05:54...receive the most befuddling letter.

06:01You, my dear, have received an offer of marriage.

06:06A what?

06:07An offer from an incredibly wealthy gentleman with an old and prestigious title.

06:24Good heavens!

06:26Ah.

06:29What I cannot fathom is why the Duke has settled on you.

06:35You cannot even be remotely acquainted with our family.

06:38The Duke?

06:39Of course, dear. The Duke of Kilda!

06:43The Duke of Kilda has asked for my hand in marriage.

06:47Quite specifically.

06:51I do not believe a word of it.

06:53After all, I do not know his grace.

06:56Or any grace, for that matter.

07:07Mr Lancaster.

07:09I am requesting the hand of your eldest daughter in marriage.

07:13I am prepared to settle upon your three remaining daughters,

07:16twenty thousand each for their dowries,

07:18and fifty thousand upon yourself for the sake of your sons.

07:23The ceremony will take place October the 1st at the Fulston Chapel.

07:28Please reply as to your intentions.

07:31Yours.

07:32Etc.

07:33Your daughter killed her.

07:37Kilda.

07:38It is certainly not the most romantic nor flattering of her proposals, to be sure.

07:43This ceremony will take place.

07:45There is not the slightest acknowledgement that the unforeseen offer might be declined.

07:51This offer amounts to more than a hundred thousand pounds.

08:05What is the Duke of Kilda like?

08:08Like?

08:11Well.

08:12Couldn't say.

08:13I have not met the current Duke.

08:15What was his father like?

08:18Huh?

08:20Dull as dishwater.

08:25But his mother is an active soul.

08:35P-C.

08:37Dull.

08:39Dull.

08:41Dull.

08:42Dull.

08:43Dull.

08:44Dull.

08:45Dull.

08:46Dull.

08:47Dull.

08:48hardly comprehend such a sum it is more than 500 years worth our current income it is more than

08:56five times the income of the duke of sussex and he is son of the king good heavens we would

09:01have

09:02food enough to eat we would not need to wash laundry for pennies the boys could soon leave

09:08the navy and return home all of your impossible dreams would suddenly be entirely possible

09:15this would not merely save our family it would save generations of our family duke of kilda

09:21you might be prone to anger or unkindness what what if he mistreats you what if being married

09:27to him makes you miserable for the rest of your life it is also possible he will be kind and

09:32considerate you don't know anything about him only that he clearly has a tremendous amount of money

09:39and wishes to marry me he gave no indication why you needn't simply accept this offer

09:44one may yet come from someone that you at least know won't treat you abominably there will be no

09:48other offers if i do not accept this one our family will sink further even the simple hopes we currently

09:56have will be out of reach then all of your hopes will be snatched away this family's happiness is

10:01worth every sacrifice isn't your happiness worth something as well artemis has always told the tale

10:07of hades and persephone quite accurately persephone doesn't get to be happy and you mean to accept the duke's

10:37who invited all of these people i did it is not every day my poor boy takes a bride

10:45this was supposed to be a quiet ceremony i do not believe miss lancaster has invited anyone beyond her

10:52own immediate family i did not intend to cause awkwardness adam i only wish to celebrate

11:12i wonder if the chit will actually turn up try to resist the urge to run through any of the

11:18wedding guests

11:25where the devil is she another five minutes and i'll go retrieve her myself

11:45when is this going to stop i'm hungry

11:48i'm hungry

11:48what's this

11:49oh my god it'll be fine

11:59it's decided to come after all

12:01oh my god

12:42Dearly beloved, we are gathered here together in the sight of God and the face of this

12:48congregation to join together this man and this woman in holy matrimony, an honorable

12:55estate instituted of God in the time of man's innocence, signifying unto us the mystical

13:02union betwixt Christ and his church. Therefore, if any man can show any just cause why they

13:10should not lawfully be joined together, let him speak, or else hereafter forever hold his peace.

13:20Do you ship lost in my game? Go on. Who giveth this woman to be married to this man?

13:42Apparently I give it myself.

13:48Take her right hand in yours.

13:57I, Adam Richard Boyce, Duke of Kilda, Marquess of Fauston, Earl of Fauston, Viscount Beness,

14:01Baron Fauston, Baron Whiteley, take thee to be my wedded wife, to have and to hold from this day

14:06forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to

14:10cherish till death do us part according to God's holy ordinance, and thereto I plight thee my troth.

14:22I, Persephone...

14:23I, Persephone...

14:23Ridiculous.

