00:00:02Are you ready?
00:00:04As we commit Lord Kilmartin's earthly remains to their final resting place,
00:00:09we are reminded of the transient nature of life and the fragile beauty of human existence.
00:00:15May his spirit find everlasting peace in the heavenly kingdom.
00:00:28My elder brother, Anthony, he would usually be the one to speak in times like this,
00:00:31so I apologise in advance.
00:00:36Standing before you, I know I'm supposed to say something profound,
00:00:41but to be honest, I am rather at a loss.
00:00:46This is an unfathomable tragedy.
00:00:50For Lord Kilmartin's family, for my sister, Francesca,
00:00:55for my family, for all of us.
00:00:58What makes his death so difficult to bear is not just its suddenness,
00:01:04but the fact he was a good man, one of the best of us.
00:01:10Always guided by an unshakable sense of integrity.
00:01:16His devotion to his family, to his seat in Parliament, and most especially to my sister, Francesca.
00:01:24It was unwavering.
00:01:27There's nothing I can say to make sense of this loss, or to fill the void we're all feeling.
00:01:36All I can offer is this.
00:01:39We will cherish our memory of John,
00:01:44and be forever grateful to have known such an exceptional human being.
00:02:15You did well.
00:02:17Would you like a moment alone?
00:02:19It's not necessary.
00:02:20There is far too much to oversee at home.
00:02:23The servants will have everything set up.
00:02:24You might wish to spend a last moment here.
00:02:26I would like to see that all is in order.
00:02:29I will meet you at the carriage.
00:02:51It's terrible.
00:02:53It's terrible.
00:02:54It's been felt by a common headache.
00:02:55It's very, very...
00:02:57Shocking.
00:03:01indeed thank you both for coming
00:03:05is this all not rather morbid it is a funeral it is not morbid it is proper because heaven forbid
00:03:15to death be anything but orderly lady danbury francesca lord kilmartin was a fine man
00:03:25i liked him very much yes i did as well obviously please do enjoy the refreshments
00:03:36in my condolences to you and to you
00:03:42these arrived from anthony and kate do you thank you some of my children feel devastated they are
00:03:51unable to attend much of our family also could not travel down from scotland in time
00:03:55i am most relieved i was already in london and most appreciative to volunteer to host the reception
00:04:02today
00:04:05i would have hosted at kilmartin house but i thought the servants here might be better
00:04:08there is no need to explain i could not imagine hosting when my husband died it was my honor
00:04:15your son was the cherished part of this family he adored your francesca i will never forget when
00:04:22he came home the night being met stars in his eyes oh no is this too overwhelming no i
00:04:30you're running out of biscuits that is all biscuits the guests will expect them please excuse me
00:04:41for you
00:04:44you've been so attentive to francesca i thought i might tend to you this is very kind of you
00:04:57is this what papa's funeral was like i was not born the rest of you got to be there you
00:05:03were there
00:05:04you're in mama's belly
00:05:07biscuit
00:05:15francesca surely your servant will help with those
00:05:18please allow me thank you but i am quite capable
00:05:28let us all have a biscuit shall we
00:05:30do you know what are in these i have always wondered
00:05:34no
00:05:37a treacle i imagine what else do you think i taste vanilla something spicy tindra maybe
00:05:46flour probably a little salt and perhaps um mr bridgerton
00:05:57ladies
00:05:57our deepest condominences
00:05:59oh thank you for being truly all right sister
00:06:02i'm so sorry please i can't believe he's gone
00:06:12lady kilmartin
00:06:14your hair it is coming undone perhaps we might go upstairs and i can attend to it for you
00:06:44thank you
00:06:45for giving me some respite
00:06:48i'm simply doing my job my lady if only i were doing mine
00:06:53i think you were doing admirably
00:06:58at my father's funeral there was a very large tray of pickled salmon
00:07:03all i could do was think how my father detested pickled salmon i wanted to throw the tray and scream
00:07:10and did you
00:07:14i came close
00:07:17but i realized we all know different versions of the same person
00:07:21perhaps someone thought he loved pickled salmon
00:07:24the best any of us can do is honor the memories of those we have loved
00:07:29and let them live on through us
00:07:31how does one do that
00:07:34well i always try to think logically like my father and for my mother i wear her necklace
00:07:44i must have forgotten it today
00:07:52i thank you for your help
00:07:57i had better retire while my mother will fear i have fled
00:08:01if you need more respite
00:08:04simply give me a nod and i will slip some brandy in your drink
00:08:20not even an invitation to funeral from the bridgetons the reputation for warmth is undeserved
