
02:11By the time he was a shell, he ran Harrow.
02:15Shell?
02:15The youngest, yeah.
02:17Some of the boys now grown gentlemen, of course.
02:19Still whimper when they see him.
02:21To be so utterly terrifying when he was only a child.
02:26It wasn't that, exactly.
02:29He was...
02:31Still is remarkably intelligent.
02:34And he is authoritative.
02:36Kind of man few people question.
02:39Even at seven he was very much that way.
02:42And he is utterly unafraid.
02:46There is nothing that frightens him.
02:49Nothing that intimidates him.
02:58Why won't he ever look at me?
03:02What do you mean?
03:05Never mind.
03:10He never looked at you.
03:14Huh.
03:16That is out of character for him.
03:19Adam usually faces problems directly.
03:21I'm a problem, then?
03:23A poor choice of words on my part.
03:27A great deal has changed lately.
03:29Adam does tend to get more...
03:32I don't know.
03:36Quickly, when he has a lot in his mind.
03:39So you're saying I shouldn't give up yet?
03:42If I had given up on Adam for being grumpy,
03:45we wouldn't be friends.
03:47How long did it take for him to stop being prickly with you?
03:51He still is.
03:54Adam would never admit it.
03:56But he knows I refuse to be bullied.
03:58And I think he respects that.
04:00He keeps trying, but I think he hopes it'll never work.
04:05So he doesn't like people who are intimidated by him?
04:09He doesn't respect them.
04:11That is a little different.
04:13It is a great deal different to Adam.
04:15Adam likes his mother.
04:17But he doesn't respect her.
04:19Mother Harriet, I've called her that since I was a boy,
04:23has made something of a hobby out of pitying Adam.
04:27And he doesn't like that?
04:28Frustrates...
04:32Frustrates him.
04:36If Adam does not like people to be afraid of him,
04:39why does he go to such lengths to make certain they are?
04:44I have my theories.
04:47But Adam's motivations are not a topic I am willing to discuss.
04:51I am attempting to find my place here,
04:54and claim a degree of equanimity with my new husband.
05:00I need help if I am to have any hope of understanding Adam.
05:05Most people do not even try.
05:07But he is worth sorting out Persephone.
05:10I promise you.
05:13He is.
05:20He really never looks at you.
05:26Something about you has ruffled him.
05:31Nothing ruffles Adam.
05:55He is.
06:00He is.
06:04He is.
06:05He is a bit skittish this morning.
06:06It has been so cold and all.
06:08Haven't you a horse that isn't skittish about cold?
06:10What?
06:11Atlas behaves in the cold.
06:13Who named the horse Atlas?
06:15His grace did.
06:17And his grace does not think it a ridiculous name?
06:19It being Greek and mythological.
06:23He named his own monk Zeus.
06:25That would be one of them hidden gods and all.
06:28Such names are not ridiculous for horses.
06:33Then I had best touch the forest for a sorceress to transform me into a horse.
06:37Lest I spend the rest of my life doomed to a constant state of ridiculousness.
06:42You would make an atrocious horse, Persephone.
06:44On that we can agree.
06:53What brings you out of the silly?
06:56I was hoping to attempt to ride again.
06:58How long have you been out of the saddle?
07:00Ten years.
07:04Ten years?
07:05Ten years.
07:05And you were going to attempt to ride alibi?
07:07I know you, Grace.
07:08The Duchess was just asking if you were ailing or upset.
07:12I was thinking Atlas would be good for a grace.
07:16It's a good choice.
07:20Are you really going to try riding again?
07:22To be perfectly honest, I'm not certain one could accurately call my previous experience riding.
07:27Our neighbours, the Uptons, allowed me to ride a pony of theirs on occasion as a child.
07:32If memory serves, it was aged and did little more than shift its weight.
07:40She's calm and steady, Grace.
07:42She'll not hurt you.
07:43May I feed her a carrot?
07:46The Uptons pony was swanned of carrots.
07:48What?
07:48Well, perhaps the poor thing waddled so much because he was overfed.
07:52Okay.
07:53There's a girl.
07:54That's it.
08:01If she and Atlas are part company, see to it that John has her brought up to the castle.
08:06Don't you want to even see her try?
08:07I've seen enough people quit in my lifetime without witnessing the same thing again.
08:11I think she'll surprise you.
08:23I'm sorry, yeah.
08:45I'm sorry, guys.
08:47I wonder who you were.
09:09You've had quite a few writing lessons now.
09:11Are you feeling more confident in the summer?
09:13Quite a bit more.
09:15Tomorrow I intend to attempt to jump the castle wall.
09:18Atlas doesn't know yet.
09:22Just my luck, I'll miss that.
09:24Miss it?
09:25I am for Hoyk in the morning.
