04:51if i were truly courting you i would not need flowers
04:54okay five minutes alone with you in a drawing room
05:00i did not mean
05:01six balls your grace
05:03very well though i shall see about the flowers
05:05and you must remember
05:07no one could know about our little arrangement
05:11know about what happened last night with lord burbrooke
05:13ah yes how is your hand this morning
05:16you must know you did nothing wrong
05:18what i know is that even the rumor of my being alone with a man
05:21let alone touching him
05:23will ruin me
05:24you may have noticed in causing a scandal in the spirit of them
05:27you should imagine with you it comes naturally
05:43it's disturbing
05:44what are you guys talking about
05:47oh
05:47god
05:49penelope is wondering about miss thompson
05:50who did
05:50but of miss thompson
05:52penelope has inquiries
05:53if you do not fall silent
05:55about miss thompson's condition
05:56i beg your pardon
05:57no ma
05:58well how did it happen mama
06:00is there to be a baby
06:01that will be enough
06:03my lord
06:04are you hearing this
06:05what are we going to do
06:07there's no need for your hysterics
06:09well why is miss thompson to be kept away
06:11because her condition is catching
06:19so daphne may be in love
06:21does she think it an accomplishment
06:23what exactly has she accomplished then
06:25she certainly did not build that man or bake him
06:27he simply showed up
06:29now he straggles about
06:31that's her face probably
06:32that's her hair
06:34and having a nice face and pleasant hair is not an accomplishment
06:37do you know what is an accomplishment?
06:40attending university
06:40if i were a man i could do that
06:43you know
06:43instead i should have to stand by
06:45and watch dear mama appear proud
06:46because some man
06:47should like to admire my sister's face and hair
06:49and fill her up with babies
06:51oh penelope you're not listening to what i say
06:55well
06:56i know of someone
06:58this child
07:00is it your mama?
07:01is she not advanced in age?
07:03i suppose your father
07:04she still wanted boys
07:05it is not my mama
07:06it is a maid
07:08which one of your maids is married?
07:10she's not married
07:12how did she become a child if she's not married?
07:14i do not know
07:15then we'll find out
07:17you must
07:18otherwise how can we make sure it never happens to us?
07:20we have accomplishments to acquire
07:26two dancers?
07:27with a jeez?
07:28oh he was quite taken with your sister hyacinth
07:30or the entire party was for that matter
07:32all eyes were on Daphne
07:34at least enjoy some toast to her
07:35i'm not hungry mama
07:36are you certain the entire party was not simply eyeing a tear in her dress?
07:39or some missteps she might have taken on the dance floor
07:41i do wonder Daphne
07:42might we count on the duke of the crawford ball?
07:44i should think it of her chance
07:45what about the ramsby ball friday too?
07:48oh and what about the grand picnic?
07:49we shall see you mama
07:50how terrible for fran that she'll be off practicing piano forte with aunt winnie all season
07:54and miss daphne's engagement to the duke
07:56could francesca leave the bath already?
07:58how does a lady come to be with child?
08:01uh eloise what a question
08:02i thought one needed to be married
08:04whatever are you talking about
08:05apparently it's not even a requirement
08:06eloise that is more than enough
08:11Daphne please you were playing so lovely
08:12please to go on
08:15i take it the two of you? no?
08:17do not look at me
08:17have you ever visited a farm?
08:19no?
08:20i do hope the two of you are not encouraging improper topics of conversation
08:23not at all mother
08:24in fact uh
08:25we were just heading off to
08:26take our sticks out
08:28call in bridgerton
08:29a round of fencing
08:32miss
08:32humboldt is coming
08:34humboldt is coming
08:35humboldt?
08:36why is humboldt coming?
08:40why has someone arrived humboldt?
08:41callers for miss daphne
08:43ma'am
08:44but
08:44did you
08:45you already have a caller dearest
08:47well
08:47i suppose now i have more
09:00what is happening?
09:04what is happening?
09:08coming through
09:15when you said you would be taking me to your family this morning
09:18oh
09:18i expected to be the only one present
09:20i wore my satin knee breeches for the occasion
09:23out of my way at once
09:30dear god
09:32i shall speak till i assume to know
09:33lord berberet you must go
09:35you said you wanted this handle quickly
09:36you gave me your word
09:38and i intend to keep it
09:39you were the only man who proposed
09:40therefore the only one i thoroughly considered
09:41this is nothing more than a terrible confusion
09:44for now you must go
09:45along with everyone else
09:49i should like to know what is going on
09:50oh i would like to know the very same
09:52perhaps we might begin with why you chose to interrupt such an exquisite morning
09:55because she is already engaged to be married
09:57the duke has already asked for your hand
09:59i am not engaged mamma
10:01has anyone truly proposed to me? no
10:03have i proposed to anyone else?
