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.
00:10I 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?
00:28You did promise.
00:30I will have my birthday in London, Daphne says.
00:33I 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 youngest sister, Mr. Windover.
00:58We are practically brother and sister.
01:01We needn't be on such formal terms.
01:04Do you miss your family, Harry?
01:06Being here as long as you have been?
01:09I consider Adam my brother.
01:12Being here is being with family.
01:17How is it that the two of you are so close?
01:20He is.
01:20He is so hostile towards you.
01:23Adam is hostile towards everyone.
01:25It 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 would have stopped that.
01:55They took orders from him.
01:57They were afraid of him.
01:59They 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, still whimper when they see him.
02:21To be so utterly terrifying when he was only a child.
02:26It wasn't that, exactly.
02:28He was, still is, remarkably intelligent.
02:35And 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 looks at you.
03:14Huh.
03:17That is out of character for him.
03:19Adam usually faces problems directly.
03:22I'm a problem, then?
03:24A poor choice of words on my part.
03:28A great deal has changed lately.
03:30Adam does tend to get more...
03:32I don't know.
03:36Prickly.
03:37When he has a lot in his mind.
03:39So you're saying I shouldn't give up yet?
03:43If I had given up on Adam for being grumpy, we 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.
03:59And I think he respects that.
04:01He keeps trying.
04:02But 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.
04:21I'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?
04:29Frustrates...
04:32Frustrates him.
04:36If Adam does not like people to be afraid of him, why does he go to such lengths to make
04:41certain they are?
04:45I have my theories.
04:47But Adam's motivations are not a topic I am willing to discuss.
04:52I 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.
05:11I promise you.
05:13He is.
05:20He really never looks at you.
05:26Something about you has ruffled him.
05:31Nothing...
05:32Ruffles Adam.
05:55I will go.
05:56I will go.
05:58I will go.
05:59I will go.
06:03I will go.
06:03I will go.
06:04Just saw your grace.
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?
06:20It 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
06:35to transform me into a horse.
06:38Lest 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?
07:05And you were going to attempt to ride alibi?
07:07I know your grace.
07:09The 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.
07:28Our 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.
07:38Stand, stand.
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.
07:48Well, perhaps the poor thing waddled so much because he was overfed.
07:53There's a girl.
07:54That's it.
08:01If she and Atlas Pot Company see to it that Jon 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.
08:22Hey.
08:23I guess I love her.
08:24I don't know.
08:25Yeah.
08:32so much.
08:46It's all over.
08:47Sarah James.

16:55that's fine
16:55but i think that's your love
16:55but i can't find the way
17:20Adam, I think I hear wolves.
17:50I'm trying to be brave, Adam.
18:20I'm trying to be brave.
18:53I'm trying to be brave.
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.
19:43You'll be warmer inside.
19:52If Harry's still gone, the castle would be quiet, and if you'd find a private spot to go and do
19:59whatever it is you do, don't you cry?
20:05I usually sleep and wake up with a headache.
20:13That was awful.
20:17Generally, I can't help myself.
20:23It's falling off of me.
20:25You're warm.
20:26You're just white, Nick.
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 miserable.
21:03I don't want you to be sleep.
21:37You've missed your riding lesson this morning.
21:39I'm afraid I overslept.
21:42And how was your head?
21:43My head.
21:45You said last night that your head hurts after you've been crying.
21:50Does ache a little.
21:53There is an apothecary in Sifton.
21:55He'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.
22:30But again, thank you for offering.
22:32Yes.
22:55Urgent message for your grace.
23:07Tell the stables to prepare my swiftest traveling 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.
23:16Is something the matter with Harry?
23:17He's taken exceedingly ill as an in-between here and Hoyk.
23:19What are you intending to do?
23:20I've got to retrieve him, of course.
23:22If the stables will ever send my carriage, that is.
23:26It looks like it might snow.
23:27That's precisely why I wish to make an immediate start.
23:29But is it safe?
23:30If 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
23:39flea-infested hostelry Harry's decided to take ill in.
23:42I will assume no such thing.
23:44Simply 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.
23:52I've never once broken down.
23:55You must promise me you will be careful.
23:57If you do not, I will worry.
24:03Why would you worry about me?
24:06Why wouldn't I?
24:10No one worries about me, Stephanie.
24:15Someone does now.
24:19Don't.
24:21Afraid I can't help it.
24:22By 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.
24:49Afterwave.
