[gentle music playing]
3
00:00:26,860 --> 00:00:28,778
[Lady Whistledown] Dearest Reader.
4
00:00:32,032 --> 00:00:35,493
While most seasons
of our fair marriage mart
5
00:00:35,493 --> 00:00:37,829
follow a predictable pattern,
6
00:00:38,872 --> 00:00:41,666
this author likes it most when there is...
7
00:00:43,626 --> 00:00:45,295
a surprise.
8
00:00:45,295 --> 00:00:47,380
[gentle music builds slowly]
9
00:01:11,863 --> 00:01:14,115
[Lady Whistledown] It is said
that surprise
10
00:01:14,115 --> 00:01:18,870
is one part secrecy and one part speed.
11
00:01:18,870 --> 00:01:22,123
[heartbeat thumping]
12
00:01:23,583 --> 00:01:24,959
And last night,
13
00:01:25,627 --> 00:01:30,340
an announcement came
with great speed, indeed.
14
00:01:31,299 --> 00:01:33,301
[muffled laughter and chatter]
15
00:01:36,304 --> 00:01:38,556
[Colin, muffled] We are engaged!
16
00:01:38,556 --> 00:01:39,891
[music peaks and fades]
17
00:01:41,017 --> 00:01:43,019
- Oh!
- [gasping, laughter]
18
00:01:43,019 --> 00:01:44,479
[uplifting music playing]
19
00:01:48,900 --> 00:01:51,653
Hyacinth, I do not think
Penelope can breathe.
20
00:01:52,153 --> 00:01:55,365
[Hyacinth] It is just...
we've known Penelope for all these years,
21
00:01:55,365 --> 00:01:56,950
and now she will be my sister!
22
00:01:57,492 --> 00:02:00,203
I am delighted for you both.
23
00:02:00,203 --> 00:02:02,622
- Thank you, Lady Bridgerton.
- [Violet chuckles]
24
00:02:04,499 --> 00:02:06,709
[Francesca] What is
your sour expression for?
25
00:02:06,709 --> 00:02:08,628
I cannot believe you shall be married
26
00:02:08,628 --> 00:02:11,131
before I am old enough
to go to one tavern with you.
27
00:02:11,131 --> 00:02:12,465
I'm sorry about that, brother.
28
00:02:12,465 --> 00:02:14,008
[all chuckling]
29
00:02:24,644 --> 00:02:25,854
Excuse me.
30
00:02:25,854 --> 00:02:27,856
[music fades out]
31
00:02:27,856 --> 00:02:29,941
Let me. Please.
32
00:02:34,112 --> 00:02:35,780
Eloise. Eloise, wait.
33
00:02:35,780 --> 00:02:37,157
My brother?
34
00:02:38,158 --> 00:02:39,534
Are you quite serious?
35
00:02:40,785 --> 00:02:42,453
For how long has this been going on?
36
00:02:42,453 --> 00:02:44,581
It is very new.
I am as surprised as you are.
37
00:02:44,581 --> 00:02:46,875
For how long
have you had feelings for him?
38
00:02:48,793 --> 00:02:50,795
Do not answer that. I do not want to know.
39
00:02:52,380 --> 00:02:54,090
You cannot marry him!
40
00:02:56,217 --> 00:02:59,262
- Eloise--
- Does he know... that you are Whistledown?
41
00:02:59,262 --> 00:03:02,849
No. He does not know.
Please. Eloise, please do not tell him.
42
00:03:03,474 --> 00:03:06,811
Colin is not like Lord Debling.
He will not be gone for years at a time.
43
00:03:06,811 --> 00:03:07,979
He will find out.
44
00:03:08,688 --> 00:03:11,065
And until he knows the real you,
45
00:03:11,065 --> 00:03:12,984
he cannot possibly love you.
46
00:03:16,154 --> 00:03:18,364
You are right. But... please.
47
00:03:19,324 --> 00:03:20,700
Just let him hear it from me.
48
00:03:20,700 --> 00:03:23,494
I just need a little time
to find the right moment.
49
00:03:23,494 --> 00:03:25,663
But I will tell him. You have my word.
50
00:03:28,750 --> 00:03:29,584
Very well.
51
00:03:32,003 --> 00:03:34,005
[brisk classical music playing]
52
00:03:35,757 --> 00:03:36,591
What happened?
53
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:40,428
She's upset, understandably.
54
00:03:44,098 --> 00:03:45,099
All will be well.
55
00:03:46,684 --> 00:03:47,685
I am sure of it.
56
00:03:51,940 --> 00:03:54,359
[Lady Whistledown]
Regardless of how it happened...
57
00:03:57,028 --> 00:04:00,406
it is surely a wonderful time
for the happy couple.
58
00:04:03,034 --> 00:04:05,036
[music peaks and fades]
59
00:04:07,956 --> 00:04:09,374
[wind gusting]
60
00:04:09,374 --> 00:04:11,084
[child 1] Get your Whistledown!
61
00:04:11,084 --> 00:04:13,336
- [child 2] Whistledown, cheap!
- Whistledown!
62
00:04:13,336 --> 00:04:14,504
[children chattering]
63
00:04:17,382 --> 00:04:19,759
- Come on, get your Whistledown!
- I will take one.
64
00:04:22,971 --> 00:04:23,805
{\an8}[man] Mmm.
65
00:04:23,805 --> 00:04:25,807
{\an8}[kissing, moaning]
66
00:04:25,807 --> 00:04:27,892

67
00:04:29,852 --> 00:04:30,895
[sighs]
68
00:04:43,116 --> 00:04:44,575
Is that Lady Whistledown?
69
00:04:45,702 --> 00:04:47,829
I'd think you would find her
rather common.
70
00:04:47,829 --> 00:04:51,374
[chuckles] It is anything but common
to be a lady who speaks her mind.
71
00:04:51,374 --> 00:04:52,292
Mmm.
72
00:04:53,001 --> 00:04:57,255
In fact... you might want
to read this one as well.
73
00:05:00,717 --> 00:05:01,551
What?
74
00:05:03,428 --> 00:05:07,807
"It is said that surprise
is one part secrecy and one part speed,
75
00:05:07,807 --> 00:05:11,602
and last night, an announcement
came with great speed, indeed."
76
00:05:11,602 --> 00:05:14,439
Must you continue
reading aloud, Mr. Dankworth?
77
00:05:14,439 --> 00:05:16,065
If we use our minds to read,
78
00:05:16,065 --> 00:05:18,484
there may not be
enough wits left for the baby.
79
00:05:18,484 --> 00:05:21,612
Mama must've read a great deal
when she was pregnant with you, then.
80
00:05:22,572 --> 00:05:26,075
She goes on to say,
"It may come as a surprise to all
81
00:05:26,075 --> 00:05:28,161
that Mr. Bridgerton's rumored assistance
82
00:05:28,161 --> 00:05:30,330
in helping Miss Featherington
find a husband
83
00:05:30,330 --> 00:05:34,459
has, instead, led to the two of them
finding each other."
84
00:05:34,459 --> 00:05:36,127
- [spluttering]
- [chuckling]
85
00:05:36,127 --> 00:05:37,170
Give that to me.
86
00:05:38,963 --> 00:05:41,007
[music fades out]
87
00:05:41,007 --> 00:05:42,175
Mmm.
88
00:05:43,259 --> 00:05:47,180
Colin Bridgerton betrothed
to Miss Penelope Featherington.
89
00:05:47,180 --> 00:05:48,181
[Lady Danbury] Ha!
90
00:05:48,181 --> 00:05:50,058
Is this one you had a hand in?
91
00:05:50,558 --> 00:05:51,726
I certainly did not.
92
00:05:51,726 --> 00:05:54,354
But I am rather pleased by it.
93
00:05:54,354 --> 00:05:56,230
What the city lacks in natural beauty,
94
00:05:56,230 --> 00:05:58,399
it certainly makes up for
in entertainment.
95
00:05:58,399 --> 00:06:01,694
Who needs fresh air
when there is fresh gossip?
96
00:06:04,655 --> 00:06:05,531
Oh, good grief.
97
00:06:05,531 --> 00:06:06,824
[rousing music plays]
98
00:06:06,824 --> 00:06:09,202
[Charlotte] I let my guard down
for one week,
99
00:06:09,202 --> 00:06:12,288
and then my sparkler
refuses the lemonade from my marquess.
100
00:06:12,288 --> 00:06:16,334
I can only imagine the analogies
Whistledown will see fit to make.
101
00:06:16,918 --> 00:06:19,504
She will compare me to a sour fruit
102
00:06:19,504 --> 00:06:23,049
or find some impudent quotation
to ridicule me in front of my peerage.
103
00:06:24,050 --> 00:06:25,927
- [huffs]
- [door opens]
104
00:06:26,469 --> 00:06:28,221
[Brimsley] It is here, Your Majesty.
105
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:31,557
- Read it to me.
- [Brimsley] Mm...
106
00:06:31,557 --> 00:06:32,725
[door shuts]
107
00:06:32,725 --> 00:06:36,312
Ah. "Miss Francesca Bridgerton
is also making the most of the season."
108
00:06:36,312 --> 00:06:38,815
"Her eye seems to be no longer
on the Marquess Samadani
109
00:06:38,815 --> 00:06:41,818
and instead
on John Stirling, Earl of Kilmartin."
110
00:06:41,818 --> 00:06:43,444
"Certainly a fine match."
111
00:06:45,696 --> 00:06:46,531
Is that all?
112
00:06:49,492 --> 00:06:50,868
Uh, yes, Your Majesty.
113
00:06:57,166 --> 00:06:58,501
[rousing music ends]

[light classical music plays]
115
00:07:11,180 --> 00:07:12,181
[Kate exhales] Hmm...
116
00:07:14,100 --> 00:07:16,102
I hope you are thinking pure thoughts,
117
00:07:16,102 --> 00:07:18,604
considering we are returning
to our family home.
118
00:07:18,604 --> 00:07:21,357
I am simply enjoying
the view of my ravishing wife
119
00:07:22,150 --> 00:07:24,110
and soon-to-be mother of my child.
120
00:07:24,110 --> 00:07:25,278
[Kate] Mmm.