10:05i do not believe i have
10:06do not be disrespectful sister
10:07disrespectful
10:09i cannot imagine a greater show of disrespect
10:12than promising me to nigel burbrook
10:14anthony tell me you did not
10:16he is a fine choice
10:16i looked into him
10:17you promised your sister to that man
10:19not well enough apparently
10:20what?
10:22does not matter
10:23i now have many choices indeed
10:25i do not need
10:26you have suitors
10:27you do not have what matters proposals
10:29except of course
10:30from lord burbrook
10:31whatever happened to his eye
10:32it's quite grotesque
10:34Daphne has charmed a duke anthony
10:36you must know that changes everything
10:38oh please do not tell me this little rebellion is to do with hastings
10:40they are courting
10:41they've danced a couple of times together at a ball
10:44colin has done the same with penelope featherington
10:45it does not signify that they
10:47they promenaded this morning and he sent flowers today
10:49to both of us
10:50expensive ones
10:56the duke is not a serious suitor
10:58he will never marry
10:59i have known him since we were boys
11:01it is not bravado
11:02or denial
11:04or even immaturity
11:05it certainly appears that way to me
11:06i will not marry
11:08nigel burbrook
11:12i have acted in your best interests
11:15sister
11:15one day
11:16you will understand
11:17one day you'll be most appreciative
11:18the contract to burbrook
11:20will be drawn up
11:20and you shall marry him
11:27come on
11:28oh you need not worry dearest
11:30once lord burbrook witnesses the seriousness of the duke's intentions
11:33he will have no choice but to retreat
11:35old burbrook may not respect a woman's choice but he certainly will respect a man's
11:41what and if the duke is not serious well i shall have others
11:46daphne i saw the way the two of you looked at each other last night and this morning
11:52there are no others
11:54there is only the duke
12:07that you truly dance with the bridgerton girl
12:10twice
12:14remind me again why you were the first person i chose to reacquaint myself with upon my return to town
12:19admit it friend
12:20you missed me
12:27might i have a word
12:28many as you like bridgerton
12:33are you going to come down here or must i come up there
12:36my fists have taken enough pounding from your chin today
12:40your dukeship
12:49oh
12:50well
12:51what seems to be so urgent
12:52i should like to know what was going through your head last night and this morning
12:55i can't
12:56oh you'll have to be more precise
12:57great deal goes under mine as quick as mine
12:59are you courting my sister
13:00should i not be courting your sister
13:01no
13:02and i can think of dozens of reasons why
13:04starting with she is my sister
13:06and ending with she is already engaged to be married
13:07and then perhaps
13:08circling back to
13:10she
13:10is my sister
13:14i was unaware of an engagement
13:16the band's been read then
13:17i assure you that all the formal preparations are underway
13:19i have arranged everything with nigel burbrook
13:21having given him my words
13:23ah so you have struck something squarely
13:24your problem
13:25is that burbrook is a wholly unworthy suitor for miss bridgerton
13:30he is perfectly decent
13:32he has never seen going in and out of brothels at least
13:34i even know where he's been these past few years
13:36right here in london
13:37as opposed to some
13:38gambling hell or backwater slum
13:40or wherever it was you joke the fuck about for god knows whatever reason
13:49nigel burbrook
13:50is hardly a saint
13:51you are and have long been a good friend
13:53the best
13:54really
13:55but this is my sister
13:56think of
13:57all that we have shared as friends
13:59it is
14:00furthest from my intentions to offend you
14:02but surely you can understand that family must come before all else
14:11why is he not saying anything
14:14he's four years old
14:15he should be able to speak
14:16he is quite advanced in his letters
14:18more so than any child i have taught
14:20he would have to be bloody shakespeare with his letters
14:23if he cannot speak
14:26let us hear it boy
14:28give me a word
14:29a grunt
14:31talk to me damn you
14:32you are scaring me
14:34and if that is what it should take
14:35i shall get a sound from him still
14:36no
14:39what did you say
14:41d
14:43d
14:44do
14:46not
14:48what is he doing
14:54he's an imbecile
14:56your grace
14:56he is an idiot
15:00my god
15:02Do you know how precarious of a situation we are in, boy?
