00:00:54It could be better, but it could be worse.
00:01:01What is wrong with the mask you already made?
00:01:03Absolutely nothing.
00:01:05It took me three weeks to embroider.
00:01:07Imported French embroidery thread on Duchess's satin.
00:01:10It was perfect.
00:01:11I specifically made it out in the girls' dressing room this morning,
00:01:14and it has mysteriously disappeared.
00:01:16Ten minutes before the ball, of course.
00:01:18Where are the scissors?
00:01:19Oh, I left them in the room upstairs.
00:01:21Alfie, run and get them.
00:01:22There is no time.
00:01:38It's her.
00:01:39It is not finished.
00:01:40You go.
00:01:41I will finish.
00:01:43I know how to sew.
00:01:45Pray for me that I do not commit murder this evening.
00:02:06My lady, the carriage is ready out front, your reticles are by the door, and Miss Rosamond's
00:02:11new mask should be finished momentarily.
00:02:14We have found Rosamond's mask.
00:02:17Oh.
00:02:19That is excellent, Miss Rosamond.
00:02:20It was underneath my dressing table.
00:02:23Most unusual location for you to have placed it for me.
00:02:26I do not think Sophie put it there intentionally.
00:02:28Hush, Posie.
00:02:29Perhaps you knocked it off your dressing table and did not notice.
00:02:31Posie!
00:02:34Mother, perhaps we should pity Sophie.
00:02:36People become quite senseless when they are envious.
00:02:39She was clearly attempting to spoil my debut.
00:02:41Am I not right, Sophie?
00:02:42That is not true.
00:02:44One is not meant to make excuses.
00:02:48When one makes an error, one is meant to apologise.
00:02:55Forgive me.
00:02:56I could not hear you.
00:02:57Forgive me.
00:02:58Please accept my deepest apologies.
00:03:05Girls?
00:03:18Oh, I have just finished.
00:03:20They are already in the carriage.
00:03:22Miss Lee found her mask.
00:03:23Oh.
00:03:25Well, that's good I suppose.
00:03:27Well, at least they are gone.
00:03:29Miss Lee called me envious.
00:03:31Envious of what?
00:03:32A rudeness.
00:03:33Do you know what?
00:03:34He's right.
00:03:36I am envious.
00:03:38I am angry.
00:03:40Because they will attend the ball tonight
00:03:42and they will not appreciate any of it.
00:03:44They will come home complaining of something.
00:03:46Of the decoration being disappointing
00:03:48or the gowns being far inferior to theirs.
00:03:50Not Miss Posie.
00:03:51No, not poor Posie.
00:03:53But Lady Penwood.
00:03:54She will criticise everything.
00:03:56Can you imagine how beautiful a ball would be?
00:03:59I would give anything to go to a ball.
00:04:01Dancing in a beautiful room instead of cleaning it.
00:04:04Being looked at as if you belong in the room
00:04:06instead of as if you were a part of the furniture.
00:04:09Just once.
00:04:10Just to have that feeling for one glorious night.
00:04:16What?
00:04:19You could go tonight.
00:04:20What?
00:04:21I cannot go.
00:04:22I cannot go.
00:04:24But can you imagine?
00:04:27Lady Penwood would have me drawn and quartered.
00:04:29Oh.
00:04:31Though it is a masquerade ball.
00:04:34I would be in costume no one would know it was me.
00:04:36It would feel good to pull the wool over Lady Penwood's eyes.
00:04:39Exactly.
00:04:40The way she's treated you all these years.
00:04:43It is only one night.
00:04:47Oh, but I could not do it.
00:04:49But you could.
00:04:51It's only one night.
00:04:52A glorious night.
00:04:54All to yourself.
00:04:56Serving no one.
00:04:57Being a lady.
00:05:04You would need to find me a good costume.
00:05:06I would need to be well disguised.
00:05:08I do have this beautiful mask.
00:05:16The nightwear must be pressed and laid out.
00:05:18The hairbrushes all cleaned.
00:05:20The beds turned down.
00:05:20I know how to turn down the bed.
00:05:23Not to worry.
00:05:24Everything will be done exactly as you like.
00:05:26Oh!
00:05:28Not only can I saw, I have seen a woman in her shift before.
00:05:33I can tell many great surprises.
00:05:35The stable boys have the spare carriage ready out front.
00:05:44Where did you find that?
00:05:46I sent them to the attic.
00:05:48No one ever looks there.
00:05:49There is a trunk of old gowns up there that belong to the sister of Lord Penwood.
00:05:52Slightly out of fashion.
00:05:53But that is no matter.
00:05:55It's a masquerade.
00:05:59And I found gloves.
00:06:00It is beautiful.
00:06:07And...
00:06:09Silver shoes to match.
00:06:14Alfie.
00:06:16Those belong to Lady Penwood.
00:06:17She certainly cannot wear any of her dingy work shoes.
00:06:20Would you have a go barefooted?
00:06:22Lady Penwood would have a proper fit if she knew.
00:06:25What she notices is the shoes on, Sophie.
