00:00:01Hatch!
00:00:03Sir.
00:00:12But though a moth may love a flame...
00:00:17A letter for you got mixed in with the family's mail this morning.
00:00:33It will burn should they meet.
00:01:03It will burn.
00:01:19But the food is the end of the food.
00:01:27So, you can eat more.
00:01:40I am concerned that Mrs. Wilson may have always slept.
00:01:44Mrs. Wilson never oversleeps.
00:01:46And it is very unlikely she would fail to wake you in time for me to sneak away.
00:01:51In fact, I think Mrs. Wilson would sooner walk naked through Mayfair.
00:01:56Marcus!
00:01:56Yes, Viola.
00:01:58It's merely that Hyacinth is hosting her ball this week.
00:02:02No, it is not a ball, it is a rehearsal for her and her peers to practice what they have
00:02:08learned in their dance lessons.
00:02:09But she seems to forget his ball.
00:02:12I enjoy seeing how much you enjoy your children's happiness.
00:02:15And I think they would so much enjoy seeing your happiness.
00:02:27Yeah.
00:02:29This Mr. and Mistress you write about, it is Mr. Hiscox, is it not?
00:02:33Well, please do not ask me that.
00:02:34No, I thought it was a finely written issue.
00:02:36Well, surely you can tell me.
00:02:38Because I know it is Mr. Hiscox.
00:02:40Half the ton knows.
00:02:42And I thought the whole point of Whistledown is that she always names names.
00:02:47She is rather tired of everyone in the ton expecting her to write whatever they please.
00:02:51I cannot tell you the number of people who told me that gossip.
00:02:53So many people that I decided to write about it.
00:02:56If only to warn Mr. Hiscox to be more cautious.
00:02:58That's to ruin the reputation of his entire family.
00:03:00So it is Mr. Hiscox.
00:03:02Oh.
00:03:06Thanks, Miss.
00:03:07I felt safe in London knowing that Penwood house is on the outskirts of town.
00:03:10But do you know that Araminta could be living anywhere now?
00:03:13I'm afraid that I do not know to where she's moved.
00:03:16She and the girls left in such a hurry.
00:03:18And the new Lady Penwood only left to set the new housekeeper with her, praise be.
00:03:21Well, whoever the new Lady Penwood is, let us hope for your sake she is less...
00:03:24Less of a she-devil.
00:03:26Alfie!
00:03:26Oh, that felt good to say.
00:03:28Now we shall have to see about the new Lady Penwood next week after renovations are complete.
00:03:32She's yet to show her face.
00:03:34And your new employers?
00:03:36You have not said who they are.
00:03:37A very pleasant family.
00:03:40Whose name is...?
00:03:42The Bridgers.
00:03:43What?
00:03:44Who?
00:03:45The Bridgetons.
00:03:47So fair.
00:03:48I knew I recognised those colours.
00:03:51The Bridgetton uniform really suits you.
00:03:53How did this happen?
00:03:55Well, it's just simply...
00:04:01I found employment at Cavender House in the countryside.
00:04:04Philip Cavender turned out to be a knave.
00:04:06I threw a glass of water in his face and then Benedict Bridgetton appeared and we squished at Cavender's face.
00:04:10We fled together, got caught in a downpour, took refuge at his cottage, which is not a cottage at all,
00:04:14may I add.
00:04:14I nursed him back to health.
00:04:16He asked me to kiss him while he was asleep and then I somehow kissed him while we were both
00:04:19awake.
00:04:20He well-nigh kidnapped me and brought me to London, forced me into a job at his mother's house.
00:04:23We avoided each other until it all became too much to bear and now he has asked me to be
00:04:26his...
00:04:29His...
00:04:29Good God, he's what?
00:04:31His...
00:04:31Mistress.
00:04:37And?
00:04:38So?
00:04:39What did you say?
00:04:41We cannot be together, Alfie.
00:04:43It's a terrible thing to have been asked.
00:04:47Is it?
00:04:50You would be given lodging.
00:04:52An allowance.
00:04:53The freedom to come and go as you please.
00:04:55And no real duties besides the duty of keeping Mr Bridgetton happy.
00:04:59And am I wrong to imagine that would please you as well?
00:05:02It would certainly please me.
00:05:05What is so terrible about it?
00:05:08Nearly every high society gentleman has a mistress.
00:05:11I know that.
00:05:13Better than anyone, surely.
00:05:19Well, what do you mean to do?
00:05:22That is why I sent for you to meet me.
00:05:24To inquire if you know of a position elsewhere.
00:05:27Now that the maid wars have subsided, I hear London has been flooded with more hands than there are positions.
00:05:33There is an opening under the new Lady Penwood.
00:05:36It would be excellent to have you home.
00:05:38But I thought the old Lady Penwood spread the word that you were not to be hired.
00:05:41A letter of introduction from Violet Bridgetton means far more in this town than gossip from Armin to Garth.
00:05:45Lady Bridgetton has written your letter of introduction?
00:05:49She will.
00:05:51I am certain she will.
00:05:53Hopefully before I have to see Mr Bridgetton again.
00:06:05How is Mrs Modridge?