15:06We have been granted this line.
15:08The monarchy itself has declared it.
15:11But it will only remain ours so long as we remain extraordinary.
15:17Hastings' name cannot land in the quivering hands of a halfwit.
15:25Get him out of my sight.
15:28This boy is dead to me.
15:46I found you a few sweets.
15:49I thought you might enjoy them while everyone else attends tonight's ball.
15:53You can come in. I'm sure there's plenty to spare.
16:06I hear they have decided not to send you home to your papa.
16:09Don't say I'm relieved.
16:11I can only imagine how he will react to...
16:14Your condition.
16:18Marina, may I ask, how did it happen?
16:26Cake.
16:28Cake.
16:33Our vicar in Somerset was given to hours-long sermons.
16:37Three, four, sometimes five hours.
16:40They last.
16:41I would nearly swoon from hunger and fatigue.
16:43Until one Sunday,
16:45just when I thought I'd have to crawl under the pew from exhaustion,
16:48the eldest crane boy, George.
16:51Sir George Crane sneaked me a wrapped bundle of cake and biscuits.
16:56The vicar would have had his head if he knew.
17:00After some time,
17:01the bundles came to include small notes.
17:04We passed tiny missives back and forth for months.
17:10I've never longed for church quite so much.
17:15Where is Sir George now?
17:17Spain.
17:18He went off to fight with Wellington.
17:20But he continued to write.
17:23See?
17:28So,
17:30your condition then,
17:32it was what about by...
17:35Love.
17:37It was love, Penelope.
17:58Your Majesty,
17:59the Royal Physician has a report on the King.
18:02How is it possible
18:02that there has not been a single compelling betrothal yet this season?
18:07Terribly unexciting.
18:08I could tell you a delicious tidbit
18:09about our former scullery maid.
18:11I don't care about a dish wench.
18:13I wish to be entertained.
18:15Enthralled.
18:17Should the Royal Physician seek to tell me
18:19my husband is dead, Brimsley?
18:21I do not believe so, Your Majesty.
18:22Then tell him I am occupied.
18:24And bring me my stationery at once.
18:52Will it be the rubies or the pearls, Miss?
18:54Oh, the pearls, of course.
18:56Well, Ma, perhaps the rubies.
18:58We'd better capture the eye of even more new suitors.
19:02If I'm not to put all my eggs in one basket,
19:06I must collect more eggs.
19:10The Duke truly has put your head in a spin.
19:13More like Lord Berberet must spin far away.
19:17Good heavens, what is it, Mrs. Wilson?
19:19The Queen, ma'am.
19:20Has she fallen ill?
19:21Has King George caused her harm?
19:22Her Majesty's Royal Stationery.
19:24She has written to you, my lady.
19:37What's it say, Ma'am?
19:43I am invited to a private tea with the Queen
19:47in two days' time.
19:54Never mind the pearls.
19:56You shall wear the family diamonds tonight.
20:05Would it pain you to wear some colour, Your Grace?
20:08The London season is already terribly monotonous as it is.
20:12Must your wardrobe do the same?
20:14I was told this look is all the rage.
20:15Certainly not mine.
20:17Take my arm before you make us late.
20:32So, you are not dead after all.
20:34My lady, we were not expecting your visit.
20:36Not once seen in London.
20:38No news of your education, not a word about you from your father.
20:41Yet here you are, alive and breathing.
20:44Stand up, boy.
20:52Your mother would weep to know her dearest friend was a stranger to her son.
20:58You look just like her.
20:59And a good thing, too.
21:03Lady Danbury, my lord.
21:10I see, you've not learnt any manners.
21:13Have you learnt to read?
21:15To write?
21:16To ride a horse?
21:17To fence?
21:19Well, then, why ever are you not in school?
21:26I can't not eat.
21:36When I was a girl, some centuries ago, I was afraid even of my own reflection.
21:42I entered a room and attempted to dissolve into the shadows.
21:46But there is only so long when in a position such as ours can hide.
21:51I knew I would have to step into the light someday, and I could not very well be frightened.
21:55So, instead, I made myself frightening.
22:01I sharpened my wit, my wardrobe, and my eye.
22:04And I made myself the most terrifying creature in any room I entered.
22:11Come.
22:12Come.
22:17You can speak.
22:20I understood you well enough.