00:06:31Lady Penwood has more shoes than I can count.
00:06:34I doubt she will even notice.
00:06:37Am I right?
00:06:41Right.
00:06:41Right.
00:06:46Very well.
00:06:48You deserve to go tonight.
00:06:50You deserve to belong.
00:06:53It is your birthright, just as much as Miss Lee and Miss Posey.
00:07:00I can do this.
00:07:04I can do this.
00:07:16The chase.
00:07:18The hunt.
00:07:20The thrill.
00:07:21It is a fact that all the world is searching for something.
00:07:26And our dear Tom is no exception.
00:07:29The idea that I am not on the shelf is plainly fanciful.
00:07:33The season is way...
00:07:34Some are searching for meaning.
00:07:37Others, for their better halves.
00:07:40While others are searching for tranquility.
00:07:45Much like Lord and Lady Kilmartin, who have decided to seek respite in their London abode this season.
00:07:52Your husband has a natural way with children, does he not?
00:07:57And if you wish to invest in the collieries, they require a deposit at once.
00:08:01I believe the Viscount was quite keen to mention...
00:08:03And for the season's most notorious gentleman, Mr. Benedict Bridgerton, he was last seen arriving fashionably late to Lady Bridgerton's
00:08:13masquerade.
00:08:14Even the most determined rakes must bow to that most powerful of forces...
00:08:20Mothers.
00:08:21This author cannot help but wonder what he is searching for.
00:08:27But be cautious of searching too hard, dear reader, for you might not always like what you find.
00:08:34Sophie Peck!
00:08:39Where is that infernal girl?
00:08:41Right here, my lady.
00:08:42A pair of my shoes are marked, and I have not even worn them.
00:08:46They... are marked.
00:08:48I will make good with them.
00:08:49You are meant to notice such things, so I do not have to.
00:08:53You had better make them perfect.
00:08:55In fact, while you are at it, I should like all my shoes polished and re-stitched.
00:09:01And Rosamond's collection as well.
00:09:02We shall want her looking her best for Benedict Bridgerton.
00:09:06Mum, that is over 100 pairs.
00:09:08With me other duties, that could take months.
00:09:10Wonderful. By then you will become an expert.
00:09:20I do hope she arrives soon.
00:09:22Patience, Sophie.
00:09:23I know, but I cannot wait to meet her.
00:09:26I will finally have a mother.
00:09:27I have always wanted one.
00:09:29And I will have sisters to play with.
00:09:31And my new mother must be lovely and kind if she is marrying father.
00:09:37Sophie, this is very important.
00:09:40You must not call Lord Penwood father in front of the new Lady Penwood.
00:09:44Why?
00:09:45You simply must not.
00:09:55My new wife.
00:09:57My love.
00:09:59I am so pleased that you are finally here.
00:10:02I did not like being apart.
00:10:05Here are the children.
00:10:06This is Rosamond.
00:10:08And Posey.
00:10:10Hello, girls.
00:10:13Let me introduce you to the servants.
00:10:16This is our butler, Rumsey.
00:10:19Irma runs the kitchen.
00:10:25And this is Miss Timmins, our governess.
00:10:29And who is this darling girl?
00:10:32This is Sophie Peck.
00:10:35My ward.
00:10:39Just delightful to meet you.
00:10:43I know you will care for her as your own.
00:10:49Of course I shall.
00:10:51She is the picture of Grace and Chum, my lord.
00:10:53That is pleasing to hear.
00:11:18Is her ladyship really having you clean every one of her shoes?
00:11:22And Miss Rosamond's.
00:11:23While she harps on about how Miss Rosamond is going to ensnare Benedict Bridgerton.
00:11:27Poor Mr Bridgerton.
00:11:29If those two want him, not even the Queen's guard will be able to protect him.
00:11:33We shall want her looking her best for Mr Bridgerton.
00:11:38Do I detect jealousy, Miss Peck?
00:11:40Of Rosamond?
00:11:42You are not serious.
00:11:43But you've got your back up about something.
00:11:45I am cleaning a thousand shoes.
00:11:47My fingers are cramped. Of course my back is up.
00:11:49No. If it was about the shoes, you would be witter.
00:11:52Spiteful Sophie.
00:11:54This is sad.
00:11:55Sulky Sophie.
00:11:57Ever since the ball you...
00:12:01This is about the ball.
00:12:03It is.
00:12:04What are you hiding?
00:12:07Oh my.
00:12:09You met a gentleman.
00:12:14I met a gentleman.
00:12:15Dare I ask his name?
00:12:17No.
00:12:21Benedict Bridgerton.
00:12:22There it is.
00:12:23It is nothing.
00:12:24It was a moment and it is over.
00:12:26I will never see him again.
00:12:29I do not even want to see him again.
00:12:31When would I ever see him again?
00:12:33We are forgetting I ever met him. Is that clear?
00:13:01Should we perhaps discuss what occurred at the Masquerade Ball?
00:13:05Yes.
00:13:06Lady Bridgerton's ball was quite the spectacle, was it not?
00:13:10Any displays worth revisiting?