14:31Lancaster, do...

14:36Do take thee to be my wedded husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for

14:43worse,

14:44for richer, for poorer, in sickness and health, to love and to cherish,

14:50till death do us part, according to God's holy ordinance, and thereto I give thee my troth.

14:59They had everything?

15:00Not usually.

15:01Can it be?

15:02I suppose all the truly essential bits have been ceded to.

15:08Those whom God hath joined together, let no man put asunder.

15:14To the castle, then.

15:17merry.

15:19Hi.

15:20Come here.

16:08Is your name really Persephone?

16:12It is.

16:14Do you not think to ask?

16:18What were your parents thinking, choosing a name like that?

16:23My father is a scholar.

16:25He's particularly fond of Greek mythology.

16:28Entirely too fond, you don't seem.

16:30Are the rest of your siblings similarly afflicted?

16:33In what way afflicted?

16:35What absurd names did your parents assign the other members of your family?

16:40Athena is just younger than I.

16:42Vandrum is 14, Linus 13.

16:44Daphne will be 12 toward the end of the year.

16:47The youngest is Artemis.

16:49Fate save us from short-sighted scholars.

16:52Do you have a middle name?

16:54I do.

16:55I suppose it is entirely too much to hope that it is something common.

17:01Iphigenia.

17:04Persephone Iphigenia.

17:06Did no one ever call you anything else?

17:09Only Miss Lancaster.

17:11I cannot call you that.

17:13I suppose I will have to consign myself to Persephone.

17:16It would seem so.

17:21You, of course, will call me Kilda.

17:23I will not call you Kilda.

17:24Everyone calls me Kilda.

17:26Kilda?

17:27It sounds as if I am accusing you of a crime.

17:32You would no doubt prefer Agamemnon.

17:35Or Apollo.

17:36Or something along that vein.

17:38My papa certainly would.

17:40Would you propose to call me then?

17:43Adam?

17:43No one calls me Adam.

17:45No one?

17:46Certainly your family and closest friends would.

17:51Harry does.

17:53Who is Harry?

17:54A friend.

17:56One who allows himself far too much freedom.

18:12No one wants to know...

18:14Heiles.

18:17Heiles.

18:20Heiles.

18:21Heiles.

18:24Heiles.

18:25Heiles.

19:23This is Barton, the butler.

19:26Mrs. Smithson, the housekeeper.

19:30Duchess of Kilda.

19:52Mrs. Smithson will see to whatever you need.

20:17I'm likely meant to be shown all of the castle.

20:20But I would very much like to rest.

20:23Perhaps you could simply point out the rooms I need to know today and save the rest for tomorrow.

20:27Of course, Your Grace.

20:35The Drawing Room.

20:38A favourite of Queen Elizabeth when she stayed at Fauston Castle in 1580.

20:46Do members of the royal family still visit Fauston?

20:51Heavens no!

20:53They wouldn't dare.

20:56This is the Grand Banquet Hall, which has hosted feasts for some of the most significant and influential people in

21:04the kingdom over the past 500 years.

21:08I believe your family will be dining in here this evening.

21:14Is that a gibbet?

21:18Unstocks.

21:19Was there no room in the Dark Forboding Dungeon?

21:22There's ample room, Your Grace, but the Duke says displayin' weapons makes them more effective.

21:34All of the family bedchambers are on this floor.

21:39This is your bedchamber, Your Grace.

21:43Is there anything else you wish for me to do, Your Grace?

21:46Not at the moment.

21:47The bell pull is beside the fireplace, should you require anything.

21:57The bell pull is beside the fireplace, should you require anything.

22:42This is never going to work.

23:01I just saw your man of business leaving the castle.

23:06What did you do to him?

23:08I fired him.

23:10Again.

23:12How many times have you fired the poor man?

23:14Six.

23:16Seven.

23:16Well, every time he sulks away like a lily-livered coward.

23:24You didn't pull your pistol on him this time, did you?

23:26I have never pulled a pistol on Josiah Jones.

23:30I may have held an epee to his throat once or twice, but he's never in any real danger.

23:36Well, perhaps his fear has something to do with your less than pristine reputation, Adam.

23:40Rumor has it you've run through a few men in your time.

23:43Rumor has it I've done quite a few things.

23:47And you wonder why Jones thinks the worst whenever you're angry with him.

23:50I always reinstate his employment and he never makes the same mistake twice.

24:02So, what was his transgression this time?

24:05Hmm?

24:05No, no.

