03:37Anthony, you are here?
03:38Of course I'm here, sister
03:39I've never missed such an important day for you and our family
03:41No, you would just be late for it
03:43No, you would just be late for it
03:46Shall we?
03:55Today is a most important day
03:59And for some, a terrifying one
04:01For today is the day London's marriage-minded misses
04:06Are presented to her majesty, the Queen
04:10May God have mercy on their souls
04:15Miss Prudence Featherington
04:18Miss Philippa Featherington
04:22And Miss Penelope Featherington
04:26All presented by their mother
04:29The right honourable Lady Featherington
04:35She was here
04:40They are coming to her family
04:50She is happy to be here
04:55She is happy to be here
04:57She is happy to be here
04:59She is happy to be here
05:02Es solo la luz de la Queen que importa hoy.
05:08Una glimbra de despleasure.
05:12Y una señora de la valoración plummets a un pensamiento.
05:18¡No!
05:22¡Mis Daphne Bridgerton!
05:26¡Presenta por la madre, la Honorable Right Honorable...
05:30The Dowager Viscountess Bridgerton.
06:28The Dowager Viscountess Bridgerton.
06:30The Dowager Viscountess Bridgerton.
07:00But, as we know, the brighter a lady shines, the faster she may burn.
07:47The Dowager Viscountess Bridgerton.
08:14It has been said that of all bitches, dead or alive, a scribbling woman is the most canine.
08:23If that should be true, then this author would like to show you her teeth.
08:30My name is Lady Whistledown.
08:34You do not know me, and rest assured you never shall.
08:37But be forewarned, dear reader.
08:40I certainly know you.
08:47You absolutely sparkled, sister.
08:49Come now, I'm nearly simpered and minced in a pretty dress like everyone else.
08:53Not exactly like everyone else.
08:55No, I shouldn't need to go and visit with Penelope.
08:57That presentation was anything but...
08:58What was it the Queen called you again?
09:00Flawless.
09:01Or some such thing.
09:03Trust her, it was astonished.
09:04Her Majesty offered me out of 200 young ladies present the most gracious remark.
09:09Yes, it was quite a distinction.
09:11And now, 200 young ladies have a common adversary.
09:14I wish you luck, sister.
09:15Eloise.
09:15What?
09:16It is true.
09:17My success on the marriage mark influences all of your prospects.
09:20We will all need to find love one day.
09:23Indeed.
09:24Our love is pure as what my ma and papa want, Chad.
09:27If we are so fortunate.
09:29I really hope I'm able to continue such a grand tradition.
09:33Your dresses have arrived.
09:34Oh!
09:39This one is quite ravishing.
09:41Mary Edgecombe wore a similar shade last season.
09:43Anne secured three offers the very next day.
09:45Wonderful now.
09:47Mary Edgecombe, now the Countess of Fulton,
09:49apparently spent the last year living in a cottage hundreds of miles away from her earl.
09:53She is miserable.
09:55It says it all here.
09:56Do not tell me that is yet another scandal sheet.
09:58Eloise.
09:58No, no, no.
09:58This one is different.
09:59This one lists subjects by name in full.
10:02Let me see.
10:03Wait.
10:07Lady Whistledown.
10:08Lady Whistledown.
10:09The author.
10:10Do we know her Lady Whistledown?
10:11Surely Lady Whistledown could not be her true name.
10:14What does it say, dearie?
10:16She loathes the fact that we've been named alphabetically oldest to youngest.
10:19Your father and I found it orderly.
10:21Lady Whistledown finds banality.
10:23The papers were distributed across town today without charge.
10:25Without charge?
10:26Well, what kind of order?
10:30Well, at least she has one thing, right?
10:32She has named Daphne as the season's incomparable.
10:35She calls you a diamond of the first water.
10:37Oh, how lovely.
10:41I should not be surprised if this Whistledown is revealed to be Violet Bridgerton herself.
10:47These pages certainly report on the Viscountess's family with much indulgence indeed.
10:52The pages report nothing but the truth, Lady Fetterington.
10:55Daphne has bloomed exquisitely, and the sooner she is taken from the market, the better for the other young ladies.