00:13:13Indeed.
00:13:14Can you believe that Benedict Bridgerton disappeared for the better half of the ball?
00:13:19We shall need to keep a watchful eye on him when you host your ball.
00:13:23When I host...
00:13:25Your Majesty.
00:13:28Have you forgotten my request?
00:13:30You will host a ball, will you not?
00:13:33Have you thought of a theme?
00:13:35Apologies for the intrusion, Your Majesty.
00:13:38Lady Baird requests an audience.
00:13:47Well?
00:13:48Your Majesty, it appears Lady Baird is in a delicate state.
00:13:52With your permission, she wishes to be relieved of her duties for her confinement and to return after the birth.
00:13:59You may take your leave, but know it will be permanent.
00:14:05You may withdraw.
00:14:10The audacity?
00:14:11No regard for reason or responsibility, let alone the bother to me.
00:14:16Does one not take one's queen into consideration when making such decisions?
00:14:22How fortunate for Lady Baird that she has a queen generous enough to relieve her of her duties without hesitation.
00:14:27I am known to be exceedingly generous when it is deserved.
00:14:40Thank you for the game.
00:14:43It has been quite illuminating.
00:14:46My sympathies for the loss of Lady Baird.
00:15:03You see?
00:15:04Mm-hmm.
00:15:05They do not even look my way.
00:15:07No-one is interested in me.
00:15:08Because you've built a reputation of being unapproachable.
00:15:10That is hardly true. I'm most amiable.
00:15:13Then try smiling at one of them.
00:15:14What?
00:15:15No.
00:15:16Please, no.
00:15:17If you are so sure they are not interested, then what is the harm?
00:15:21Here we are.
00:15:23Mm.
00:15:33Oh, no.
00:15:34I don't know.
00:15:41Mother.
00:15:42Louise.
00:15:44My.
00:15:46You look so handsome.
00:15:48You sound surprised.
00:15:49What she means to say, she is surprised to see you out of bed before noon.
00:15:53In fact, I have come to act as chaperone for my dear sister, who as I hear it is in
00:15:58need of one as she is decidedly not on the shelf.
00:16:03Erm.
00:16:05Benedict.
00:16:06Yes.
00:16:07Please.
00:16:08Erm.
00:16:09I would...
00:16:10Start with Baron Henderson.
00:16:11Mm-hmm.
00:16:14You do not mean it.
00:16:15Whatever this ruse is.
00:16:17Of course not.
00:16:19Then what a fine morning, how lovely to see you.
00:16:21Oh, well, may you talk to anyone.
00:16:23Mm, but you require a favour in return.
00:16:24I do need your help.
00:16:27We must find the owner of this glove.
00:16:28Why ever do you have a lady's glove?
00:16:31Because a lady lost it.
00:16:33I would like to return it to her.
00:16:34Do not mention it to Mother, by the way.
00:16:36You know very well you should not be toying with the affections of debutantes, which you are most certainly trying
00:16:41to do if you do not wish for Mama to know.
00:16:42I'm doing no such thing.
00:16:44I simply would like to thank this particular young woman for a genial conversation.
00:16:50In return, I shall protect you from Mother and her matchmaking reign of terror.
00:16:57You are often my favourite brother.
00:16:59How do you wish to begin?
00:17:05Thank goodness that is family.
00:17:07We do not have to wait in line with all those gossips.
00:17:09Oh, they do not come here to gossip.
00:17:11We need to bring a kiss.
00:17:12And then, conveniently, each happens to remember a little gossip.
00:17:15Ah, clever.
00:17:16Oh, trust me, it is not.
00:17:17I am afraid Colin is out for his monthly engagement with Mr Finch and Mr Dankworth where they eat all
00:17:21of London.
00:17:22Ah, well, in fact, I am here to see you.
00:17:24Oh.
00:17:25Benedict has met a young lady.
00:17:26Ah, I am merely trying to return a glove.
00:17:28A glove of a lady dressed in silver with whom you disappeared.
00:17:32Lady Whistledown sees everything Benedict.
00:17:34Although, I will confess, I did not recognise her.
00:17:36Who is she?
00:17:37I do not know.
00:17:38All I have is this glove.
00:17:41I thought, since you do see everything...
00:17:45What do you know about her?
00:17:48Um...
00:17:49Please tell us you asked about her interests, brother.
00:17:52You did not bore her to death with talk of yourself.
00:17:54I asked her many questions, but her answers were few.
00:17:57She...
00:17:59grew up in England.
00:18:01She...
00:18:03prefers deep water.
00:18:05She, er, does not know how to dance, which was puzzling.
00:18:08Oh, and she reads Whistledown.
00:18:09Well, she has excellent taste, but that does not give us much.
00:18:15Well...
00:18:17I thought...
00:18:20I wonder...
00:18:20if you...
00:18:22might send a message in Whistledown.
00:18:24To help me return her glove.
00:18:27Well...
00:18:29I will not be able to mention her or her costume in any way.
00:18:32Why not?
00:18:32I could not have been the only one at the ball to notice the two of you.