00:06:07She is at the palace, being fitted for her lady-in-waiting position.
00:06:12She's at the palace?
00:06:14Palace at the palace.
00:06:16Very well.
00:06:20What is it?
00:06:23There is a woman.
00:06:24Of course there is.
00:06:26Is it the woman from the masquerade?
00:06:28No.
00:06:28She does not exist, remember?
00:06:30I found a new woman to inspire my foolishness.
00:06:33And I believe that I have upset her.
00:06:38Except it was all I could do.
00:06:40Who is she?
00:06:45And what you did was...
00:06:47She is not a person of any rank and I asked her to be with me.
00:06:53You mean...
00:06:56As your mistress?
00:06:57I cannot ask her to marry me.
00:07:00Making her your mistress is the only way tolerated by society.
00:07:04But, no matter her rank, no woman, no man, no person truly desires to be hidden.
00:07:15Did you at least make it clear that you wish in some fantastical world that the two of you could
00:07:21be together legitimately?
00:07:23No.
00:07:26But we are not in a fantastical world.
00:07:29So would not that have been dishonest?
00:07:31It is not about honesty, it is about gesture.
00:07:35How can a woman trust you to navigate a complicated life with her when she cannot trust you even to
00:07:40navigate her feelings?
00:08:09It is quite tight.
00:08:11You look magnificent.
00:08:15Stand taller.
00:08:44Who is this?
00:08:46This is your new lady-in-waiting Your Majesty, Mrs Alice Mondridge.
00:08:53You may remember it was she who offered a suggestion as to Mr Bridgerton's unknown lady.
00:09:01You may take your place.
00:09:07And was her suggestion well-founded?
00:09:16Your Majesty, I...
00:09:20I have not heard.
00:09:23Surely you will find out for me, Lady Danbury.
00:09:26You and I have such crowded diaries of engagements, Your Majesty.
00:09:31I assure you, Mrs Mondridge will deal with this.
00:09:46That can't have happened!
00:09:50Uncle was here!
00:09:52I have never seen his face like that!
00:09:58Good evening!
00:09:59Or should I say good morning?
00:10:02Nearly.
00:10:03My deepest apologies.
00:10:05Did we keep you up?
00:10:07I have not wanted to break up the festivities, but it is 4 in the morning.
00:10:12We are planned to have breakfast at 9.30.
00:10:14Is there a reason we are breaking our fast at 9.30?
00:10:17Perhaps we could push it a little later.
00:10:20I fear that would be most unkind to our cook, who will already be up at 6.
00:10:25Considering we have probably kept the entire house awake.
00:10:28Apologies, truly.
00:10:29We did not notice the time.
00:10:31Perhaps we could give everyone the morning off and find some fruit and bread ourselves.
00:10:35We used to plunder the kitchen all the time when we were children.
00:10:38Yes.
00:10:39It was great fun.
00:10:40I do not wish to do that.
00:10:45Let us keep to our usual time.
00:10:49And we will come to bed now.
00:11:08I do not want Eloise to be present during any of my lessons after my rehearsal, as she is not
00:11:13in the least interested in my future.
00:11:15That is not exactly true. I simply...
00:11:18You do realise, Eloise, that if you are no longer sitting in on finishing lessons, then you must return to
00:11:22the marriage mat.
00:11:23That was our arrangement.
00:11:25What?
00:11:26No, you cannot do that.
00:11:28Well, I believe I just did.
00:11:29Mrs Wilson, Sophie, shall we make a survey of the Grand Hall for the recital?
00:11:33Hyacinth, let us convene.
00:11:35Hyacinth, surely we can...
00:11:37Hyacinth!
00:11:38I will be there shortly.
00:11:44Lady Bridgerton, may I steal a moment of your time?
00:11:46Of course.
00:11:47Sith, please.
00:11:49Is Hyacinth driving you mad with this recital planning?
00:11:52She acts as if she were making her debut.
00:11:54No, my lady. I am enjoying her enthusiasm.
00:12:00Ma'am...
00:12:02I know I have not been here for long.
00:12:04And I am so grateful to you for your many kindnesses, but...
00:12:07I am also aware that this position was created for me and I should not like to tax your generosity
00:12:11any longer.
00:12:12Sophie, there is no tax, truly.
00:12:13I have been made aware of a suitable position elsewhere.
00:12:17And I wondered if you might be so kind as to write me a letter of introduction.
00:12:21Has something occurred to make you wish to leave?
00:12:28No, ma'am.
00:12:30My desire to leave has nothing to do with anyone in this house.
00:12:35I simply have an opportunity to work again in the house I grew up in and I should like to
00:12:38return to that familiar place.
00:12:39And what house is that again?
00:12:42You mentioned you grew up in Aylesbury, yes?
00:12:46Yes, ma'am.
00:12:47I have not been to Aylesbury.
00:12:50It's famous for its owls, no?
00:12:55Yes.
00:12:56Though I do not much like owls, they are quite frightening.
00:13:06I would be happy to write you a letter if that is what you wish.
00:13:09But do you mind if you wait until after Hyacinth's recital?
00:13:15Of course, ma'am.