121
00:07:28,448 --> 00:07:30,032
I am eager to tell the family.
122
00:07:30,992 --> 00:07:34,495
So much so that I can shout
for all of Mayfair to hear!
123
00:07:34,495 --> 00:07:35,580
[Kate chuckles]
124
00:07:37,915 --> 00:07:38,833
[Anthony sighs]
125
00:07:38,833 --> 00:07:40,918
[gentle music playing]
126
00:07:42,587 --> 00:07:44,297
[indistinct chattering]
127
00:07:44,297 --> 00:07:47,049
[horses whinnying lightly]
128
00:07:49,635 --> 00:07:51,387
- [chuckling]
- [Violet sighs] Oh.
129
00:07:51,387 --> 00:07:54,015
[laughing] Oh, my dears!
130
00:07:54,015 --> 00:07:55,266
Finally, you arrive!
131
00:07:55,266 --> 00:07:56,893
[laughter]
132
00:07:56,893 --> 00:08:00,104
I could get used to such long journeys
if every return was like this.
133
00:08:00,104 --> 00:08:01,105
Brother.
134
00:08:01,105 --> 00:08:03,149
[laughter and chattering]
135
00:08:05,651 --> 00:08:07,445
Brother. Good day.
136
00:08:07,445 --> 00:08:08,446
[Kate] You too.
137
00:08:09,030 --> 00:08:10,865
And from where have you returned?
138
00:08:10,865 --> 00:08:13,326
- Just out for a morning stroll.
- [Colin] Yes.
139
00:08:13,326 --> 00:08:16,162
I read a curious piece of news
in Whistledown this morning.
140
00:08:16,162 --> 00:08:17,371
- [Colin] Mm-hmm.
- Ah.
141
00:08:17,371 --> 00:08:18,664
Oh. What is it?
142
00:08:18,664 --> 00:08:20,208
Brother, you must tell them.
143
00:08:21,125 --> 00:08:22,835
- You delay, so I shall.
- [Violet laughs]
144
00:08:22,835 --> 00:08:25,254
Colin is engaged
to Penelope Featherington.
145
00:08:25,254 --> 00:08:27,632
Hyacinth may be
the most excited of us all.
146
00:08:27,632 --> 00:08:29,383
- Congratulations.
- Thank you.
147
00:08:30,384 --> 00:08:31,219
[Kate] Ah.
148
00:08:32,136 --> 00:08:34,472
- Oh, well, what wonderful news.
- Of course.
149
00:08:34,472 --> 00:08:36,307
Thank you. I am in high spirits.
150
00:08:37,350 --> 00:08:38,768
It seems... [clears throat]
151
00:08:38,768 --> 00:08:41,103
...we brothers have much
to catch up on, indeed.
152
00:08:41,103 --> 00:08:42,271
[chuckling]
153
00:08:42,772 --> 00:08:45,191
- [Violet chuckles]
- What else did I miss?
154
00:08:45,191 --> 00:08:49,153
- I am one of the brothers as well.
- I think of you as the family pet.
155
00:08:49,153 --> 00:08:50,488
- Why?
- [chuckles]
156
00:08:50,488 --> 00:08:53,074
- [Gregory] That is so unnecessary.
- [chattering]
157
00:08:53,074 --> 00:08:54,450
[Violet] Yes, we do.
158
00:08:54,450 --> 00:08:56,536
[music fades out]
159
00:08:58,287 --> 00:08:59,372
[Eloise] She used me.
160
00:09:00,081 --> 00:09:02,083
That is the only conclusion one can draw.
161
00:09:02,083 --> 00:09:04,293
Do you know she, in fact,
met my brother first?
162
00:09:04,293 --> 00:09:06,546
Which leaves me thinking
that our entire friendship
163
00:09:06,546 --> 00:09:08,673
must've been a ruse
to get to him all along.
164
00:09:08,673 --> 00:09:10,883
It's a good thing
your friendship is long over, then.
165
00:09:14,470 --> 00:09:16,764
Forgive me. It is rather shocking.
166
00:09:17,265 --> 00:09:19,475
But I have had a shock of my own.
167
00:09:20,768 --> 00:09:24,272
My parents told me they are in the process
of arranging a marriage proposal.
168
00:09:26,107 --> 00:09:27,400
From Lord Greer.
169
00:09:28,526 --> 00:09:29,443
Lord Greer?
170
00:09:29,986 --> 00:09:32,655
Is he not on death's doorstep?
171
00:09:32,655 --> 00:09:33,948
Sadly, no.
172
00:09:34,782 --> 00:09:35,908
Though ripe in years,
173
00:09:35,908 --> 00:09:38,452
he has assured my father
he is the picture of health.
174
00:09:39,954 --> 00:09:40,955
[sighs softly]
175
00:09:42,206 --> 00:09:44,709
I would not have gone on and on
if I had known your plight.
176
00:09:44,709 --> 00:09:46,210
No, it is all right.
177
00:09:47,211 --> 00:09:50,506
If I do have to marry a man
who could be my great-grandfather,
178
00:09:51,507 --> 00:09:53,509
we can at least use his money to shop
179
00:09:53,509 --> 00:09:56,762
and queen over society like Lady Danbury.
180
00:09:56,762 --> 00:09:59,682
Throw splendid balls
and flirt shamelessly with widowers.
181
00:09:59,682 --> 00:10:00,808
[both chuckle]
182
00:10:00,808 --> 00:10:02,893
[soft music playing]
183
00:10:03,477 --> 00:10:05,104
It sounds like quite a life.
184
00:10:06,188 --> 00:10:07,148
[chuckles softly]
185
00:10:14,363 --> 00:10:15,531
[music fades out]
186
00:10:15,531 --> 00:10:19,785
Devon was very well,
but... we have bigger fish to fry.
187
00:10:19,785 --> 00:10:21,037
- [Benedict] Hm.
- Hm.
188
00:10:21,037 --> 00:10:22,204
[Anthony] First...
189
00:10:22,204 --> 00:10:23,539
[sighs]
190
00:10:23,539 --> 00:10:24,457
...explain.
191
00:10:24,457 --> 00:10:26,876
- [Benedict chuckles]
- No furtive looks necessary.
192
00:10:28,502 --> 00:10:30,421
Come now, you must admit,
it's all rather sudden.
193
00:10:30,421 --> 00:10:32,256
What was sudden was my last betrothal.
194
00:10:32,256 --> 00:10:35,426
So I cannot blame either of you
if you are prone to think me foolish.
195
00:10:35,926 --> 00:10:38,846
My feelings for Penelope
are not a thunderbolt from the sky.
196
00:10:38,846 --> 00:10:42,099
I have known her a very long time,
and perhaps
197
00:10:42,099 --> 00:10:44,435
I have always felt something for her.
198
00:10:45,019 --> 00:10:47,647
My only foolishness this time
was not realizing it sooner.
199
00:10:47,647 --> 00:10:48,981
- [sighs]
- [Colin] Mm.
200
00:10:50,066 --> 00:10:51,567
Have you said these words to her?
201
00:10:52,860 --> 00:10:54,654
The final part, the betrothal, it...
202
00:10:55,988 --> 00:10:58,032
it did all happen rather swiftly.
203
00:10:58,032 --> 00:10:59,742
Ah, it's swift because you--
204
00:10:59,742 --> 00:11:02,703
Are you going to duel
with your own brother, or...
205
00:11:06,123 --> 00:11:09,460
Well, you are marrying her,
and for all the right reasons, it seems.
206
00:11:10,169 --> 00:11:11,420
That's all that matters.
207
00:11:12,004 --> 00:11:13,172
But tell her.
208
00:11:13,172 --> 00:11:14,965
[light music plays softly]
209
00:11:14,965 --> 00:11:18,094
Very well.
Perhaps I shall go and see Penelope now.
210
00:11:18,094 --> 00:11:21,430
First... to your wives.
211
00:11:24,350 --> 00:11:25,643
Congratulations.
212
00:11:25,643 --> 00:11:26,894
Thank you.
213
00:11:29,105 --> 00:11:30,981
[clears throat, sniffs]
214
00:11:31,899 --> 00:11:34,610
[sighs] Can you believe that?
I did not know that.
215
00:11:34,610 --> 00:11:36,362
[music fades out]
216
00:11:53,587 --> 00:11:54,463
Mama.
217
00:12:02,513 --> 00:12:04,932
This is how I hear
of my daughter's engagement?
218
00:12:06,851 --> 00:12:08,686
You hide out in your room all day,
219
00:12:09,603 --> 00:12:12,356
and you let me read about it
in Whistledown?
220
00:12:13,607 --> 00:12:15,985
I did not much feel like
announcing the happy news to you.
221
00:12:15,985 --> 00:12:16,902
"Happy"?
222
00:12:17,653 --> 00:12:18,988
Is that what you think this is?
223
00:12:18,988 --> 00:12:20,781
What else could it be? I am to be married.
224
00:12:20,781 --> 00:12:23,284
Lord Debling was a reasonable match.
225
00:12:24,076 --> 00:12:26,579
A reach, to be sure,
but with all his eccentricities,
226
00:12:26,579 --> 00:12:28,789
it was a secure match.
227
00:12:29,623 --> 00:12:31,542
And you've thrown that away
to play out, what?
228
00:12:32,168 --> 00:12:33,669
A fancy on the neighbor boy,
229
00:12:33,669 --> 00:12:37,131
who happens to be
the most desired man of the season?
230
00:12:37,131 --> 00:12:38,716
I do not think it's unreasonable.
231
00:12:39,467 --> 00:12:40,634
Colin cares for me.
232
00:12:41,302 --> 00:12:43,095
Has he told you that he loves you?
233
00:12:43,095 --> 00:12:45,181
[soft music builds slowly]
234
00:12:46,807 --> 00:12:49,268
Not in... those exact words.
235
00:12:50,019 --> 00:12:51,479
Oh, Penelope.
236
00:12:55,649 --> 00:12:59,361
Do you not remember how
the Bridgertons treated us like dogs
237
00:12:59,361 --> 00:13:01,322
when Marina's scheme was uncovered?
238
00:13:01,822 --> 00:13:04,200
Now you've been out
all hours of the night with no chaperone.