11:01Even ones prone to hysterics in front of the Queen.
11:07Ladies, hurry with your miniatures before our guests arise.
11:10And Penelope, put down that book at once.
11:11You shall confuse your thoughts.
11:15So, tell me about this cousin, joining you for the entire season.
11:19She is a distant cousin of my husband, and with no close female relative to sponsor her debut,
11:25Lord Featherington has directed me to take her in for charity.
11:31You are known to be quite charitable.
11:34Precisely what this new rumour monger should have published,
11:36instead of erroneously specifying that I shall only have three young ladies under my care this year.
11:41She knows nothing.
11:42Unless you shall like to have only three young ladies under your care.
11:46I should gladly sit this season out.
11:49Penelope is quite nervous.
11:50This shall be her very first season.
11:52I am not nervous, Mama.
11:54What she is, is two stone heavier than she ought to be.
11:57Those blemishes on her face are quite difficult to conceal.
11:59Or perhaps some arsenic and lead might help.
12:01Should you allow me to delay only a year, just as Lady Bridgerton has done for Eloise,
12:06I may remain dedicated to my studies, perhaps?
12:08The answer's no, Penelope.
12:10You may wish to listen to her, my lady,
12:13shepherding four young ladies through these endless rounds of affairs at the same time.
12:19Can you imagine the competition?
12:21Well, how much competition can this cousin provoke?
12:24She came of age on a farm.
12:26She has a mere four-figure dowry.
12:28And as for her appearance, well, let us hope Miss Thompson is more presentable than the legions of unkempt animals
12:34she has spent her entire life tending to back home.
12:39Lord Featherington's cousin has arrived, Madam.
12:42Now, remember to be kind, ladies.
12:46And charitable.
12:47The poor are our burden.
13:00Oh, she's beautiful.
13:04Good afternoon, Lady Featherington.
13:10Oh, she's beautiful.
13:33There's a sight for my sore eyes.
13:37My condolences.
13:38Your grace.
13:40For your father.
13:41Very kind of you.
13:42Kind of me?
13:43You hated the man.
13:45This is so wonderful to see you, Lady Danbury.
13:47Words I do not hear often enough.
13:50Come.
13:51You must excuse the disorderliness.
13:55As you know, I'm to host a ball this evening.
13:57Yes.
13:58I have managed to keep the details of your return quiet.
14:02But when those vulgar mamas discover that there is an eligible duke present at tonight's fete,
14:07I shall be able to keep such a secret no longer.
14:12That is what I was hoping to discuss.
14:14I've only returned to London to deal with my late father's affairs.
14:17I'm afraid it leaves me no time to socialize.
14:19And so whilst I appreciate your most gracious invitation, Lady Danbury,
14:23I must ask you to accept my regrets.
14:27Your regrets are denied.
14:31Well, I suppose a brief appearance.
14:33Excellent.
14:34You may leave that to flask you carry at home.
14:38Most undignified.
14:50Me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me.
15:03Someone may hear us, my love.
15:18One day I shall seize that watch and take it apart, bit by bit.
15:24I belong to my father.
15:26Should it disappear, I would miss it sadly.
15:29Then you shall know precisely how I feel every time you disappear.
15:36Stay with me today.
15:40I'm afraid I cannot.
15:41Oh.
15:43I must chaperone my sister at the Danbury Ball this evening.
15:47Daphne, yes?
15:49Mm.
15:49What might they be like?
15:51These grand affairs your sister must attend.
15:54You would hate them.
15:56Every eligible lady a-breeding,
15:58dressed in some lavishly trimmed frock.
16:02Bloodthirsty mamans at their sides.
16:05And wary fathers making arrangements for only the most advantageous of matches.
16:10And of course, without my father here, that responsibility falls upon me.
16:14A significant duty, no doubt.
16:15Someone must guard my poor sister from the bucks and pinks.
16:19Ensure her virtue remains free of any kind of defilement.
16:22Daphne is fortunate.
16:24Every woman is not afforded such gallant protection.
16:26Well, every woman is not a lady.
