[driver] Hup!

[horses whinny]
5
00:00:42,250 --> 00:00:43,710
Whistledown for you.
6
00:00:43,710 --> 00:00:46,129
[Lady Whistledown] Dearest Gentle Reader,
7
00:00:46,129 --> 00:00:48,882
we have been apart for far too long.
8
00:00:50,383 --> 00:00:53,386
At last, London's fashionable set
9
00:00:53,386 --> 00:00:54,929
has made its return.
10
00:00:54,929 --> 00:00:58,725
And so too has this author.
11
00:00:59,726 --> 00:01:01,019
It's good to be home.
12
00:01:02,937 --> 00:01:04,272
It certainly is.
13
00:01:04,272 --> 00:01:06,399
[Lady Whistledown] As the season begins,
14
00:01:06,399 --> 00:01:09,277
the question on everyone's mind is,
15
00:01:09,277 --> 00:01:12,864
of course, which newly minted debutante
16
00:01:12,864 --> 00:01:14,908
will shine the brightest?
17
00:01:14,908 --> 00:01:18,912
The crop this year
appears to be rather dazzling.
18
00:01:18,912 --> 00:01:22,207
There is the exquisite Miss Malhotra,
19
00:01:22,207 --> 00:01:24,084
said to be quite a catch.
20
00:01:24,084 --> 00:01:26,252
Miss Stowell is thought to be
21
00:01:26,252 --> 00:01:28,713
a most accomplished young lady.
22
00:01:31,841 --> 00:01:34,344
The mild-mannered Miss Hartigan
23
00:01:34,344 --> 00:01:37,472
will certainly appeal to genteel suitors.
24
00:01:37,972 --> 00:01:43,561
Miss Kenworthy is a welcome entry,
brimming with confidence and charisma.
25
00:01:44,062 --> 00:01:48,024
And then there is Miss Barragan,
who certainly stands out in a crowd.
26
00:01:48,024 --> 00:01:49,901
[snorts] She wrote my name! [gasps]
27
00:01:49,901 --> 00:01:50,944
[chuckles quietly]
28
00:01:52,445 --> 00:01:54,656
It seems as though
your business is thriving.
29
00:01:54,656 --> 00:01:55,990
As is yours.
30
00:02:01,454 --> 00:02:04,082
[Lady Whistledown] And let us not forget,
31
00:02:04,082 --> 00:02:06,584
should we all need a little excitement,
32
00:02:06,584 --> 00:02:10,797
there is another Bridgerton
making her debut this year.
33
00:02:11,381 --> 00:02:12,465
I cannot hear anything.
34
00:02:12,465 --> 00:02:14,717
Probably because she knows
we are out here eavesdropping.
35
00:02:14,717 --> 00:02:17,303
- I am sure that she is well enough.
- Oh, as you were last year?
36
00:02:17,303 --> 00:02:18,721
This is not last year.
37
00:02:19,264 --> 00:02:21,099
- Francesca is--
- Very quiet.
38
00:02:21,099 --> 00:02:24,811
Perhaps she has been stunned into silence
by the beauty of that giant feather.
39
00:02:24,811 --> 00:02:26,062
I cannot wait to wear one.
40
00:02:26,062 --> 00:02:28,064
Perhaps she has swallowed
that giant feather.
41
00:02:29,274 --> 00:02:32,235
- We are not ready to go?
- Is there anything we can do to help?
42
00:02:32,235 --> 00:02:34,737
Would you mind asking
whoever is playing downstairs
43
00:02:34,737 --> 00:02:36,656
to quieten down so I might hear?
44
00:02:36,656 --> 00:02:39,325
I can try, but is that not, in fact...
45
00:02:39,325 --> 00:02:41,411
[classical tune playing on piano]
46
00:02:42,203 --> 00:02:44,622
Who else would be playing pianoforte
in this house?
47
00:02:44,622 --> 00:02:45,748
Certainly not me.
48
00:02:45,748 --> 00:02:46,875
[Violet] Francesca?
49
00:02:48,084 --> 00:02:50,253
Why, there you are. Dear.
50
00:02:52,672 --> 00:02:53,840
Francesca.
51
00:02:57,177 --> 00:02:59,679
- Francesca.
- There's no need to shout.
52
00:02:59,679 --> 00:03:02,640
All those piano lessons in Bath
have reaped their reward.
53
00:03:02,640 --> 00:03:04,225
- [chuckles]
- You've gotten good.
54
00:03:04,225 --> 00:03:07,520
How did you get down here?
I've been outside your door all morning.
55
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:10,190
I woke up early. Got dressed.
Took breakfast in the garden.
56
00:03:10,190 --> 00:03:12,192
Because it is just another day.
57
00:03:12,192 --> 00:03:13,109
Shall we go?
58
00:03:17,655 --> 00:03:19,490
Perhaps we do not need to worry so much.
59
00:03:22,285 --> 00:03:24,704
You do realize what tune
she was playing just now, don't you?
60
00:03:24,704 --> 00:03:25,872
Mozart's "Funeral March."
61
00:03:25,872 --> 00:03:26,998
Oh God.
62
00:03:28,374 --> 00:03:30,126
[Lady Whistledown] Debutantes aside,
63
00:03:30,126 --> 00:03:34,756
there is also the question
of which gentleman will reveal himself
64
00:03:34,756 --> 00:03:37,091
as the prize of the season.
65
00:03:38,009 --> 00:03:42,430
For our young ladies
will certainly need someone dashing
66
00:03:42,430 --> 00:03:44,515
at whom to set their caps.
67
00:03:46,184 --> 00:03:50,104
Whoever it is
that makes the finest match this year,
68
00:03:50,104 --> 00:03:54,025
let us hope that their pairing
brings some titillation.

[Benedict] Is that--

00:04:27,642 --> 00:04:28,935
- Our brother.
- Colin.

[Colin] Family.
78
00:04:40,113 --> 00:04:43,449
Apologies for my late arrival.
I got stuck in presentation traffic.
79
00:04:44,867 --> 00:04:46,286
Do you not wish to greet me?

[Lady Whistledown] For, of the status quo,
this author quickly grows weary.

[theme music playing]
88
00:06:09,285 --> 00:06:11,496
{\an8}- You must tell us about your adventures.
- [Anthony] Yes.
89
00:06:11,496 --> 00:06:14,749
{\an8}Upon your return last season, we heard all
about your toil across the Mediterranean
90

{\an8}by the time we broke our first fast.
91
00:06:16,292 --> 00:06:21,422
{\an8}Indeed. Under what foreign sun
did you apparently get so sturdy?

{\an8}- [Colin] I was nowhere and everywhere.
- [chuckling]
93

{\an8}- I shall not bore you with details.
- I must know, who are you?
94
00:06:27,387 --> 00:06:30,723
{\an8}- What have you done with our brother?
- This time away was exactly what I needed.
95
00:06:30,723 --> 00:06:33,893
{\an8}It has given me some sense of proportion.
96
00:06:33,893 --> 00:06:34,811
{\an8}Mmm.
97
00:06:34,811 --> 00:06:37,021
{\an8}I should like some... proportion.

Shall I fetch you
a refreshment, Your Majesty?
111
00:07:22,650 --> 00:07:25,278
Perhaps a casket.
The lack of interest here today
112
00:07:25,278 --> 00:07:28,990
shall usher me
to an early grave at any moment.

Since when are you one
who simply glides in?
116
00:07:42,420 --> 00:07:44,380
Since when do you wear so many ruffles?

00:07:45,506 --> 00:07:48,801
- It is the style of the season.
- [announcer] Miss Natalie Green.

[exhales deeply]
122
00:08:01,606 --> 00:08:04,734
It is your debut, Francesca.
Are you not excited?
123
00:08:05,359 --> 00:08:08,488
I suppose entering society
means I might meet someone.
124
00:08:09,322 --> 00:08:11,282
It would be pleasant to have my own house.
125
00:08:11,991 --> 00:08:15,536
You are only a week back from Bath,
and already you are eager to escape us.
126
00:08:15,536 --> 00:08:18,456
No. I simply could use some peace.
127
00:08:18,456 --> 00:08:23,252
I'm afraid if peace is what you are after,
then this may all be rather overwhelming.
128
00:08:23,252 --> 00:08:24,712
You know, even Daphne--
129
00:08:24,712 --> 00:08:26,714
Mama, do not trouble yourself.
130
00:08:26,714 --> 00:08:28,925
If I can be at ease
in the chaos of our home,
131
00:08:28,925 --> 00:08:30,927
surely, I shall find my way in the season.