09:28You're certain you couldn't leave tonight?
09:32Do you go to Scotland often?
09:34I have an aunt and uncle in Hoyk.
09:36They're always asking me to come for a visit.
09:38And I'm always asking you to leave.
09:40How is it that their requests are adhered to and mine are ignored?
09:43Because I know you do not actually want me to go.
09:54I've never been to Scotland.
09:55You live a stone's throw from it now?
09:57Perhaps you and Adam could gad about Hadrian's Wall sometime.
10:00I do not gad about.
10:02I have not ever been to Shropshire.
10:04Though I hear it is beautiful.
10:07I admit to being very biased on the matter.
10:10But I think it is the most beautiful area of England.
10:13All my family does.
10:15Athena waxes poetic about it quite often.
10:17Evander's letters regularly mention Missing Shropshire.
10:22Have you heard from either of your young and heavy brothers recently?
10:26The last letter I had from Evander indicated the triumphant the ship they are serving on was not far from
10:31Spain.
10:34A great deal of activity in that part of the world just now.
10:41I worry over the boys almost constantly.
10:45And I worry about my sisters and my father.
10:49About quite a few people, truth be told.
10:54Well, rest assured, Persephone, you needn't worry about me while I am away.
11:00My aunt and uncle will fuss over me more than sufficiently,
11:03leaving you ample energy for gadding about with Adam.
11:07I do not gad about.
11:08I do not gad about.
11:45I do not gad about.
12:12Good afternoon, Adam.
12:14I will not intrude on your solitude, Phil.
12:17This has arrived and I wish to explain.
12:20Please sit.
12:23I'm fine.
12:24I'm not asking for your comfort, but for my own.
12:27I have no desire to strain my neck looking up as you loom over me.
12:40Now you open the parcel.
12:42You said you wanted to explain.
12:43After you open it.
13:01You cannot ride without a proper riding habit.
13:05I ordered it because you need one, and I did not think you knew how to obtain it.
13:10You ordered this for me.
13:12I don't know that it is the color you would have chosen, but on blue seemed a good option.
13:18You'll need it when you ride, regardless of its color.
13:21You must have great faith in my ability to learn to ride.
13:25Thus far, I am proving a very poor pupil.
13:29Quite a bit better yesterday.
13:31You watched me.
13:34With Harry gone, I have a lot of time on my hands.
13:36Your boots will take longer to arrive.
13:38You've ordered boots for me as well.
13:40Your house slippers are hardly appropriate for riding.
13:42I haven't been wearing slippers.
13:43I just well have been.
13:49I don't know what to say, Adam.
13:52It's not necessary for you to say anything.
13:55I only wish to explain.
13:58Thank you, Adam.
14:01This is probably the most beautiful thing I've ever owned.
14:04And it'll be warm.
14:05You chose a good color.
14:07I do like blue.
14:10Oh, I nearly forgot.
14:14This has arrived for you as well.
14:18I shall leave you to your letter.
14:35There has been a battle at sea.
14:44Near Cape Trafalgar.
14:48The tribe has seen heavy losses.
14:52Your brothers?
14:56Linus' food is unknown.
15:05Davendo is dead.んだ
15:07is dead. Oh.
15:17Oh,
15:18oh. Oh.
15:23Oh,
15:40She's in pain, and I can't do a blasted thing about it, having the first idea where to stop.
15:52When Mother was distressed, she just left Faustin.
15:58Hersephone hasn't left yet, so what do I do?
16:05I don't want her to be miserable.
16:08I need her.
16:13Dukes don't need people.
16:19Mother has always preferred being away from me.
16:24Hersephone will as well.
16:25I don't want her to die.
16:30I don't want her to die.
16:45I don't want her to die.
16:49I don't want her to die.
16:50I don't want her to die.
17:21Adam, I think I hear wolves.
17:50I'm trying to be brave, Adam.
18:28I'm trying to be brave, Adam.
19:11I need my family.
19:27I didn't bring a coat.
19:34You'll contract an inflammation of the lungs.
19:37Everyone in London will accuse me of poisoning you.
19:42You'll be warmer inside.
19:51If Harry's still gone, the castle would be quiet and you'd find a private spot to go and do whatever
19:59it is you do.
20:00Or do you cry?
20:04I usually sleep and wake up with a headache.
20:12That was awful.
20:16Generally, I can't help myself.
20:23It's falling off.
20:25You're warm.
20:25Or if you just want it.
20:31You really don't want me to be cold.
20:38I don't want you to be miserable.
20:39I don't want you to be cold.
20:56Adam?
21:04Adam?
21:06Adam?
21:09Adam?
21:34I don't want you to be cold.
21:36You've missed your riding lesson this morning.
21:39I'm afraid I overslept.