16:28Of course not, my lord.
16:53The season's opening ball at Danbury House
16:57is a most highly sought-after invitation indeed.
17:02For every darling debutante from Park Lane to Regent Street
17:07will be on display.
17:17Titled, chaste, and innocent.
17:21This is what they have been raised and trained for since birth.
17:27Tonight, we shall discover which young ladies might succeed at securing a match,
17:33thereby avoiding the dreadful, dismal condition known as the spinster.
17:38Oh, I do love to dance.
17:40Should you like my flower?
17:41We grow them in our very own garden.
17:43I must show you my watercolors sometime, if you desire to see them.
17:46And she's quite proficient on the piano forté, too.
18:05Is that not the young lady who was caught with her gentleman last year
18:08in Lady Mottram's conservatory?
18:11Unchaperone.
18:11She's lucky her gentleman agreed to a hasty marriage
18:14after she went and ruined herself.
18:16Light skirts.
18:43They're all staring, Mother.
18:45Allow them to come to you, dear.
18:47Allow them to come to you, dear.
18:53Oh, look who's already sitting as captain, Miss Bridgerton.
18:58Lady Bridgerton.
19:00Miss Bridgerton.
19:03Lord Bridgerton.
19:04I believe you've already been introduced to my daughter, Daphne, Lord Ambrose.
19:08Yes, we met at your brother's levy.
19:10If I recall, my lord, you had just won your first race at Newmarket.
19:13His first and only, I believe.
19:16Well, in that case, let us hope his lordship has found himself a new horse.
19:20I haven't had the pleasure of seeing you at our club lately, Ambrose.
19:24She didn't have anything to do with the unpaid balance you left on our betting books,
19:27went to last.
19:34Ambrose is a cheat.
19:36A man of any honour in Sue's debts are fully paid.
19:39I did not realise.
19:41Well, how could you have done?
19:42It is the very reason I am here, sister.
19:46Let us take a turn about the world.
20:01He's rather pleasing.
20:03He's rather here to shuffle about hunting fortunes.
20:05Trust Mr. Lewis knows of your sizable dowry.
20:07Leave him be.
20:09I presume you know of him, too.
20:10Now, Mr. Worthington's second son, we shall find better.
20:14He is of dubious parentage.
20:17We shall not have you making life with a poet, heaven forbid,
20:21nor an eccentric.
20:23My word.
20:26Anthony!
20:26Daph!
20:27If the only upstanding gentlemen present this evening are your brothers,
20:29then we are in a great deal of trouble indeed.
20:31You continue to say we?
20:33Didn't I tell you yet?
20:35About my tour?
20:36I'm to begin in Greece.
20:37Greece?
20:38How adventurous, Colin.
20:39Oh, God.
20:41Too late.
20:42I already noted you.
20:44Let me see.
20:46Miss Bridgerton, you look rather lovely this evening.
20:49Is there a reason I've yet to see you on the dance floor?
20:52All in good time, Lady Dumbledore.
20:56You poor thing.
21:07Who is that?
21:10I'm sure I've never seen her.
21:12Miss Marina Thompson, a distant cousin of my husband's.
21:16She's rather dowdy.
21:17Is she not?
21:19One of the Bridgerton boys is joining the Swarm.
21:25Well.
21:29Who's telling?
21:30I imagine your household will be a hive of quarters in the morning.
21:34Lady Featherington?
21:35Where one suit goes, the rest will surely follow.
21:45Excuse me.
21:48Excuse me.
22:01The Duke.
22:01No, no, no, no, no.
22:33I'm quite parched.
22:35Then I shall fetch her a glass of lemonade.
22:37No, you've already done so much for me tonight.
22:39I shall return in a mere moment.
22:41I shall return in a mere moment.
23:12I'm not entirely sure the matter in which we discuss, my lord.
23:15You've always amused me, Miss Bridgerton, ever since I was a schoolboy and you were...
23:21All but five?
23:28My brother, he summons me.
23:31I...
23:34Miss Bridgerton!
23:36A moment, please.
23:40Miss Bridgerton!