[music peaks and fades out]
139
00:09:47,086 --> 00:09:51,632
Unquestionably, our wedding
was much more beautiful than yours.
140
00:09:51,632 --> 00:09:53,509
I thought our wedding was rather fine.
141
00:09:53,509 --> 00:09:56,554
Yes. They do say
it is easier to impress older brides.
142
00:09:56,554 --> 00:09:59,724
If it were to please my bride,
I would wed you a second time.
143
00:09:59,724 --> 00:10:03,352
A third.
As many as it takes to make you happy.
144
00:10:03,352 --> 00:10:06,772
And spend our dear departed Aunt Petunia's
money in the process, Mr. Dankworth?
145
00:10:06,772 --> 00:10:08,983
Thank goodness Aunt Petunia died.
146
00:10:08,983 --> 00:10:11,152
And just in time for our honeymoon.
147
00:10:11,152 --> 00:10:14,113
- I rather liked Aunt Petunia.
- [Prudence scoffs] Of course you did.
148
00:10:14,113 --> 00:10:16,657
She was a tiresome spinster
who always had her nose in a book.
149
00:10:16,657 --> 00:10:20,077
She was not tiresome.
She just did not care for either of you.
150
00:10:20,077 --> 00:10:24,874
Enough. Today we return to society
in good standing, our finances in order,
151
00:10:24,874 --> 00:10:27,585
and without any man telling us what to do.
152
00:10:27,585 --> 00:10:29,211
Let us enjoy this day.
153
00:10:29,211 --> 00:10:30,713

If I may speak my mind, ma'am.
156
00:10:40,848 --> 00:10:42,600
You always do, Varley.
157
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:46,437
[clears throat] The Aunt Petunia story,
no offense to the dead,
158
00:10:47,104 --> 00:10:50,024
but will anyone
really believe that a spinster
159
00:10:50,024 --> 00:10:54,528
who never owned so much as a donkey cart
would have a fortune to leave to you?
160
00:10:54,528 --> 00:10:57,865
[quietly] For heaven's sake.
No one in London knows how she lived.
161
00:10:57,865 --> 00:11:02,495
For all they know, she could've been
hiding jars of coin under her floorboards.
162
00:11:02,495 --> 00:11:05,206
The truth has a way
of rearing its ugly head.
163
00:11:05,206 --> 00:11:06,957
But pay no heed to me.
164
00:11:07,458 --> 00:11:08,959
There you are.
165
00:11:08,959 --> 00:11:11,170
I take it you are finally done
with daydreaming?
166
00:11:11,170 --> 00:11:13,422
I am. Shall we go?