00:13:16Thank you, Lady Bridgeton. I am most grateful.
00:13:27I'm sorry.
00:13:28I'm sorry.
00:13:30I'm sorry, lady.
00:13:35I'm sorry.
00:13:36What would you say to me?
00:13:37I'm sorry.
00:13:39I'm sorry.
00:13:40I'm sorry.
00:13:40Please go right there.
00:13:42The dessert to be the dessert.
00:13:43You see, listen.
00:13:45Do you ever get the sense that Sophie is hiding something?
00:13:48Do you think she's taking advantage somehow?
00:13:51No, the opposite.
00:13:53I wonder if her history is less lowly than she admits
00:13:56with her education, her manner of speaking.
00:13:58Sometimes governesses turn out to be
00:14:00the runaway daughters of nobility, do they not?
00:14:02Governesses, yes, but I've never met a maid of noble origins.
00:14:08Shall I make inquiries?
00:14:09Oh, please.
00:14:12She mentioned that she was from Aylesbury,
00:14:15but when I mentioned the famous Owls, she was unbothered.
00:14:18Aylesbury is famous for its doubts.
00:14:19Exactly.
00:14:21Oh.
00:14:22Well, Mrs Wilson, um,
00:14:24would you mind extending an invitation to Lord Anderson for the recital?
00:14:28I think it is time for me to come around.
00:14:31Of course, ma'am.
00:14:44In my nearly four decades as butler, not once has the family moved in
00:14:48before the decoration was complete.
00:14:50It is, uh, unusual, or most unusual.
00:14:54But you see, Lady Penwood, when her husband died,
00:14:57his cousin inherited the title.
00:15:00The new Lord Penwood prefers the country,
00:15:02so he let Our Ladyship stay at Penwood House in London all these years,
00:15:06until the new Lord Penwood took a wife.
00:15:09And so he wrote to tell Our Ladyship and her girls to vacate
00:15:12to a rented house immediately.
00:15:17I do like it here.
00:15:18I much prefer a old home.
00:15:21Yes, well, at least we are next door to the Bridgertons.
00:15:26Who do still have one very unmarried son.
00:15:29Two unmarried sons.
00:15:30A, B, C, D, E, F.
00:15:35Gregory, I believe is his name.
00:15:37Who perhaps will be eligible by the time you are ready to marry.
00:15:42Has there been any progress between you and Mr Bridgerton?
00:15:46Mrs Varley?
00:15:48Yes, my lady.
00:15:49Have you yet searched through all the crates for my missing shoe clips?
00:15:52Ma'am, we have.
00:15:54We could not locate an additional pair.
00:15:57I had 37 pairs of shoe clips before the move.
00:15:59I now only have 36.
00:16:01I counted the last time my shoes were all cleaned.
00:16:03Perhaps you double counted a pair then?
00:16:05The two clips do all look so alike.
00:16:09These were diamond French clips.
00:16:11I do not have another pair like them.
00:16:13If you wish, I drove a hard bargain for some clips from my previous ladyship.
00:16:18I have an idea about where they went.
00:16:21I believe they were stolen.
00:16:24By one of the household servants.
00:16:29Sophie Beck.
00:16:42I cannot go back on the marriage mart.
00:16:45But I cannot avoid it if she will not speak to me.
00:16:47And it seems she will not speak to me if it is about anything other than the marriage mart.
00:16:53Perhaps we should introduce Hyacinth to John's cousin.
00:16:56I don't want to tire her out.
00:16:58Sterling is certainly tiring me out.
00:17:09Is that Benedict?
00:17:10Ah, yes.
00:17:11He sent for me.
00:17:12But now I have run into you so he will have to make do with the two of us.
00:17:15Eloise.
00:17:16Francesca.
00:17:18And Sophie.
00:17:19Good day.
00:17:20Shall we walk?
00:17:21In fact, I wish to speak with Eloise.
00:17:23I have been thinking how we might get you back into Hyacinth's good graces.
00:17:27Have you?
00:17:28I believe the answer is a feather.
00:17:31A feather?
00:17:32You know how she was always trying to steal both of your presentation feathers?
00:17:35I thought we could send you into the shop to purchase her one of her own.
00:17:38To wear for her recycling.
00:17:40Was that truly your idea?
00:17:42No.
00:17:43I had Hatch asked Mrs Wilson, but it is a good one, is it not?
00:17:46You two go on ahead.
00:17:47I will keep Sophie company.
00:17:49But I do not...
00:17:50Surely your heart will guide you to select the correct one.
00:17:53And if not, Francesca has exquisite taste.
00:18:04Sophie.
00:18:04You knew I would not speak to you at the house.
00:18:07You made Miss Bridgerton your pawn in order to see me.
00:18:09Forgive me.
00:18:11I had to see you.
00:18:12You did not answer my letter.
00:18:13Because I do not wish to see him.
00:18:15You did not answer my letter, and I understand why.
00:18:19When we were in the stairwell, I was so taken by the moment.
00:18:24Yes, I understand.
00:18:25We were both carried away.
00:18:30Is that all it was to you?
00:18:45Why have you brought me here?