23:47Miss Bridgerton!
23:48Miss Bridgerton!
23:50Miss Bridgerton!
23:52Miss Bridgerton!
23:56Oh!
23:56Miss Bridgerton!
24:18Miss Bridgerton!
24:21Miss Bridgerton!
24:21Miss Bridgerton!
24:26Miss Bridgerton!
24:26Miss Bridgerton!
24:28Miss Bridgerton!
24:28Miss Bridgerton!
24:30Miss Bridgerton!
24:31Miss Bridgerton!
24:34Miss Bridgerton!
24:36Miss Bridgerton!
24:37Miss Bridgerton!
24:39y nos conocimos de los días en Oxford.
24:41Días que no se olvidarán.
24:44Sí.
24:45Como estoy muy aware de la compañía que te mantiene,
24:47yo estoy seguro que tus días, con su gracia,
24:49fueron más civilizadas, ¿dead?
24:55Hacings, vamos a tener que juntarnos bien.
24:57Espero que te vea a nuestro club, entonces.
24:59Indeed.
25:00Evening, Bridgerton.
25:01Miss Bridgerton.
25:17Daphne.
25:18I believe Lord Weatherly is looking for you to dance.
25:20Is he?
25:21If only it were not time for us to retire.
25:23I mean, Daphne is anything but weary.
25:24I shall stay with her.
25:25That would be lovely.
25:26Daphne, there is nary a gentleman here
25:28that would not take your hand.
25:29You must think about this.
25:31The most perfect thing for you to do now
25:33is not to dance,
25:34but to leave them all wanting more.
25:37If anyone knows how this works,
25:39it is your eldest brother.
25:42Perhaps he is right.
25:44Let us go.
26:02Miss, you've already awakened.
26:04Have Cook prepare as many biscuits as he can this morning,
26:07and perhaps we might move a few extra chairs
26:10into the drawing room, too.
26:12I do wonder
26:13which gentleman will be the very first to call.
26:17I have so much to ask of them all.
26:19Well, let us get you dressed.
26:35Anthony, I did not expect to see you here this morning.
26:38It is terribly early for you, dearest.
26:40You could not sleep for some reason.
26:41All the excitement, I presume.
26:44Am I the first gentleman to arrive?
26:47How wonderful.
26:58How wonderful.
27:01Call us, ma'am.
27:02The Earl of Stafford and the Marquise of Finlay.
27:04Who would?
27:04Well, you should have my colourful fashions to thank.
27:07Before I miss Marina Thompson.
27:14Dearest reader, this author finds herself compelled
27:18to share the most curious of news.
27:21And do you have a large family, too, my lord?
27:23It seems our diamond requires a closer inspection.
27:27Is there a problem, Lord Bridgerton?
27:31I should think so.
27:33You are in my seat.
27:37As such, an even rarer jewel
27:40of only the most remarkable brilliance, fire and luster
27:44has been unearthed.
27:46Her name, unknown to most, yet soon known to all,
27:51is Miss Marina Thompson.
27:56Should you not be out on your daily walk about the square, dear?
27:59It appears as though it may rain.
28:05This author is left to wonder
28:07whether Her Majesty might reconsider
28:10the high praise she once afforded Miss Bridgerton.
28:14For we all must know
28:16what the Queen despises more than anything.
28:21Being wrong.
28:23And the drawing room at Bridgerton House
28:26currently appears to be emptier
28:28than the muddled head of her dearest King George.
28:36Well, I must be off to my club, then.
28:40Sisters?
28:41Mother?
28:44It follows that Lady Featherington
28:47is to receive what she has always desired.
28:50The season's true incomparable
28:52living under her own roof.
28:54She must be overjoyed.
28:57But is Miss Thompson so high in her instep
29:00that she's unable to don her own slippers?
29:04I should think not!
29:09Has anyone else read what Lady Whistledown has written of late?
29:12Should anyone pay any heed to what Lady Whistledown writes of late?
29:15I certainly do not.
29:16Mama, perhaps we might attend the upcoming Salisbury Ball by ourselves.
29:21And the Merriweather tea, too.