00:08:27at least rosamond has a new suitor and one of rather high rank even
00:08:32we are fortunate that lord stotter's interest
00:08:35you don't know how distraught your sister has been after failing to capture mr bridgeton's affection
00:08:39she had her heart set on that match
00:08:41perhaps it is for the best she and mr bridgeton may not have been well suited
00:08:45rosamond is well suited to anyone she could charm a statue
00:08:50if it were not for sophie's interference
00:08:51sophie
00:08:57is that why we went looking for sophie at bridgeton house the other week
00:09:00because you suspect she has formed an attachment to mr bridgeton it would not be the first time
00:09:04she interfered in our lives
00:09:09do you know where sophie is working posy
00:09:14no i i hardly know how to stitch my embroidery in the right direction let alone keep track of sophie's
00:09:19whereabouts very well i will have to find her myself then
00:09:26and you enjoy dancing the cotillion is my favorite dance my governess said i was excelling at all forms
00:09:33i prefer wolves why do you prefer wolves
00:09:52what are you doing out here it's very cold
00:09:55uh i nearly wanted to feel something other than despair so i chose to feel cold
00:10:03is it helping not particularly
00:10:08they're in need of more mint for the refreshments and shall leave you be shortly
00:10:14it was kind of you to stay for the funeral
00:10:18you've been a great comfort to eloise and hyacinth
00:10:26as have you they are very fortunate to have you you know
00:10:36i'm so sorry for your loss
00:10:42it's all right sophie you are not required to give me comfort
00:10:44i know that i know it is not a condition of my employment but
00:10:50my heart is breaking for you
00:10:54for all of you
00:11:01who are still planning on leaving
00:11:05at the end of the week
00:11:07after the family has had some time
00:11:08yes of course as you should
00:11:14i wish you luck sophie
00:11:19please go inside i cannot send you off to your new position with influenza
00:11:28i can stay a moment no forgive me
00:11:36i'm trying desperately to be strong for my family for francesca on this dreadful day
00:11:44and if you stay i am afraid i will not be able to hold it together
00:11:50i understand
00:12:01i do not see you again
00:12:06goodbye mr bridgerton
00:12:12goodbye sophie
00:12:40my entire life i have found comfort in silence
00:12:44presumably because i never found any growing up amongst all my siblings
00:12:50but now
00:12:55now i should be grateful if you might fill it
00:12:57i dare say this is the longest i have ever seen you go without talking
00:13:03i am merely enjoying the peace of not having to listen to one more stranger apologize for my loss
00:13:10everyone is simply trying to be respectful yes
00:13:14i realize it is proper here to speak in euphemisms and act as if we are statues in the face
00:13:21of death
00:13:24you know in scotland a life lost is celebrated instead of mourned everyone eats drinks
00:13:36tell stories of the dead cries and laughs is that not a little
00:13:46indulgent in fact it can be rather cathartic joyful even perhaps we could
00:13:55still have a celebration for a smaller group here at kilmartin house i'm sorry if you found the funeral lacking
00:14:02you did a splendid job francesca
00:14:07i was merely suggesting a celebration so that john might be remembered not for his death but for
00:14:12his life i knew john better than i know myself and i truly believe he would not want to be
00:14:17the cause of tears or sorrow
00:14:19he was a scotsman he would not want to be mourned by strangers he would
00:14:24want his life rejoiced at by family friends his wife he would want for us to get up and dance
00:14:29and
00:14:29john does not want anything he is dead gone and turning his funeral into a circus will not change that
00:14:58it meant a great deal having you at the funeral i do not know what we will do without you
00:15:04agatha i'm
00:15:05not leaving for another two weeks so there are plenty of goodbyes still to say and i will not be
00:15:12gone
00:15:12forever i am happy for you i think i am still in disbelief that the queen granted me leave to
00:15:19go
00:15:21i hear you are making a life change of your own with my brother you you know i do not
00:15:28believe
00:15:29he told anyone else he would have been a fool not to ask i am delighted for you both thank
00:15:38you
00:15:39um only i am violet is everything all right yes yes of course i i uh i simply feel that
00:15:52in the
00:15:52wake of john's passing your mind is on francesca indeed i'm rather concerned that she is not allowing
00:16:02herself to grieve give her time we both know it is a winding and illogical road to mourn a lost
00:16:13love
00:16:14she's not in her right mind
00:16:28are you all right sophie you look as though you did not sleep awake i lost my necklace i spent
00:16:32half