00:18:46What do you want?
00:18:49I...
00:18:50I had hoped for an answer.
00:18:54To whether or not I will be your mistress.
00:18:56What?
00:18:56You truly do not know me at all.
00:18:59For if you did, you would know that being your mistress is the last thing I would ever want.
00:19:02My answer is no.
00:19:05Miss Bridgerton.
00:19:06I simply picked the first one I saw.
00:19:09I think it is an excellent choice.
00:19:10Oh.
00:19:14It is not proper for you to enter this way, Miss.
00:19:17My ladyship cannot meet with you.
00:19:19If she refuses to come down, I will scream.
00:19:21She has written about me and disrupted my life.
00:19:24I now have a right to disrupt hers.
00:19:26Ray.
00:19:28Mrs Bridgerton, I tried to send her away, but she was making a scene, so I had to bring her
00:19:32in.
00:19:32Very well.
00:19:33I asked you to make sure no one saw.
00:19:35You are Lady Whistledown.
00:19:37I am.
00:19:38What you have written about me.
00:19:39I did not name names.
00:19:40It does not matter.
00:19:42Everyone knows I am the mistress to whom you referred.
00:19:45The moth drawn to the flame.
00:19:47I only wrote what I wrote because word had already spread.
00:19:50I hoped to warn you on Mr Hiscox.
00:19:51And what about me?
00:19:52Did you not think of me?
00:19:54Everyone may have been speculating, but Whistledown made it real.
00:19:58Real for the ton.
00:20:00Real for his family.
00:20:01And now my plan to save small sums so that I could be independent the day he inevitably
00:20:05dropped me for someone prettier and younger.
00:20:08It is all gone.
00:20:12It is a terrible position that he has left you in.
00:20:16But I am not sure there is anything I can do.
00:20:21Help me.
00:20:22Please.
00:20:23Write again.
00:20:25Say it is untrue.
00:20:27Say the ton has confused me for someone else.
00:20:29Please.
00:20:29Yes, Virginia.
00:20:32It would not change anything.
00:20:34My readers would not believe me.
00:20:36You were seen together far too much.
00:20:39We were careless.
00:20:41But it is because we love one another.
00:20:47Loved.
00:20:49But it is your quill that has ruined me.
00:20:59It is unsurprising you are not feeling your best.
00:21:02Miss Sterling has kept you up nearly every night.
00:21:04We will hardly sleep tonight in preparation for her soiree tomorrow.
00:21:07It is not the lack of sleep.
00:21:10It is Parliament.
00:21:13You know, I enjoy Michaela immensely.
00:21:16She has always brought out a certain lightness in me.
00:21:21A lightness which I could use at the moment.
00:21:24Because of Parliament.
00:21:27Because of Parliament.
00:21:29The Seditious Meetings Act.
00:21:30The Clergy Residence Act.
00:21:32And all.
00:21:34And you are certain it is not because you are disappointed that we remain childless?
00:21:39I assure you.
00:21:41It is Parliament.
00:21:44It is only that we were getting along so well before she became our guest.
00:21:48Now it seems we hardly have any time together.
00:21:51I understand.
00:21:52I do miss our routine.
00:21:54But I also hate to leave Michaela unattended.
00:21:59Michaela will be well.
00:22:04Perhaps we could introduce her to some gentlemen tomorrow night.
00:22:07Then she might make her own routine.
00:22:09Please, let us not.
00:22:11I believe she is quite insistent on marching in dispenserhood.
00:22:15That is all.
00:22:24I realise I must prove myself to the Queen, but I do not love the idea of spying on the
00:22:28Bridgertons.
00:22:29I do not wish to betray their confidence.
00:22:32What?
00:22:34Mr Bridgerton can use all the help he can get.
00:22:37Trust me, he is a little confused at the moment.
00:22:40Lady Bridgerton's interests align with those of Her Majesty.
00:22:44If you are a true friend to the Bridgertons, you will realise that all this intrigue is in their best
00:22:50interest.
00:22:51Could you not talk to Lady Bridgerton for me?
00:22:53No, my dear. The point is for me to step back.
00:23:04Nicky did have an invitation to Miss Hysen's recital.
00:23:07He has not had a single dance lesson.
00:23:09Well, we all have to start somewhere.
00:23:14Hello.
00:23:27Piscotts? Are you well?
00:23:29Oh, Bridgerton!
00:23:31Two more!
00:23:34Would you like one as well? No, I shall help you with yours.
00:23:39What has happened? You do not look well.
00:23:41You are not a reading man.
00:23:43If you were, you would know of my plight.
00:23:47And my stupidity.
00:23:49You speak of Miss Virginia?
00:23:52I was forced to end things.
00:23:55To protect her, in truth, but she does not understand.
00:24:03What will you do?
00:24:05What can I do?
00:24:08As I see it, I have two options.
00:24:13There is giving up.
00:24:17And there is giving in.
00:24:20Returning to the Demimonde.
00:24:22To a midday drunk.
00:24:24To chasing sorrows in the bottom of the bottle.
00:24:28Would you like to join me in one?
00:24:36Not just yet.
00:24:46No.