29:23I believe that Anthony has already replied on our behalf, dearest.
29:28Apparently he's managed our social calendar through June.
29:30He'll be there the entire season.
29:32Lady Whistledown has made her opinion of our sister's fortunes quite clear.
29:36Well, enough about Lady Whistledown.
29:41A caller for Miss Bridgerton.
29:43Oh!
29:46The Lord Burbrook.
29:53Lord Burbrook?
29:55Um, come in.
29:58May I help you to some freshly prepared biscuits?
30:02Louise, allow some room for his lordship, will you?
30:06Louise, are you not due for a visit with Penelope this morning?
30:09I believe I should like to stay.
30:10I believe you should like to go.
30:12Hmm.
30:31Forgive me for not calling sooner.
30:33I presumed your affections were already engaged.
30:37But now I know.
30:39You and I were destined for each other.
30:50And so, by heaven, your love may burn from the depths of my soul.
30:57Tis thee I shall earn.
30:58Thank you.
31:04Wonderful, wonderful gentleman.
31:07Thank you for your calls.
31:08Do not forget to bid Prudence, Philippa, or even Phinellope farewell as you go.
31:15The most wretched sonnet indeed.
31:17Lord Byron, he's not.
31:19I do not believe so.
31:21Good day, Pen.
31:26Lord Burbrook is harmless.
31:28There'll be others.
31:31Lady Whistledown has all but declared me ineligible.
31:35Worthy of the affection of a detestable simpleton and no one else.
31:39Tell me, what others should ever want such damaged goods now?
31:42You speak as if Lady Whistledown were to be held in higher regard than Her Majesty the Queen herself.
31:47You have far too much credit to some anonymous scribbler.
31:50These musings, they're not true.
31:52Only they are true, brother.
31:54And they are true because of you.
31:55You managed to scare every worthy shooter away.
31:58Whistledown has merely reported it.
32:00I am looking out for you.
32:01I am protecting you.
32:02It is my duty.
32:03And what of my duty?
32:08You have no idea what it is to be a woman.
32:12What it might feel like to have one's entire life reduced to a single moment.
32:17This is all I have been raised for.
32:20This is all I am.
32:21I have no other value.
32:23If I am unable to find a husband, I should be worthless.
32:26Daphne, you're a Bridgeton.
32:28It would be easier if I were not.
32:33Daphne, you're a Bridgeton.
32:34Come on.
32:41Ambitious Mamma's rejoice.
32:43For the new Duke of Hastings continues to grace our fair city with his presence.
32:49And, oh, what an impressive presence it is.
32:54Lady Whistledown has written about you again, Your Grace.
32:58Would you like to read it?
33:00It should be noted that the Duke has been overheard announcing to mamas everywhere that he has no plans of
33:07ever marrying.
33:09This author wonders which brazen matchmaker shall rise to such a challenge, for this competition is well underway.
33:17You know, I do suppose, if it were not for an overzealous mother at every corner, this time we are
33:22in the city, it would not be so very dreadful.
33:24Those mothers simply want the same as you, I rather think.
33:26For every last one of them to choke on their daughter's hair abyss.
33:29But you'd declaim a wife, Hastings.
33:31Are you truly not planning on taking your place in society when you have a duke to...
33:34I have a title.
33:35As far as I'm concerned, will end with me.
33:37Hastings, you can't...
33:39Calling me that.
33:40It was my father's name.
33:42Never mind.
33:43And in any case...
33:45What of you?
33:46What of me?
33:47You are the firstborn Bridgerton of a firstborn Bridgerton nine times over.
33:51Where is your wife?
33:55Well, there's your plan to fuck her forever.
33:58Your mistress.
34:00You shall need sire an heir.
34:02I'm in possession of something that you are not.
34:05Brothers.
34:07It has reached my ears that Mr. Colin Bridgerton shall be awarded the year's grand prize when he sweeps Miss
34:15Thompson off her pretty little slippered feet.
34:19You can always send the willow back to a farm, madam.
34:23As if Lord Featherington would ever allow that.
34:33In other news, a most peculiar suitor for Miss Daphne Bridgerton has emerged.