00:16:33the night searching for it what does it look like it is a silver chain with an amethyst pendant do
00:16:38you
00:16:38know when you last saw it i have no idea i hardly notice when i'm wearing it as i so
00:16:42rarely take it off
00:16:43deliveries are here make haste i'll look out for it sophie perhaps this is the heavens telling you
00:16:52that you should not leave us for penwood house no it is merely telling me that i have been unforgivably
00:16:57careless i've been so caught up i lost the only piece of my mother i ever had we will find
00:17:03it
00:17:13will michaela be joining us i do not believe so we are giving each other space which suits me quite
00:17:22well as i am rather busy with my correspondence to john's relatives surely you do not least write
00:17:27all of them now people deserve to know writing certainly can be cathartic sometimes when i'm feeling
00:17:34lost i find that writing steadies me i am steady
00:17:45francesca you do not need to be you are amongst family if you would like to
00:17:50throw something or scream heloise please that is not how i wish to proceed i should like to stay
00:17:56calm but you need not yes i do
00:18:03i am with child
00:18:07my courses were supposed to arrive days ago but they never came
00:18:12that is splendid news john has left me with a gift a piece of himself just as father left mother
00:18:19with hyacinth so if i must remain calm for the sake of our child and the future of the kilmartin
00:18:24line
00:18:25so be it it is a worthy cause
00:18:30i'm delighted for you sister thank you but let us just keep this between ourselves for now until i speak
00:18:39to
00:18:39the men from the house of lords of course
00:18:47how is lady kilmartin faring she is faring as best she can i imagine
00:18:54it is quite a cruel twist of fate to lose one's husband at such a tender age
00:19:00i imagine it cruel to lose one's husband at any age and yet for some of us a release
00:19:09what was she wearing at the funeral lady kilmartin if one must endure i do hope she
00:19:16at least was enduring in a marvelous ensemble she looked quite elegant
00:19:24these bonbons do not taste the same it is a shame when a good thing changes you know charlotte
00:19:33there is a fortnight yet before i leave yes i know i should like the bonbons from switzerland instead
00:19:41perhaps i should arrange for some new exotic animal to be imported for the grounds
00:19:47i will write charlotte
00:19:54i am sad agatha
00:19:58it is a sad time
00:20:00yes goodbyes are never easy particularly as i have just bid farewell to whistledown
00:20:09she would have written something profound about lord kilmartin's passing not to mention a detailed
00:20:16report of the funereal fashions beyond elegant it would have been something to look forward to
00:20:25i miss her
00:20:29mrs mondridge i should like to hold mercury now
00:20:36your majesty
00:20:40oh she is quite excitable
00:20:44perhaps the bitch needs some water to cool down
00:21:00there you are
00:21:02here i am
00:21:04i hope i am not interrupting
00:21:07i have just sent word to the house of lords to arrange their visit with francesca concerning the kilmartin estate
00:21:13i will attend as well of course thank you
00:21:16well for all you have done in anthony's absence
00:21:22are you all right
00:21:24there's not me you should be worrying about
00:21:25well you're most fortunate that sophie remained to help i do hope she'll be content
00:21:29please do not bring her up i know i know it has been a difficult week
00:21:32not today please
00:21:36it is all a tad hypocritical do you not think
00:21:40what is hypocritical
00:21:41you
00:21:43you spent our entire lives claiming the one thing that matters is marrying a love match
00:21:48for years i did not understand it nor want it in fact i ran from it
00:21:52and now
00:21:55now i have found someone i love more than i could even have thought possible someone
00:22:00captivating and maddening and real just as you wanted just as daphne and anthony and colin and
00:22:05francesca you love her it does not signify does it she is not of the right class so i cannot
00:22:10be with
00:22:11her not truly i must let her go as if she means nothing tell me is that what you would
00:22:15have done had
00:22:16father been of the lower classes tossed your love aside to search for someone of proper breeding
00:22:23forgive me
00:22:30where is it
00:22:39are you looking for something
00:22:42no
00:22:44lady bridgerton i simply noticed some dust pardon me
00:22:51i wanted to thank you for staying on to help with the funeral
00:22:54oh it is the least i could do
00:22:57i do regret that i'm leaving at such a difficult time
00:23:00well you must do what is best for you
00:23:07i don't want to do what is best for you
00:23:07sophie
00:23:11is it because of benedict that you feel you must depart
00:23:17why did you not dismiss me well perhaps i should have done but i like you
00:23:22you're the sort of woman i would like for my son if i were not a maid