22:23And I will help you to overcome this scammer of yours.
22:27But in exchange, you must promise me that when you step into the light,
22:36you will be worthy of the attention you command.
22:41Hmm?
23:08I shall need someone else to seek me a glass of rataffia, then.
23:13Lord Bridgerton, do me the honour.
23:17Of course.
23:18My name I'm Ray.
23:25Six balls no more.
23:26I must have you at eight.
23:27Along with a picnic.
23:28A picnic?
23:29I'm afraid we are required to burn the flames of our charade.
23:33Ah, because Lord Burbrook, I presume.
23:35I heard.
23:37I must make him believe that you are very precious of a proposal.
23:43So that he will leave me alone.
23:44I should hope I do not leave my balance, then.
23:46No, I should hope not, either.
23:47He will be glued to my side all evening.
23:50And we must look like we are enjoying ourselves, as difficult as that may be.
23:54Yes.
23:54Quite.
24:23I'll see you next time.
24:50¡Suscríbete al canal!
28:25No, no, no, no.
28:56Yes, very well.
28:58That is all I had hoped to hear.
28:59You do not deserve to breathe the same air as her.
29:02Now go home.
29:04And you do.
29:06I've heard the stories of your father, Hastings.
29:08I know how badly he wanted a son, an heir.
29:12And I know how badly he tried to get one when it seemed your poor mother could not deliver.
29:16If anyone were to ever turn a blind eye to a man's temporary lack of judgment, it would be you.
29:23The apple should not fall very far, should it?
29:45Your grace, may I present Lady Danbury and Lord Bassett.
29:59Well, this is a most unwelcome intrusion.
30:02I thought your grace might be relieved to know that your son is alive and well.
30:06Your staff seem somewhat surprised by the fact.
30:09What is the point of your visit?
30:14I am receiving high marks in all of my studies, sir.
30:18I ride and I fend and I shoot.
30:22Exceptionally well, I am told.
30:33You are my worst failure.
30:38I beg your pardon?
30:40I am sure you do.
30:42I shan't again.
30:44Might I remind you that this boy is to be the next Duke of Hastings and that he requires whatever
30:48reserves of fatherly nature reside in that frigid heart of yours.
30:53You may.
30:54So long as I may remind you of your place, which is out of my sight and with your bitch
31:00mouth shut.
31:05I wrote to you many times to let you know I'm not dead.
31:15Did you receive my letters?
31:17It is a deep enough wound to live with the knowledge that you shall one day inherit Hastings.
31:22But to witness your struggle is too great an insult.
31:27You are as useless as your mother proved to be.
31:31So I shall pursue the same recourse with you as I did with her.
31:35To forget that you ever sullied these halls.
32:02This author has often thought the heart a most curious of instruments, heeding neither reason
32:09nor rank.
32:10For what possible explanation might Miss Bridgerton have for entertaining the suit of a mere baron
32:16when she seems to have secured a Duke.
32:19Could the debutante's mind not be the only thing amiss?
32:24The recipe is my own.
32:27I'm quite certain the Duke should find it appealing.
32:29It does not matter what the Duke thinks, Rose.
32:31He's gallant, is he not?
32:33With refined taste.
32:34Stop!
32:37Is a bruge not to your liking?
32:41No.
32:44It is perfect.
32:46I should like some more.
32:58Let it be known, dear reader,
33:01that if this bizarre behavior portends yet another scandal,
33:05then be sure that I shall uncover it.
33:08For there is nothing like an excursion into nature
33:12to lift the spirits and loosen the tongue.
33:16I had to move according to Bumbling Barbara.
33:18I took a match for her, I rather think.
33:27Mama, might I go play with Eloise?
33:29Maybe it's not play, Penelope.
33:30Forgive me, Mama.
33:31Might I go promenade for suitors with Eloise?
33:33Very well then.
33:38Well, what have you learned from your maid,
33:40the one who was in the family way?
33:41What happened?
33:42How did it happen?
33:43She said it was love.
33:46Love?
33:48That does not stand to reason.
33:49Well, it certainly does not.
33:50Look at my mama.
33:51Three children.
33:53Would anyone presume that had anything to do with love?
33:56What else did she say?
33:56Was she not frightened?
33:59More sad and frightened.
34:01But there may be a chance for her to have a happy ending yet, I suppose.
34:04She wants to escape to the country where she and her love will marry.
34:07But she has even quite a reason to be frightened.