239
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:07,453
And then you traipse in this morning
with news of an engagement
240
00:13:07,453 --> 00:13:11,582
to the very same Bridgerton boy,
using Lord knows what wiles to entrap him.
241
00:13:11,582 --> 00:13:13,834
- Excuse me.
- Mr. Bridgerton is here, ma'am.
242
00:13:13,834 --> 00:13:16,670
Mr. Bridgerton.
What an unexpected delight.
243
00:13:16,670 --> 00:13:20,174
I will not be staying long.
But since we are all speaking so freely--
244
00:13:20,174 --> 00:13:22,927
- That was not meant for your ears.
- I am still speaking.
245
00:13:24,178 --> 00:13:25,805
Your daughter did not entrap me.
246
00:13:26,305 --> 00:13:28,849
I proposed to her out of love,
nothing less.
247
00:13:28,849 --> 00:13:29,809
[gasps softly]
248
00:13:29,809 --> 00:13:33,604
And were you not so narrowly concerned
over your own standing,
249
00:13:33,604 --> 00:13:37,233
you might see that Penelope
is the most eligible amongst you.
250
00:13:38,067 --> 00:13:42,238
In the future, I advise you
not to sully our Bridgerton name
251
00:13:42,238 --> 00:13:43,572
by suggesting otherwise.
252
00:13:44,573 --> 00:13:46,534
[soft music builds]
253
00:14:01,715 --> 00:14:03,717
[music fades out]
254
00:14:05,469 --> 00:14:07,763
I wanted to show you this
before our wedding.
255
00:14:10,808 --> 00:14:13,227
It's been in the family a very long time.
256
00:14:17,064 --> 00:14:18,315
This is to be our home.
257
00:14:22,736 --> 00:14:24,864
I know it does not look like much now, but
258
00:14:25,698 --> 00:14:29,285
once we lay out some
of our furnishings and decorations...
259
00:14:33,998 --> 00:14:36,333
Are you concerned
that we should not be here alone?
260
00:14:37,167 --> 00:14:41,380
There is not yet any staff, but I thought,
well, since we are to be married--
261
00:14:41,380 --> 00:14:42,548
No.
262
00:14:44,758 --> 00:14:46,802
You do not realize
how much that meant to me.
263
00:14:48,804 --> 00:14:50,472
What you said to my mother.
264
00:14:50,472 --> 00:14:52,641
No one has ever stood up for me like that.
265
00:14:52,641 --> 00:14:54,560
Oh, I will always stand up for you.
266
00:14:57,855 --> 00:15:01,025
Because I love you... Pen.
267
00:15:02,651 --> 00:15:03,903
[tearfully] Are you sure?
268
00:15:10,034 --> 00:15:13,037
Everything I said to your mother is true.
269
00:15:15,956 --> 00:15:17,791
And you should see it as well.
270
00:15:21,253 --> 00:15:22,421
[gentle music playing]
271
00:15:22,421 --> 00:15:26,842
You... are the cleverest,
bravest woman I have ever known.
272
00:15:29,511 --> 00:15:33,015
You make me feel seen
in ways I have never felt seen before.
273
00:15:36,393 --> 00:15:37,519
And then there is...
274
00:15:38,437 --> 00:15:41,231
the way your hair
cascades down your shoulder.
275
00:15:43,859 --> 00:15:47,279
The way your eyes shine
when you look at me,
276
00:15:47,279 --> 00:15:48,864
like two blue pools.
277
00:15:50,157 --> 00:15:53,118
The firmness of your lips parted just so.
278
00:15:54,203 --> 00:15:55,871
The softness of your skin.
279
00:15:59,208 --> 00:16:00,209
And then there are...
280
00:16:01,627 --> 00:16:03,003
other parts I've been...
281
00:16:04,296 --> 00:16:05,923
I've been dreaming about.
282
00:16:10,469 --> 00:16:12,638
[breathing heavily]
283
00:16:24,566 --> 00:16:27,236
You must tell me to stop
if you do not wish for this.
284
00:16:27,236 --> 00:16:29,113
I do not wish for you to stop.
285
00:16:29,113 --> 00:16:30,906
[panting, moaning softly]
286
00:17:01,353 --> 00:17:02,271
Lie down.
287
00:17:02,271 --> 00:17:03,897
[music peaks and fades out]
288
00:17:03,897 --> 00:17:05,607
[romantic music playing]
289
00:17:16,827 --> 00:17:17,870
[chuckles softly]
290
00:17:41,810 --> 00:17:43,103
[exhales]
291
00:17:43,103 --> 00:17:44,104
[clears throat]
292
00:18:00,537 --> 00:18:01,830
You are so beautiful.
293
00:18:11,256 --> 00:18:12,466
Tell me what to do.
294
00:18:14,218 --> 00:18:15,928
- I will do everything.
- No.
295
00:18:17,096 --> 00:18:17,971
Tell me.
296
00:18:22,101 --> 00:18:25,437
You could... touch me.
297
00:18:26,605 --> 00:18:27,439
Where?
298
00:18:28,565 --> 00:18:29,399
Anywhere.
299
00:18:44,706 --> 00:18:46,208
- Not there.
- [gasps softly]
300
00:18:47,918 --> 00:18:48,752
Not yet.
301
00:18:52,005 --> 00:18:52,965
May I?
302
00:19:08,564 --> 00:19:10,023
[panting]
303
00:19:10,899 --> 00:19:11,942
[moans softly]
304
00:19:12,651 --> 00:19:14,987
[breathing heavily]
305
00:19:26,248 --> 00:19:27,833
[whispering] Oh, yes.
306
00:19:27,833 --> 00:19:30,377
[panting]
307
00:19:37,509 --> 00:19:38,802
Why did you stop?
308
00:19:39,469 --> 00:19:40,345
Are you ready?
309
00:19:41,889 --> 00:19:42,806
Is there more?
310
00:19:46,393 --> 00:19:47,561
[chuckles softly]
311
00:19:48,145 --> 00:19:49,396
This may hurt.
312
00:19:49,980 --> 00:19:51,648
I cannot help it, I promise. But...
313
00:19:53,483 --> 00:19:55,194
it should only be this first time.
314
00:20:04,703 --> 00:20:06,330
- [inhales sharply]
- [Colin sighs]
315
00:20:10,626 --> 00:20:12,628
[grunts, panting]
316
00:20:12,628 --> 00:20:14,963
[chuckling softly]
317
00:20:16,006 --> 00:20:16,965
[moans softly]
318
00:20:21,386 --> 00:20:22,221
All right?
319
00:20:22,221 --> 00:20:23,555
It is all right, yes.
320
00:20:24,097 --> 00:20:26,058
[both panting softly]
321
00:20:26,058 --> 00:20:28,143
[breathing heavily]
322
00:20:33,482 --> 00:20:34,775
[both grunt lightly]
323
00:20:39,821 --> 00:20:41,823
[gentle music stirring]
324
00:20:51,208 --> 00:20:53,210
[both breathing rapidly]
325
00:20:54,753 --> 00:20:56,755
[Penelope moaning]
326
00:20:56,755 --> 00:20:58,840
[Colin sighing]
327
00:21:09,142 --> 00:21:11,144
[both chuckling]
328
00:21:14,564 --> 00:21:15,440
Was it all right?
329
00:21:17,442 --> 00:21:18,527
It was perfect.
330
00:21:22,364 --> 00:21:23,490
Can we do it again?
331
00:21:25,158 --> 00:21:26,410
Give me five minutes.
332
00:21:28,453 --> 00:21:29,288
Maybe ten.
333
00:21:29,288 --> 00:21:30,872
[both laughing]
334
00:21:37,838 --> 00:21:39,840
[music fades out]
335
00:21:55,939 --> 00:21:57,607
[whispers] Anthony, we cannot.
336
00:21:57,607 --> 00:21:58,692
Why not?
337
00:21:59,276 --> 00:22:02,029
[chuckling] Because Newton is watching.
338
00:22:07,242 --> 00:22:08,994
[chuckling]
339
00:22:13,123 --> 00:22:14,791
I want it noted I was right.
340
00:22:16,418 --> 00:22:17,711
What? About your dog?
341
00:22:17,711 --> 00:22:18,837
Our dog.
342
00:22:20,130 --> 00:22:21,673
And no, about our news.
343
00:22:22,966 --> 00:22:25,510
It is not the appropriate time
to tell the family.
344
00:22:26,136 --> 00:22:27,346
Not with the betrothal
345
00:22:27,846 --> 00:22:30,432
and Francesca's courtship
with Lord Kilmartin.
346
00:22:30,432 --> 00:22:32,100
Your mother has her hands full.
347
00:22:32,601 --> 00:22:34,603
We can keep our secret a little longer.
348
00:22:36,897 --> 00:22:39,358
Is this the only reason
you wish to delay our news?
349
00:22:40,609 --> 00:22:42,277
You are happy, I hope?
350
00:22:42,277 --> 00:22:44,279
Oh... very happy.
351
00:22:44,279 --> 00:22:46,365
[bright classical music playing]
352
00:22:48,950 --> 00:22:50,285
And very busy.
353
00:22:50,786 --> 00:22:54,039
[sighs] I must plan
the best betrothal party ever thrown
354
00:22:54,039 --> 00:22:56,666
before they nominate
someone else as viscountess.
355
00:22:59,002 --> 00:23:01,171
[up-tempo classical music playing]
356
00:23:01,171 --> 00:23:03,048
[indistinct chattering]
357
00:23:09,721 --> 00:23:10,639
I would say so.
358
00:23:10,639 --> 00:23:12,015
Fine-looking hound.
359
00:23:12,015 --> 00:23:13,850
- Good boy.
- [dog barks]
360
00:23:15,060 --> 00:23:17,771
[Francesca] I have been playing
since I was five years old,
361
00:23:17,771 --> 00:23:20,774
even though my fingers
were too small to reach all of the keys.
362
00:23:21,441 --> 00:23:23,485
My sister Daphne
had just begun her lessons,
363
00:23:23,485 --> 00:23:27,072
and I begged Mama
to let me sit with her as she learned.
364
00:23:27,739 --> 00:23:30,992
On the days her tutor came,
I would wake at six to practice.