00:25:14Let's see.
00:26:16What are you doing in here?
00:26:19I was... I was... I was cleaning.
00:26:25And you?
00:26:26I was around the corner, and I could not stand the thought of passing by without seeing you.
00:26:38Who is this woman to you?
00:26:44She is... someone I met one night at a ball some months ago.
00:26:51Do you have feelings for her?
00:26:55No, I did.
00:26:57Until I met you.
00:27:01Is she... someone you would have married?
00:27:04It does not matter.
00:27:08It is you that I want now, Sophie.
00:27:17Why do you find it suitable to kiss me?
00:27:23Because you are irresistible.
00:27:28But why is it suitable?
00:27:30Why was it suitable to kiss me by the lake or in the stairwell?
00:27:35Would you have found it suitable to kiss the lady that you met at that ball?
00:27:39Or would you have been a gentleman and refused to ruin her?
00:27:42Would you have asked her to be your mistress?
00:27:44Do you truly understand what you're asking me with that question?
00:27:48You are asking me to relinquish my virtue, my dignity, my self-respect,
00:27:52or to be reduced to a glorified courtesan who will never be able to marry.
00:27:56I may not be as high as a lady, but I refuse to be that low.
00:28:02As a maid, I am... respectable.
00:28:06I am necessary.
00:28:07And now here you stand attempting to rob me off that too, and for what?
00:28:10Yeah.
00:28:11Shall we please watch?
00:28:13I apologise.
00:28:14Forgive me.
00:28:15I will go.
00:28:31I do not believe I have heard the name.
00:28:33Sophie Beck.
00:28:35I knew a Mrs Brock once.
00:28:37Ah.
00:28:38Thought I might come across you a lot.
00:28:40Oh, Mrs Farley.
00:28:41What a pleasure to see you.
00:28:43You have been missed.
00:28:44Yes.
00:28:45Well, my new employer used to live on the other side of town,
00:28:48but we have just moved into the square.
00:28:51Oh, that's right.
00:28:52You're no longer at Featherington House.
00:28:55You must feel like you're on holiday with your new employer,
00:28:58compared to Lady Featherington.
00:29:01What are you implying, Rebecca?
00:29:03Well, she may not have been perfect, but neither is Lady Penwood.
00:29:08Penwood?
00:29:09I heard she runs through staff faster than tea leaves.
00:29:12She has had me dismiss more servants over the last few months than I have had in the rest of
00:29:16my career.
00:29:17Perhaps one of them is your Mrs Brock.
00:29:19Bec, Sophie Beck.
00:29:21Have you heard anything about her?
00:29:24We have recently hired her at Bridgerton House.
00:29:27Mmm, I'm not certain.
00:29:30Um, has there been some trouble with her?
00:29:32Heavens no.
00:29:33She is one of the finest maids I've ever hired.
00:29:36Diligent to a fault.
00:29:37Oh.
00:29:38I'm afraid I cannot tell you anything.
00:29:42Sophie Beck.
00:29:43I cannot say I know her, but I did used to work with another Miss Beck, many years ago.
00:30:03Very good.
00:30:05Oh, Benedict.
00:30:06Oh.
00:30:07The boys and I were just partaking in our monthly dining club when Gregory happened to stop by.
00:30:12Our wives are gathered at Dankworth House so that we might enjoy our imported cheeses.
00:30:17Mmm.
00:30:17Would you like a slice of taleggio?
00:30:22No, thank you.
00:30:23I woke up thinking today is a very good day for day drinking and came to see if you'd come
00:30:27with me.
00:30:27But I do not wish to interrupt.
00:30:29Oh, stay.
00:30:30We can have Barnes bring you a brandy if you wish.
00:30:34Gentlemen.
00:30:35We were just giving Gregory some advice on the matters of the heart.
00:30:39Ah.
00:30:39Before he attends Hisense recital, he hears a few charming young ladies will be in attendance.
00:30:46We do not often encounter the fairest sex of Teetan.
00:30:49Why have you not asked me?
00:30:50Clearly I am the more seasoned brother.
00:30:52Yes, but you are not married, so you clearly have not been the most successful.
00:30:58When I met my Philippa, I knew immediately she was the one.
00:31:01I courted Mrs. Dankworth an entire summer.
00:31:06Sometimes affection does take time to grow.
00:31:09That is the thing.
00:31:09Once I meet someone, how do I know if she's interested?
00:31:12You cannot.
00:31:13Not truly, but you must be brave and do what our eldest brother told me to do with Penelope.
00:31:19You tell her your own feelings.
00:31:22I know there is nothing more terrifying, but once you have met that young lady who is meant
00:31:28for you, who challenges you, sees you as you are, you cannot let any amount of fear stop
00:31:34you from letting your heart speak.
00:31:55We simply decided it was a sign to continue on sailing.
00:31:58And that is how one ends up on an island.
00:32:05It is a delightful party, Lady Kilmartin.
00:32:08Kind of you introduced your cousin to society.
00:32:11Yes, well, I am missing my baby sister's recital tonight, but we are obliged to act as hosts.
00:32:18She is quite a woman of passion, do you not think?