34:10Once she is married, her life is over.
34:12Scarcely an escape, Penelope.
34:14Oh, that poor maid.
34:28She is not aware, sister, of what Burbrook attempted.
34:31I would have helped you.
34:33You should have told me.
34:34Would you have believed me?
34:36Did you only change your mind about Lord Burbrook because another man told you the truth?
34:40You truly esteem me so little.
34:42After I apprised you of my wishes and you proceeded to ignore them.
34:46Yes, brother, I do.
34:57You are late?
34:58Apologies.
34:59Should we rejoin your family at that camp?
35:01Certainly not.
35:03We must promenade past a group of men playing their games up ahead.
35:11What have ever happened to your hand?
35:13Boxing.
35:14It's an absurdity that passes for entertainment amongst men.
35:18My cuff, buttoning.
35:20I beg your pardon?
35:30You need not feel your evident worry.
35:32Burbrook is...
35:33Have you not heard what Whistledown writes of me still?
35:35No.
35:36Even if you believe Lord Burbrook is taken care of, our ruse is not finished.
35:40I'm still in need of a husband.
35:41No, I am flattered.
35:42I'm afraid I must reject your proposal.
35:43Yes, I know.
35:44You are not the marrying type.
35:47Yet have you considered you are not the type women wish to marry?
35:50I do suppose if I were forced to take a wife, you would be the least objectionable option.
35:54Is that meant to be a compliment?
35:55Yes, but it is no matter, for you wish to marry for love, do you not?
36:00Of course I do.
36:04They're still looking.
36:13Bridgerton!
36:15What have you done?
36:19I bring cheerful news, Bridgertons!
36:21I have taken matters in my own hands and sought a special license for my wedding to Miss Bridgerton.
36:26There is to be no wedding.
36:28I have told you the arrangement is cancelled.
36:30Lord Burbrook, you look in a great deal of pain.
36:32Shall we continue this conversation in a more private location?
36:34I require no further conversation, though perhaps I am finally speaking to the true head of the Bridgerton house.
36:39For if it were you, I imagine you would have instructed your sister to take better care than to encourage
36:44certain attentions while alone with me on the dark walk at Vauxhall.
36:48Of course, mere hearsay of such a scandal could wreak havoc on even the most influential of families.
36:54What would someone like, say, Lady Whistledown do with such unseemly information?
36:59Is that a threat?
37:00It is certainly not.
37:02Because in three days, I am to marry.
37:06I have the diamond of the season.
37:07I have the very best that Ton has to offer.
37:10I have a Bridgerton.
37:12And I shall save her, as well as your entire family, from the ruin which you could not protect them.
37:24I look forward to the union of our great families.
37:29Bridgerton.
37:30Hastings.
37:36I must issue my challenge to Lord Burbrook straight away.
37:39I assure you I have been properly trained in the matter.
37:41I know the rules to follow.
37:42No, you are not to duel with Lord Burbrook, Anthony.
37:44Do you understand me?
37:45I do not care what kind of training you think you may have.
37:48Is it illegal or not to mention positively horrific...
37:50Gentlemen are left with no other choice, Mother.
37:53When a young woman, let alone one's sister, is rumoured to be dishonoured, the consequences shall be deadly.
37:58It is no solution.
38:00Should Lord Burbrook decide to make good on his threat before you shoot him dead, brother, what happens then?
38:07He may decide to open his tiny mouth at any moment and then I shall be ruined.
38:14This will be all.
38:18I must marry Nigel Burbrook.
38:21It is the only choice.
38:41Rose, can you leave us for a moment?
38:59I have taught you to believe that marriage is the best that life has to offer, and that remains true.
39:06But it is not simply a partner that marriage provides.
39:12You will have comfort and a house to tend, and most importantly, children.
39:20You will throw yourself into raising your family, and you will find much joy.
39:26I am certain.
39:33You and Papa...
39:37The two of you were so beautiful, Mama.
39:42That is what I wanted.
39:45That is all I hope to one day find.
39:49Yes, did I.
40:09Eloise Bridgerton.
40:21Go on, then.
40:23Chastise me.
40:26Spur one for me.
40:41Suppose I desire something different.
40:43How do you mean?
40:44Just different.
40:46I watch deafening prepare for these balls, with all of those dresses and the many suitors, and I am exhausted.
40:53Suppose I want a different life, Benedict.
40:55And I truly believe I am quite capable of something more, even when I am not allowed to have anything
41:01else.