24:51I will not.
25:02Most things.
25:02I will not.
25:02You.
25:18I will not.
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.
25:59Where is he?
26:05How much is no one worth here?
26:08You like your waive begging me pardon?
26:11I beg no one's pardon. Where is he?
26:14Settle the gulf'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?
26:37Can't say really. It goes higher all the time, doesn't it?
26:40I got a few shillings been added since we've been talking.
26:48Where is the gentleman who's staying here?
26:50I'll call your accountant.
26:52You, Wendover.
26:54I ain't got a shilling.
26:57A half-crown?
26:59Where is the gentleman who's staying here?
27:02First door on your right, Governor.
27:03Step over.
27:04Step over.
27:06Step over.
27:10Aaah.
27:16Step over.
27:18Step over.
27:32istein-
27:35You haven't determined to shut up one last time.
27:41What 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?
27:57This gentleman is clearly ill.
27:59I run in a Cherokee, Guff.
28:01Ain't nothing to pay a doctor with, and his man-servant here is poorer than he is.
28:06So you left him to grow loyal.
28:09Perhaps to the point of endangering his life.
28:11People die all the time, don't they?
28:14How many have died in this inn?
28:17Waiting 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.
28:27Madam.
28:30Can we go back to the castle?
28:33In the looks of you, you'd do better to go directly to a cemetery.
28:37Likely a good idea.
28:38Let's get Mr. Windover to the carriage.
28:40Of course.
28:46How much do you imagine you are owed by Mr. Windover?
28:48Sittering everything, I'd settle up for five pounds.
28:51Five pounds.
28:53Nothing 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.
29:03Or, uh, go.
29:05I'm just making a sense that it ain't never me.
29:08You're five pounds.
29:12Here'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.
30:20Yes.
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.
30:45So I'm...
30:46My 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.
31:18Does Mr. Jones feel that Mr. Windover will recover?
31:22He does.
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.
31:34While 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.
31:50He is.
31:55Adam.
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,
32:16Mr. Windover needs rest.
32:17Then we will allow you to see to his comfort.
32:25I hadn'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
32:39will be the next best thing.
32:46I suppose I should listen
32:47when offered such sage advice.
32:54I agree.
32:58I agree.
33:00I agree.
33:05You've been out in the cold all day, Adam.
33:09I should get some rest as well.
33:11Or you might very well end up as ill as Harry.
33:32I will have the kitchen send you up a tray.
33:35I'm fine.
33:48Bye.
33:50Bye.
33:50Bye-bye.
33:58Bye.
34:00Bye.
34:02Bye.
34:09Adam.
34:20Adam, you've married a coward.
34:33Adam.
34:35Adam.
34:49Adam.
34:54Adam.
34:55Adam.
35:00At least she doesn't snore.
35:14Stephanie!
35:18Stephanie!
35:20Stephanie!
35:21Stephanie!
35:22Stephanie!
35:35Adam!
35:45What?
35:59I'm behaving like a ridiculous slackwit.
36:01I'm 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'm...
36:31I would rather you didn't.
36:36I won't if you really don't want me to.
36:39Good.
36:39I think it would be best if you do not.
36:43What is wrong with the Blazers?
36:44What is wrong with me?
36:59The Blazers is wrong with me.
37:29Oh, I get that a lot.
37:33Oh, we've been worried about you.
37:38It's all been a ploy to get attention.
37:46Why were you so displeased when you were looking in the mirror?
37:49Oh, it was nothing.
37:54That wasn't nothing.
37:59Do you think I'm ridiculous?
38:05Oh, you large buckets.
38:09Adam's been talking again, hasn't he?
38:13He looked me over, studying me very closely.
38:17Then he said, ridiculous.
38:20He once described St. James's palace as ridiculous.
38:24It's his favorite word.
38:27He is so confusing.
38:32All part of his charm, Pasiphanie.
38:41How did he come to have such extensive scars?
38:51Adam was born with a stub where his right ear was meant to be.
38:56A succession of surgeons came to the castle over the first few years of his life, attempting
39:01to find it.
39:03The scars, then, weren't the result of an accident.
39:08We were attempting to fix him, but, in the end, he still has no ear.
39:16His hearing is still a little novel on that side, and he's been left scarred in more ways
39:24than one.
39:27You need to rest, and I won't keep you from it.
39:32If there is anything at all that he needs, do not hesitate to ask.
39:35Thank you, your grace.