[light chuckling]
169
00:11:25,810 --> 00:11:26,644
Oh!
170
00:11:30,231 --> 00:11:31,816
[Lady Livingston] Where is she?
171
00:11:31,816 --> 00:11:34,735
Not to pick a diamond
at the presentation is one thing,
172
00:11:34,735 --> 00:11:38,322
but not to appear
at an event arranged in her honor
173
00:11:38,322 --> 00:11:40,408
is another thing altogether.
174
00:11:40,408 --> 00:11:43,828
Did our girls this morning
leave that much to be desired?
175
00:11:44,620 --> 00:11:48,124
They do seem rather... preoccupied.
176
00:11:48,999 --> 00:11:51,794
Do you find yourself back in town
for any particular reason?
177
00:11:51,794 --> 00:11:54,839
In search of something? Or someone?
178
00:11:54,839 --> 00:11:57,508
If you're asking if I came back
to take a wife this season,
179
00:11:57,508 --> 00:11:59,218
I'm afraid the answer may disappoint.
180
00:11:59,218 --> 00:12:01,762
Although, if there is one thing
I learned on my travels,
181
00:12:01,762 --> 00:12:04,640
it is forever to expect the unexpected.
182
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:06,225
[chuckling lightly]
183
00:12:20,489 --> 00:12:23,200
[laughter and indistinct chattering]
184
00:12:37,047 --> 00:12:38,257
[Cressida] Oh, look.
185
00:12:38,758 --> 00:12:42,052
If it isn't Penelope Featherington.
Back in a dress the color of--
186
00:12:42,052 --> 00:12:43,763
- Cressida.
- [Cressida] Eloise!
187
00:12:43,763 --> 00:12:47,016
- There you are. I've been looking for you.
- [Eloise] And I for you.
188
00:12:47,016 --> 00:12:49,185
Shall we go and get some lemonade?
189
00:12:49,810 --> 00:12:52,480
Splendid idea. I am parched with thirst.
190
00:12:54,231 --> 00:12:56,692
Is it not congenial
to be back from the country?
191
00:12:56,692 --> 00:12:59,153
All that draft and emptiness.
192
00:12:59,904 --> 00:13:02,114
You do know others call that "fresh air"?
193
00:13:02,114 --> 00:13:03,240
[Cressida] Of course.
194
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:05,284
Befriending you there
was a happy surprise.
195
00:13:05,284 --> 00:13:08,204
But ultimately, it is London
where I am most at home.
196
00:13:08,204 --> 00:13:11,290
And the season will be all the better
now I have you by my side.
197
00:13:12,583 --> 00:13:13,751
[Eloise] Of course.
198
00:13:17,213 --> 00:13:19,965
I've been dreaming of my future husband
since I was a child.
199
00:13:20,758 --> 00:13:24,804
He should be handsome,
romantic, intelligent.
200
00:13:24,804 --> 00:13:27,139
Do not forget well-bred and tall.
201
00:13:27,723 --> 00:13:31,101
I have always pictured a man
who writes poetry. But above all else,
202
00:13:31,101 --> 00:13:34,063
it should be someone who gives me
butterflies just by looking at him.
203
00:13:34,063 --> 00:13:35,356
[chuckles softly]
204
00:13:36,482 --> 00:13:37,983
And you, Miss Francesca?
205
00:13:38,692 --> 00:13:39,652
[clears throat]
206
00:13:40,778 --> 00:13:45,032
Someone... kind, I suppose.
207
00:13:45,658 --> 00:13:48,953
Well, that is plain.
You do not want someone unkind.
208
00:13:49,829 --> 00:13:51,413
[chuckling] No. Of course not.
209
00:13:52,790 --> 00:13:54,416
[awkward chuckling]
210
00:13:58,921 --> 00:14:00,840
[Violet] One week returned from honeymoon,
211
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:03,592
and already my son
has left you to fend for yourself.
212
00:14:03,592 --> 00:14:04,844
[chuckles lightly]
213
00:14:04,844 --> 00:14:07,096
Our time away means
Anthony's stack of paperwork
214
00:14:07,096 --> 00:14:08,722
has grown nearly to the ceiling.
215
00:14:09,348 --> 00:14:11,392
With luck,
he'll be caught up by the first ball.
216
00:14:11,392 --> 00:14:15,312
Let us hope so. With two sisters
out in society this season,
217
00:14:15,312 --> 00:14:17,064
the work has only just begun.
218
00:14:17,565 --> 00:14:20,442
She seems rather composed, does she not?
Quite practical.
219
00:14:20,442 --> 00:14:23,988
She is, but practicality
is quite the opposite of love.
220
00:14:24,488 --> 00:14:26,615
I am eager to see how she will fare.
221
00:14:28,826 --> 00:14:29,660
And Eloise?
222
00:14:31,912 --> 00:14:33,914
I do not understand this new friendship.
223
00:14:34,540 --> 00:14:35,457
[chuckles quietly]
224
00:14:35,457 --> 00:14:38,252
But I spent enough time last season
trying to assist her
225
00:14:38,252 --> 00:14:40,880
until my assistance
nearly drove her outside society.
226
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:42,923
So I am not interfering.
227
00:14:42,923 --> 00:14:43,924
For now.
228
00:14:45,342 --> 00:14:48,012
- You always see your children so clearly.
- [chuckles]
229
00:14:49,388 --> 00:14:51,307
I hope to be half the viscountess you are.
230
00:14:51,307 --> 00:14:53,475
I am sure you will be even greater.
231
00:14:53,475 --> 00:14:57,938
And forgive me. I will move
into a dower house as soon as I find one.
232
00:14:57,938 --> 00:15:01,442
It is quite a task
having two girls in society at once.
233
00:15:02,151 --> 00:15:03,193
Do not worry.
234
00:15:03,819 --> 00:15:07,406
Back in India, mothers stay in the home
long beyond their children's wedding.
235
00:15:08,073 --> 00:15:09,700
I am grateful to have you close.
236
00:15:11,035 --> 00:15:12,286
Lady Bridgerton.
237
00:15:12,286 --> 00:15:13,287
[both] Yes.
238
00:15:13,287 --> 00:15:14,330
- Oh!
- Oh, dear.
239
00:15:14,330 --> 00:15:16,540
- [laughter]
- Are you enjoying the festivities today?
240
00:15:16,540 --> 00:15:17,666
Very much.
241
00:15:17,666 --> 00:15:20,419
Although the queen's absence is noted.
242
00:15:20,419 --> 00:15:21,337
Yes.
243
00:15:22,004 --> 00:15:25,507
I do think she finds herself
somewhat reticent
244
00:15:25,507 --> 00:15:27,843
after her instincts
went astray last season.
245
00:15:27,843 --> 00:15:30,888
But, of course,
it all worked out in the end.
246
00:15:30,888 --> 00:15:32,556
- [chuckling]
- I would not worry.
247
00:15:32,556 --> 00:15:35,017
Perhaps you should tell that
to the other mamas.
248
00:15:35,017 --> 00:15:37,353
- [whimsical music plays]
- Mmm...
249
00:15:39,188 --> 00:15:40,147
[chuckling]
250
00:15:40,147 --> 00:15:44,360
My travels? I cannot begin
to share my travel adventures with you.
251
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:46,362
If I did, you would swoon.
252
00:15:46,362 --> 00:15:47,279
[chuckling]
253
00:15:47,279 --> 00:15:49,782
- [Colin] And we cannot have that.
- [chuckling]
254
00:15:49,782 --> 00:15:52,034
How is it possible
your dance cards for the season
255
00:15:52,034 --> 00:15:54,036
are not yet full of suitors?
256
00:15:54,036 --> 00:15:55,162
[girls chuckling]
257
00:15:55,162 --> 00:15:57,498
You are flowers in bloom.
258
00:15:57,498 --> 00:15:58,749
Each one of you.
259
00:16:00,167 --> 00:16:03,754
My stories from abroad are not suitable
for such tender young ladies.
260
00:16:03,754 --> 00:16:04,672
[chuckling]
261
00:16:04,672 --> 00:16:08,425
Were I to tell you
even the tiniest adventure, well,
262
00:16:08,425 --> 00:16:10,135
I'd be forced to marry you.
263
00:16:10,135 --> 00:16:11,971
[girls chuckling]
264
00:16:16,141 --> 00:16:18,060
Such an array of beautiful ladies.
265
00:16:18,060 --> 00:16:18,978
[chuckling]
266
00:16:18,978 --> 00:16:20,771
Men will be fighting over you.
267
00:16:20,771 --> 00:16:21,772
[chuckling]
268
00:16:21,772 --> 00:16:23,357
I cannot compete.
269
00:16:23,357 --> 00:16:24,692
[girl] Oh...
270
00:16:25,317 --> 00:16:26,860
[chuckling]
271
00:16:26,860 --> 00:16:27,903
[sighs]
272
00:16:27,903 --> 00:16:28,988
[chuckles]
273
00:16:28,988 --> 00:16:30,990
[whimsical music peaks and fades out]
274
00:16:32,366 --> 00:16:34,910
We woke up to find
he had fled in the night.
275
00:16:34,910 --> 00:16:38,414
He did not even stop
to take his gun cabinet. Or me.
276
00:16:38,414 --> 00:16:41,458
[Lady Cowper] Well, let us hope
that whoever lays claim to be
277
00:16:41,458 --> 00:16:43,836
the next Lord Featherington
has more scruples.
278
00:16:43,836 --> 00:16:47,214
Or does common thievery run in the family?
279
00:16:48,632 --> 00:16:50,843
In fact,
there shall be no more laying claim,
280
00:16:50,843 --> 00:16:52,845
as the last Lord Featherington
281
00:16:52,845 --> 00:16:56,181
wrote a document
bequeathing the estate to my girls.
282
00:16:56,724 --> 00:16:58,934
Just as soon as
one of them produces an heir.
283
00:16:59,643 --> 00:17:00,602
Did he?
284
00:17:02,646 --> 00:17:06,233
Shall we get some refreshments?
Perhaps something strong?
285
00:17:14,283 --> 00:17:16,744
Pen. It is good to see you.
286
00:17:17,411 --> 00:17:18,245
Is it?
287
00:17:18,245 --> 00:17:21,415
Truly. It has felt like I've been absent
years instead of months.
288
00:17:21,415 --> 00:17:23,500
Much has certainly changed in that time.
289
00:17:24,126 --> 00:17:27,254
A good deal, I know,
but it was all the rage in Paris.
290
00:17:28,714 --> 00:17:31,300
You look distinguished.
But, then again, you always have.
291
00:17:31,300 --> 00:17:33,719
When all is said and done,
it is merely clothing.
292
00:17:34,678 --> 00:17:38,015
Whereas elsewhere,
things seem to have fundamentally changed.
293
00:17:38,015 --> 00:17:41,602
Am I mistaken, or was Eloise walking
arm-in-arm with Cressida Cowper?
294
00:17:42,394 --> 00:17:45,272
As you said,
sometimes time moves rather quickly.
295
00:17:50,652 --> 00:17:52,279
[Philippa] Why didn't you tell us sooner
296
00:17:52,279 --> 00:17:54,323
one of us would be
the new Lady Featherington?
297