41:04Then, I would say, that you are not the only one.
41:14I would say, that you are not the only one.
41:31Still on that dance floor with Miss Bridgerton.
41:35How is she?
41:37She is to marry.
41:38Then you are free to do as you please.
41:42And never.
41:45Never.
41:54Do have.
42:09Bye.
42:10I want to.
42:19Bye.
42:21Gracias.
42:51Gracias.
42:56What do you think?
43:01Of the music?
43:04I find it quite beautiful.
43:07Is it Mozart?
43:09I became acquainted with Mr. Mozart when he was not ten years old.
43:13The boy accompanied me as I sang an aria,
43:15and I declared then and there that he should become one of the finest composers in Europe.
43:19And certainly you were right?
43:22Well, I'm really wrong about such matters.
43:24Do you know why?
43:26Because when I choose to extend to someone my favour,
43:28I expect them to make good on it.
43:30Your Majesty, is this about...
43:32Brimsley!
43:33Fresh snuff.
43:41That one is a terrible gossip.
43:44If we were to speak freely in its presence before long,
43:47the whole of England would know our business.
43:50I see.
43:52I suppose you do see.
43:54I expected a great future for your daughter upon her entrance into society.
43:59A future with someone like a Duke.
44:01Perhaps.
44:02A pairing like that.
44:06Well...
44:07Would certainly be most enchanting indeed.
44:24As I was saying, the glow of success benefited not only the young maestro.
44:29Surely the entire Mozart family would have felt the repercussions had their boys stayed forever in Salzburg.
44:39Would you not agree?
44:47Why, yes.
44:49Yes, I would.
44:51But what are we to do, ma'am?
44:53We are to invite Lady Barbara Gulliver for tea, Mrs. Wilson.
44:56At once.
45:04Nigel is my one and only child.
45:06A very special boy indeed.
45:09In fact, I often say, God did not bless me with another because perfection had already been achieved.
45:16My goodness.
45:17Mmm.
45:18Not every lady can be so blessed, I know.
45:22Miss Bridgerton, allow me to set my eyes upon you.
45:28Mmm.
45:29Certainly healthy.
45:31Even if your countenance is a bit drawn.
45:35It was a terribly late evening.
45:37All the excitement, I suppose.
45:38Yet you must try harder, dear.
45:41My Nigel is quite discerning.
45:42He already turned away many more handsome debutantes saying,
45:46Mother, I prize accomplishment over beauty.
45:52Can you believe it?
46:01That mistress of yours is going through the biscuits quick.
46:04Do not worry, Rose.
46:06I shall handle it.
46:11Housekeepers.
46:12They believe themselves the sun and the moon when, in truth, it is us ladies made that do all the
46:16hard work.
46:17I have one just like her.
46:20You are quite fortunate, though.
46:21How troublesome could a household be with only Lady Burbrook and the young Lord Burbrook to look after?
46:25Oh.
46:26You have no idea.
46:29You ate but not one bite at tea, my dear.
46:34A young lady must be well fed if she is to bear children.
46:37Kippers on rye every morning worked wonders for me when I conceived my Nigel.
46:48What have you found?
46:49What is going on?
46:51Oh, you could not think I would ask that woman for tea without a thought for you, could you?
46:54The help here is everything, as we all know.
46:57She has had a good deal, in fact.
46:59Lord Burbrook has a boy by one of his maids that he refused to provide for.
47:03Sent the maiden child away to live off scraps.
47:05Horrible man.
47:06Horrible enough for us to be rid of him, let us pray.
47:10He will only deny it.
47:13And who will believe a group of women over a man's word?
47:16Perhaps no one.
47:18But they will if Lady Whistledown does.
47:20So we shall do what women do.
47:23We shall talk.
47:29And the only reason he married her is because his purse squandered their accounts on some scheme in America.
47:36Oh, mon dieu!
47:37Is it not the most lurid story of the season?
47:41Perhaps not the most lurid.
47:45Well, every Burren has a bustard.
47:49A bustard she sent away before the Miss Evenpot?
47:52You don't say.
47:54I will tell Jenny and Mary.
48:02It has come to this author's attention that the ton is abuzz with a most sordid tale.
48:14It is said one cannot judge a book by its cover, but in the case of the bumbling Baron Burbrooke,
48:22it seems his displeasing appearance is quite an apt metaphor for the state of affairs in his household.