34:40Daphne, I've got your caller.
34:46Will it be just the two of us?
34:48Yet again?
35:17I'll box my mum.
35:19Lady Bridgerton.
35:21Do join us.
35:30Your Majesty, good evening.
35:32You must remember my daughter, Daphne.
35:34Yes.
35:35She made quite an impression.
35:37However fleeting it may have been.
35:43I would like to welcome you both to my box this evening.
35:47I insist.
35:56They are saying her husband will not live till the end of the month.
36:00Surely another rumour provided by that vicious, scandal-mongering writer.
36:04Should her degradation know no bounds?
36:11Lady Whistledown writes about my family, too.
36:14Yet I suppose that you can withstand such scrutiny, since he is, after all, a man.
36:19Miss Grace was fortunate to have you there with him as a child, after what happened to his mother.
36:23Awful.
36:24He's not what Whistledown writes.
36:25So is Daphne.
36:27It seems that two of them have that much in common, then.
36:30Matches have certainly been made with far less.
36:34What are you suggesting?
36:38Lady Whistledown merely writes what she sees.
36:40Perhaps we need to help her to see things a bit more clearly.
36:48The Duke is quite fond of gooseberry pie.
36:51The very dish my cook is renowned for.
36:58Awful.
37:23And for all we know, Whistledown makes some interloper living in Bloomsbury, of all places.
37:28What should be so terrible about Bloomsbury?
37:30The people there actually work for a living.
37:32Well, she does seem to be someone with access.
37:33Who knows if Whistledown is even a she?
37:35Fair point.
37:36Because she's simply too good to be anyone but a man.
37:38Well, I think it rather obvious that the writer is Lady Danbury.
37:41Lady Danbury enjoys sharing her insults with society directly.
37:44She would never bother herself writing them all down.
37:46Could it be Lady Featherington?
37:48No!
37:51You've yet to read what Whistledown writes for Featheringtons, little sister.
37:55You must forgive this rather unruly debate, Your Grace.
37:58Nonsense.
37:59I find it entertaining.
38:01All of you at one table.
38:02What are the children?
38:04I realise it may be unfashionable, but we like each other.
38:09Most of the time.
38:11You should join us more often, Your Grace.
38:13Perhaps when we travel to our country seat, you would be most welcome.
38:17Gregory, would you stop tossing peas at me?
38:19Those peas are already there.
38:21You cannot tell me what to do.
38:22I am older and I'm taller.
38:23Children!
38:25No, he does have a presence about him.
38:27Calm down.
38:31Regist jukes for one thing.
38:32I'm to spar with Jackson himself.
38:34You?
38:35Is that envy I detect in your voice?
38:37Judgment, brother.
38:39I shall need to witness this.
38:40You appear displeased.
38:43Do I?
38:43We find ourselves seated beside each other, Miss Bridgerton.
38:47I'd like to think you're happy about that.
38:49Perhaps, Your Grace.
38:50It would be better if you refrained from thinking about me at all.
38:54It is simply surprising.
38:57Yes, however is it possible for a lady to offer anything but a smile while seated beside a duke.
39:03Even one of your reputation.
39:05You are aware of my reputation.
39:07I'm aware of your friendship with my eldest brother.
39:10If that were not enough, I'm also aware of the things I set in my test recently written of you.
39:15Presumptuous.
39:17Clearly.
39:17Arrogant, most definitely.
39:19You are a rake.
39:21Through and through.
39:22And tell me I'm one.
39:23Who is to refrain from thinking about whom again?
39:26I assure you, I'm anything but interested in you.
39:29Good.
39:29Quite.
39:30And I anything but interested in you.
39:32The eldest sister of my oldest friend, yet another recent subject of a certain writer, chaste, neat, desperate.
39:40I shall have you know.
39:41To marry, that is.
39:43Tell me I'm wrong.
39:49Hastings, I'm so glad you decided to join us this evening.
39:52It was most spontaneous of you.
39:53Not at all.
39:54But Lady Danbury accepting your dear mother's gracious invitation on my behalf.