00:18:35She was alone on a terrace with a man, that is bad enough.
00:18:38What is even worse is that that man is a...
00:18:40a notorious rake.
00:18:42How dare you?
00:18:43I am a lover of pleasure, a free spirit untrammelled by mere convention.
00:18:48You're a rake.
00:18:49Yes.
00:18:51She will never come forward.
00:18:52If she did, her reputation will be tarnished.
00:18:56Then...
00:18:57mention me.
00:19:00But say...
00:19:01that I am looking for someone.
00:19:04Perhaps that will assure her I am...
00:19:07more serious.
00:19:09One hint that you might be interested in courtship and you will be besieged by mothers.
00:19:14Anna's right.
00:19:15Once the floodgates are open, you cannot close them.
00:19:17I can manage a few mamas.
00:19:21Her Majesty is going to relish this.
00:19:23I can manage Her Majesty.
00:19:26I think.
00:19:27Possibly.
00:19:28Well, not really, but do it anyway.
00:19:38Dearest gentle reader, this season the ton may have a new prize to seek.
00:19:44The heart of a certain second son.
00:19:47It seems this free-spirited reveller has been seen regularly strolling Rotten Row, intent on leaving the bachelor life behind
00:19:58and attending many more balls.
00:20:26The latest whistle-down, ma'am.
00:20:29The latest whistle-down, ma'am.
00:20:29The latest whistle-down, ma'am.
00:20:32Is this handsome gentleman come out of the cold to join the warmth of society?
00:20:39Could it be that this rake has reformed?
00:20:44Is there a marriage-minded mama or a young lady who would not rejoice at this news?
00:20:51Rosamond!
00:20:55Perhaps there is a particular lady whose company he seeks.
00:21:00This author can only speculate.
00:21:03She's describing Benedict Bridgerton.
00:21:07So fair.
00:21:09I have read every issue of whistle-down.
00:21:12This is clearly about him.
00:21:15What if he is looking for you?
00:21:23Do not be foolish.
00:21:24He must meet a different young woman at every ball.
00:21:26This could be about anyone.
00:21:28Sophie!
00:21:30Sophie!
00:21:32Ready Rosamond for Rotten Row.
00:21:34Perhaps in blue.
00:21:37You will look exquisite, my dear.
00:21:54I do not want to.
00:21:56Did we not make an agreement?
00:21:58Yes, but the agreement entails you protecting me from suitors,
00:22:01not thrusting me into the lion's den.
00:22:02They might have information.
00:22:03And if mother does not see you speaking to suitors at least once,
00:22:06she will surely enter things.
00:22:07Is that logical coerful?
00:22:09Lord Tuss!
00:22:10Lord Pike!
00:22:12What a lovely day for a promenade, is it not?
00:22:15And what a charming relation you have brought on this promenade.
00:22:24I shall leave you to get better acquaintance.
00:22:34Lord Tuss.
00:22:36I understand you have a sister.
00:22:38Does she, perhaps, not know how to dance?
00:22:42No.
00:22:44Oh, where is he?
00:22:47Oh.
00:22:50Mr Bridgerton.
00:22:51Hmm.
00:22:51A beautiful day, is it not?
00:22:53Indeed.
00:22:59A perfect day for taking the waters, ladies.
00:23:02Do you not think?
00:23:03I suppose so.
00:23:05Though I much prefer to stay on dry land.
00:23:09Oh.
00:23:22I certainly enjoy a swim.
00:23:24Do you?
00:23:26I do not believe we have met, Miss...
00:23:30Rosamond Lee.
00:23:32Oh.
00:23:33Why is a sudden shift?
00:23:35I confess.
00:23:36I confess.
00:23:36I do not know.
00:23:37Hmm.
00:23:38And I am not inquiring for fear of him changing his mind.
00:23:41Hmm.
00:23:41Is it not foolish for so many young ladies to flock to just one gentleman?
00:23:45It is like a gaggle of geese vying for the same piece of bread.
00:23:48They will all leave hungry.
00:23:50Many of these young ladies look as if they could use a piece of...
00:23:53Shh.
00:23:56What happened?
00:23:57He's going so well.
00:23:58He seemed charmed.
00:23:59Talked about my costume and then he turned away.
00:24:02Men are fickle.
00:24:03Keep your spirits up.
00:24:04We shall solve this yet.
00:24:08What were your costumes at the masquerade?
00:24:11I was the swan.
00:24:12I dressed as Queen Anne.
00:24:13A wood mince.
00:24:14Interesting.
00:24:27innen?
00:24:46Yeah.
00:24:47So...
00:25:16We have been
00:25:18to six balls
00:25:21and seven
00:25:22soirees. We have
00:25:24promenaded so much.
00:25:26My feet have swollen up
00:25:28and no sign of this glove lady.
00:25:32Jesus,
00:25:32may we get up now,
00:25:34go back to shunning the world.
00:25:38You may shun
00:25:40at will.
00:25:41Consider yourself released from this favour.
00:25:44Dearest, gentle
00:25:46reader, while this wasser
00:25:48had hopes of a certain second
00:25:50son settling down,
00:25:52it seems the well of hope
00:25:54may have run dry.