00:17:54,323 --> 00:17:57,534
What purpose would there be
in telling either of you to make a son?
298
00:17:57,534 --> 00:18:01,330
You're both married women.
Must we tell a baker to bake?
299
00:18:01,330 --> 00:18:04,333
Technically, one of our sons
would be the new Lord Featherington.
300
00:18:04,333 --> 00:18:06,210
One of us would be the heir's mama.
301
00:18:06,210 --> 00:18:09,379
"One of us"? You think you are part
of this race? With what husband?
302
00:18:09,379 --> 00:18:11,673
Technically, when I'm the heir's mama,
303
00:18:11,673 --> 00:18:14,802
the first necessity will be
ridding the house of dusty books.
304
00:18:14,802 --> 00:18:17,971
After, of course,
I've changed Mama's ghastly curtains.
305
00:18:18,555 --> 00:18:21,683
Do not worry. I will let you
keep your books... in the cloakroom.
306
00:18:21,683 --> 00:18:25,687
Oh! Which, I imagine, will be empty,
as who will want to visit either of you?
307
00:18:25,687 --> 00:18:30,109
Neither of you will be inheriting anything
if you do not go home and get to work.
308
00:18:30,109 --> 00:18:34,363
Can we not come over for pudding first?
Your cook is so much better than ours.
309
00:18:34,363 --> 00:18:37,533
Well, that's your fault
for marrying men without title. Go!
310
00:18:38,492 --> 00:18:40,494
[light classical music playing]
311
00:18:47,167 --> 00:18:49,419
Let us hope they take their time.
312
00:18:52,381 --> 00:18:53,382
[sighs]
313
00:18:54,758 --> 00:18:58,428
I take comfort in knowing that you
will always be here to take care of me.
314
00:19:01,098 --> 00:19:02,266
[exhales deeply]
315
00:19:05,185 --> 00:19:07,187
[pensive classical music playing]
316
00:19:23,662 --> 00:19:25,664
[pensive music intensifies]
317
00:19:33,589 --> 00:19:35,007
[music peaks and fades out]
318
00:19:35,632 --> 00:19:38,218
I do not wish to see
a citrus color ever again.
319
00:19:38,844 --> 00:19:40,637
Sour colors, indeed.
320
00:19:40,637 --> 00:19:44,391
But what has brought about
this sudden desire for change?
321
00:19:44,933 --> 00:19:46,810
I cannot live at home any longer.
322
00:19:46,810 --> 00:19:50,314
It's been hard enough living
under my mother's rules. But my sisters...
323
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:53,442
To live at the whim
of either the most cruel
324
00:19:53,442 --> 00:19:55,485
or the most simple person I know...
325
00:19:57,905 --> 00:20:00,032
I must take a husband before that happens.
326
00:20:00,574 --> 00:20:01,450
It is time.
327
00:20:02,284 --> 00:20:03,202
I see.
328
00:20:03,994 --> 00:20:07,998
And does my lady
have a certain suitor in mind?
329
00:20:12,044 --> 00:20:13,503
I should like to be sensible.
330
00:20:14,171 --> 00:20:15,172
Someone kind,
331
00:20:15,756 --> 00:20:18,675
who allows me my privacy,
for obvious reasons.
332
00:20:19,885 --> 00:20:22,387
Then a new look is just the thing.
333
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:27,809
Perhaps something
like what they are wearing in Paris?
334
00:20:31,271 --> 00:20:33,273
[light tune playing on piano]
335
00:20:34,149 --> 00:20:37,069
- I love it, brother. Where is it from?
- A trader in Marseille.
336
00:20:37,069 --> 00:20:38,528
My perfume is from Paris?
337
00:20:38,528 --> 00:20:41,365
Where are my handsome playing cards from?
Is this writing Spanish?
338
00:20:41,365 --> 00:20:45,118
- You visited France and Spain?
- My sheet music is Italian.
339
00:20:45,118 --> 00:20:47,496
Exactly how many cities
did you visit in four months?
340
00:20:47,496 --> 00:20:49,373
I lost count, in truth.
341
00:20:49,373 --> 00:20:52,876
No. Not in here.
Outside, where our mother can't see.
342
00:20:52,876 --> 00:20:54,044
[Colin chuckles]
343
00:21:00,050 --> 00:21:01,551
Francesca, where is your sister?
344
00:21:03,512 --> 00:21:06,223
Eloise! Time for the modiste.
345
00:21:07,349 --> 00:21:09,017
Will this family ever be on time?
346
00:21:09,017 --> 00:21:10,894
A gift for you, Mother.
347
00:21:12,562 --> 00:21:13,397
Thank you.
348
00:21:18,527 --> 00:21:19,987
It is lovely.
349
00:21:20,654 --> 00:21:21,780
Truly.
350
00:21:21,780 --> 00:21:23,490
[both chuckle]
351
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:27,536
Oh, my. We really are late. [chuckles]
352
00:21:27,536 --> 00:21:28,495
Francesca.
353
00:21:28,495 --> 00:21:29,663
Eloise!
354
00:21:29,663 --> 00:21:31,748
[whimsical music playing]
355
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:39,798
Eloise. Surely you are not eager
to hasten to the modiste?
356
00:21:39,798 --> 00:21:41,591
- [chuckles]
- I've something for you.
357
00:21:41,591 --> 00:21:43,844
- Ah! Here it is.
- It is a book.
358
00:21:43,844 --> 00:21:46,763
- A rare Bavarian text on the rights--
- I am reading something.
359
00:21:46,763 --> 00:21:48,974
- It is called Emma.
- A novel?
360
00:21:48,974 --> 00:21:51,226
You have never been one
for silly romances.
361
00:21:51,226 --> 00:21:52,227
[music fades out]
362
00:21:52,227 --> 00:21:54,021
Perhaps my tastes have changed.
363
00:21:54,730 --> 00:21:57,858
The writings I read before
of women making their way outside society,
364
00:21:57,858 --> 00:21:59,151
those were the romances.
365
00:21:59,151 --> 00:22:02,779
This book has humor and truth...
the pains of friendship.
366
00:22:02,779 --> 00:22:04,573
It is altogether more probable.
367
00:22:04,573 --> 00:22:07,826
And I take it your taste in friendship
has changed as well?
368
00:22:08,952 --> 00:22:10,829
Cressida surprised me this summer.
369
00:22:10,829 --> 00:22:13,248
She showed me kindness
in the country when no one else would.
370
00:22:13,248 --> 00:22:14,583
And what of Penelope?
371
00:22:16,209 --> 00:22:17,836
We have simply grown apart.
372
00:22:18,420 --> 00:22:20,922
Lady Whistledown
nearly ruined me last season.
373
00:22:21,506 --> 00:22:25,344
I lost the battle, and I have no appetite
for the war. I've joined the winning side.
374
00:22:25,344 --> 00:22:26,928
Not unlike you, I take it?
375
00:22:28,263 --> 00:22:30,140
Or is this truly the new you?
376
00:22:30,140 --> 00:22:31,099
Hmm.
377
00:22:31,099 --> 00:22:32,893
A man cannot tell his secrets.
378
00:22:32,893 --> 00:22:34,144
Mmm...
379
00:22:34,144 --> 00:22:35,270
Must be lonely.
380
00:22:40,233 --> 00:22:42,235
[bright classical music playing]
381
00:22:55,290 --> 00:22:56,792
[music fades out]
382
00:23:01,671 --> 00:23:03,882
Could you please meet me
in the carriage, Rae?
383
00:23:11,348 --> 00:23:12,349
[shop bell rings]
384
00:23:14,434 --> 00:23:15,644
I've been hoping we would meet.
385
00:23:16,603 --> 00:23:20,190
Did not seem so when you were hiding away
in the countryside this summer.
386
00:23:20,857 --> 00:23:23,402
I avoided society because
I did not know if you'd want to see me.
387
00:23:24,403 --> 00:23:26,988
And because you were worried
I might reveal your secret.
388
00:23:27,614 --> 00:23:29,032
I do appreciate you keeping it.
389
00:23:30,826 --> 00:23:33,370
Eloise, I am so sorry about everything.
390
00:23:33,370 --> 00:23:37,207
For what you did, or because I discovered
it was you who wrote such damning things?
391
00:23:37,999 --> 00:23:40,127
You may not understand,
but I was trying to protect--
392
00:23:40,127 --> 00:23:42,254
No, I do not need your explanations.
393
00:23:42,254 --> 00:23:46,466
I have kept your secret exactly because
I do not wish to keep revisiting the past.
394
00:23:47,843 --> 00:23:50,095
Now you have your life, and I have mine.
395
00:23:50,095 --> 00:23:51,304
With Cressida?
396
00:23:51,304 --> 00:23:53,974
- [scoffs]
- Are you really friends with her?
397
00:23:54,558 --> 00:23:56,309
I wish you very well, Penelope.
398
00:24:01,106 --> 00:24:02,274
Your Madeira, sir.
399
00:24:02,274 --> 00:24:05,694
I am not one to complain
about a mid-afternoon tipple,
400
00:24:05,694 --> 00:24:07,154
but what's the occasion?
401
00:24:07,154 --> 00:24:10,323
To thank you for taking care of the estate
while I was on honeymoon.
402
00:24:10,323 --> 00:24:12,659
I was surprised to see
every "t" crossed and "i" dotted.
403
00:24:12,659 --> 00:24:15,620
Well, I do not know
whether to be moved or offended.
404
00:24:15,620 --> 00:24:16,830
Perhaps both?
405
00:24:16,830 --> 00:24:17,789
[sighs]
406
00:24:17,789 --> 00:24:20,083
In truth, I enjoyed having a purpose.
407
00:24:20,083 --> 00:24:24,004
Whereas now that you're back,
I'm not certain what I'm supposed to do.
408
00:24:24,004 --> 00:24:26,548
I'm certain Mother has a list
of ladies she could offer you.
409
00:24:26,548 --> 00:24:29,134
Brother, please take
some of his attention.
410
00:24:29,134 --> 00:24:33,597
And you, I invited here
to congratulate on your many new admirers.
411
00:24:33,597 --> 00:24:35,599
I'm not certain that should cheer me.
412
00:24:35,599 --> 00:24:38,018
Bridgertons, my apologies for the wait.
413
00:24:38,018 --> 00:24:40,729
- Business is good.
- [Benedict] We are glad to see it.
414
00:24:40,729 --> 00:24:43,064
- Will you join us for one?
- Pardon me. Um...
415
00:24:43,064 --> 00:24:45,108
Wife business comes first. [chuckles]
416
00:24:47,736 --> 00:24:49,821
Mr. Dundas is here to see us, Will.
417
00:24:50,363 --> 00:24:52,908
Mr. Dundas. Can I offer you a drink?
418
00:24:52,908 --> 00:24:55,535
[chuckles] No. No, thank you.
419
00:24:55,535 --> 00:24:58,121
Ah. I shall be quick.
And now that I have you both.
420
00:24:58,705 --> 00:25:02,584
Are you aware, Mrs. Mondrich,
of your great-aunt, Lady Kent?
421
00:25:03,668 --> 00:25:04,794