39:58Well, however could I have declined?
40:01You must stay for dessert.
40:02It's gooseberry pie, Your Grace.
40:05Ah, lovely.
40:20You were a perfectly reasonable mother until your eldest daughter came of age.
40:23This matchmaking scheme you rather transparently concocted with Lady Danbury.
40:27It will not work.
40:29I can think of worse matches for Daphne than a dupe.
40:34I believe the two of you to be friends.
40:35We are good friends, which is why I know he has absolutely no intention of marrying.
40:39Well, you must understand, all men make that assertion.
40:41Your father...
40:42Do not bring father into this.
40:47Even if you were in want of a wife, you would most certainly not have the duke anywhere near Daphne.
40:52I fully subscribe to the belief that reformed rakes make the very best of us.
40:55You will not make her happy.
40:58Daphne deserves better.
41:00And I know you think you are solving the problem, but you are not.
41:03And that is all I shall say about the matter.
41:11The duke will be joining us, as I guess, at Vauxhall tomorrow evening.
41:14Now, I admit it was not easy to...
41:16You overstepped.
41:17She is my eldest daughter.
41:18And she is my responsibility as a you.
41:20Responsibility?
41:20Do not make this any more difficult than it already is.
41:22I wish to know something, Antony.
41:24Tonight, when you leave this study that you continue to keep at your family home,
41:29are you to return to your bachelor lodgings across the square?
41:32Or will you pay a visit to a certain soprano that you tend to in an apartment that you pay
41:36for on the other side of town?
41:38Relying on your younger brothers to one day do the job that you cannot?
41:43You like to speak of responsibility.
41:46My dear son.
41:48Of duty?
41:49Pray tell, what should you know of it?
41:53I sit with her in that drawing room.
41:55Do you know what I see?
41:57A young woman who is terrified because she knows what kind of life...
42:01What kind of future awaits her should you continue to get in her way.
42:07If your father was still here, Daphne would already have been matched.
42:10The man would have made an arrangement with an old friend.
42:13The man would have done what was now necessary.
42:15So you must ask yourself, are you merely an older brother?
42:20Or are you the man of this house?
42:48I cannot see you anymore.
42:54I do not understand.
42:55It is not for you to understand.
43:00I must do what is necessary.
43:03You said you would always protect me.
43:08You promised to care for me, my lord.
43:11And now?
43:14What shall I do now?
43:19You shall leave.
43:21Be it shame or slander, seduction or smear, there is but one thing that humbles even the most highly regarded
43:30members of our dear Torn.
43:32A scandal.
43:35A scandal.
43:37Well, dear reader, it should seem that all of Grosvenor Square has been left to ponder a rather scandalous question
43:45indeed.
43:48Might one former diamond's recent fall from grace turn out to be the most damning scandal of all?
43:56Yes.
44:11I can't.
44:12I can't.
44:14That's right.
44:16I can't.
44:16It's a bad place.
44:18That's right.
44:19I can't.
44:20I can't.
44:34¡Gracias!
44:54¡Gracias!
45:02¡Gracias!
45:09¡Gracias!
45:18¡Gracias!
46:05¡Madame!
46:06¡Yes!
46:06¡Varley!
46:11¡It is with great privilege, I present Vauxhall's newest spectaclub in the world!
46:18Feast your eyes above, and allow all that you radiate to overwhelm you.
46:30Wonderful night!
46:32Thank you, Inca.
46:39Is it not the most bizarre look, brother?
46:46What is it?
46:47Lord Burbrook's barony is over 200 years old.
46:49His lineage is legitimate.
46:51He's had an excellent education, possesses no debts, never hurt an animal or a woman, and is even a decent
46:57shot.
46:59To speak strictly, there's nothing wrong with him.
47:02What should any of your...
47:03You're to marry him.
47:06Nigel!
47:06I had to find you a husband, sister.
47:08Now, be grateful it is done.
47:11It should be just as easy for you to fall in love with Lord Burbrook as with anyone else.
47:14I will not hear of this.
47:18I will not hear of this.
47:20I will not hear of this.
47:44And you haven't bled.