00:25:56Parched indeed are the young
00:25:58ladies of the tawn, though it seems
00:26:00the suitor for whom they thirst
00:26:02has eyes only for a
00:26:04woman who has yet to appear.
00:26:06Mother, what mistake have I made?
00:26:08He is the catch of the season.
00:26:10He deserves to be with me.
00:26:16Does the distress of my daughter
00:26:17amuse you?
00:26:18Of course not, my lady.
00:26:20Good.
00:26:32This author must wonder
00:26:34if the search is soon
00:26:36to come to a close.
00:26:38For a gentleman
00:26:40can only wander the desert
00:26:41so long without a drink.
00:26:44Shall I read
00:26:45Whistle Down to you,
00:26:46Your Majesty?
00:26:50No.
00:26:53Lady Bridgerton
00:26:54is here to see you, Mum.
00:26:56What a delight.
00:26:57Penelope, what do you know
00:26:58about my son's search for a wife?
00:26:59Forgive me, but Lady Whistle Down
00:27:01cannot reveal her...
00:27:01Penelope Bridgerton!
00:27:02Yes, Mum.
00:27:29Mother.
00:27:31You're working.
00:27:34May I sit?
00:27:36Of course.
00:27:43Was there something
00:27:44you wished to discuss?
00:27:45Me?
00:27:45Oh, no, not me.
00:27:46You, maybe?
00:27:47Me?
00:27:48No, not me.
00:27:49You'd be interested to know
00:27:50that I had a most fascinating
00:27:52conversation with Penelope.
00:27:55Oh.
00:27:56She claims that this bachelor
00:27:58that she writes about
00:27:58in Whistle Down,
00:27:59the one ready to seek a wife,
00:28:01in earnest,
00:28:03that he asked her
00:28:04to write about him.
00:28:05He did.
00:28:07Well, that seems old.
00:28:08I agree.
00:28:09Mm.
00:28:10And she says it was because
00:28:11he met someone
00:28:11at my masquerade ball.
00:28:13She said that.
00:28:14When I bullied it out of her, yes.
00:28:16But a gentleman would never
00:28:19do such a thing
00:28:20to his poor mother.
00:28:22Going behind her back,
00:28:24hiding the fact
00:28:25that perhaps her one great wish
00:28:26for her son
00:28:27was about to come true,
00:28:29that he had met a young lady,
00:28:30that he was
00:28:31ready to marry.
00:28:32No son would be so cruel.
00:28:38Would he?
00:28:44Very well.
00:28:46I...
00:28:48Oh, dear.
00:28:49You have her glove?
00:28:50Benedict,
00:28:51if you have spoiled
00:28:52this young lady...
00:28:53Nothing until Ward happened.
00:28:55She left before the unmasking.
00:28:57I did not even get her name.
00:28:58She dropped this
00:28:58in her haste to leave me.
00:29:01It matters not.
00:29:02I barely know what she looked like
00:29:03and can no longer remember
00:29:04the sound of her voice.
00:29:05Searching for her
00:29:05has been fruitless.
00:29:06Which is why
00:29:08you should confide
00:29:09in your mother.
00:29:10If you had,
00:29:11I would have told you
00:29:12to start with Penwood House.
00:29:14This glove is an heirloom.
00:29:16The old lady Penwood,
00:29:18this young lady's grandmother,
00:29:19likely.
00:29:20It was her fashion
00:29:21to have the family crest
00:29:22on the inside of her gloves.
00:29:24Our family used to know hers.
00:29:26No.
00:29:27I met Miss Lee.
00:29:28She is not the lady
00:29:29I met at your ball.
00:29:30Oh.
00:29:31Yeah, good.
00:29:33But it is possible
00:29:35that there are
00:29:36other young ladies
00:29:37staying with the family.
00:30:06Sophie,
00:30:07are you not supposed
00:30:08to be in dance lessons?
00:30:10Lady Penwood thought
00:30:11it best I not continue
00:30:12with Rosamond and Posey.
00:30:14I see.
00:30:15Hmm.
00:30:16Well,
00:30:16I am sure we will
00:30:18resolve this.
00:30:25Sir?
00:30:28Could I ask you
00:30:29about my mother?
00:30:40what do you wish to know?
00:30:42I have no memories of her.
00:30:44You have your necklace.
00:30:46How did she die?
00:30:58You miss your mother.
00:30:59That is natural.
00:31:01But I am here now.
00:31:03And I will always make sure
00:31:05you are taken care of.
00:31:07I promise.
00:31:29Sophie, there is a gentleman caller.
00:31:32for me.
00:31:34I am being called on.
00:31:36I have a suit up.
00:31:37That is marvelous.
00:31:39Let us tidy your hair
00:31:39so we can see
00:31:40how beautiful you are.
00:31:41Okay.
00:31:53Breathe.
00:32:04How do you do?
00:32:06It is a pleasure to meet you.
00:32:35And then all of a sudden
00:32:37my hands became feet
00:32:38and I was forced to walk
00:32:39across the stage
00:32:40with my feet hands.
