Энтони начинает искать себе жену и сразу становится одним из самых завидных холостяков нового светского сезона. Он встречается с несколькими подходящими девушками, но пока не видит перспектив. Элоиза собирается дебютировать на открывающем сезон приёме, но её представление королеве прерывается из-за возвращения скандальных заметок леди Уислдаун. Во время утренней конной прогулки Энтони встречает девушку, которую, как он позже узнаёт, зовут мисс Кейт Шарма. Леди Данбери берёт на себе расходы индийской семьи Шарма на новый сезон, а Кейт и её мачеха леди Мэри стремятся найти мужа для младшей из дочерей, Эдвины. Та мечтает о браке по любви, но не знает, что её дед и бабушка заключили с Кейт договор: они обеспечат Эдвину приданым, если она выйдет замуж за благородного англичанина. На балу Кейт подслушивает, как Энтони в разговоре с другими джентльменами заявляет, что для него имеет значение только список качеств будущей жены, но любви он не ищет. Королева называет Эдвину новым бриллиантом сезона, и Энтони решает начать ухаживать именно за ней. Пенелопе становится всё труднее вести двойную жизнь, так как Элоиза вышла в свет и постоянно находится рядом с подругой. Тем временем Порша Фезерингтон пытается разобраться с финансовым состоянием семьи после смерти мужа, а новый лорд Джек Фезерингтон прибывает в Лондон.

- 00:45.462 --> 00:47.255 Думаю, нужно…
- 00:48.298 --> 00:49.299 Грегори, ты…
- 00:51.676 --> 00:53.261 Пусть она сама выйдет.
- 00:53.344 --> 00:55.472 - Таков план? - Слава богу, ты здесь.
- 00:55.555 --> 00:58.183 - Ей нужно время. - У нас его нет. Отойдите.
- 00:58.266 --> 01:00.935 Без обид, но тебя она точно не захочет видеть.
- 01:01.019 --> 01:03.063 - Что это значит? - Она точно там?
- 01:03.146 --> 01:05.190 - Конечно. - Где еще ей быть?
- 01:05.273 --> 01:07.901 - Вылезла в окно? - Тише, вдруг услышит.
- 01:07.984 --> 01:09.944 Я приехала, оставив мужа и ребенка.
- 01:10.028 --> 01:12.363 Я предупреждал. Мы опоздаем к королеве.
- 01:12.447 --> 01:13.364 Я что-то слышу.
- 01:17.077 --> 01:18.078 Энтони.
- 01:32.592 --> 01:34.677 Если вы хоть слово скажете…
- 01:37.430 --> 01:38.765 Покончим с этим.
- 01:45.563 --> 01:49.067 Я мечтаю, что кто-то новый, неожиданный, перевернет
- 01:49.150 --> 01:51.194 этот сезон с ног на голову.
- 01:51.277 --> 01:55.031 Это то, что нам нужно. Здесь нет места посредственности.
- 01:55.115 --> 01:57.826 Монархия не терпит тлетворного влияния апатии.
- 01:57.909 --> 01:59.869 Конечно, Ваше Величество.
- 01:59.953 --> 02:02.205 Но молодой леди не стать бриллиантом,
- 02:02.288 --> 02:04.666 пока вы не удостоите ее этой чести.
- 02:04.749 --> 02:08.795 Если сегодня по какой-то причине вы не увидите ее среди кандидаток…
- 02:08.878 --> 02:10.296 Думаете, она вернется?
- 02:10.380 --> 02:12.924 От леди Уислдаун не было ни словечка
- 02:13.007 --> 02:14.676 с окончания прошлого сезона.
- 02:15.677 --> 02:17.428 Возможно, разум возобладал.
- 02:18.054 --> 02:21.724 Возможно, она поняла, что не стоило тягаться с королевой.
- 02:21.808 --> 02:23.351 И больше не станет писать.
- 02:23.434 --> 02:25.728 Убедительная теория, мэм.
- 02:25.812 --> 02:26.646 Или
- 02:27.272 --> 02:31.234 она всего лишь уехала за город, как и все мы по окончании сезона,
- 02:31.317 --> 02:33.653 затосковав в отсутствие реальных слухов.