48:31I would not be surprised if Lord Burbrooke were called away to the country on alleged business.
48:37Business which perhaps might involve sending some much overdue funds to one former maid and young boy who we can
48:47only hope takes after his mother.
48:52I've heard talk that Burbrooke has left town.
48:56I'm given to think the solution to our problem did not come about by chance.
49:06I am resolved to handle matters differently in the future.
49:10Or perhaps not at all.
49:15I know society has dictated your present role in this family, Anthony, but with Daphne officially at I assure you
49:20I am more than capable.
49:26This is for Daphne.
49:29Tulips.
49:31They symbolize passion.
49:33A most appropriate hand for your sister when she decides to marry the Duke.
49:39Perhaps your bride would like the same.
49:43Goodnight, Mother.
50:07Surely your mistress does not plan on confining me to this bedroom forever?
50:12I should think one has only herself to blame for her confinement mess.
50:16You're almost right, Miss.
50:39Eloise?
50:43Did you need something?
50:45No.
50:49Yes.
50:51I am glad this business with Nigel Burbrook is over for you.
50:57Thank you.
51:02You hear stories about appalling arrangements and hopeless endings and...
51:10Well, it's all very frightening.
51:13Eloise, you mustn't worry about...
51:14You're not frightened too, sister.
51:17Of marriage. Of children.
51:21I find children to be delightful.
51:24Though you are not currently proving my point.
51:29Surely you've not forgotten what happened to Mama.
51:32Her screams that night.
51:35You tried to hide it while you were singing to me, but her voice...
51:40It rattled the windows.
51:43I hear them sometimes still in my dreams.
51:49She almost died.
51:51Me months after Papa.
51:56Of course I've not forgotten.
52:02Of course.
52:04I'm frightened.
52:06I dare say I would be a fool at this point not to be terrified.
52:11You remember correctly.
52:13That Mama had a...
52:15perilous night.
52:17But at dawn the world had Hyacinth.
52:21And we are all the richer for it.
52:24Yes, Eloise, there...
52:26Are perhaps...
52:28Darker turns in these woods than we've been taught to expect.
52:33There is light to be found at their end.
52:37And I know...
52:39One day...
52:40We both will find it.
52:45It must be taxing.
52:48What?
52:50The game of pretend that you feel you must endlessly maintain.
53:05It must be taxing.
53:38You should not have lost your temper with your bad works.
53:41You should not have lost your temper with your bad works.
53:42You should know something about Linus Bridgerton.
53:44I will not tolerate a bully.
53:47And you should know something about me, Your Grace.
53:50I will not have this go wrong.
53:52You mean our ruse.
53:55It's more than a ruse now.
53:58It is more than a negotiation.
54:01This is not just about finding the best match to impress Lady Whistledown.
54:06Or the Queen.
54:07Or any member of the town.
54:09This is about a life, Your Grace.
54:12My life.
54:14I must finally take charge of it.
54:17I cannot afford to do otherwise.
54:20So I shall not have this go wrong.
54:22And if you are not in agreement, then you should tell me now.
54:26I shall agree.
54:28On one condition.
54:30You do not understand, Your Grace.
54:32If you call me Simon.
54:34If we are truly to seem to be caught.
54:36If this is to be a match like no other.
54:38Then you should call me by my name.
54:40Very well.
54:43Simon.
54:45Is there something funny about my name?
54:47No, no.
54:49No.
54:50It is perfectly fine.
54:53You're perfectly fine.
54:54Very well.
54:56Daphne.
55:09I wish to find a husband.
55:13It's the time we have a family.
55:15Children.
55:17I wish to find your husband.
55:37May I have the pleasure?
55:42Of course.
55:52The two of you certainly make a captivating match, Your Grace.
56:02Whatever is bothering you.
56:10Nothing at all.
56:12Then, Daphne.
56:30My son.
56:32You have returned to take your rifle blades.
56:38My heart may be failing.
56:41But I assure you, this was a pride.
56:46The way that you can, you have grown into.
56:50And the great async.
56:53May we shall continue.
56:57Listen to me very closely.
57:01For I've only returned to do it one thing.
57:05To make you a vow.
57:07Any vow I will ever make in my life.
57:12I will never marry.
57:14I will never sign an heir.
57:18The Hastings line will die with me.
57:25Are my words clear enough for you, father?
57:31Speak.
57:32You fucking monster.
57:38Speak.
57:39Speak.
57:41Speak.
57:51Speak.