21:42And how was your head?
21:43My head.
21:44You said last night that your head hurts after you've been crying.
21:50Does ache a little?
21:53There is an apothecary in Sifton. He's quite competent.
21:57I could send one of the grooms for some powders.
22:01I don't need any powders just now, but thank you.
22:09John has indicated that Atlas can be saddled whenever you would like to have your riding lesson today.
22:16I'm not sure I'm up for a ride.
22:20Are you certain you do not wish for some powders?
22:23I could have some here before the weather changes.
22:28Rest is what I need most. But again, thank you for offering.
22:32Yes.
22:55Urgent message for your grace.
23:06Tell the stables to prepare my swiftest travelling coach and send someone to Sifton for Mr. Johns.
23:11Yes, Sir Grace.
23:11Are you leaving, Adam?
23:12Almost on the instant.
23:13Tell Mrs. Smithson to prepare Mr. Windover's usual room.
23:15Is something the matter with Harry?
23:17He's taken exceedingly ill as an in-between here and awake.
23:19What are you intending to do?
23:20Go retrieve him, of course.
23:22If the stables will ever send my carriage, that is.
23:25It looks like it might snow.
23:27That's precisely why I wish to make an immediate start.
23:29But is it safe? If the weather worsens, you might become stuck on the road.
23:32I can reach the inn before then.
23:34How will I know you're safe?
23:35If I do not return tonight, you can assume that I am waiting out the weather at whatever flea-infested
23:40hostelry Harry's decided to take ill in.
23:42I will assume no such thing. Simply not returning will tell me nothing.
23:46You could just as easily be half frozen on the side of some road or devoured by wolves or ill
23:50yourself.
23:51I've driven these roads for years. I've never once broken down.
23:54You must promise me you will be careful. If you do not, I will worry.
24:03Why would you worry about me?
24:06Why wouldn't I?
24:10No one worries about me, Persephone.
24:14Someone does now.
24:19Don't.
24:20Afraid I can't help it.
24:22Like crying.
24:28Worrying will probably give you a headache as well.
24:31Then spare me the headache and promise me you will be cautious.
24:44I will be cautious.
24:47I promise.
24:52Oh my God.
24:55You will seegeben of you with my truth, men!
24:56Oh my God.
25:40Where is the owner of this establishment?
25:54What can I do for you, Governor?
25:56There is a gentleman staying at this inn, Mr. Wendover.
25:58Where is he?
26:05How much is no one worth here?
26:08You like your way of begging me pardon?
26:10I beg no one's pardon. Where is he?
26:14Settle the cove's bill, then I'll tell you.
26:18His bill will be settled in the usual manner upon departure.
26:23I'll be adding to the bill then. Inconvenience, you see.
26:27If you're in mind to toss a few extra pounds, you might save yourself some blood in the end.
26:32A few extra pounds.
26:34What do you feel you are currently owed?
26:36Don't say really.
26:38It goes higher all the time, doesn't it?
26:41I reckon a few shillings been added since we've been talking.
26:47Where is the gentleman who's staying here?
26:50I'll call your accountant you, Hooper.
26:53I ain't got a shilling.
26:57A half-crown?
26:58Where is the gentleman who's staying here?
27:01First door on your right, governor.
27:03Step over.
27:04Step over.
27:31If you're dead, don't expect me to eulogize you.
27:35You haven't determined to shut up one last time.
27:40What instructions did the physician leave?
27:45I haven't seen one.
27:47Was one not sinful?
27:49I made repeated requests, Your Grace, but I was prevented at every turn by...
27:54Why did you not allow a physician to be summoned?
27:56This gentleman is clearly ill.
27:59I run in a charity, Gough.
28:01Ain't nothing to pay a doctor with, and his manservant here is poorer than he is.
28:06So you left him to grow more ill?
28:08Perhaps to the point of endangering his life?
28:11People die all the time, don't they?
28:14How many have died in this inn?
28:16Waiting for help that was never going to come?
28:20Sick and dying don't fight back.
28:22Makes it easier to settle their bill.
28:24By picking their pockets, no doubt.
28:26Adam.
28:30Can we go back to the castle?
28:32In the looks of you, you'd do better to go directly to a cemetery.
28:36Might be a good idea.
28:38Let's get Mr. Windover to the carriage.
28:40Of course.
28:45How much do you imagine you are owed by Mr. Windover?
28:48Considering everything, I'd settle up for five pounds.
28:51Five pounds.
28:52Nothing you have provided, or could provide, is worth a tenth of that.
28:56I reckon you can afford it.
28:57And do you demand such exorbitant sums from people who can't afford it?
29:01Someone will always walk away.
29:03Warwick, Gough.
29:05I'm just making sense that it ain't never me.