Kent, yes.
422
00:25:04,794 --> 00:25:08,423
We met once in my youth. A very cold lady.
423
00:25:08,423 --> 00:25:10,967
She is colder now, I am afraid.
424
00:25:12,302 --> 00:25:13,136
Oh, she's died?
425
00:25:16,431 --> 00:25:17,766
Has she left us something?
426
00:25:17,766 --> 00:25:19,434
She has not left you something.
427
00:25:19,434 --> 00:25:22,354
She has left your son Nicholas everything.
428
00:25:23,271 --> 00:25:26,399
And while you have several cousins
more closely related to her,
429
00:25:26,399 --> 00:25:28,360
none have male children.
430
00:25:28,902 --> 00:25:33,448
As such, Nicholas shall be
the next Baron of Kent.
431
00:25:33,448 --> 00:25:35,534
[hopeful classical music playing]
432
00:25:41,248 --> 00:25:43,750
Perhaps we might need drinks.
433
00:25:47,546 --> 00:25:49,548
[music fades out]
434
00:25:52,968 --> 00:25:54,386
[dog barking]
435
00:25:54,386 --> 00:25:56,471
[gentle classical music playing]
436
00:26:14,155 --> 00:26:15,407
[Kate pants]
437
00:26:18,702 --> 00:26:20,036
[both moan softly]
438
00:26:27,919 --> 00:26:30,839
[Kate panting slowly]
439
00:26:32,257 --> 00:26:33,758
[Anthony moans softly]
440
00:26:36,094 --> 00:26:38,054
[Violet] Do not run. She will hear you.
441
00:26:38,054 --> 00:26:39,347
[Gregory chattering]
442
00:26:39,347 --> 00:26:41,182
- [Anthony] Ignore them.
- I cannot.
443
00:26:41,182 --> 00:26:43,560
- [Francesca] Go away! She will hear you.
- Trust me.
444
00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:46,938
What's happening there cannot be as
important as what's happening down here.
445
00:26:48,898 --> 00:26:50,400
Making an heir.
446
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:52,027
[both laugh]
447
00:26:52,027 --> 00:26:53,361
You do know
448
00:26:53,361 --> 00:26:57,157
that what we are doing
is not how one makes an heir?
449
00:26:58,158 --> 00:26:59,409
We have to start somewhere.
450
00:26:59,409 --> 00:27:02,454
It is my first week
as viscountess in my new home.
451
00:27:02,454 --> 00:27:06,374
Tonight is Lady Danbury's ball.
I must make a good impression.
452
00:27:09,753 --> 00:27:10,629
[Kate laughs]
453
00:27:10,629 --> 00:27:13,381
[light classical music plays]
454
00:27:13,381 --> 00:27:16,301
[indistinct overlapping chatter]
455
00:27:24,934 --> 00:27:26,144
[clinks]
456
00:27:31,149 --> 00:27:33,151
[music fades out]
457
00:27:34,027 --> 00:27:36,404
I should like to try something
a little different tonight.
458
00:27:37,364 --> 00:27:39,824
[uplifting classical music plays]
459
00:28:08,228 --> 00:28:09,646
[music fades out]
460
00:28:09,646 --> 00:28:11,731
[indistinct overlapping chatter]
461
00:28:13,817 --> 00:28:15,819
[up-tempo classical tune playing]
462
00:28:42,804 --> 00:28:43,930
[Lady Danbury] Ah...
463
00:28:43,930 --> 00:28:47,100
Oh, Lady Danbury,
you have outdone yourself once again.
464
00:28:47,100 --> 00:28:51,187
As you know,
the first ball is no small thing.
465
00:28:51,187 --> 00:28:52,772
I do not take it lightly.
466
00:28:55,692 --> 00:28:57,026
[classical tune ends]
467
00:28:59,279 --> 00:29:01,865
[Cressida] I wonder what
Whistledown will write about next issue.
468
00:29:01,865 --> 00:29:04,159
The season is off to quite a dull start.
469
00:29:04,909 --> 00:29:07,454
I am sure she will find something.
Or make something up.
470
00:29:07,454 --> 00:29:10,582
Pardon me, miss.
We failed to collect your cloak.
471
00:29:11,541 --> 00:29:12,500
Yes, of course.
472
00:29:14,919 --> 00:29:16,921
[uplifting classical music playing]
473
00:29:19,382 --> 00:29:21,634
I do not think that will be necessary.
474
00:29:27,724 --> 00:29:29,309
[Prudence] Is everyone staring at us?
475
00:29:29,309 --> 00:29:32,437
Jealousy, my love, that you are now mine.
476
00:29:38,485 --> 00:29:40,570
It is not us they stare at.
477
00:29:43,865 --> 00:29:46,201
[Philippa] She spends my fortune
before I can claim it!
478
00:29:46,201 --> 00:29:47,827
That is her intention.
479
00:29:47,827 --> 00:29:50,038
If she wants to wear
such a melancholy color,
480
00:29:50,038 --> 00:29:51,372
that is her prerogative.
481
00:29:59,506 --> 00:30:02,383
I told the contessa that,
in my homeland, we do not--
482
00:30:09,808 --> 00:30:11,142
[song fades out]
483
00:30:12,519 --> 00:30:14,521
[up-tempo classical tune plays]
484
00:30:38,127 --> 00:30:40,922
Miss Featherington. A pleasure to see you.
485
00:30:40,922 --> 00:30:42,423
What a striking gown you have on.
486
00:30:43,675 --> 00:30:44,759
You as well, my lord.
487
00:30:46,010 --> 00:30:46,845
Uh... [chuckles]
488
00:30:46,845 --> 00:30:49,472
Not the gown part, obviously.
The first part.
489
00:30:49,472 --> 00:30:52,600
It is a pleasure to see you all
in your proper evening dress,
490
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:55,019
which is not at all gown-like.
491
00:31:01,025 --> 00:31:02,944
You genuinely enjoy embroidery?
492
00:31:02,944 --> 00:31:06,364
Of course I do. There is
simply so much one can do with it.
493
00:31:07,448 --> 00:31:08,449
For example?
494
00:31:08,449 --> 00:31:09,784
Since you have asked,
495
00:31:10,577 --> 00:31:12,871
the stem stitch, tried and true.
496
00:31:13,496 --> 00:31:16,291
The straight stitch,
running stitch, chain stitch.
497
00:31:16,291 --> 00:31:18,626
The French knot, if one was feeling bold.
498
00:31:18,626 --> 00:31:20,670
[Miss Hartigan] Oh, yes! [chuckles]
499
00:31:20,670 --> 00:31:23,673
I like to read very much.
Perhaps too much.
500
00:31:23,673 --> 00:31:26,342
My mama is always telling me
put my books down.
501
00:31:26,342 --> 00:31:29,470
Not that there is anything wrong
with reading, of course.
502
00:31:29,470 --> 00:31:32,515
I'm not sure of her reasoning.
Do you all like to read?
503
00:31:32,515 --> 00:31:35,018
[Miss Hartigan]
The feather stitch, the fly stitch.
504
00:31:35,602 --> 00:31:38,104
Ooh! The detached chain stitch. [chuckles]
505
00:31:39,022 --> 00:31:41,024
Do you not have a favorite, Miss Eloise?
506
00:31:41,649 --> 00:31:45,236
Wha-- The... uh, shift stitch. [chuckles]
507
00:31:46,446 --> 00:31:47,447
I'm not familiar.
508
00:31:47,447 --> 00:31:51,826
It's the one that shifts this conversation
perhaps to something besides embroidery.
509
00:31:53,703 --> 00:31:54,787
Oh!
510
00:31:54,787 --> 00:31:55,788
A jest.
511
00:31:56,623 --> 00:31:57,540
How clever.
512
00:31:58,041 --> 00:32:00,043
[light classical music playing]
513
00:32:06,466 --> 00:32:08,343
- Perhaps--
- I-- Oh... [chuckles]
514
00:32:08,343 --> 00:32:11,846
Uh, forgive me. Uh... Please.
You were saying, Lord Barnell?
515
00:32:11,846 --> 00:32:15,266
[Lord Barnell] I was going to say
perhaps we should take our leave,
516
00:32:15,266 --> 00:32:18,811
lest we remain too long and give
Lady Whistledown something to write about.
517
00:32:33,618 --> 00:32:35,828
And that one. Who is she?
518
00:32:36,329 --> 00:32:39,749
That, Your Majesty,
is Miss Penelope Featherington.
519
00:32:39,749 --> 00:32:41,709
This is her third season out.
520
00:32:41,709 --> 00:32:44,003
But there are several
impressive new contenders
521
00:32:44,003 --> 00:32:47,006
for Your Majesty's favor,
should you care to grace them with such.
522
00:32:47,006 --> 00:32:49,592
And why should I grace them with anything?
523
00:32:49,592 --> 00:32:52,387
Well, there is some anxiety
amongst the mamas
524
00:32:52,387 --> 00:32:55,139
that you have not yet selected a diamond.
525
00:32:55,139 --> 00:32:59,060
A diamond is precious
precisely because it is rare.
526
00:32:59,060 --> 00:33:00,520
I throw one diamond ball,
527
00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:04,107
and anxious mamas expect
a diamond every year. Hmm.
528
00:33:04,107 --> 00:33:07,902
I threw a zebra ball once.
Do they expect a new zebra each year?
529
00:33:07,902 --> 00:33:10,446
Mmm... Well, you are right.
530
00:33:10,446 --> 00:33:13,282
You have only named the diamond once.
531
00:33:13,282 --> 00:33:16,577
I believe it was Lady Whistledown
532
00:33:16,577 --> 00:33:18,871
who named the diamond the first year.
533
00:33:18,871 --> 00:33:21,624
How right she was about the duchess.
534
00:33:23,668 --> 00:33:24,669
[Charlotte] Mmm.
535
00:33:26,879 --> 00:33:30,133
Miss Francesca, tell us,
what are your hobbies?
536
00:33:30,883 --> 00:33:32,343
I play the pianoforte.
537
00:33:32,343 --> 00:33:34,178
That is magnificent.
538
00:33:35,304 --> 00:33:37,515
And your other interests?
539
00:33:37,515 --> 00:33:40,685
Pianoforte does take up
a great deal of my time. [chuckles]
540
00:33:41,394 --> 00:33:45,023
I think what Lord Fife means to say is,
who are you besides your hobbies?
541
00:33:45,023 --> 00:33:47,608
Yes. What do you desire?
542
00:33:48,192 --> 00:33:49,736
What do you despise?
543
00:33:49,736 --> 00:33:51,487
What makes you, uh, tick?
544
00:33:53,322 --> 00:33:54,157
I...
545
00:33:55,241 --> 00:33:57,744
I think my brother needs me.
546
00:33:57,744 --> 00:33:59,829
If you would excuse me one moment.
547
00:34:03,624 --> 00:34:06,294
Brother, I should like a moment alone.
548
00:34:08,337 --> 00:34:09,172
Of course.
549
00:34:21,934 --> 00:34:24,312
Oh, dear. Is Francesca quite well?
550
00:34:24,312 --> 00:34:27,231
She simply needed a moment, as do I.
551
00:34:27,231 --> 00:34:31,027
And I should like to use that moment
to dance with my beautiful wife.
552
00:34:31,027 --> 00:34:32,779
Please enjoy yourselves.
553
00:34:32,779 --> 00:34:35,656
- [whispers] Interference.