00:23:30you must know it is not mr bridgerton's fault your son is a good man i i knew better
00:23:37sophie
00:23:39if there is perhaps something about your history that you have not shared
00:23:44your accent your education your proclivity for languages perhaps
00:23:49if there is something that you are running from
00:23:57that you have not shared with your family
00:23:58i am a maid
00:24:01i am not a suitable match for your son
00:24:06i wish the world were different
00:24:17leave me alone
00:24:18so well get out
00:24:22i tried talking sense into hyacinth but she is highly unreasonable mother should have stopped at seven
00:24:33what is going on in here i am simply ridding myself of things i do not need as i have
00:24:39decided
00:24:39to delay my debut or perhaps not to make my debut at all not same curtains same ceiling yet surely
00:24:45i am
00:24:45in a foreign land what is the point of finding love when your husband will probably die
00:24:54so this is about john
00:24:57it's only john
00:24:59father
00:25:00even lord featherington all gone
00:25:03i have been taken up with foolish fantasies
00:25:05when all love truly brings is hardship and sorrow
00:25:10i suppose it is
00:25:13difficult
00:25:13well i for one want no part of it
00:25:15i have finally seen the wisdom in what you have been telling me
00:25:19you were right all along sister
00:25:35how is francesca
00:25:37oh what she is going through i would not wish on anyone
00:25:42shall we
00:25:47losing someone unexpectedly it is as if your very breath is is ripped from you your entire reality is
00:25:54shifted within the blink of an eye
00:25:56it is natural you must be thinking of edmund
00:25:59yes i happen
00:26:01i think about nester every day
00:26:05anything you need
00:26:07i'm here for you
00:26:13there is one thing i must request
00:26:18i was wondering if we might keep our betrothal to ourselves for a while only because i do not want
00:26:23our happy news to overshadow say no more i've told only my sister otherwise we
00:26:31we shall wait
00:26:48happy what are you doing here looking for you you are so eager to see me that you cannot wait
00:26:53until my return to penwood house i am flattered that is why i've been trying to find you
00:26:58i gave the new lady penwood your note about delaying your start till after the funeral but
00:27:02she would not wait she hired someone else i i'm sorry what no i have already given my notice
00:27:10to lady bridgerton surely she will not mind if you stay on a little longer i cannot
00:27:15seeing mr bridgerton it is torture alfie i only want to come home to you um a rums heat is
00:27:21all my
00:27:21want i know we all wanted that but we will find you another position there are so few just now
00:27:26well i've heard of one opening for a house made on britain street that is far too close to
00:27:30bridgerton house perhaps i should return to the country i have heard of one other position
00:27:37a family in mayfair is in need of a lady's maid to help them move
00:27:41their servants speak very highly of them i can do that you know i am skilled at
00:27:46they're moving to the americans you would need to be on a ship in three days
00:27:54yes
00:28:09francesca this is mr dundas from the house of lords good day good day
00:28:15my condolences for your loss and apologies for the timing of this visit lady kilmartin
00:28:20it's procedure quite right despite the circumstances it is of the utmost importance
00:28:25the lines of succession are followed to the letter your brother has been a tremendous help with the
00:28:30paperwork i'll be speaking with the sterling family next but of course there is one question i must ask
00:28:37you first as a formality really i am with child sister that is wonderful news indeed
00:28:50well then i shall alert the physician for an examination at once examination well yes we must
00:28:57have confirmation but can you not simply take her word for it of course lady kilmartin your word is of
00:29:02great value it is only that the crown has grown quite stringent when it comes to succession there
00:29:07is an estate and title at stake not to mention a seat in parliament i i do not wish to
00:29:12have an
00:29:12examination my sister has been through a great loss mr dundas any examination will have to wait
00:29:17believe me i sympathize but this is the way society demands things be done i've had quite
00:29:22enough of the demands of society and his utterly antiquated way of doing things this is an honorable
00:29:28family you have no idea of the sacrifices we have made to maintain that honor i'll not stand here
00:29:34and let you pressure my sister after the nightmare she's been through
00:29:40i assure you lady kilmartin it will be swift and dignified and then we can all take comfort in knowing
00:29:47for
00:29:47certain
00:30:02so
00:30:12so
00:30:12so
00:30:12so
00:30:12so
00:30:52Forgive me, I heard a noise.