365
00:23:30,992 --> 00:23:34,996
I would certainly rather be awakened
by your playing than by my valet.
366
00:23:35,664 --> 00:23:37,666
My family did not see it that way.
367
00:23:37,666 --> 00:23:40,085
Anthony once hid my piano stool
for a whole week.
368
00:23:40,085 --> 00:23:42,170
- So I would not wake him so early.
- [chuckling]
369
00:23:42,170 --> 00:23:45,132
[Francesca] I believe it was the reason
he moved to a bachelor's apartment.
370
00:23:45,132 --> 00:23:48,677
Uh... the viscount is home now, is he not?
371
00:23:49,594 --> 00:23:51,763
- Indeed. With my new sister.
- Mm.
372
00:23:51,763 --> 00:23:54,975
It is almost nauseating
how perfect they are together.
373
00:23:55,517 --> 00:23:56,393
Almost.
374
00:23:57,018 --> 00:23:57,853
Ha.
375
00:23:59,604 --> 00:24:03,233
Would you be nauseated
by the idea of marriage for yourself?
376
00:24:05,193 --> 00:24:06,027
No, I...
377
00:24:07,696 --> 00:24:10,615
I wish to be married. Very much, in fact.
378
00:24:12,409 --> 00:24:15,579
I just hope my husband
will not hide my piano stool from me.
379
00:24:15,579 --> 00:24:16,997
Hm.
380
00:24:17,581 --> 00:24:18,999
I would not dream of it.
381
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:23,545
[music peaks and fades out]
382
00:24:33,180 --> 00:24:36,224
We may need an extra table or two
in here for the desserts.
383
00:24:36,224 --> 00:24:39,060
Oh, and have cook
make extra cinnamon biscuits.
384
00:24:39,060 --> 00:24:40,353
Gregory's favorite.
385
00:24:40,353 --> 00:24:41,438
Of course, ma'am.
386
00:24:45,233 --> 00:24:47,777
That is all for now, Mrs. Wilson.
Thank you.
387
00:25:00,749 --> 00:25:01,625
Well...
388
00:25:02,751 --> 00:25:05,754
I have been needing a respite
from planning our hospitality.
389
00:25:06,379 --> 00:25:07,839
You seem to be quite good at it.
390
00:25:07,839 --> 00:25:09,174
Oh, I am. [chuckles]
391
00:25:09,799 --> 00:25:12,177
But I'd still much rather
be out riding somewhere.
392
00:25:12,177 --> 00:25:14,596
- Do not tell your mother.
- Hm. [chuckles]
393
00:25:19,476 --> 00:25:20,977
Is your mind on Penelope?
394
00:25:24,564 --> 00:25:27,067
I am not entirely surprised
she kept a secret from me.
395
00:25:27,067 --> 00:25:29,110
This is not the first time
she has done so.
396
00:25:30,654 --> 00:25:31,571
But Colin...
397
00:25:34,574 --> 00:25:38,161
And once again, I am left to face the fact
that everyone eventually pairs off.
398
00:25:38,161 --> 00:25:39,955
While I, too, would rather be out riding.
399
00:25:39,955 --> 00:25:42,123
Metaphorically speaking.
I do not much like horses.
400
00:25:45,877 --> 00:25:47,128
Family is everything.
401
00:25:48,338 --> 00:25:51,299
It is why you must talk to Colin,
tell him how you are feeling.
402
00:25:51,299 --> 00:25:53,176
[solemn music playing]
403
00:25:53,176 --> 00:25:55,679
There is no better feeling than the truth.
404
00:26:00,058 --> 00:26:02,143
You should know
Gregory hates cinnamon biscuits
405
00:26:02,143 --> 00:26:05,063
since Benedict dared him to eat
a whole plate, and he threw them up.
406
00:26:05,939 --> 00:26:07,315
Ah. [chuckles]
407
00:26:07,315 --> 00:26:09,025
He likes fruit jellies now.
408
00:26:09,568 --> 00:26:10,569
- Oh.
- [chuckles]
409
00:26:10,569 --> 00:26:12,445
Well, fruit jellies it is.
410
00:26:12,445 --> 00:26:13,822
[both chuckle]
411
00:26:16,533 --> 00:26:17,576
Thank you.
412
00:26:19,911 --> 00:26:21,913
- [sighs deeply]
- [music fades out]
413
00:26:24,749 --> 00:26:26,751
[footsteps approaching]
414
00:26:26,751 --> 00:26:27,711
[Varley] Ma'am.
415
00:26:29,546 --> 00:26:30,797
Are you all right?
416
00:26:30,797 --> 00:26:32,215
Am I to take it as an insult
417
00:26:32,215 --> 00:26:35,343
that Mr. Bridgerton thinks
I am preoccupied with standing?
418
00:26:35,343 --> 00:26:39,222
As if it is a misdeed
to protect this family's place in society.
419
00:26:39,222 --> 00:26:41,141
There's nothing wrong with that, ma'am.
420
00:26:41,683 --> 00:26:44,811
And how was I to know
that it was a love match between them?
421
00:26:44,811 --> 00:26:46,354
It is certainly uncommon.
422
00:26:46,980 --> 00:26:48,690
Not just for Penelope.
423
00:26:49,482 --> 00:26:50,358
For any of us.
424
00:26:50,942 --> 00:26:54,362
I am certain she will understand.
You were only trying to protect her.
425
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:57,866
Perhaps you should tell them as much.
426
00:26:59,534 --> 00:27:00,952
Speaking of standing...
427
00:27:01,953 --> 00:27:05,248
[sighs] A connection to the Bridgertons
wouldn't hurt at this moment.
428
00:27:05,248 --> 00:27:06,750
I told him you weren't here.
429
00:27:07,500 --> 00:27:10,295
That solicitor
poking into Jack Featherington.
430
00:27:11,004 --> 00:27:12,547
He wants to see you again.
431
00:27:14,633 --> 00:27:16,635
[gentle music plays]
432
00:27:18,094 --> 00:27:19,054
[sighs softly]
433
00:27:23,683 --> 00:27:25,101
Do I look a mess?
434
00:27:27,062 --> 00:27:28,313
- Yes.
- [chuckles]
435
00:27:28,313 --> 00:27:29,731
But you are my mess.
436
00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:34,194
I hope I was all right for you.
437
00:27:35,820 --> 00:27:37,739
I know you are more experienced.
438
00:27:40,116 --> 00:27:43,244
There is nothing that compares to this.
439
00:27:45,330 --> 00:27:47,040
Not even the women in Paris?
440
00:27:47,582 --> 00:27:49,209
[both laughing]
441
00:27:51,711 --> 00:27:53,672
Will you let me read more of your writing?
442
00:27:54,798 --> 00:27:56,925
- You promised me you would.
- That is true.
443
00:27:58,051 --> 00:27:59,803
And I do not like to break a promise.
444
00:28:07,686 --> 00:28:09,688
Colin, there is something I must tell you.
445
00:28:10,647 --> 00:28:11,481
What is it?
446
00:28:12,941 --> 00:28:13,983
[knocking at door]
447
00:28:13,983 --> 00:28:15,485
[tense music plays lightly]
448
00:28:15,485 --> 00:28:19,197
Damn. That must be the servants, no doubt,
bringing over my personal effects.
449
00:28:28,415 --> 00:28:30,458
We can take my carriage across the park.
450
00:28:30,959 --> 00:28:32,043
No one will see us.
451
00:28:36,256 --> 00:28:38,925
- [footsteps approaching]
- [Charlotte chuckles lightly]
452
00:28:40,468 --> 00:28:41,970
- [liquid splashes]
- [door opens]
453
00:28:44,723 --> 00:28:45,849
Lady Danbury.
454
00:28:47,058 --> 00:28:50,687
Take a seat, and enjoy
this momentous day with me.
455
00:28:51,479 --> 00:28:54,399
What is it that we are... celebrating?
456
00:28:54,399 --> 00:28:56,609
The demise of Lady Whistledown.
457
00:28:58,278 --> 00:28:59,779
[inhales deeply]
458
00:29:00,447 --> 00:29:01,406
[exhales sharply]
459
00:29:01,406 --> 00:29:02,657
Do you smell that?
460
00:29:02,657 --> 00:29:05,034
It reeks of weakness.
461
00:29:05,034 --> 00:29:06,619
She antagonizes no one.
462
00:29:06,619 --> 00:29:09,330
She makes no attempt to gloat
463
00:29:09,330 --> 00:29:12,333
about my sparkler's turn
toward the mediocre.
464
00:29:13,376 --> 00:29:14,627
She is undefended.
465
00:29:14,627 --> 00:29:15,712
[quietly] Thank you.
466
00:29:15,712 --> 00:29:18,381
Now is the time to strike.
467
00:29:19,090 --> 00:29:22,260
And what is your plan, Your Majesty?
468
00:29:25,221 --> 00:29:27,056
- It is already done.
- Ah.
469
00:29:27,056 --> 00:29:30,727
My Royal Messengers are marching
through the streets as we speak.
470
00:29:30,727 --> 00:29:32,061
Hm.
471
00:29:32,061 --> 00:29:33,480
Oh, Lady Danbury.
472
00:29:34,814 --> 00:29:37,108
We are going to have so much fun.
473
00:29:37,108 --> 00:29:39,194
[mischievous music plays]
474
00:29:41,154 --> 00:29:43,156
- [horses whinny]
- [music fades out]
475
00:29:53,291 --> 00:29:55,293
[fanfare playing]
476
00:30:03,218 --> 00:30:04,761
A letter from the queen.
477
00:30:04,761 --> 00:30:06,179
- From the queen.
- Thank you.
478
00:30:07,597 --> 00:30:08,723
[indistinct chatter]
479
00:30:12,602 --> 00:30:13,937
Whoa! Easy.
480
00:30:15,563 --> 00:30:17,398
[man] By proclamation of the queen.
481
00:30:20,401 --> 00:30:21,653
- What is it?
- [driver] Go on!
482
00:30:21,653 --> 00:30:23,822
- It is a message from the queen.
- Mm.
483
00:30:24,614 --> 00:30:27,450
"Dearest members
of my most esteemed ton, I hereby..."