[sweeping classical music plays]
555
00:35:04,185 --> 00:35:05,019
Penelope.
556
00:35:15,404 --> 00:35:17,073
[Penelope] You ought to take to the floor.
557
00:35:17,073 --> 00:35:18,241
[Francesca] Ought I?
558
00:35:18,866 --> 00:35:21,702
Once one finds oneself on the wall,
it is difficult to come off it.
559
00:35:22,453 --> 00:35:23,663
No matter what one does.
560
00:35:24,455 --> 00:35:27,166
At least the wall is not asking
what makes me tick.
561
00:35:28,126 --> 00:35:30,878
[Penelope] Did you not enjoy
conversing with those gentlemen?
562
00:35:30,878 --> 00:35:32,380
[Francesca] I expected conversation.
563
00:35:32,380 --> 00:35:34,298
I did not expect to be inspected
564
00:35:34,298 --> 00:35:38,386
as if I were some rare insect
writhing under a microscope.
565
00:35:39,428 --> 00:35:41,389
You do not much like
attracting notice, do you?
566
00:35:42,223 --> 00:35:44,100
Not really. No.
567
00:35:44,684 --> 00:35:46,310
Perhaps that does make you rare.
568
00:35:46,310 --> 00:35:49,480
It seems as though every Bridgerton
was born to attract notice
569
00:35:49,981 --> 00:35:51,107
in one way or another.
570
00:35:53,901 --> 00:35:56,863
I am... different from my siblings as well.
571
00:35:58,990 --> 00:36:00,950
It can be difficult, can it not?
572
00:36:07,123 --> 00:36:09,417
But they are wonderful, each of them.
573
00:36:11,836 --> 00:36:13,754
I know. You are lucky for that.
574
00:36:16,132 --> 00:36:18,342
And you are lucky to have so much notice.
575
00:36:19,218 --> 00:36:20,553
Even if it is trying.
576
00:36:21,804 --> 00:36:24,891
For some of us, notice is very slight.
577
00:36:26,767 --> 00:36:28,936
Miss Francesca. A dance?
578
00:36:28,936 --> 00:36:31,022
[music fades out]
579
00:36:32,398 --> 00:36:33,608
Of course, my lord.
580
00:36:36,903 --> 00:36:39,071
You really ought
to take to the floor again.
581
00:36:39,614 --> 00:36:42,283
It's difficult to come off the wall
once you are on it.
582
00:36:42,283 --> 00:36:43,451
[chuckles softly]
583
00:36:47,830 --> 00:36:49,582