00:30:54I did not mean to startle you.
00:30:57I have been tasked with organising John's affairs and I've misplaced a document.
00:31:03You need not explain.
00:31:05Please, I will do it.
00:31:09It's been a hell of a week.
00:31:12I know.
00:31:15Every time I see you, I'm conscious it may be the last.
00:31:19And I hated how we said goodbye at the funeral.

00:35:07Or even half of the answers.
00:35:11They only need you to love them.
00:35:43Mrs. Wilson told me you were still here.
00:35:48Mother, I was just about to take my leave.
00:35:53Shall I pour you a drink?
00:35:55A strong one, perhaps.
00:36:18I owe you an apology.
00:36:19You know, I have been thinking about your father quite a lot.
00:36:23Of course.
00:36:24That you were also very unlucky to lose him when you did.
00:36:27You were so young.
00:36:29But for me, in many ways, I was lucky.
00:36:36I had a great love for a very long time.
00:36:43And I was lucky.
00:36:44Some people never get that.
00:36:51After everything that has transpired, I have found myself reflecting quite a lot about love.
00:37:01About time not always being on our side.
00:37:05I did not realise how strongly you felt about Sophie.
00:37:09I assumed it was a flirtation, a dalliance.
00:37:12I never imagined it.
00:37:13I should never have allowed it to go that far.
00:37:15Starting a life with someone from another class is no easy feat.
00:37:19You would have to move to the country.
00:37:21Yes.
00:37:21We had discussed such plans.
00:37:24I would have gone back and forth.
00:37:26No, no.
00:37:26There would be no going back and forth.
00:37:27You would be ostracised by society, both of you.
00:37:31You would have to move there permanently.
00:37:34I imagine that would be a rather startling transition for someone who has lived a life as well-liked and
00:37:40privileged as you.
00:37:42It is important that you understand.
00:37:45Because there is one crucial sacrifice you will have to make.
00:37:52Your family.
00:37:54And that is not to say that we shall not speak, but it will mostly be confined to letters.
00:38:00We will not be able to visit as often as we might like.
00:38:04As it could impact your sister's prospects for marriage if we are believed to nurture a close relationship.
00:38:10So you will miss birthdays and weddings and...
00:38:15Stop it, please.
00:38:16There is truly no need for this.
00:38:19Sophie does not want to be with me.
00:38:20Oh, I very much doubt that is the case if you ask her to marry.
00:38:28How strong did I pour that drink?
00:38:29What you said...
00:38:32was correct.
00:38:34All I have ever wanted for my children was to find love.
00:38:37So if you have found it, you deserve to go after it before it is too late.
00:38:43If you marry Sophie, it will never change how much I love you, Benedict.
00:38:52And with that, sir, I know, my son, I know, my son, I know that at times you can be...
00:39:01Oh, dare I say it, a non-committal.
00:39:05Hmm.
00:39:07Well, no, you must have me mistaken for one of your other children.
00:39:17Promise me you will think very carefully before making a decision.
00:39:21And whatever you choose, you must live with it forever.
00:39:28We all will.
00:39:29I know, I know.
00:40:03We shall find you a dress that cannot be ignored.
00:40:07Lord Stotter will have no choice but to propose.
00:40:13I did not realise I was a jester.
00:40:17Apologies, Mama. It is only the thought of a mere dress so bewitching that a gentleman loses his free will.
00:40:24Must be quite the magical dress indeed.
00:40:26It will be. When I wear it, I look forward to seeing it.
00:40:30In fact, I think it wise you stay behind today.
00:40:33Your sister and I will have a lengthy appointment at the Modiste and then we may speak to the Magistrate
00:40:38afterwards to see if he has heard any word of Sophie or my shoe clips being pawned.