484
00:30:27,450 --> 00:30:30,328
[Charlotte] "...declare that whoever
brings legitimate evidence
485
00:30:30,328 --> 00:30:32,997
of Lady Whistledown's identity
to the palace
486
00:30:32,997 --> 00:30:36,125
shall receive a £5,000 reward."
487
00:30:36,668 --> 00:30:40,588
"Yours truly,
Her Majesty Queen Charlotte."
488
00:30:40,588 --> 00:30:44,050
Finally, the woman will get
the consequences she deserves.
489
00:30:45,009 --> 00:30:47,345
Imagine... unmasking Whistledown.
490
00:30:48,388 --> 00:30:49,556
You'll not try, will you?
491
00:30:49,556 --> 00:30:51,474
I am certain I will not have to.
492
00:30:51,474 --> 00:30:54,143
Someone else will surely root her out.
493
00:30:54,143 --> 00:30:55,603
[tense music playing]
494
00:30:59,107 --> 00:31:00,900
Now, what did you wish to tell me?
495
00:31:03,486 --> 00:31:04,320
Nothing.
496
00:31:05,321 --> 00:31:06,739
It is not important now.
497
00:31:08,658 --> 00:31:09,534
Hm.
498
00:31:33,641 --> 00:31:36,144
Eloise. I have been looking for you.
499
00:31:40,648 --> 00:31:42,400
Uh... may we?
500
00:31:50,617 --> 00:31:51,743
[Eloise clears throat]
501
00:31:53,786 --> 00:31:57,999
I apologize... for not telling you sooner
about my feelings for Penelope.
502
00:31:57,999 --> 00:31:59,834
- In fact, I think I shall stand.
- Eloise.
503
00:31:59,834 --> 00:32:03,755
It is strange enough to have one's brother
speaking about feelings for one's friend,
504
00:32:03,755 --> 00:32:06,591
but you knew we were at odds
and still went behind my back.
505
00:32:06,591 --> 00:32:09,302
I know. And I am deeply sorry.
506
00:32:09,886 --> 00:32:12,847
But I love her, El,
in more ways than I can even express.
507
00:32:12,847 --> 00:32:14,766
Perhaps it is better you do not try.
508
00:32:14,766 --> 00:32:16,893
And you loved her once too.
509
00:32:17,852 --> 00:32:19,687
You were inseparable.
510
00:32:20,313 --> 00:32:22,815
I remember the day the Featheringtons
moved in across the square.
511
00:32:22,815 --> 00:32:26,569
From that day on, it was,
"Penelope this," and "Penelope that,"
512
00:32:26,569 --> 00:32:30,073
and "Penelope and I are going to read
Don Quixote, and going to be knights."
513
00:32:32,992 --> 00:32:36,079
I was devastated to learn we were
not allowed to take fencing lessons.
514
00:32:36,079 --> 00:32:37,038
Mm.
515
00:32:38,748 --> 00:32:41,793
Penelope is going to be your sister soon.
516
00:32:42,877 --> 00:32:45,421
There was once a time
that would've been your greatest dream.
517
00:32:48,549 --> 00:32:52,845
It would mean the world to me
to have your blessing.
518
00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:56,224
And I know it would mean
a great deal to Penelope too.
519
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:04,190
Oh. I almost forgot.
520
00:33:04,190 --> 00:33:05,775
I have a gift for you.
521
00:33:07,485 --> 00:33:09,862
I know you despise Whistledown
as much as I do.
522
00:33:09,862 --> 00:33:11,197
[Eloise exclaims softly]
523
00:33:11,197 --> 00:33:13,282
[tense music plays]
524
00:33:20,707 --> 00:33:22,375
{\an8}[music fades out slowly]
525
00:33:22,375 --> 00:33:24,711
{\an8}[Lady Cowper]
We are delighted by your intentions
526
00:33:24,711 --> 00:33:26,587
{\an8}towards our daughter, Lord Greer.
527
00:33:26,587 --> 00:33:28,339
{\an8}I assure you, should we marry,
528
00:33:28,339 --> 00:33:30,466
we shall be pillars of society.
529
00:33:30,967 --> 00:33:34,137
As my wife, Miss Cowper will reflect me.
530
00:33:34,804 --> 00:33:36,889
None of this fashionable dress.
531
00:33:37,390 --> 00:33:39,642
Somber clothing is best. Gray or brown.
532
00:33:40,351 --> 00:33:44,856
And we do not flit about town,
engaged in gossip within the ton.
533
00:33:46,441 --> 00:33:48,985
We shall attend no more
than one ball per month
534
00:33:48,985 --> 00:33:51,821
and only if the hosts
are of strong moral character.
535
00:33:53,114 --> 00:33:55,324
I certainly do not believe in music,
536
00:33:56,117 --> 00:33:59,245
and modern art nowadays
is absolutely scandalous.
537
00:33:59,871 --> 00:34:03,833
Her tender eyes and ears
will never be exposed to such filth.
538
00:34:05,918 --> 00:34:08,171
[clears throat] That sounds delightful.
539
00:34:09,797 --> 00:34:11,758
Do you not agree, Cressida?
540
00:34:18,973 --> 00:34:20,016
Very good.
541
00:34:20,016 --> 00:34:22,894
And, of course, I do still expect babies.
542
00:34:22,894 --> 00:34:24,562
I so love children.
543
00:34:24,562 --> 00:34:26,939
I would be happy with four or five.
544
00:34:27,774 --> 00:34:30,026
Hmm. Of course.
545
00:34:30,026 --> 00:34:32,111
[pensive music playing]
546
00:34:36,032 --> 00:34:38,034
[breathes deeply]
547
00:34:44,207 --> 00:34:45,625
[music fades out slowly]
548
00:34:45,625 --> 00:34:49,796
Why does no one simply consult
the local parish registry for her name?
549
00:34:49,796 --> 00:34:51,089
She must live somewhere.
550
00:34:51,672 --> 00:34:55,134
You suggest to look in a registry
for someone named Lady Whistledown?
551
00:34:55,134 --> 00:34:58,721
Well, obviously, not that exactly.
But she must have a first name.
552
00:34:58,721 --> 00:35:00,890
That is how you think
Whistledown will be discovered?
553
00:35:00,890 --> 00:35:03,810
She shall not be discovered.
She is too good at hiding herself.
554
00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:08,898
Speaking of hiding...
how did you secure Mr. Bridgerton?
555
00:35:09,941 --> 00:35:12,235
Did you find a spell in one of your books?
556
00:35:12,235 --> 00:35:13,194
[both chuckling]
557
00:35:13,194 --> 00:35:16,239
Girls, you shall not abuse your sister
in this household.
558
00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:17,240
[scoffs]
559
00:35:17,240 --> 00:35:18,449
You were the one who--
560
00:35:18,449 --> 00:35:21,077
We have all been acting
in an uncouth way of late.
561
00:35:21,953 --> 00:35:25,039
With the excitement of dual pregnancies
and a surprise engagement,
562
00:35:25,039 --> 00:35:26,833
we have all quite forgotten ourselves.
563
00:35:26,833 --> 00:35:29,877
But as head of this household,
I will remind us.
564
00:35:30,461 --> 00:35:32,213
Featheringtons support one another.
565
00:35:32,213 --> 00:35:33,548
[chuckling scoffs]
566
00:35:33,548 --> 00:35:35,466
Is that what you were doing?
Supporting me?
567
00:35:35,466 --> 00:35:36,843
[sighs]
568
00:35:36,843 --> 00:35:38,678
You are right. I have been unkind.
569
00:35:38,678 --> 00:35:40,346
But it stops now.
570
00:35:40,346 --> 00:35:43,057
And thankfully,
we have your engagement party coming up
571
00:35:43,057 --> 00:35:44,892
to allow us our fresh start.
572
00:35:44,892 --> 00:35:46,185
We do?
573
00:35:46,185 --> 00:35:50,189
Which Penelope and I shall attend alone.
574
00:35:50,940 --> 00:35:52,859
It will give you two time to deliberate
575
00:35:52,859 --> 00:35:55,611
on how best to amend your behavior
towards your sister.
576
00:35:56,112 --> 00:35:57,780
I am going to my room to read.
577
00:35:58,406 --> 00:35:59,991
[Lady Featherington] Very well.
578
00:35:59,991 --> 00:36:02,076
[pensive music plays]
579
00:36:05,371 --> 00:36:09,208
[Lady Whistledown] It seems
the only thing quicker than the match
580
00:36:09,208 --> 00:36:12,378
between Miss Featherington
and Mr. Bridgerton
581
00:36:12,378 --> 00:36:16,799
is the rest of London's
quick return to old ways,
582
00:36:16,799 --> 00:36:21,012
with Lady Featherington racing
to attach herself to the Bridgertons
583
00:36:21,012 --> 00:36:23,556
and the queen back on her fruitless hunt
584
00:36:23,556 --> 00:36:25,766
for Lady Whistledown.
585
00:36:26,309 --> 00:36:31,230
But this secret is one
that cannot be rushed.
586
00:36:31,731 --> 00:36:33,524
[music fades out]
587
00:36:33,524 --> 00:36:36,736
Forks go to the left,
while knives and spoons go to the right.
588
00:36:36,736 --> 00:36:39,906
- Mm-hmm.
- Perfect. He's learned so quickly.
589
00:36:39,906 --> 00:36:41,991
He gets his quick mind from his mother.
590
00:36:41,991 --> 00:36:43,284
Do you not think, Will?
591
00:36:47,455 --> 00:36:48,456
[softly] Excuse me.
592
00:36:49,582 --> 00:36:52,585
[woman] You shall be quite ready
for your first outing in society.
593
00:36:52,585 --> 00:36:54,003
How are your ledgers?
594
00:36:54,003 --> 00:36:55,963
Still emptier than they should be.
595
00:36:55,963 --> 00:36:58,549
- You must take some time off this week.
- I cannot--
596
00:36:58,549 --> 00:36:59,467
You can.
597
00:37:01,052 --> 00:37:02,303
And I insist you do.
598
00:37:03,137 --> 00:37:04,138
[woman] Perfect.
599
00:37:04,138 --> 00:37:06,849
Your ledgers will not miss you,
but your family will.