00:32:22Yes, absolutely.
00:32:24Do you want to go in?
00:32:30I cannot wait for tonight.
00:32:32Daphne told me that if a young man takes a fancy to you, he will offer to obtain a lemonade
00:32:37for you.
00:32:38We must make sure to have enough.
00:32:40What does lemonade have to do?
00:32:41No one told me about lemonade.
00:32:42Well, there will be plenty, I assure you.
00:32:45I shall check that everything is in order.
00:32:46Oh, before you go...
00:32:51I should like to tell you both that I have a friend attending tonight and he is called Lord
00:32:57Anderson.
00:32:59Lady Danbury's brother?
00:33:00Yes, yes.
00:33:02Lady Danbury cannot attend tonight, but he will because he is my friend.
00:33:09I have a friend.
00:33:15I must ensure the footman will come by with the lemonade regularly.
00:33:17What is this about lemonade?
00:33:19I don't know.
00:33:19Oh, I isn't.
00:33:20I, er, I brought you something for tonight.
00:33:23You do love feathers.
00:33:26But Sophie has already arranged my hair to my liking and I do not wish to look like the
00:33:30silly girl you think I am.
00:33:35We can begin your return to the marriage mart tonight.
00:33:38I believe there are several older brothers here as chaperones.
00:33:45Lady Bridgerton.
00:33:46Er, yes.
00:33:47I have information about Sophie.
00:33:50How?
00:33:51The housekeeper at Lady Luton's house once worked with another Miss Beck.
00:33:55Sophie's mother, surely.
00:33:57Who is from London and not Halesbury.
00:34:01Sophie has her mother's name, which likely means that...
00:34:05She is illegitimate, I would imagine.
00:34:08Mm.
00:34:09I find I am disappointed.
00:34:11I had hoped perhaps she was a legitimate nobility so that she may be suitable.
00:34:17Er, suitable?
00:34:19For what?
00:34:20Oh.
00:34:21I do not know.
00:34:23It was foolish.
00:34:24Thank you, Mrs. Wilson.
00:34:38Mrs. Varley.
00:34:40My lady.
00:34:41It is tea time.
00:34:43Yes, ma'am.
00:34:45And here is the tea.
00:34:48We should like to take evening tea in the small parlour.
00:34:51We have been waiting in there nearly an hour.
00:34:53My apologies.
00:34:55Ma'am, under my last ladyship...
00:34:58Mrs. Varley, I am not Lady Featherington.
00:35:01And frankly, I am tired of hearing about her.
00:35:04We misunderstand one another so frequently.
00:35:09Perhaps this arrangement has run its course.
00:35:12Ma'am, if you...
00:35:14If you could just give me another chance.
00:35:16To do what?
00:35:17Take advantage of my good nature again?
00:35:19To leave me without help while you spend nearly an hour at the market as you did this morning?
00:35:24I...
00:35:25I was...
00:35:27trying to gather information on the maid who wronged you this morning.
00:35:31Sophie Beck.
00:35:34And?
00:35:40I believe she is working at Bridgerton House.
00:35:43And?
00:36:46She is divine.
00:36:48And so you must be brave.
00:36:51We will begin with the long ways.
00:36:54Now the young men may approach.
00:37:10Miss Hyacinth.
00:37:12Pleasure seeing you again, Lord Kent.
00:37:18Take your places.
00:37:29Posture.
00:37:33And now, your reverence.
00:37:36Music.
00:37:38Music.
00:37:50Music.
00:37:51Music.
00:38:01Oh, my God.
00:38:22Oh, my God.
00:38:52Oh, my God.
00:39:22May I inquire about your interests?
00:39:24Well, and now we bow and curtsy and take a small break for refreshments.
00:39:39So, how did it go?
00:39:40Did you have a good conversation?
00:39:42I think I may be in love.
00:39:46I enjoyed our dance very much.
00:39:48Although I must say, I'm rather thirsty after such activity.
00:39:52As am I.
00:39:53I shall fed some lemonade.
00:40:06Sister, your footwork for the long ways was impeccable, of course.
00:40:12Oh.
00:40:12Miss Bridgestone, I've not seen you in society for some time.
00:40:15Are you making a return?
00:40:18I don't...
00:40:19Oh, look!
00:40:24Oh.
00:40:37You are here.
00:40:40I am.
00:40:42You are here with my family, and the world has not fallen apart.
00:40:51The time is right.
00:40:58Lady Bridgestone, I was wondering how things went with Benedict and Miss Hollis.
00:41:03Oh, by your neighbor.
00:41:05We had her and her mother over for tea.
00:41:08She is most amiable.
00:41:09Sadly, she is not Benedict's young lady.
00:41:12Oh.
00:41:12That is unfortunate.
00:41:14Indeed.
00:41:15In fact, I do not think he is even looking for his young lady anymore.
00:41:19Is that because there is someone else?
00:41:20No.
00:41:22No.
00:41:23No.
00:41:25Ahem.
00:41:29Sophie.
00:41:31Mr. Bridgestone, do you need something?
00:41:35No.
00:41:38I found it.
00:41:42We will begin the next dance, which our girls will dance with their chaperones.