00:32:42Everyone in the audience laughed.
00:32:44Certainly you'd do the same
00:32:46if you saw someone
00:32:46with hands for feet.
00:32:48I mean feet for hands.
00:32:50Anyway,
00:32:50that is why I can
00:32:52no longer attend the theatre.
00:32:53That is enough, Posie.
00:32:55Mr Bridgerton
00:32:56is not interested
00:32:56in your dreams.
00:32:57I am interested.
00:32:59Your dreams are surely
00:33:01more inventive
00:33:01than any play I've seen.
00:33:22He is looking for you.
00:33:24He asked for Posie.
00:33:30Look how kind he is to her.
00:33:46He is there.
00:33:48Right there
00:33:49in the drawing room.
00:33:51You should go in.
00:33:54Perhaps he will recognize you.
00:33:56He will not.
00:33:57It was one night a moment.
00:34:00He does not even know
00:34:01what I look like.
00:34:02And tell him.
00:34:03What?
00:34:03Go in there
00:34:04and tell him
00:34:05who you are.
00:34:07This
00:34:09is your chance,
00:34:10Sophie.
00:34:15Lady Penwood.
00:34:15Once he sees you,
00:34:16once you tell him,
00:34:17Lady Penwood
00:34:18will not signify.
00:34:19Why?
00:34:37He could be here
00:34:38for any reason.
00:34:39He does not want to find me.
00:34:41He is clearly
00:34:42looking
00:34:43for you.
00:34:47Go in there.
00:34:50Go in there.
00:34:51Go in there.
00:35:04He does not want to find me.
00:35:05He does not want to find me.
00:35:09He wants to find the lady
00:35:11in the silver gown.
00:35:14And she is not real.
00:35:17Yes, absolutely.
00:35:19Tell me more.
00:35:23I have work to do.
00:35:24keep moving.
00:35:34Amen.
00:35:40Elise.
00:35:42k
00:36:04does that imagination come out in other ways in dressing up perhaps i love dressing up
00:36:14one time when i was a child before we hear more about that i would love to hear about the
00:36:19costume you
00:36:19wore for the masquerade she was a mermaid ah so you were not wearing silver no but i wanted to
00:36:28silver and purple for the scales but i was told no tale did someone in silver catch your eye at
00:36:36the
00:36:36masquerade oh i talked to so many people that night i'm simply trying to recall who's who of course
00:36:44so you two are sisters do you have any cousins or friends of the family who've been staying here
00:36:55it is always so nice to have company it is only us and that is all we need of course
00:37:15what was his intention in coming here if not caught you
00:37:19is that a lady's glove what is he looking at
00:37:29so
00:37:34so
00:37:57brimsley her majesty is taking her royal nap i do not have long
00:38:00what is wrong is it his majesty the king you must come back request an audience with her
00:38:06majesty apologize she'll do no such thing i have nothing to apologize for she is gossiping at me
00:38:14but i failed to gossip back in the right way she wishes to speak about benedict bridgerton
00:38:18but my replies are never the right ones she will not allow me to clear her chessboard she refuses to
00:38:24finish the game okay she is her majesty she is always at her best of course she is glorious
00:38:31but perhaps one might imagine it is possible she might be
00:38:36desponding you know you do not need to have something to apologize for
00:38:40if her majesty needs an apology one apologizes for nothing she is our queen
00:38:54i do not much feel like apologizing and i am certainly not interested in playing chess or
00:39:01gossiping with her majesty at present let her be entertained by her ladies in waiting
00:39:07lady danbury there was a time when you were her lady in waiting
00:39:12it was different she was different
00:39:17you have been witnessed his majesty is you were there then she will not be close to these ladies
00:39:27now and she will not even try to replace lady baird you know that and you know why
00:39:33the chess match must not remain unfinished she is struggling in your absence
00:39:43in the absence in the absence of her friend her only friend her world is getting smaller
00:39:54i must return please lady tanbury
00:40:18lady penwood may i help you
00:40:24i realized i never expressed my gratitude for all your hard work with my shoes
00:40:34i should like to reward you
00:40:38would you try these on i know how much you love the little luxuries of society
00:40:44no thank you my lady it was not a suggestion i have other duties to attend to ma you are
00:40:48relieved
00:40:49from other duties until you honor this request put them on now
00:41:16a perfect fit i'm as surprised as you
00:41:20imagine my surprise when i discovered that you know how to dress yourself respectfully
00:41:25in fact the shoes did not clash at all with the silver dress i found under your mattress
00:41:31it was you you marked my silver shoes you slipped into the masquerade ball
00:41:37do not insult me by denying it
00:41:43then get it over with and punish me
00:41:46if you if you want all the silver in the house polished i shall do it if you want me
00:41:49on my hands
00:41:50and knees scrubbing floors very well there is no punishment that fits the crime of going to a ball
00:41:55and impersonating nobility of stealing my shoes those gloves and that dress from my home
00:42:02it is my home as well how dare you this was never your home i have suffered having you under
00:42:08my roof all
00:42:09these years and you repay me with this duplicity how have you suffered i have served your every whim
00:42:15all these years without wages without complaint i have provided you with protection far more than
00:42:19you would have found on your own and clearly far more than you have ever deserved then why
00:42:25out of the goodness of the heart you do not possess it is clear you have despised me from the
00:42:29beginning so tell me why have you kept me here if i have been such a burden to you why
00:42:43you could have put me on the street as soon as father died do not call him
00:42:49you were his error but my mistake was attempting to help someone beyond hope
00:42:58so perhaps you are right
00:43:02i should have put you out on the street
00:43:09you are dismissed and you will never work again in mayfair
00:43:13i will make sure of it

00:44:13We never should have sent you to that ball.