[groans]
586
00:37:15,733 --> 00:37:18,110
Are you well, Miss Featherington?
587
00:37:18,110 --> 00:37:20,404
Yes. Forgive me. Cold headache.
588
00:37:20,404 --> 00:37:21,572
From the ice cream
589
00:37:21,572 --> 00:37:24,283
or the very congenial-looking miss
with the sneer?
590
00:37:24,909 --> 00:37:25,743
[scoffs]
591
00:37:25,743 --> 00:37:29,830
Do not worry. I've been the recipient
of an untold number of withering looks.
592
00:37:29,830 --> 00:37:31,123
Hers was mediocre at best.
593
00:37:33,876 --> 00:37:36,295
Um, Lord Debling, is it not?
594
00:37:37,421 --> 00:37:41,259
And why do I have the feeling that you,
in turn, know how to make one wither
595
00:37:41,259 --> 00:37:42,718
if you so choose?
596
00:37:44,387 --> 00:37:45,304
Me?
597
00:37:47,431 --> 00:37:48,975
Well, I-- I suppose--
598
00:37:50,393 --> 00:37:51,936
I do not. [chuckles]
599
00:37:53,646 --> 00:37:56,023
[chuckles, coughs] Uh...
600
00:37:56,857 --> 00:37:58,025
Excuse me. I--
601
00:37:59,068 --> 00:38:00,194
- [fabric tears]
- Ooh!
602
00:38:00,194 --> 00:38:02,363
How mortifying! I am so clumsy.
603
00:38:02,363 --> 00:38:03,864
My deepest apologies.
604
00:38:03,864 --> 00:38:06,575
Heavens. Well, accidents will happen.
605
00:38:06,575 --> 00:38:09,245
Miss Featherington,
I shall find a maid to help you.
606
00:38:09,829 --> 00:38:11,247
It'd be most appreciated.
607
00:38:11,831 --> 00:38:12,665
Miss Cowper.
608
00:38:14,292 --> 00:38:16,919
It is a pity you did not choose
something sturdier.
609
00:38:16,919 --> 00:38:19,380
Perhaps if you had not bought
such cheap fabric,
610
00:38:19,380 --> 00:38:21,549
it would not have ripped. [chuckles]
611
00:38:29,557 --> 00:38:31,309
Pen, I am-- I'm so sorry.
612
00:38:32,852 --> 00:38:35,438
There were perhaps some late nights.
613
00:38:36,772 --> 00:38:39,525
Pen? She did not look well, did she?
614
00:38:39,525 --> 00:38:41,944
The Featherington girl?
Why concern yourself with her?
615
00:38:41,944 --> 00:38:43,946
I want to know what happened
on these late nights.
616
00:38:43,946 --> 00:38:47,575
Whatever happened to you, I must say,
you are much more fun this season.
617
00:38:48,326 --> 00:38:49,493
Do excuse me, just a moment.
618
00:38:56,375 --> 00:38:59,420
[footman] Right away, miss.
The carriage for Miss Featherington!
619
00:39:00,004 --> 00:39:00,880
[man] Aye.
620
00:39:07,595 --> 00:39:08,846
- Pen.
- Colin.
621
00:39:09,764 --> 00:39:11,057
What are you doing out here?
622
00:39:11,057 --> 00:39:13,476
I am just... getting some fresh air.
623
00:39:14,310 --> 00:39:18,230
Why are you leaving so soon?
Especially in such a charming dress.
624
00:39:18,230 --> 00:39:20,608
- Do not mock me, please.
- Mock you?
625
00:39:20,608 --> 00:39:23,402
I assure you I am quite serious.
The color rather suits you.
626
00:39:25,696 --> 00:39:26,989
Good night, Mr. Bridgerton.
627
00:39:26,989 --> 00:39:29,492
- Do you not need a chaperone?
- Spinsters don't need chaperones.
628
00:39:29,492 --> 00:39:31,327
[chuckles] You are not a spinster.
629
00:39:31,327 --> 00:39:33,913
I am in my third year on
the marriage mart, with no prospects.
630
00:39:33,913 --> 00:39:35,247
What would you call that?
631
00:39:37,208 --> 00:39:40,628
Is something wrong, Pen?
Between us, I mean.
632
00:39:40,628 --> 00:39:43,255
I wrote to you this summer,
as I always do.
633
00:39:43,255 --> 00:39:46,300
And... well, you did not respond.
Admittedly, very few did. But...
634
00:39:46,300 --> 00:39:48,511
If you are going to make me
say it out loud,
635
00:39:49,303 --> 00:39:50,221
I miss you.
636
00:39:51,472 --> 00:39:52,306
You miss me?
637
00:39:53,891 --> 00:39:56,435
You miss me, but you'd never court me.
Is that correct?
638
00:39:57,770 --> 00:39:58,771
Pen, I--
639
00:39:58,771 --> 00:40:02,108
I overheard you...
at my mama's ball last season,
640
00:40:02,108 --> 00:40:05,403
telling everyone how you would
never court Penelope Featherington.
641
00:40:08,989 --> 00:40:10,741
Perhaps we should talk
somewhere more private?
642
00:40:10,741 --> 00:40:12,493
Because I embarrass you?
643
00:40:12,493 --> 00:40:14,328
Of course you would never court me.
644
00:40:14,912 --> 00:40:17,998
I am the laughingstock of the ton,
even when I change my entire wardrobe.
645
00:40:19,250 --> 00:40:22,086
It never occurred to me that you,
of all people, could be so cruel.
646
00:40:26,215 --> 00:40:28,926