00:41:50Are you ready, brother?
00:41:51Are you ready for our dance?
00:42:02It is always a comfort to have you in the room.
00:42:05Thank you, Lady Danbury.
00:42:06You are most welcome.
00:42:07I had hoped to be at Hyacinth Recital, but when the Queen calls...
00:42:10Yes, I had hoped to be there as well.
00:42:12But Her Majesty did insist on my bringing you in.
00:42:21Your Majesty.
00:42:23As you requested,
00:42:26Mrs. Bridgeton.
00:42:28Mrs. Bridgeton,
00:42:29I called you here because I did not like your column this week.
00:42:34Why are you no longer naming names?
00:42:36Your Majesty, I...
00:42:38And there has not been any news of Mr. Bridgeton of late.
00:42:41How are we to settle our bet if you do not write of him?
00:42:45I've had to employ Lady Danbury to do your job.
00:42:52You may answer.
00:42:57Your Majesty.
00:42:59For so long, Whistledown has brought me joy.
00:43:03And like you, I will always believe in the power of gossip.
00:43:06But since I have become known publicly,
00:43:09there has been a change.
00:43:11The power I hold over the ton,
00:43:13it is too great.
00:43:16There is an imbalance.
00:43:18I am no longer a wallflower.
00:43:20An outsider.
00:43:22I am a Bridgeton.
00:43:24I am privileged to visit the Queen.
00:43:27Whistledown takes up a space
00:43:29which makes it impossible
00:43:30to deliver good, true, fair gossip.
00:43:34And I have considered...
00:43:35Well, I was wondering if you might consider,
00:43:40knowing that you are a patron
00:43:41not only of Whistledown,
00:43:42but also of the arts,
00:43:45if you might consider letting me
00:43:48rest my column and pursue other writing.
00:43:59No.
00:44:00No, no, no.
00:44:03Why does everyone keep asking me these questions?
00:44:07I should like to retire.
00:44:17Brimsley.
00:44:34Francesca.
00:44:35I cannot thank you enough for tonight.
00:44:37We are most happy to be your hosts.
00:44:39I noticed you did not have much of a chance
00:44:42to speak to Lord Taylor.
00:44:43Miss Stirling.
00:44:45I believe we spoke, in fact.
00:44:48It was a pleasure hearing about your barley holdings.
00:44:50I do love barley.
00:44:53May I join your conversation?
00:44:56Certainly.
00:44:56We may bore you, though,
00:44:58as my cousin and I cannot stop reminiscing
00:44:59about our childhood.
00:45:00Yes, Lady Kilmartin talked a good deal
00:45:02about how much of a family woman you are.
00:45:04And I am a family man myself.
00:45:07Lady Kilmartin believes we have much in common.
00:45:12If you will excuse me, my lord,
00:45:14I could use a moment to freshen up.
00:45:27I asked you kindly not to force suitors on to Michaela.
00:45:31He expressed interest.
00:45:33I thought perhaps she might be flattered.
00:45:34That is not the point, Francesca.
00:45:41I will find her.
00:45:44I will patch this up.
00:45:59I will patch this up.
00:46:07You are upset with me.
00:46:10Why?
00:46:12Do you not remember ambushing me just now
00:46:14with an unwanted suitor?
00:46:16I apologise.
00:46:18I assumed John was
00:46:21overstating the case
00:46:22when he suggested I should not introduce you to suitors.
00:46:25My cousin asked you not to interfere
00:46:27and you did so anyway.
00:46:28Lord Taylor is a respectable gentleman.
00:46:31I was simply trying to help you find a companion.
00:46:33Francesca, you do not know me.
00:46:35So please, draw back.
00:46:38And how am I meant to know someone
00:46:39who is determined to be unknowable?
00:46:41The entire time we were in Scotland,
00:46:43you could hardly contain your chaos long enough
00:46:45to stay in one place for longer than five minutes.
00:46:47And now you turn up here
00:46:49to our home uninvited?
00:46:51How do you suggest I respond
00:46:53when you show me, my husband,
00:46:54so little respect?
00:46:56I assure you, John does not feel disrespected.
00:46:58He appreciates my chaos.
00:47:00You could do with some yourself.
00:47:01Then why has he been unwell since your return?
00:47:04Perhaps your insistence on idleness is to blame?
00:47:06You are causing him distress.
00:47:08No, I am causing you distress.
00:47:10Of course you are!
00:47:11You cannot understand what it is like
00:47:13being newly married,
00:47:15desperately wanting to be a good wife,
00:47:16all the while feeling constantly inadequate
00:47:18like there is something wrong with me.
00:47:19Must you add to that?
00:47:31You have had your housekeeper
00:47:32organise your jigsaw collection numerically.
00:47:36What could possibly be wrong with you?
00:47:43He loves you, Francesca.
00:47:47In John's eyes,
00:47:48you need never worry about being inadequate.
00:47:52I never intended to cause either of you distress.
00:47:55I'm only here because I miss my cousin.
00:47:58I worry for him when I'm away.
00:48:01We have been through so much together.
00:48:04But as he now,
00:48:05I do not have to worry.