600
00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:13,147
[woman] That's it, to the right.
601
00:37:15,233 --> 00:37:16,067
Well done.
602
00:37:16,067 --> 00:37:18,778
[solemn music playing]
603
00:37:23,199 --> 00:37:24,200
[music fades out]
604
00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:26,285
[indistinct chatter]
605
00:37:31,249 --> 00:37:33,251
[up-tempo classical music playing]
606
00:37:36,796 --> 00:37:37,797
Thank you.
607
00:37:38,839 --> 00:37:40,258
Good evening, gentlemen.
608
00:37:40,258 --> 00:37:41,968
You have outdone yourself, sister.
609
00:37:41,968 --> 00:37:44,637
- Look at the place.
- Thank you. You all look dashing.
610
00:37:45,304 --> 00:37:46,514
Not as much as Gregory.
611
00:37:47,098 --> 00:37:50,059
Brother, wherever
did you get such a fine hat?
612
00:37:50,059 --> 00:37:51,435
I will be an Eton man soon.
613
00:37:51,435 --> 00:37:53,771
It is high time I begin
presenting myself as one.
614
00:37:53,771 --> 00:37:56,607
Perhaps Eton will make your brain
big enough to fill that hat.
615
00:37:56,607 --> 00:37:58,025
- [Kate] Oh! Ah...
- [laughing]
616
00:37:58,025 --> 00:38:01,070
Well, as a man of the house,
you must greet our guests.
617
00:38:02,154 --> 00:38:03,823
Ah. Welcome.
618
00:38:05,366 --> 00:38:06,367
Miss Hyacinth.
619
00:38:08,286 --> 00:38:10,705
A pleasure to make
your acquaintance, Lord Kent.
620
00:38:11,914 --> 00:38:13,791
[Gregory] Do not take interest in her.
621
00:38:13,791 --> 00:38:16,335
I have a new bow and arrow.
Would you like to see it?
622
00:38:20,214 --> 00:38:21,465
[both chuckle softly]
623
00:38:23,551 --> 00:38:25,553
[light classical tune playing]
624
00:38:33,185 --> 00:38:34,395
[Lady Featherington] Hm.
625
00:38:34,395 --> 00:38:38,399
The decorations are somewhat
more drab than I remember, are they not?
626
00:38:42,695 --> 00:38:44,155
My bride-to-be.
627
00:38:47,283 --> 00:38:48,200
Good evening.
628
00:38:49,076 --> 00:38:50,953
And here is my son-to-be.
629
00:38:51,537 --> 00:38:53,164
Lady Featherington.
630
00:38:53,164 --> 00:38:56,000
It is pleasant to receive
such a warm greeting from you.
631
00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:56,917
[sighs]
632
00:38:56,917 --> 00:39:00,129
I deeply regret my earlier comments.
633
00:39:00,129 --> 00:39:02,006
Let us put it in the past.
634
00:39:02,006 --> 00:39:05,593
Tonight, we celebrate
our collective future.
635
00:39:06,927 --> 00:39:10,348
Well, if that is your intent,
then it shall be mine to honor it.
636
00:39:10,848 --> 00:39:12,892
Oh, I must tell your mother
how much I love
637
00:39:12,892 --> 00:39:15,061
what she has done with the decoration.
638
00:39:15,061 --> 00:39:16,604
Are the drinks nearby?
639
00:39:23,986 --> 00:39:26,447
Eloise mentioned
that Miss Cowper invited herself.
640
00:39:26,947 --> 00:39:28,532
I was not sure I could say no.
641
00:39:28,532 --> 00:39:30,242
- It is all right.
- Good.
642
00:39:31,744 --> 00:39:35,373
I rather relish her presence,
so that she can watch you in your triumph.
643
00:39:37,083 --> 00:39:38,125
Hm.
644
00:39:39,585 --> 00:39:42,838
[Lady Danbury] Anyone who
questions their match is a fool.
645
00:39:42,838 --> 00:39:47,093
And all she had to do to get him
to marry her was be herself.
646
00:39:47,093 --> 00:39:50,388
- She is an extraordinary young woman.
- [chuckles]
647
00:39:50,388 --> 00:39:51,347
Lady Bridgerton.
648
00:39:51,347 --> 00:39:53,516
Lord Anderson, welcome. [chuckles]
649
00:39:54,266 --> 00:39:58,104
Marcus. I did not realize
that you were coming tonight.
650
00:39:58,104 --> 00:40:00,940
We ran into each other
out promenading the other day.
651
00:40:00,940 --> 00:40:02,733
A happy coincidence.
652
00:40:02,733 --> 00:40:03,734
Indeed.
653
00:40:08,197 --> 00:40:09,698
And I invited him.
654
00:40:09,698 --> 00:40:10,658
[inhales sharply]
655
00:40:12,993 --> 00:40:14,328
I see.
656
00:40:14,328 --> 00:40:17,790
Well, to the happy couple.
657
00:40:20,334 --> 00:40:21,168
[Violet] Mm.
658
00:40:22,336 --> 00:40:24,338
[Cressida] Lord Greer is horrible, Eloise.
659
00:40:24,922 --> 00:40:27,675
I have been thinking on ways
to circumvent his proposal.
660
00:40:27,675 --> 00:40:28,759
Will you help me?
661
00:40:30,261 --> 00:40:32,638
Of course. Just... excuse me.
662
00:40:35,349 --> 00:40:38,144
Either my brother is the most
understanding person ever born,
663
00:40:38,144 --> 00:40:39,562
or you have not yet told him.
664
00:40:39,562 --> 00:40:41,105
I am waiting for the right time.
665
00:40:41,105 --> 00:40:42,815
It does not concern only you.
666
00:40:43,399 --> 00:40:46,777
This secret, this lie, with the queen's
reward, it is bound to come out.
667
00:40:46,777 --> 00:40:49,363
And when it does, Colin will know
I kept it from him as well.
668
00:40:51,031 --> 00:40:53,242
If it proves too difficult
for you to reveal the truth,
669
00:40:53,242 --> 00:40:55,744
I will be merciful
and reveal it to him myself.
670
00:40:56,537 --> 00:40:57,746
You have until midnight.
671
00:40:57,746 --> 00:40:59,290
[stirring music plays]
672
00:41:03,461 --> 00:41:04,545
Your refreshment.
673
00:41:08,174 --> 00:41:09,341
Is everything all right?
674
00:41:12,344 --> 00:41:14,638
[clock ticking]
675
00:41:15,598 --> 00:41:17,641
[breathing shakily]
676
00:41:19,393 --> 00:41:21,562
[pleasant classical music playing]
677
00:41:21,562 --> 00:41:22,771
Good evening.
678
00:41:22,771 --> 00:41:26,942
Lady Arnold, please allow me to introduce
you to my sister, Lady Bridgerton.
679
00:41:27,485 --> 00:41:29,153
Delighted to make your acquaintance.
680
00:41:30,362 --> 00:41:32,323
It seems you host a hell of a party.
681
00:41:33,616 --> 00:41:34,742
I like her already.
682
00:41:44,210 --> 00:41:46,754
[Francesca] May I present my brother,
Viscount Bridgerton.
683
00:41:46,754 --> 00:41:49,548
I've heard nothing
but the highest praise for you, my lord.
684
00:41:49,548 --> 00:41:52,134
So, you have not been
speaking with my family then?
685
00:41:52,134 --> 00:41:54,136
[all laughing]
686
00:41:54,136 --> 00:41:56,555
Lord Kilmartin, you must tell them
the amusing story
687
00:41:56,555 --> 00:41:58,974
you were telling me the other day,
about the boots.
688
00:41:59,975 --> 00:42:00,809
Ah, yes.
689
00:42:02,144 --> 00:42:02,978
The boots.
690
00:42:05,439 --> 00:42:07,816
Well, there was, uh... there was mud...
691
00:42:09,693 --> 00:42:11,487
a great deal of mud on them.
692
00:42:12,029 --> 00:42:12,988
[hesitates]
693
00:42:15,616 --> 00:42:17,284
[chuckling lightly]
694
00:42:17,284 --> 00:42:19,078
Shall we get some refreshment?
695
00:42:19,078 --> 00:42:20,037
Mm.
696
00:42:24,625 --> 00:42:25,709
What do you think?
697
00:42:26,293 --> 00:42:28,963
They are rather... similar.
698
00:42:28,963 --> 00:42:30,756
Yes, but do you not think
699
00:42:30,756 --> 00:42:33,717
Francesca could use someone
to bring her out of her shell?
700
00:42:33,717 --> 00:42:35,761
And given that the queen is opposed...
701
00:42:35,761 --> 00:42:40,140
Oh! So much so it may have inspired
her Whistledown reward today.
702
00:42:40,140 --> 00:42:43,394
Perhaps you should take
the direct approach, for once.
703
00:42:43,394 --> 00:42:45,646
I know it is unlike you
to cajole your children.
704
00:42:45,646 --> 00:42:48,649
- You mock me.
- As you rightly mocked me all last season.
705
00:42:48,649 --> 00:42:49,733
[chuckling]
706
00:42:53,487 --> 00:42:54,530
- Excuse me.
- Yes.
707
00:42:56,156 --> 00:42:57,032
[chuckling]
708
00:42:57,032 --> 00:43:00,703
There you are, Lady Bridgerton.
We keep missing one another.
709
00:43:00,703 --> 00:43:03,122
Duty of a hostess, I am afraid. [chuckles]
710
00:43:03,122 --> 00:43:04,790
- Well understood.
- Mm-hmm.
711
00:43:05,583 --> 00:43:07,585
[clinking]
712
00:43:08,502 --> 00:43:11,463
Good evening, everyone.
If you will allow me a few words.
713
00:43:20,806 --> 00:43:24,768
Most people, when they fall off a horse,
are counseled to get back on it again.
714
00:43:25,561 --> 00:43:28,063
I say stay down, for in the mud,
715
00:43:28,063 --> 00:43:30,941
you may happen to be blessed
with your future bride.
716
00:43:30,941 --> 00:43:32,026
[light laughter]
717
00:43:32,026 --> 00:43:35,613
It was my atrocious riding
that led me to meet Miss Featherington,
718
00:43:36,238 --> 00:43:40,075
Pen... and I am so grateful
to be here with her tonight.