[music fades out]
649
00:41:03,502 --> 00:41:07,339
There is, um, a gentleman
here to see you, ma'am.
650
00:41:09,842 --> 00:41:12,887
Lady Featherington,
I am pleased to make your acquaintance.
651
00:41:12,887 --> 00:41:14,513
Good day, Mr...
652
00:41:14,513 --> 00:41:16,849
Walter Dundas, Esquire.
653
00:41:16,849 --> 00:41:19,185
I work for the Crown,
responsible for ensuring
654
00:41:19,185 --> 00:41:22,605
the lines of succession run smoothly
within our great families.
655
00:41:23,189 --> 00:41:24,023
I see.
656
00:41:24,565 --> 00:41:27,568
And, uh, to what do we owe the visit?
657
00:41:27,568 --> 00:41:30,488
I have been made aware
that your cousin Jack Featherington
658
00:41:30,488 --> 00:41:32,656
recently left town
with your entire fortune.
659
00:41:32,656 --> 00:41:35,409
Yes, sir. My cousin, the swindler.
660
00:41:35,409 --> 00:41:37,328
That man was a terrible liar.
661
00:41:37,912 --> 00:41:38,746
Hmm.
662
00:41:38,746 --> 00:41:42,208
I have in my possession
a document he signed granting the estate
663
00:41:42,208 --> 00:41:45,628
to one of your daughters
once she produces a male heir.
664
00:41:46,587 --> 00:41:48,088
Ah, yes, that document.
665
00:41:48,923 --> 00:41:50,591
That document is valid.
666
00:41:50,591 --> 00:41:52,676
Even a broken clock is right twice a day.
667
00:41:52,676 --> 00:41:54,053
[chuckles]
668
00:41:54,053 --> 00:41:57,848
It is a rather unusual situation.
Are any of your daughters with child?
669
00:41:57,848 --> 00:42:00,643
Oh, I do hope
to receive the news any day now.
670
00:42:02,686 --> 00:42:03,562
I see.
671
00:42:03,562 --> 00:42:07,525
Currently, the Crown is unaware
of another living male heir.
672
00:42:07,525 --> 00:42:11,529
It would be quite a task
transferring the estate to another family.
673
00:42:13,781 --> 00:42:17,284
A great deal of upheaval
for the Featherington tenants and society,
674
00:42:17,284 --> 00:42:18,994
and, frankly, me.
675
00:42:18,994 --> 00:42:23,207
But should I find that this rather
convenient document is, in fact, forged
676
00:42:23,207 --> 00:42:25,876
before one of your girls has an heir,
677
00:42:25,876 --> 00:42:28,212
the upheaval may indeed be necessary.
678
00:42:30,548 --> 00:42:31,382
Well, then,
679
00:42:32,049 --> 00:42:35,052
it is a good thing
the document is not forged,
680
00:42:35,052 --> 00:42:37,555
and that my girls
do so love their husbands.
681
00:42:37,555 --> 00:42:38,556
[chuckles]
682
00:42:38,556 --> 00:42:40,307
A very good thing indeed.
683
00:42:40,307 --> 00:42:43,018
I shall pay
another visit to you very soon.
684
00:42:45,187 --> 00:42:46,230
Mmm.
685
00:42:46,230 --> 00:42:48,023
Such a beautiful home.
686
00:42:50,234 --> 00:42:51,068
Good day.
687
00:43:06,500 --> 00:43:09,253
Thankfully, I do not have
much competition this season.
688
00:43:09,753 --> 00:43:13,048
Aside from Francesca, who stirred
a good deal of interest, I suppose.
689
00:43:13,549 --> 00:43:17,428
But I do believe my handling of Penelope
was a clear message. Would you agree?
690
00:43:17,428 --> 00:43:20,598
I believe the message was received by all
with that particular trick.
691
00:43:20,598 --> 00:43:21,515
You disapprove?
692
00:43:22,808 --> 00:43:27,021
- I thought we did not like Penelope.
- What you did was cruel and unnecessary.
693
00:43:29,231 --> 00:43:33,777
You often talk of how difficult
it has been for you to find a husband.
694
00:43:35,237 --> 00:43:39,950
But do you not think it might be easier
if you displayed a bit less... frankness?
695
00:43:43,537 --> 00:43:45,539
It has been difficult to find a husband.
696
00:43:47,583 --> 00:43:50,044
It has been more difficult still
to find a friend.
697
00:43:51,837 --> 00:43:53,797
I've not had many since my debut.
698
00:43:54,757 --> 00:43:55,799
Not real ones.
699
00:43:57,092 --> 00:43:58,260
I did as a girl.
700
00:43:59,386 --> 00:44:02,139
But the season has a way
of coming between young ladies,
701
00:44:02,806 --> 00:44:04,600
pitting us against one another.
702
00:44:06,935 --> 00:44:10,189
I suppose I've fallen prey to it... once
703
00:44:10,689 --> 00:44:11,982
or twice.
704
00:44:11,982 --> 00:44:13,859
- Or thrice.
- [chuckles]
705
00:44:17,154 --> 00:44:18,238
But you are right.
706
00:44:19,657 --> 00:44:22,618
Society does not seek
to forge affections amongst us. I--
707
00:44:23,911 --> 00:44:25,871
I thought I was the only one who noticed.
708
00:44:27,289 --> 00:44:29,833
I did try to befriend you
in your first season out.
709
00:44:30,668 --> 00:44:32,211
But you rejected my suit.
710
00:44:32,920 --> 00:44:34,630
I actually do not blame you.
711
00:44:35,923 --> 00:44:37,466
I have not always been kind.
712
00:44:40,094 --> 00:44:42,554
But whatever Penelope did
to lose your friendship...
713
00:44:44,556 --> 00:44:45,557
you are right.
714
00:44:46,225 --> 00:44:48,143
She is undeserving of my attention.
715
00:44:48,894 --> 00:44:49,937
And of yours.
716
00:44:52,606 --> 00:44:56,443
Let us think only of ourselves.
We are far more interesting.
717
00:44:56,443 --> 00:44:57,528
[chuckles]
718
00:44:58,070 --> 00:44:59,571
I'm inclined to agree with you.
719
00:44:59,571 --> 00:45:01,699
[pleasant classical music plays]
720
00:45:18,882 --> 00:45:19,758
You are back.
721
00:45:19,758 --> 00:45:21,844
[music fades out]
722
00:45:22,803 --> 00:45:24,388
How were your meetings?
723
00:45:24,388 --> 00:45:26,265
Not nearly as good as our bed.
724
00:45:27,683 --> 00:45:29,184
Shall we return to it?
725
00:45:29,184 --> 00:45:30,102
Hmm...
726
00:45:32,396 --> 00:45:33,689
- [sighs]
- Mmm...
727
00:45:34,273 --> 00:45:36,775
There is a matter
I must discuss with you first.
728
00:45:40,362 --> 00:45:41,363
Your mother.
729
00:45:41,363 --> 00:45:42,322
I know.
730
00:45:43,949 --> 00:45:46,785
I know. She's doing
everything she can to delay her move.
731
00:45:46,785 --> 00:45:49,580
- I will speak with her today.
- What if you did not?
732
00:45:50,831 --> 00:45:53,500
Your mother enjoys
being viscountess so much,
733
00:45:54,293 --> 00:45:56,003
while I have already spent years
734
00:45:56,003 --> 00:45:58,797
taking care of Edwina
and running the Sharma household.
735
00:45:59,673 --> 00:46:02,468
And I've never seen you happier
than when you were away
736
00:46:02,468 --> 00:46:04,344
from the duty of running this place.
737
00:46:04,344 --> 00:46:06,096
[gentle music playing]
738
00:46:06,096 --> 00:46:08,515
So why not put ourselves first for once
739
00:46:09,641 --> 00:46:10,976
and extend the honeymoon?
740
00:46:12,603 --> 00:46:13,729
Are you quite sure?
741
00:46:14,938 --> 00:46:19,318
We have our lives
to be viscount and viscountess.
742
00:46:22,905 --> 00:46:26,742
For now, the only duty that interests me
is making an heir or two.
743
00:46:26,742 --> 00:46:27,910
[sighs] Ah...
744
00:46:28,410 --> 00:46:32,372
- Let your mother stay a little longer.
- I do not want to speak...
745
00:46:33,624 --> 00:46:35,709
of my mother a moment longer.
746
00:46:36,752 --> 00:46:37,628
[Kate grunts]
747
00:46:38,587 --> 00:46:40,297
[both moaning, panting]
748
00:46:41,507 --> 00:46:43,675
[music fades out]
749
00:46:48,013 --> 00:46:49,014
My dear.
750
00:46:51,058 --> 00:46:54,269
Tell me, how was last night? Mm?
751
00:46:54,853 --> 00:46:56,605
Did you enjoy your first ball?
752
00:46:57,523 --> 00:46:59,691
It was... satisfactory.
753
00:47:07,241 --> 00:47:08,158
My dear,
754
00:47:08,700 --> 00:47:11,995
think of the balls as playing a duet.
755
00:47:13,205 --> 00:47:16,416
When you play with another person,
there is a certain vulnerability
756
00:47:16,416 --> 00:47:19,461
which can be quite frightening,
757
00:47:19,461 --> 00:47:21,797
I would imagine. But it is worth it
758
00:47:22,506 --> 00:47:25,050
once you find that person with whom you
759
00:47:25,717 --> 00:47:27,636
make an unexpected harmony.
760
00:47:27,636 --> 00:47:29,721
I'm not frightened of the balls, Mama.
761
00:47:30,347 --> 00:47:31,682
Or of finding a match.
762
00:47:32,641 --> 00:47:34,017
What you and Father,
763
00:47:34,017 --> 00:47:36,436
and Daphne and Anthony
all have is enviable,
764
00:47:36,436 --> 00:47:38,897
but it is also rare.
765
00:47:38,897 --> 00:47:41,191
And I am not certain I need to feel
766
00:47:41,191 --> 00:47:45,529
butterflies or... unexpected harmony,
per your metaphor. [chuckles]
767
00:47:45,529 --> 00:47:49,283
But you will at least be open
if love comes your way.
768
00:47:50,409 --> 00:47:51,243
Yes?
769
00:47:52,286 --> 00:47:53,495
Let us see what happens.
770
00:47:53,495 --> 00:47:56,748
Ma'am? The viscountess is looking for you.
771
00:47:58,584 --> 00:47:59,835
[Violet chuckles lightly]
772
00:48:03,505 --> 00:48:05,507
[somber music playing]
773
00:48:06,592 --> 00:48:08,093
You have a visitor, miss.
774
00:48:12,639 --> 00:48:13,891
I'm sorry for intruding.
775
00:48:13,891 --> 00:48:15,934
[music fades out]
776
00:48:15,934 --> 00:48:16,852
It's all right.
777
00:48:21,732 --> 00:48:24,610
And I am very sorry
for my callous comment here last year.
778
00:48:25,319 --> 00:48:28,780
- It pains me to see you upset.
- Then perhaps you should not have come.
779
00:48:30,866 --> 00:48:32,951
I am not the man I was last season.
780
00:48:34,036 --> 00:48:36,038
And I'm most certainly not ashamed of you.
781
00:48:36,038 --> 00:48:37,581
The opposite is true, in fact.
782
00:48:37,581 --> 00:48:41,710
I seek you out at every social assembly
because I know you will lift my spirits
783
00:48:41,710 --> 00:48:44,504
and make me see the world
in ways I could not have imagined.
784
00:48:45,172 --> 00:48:48,300
You are clever and warm and...
785
00:48:50,135 --> 00:48:52,262
I am proud to call you
my very good friend.
786
00:48:52,846 --> 00:48:53,972
It has been vexing...
787
00:48:55,766 --> 00:48:58,602
watching you walk back
into society with such ease.
788
00:48:59,353 --> 00:49:03,398
When every year, I pray I might finally
feel that way amidst the marriage mart,
789
00:49:03,398 --> 00:49:05,317
and that comfort never materializes.
790
00:49:06,234 --> 00:49:08,654
Well, if a husband is what you seek,
791
00:49:08,654 --> 00:49:11,323
then... let me help you.
792
00:49:11,323 --> 00:49:12,783
Help me how?
793
00:49:12,783 --> 00:49:15,369
I was in 17 cities this summer,
794
00:49:15,369 --> 00:49:19,414
and what I have learned
is that charm can be taught.
795
00:49:19,414 --> 00:49:22,960
Colin, I cannot have you with me,
whispering into my ear in every ballroom.
796
00:49:22,960 --> 00:49:24,211
You will not need that.
797
00:49:24,711 --> 00:49:25,879
We will have lessons.
798
00:49:25,879 --> 00:49:28,173
And you will quickly master them,
I am certain.
799
00:49:31,093 --> 00:49:34,763
There is nothing more I want than
to earn back the favor of the one person
800
00:49:34,763 --> 00:49:39,142
who has always truly
made me feel... appreciated.
801
00:49:45,107 --> 00:49:46,066
What do you say?
802
00:49:46,066 --> 00:49:47,818
You want me to shake your hand?
803
00:49:47,818 --> 00:49:49,611
It is perhaps unusual,
804
00:49:49,611 --> 00:49:52,280
but... are we not friends?
805
00:49:52,280 --> 00:49:54,366
[pensive classical music plays]
806
00:50:04,960 --> 00:50:05,794
Friends.
807
00:50:08,296 --> 00:50:10,048
[Colin] I shall see you soon.
808
00:50:25,731 --> 00:50:26,773
[sighs]
809
00:50:28,191 --> 00:50:29,234
[chuckles softly]
810
00:50:32,112 --> 00:50:33,530
[woman] Is that Whistledown?
811
00:50:34,197 --> 00:50:36,158
[Lady Whistledown] Dearest Gentle Reader,
812
00:50:36,158 --> 00:50:38,660
when the tide of change turns,
813
00:50:38,660 --> 00:50:42,247
it can be sudden, fierce, and deadly.
814
00:50:42,247 --> 00:50:45,459
Especially for the unprepared.
815
00:50:48,670 --> 00:50:50,964
It seems to this author
816
00:50:50,964 --> 00:50:54,801
that our bon ton is moving
with the changing tide,
817
00:50:54,801 --> 00:50:56,303
to be sure.
818
00:50:57,137 --> 00:50:58,055
Lord Kent.
819
00:51:00,265 --> 00:51:01,850
Welcome to your new home.
820
00:51:09,399 --> 00:51:13,445
[Lady Whistledown] While others cling
firmly to that which they already know.
821
00:51:18,158 --> 00:51:21,244
None more so than our queen,
822
00:51:21,244 --> 00:51:24,081
who has still yet to choose a diamond.
823
00:51:24,081 --> 00:51:27,542
This author wonders if her hesitancy
824
00:51:27,542 --> 00:51:31,088
is a symptom of fortitude or fear.
825
00:51:31,671 --> 00:51:33,131
If it is the latter,
826
00:51:33,131 --> 00:51:36,468
pride in past achievements
will not benefit her,
827
00:51:37,052 --> 00:51:40,764
as our debutantes
are ready to play this season.
828
00:51:40,764 --> 00:51:42,974
Your serve, Your Majesty.
829
00:51:46,561 --> 00:51:49,940
It seems Lady Whistledown
is playing games again.
830
00:51:50,690 --> 00:51:51,650
Ah.
831
00:51:52,609 --> 00:51:54,528
Are you going to play along, Your Majesty?
832
00:51:55,403 --> 00:51:56,738
I do love a game.
833
00:51:58,365 --> 00:52:00,867
Especially when I am so often the victor.
834
00:52:06,623 --> 00:52:08,667
{\an8}[Penelope] Whistledown has come early.
835
00:52:08,667 --> 00:52:10,710
I am reading it. Are you mad?
836
00:52:10,710 --> 00:52:13,880
You of all people would be quite
interested in today's issue, Penelope.
837
00:52:13,880 --> 00:52:17,384
Lady Whistledown has a good deal to say
about your precious Bridgertons.
838
00:52:18,051 --> 00:52:19,678
Colin, in fact.
839
00:52:20,887 --> 00:52:23,515
Whatever she's said about him,
she is wrong.
840
00:52:23,515 --> 00:52:28,520
[Lady Whistledown] Dare I say,
this author is ready to play as well.
841
00:52:28,520 --> 00:52:31,064
I do not fear change.
842
00:52:31,064 --> 00:52:32,649
I embrace it.
843
00:52:33,400 --> 00:52:35,026
And then there are some
844
00:52:35,026 --> 00:52:38,572
who take the embrace of change
a step too far.
845
00:52:38,572 --> 00:52:40,031
Good afternoon, sister.
846
00:52:40,740 --> 00:52:41,867
Brother! Afternoon.
847
00:52:41,867 --> 00:52:43,326
Where were you?
848
00:52:43,326 --> 00:52:45,078
Nowhere. What are you reading?
849
00:52:45,078 --> 00:52:45,996
Nothing.
850
00:52:52,752 --> 00:52:53,628
Whistledown.
851
00:52:54,921 --> 00:52:56,214
You are mentioned.
852
00:53:00,343 --> 00:53:02,554
[Lady Whistledown] And then there are some
853
00:53:02,554 --> 00:53:05,640
who take the embrace of change
a step too far,
854
00:53:06,433 --> 00:53:08,393
as with Mr. Colin Bridgerton,
855
00:53:08,393 --> 00:53:12,355
who seems to have embraced
a new personality entirely.
856
00:53:13,190 --> 00:53:14,524
But one must wonder,
857
00:53:14,524 --> 00:53:17,694
is this new character the real him,
858
00:53:17,694 --> 00:53:20,197
or simply a ploy for attention?
859
00:53:20,697 --> 00:53:24,201
And does Mr. Bridgerton even know?
860
00:53:24,201 --> 00:53:25,827

How are you?
863
00:53:31,082 --> 00:53:33,501
I do not care what
Lady Whistledown writes about me.
864
00:53:33,501 --> 00:53:35,879
But ruining Miss Thompson...
I mean, Lady Crane,
865
00:53:36,755 --> 00:53:39,090
and then nearly ruining you last season...
866
00:53:40,258 --> 00:53:42,260
I will never forgive her.
867
00:53:42,260 --> 00:53:44,346
[tense music playing]
868
00:53:45,597 --> 00:53:46,431
Do you...
869
00:53:47,682 --> 00:53:49,309
have any idea who she might be?
870
00:53:49,309 --> 00:53:52,604
I do not.
But trust me, if I ever find out,
871
00:53:52,604 --> 00:53:55,273
I will make sure
it is her life that is ruined.