29:08You're five pounds.
29:12He's hoping we can do business again in the future.
29:16We will.
29:33You've taken Evander.
29:37Please do not take my husband as well.
29:56Take him to his chambers.
30:01Is Mr. Jones here?
30:02Yes, Your Grace.
30:14I told you I'd be careful.
30:16I suppose I should have believed you.
30:21Yes.
30:23You should have.
30:24You look cold.
30:27I'm freezing.
30:29You should change into something warm and dry.
30:31Mr. Jones will see to Harry.
30:35You are to be my voice of reason now.
30:41Your hand is cold.
30:45Sir, I'm...
30:47My apologies.
30:49If you'll excuse me,
30:51I've been told I ought to change out of this cold white cloth.
30:55I'm glad you've returned, Adam.
31:17Does Mr. Jones feel that Mr. Windover will recover?
31:21He does.
31:22Yes.
31:23Now that Mr. Windover is here,
31:26he had begun making a turn for the worse to that inn.
31:29I...
31:30I shudder to think of the outcome if his grace hadn't rescued him.
31:33While his grace may have carried out the rescue,
31:37your letter is the reason we knew it was necessary.
31:40We are all indebted to you for that.
31:43Mr. Windover is...
31:45a good man.
31:47Yes.
31:49He is.
31:56Adam...
31:58Mr. Jones believes Harry will recover.
32:02I suspect Harry is too stubborn not to.
32:09What is he in need of?
32:10The apothecary is providing powders in a tisane.
32:14Aside from that, he says Mr. Windover needs rest.
32:17Then we will allow you to see to his comfort.
32:24I...
32:25hadn't had a chance to check on Harry myself.
32:31Bringing Harry here...
32:34was the best thing you could have done.
32:38Allowing him to sleep will be the next best thing.
32:46I suppose I should listen...
32:48when offered such sage advice.
32:55I agree.
33:05You've been out in the cold all day, Adam.
33:09I should get some rest as well.
33:11You might very well end up as ill as Harry.
33:31You might very well end up as ill as Harry.
33:32I will have the kitchen send you up a tray.
33:34I will have to do it again...
33:34I will be right back, Harry.
33:34I will be right back, Harry.
33:39You are as if you want to see.
33:40I will have the game a new app.
33:40I will be right back.
33:41I will be right back.
33:50You will be right back.
33:54The moment you're staying.
33:56I will do it.
33:57I will be right back, Harry.
33:59Alright.
34:09Adam.
34:20Adam, you've married a coward.
34:59Adam, you've married a coward.
35:00At least she doesn't snore.
35:14Ms. Stephanie!
35:18Ms. Stephanie!
35:33Ms. Stephanie! Adam!
35:45What?
35:52I give us...
35:59I'm behaving like a ridiculous blackwood, panicking over a dream.
36:04Adam?
36:05What?
36:11Harry seems a little better this morning.
36:17I am glad he is improving.
36:21So am I.
36:25Are you planning on riding this morning?
36:28I am.
36:29I would rather you didn't.
36:30But I...
36:31I would rather you didn't.
36:36I won't if you really don't want me to.
36:38Good. I think it would be best if you do not.
36:43What the blazes is wrong with me?
36:56What the blazes...
37:05I would rather you...
37:05Who's how to buy my camera?
37:07Who's...
37:10How'd you say that?
37:11That's the same.
37:11Going.
37:14Nothing.
37:18That's the same.
37:19You didn't need...
37:19What would you say?
37:19I get that.
37:20What's the name?
37:30I get that a lot
37:34We've been worried about you
37:38It's all been a ploy
37:40To get attention
37:46Why were you so displeased
37:47When you were looking in the mirror
37:49It was nothing
37:52That wasn't nothing
37:59Do you think
38:02I'm ridiculous
38:05You large buckets
38:09Adam's been talking again
38:11Hasn't he
38:13He looked me over
38:14Studying me very closely
38:16Then he said ridiculous
38:18He once described
38:20St. James's palace
38:21As ridiculous
38:23It's his favourite word
38:27He is
38:29So confusing
38:32All part of his charm
38:41How did he come to have such extensive scars
38:50Adam was born with a stub
38:53Where his right ear was meant to be
38:56Succession of surgeons came to the castle over the first few years of his life
39:01Attempting to find it
39:03The scars then
39:05Weren't the result of an accident
39:07They were attempting to fix him
39:10But
39:11But
39:12In the end
39:14He still has no ear
39:16His hearing is still a little moveled on outside
39:20And he's been left scarred
39:23In more ways than one
39:27You need to rest
39:28I'm fine
39:28And I won't keep you from it
39:32If there is anything at all that he needs
39:33Do not hesitate to ask
39:35Thank you, Your Grace