00:40:42I am certain you will enjoy some time here.
00:40:47Understood.
00:41:02Well, I should be leaving now to check on the household orders.
00:41:07Shall I get you anything while I am out?
00:41:09No, thank you, Bali.
00:41:12I should like to take the afternoon to read.
00:41:15Oh.
00:41:16In private.
00:41:17In private.
00:41:18In private.
00:41:33In private.
00:41:34In private.
00:41:53Miss Posey, shall I have some tea prepared for you?
00:42:11Posey, what are you doing here?
00:42:13Sophie!
00:42:18I escaped out the drawing room window.
00:42:20I did not want to risk the servant's seeing.
00:42:22Then when I arrived, I told that handsome footman
00:42:24that I misplaced my glove when we came for tea,
00:42:26and as he went to look, I ran up here.
00:42:28I assumed your room would be up in the attic like most ladies' maids,
00:42:30though I had to check in three different rooms before I found yours,
00:42:33and thank goodness no one else was up here.
00:42:35I do not believe I've ever felt so exhilarated in my...
00:42:39I am rambling, and I do not have time.
00:42:42I came to warn you that we have moved in next door,
00:42:44and my mama is intent on finding you.
00:42:47She does not know you live here now, as I have covered for you,
00:42:49but she means to have you arrested for the shoe clips.
00:42:56And she will surely find me if I stay in Mayfair,
00:42:59even if I leave Bridgerton House.
00:43:02I'm so sorry, Sophie.
00:43:03The shoe clips are my fault.
00:43:06It was very brave of you to come, thank you,
00:43:08but you must get back.
00:43:12I wish I had said this to you before,
00:43:15but the things she has always said about you,
00:43:18about your mother,
00:43:20they are cruel and untrue.
00:43:23That is kind of you to say.
00:43:24I would not have survived in that house without you.
00:43:27You were always so kind and courageous.
00:43:31You have the strongest will of anyone I have ever known.
00:43:35Perhaps you get that from your mother.
00:43:42There is a job in the Americas.
00:43:44It will keep me safe from your mother.
00:43:46I will be on a ship in two days,
00:43:48and with any luck,
00:43:49she and I shall never see each other again.
00:43:53I will miss you.
00:43:59Do not let her get the better of you.
00:44:01You have a strong will of your own.
00:44:04Now go.
00:44:24Are you going to play something?
00:44:28Benedict.
00:44:30I did not realise you were here.
00:44:34I wanted to see how you are.
00:44:39You have already taken on more than enough
00:44:41by tending to the estate.
00:44:45I should have compelled Mr. Dunnors
00:44:48to delay the examination.
00:44:50I am sorry.
00:44:51I could not do more.
00:44:52It would not have changed the outcome.
00:44:57John wished for a child,
00:44:58and I could not give him one.
00:45:14You are rather good.
00:45:16This is all I know.
00:45:18When you were very young,
00:45:20I would play this to make you laugh.
00:45:22I hoped it might still work.
00:45:27You should have pursued piano for a day.
00:45:31One of many things.
00:45:34You do not give yourself enough credit, Benedict.
00:45:42John may have wanted a child, but above all else, he wanted you.
00:45:50It was plain as day to anyone around you, how much joy you brought him.
00:45:56You lit up his entire world.
00:46:05Trust me, it was almost insufferable for the rest of us.
00:46:09You do not give him.
00:46:20You are not happy.
00:46:21You are not happy.
00:46:24I am happy.
00:46:24You are happy.
00:46:34You are happy.
00:46:41I thought doing things the proper way made it the correct way.
00:46:50I thought if I acted as though I was fine, I would be.
00:46:55But I am exhausted.
00:46:57I should like to feel some joy.
00:47:02I want to celebrate Don's life.
00:47:05Will you help me?
00:47:10What do you mean you lost her?
00:47:13She must have climbed out of the window, ma'am.
00:47:16I mean, how was I to know the girl possessed such agility?
00:47:18You were supposed to follow her to see if she would lead us to Sophie.
00:47:25Posie, how was your day?
00:47:27Well spent, was it?
00:47:30I suppose so.
00:47:31I read a novel.
00:47:40I wish to speak to you.
00:47:53I owe you an apology.
00:47:55I've let my distress about Sophie and the season get the better of me.