00:44:16He did not send me.
00:44:17I sent myself.
00:44:20All you and Alfie did was help make my dream come true.
00:44:23We made a collection.
00:44:25It is not much, but it should at least get you a week at a boarding house.
00:44:37Do not say anything.
00:44:40I want to stay angry.
00:44:47Do not open it now.
00:44:49It is not much, but perhaps you could sell it.
00:44:51Goodbye, Sophie.
00:44:52Do not forget yourself.
00:44:56It is such a shame that you could not perform your duties.
00:45:00Good luck.
00:45:01Good luck.
00:45:02Good luck.
00:45:16Good luck.
00:45:41The shoe clip's posing.
00:46:07The shoe clip's posing.
00:46:32I have come to apologise, Your Majesty.
00:46:39My apologies.
00:46:43You may go.
00:46:56Your move.
00:47:15Your Majesty.
00:47:18You cannot go.
00:47:20I will not allow it.
00:47:21I know this may be difficult for you.
00:47:22You cannot.
00:47:23You will not.
00:47:24Well, let us be reasonable.
00:47:26No.
00:47:27You will not go.
00:47:29I forbid it.
00:47:30You cannot forbid me.
00:47:32I can.
00:47:32You cannot.
00:47:33I can.
00:47:34You cannot.
00:47:35Not if we are friends.
00:47:37I am your queen.
00:47:40So I am merely your subject.
00:47:43You are my subject.
00:47:49I understand.
00:47:58My deepest apologies for forgetting my position.
00:48:10I shall go.
00:48:19I am sorry.
00:48:26I did not mean it.
00:48:28I am sorry.
00:48:30My apologies.
00:48:36All is well.
00:48:39Your Majesty.
00:48:41All is well.
00:48:43Agatha.
00:48:44Agatha, you cannot leave me here all alone.
00:48:49What happens when he dies?
00:48:57Agatha, you cannot leave me here all alone.
00:49:02What happens when he dies?
00:49:04I am here.
00:49:25Hollow.
00:49:26Diamonds are weighty.
00:49:28These are paste.
00:49:29They are counterfeit.
00:49:31Are you certain?
00:49:32I need enough money to get out of London.
00:49:34I will take your necklace for a pretty sum, no?
00:49:39Which is not for sale.
00:49:41Well, that is all I can offer you then.
00:49:44Might be enough to get you on a mail coach.
00:50:15Care for company?
00:50:20Have you been displeased with me?
00:50:26I have not seen much anymore.
00:50:28It took you long enough to notice.
00:50:29Louise.
00:50:30You realise you were cast out of the clubhouse?
00:50:33Was I in a club?
00:50:34We were.
00:50:35We were.
00:50:37We were.
00:50:37I thought we would be unyielding together, with regard to marriage, but you have crossed
00:50:42over to the other side.
00:50:44Oh, I am not getting married any time soon.
00:50:47But you wanted to.
00:50:48To the glove lady.
00:50:52I thought it could be possible, but she clearly did not agree.
00:50:59Why would she?
00:51:02Why would she not?
00:51:04You and I both know I am not the Bridgerton anyone should give their heart to.
00:51:09The Unserious One.
00:51:12The Rake.
00:51:13The Free Spirit.
00:51:20You may need to let me back into our clubhouse.
00:51:23Oh, brother.
00:51:24Do not fret.
00:51:26I am only, um...
00:51:29I think I need to clear my head.
00:51:30I think I should go out.
00:51:32Oh, I sense a drinking bout.
00:51:34Please!
00:51:36Do not leave me in Mama's hands.
00:51:39Our mother might surprise you.
00:52:06Our mother might surprise you.
00:52:20Thank you so much.
00:52:37To be continued to reveal in the park,
00:52:56Excuse me, sir.
00:52:57Oh, she's too fast for you, Henry.
00:52:59I shall get her by the end of the night.
00:53:11Bridgerton.
00:53:13Cavender finally dragged us both out to one of his parties.
00:53:16It seems that way.
00:53:18Where are we?
00:53:19Lord and Lady Cavender's country estate.
00:53:21They are in London for the weekend.
00:53:24Phil is on a spree.
00:53:26I've not seen you in our circle lately.
00:53:28No.
00:53:31Do you remember Virginia?
00:53:34The actress?
00:53:36I believe so.
00:53:38We have fallen in love.