719
00:43:42,411 --> 00:43:44,246
I look forward to our life together,
720
00:43:45,372 --> 00:43:47,374
to knowing each other fully,
721
00:43:48,709 --> 00:43:51,462
and to never taking
a single day with you for granted.
722
00:43:51,462 --> 00:43:52,421
[Violet sighs]
723
00:43:52,421 --> 00:43:54,590
- [man] Congratulations.
- [woman] Hear, hear.
724
00:43:54,590 --> 00:43:56,008
[guests clapping]
725
00:43:56,008 --> 00:43:58,052
[guests exclaiming]
726
00:43:58,052 --> 00:43:59,803
[Lady Danbury] Health and happiness.
727
00:44:00,721 --> 00:44:02,139
- [clinking]
- [clears throat]
728
00:44:02,139 --> 00:44:03,265
[tense notes play]
729
00:44:03,265 --> 00:44:05,434
Congratulations to you both. [chuckles]
730
00:44:05,434 --> 00:44:08,270
Here is to truly knowing each other.
731
00:44:09,104 --> 00:44:10,105
Completely.
732
00:44:11,023 --> 00:44:12,566
Before the clock runs out.
733
00:44:12,566 --> 00:44:14,485
- [tense music plays]
- [clock ticking]
734
00:44:18,197 --> 00:44:19,990
Hm. The clock of life, of course.
735
00:44:19,990 --> 00:44:22,618
[chuckles] Ticks for us all.
To your good health!
736
00:44:24,620 --> 00:44:26,914
- [music stops]
- Thank you, Eloise. I...
737
00:44:27,623 --> 00:44:31,585
I should like to add how... proud I am
738
00:44:32,127 --> 00:44:34,546
of my lovely daughter, Penelope.
739
00:44:34,546 --> 00:44:35,547
[Violet chuckles]
740
00:44:35,547 --> 00:44:39,343
To the match of the season,
and the Featherington-Bridgerton family.
741
00:44:39,343 --> 00:44:40,594
[chuckles]
742
00:44:40,594 --> 00:44:43,180
I cannot tell if this party
needs stronger drinks or weaker ones.
743
00:44:43,180 --> 00:44:47,685
Now, perhaps some dessert
and charades in the drawing room.
744
00:44:47,685 --> 00:44:49,353
[indistinct chattering]
745
00:44:49,353 --> 00:44:52,356
[pensive music playing]
746
00:44:58,862 --> 00:44:59,697
Shall we?
747
00:44:59,697 --> 00:45:00,614
Of course.
748
00:45:05,160 --> 00:45:06,787
Bridgerton rules, everyone.
749
00:45:06,787 --> 00:45:07,788
[music fades out]
750
00:45:07,788 --> 00:45:10,624
The person who guesses correctly
shall take the next turn.
751
00:45:10,624 --> 00:45:15,546
We shall continue swapping around the room
until the intellectual genius of the group
752
00:45:15,546 --> 00:45:18,048
reveals him or herself.
753
00:45:18,048 --> 00:45:19,174
Who shall go first?
754
00:45:19,174 --> 00:45:21,176
Ah. I think Penelope.
755
00:45:21,176 --> 00:45:22,720
It is her night, after all.
756
00:45:22,720 --> 00:45:23,887
- Yes.
- Very well.
757
00:45:24,722 --> 00:45:25,556
Yes.
758
00:45:27,558 --> 00:45:32,938
[clears throat] "My second is conveyed
to my first by the company of family."
759
00:45:32,938 --> 00:45:35,190
"My whole is a product of spring."
760
00:45:35,190 --> 00:45:38,318
"A product of spring..."
Surely a flower of some kind.
761
00:45:38,318 --> 00:45:41,113
- Lilies. Forget-me-not. Lilacs!
- No!
762
00:45:41,113 --> 00:45:45,492
Ease is conveyed to one's heart
by the company of family.
763
00:45:45,492 --> 00:45:47,035
Heart's-ease, the flower.
764
00:45:47,035 --> 00:45:49,121
- Eloise is correct.
- Yes.
765
00:45:49,121 --> 00:45:51,999
- Very good, sister.
- Well done. Your turn, then.
766
00:45:51,999 --> 00:45:53,417
[light music playing]
767
00:45:53,417 --> 00:45:55,252
Here we go. Round two.
768
00:45:56,670 --> 00:45:58,172
[clears throat] Thank you.
769
00:46:01,717 --> 00:46:04,261
"My first is a contraction for society."
770
00:46:04,261 --> 00:46:06,263
"My second denotes a recluse."
771
00:46:06,263 --> 00:46:09,933
"My third forms a part of the ear.
My whole is but a quibble."
772
00:46:09,933 --> 00:46:12,186
- Something "nun."
- Yes, exactly.
773
00:46:12,186 --> 00:46:14,188
- Earlobe. Earlobe!
- Um, no! Wait, no.
774
00:46:14,188 --> 00:46:16,273
- [man laughing]
- Is it not, um...
775
00:46:16,982 --> 00:46:17,941
A "conundrum"?
776
00:46:17,941 --> 00:46:19,485
- Yah! Yes!
- Clever.
777
00:46:19,485 --> 00:46:21,653
- Very good.
- [Benedict] You are good.
778
00:46:21,653 --> 00:46:22,946
Clever. Well done.
779
00:46:22,946 --> 00:46:24,823
[overlapping chatter]
780
00:46:24,823 --> 00:46:29,077
"My first, I would venture for.
My second, I would venture in."
781
00:46:29,077 --> 00:46:31,538
"My whole is more
talked of than practiced."
782
00:46:31,538 --> 00:46:33,499
A dwelling, perhaps?
783
00:46:33,499 --> 00:46:35,876
No. "Venture for, venture in."
784
00:46:36,877 --> 00:46:38,629
It is friendship, is it not?
785
00:46:39,421 --> 00:46:40,464
It is.
786
00:46:40,464 --> 00:46:42,299
- [chuckling]
- [light clapping]
787
00:46:42,299 --> 00:46:44,384
Will the rest of us
participate in the game as well?
788
00:46:44,384 --> 00:46:48,055
- There is a history between these two.
- And perhaps it will finally be settled.
789
00:46:48,055 --> 00:46:50,933
- [Lady Arnold speaking softly]
- [Benedict] I will get us a drink.
790
00:46:50,933 --> 00:46:52,267
[music fades out]
791
00:46:52,267 --> 00:46:56,230
[Eloise] "My first is somewhat soft
and yellow, especially in the spring."
792
00:46:56,230 --> 00:46:59,691
"My next are busy,
meddling fellow forever on the..."
793
00:47:03,195 --> 00:47:04,279
[chuckling]
794
00:47:04,279 --> 00:47:06,490
It looks like Nicky
is about to learn chess.
795
00:47:06,490 --> 00:47:07,407
[Alice] Mm.
796
00:47:08,492 --> 00:47:11,119
Well, you know,
Daisy finally mounted a horse this week.
797
00:47:12,120 --> 00:47:14,498
- She did?
- Mm-hm. She had this look in her eye.
798
00:47:15,290 --> 00:47:18,085
Her fear subsided,
and she did what was most difficult.
799
00:47:18,085 --> 00:47:22,714
And all I could think was...
"I wish her father were here to see this."
800
00:47:26,426 --> 00:47:28,303
- I'll get us a drink.
- That'd be lovely.
801
00:47:28,303 --> 00:47:30,222
- Lemonade?
- Yes, they're just over there.
802
00:47:30,222 --> 00:47:34,142
- [Colin] Very good, Will.
- [Anthony] Finally. The cycle is broken.
803
00:47:34,142 --> 00:47:36,228
[overlapping chatter]
804
00:47:36,854 --> 00:47:39,857
[Will] "My first wettens the wilds
to create new life."
805
00:47:39,857 --> 00:47:44,361
"My second adorns a young girl's hair
until she becomes a wife."
806
00:47:44,361 --> 00:47:48,574
"My whole can lead to pots of gold,
ending years of strife."
807
00:47:49,241 --> 00:47:50,325
Rainbow.
808
00:47:50,325 --> 00:47:51,869
- That is the one.
- [Colin] Ah!
809
00:47:51,869 --> 00:47:52,953
[Anthony] Very good.
810
00:47:52,953 --> 00:47:54,246
[clapping]
811
00:47:54,246 --> 00:47:55,330
[woman] Bravo.
812
00:47:55,330 --> 00:47:56,415
Very good.
813
00:47:59,293 --> 00:48:01,461
[somber music playing]
814
00:48:04,840 --> 00:48:08,218
[Lady Featherington] "My first is a term
to relay a circumstance present at..."
815
00:48:08,218 --> 00:48:09,553
Do you want to hear my plan?
816
00:48:11,263 --> 00:48:12,639
To avoid marrying Lord Greer?
817
00:48:12,639 --> 00:48:14,558
[clears throat] Of course.
818
00:48:15,350 --> 00:48:17,227
I am going to take a flat in Vienna,
819
00:48:17,227 --> 00:48:21,189
live my own life with the reward money
from identifying Whistledown.
820
00:48:22,316 --> 00:48:23,191
[chuckles softly]
821
00:48:23,191 --> 00:48:26,361
Eloise, do you not care I'm being forced
to marry a man thrice my age?
822
00:48:26,361 --> 00:48:28,071
Uh, of course I care.
823
00:48:28,071 --> 00:48:30,324
And I'd very much like
to shout at your parents
824
00:48:30,324 --> 00:48:32,284
if I thought it'd make any difference.
825
00:48:33,327 --> 00:48:36,413
But as much as I would love
to see Whistledown finally exposed,
826
00:48:36,413 --> 00:48:37,623
you will never find her.
827
00:48:38,707 --> 00:48:40,542
You do not think I am clever enough.
828
00:48:41,209 --> 00:48:44,922
No... No, that is not what I meant.
I could not find her myself.
829
00:48:44,922 --> 00:48:46,632
And you are far more clever than I.
830
00:48:48,050 --> 00:48:51,386
Cressida, I am sorry.
Please, I cannot do this right now.