00:47:57And at times, perhaps, I have unfairly vended my frustrations on you.
00:48:03Yes, well, I have grown quite accustomed to it.
00:48:07It started long before Sophie left.
00:48:13You know, I was much like you when I was younger.
00:48:16It is obviously Rosamond who is most similar to you.
00:48:18Now, but before my debut.
00:48:21Before the marriage part.
00:48:23I was like you.
00:48:25Joyful.
00:48:26Optimistic.
00:48:27I was like, unconcerned with propriety.
00:48:31Clumsy.
00:48:32I was lucky your father chose me, considering I hardly knew how to curtsy properly.
00:48:39And then he died.
00:48:41Do you know what it is like for a young lady with two small girls to re-enter the marriage
00:48:45part?
00:48:46I was already damaged goods, so I could not afford a single misstep.
00:48:52I had to be perfect in every way.
00:48:54I was lucky to find a second match.
00:48:56A love match.
00:48:58With that.
00:49:01But then Sophie appeared.
00:49:03And once again, I could not produce an heir.
00:49:08And then he died as well.
00:49:10Mama.
00:49:14Do not feel sorry for me.
00:49:18I clearly carry some kind of curse.
00:49:26But I refuse to pass it down to you, Rosamond.
00:49:29Which is why I insist on perfection.
00:49:32And this match with Lord Stotter, if your sister can see it through, it may be the tide
00:49:38that raises all our boats.
00:49:44But not if Lord Stotter were ever to find out about our connection to Sophie.
00:49:48That you and Rosamond were both raised with a bastard child at your side.
00:49:52She is the stain on our name, Posie.
00:49:55And they thought that she has been at Bridgeton House all this time, seducing the man that
00:50:00your sister had her heart set on.
00:50:03I thought we confirmed that she is not at Bridgeton House.
00:50:08I thought so as well.
00:50:10But Farley saw her at the market today.
00:50:14Wearing a Bridgeton House uniform.
00:50:19You need not go after her, Mama.
00:50:22She is leaving for the Americas.
00:50:24She will leave Bridgeton House soon and you can forget all about her.
00:50:30I see.
00:50:43What am I to do without you?
00:50:46I cannot believe you're abandoning us of Penwood House.
00:50:50Who will help me keep this one in line if you are gone?
00:50:54Somehow I think you'll be up to the task.
00:51:04What?
00:51:05Do not give me that look.
00:51:06Not when you were still pretending to go to Penwood House rather than departing for the
00:51:10Americas tomorrow.
00:51:11Shh.
00:51:12It will only make saying goodbye that much harder.
00:51:14And I do not want to detract from Lady Kilmartin's event tonight.
00:51:18When must you leave?
00:51:19Whilst the Bridgetons are out.
00:51:21I aim to aid my new employees in finishing their packing this evening.
00:51:24What about your mother's necklace?
00:51:26You said you could not leave it.
00:51:27In many ways, I think I wore it all these years not to honour her.
00:51:32But as a reminder of her mistakes.
00:51:35Perhaps it is time to let it go and leave the past with it.
00:51:38You can do that without crossing the ocean, you know.
00:51:41I must get the ladies ready for the festivities.
00:52:04Thank you all for coming.
00:52:09It has been a harrowing set of days, to say the least.
00:52:13But tonight, to steal away with grief and remember the remarkable man that John was.
00:52:19I shall go first.
00:52:21John was my greatest friend and partner in mischief since birth.
00:52:26He was genuine, determined and had patience fit for a saint to tolerate my nature.
00:52:32More like the patience of ten saints.
00:52:37He was my guiding light, my compass.
00:52:40We were opposite ends of the pendulum, yet somehow we balanced each other.
00:52:45I will miss you, dear cousin, more than you will ever know.
00:52:54Do not feel obligated, but if anyone would like to speak.
00:53:01To John.
00:53:02A kind of gentleman I have never known.
00:53:07I always admired how deliberate John was.
00:53:10He thought through everything with such care.
00:53:13Unless, of course, you've got some brandy in him.
00:53:15In which case, well, look out.
00:53:19He was exceptionally nimble-footed.
00:53:22You should have seen him climbing trees as a boy.
00:53:25Went up so high, I feared we would never get him down again.
00:53:31John may have been a man of few words, but he saved them for when they counted the most.