47:51I suppose I should be happy.
47:53Up until now, I've had no legitimate excuse to dispense with you.
47:58But when Lord Featherington hears of this, when your own papa hears of this...
48:04Please.
48:04I suppose I should be happy.
48:06And if it were guaranteed that my own ladies would not be affected by your revolting recklessness, I would be.
48:15Do you even know who the father is?
48:16What I know is that you shall never understand.
48:19What was that?
48:20You shall never understand.
48:22Someone like you living this ridiculously charmed.
48:26Did you think I wanted to come here?
48:29To be around people like you.
48:32So out of touch.
48:33So superior.
48:47Whatever are you doing?
48:50Nigel, not now.
48:52Nigel?
48:53Were we to drop the honorific so soon?
48:56I suppose, as your husband...
48:58You will never be my husband.
49:00I will never marry you.
49:02My brother, he...
49:03He made a mistake.
49:05Do you think yourself better than me?
49:09It would be best for you to leave.
49:11You should be thanking me.
49:12I'm your last hope.
49:14No one wants you, Miss Bridget.
49:16What are you doing?
49:17You'll find out soon enough.
49:18Stop it!
49:19Let go of me!
49:26Your Grace.
49:27I had no intention...
49:29Of knocking the Klimp flat out.
49:33I must say I'm impressed.
49:35What are you doing out here?
49:37Avoiding certain...
49:38People.
49:39People?
49:40Mothers.
49:41Yeah, people I suppose.
49:43You are coming from the Dark Walk.
49:45It is merely a few steps away.
49:47What would you know of the Dark...
49:48The Dark Walk is merely a few steps away.
49:50And I'm alone with two men.
49:53I believe you're only with one man and the others...
49:54I shall be compromised just the same.
49:56Do you have any idea what would happen if someone even suggested that I...
50:00I must go.
50:01Marry me, Miss Bridgerton.
50:03Now, as far as proposals go, that may be the least romantic of all.
50:07I suppose if someone were to find me here, it would be one way out of marrying him.
50:11Oh, you cannot possibly be thinking of marrying him.
50:13If I'm unable to secure another offer, there may be no alternative.
50:17Unlike you, I cannot simply declare I do not wish to marry.
50:21I do not have such a privilege.
50:23Yes, I was quite surprised to learn you no longer have a line of suitors around every last square in
50:27London.
50:28I'm in no need of your derision, sir.
50:30I do not mock you.
50:31I'm being sincere.
50:34I know what this lady Whistledown has written.
50:37Trust I possess as much contempt for the author as you do.
50:40She's all but issued a challenge to London's most ambitious memoirs, encouraging, provoking them.
50:45I don't claim you as their prize.
50:47Do not worry, Your Grace.
50:49I believe such a win would be promptly forfeited indeed.
50:53I must go this way.
50:54You through those trees.
50:56Perhaps there is an answer...
50:59...to our collective Lady Whistledown issue.
51:22We could pretend to form an attachment.
51:32With you on my own, the world will believe I have finally found my Duchess.
51:38Every presumptuous mother in town will leave me alone, and every suitor will be looking at you.
51:47You must know, men are always interested in a woman when they believe another, particularly a Duke, to be interested
51:52as well.
51:53You presume Lady Whistledown...
51:54I presume Shildy must be precisely what we are.
51:57Me, unavailable.
51:58You, desirable.
52:20You, desirable.
52:22Start to my eyes.
52:29Here.
52:31Closer.
52:35If this is to work, you must appear madly in love.
52:39It is an absurd plan.
52:41I find it quite brilliant.
52:42Provided you do not wish to marry me, and I do not wish to marry you.
52:45Whatever should you have to lose?
53:27For those not in attendance at the Vauxhall Celebration, you missed the most remarkable coup of the season.
53:36It appears Miss Daphne Bridgerton has captured the interest of the newly returned Duke of Hastings.
53:46How the young Miss secured her newfound suitor is yet to be determined.
53:53Yet, if anyone shall reveal the circumstances of this match, it is I.
53:59Yours truly.
54:02Lady Whistledown.