00:48:11I do not have to worry.
00:48:16It is only...
00:48:20there are very few people I feel secure with
00:48:22and John is one of them.
00:48:35Truthfully,
00:48:41I have never seen him laugh the way he does when he is with you.
00:48:45Which is why, if I am honest,
00:48:50I'm a little envious of your chaos.
00:48:54Perhaps I can be open to it.
00:48:57As long as you do not expect me to stay up past ten o'clock.
00:49:01I may be chaotic, but I'm not struck with madness.
00:49:11Are you a little drunk?
00:49:14I knew you were more forthcoming than usual.
00:49:17You are not the only one who can be spirited.
00:49:20Well, I could use more spirited friends.
00:49:28Friends, then.
00:49:30Earlier this week, this author wrote at length
00:49:33about beings from opposing worlds.
00:49:39The draw of two differing desires can be torture at best.
00:49:46This author wonders if perhaps the desire is not the problem,
00:49:52but the world itself.
00:50:17Well, my impersonation of Lady Danbury has been a lot of failure.
00:50:21Perhaps we should leave for home?
00:50:26Where has Nicky gone?
00:50:30Run off with Gregory, surely?
00:50:32I'll try to find him.
00:50:46Are you well?
00:50:48Are you?
00:50:50I'm sorry I'm not an Eton boy.
00:50:53Turns out Eton boys are not all that astonishing.
00:50:56But surely that will change.
00:50:58And I do not wish to miss a moment in front of me.
00:51:02And let us make it a decent moment.
00:51:14We finally know who the new neighbour is.
00:51:17She left a calling card before the recital began.
00:51:19Oh?
00:51:20What is her name?
00:51:22Araminta Gunn.
00:51:23The Dowager Lady Penwood.
00:51:26Araminta Gunn is our next-door neighbour.
00:51:27She was here.
00:51:30I'm suddenly feeling poorly.
00:51:32Oh, no.
00:51:33Will you tell Mrs. Wilson I'm going to lie down for a little while?
00:51:39We will take a brief interlude before we begin with the Boulanger.
00:51:50Benedict, please help me.
00:51:53I've simply forgotten something in my room.
00:51:55Whatever is going on between the two of you, it is not appropriate.
00:51:58Mother, before you chastise me, might I inquire what you are doing with Lord Anderson?
00:52:04You are betting a man who is not your husband with your children sleeping down the hallway.
00:52:07That is none of my business, but nor is mine yours.
00:52:19It is yours.
00:52:20Sophie?
00:52:22Sophie, tell me what is wrong.
00:52:23It would be easier to inform you of what is right.
00:52:25Well, that is not an answer.
00:52:26Then I am afraid I shall not give you one.
00:52:28Now, please leave me alone.
00:52:29No, I'm not going anywhere.
00:52:31Not this time.
00:52:32I'm here for you.
00:52:33But I cannot ask you to be.
00:52:35Do you not understand that?
00:52:50I did not ask for any of this.
00:52:52I did not ask you to pursue me or to touch me or to kiss me.
00:52:57I did not ask you to show me a world that could never be mine or to let me believe
00:53:01it could be.
00:53:02Each time you show me, it hurts me.
00:53:06You hurt me.
00:53:09So please, let us stop this.
00:53:10I cannot be subjected to more.
00:53:12Sophie, please.
00:53:13I will leave first and no other servant see me.
00:53:15I do not care who sees.
00:53:16All I care about is...
00:53:17Of course you do not care who sees, but when do you stop to think about me?
00:53:19Every moment of every day.
00:53:27There is not a single moment you do not fill my mind.
00:53:32I've heard every qualm you've raised about being with me, and I wish there were some other way for us
00:53:36to be together.
00:53:39But the thought of spending a single day without you torments my soul.
00:53:46You deserve the very world.
00:53:48But how else am I to be with a woman society has made it impossible for me to be with?
00:53:52The woman I was foolish enough to fall in love with?
00:53:58What?
00:54:00I love you, Sophie.
00:54:08You cannot.
00:54:10No, I cannot.
00:54:13I cannot love a maid.
00:54:14I cannot be with a maid.
00:54:16I cannot think of a maid every waking hour, longing for a life with her.
00:54:20And yet...
00:54:23You have...
00:54:26Taken possession of me.
00:54:29Shot me back to life.
00:54:31Turn me from someone who cannot sit still for a moment to one who wishes to be in one single
00:54:36place.
00:54:37Beside you.
00:54:40For as long as I might live.
00:54:42But you will have to take a wife.
00:54:44Society, your mother, it will be expected eventually.
00:54:47I'm the second son.
00:54:48I'm not even needed as a spare anymore.
00:54:50There is already an heir.
00:54:52I would not marry.
00:54:53I could not look twice at anyone else.
00:54:57If only you would love me back.
00:55:02You will change your mind.
00:55:04Your attention will be drawn elsewhere.
00:55:06You are not that kite in my study.
00:55:12You're the person I've been searching for all my life.
00:55:17I love you.
00:55:20I love you.
00:55:24I love you.
00:55:30Of course, I love you.
00:55:36I love you.