24:06Don't tell me.

24:08Smiled too much while discussing the estate investments.

24:12No.

24:14Did not include enough threats in the business correspondence he sent on your behalf.

24:18He recommended a means of preventing my distant cousin from one day inheriting Fauston.

24:24Ah.

24:26Jones was the one who suggested you marry.

24:29He knew of a penniless family in Shropshire with an eldest daughter of the appropriate age who had no other

24:36prospects.

24:37His enthusiastic recommendation has proven intolerably stupid.

24:42The stupidest sitting in one's book room with one's friend on one's wedding night.

24:48Because that, Adam, is a level of idiocy far and above ordinary stupidity.

24:54I stood through the wedding and just spent an interminable dinner with my flock of new sisters-in-law.

25:03Did they stare at you?

25:06It would have been understandable, you know, having not been warned.

25:08I ought to have written then.

25:10Hmm?

25:11Perhaps I could have included a postscript with the proposal.

25:14By the way, I have a mutilated face you'll be forced to look at day in and day out for

25:20the rest of your life.

25:22Hope that's not a problem.

25:26Hmm.

25:27Perhaps not those precise words.

25:30She wasn't exactly forthcoming either.

25:32I will have you know.

25:34I forgot to mention something important.

25:36Another husband, perhaps.

25:39Extraneous limb.

25:41Her name is Persephone.

25:45A man ought to know a thing like that about his future wife.

25:49Persephone Iphigenia.

25:52What an inexcusably ridiculous thing to call a child.

26:05I had the chance to speak briefly with your new bride, Adam.

26:10She was...

26:12delightful.

26:15Perhaps a little quiet, but that is to be expected considering the upheaval in her life.

26:21I'll confess, I had expected someone rather long in the tooth.

26:28Rather long in the face, in all honesty.

26:32So had I.

26:34But she's a fetching thing.

26:36Young and...

26:38quite pretty.

26:43Oh.

26:48You expected someone desperate.

26:52And...

26:53ugly.

26:54And undesirable.

26:57Instead, your bride turned out to be a vast deal more than possible.

27:03Not quite what you'd bargain for, I guess.

27:07A lady who was too intolerable to have any other options would be...

27:10content with...

27:11a curmudgeon in a draughty castle in the wilds of Northumberland.

27:16And now...

27:17because she is young...

27:18and fine-looking...

27:20seems to be good-natured and potentially...

27:23enjoyable company...

27:25the poor girl is upstairs...

27:28alone...

27:29probably wondering what she's done wrong...

27:31while you...

27:33are down here brooding.

27:36Adam.

27:38You are completely bacon-brained.

27:41I should call you out for that.

27:43I do.

27:45But not tonight.

27:46I'm tired.

27:52Call me out tomorrow, would you?

27:53I ought to lock you in the dungeon.

27:55You should.

27:57No point having a dungeon if no one's ever consigned to suffering it.

28:01Good night, Adam.

28:03Good night.

28:04The presumption is loud.

28:09And Adam?

28:10What?

28:12Give the poor girl a chance.

28:15It's not her fault you've ended up with every man's idea of a perfect wife.

28:19This is...

28:26You...

28:28That was his wife.

28:29You...

28:30You...

28:36You...

28:39I don't know.

29:12Are you going to be lonely without us, Persephone?

29:15I will miss you terribly.

29:19But you will have each other.

29:22So you are unlikely to be lonely.

29:24I do not know that anyone will remember to talk to me when you're not here.

29:30I'm certain everything will be fine.

29:33You don't need to worry about us.

29:37Write and tell me about all the things you're reading.

29:48I love you.

29:49Me too.

29:52Hey, please.

29:54I do not want to go.

29:56Let me speak with her.

30:03Oh, my dear girl, you're crying.

30:06He did not make you stay here.

30:08No one is making me stay here, dearest.

30:11Austin Castle is my home now.

30:13I will send you letters.

30:15Perhaps with a gimme under the seal.

30:18You could come here.

30:19We could explore the castle together.

30:21He won't let me.

30:23Of course you will.

30:25We will have grand adventures.

30:28Perhaps there is a tower room where we can imagine all sorts of wonderful stories, the way we always did

30:35at home.

30:36Do you promise?

30:37I promise.

30:39Who will take care of me when you're gone?

30:43Papa will engage a governess for both you and Daphne.

30:46A companion for Athena when you're all in town.

30:50Will you visit us there?

30:53Of course.

30:54Stephanie.

30:55Yes, my dear?