00:53:41She has agreed to be my mistress.
00:53:44Because one woman was not enough for you.
00:53:47There must be someone out there for you.
00:53:51Hiscox!
00:53:52Bridgerton!
00:53:53If you do not place a bet this round, we will be forced to wager which one of you can
00:53:57be
00:53:57pushed into the lake with your trousers down.
00:54:21You can't bend a little.
00:54:22You're found too solemn for such a pretty thing.
00:54:25I do not indulge, my lord.
00:54:27Surely your kitchen duties can wait.
00:54:30Run!
00:54:31Lock yourself in your room!
00:54:32You bitch!
00:54:33I shall scream if you touch me!
00:54:35Oh, we do like it when they scream!
00:54:36You bitch!
00:54:37You bitch!
00:54:38You bitch!
00:54:41You bitch!
00:54:42You bitch!
00:54:42I do not have done a play any longer.
00:54:45You bitch!
00:54:54Enough! Enough! She's only a maid! Apologize, sir!
00:55:03I... I apologize. I apologize.
00:55:06Treat a woman in such a manner ever again.
00:55:10An old person ensure you never return to society.
00:55:13Do you understand?
00:55:18Yes.
00:55:24It goes for you as well.
00:55:27We shall never touch her.
00:55:30Because she no longer works here.
00:55:46Mr. Bridgerton.
00:55:52Forgive me, but do we know one another?
00:56:00Did you work for a household I visited, or...?
00:56:07No, we do not know each other.
00:56:10Then how do you know my name?
00:56:11I... I heard it.
00:56:15Earlier, someone said it.
00:56:17Excuse me, sir.
00:56:32I cannot believe he is gone.
00:56:37It will not be the same without him.
00:56:42Especially for you.
00:56:50I am so sorry, Sophie.
00:56:53I only heard from the solicitor this morning.
00:56:58The late Lord Penwood did not include you in his will.
00:57:03He would not do that.
00:57:04He...
00:57:06He promised he would always care for me.
00:57:08Yes.
00:57:10Yes.
00:57:10He was a kind man who could not stand being cruel.
00:57:13But the truth is that his love rests in his legacy,
00:57:16and there is no mention of you in the will.
00:57:21No.
00:57:22No, my father loved me.
00:57:27Yes.
00:57:27Yes.
00:57:27I can understand why you believe that.
00:57:32Your mother allowed herself to believe the same.
00:57:37Well, Penwood never told you the truth.
00:57:41I see you left both of us in the dark about certain things.
00:57:46Your mother was a maid.
00:57:48A maid who let herself become a mistress.
00:57:53She died when you were very small.
00:57:55With no title.
00:57:57No money.
00:57:58No dignity.
00:57:59And no husband.
00:58:03She was not a part of Lord Penwood's legacy either.
00:58:12Do not worry.
00:58:15I will take care of you now.
00:58:18I will feed you.
00:58:20Clothe you.
00:58:21And keep a roof over your head.
00:58:25You will work as a maid.
00:58:31But I am the daughter of the nobleman.
00:58:34You are illegitimate.
00:58:36Being a maid is the best you can hope for.
00:58:40It will make you invisible.
00:58:42Trust me.
00:58:45You will be protected this way.
00:58:50As long as you do not allow yourself to dream of more than your station.
00:58:56As your mother did.
00:59:19You all right?
00:59:21Where are you going?
00:59:23Away, sir.
00:59:24I must find other work.
00:59:25It is the middle of the night in the middle of the country.
00:59:28Yes, sir.
00:59:29And the nearest town where I might find employment is several hours away, so I must start walking.
00:59:33But let me take you.
00:59:34I am not going anywhere with you, Mr Bridgerton.
00:59:37He lost me my position, the very thing I need to survive.
00:59:39But you are clearly better off without that position.
00:59:42Mr Cavanagh's parents were returning in the morning.
00:59:44I only had to make it through the night.
00:59:46What about when his parents went away again?
00:59:48Did you mean always to be on your guard?
00:59:50That is no way to live.
00:59:52And do you believe I am afforded that choice?
00:59:54Good night, sir.
00:59:57I will find another position for you in London.
01:00:01Somewhere safe.
01:00:01I have already tried that.
01:00:03Eh.
01:00:04I have my ways.
01:00:06I promise.
01:00:10Please.
01:00:11You cannot walk in the dark.
01:00:12It is unsafe.
01:00:17I assure you I will not lay a hand on you.
01:00:21Unlike Cavender, I was raised to respect maids.
01:00:24I shall not even look at you.
01:00:39To the Atpects
01:00:39Dearest gentle reader,
01:00:41Seems this column's favourite second son
01:00:44Was whisked to the countryside this week,
01:00:47Seemingly concluding the search for his mystery lady.
01:00:53You certain we've not met,
01:00:59How could we have, sir?
01:01:03I am only a mate.
01:01:17Hearts across Mayfair are surely shattered indeed.
01:01:22This author hopes that in his retreat, our reveler will find whatever it is he truly seeks.
01:01:29Only time will tell.