00:53:37He knew the power of a gesture, that actions speak louder.
00:53:42He showed his heart with a love he gave to Fran.
00:53:46To all of us.
00:53:48He shall be missed dearly, but never forgotten.
00:53:53To John.
00:53:54To John.
00:53:55To John.
00:53:57Now, perhaps we might...
00:53:59I would like to speak.
00:54:07It seems inconceivable that he is gone.
00:54:18I had our entire lives planned.
00:54:20I thought I knew exactly what the future held.
00:54:24And now, it was only a headache.
00:54:28How could a headache take my husband away?
00:54:31For days, all I could think was how it is not fair.
00:54:34John was a good man.
00:54:35He deserved a better fate, a longer life.
00:54:39But that is not how I wish to remember him.
00:54:44It is quite something to spend your entire life feeling like you are somehow out of place.
00:54:49And then, to meet someone who understands you before you even say a word.
00:54:55Someone whose singular qualities match your own.
00:55:01Whose kindness makes you feel warm.
00:55:05You can read your mind from across the whole room.
00:55:09John was more than my husband.
00:55:10He was my truest friend.
00:55:12And I may ache at present, but...
00:55:19The good John brought into my life.
00:55:21That bond, that understanding, love.
00:55:25Far outweighs any pain I feel right now.
00:55:27But, I would not change it.
00:55:31For anything.
00:55:34To my husband.
00:55:48I thought I might perform a Scottish highland dance that John and I learned as children.
00:55:55Fran, will you join me?
00:55:58Yes.
00:56:05Right.
00:56:05This is the stag, everyone.
00:56:14Wonderful.
00:56:16Wonderful.
00:56:17Right.
00:56:18Then we'll go into spinning.
00:56:19And spin.
00:56:22Right.
00:56:23Well, do not leave us up here dancing alone.
00:56:26Grab a partner.
00:56:28Come on.
00:56:28Pair up, pair up.
00:56:29Put your drinks down.
00:56:30Mother.
00:56:31Good.
00:56:31Get into the stag, everyone.
00:56:34One.
00:56:35Two.
00:56:35Three.
00:56:35Four.
00:56:37Wonderful.
00:56:39And spin.
00:56:42Lovely arm.
00:56:47Switch.
00:56:50Touch the beginning.
00:56:53Tag.
00:56:54And let's go.
00:57:01Spin.
00:57:02And spin.
00:57:06Switch partners.
00:57:23Excuse me, Mother.
00:57:24Where are you going?
00:57:25There is something I have to take care of at Bridgeton House.
00:57:28But you could not wait.
00:57:29I have waited long enough already.
00:57:31Wait.
00:57:33I have left something for you in your desk.
00:57:36It was my grandmother's.
00:57:40Go.
00:57:41Go.
00:57:41Go.
00:57:48Go, go, go, go.
00:58:01Ch nugget.
01:00:42Are you certain?
01:00:43She went to stay with them tonight as they planned to board a ship at dawn.
01:00:46What is the name of the family?
01:00:47I'm afraid I do not know, sir.
01:00:48She would not tell me.
01:00:55Sophie Beck, constable, this is the thief I was telling you about.
01:00:59Unfortunately, we no longer have to disturb the Bridgetons.
01:01:02We shall take that.
01:01:04Place your hands behind your back.
01:01:06No, please, sir, this is a terrible mistake.
01:01:08I shall explain.
01:01:09Sophie Beck, you are hereby arrested on suspicion of thievery and of impersonating nobility.
01:01:14Wait, wait.
01:01:14No, no.
01:01:16Araminta.
01:01:17Araminta!
01:01:18Do not...
01:01:18Araminta!
01:01:22Araminta, please!
01:01:23Araminta, please!
01:01:50Araminta, please!
01:01:55Araminta, please!
01:01:56Araminta, please!
01:01:58Araminta, please!
01:02:01Araminta, please!
01:02:02Araminta, please!
01:02:04Araminta, please!
01:02:06Araminta, please!
01:02:07Araminta, please!
01:02:08Araminta, please!
01:02:09Araminta, please!
01:02:10Araminta, please!
01:02:11Araminta, please!
01:02:11Araminta, please!
01:02:12Araminta, please!
01:02:16Araminta, please!
01:02:20Araminta, please!