30:57We will take care of you.

30:59We'll be happy even though we're gone.

31:06I will.

31:10When have you known me to be unhappy?

31:13Then I will be happy too, but if I don't mean now, I will cry again and I do not

31:18want to cry anymore.

31:20Then let us promise each other not to cry.

31:24Yes.

31:26Good.

31:27I will see you soon.

31:28Be good for Papa.

31:30I will.

31:31I love you, dearest.

31:33I love you too, Persephone.

31:34You're the best mama I've ever had.

32:04You're the best mama I've ever had.

32:14I thought you weren't supposed to cry.

32:19Artemis is crying as well, I'm certain of it.

32:22Then why make the promise?

32:25To lessen her pain.

32:28If my sister knew I was crying, it would break her heart.

32:33But you know she is crying.

32:38I know her better than she knows me.

32:47Best mama she ever had.

32:49Best mama she ever had.

33:00I don't know.

33:20I don't know.

34:0024 hours into this ill-conceived marriage, and my wife is already in the back of a garden

34:07and sobbing.

34:19How long into your marriage did mother start crying?

34:29And when did that stop making you feel like a monster?

34:39I don't know.

34:40I don't know.

34:43I don't know.

34:54I don't know.

34:57Let's go.

35:32Good evening.

35:34Are you feeling well, child?

35:38I am excessively tired.

35:41Do not fret yourself over dinner, dear.

35:44I'll have a tray sent to your room.

35:46You rest.

36:25I'll have a tray sent to your room.

36:36You told me you'd call me out today.

36:39Never did.

36:40I've decided to shoot you first thing in the morning.

36:44Go to sleep so I can load my pistols in peace.

36:47Your mother said the new Duchess was indisposed this evening.

36:52Any idea what you meant by that?

36:54As Mother said, she was indisposed.

36:59She wouldn't be the first person to hide from you.

37:01She?

37:02You mean Persephone?

37:03Well, I certainly don't mean your mother.

37:05You could shoot a man dead in the drawing room and she'd just smile indulgently and say,

37:08My poor boy.

37:09Yes, and the woman will still be calling me that when I'm 80.

37:12When you're 80, she'll be dead.

37:14Oh, shut up, Harry.

37:17Is there any chance Persephone's locked in the dungeon?

37:22I am not a monster.

37:24And she chose to accept me.

37:26Ah, yes.

37:26But without the benefit of the rather ingenious postscript you composed last night.

37:31I don't think she realized...

37:32You think I've made her miserable already?

37:35She took this morning's farewells particularly hard.

37:39You ought to have insisted her family stay longer.

37:42So I am the villain, am I?

37:45I wouldn't be surprised if you never saw the poor woman again as long as you lived.

37:49In a place as enormous as this pile of rock.

37:53She could avoid you for years.

37:59Where are you going?

38:02My wife is indisposed.

38:05I am going to see for myself that she is well.

38:08Adam.

38:08I am not going to hurt the blasted woman.

38:14You know me better than that.

38:57Why do you see me more than that.

39:01I don't know.

39:36Oh, forgive me, Your Grace.

39:39I'm attempting to find the breakfast room.

39:42Please tell me you know how to reach it from here.

39:44I got lost a few times when I first started working here.

39:48Fauston Castle is quite a big place.

39:51Enormous.

39:52New arrivals really ought to be provided with a map.

39:56This way, Your Grace, and I'll not tell anyone you were lost.

40:01Mother, explain to Harry that you're not leaving Fauston Castle because I forced you to do so.

40:05He seems to think that I drive every person who ever comes here away with a scythe in one hand

40:10and a flaming torch in the other.

40:13A regular one-person blood-dusty mob.

40:15That's what you are.

40:18You really ought to think about employing pitchforks when you...

40:23Persephone, come, break your fast, dear.

40:28Kidneys, eggs, yes please.

40:30Harry, will you please?

40:31I will prepare a plate for her mother.

40:33You needn't inconvenience yourself.

40:37Please.

41:04Should I sit somewhere else?

41:06No.

41:07You can stay where you are.

41:10Will you be coming to town at Christmas time?

41:13I never go to town until absolutely necessary.

41:15You must convince my poor boy of the delights of London.

41:20I have never been to London.

41:23Well, then you absolutely must come as soon as possible.

41:27I shall positively love taking you round town and introducing you to just everyone.

41:34I'm certain you can pack quickly, Adam, and I could delay my departure by a day or so, and we

41:39could all...