831
00:48:52,054 --> 00:48:54,389
I will find a way to obtain that reward.
832
00:48:58,644 --> 00:48:59,519
[music fades out]
833
00:48:59,519 --> 00:49:02,022
Lord Kilmartin,
are you enjoying your evening?
834
00:49:02,022 --> 00:49:03,148
Yes. Thank you.
835
00:49:06,568 --> 00:49:09,446
Without such an audience,
I should like to share with you three
836
00:49:09,446 --> 00:49:11,531
the true story of my muddy boots.
837
00:49:12,199 --> 00:49:14,785
- [Violet clears throat]
- Here is what truly happened. Um...
838
00:49:15,702 --> 00:49:16,578
[clears throat]
839
00:49:17,788 --> 00:49:21,083
A suspicious streak of mud
found its way into our home.
840
00:49:21,083 --> 00:49:24,670
And there we were, myself,
the servants, even my mother,
841
00:49:24,670 --> 00:49:27,673
chasing this mysterious mud
through the house.
842
00:49:28,674 --> 00:49:33,095
Even as servants tried to clean it,
more spots appeared, as if from a phantom.
843
00:49:34,012 --> 00:49:35,931
As I reached the end of my rope,
844
00:49:35,931 --> 00:49:39,851
I finally looked down to discover
the phantom was, in fact,
845
00:49:40,560 --> 00:49:41,395
me.
846
00:49:41,395 --> 00:49:42,396
[chuckles]
847
00:49:42,980 --> 00:49:45,607
Chasing the mud with my own boots.
848
00:49:46,149 --> 00:49:47,859
[gentle music playing]
849
00:49:47,859 --> 00:49:51,947
All that to say, sometimes I miss
what is right in front of me.
850
00:49:52,990 --> 00:49:54,241
But not Miss Francesca.
851
00:49:57,160 --> 00:50:00,122
Her... I saw straightaway.
852
00:50:03,208 --> 00:50:07,170
You are right.
This is quite a story, after all.
853
00:50:07,170 --> 00:50:08,839
- [woman] Mr. Bridgerton.
- Here.
854
00:50:08,839 --> 00:50:09,881
[Colin] Very good.
855
00:50:09,881 --> 00:50:10,799
[Violet] Hm.
856
00:50:10,799 --> 00:50:12,259
[Lord Kilmartin] Thank you.
857
00:50:12,968 --> 00:50:16,013
"My first is nothing but a name.
My second's still more small."
858
00:50:16,013 --> 00:50:19,057
"My whole of so much smaller fame,
it has no name at all."
859
00:50:19,057 --> 00:50:21,059
[guests exclaiming]
860
00:50:22,310 --> 00:50:24,646
How about... "nameless"?
861
00:50:24,646 --> 00:50:26,481
Aw... Well, yes.
862
00:50:26,481 --> 00:50:29,109
Something Lady Whistledown
will not be for much longer.
863
00:50:29,109 --> 00:50:30,944
[guests chuckling]
864
00:50:33,238 --> 00:50:36,199
- The queen has made sure of that.
- Well, I think she is--
865
00:50:36,199 --> 00:50:38,910
Who'd pursue a matter as trivial
as Whistledown's identity?
866
00:50:38,910 --> 00:50:40,454
It all feels... vulgar.
867
00:50:40,454 --> 00:50:42,581
I would argue
Whistledown is the vulgar one.
868
00:50:42,581 --> 00:50:44,750
Though the ton can do
with a little vulgarity.
869
00:50:44,750 --> 00:50:46,251
What I was trying to say--
870
00:50:46,251 --> 00:50:48,503
If she is unmasked,
it will spell ruin for her family.
871
00:50:48,503 --> 00:50:50,380
And certainly any hope of marriage.
872
00:50:50,380 --> 00:50:52,424
[tense music playing]
873
00:50:54,718 --> 00:50:56,887
[breathing shakily]
874
00:50:56,887 --> 00:50:59,389
[clock ticking]
875
00:50:59,389 --> 00:51:01,391
[tense music builds]
876
00:51:01,391 --> 00:51:02,476
Excuse me.
877
00:51:07,355 --> 00:51:08,523
[music fades out]
878
00:51:09,107 --> 00:51:10,609
We should tell them tonight.
879
00:51:11,234 --> 00:51:12,861
I thought you wanted to wait.
880
00:51:12,861 --> 00:51:13,987
You and I...
881
00:51:15,947 --> 00:51:18,200
we are at our happiest in this moment.
882
00:51:18,909 --> 00:51:23,080
And if I am honest, I have wished for it
to just be the two of us a little longer.
883
00:51:24,081 --> 00:51:28,835
It is a great change, but you and I
will make our way with our child
884
00:51:28,835 --> 00:51:31,046
the way we have
always done with each other.
885
00:51:31,046 --> 00:51:33,131
[stirring music builds slowly]
886
00:51:45,602 --> 00:51:46,937
[breathing heavily]
887
00:51:46,937 --> 00:51:50,941
Such reward is not enough to entice
Lady Whistledown to come forward.
888
00:51:50,941 --> 00:51:54,402
[Lady Featherington] Indeed, many would
commit wilder acts for such a sum.
889
00:51:54,402 --> 00:51:57,989
[Alice] We saw three young ladies
chasing after delivery boys this morning
890
00:51:57,989 --> 00:51:59,324
to seek her identity.
891
00:51:59,324 --> 00:52:00,325
[gasping]
892
00:52:00,325 --> 00:52:02,619
[Will] Surely she would
hate to be unmasked.
893
00:52:03,954 --> 00:52:07,415
Perhaps she would love to be unmasked.
The power, the infamy,
894
00:52:07,415 --> 00:52:09,543
freedom to do whatever she wants.
895
00:52:09,543 --> 00:52:11,169
Not to mention the money.
896
00:52:11,169 --> 00:52:12,212
[men chuckling]
897
00:52:14,840 --> 00:52:18,051
And then, of course, there's the fact
that she would not have to marry.
898
00:52:19,469 --> 00:52:21,221
That is a good point.
899
00:52:21,221 --> 00:52:24,224
She may see herself
living a finer life than any of us.
900
00:52:24,933 --> 00:52:28,854
[Alice] But can you imagine
living with that secret all this time?
901
00:52:28,854 --> 00:52:30,647
It must burn away at her.
902
00:52:34,484 --> 00:52:36,987
[Lady Featherington] Terrible,
living a double life like that.
903
00:52:36,987 --> 00:52:39,698
[Will] I could not keep that secret
for more than an hour.
904
00:52:39,698 --> 00:52:41,241
[Marcus] Nor I, surely.
905
00:52:43,076 --> 00:52:44,870
[clock ticking]
906
00:52:53,378 --> 00:52:55,547
Pen. Where did you run off to?
I was looking for you.
907
00:52:55,547 --> 00:52:57,591
I... I only needed a moment.
908
00:52:58,133 --> 00:52:59,968
I know something is bothering you.
909
00:53:00,802 --> 00:53:04,014
I can feel it. All evening,
you have been shirking my gaze.
910
00:53:04,014 --> 00:53:05,599
[clock ticking, clanks]
911
00:53:05,599 --> 00:53:06,850
No, Colin...
912
00:53:06,850 --> 00:53:10,145
I would understand
if you got swept up in the carriage.
913
00:53:10,812 --> 00:53:13,398
If you do not now share my feelings.
914
00:53:13,398 --> 00:53:16,359
Colin... I need to tell you something.
915
00:53:16,359 --> 00:53:18,945
Pen. Pen. Are you well?
916
00:53:18,945 --> 00:53:21,489
- [Penelope gasping]
- Colin. I need to tell--
917
00:53:21,489 --> 00:53:23,783
Eloise, please have a servant
fetch a cool towel.
918
00:53:25,660 --> 00:53:27,787
- Pen.
- [Anthony] Mother, Lady Danbury.
919
00:53:27,787 --> 00:53:29,456
We have some news.
920
00:53:34,002 --> 00:53:35,837
- We are expecting.
- [Lady Danbury gasps]
921
00:53:35,837 --> 00:53:39,257
[laughing] Oh! That is the best news!
922
00:53:39,257 --> 00:53:40,884
[exclaiming]
923
00:53:40,884 --> 00:53:43,511
Let us tell the family.
They will be so delighted.
924
00:53:45,555 --> 00:53:46,681
[exhales]
925
00:53:47,933 --> 00:53:49,226
Excuse us, everyone.
926
00:53:49,809 --> 00:53:51,519
I have an announcement.
927
00:53:52,646 --> 00:53:54,856
It is time
that I put an end to the speculation.
928
00:53:56,399 --> 00:53:58,610
You would like to know
who Lady Whistledown is?
929
00:53:59,319 --> 00:54:00,320
You shall know.
930
00:54:04,407 --> 00:54:05,450
I am she.
931
00:54:05,450 --> 00:54:07,911
[guests exclaiming quietly]
932
00:54:10,997 --> 00:54:13,541
Miss Cowper, surely you jest.
933
00:54:13,541 --> 00:54:14,751
I jest not.
934
00:54:15,502 --> 00:54:18,338
I am Lady Whistledown. And you are right.
935
00:54:18,338 --> 00:54:21,049
I can do whatever I want.
936
00:54:21,049 --> 00:54:23,843
[stirring music continues]
937
00:54:28,223 --> 00:54:30,600
Colin... I cannot breathe.
938
00:54:30,600 --> 00:54:33,144
[gasping for air]
939
00:54:34,354 --> 00:54:36,815
- [guests exclaiming]
- [Violet] Miss Wilson!
940
00:54:38,149 --> 00:54:39,859
[frenetic music playing]
941
00:54:39,859 --> 00:54:41,194
[Anthony] Get some water.
942
00:54:42,237 --> 00:54:43,613
[Eloise] Give her some air.
943
00:54:44,155 --> 00:54:45,240
[Colin] Pen!
944
00:54:45,240 --> 00:54:47,325
[indistinct chattering]
945
00:54:48,743 --> 00:54:50,078
[music peaks and fades]
946
00:54:53,206 --> 00:54:55,125
[theme music playing]
947
00:56:20,794 --> 00:56:21,711
[music ends]