- 02:37.240 --> 02:39.075 Знаете, кто она в таком случае?
- 02:42.537 --> 02:43.621 Одна из нас.
- 02:46.499 --> 02:48.835 Мама, неужели нельзя попросить королеву?
- 02:48.918 --> 02:51.462 Мы так долго были в трауре по дорогому отцу.
- 02:51.546 --> 02:55.216 Может, она позволит нам снова быть представленными ко двору.
- 02:55.300 --> 02:57.135 Для меня в этом нет смысла.
- 02:57.218 --> 02:59.637 Ведь я уже помолвлена с мистером Финчем.
- 02:59.721 --> 03:01.848 Мистер Финч вполне может передумать.
- 03:01.931 --> 03:04.767 Особенно когда заметит, что приданного так и нет.
- 03:04.851 --> 03:07.687 Тише! Новый лорд Фэзерингтон позаботится об этом,
- 03:08.229 --> 03:10.356 когда скряга наконец посетит нас.
- 03:15.111 --> 03:16.863 Сохраняй спокойствие.
- 03:16.946 --> 03:19.199 И контролируй эмоции.
- 03:19.699 --> 03:22.827 Ее Величество не приветствует любой намек на истерику.
- 03:23.411 --> 03:27.248 Сдержанная улыбка лучше всего выражает открытость и дружелюбие,
- 03:27.332 --> 03:29.042 и без излишнего рвения.
- 03:29.709 --> 03:30.710 Улыбнись-ка.
- 03:32.295 --> 03:33.129 Нет.
- 03:33.213 --> 03:34.464 Да она вся взмокла.
- 03:34.547 --> 03:37.217 - Позволь-ка. - А еще реверанс, милочка.
- 03:37.300 --> 03:39.636 Поделись с сестрой секретом равновесия.
- 03:39.719 --> 03:42.847 Найди неподвижный объект и смотри только на него.
- 03:43.473 --> 03:45.934 Например, картину. Мы же тренировались.
- 03:46.726 --> 03:47.852 Несколько раз.
- 03:49.604 --> 03:53.316 - У тебя врожденный талант… - Оставь свои наставления! Дай сюда!
- 03:55.985 --> 03:56.819 В этом сезоне
- 03:56.903 --> 03:58.321 у меня несложная задача.
- 03:58.404 --> 04:00.490 Гастингс справился. Пара пустяков.
- 04:00.573 --> 04:03.576 - Прочувствованная речь. - Чувства мне ни к чему.
- 04:03.660 --> 04:06.162 Я найду ту, что мне нужна. Вот ее качества.
- 04:06.246 --> 04:09.624 Сносная, добропорядочная, с широким тазом для легких родов
- 04:09.707 --> 04:10.917 и капелькой мозгов.
- 04:11.542 --> 04:14.796 Последний пункт желателен, но вовсе необязателен.
- 04:16.673 --> 04:18.216 <i>Мисс Корделия</i>
- 04:18.299 --> 04:19.259 Патридж.
- 04:20.385 --> 04:23.304 Леди Эбигейл Эванс.
- 04:23.388 --> 04:26.557 Мисс Мэри-Энн Халливелл.
- 04:26.641 --> 04:28.893 Мисс Маргарет Горинг.
- 04:33.648 --> 04:34.774 Еще не поздно.
- 04:35.275 --> 04:36.901 Скажешь, я упала в обморок.
- 04:36.985 --> 04:38.820 Запачкала платье.
- 04:38.903 --> 04:40.989 Или перья повлияли на мой рассудок.
- 04:41.072 --> 04:44.575 - Что угодно, лишь бы избежать этого. - Моя дорогая девочка.
- 04:44.659 --> 04:47.704 Что бы ни случилось, для меня ты всегда бриллиант.
- 04:49.497 --> 04:50.957 Была бы здесь Пенелопа.
- 04:52.041 --> 04:56.462 Пенелопа! Сколько раз повторять? Будь осторожнее с окном!
- 04:56.546 --> 05:00.091 Тебе нужны веснушки, как у попрошайки, торчащей на солнце?
- 05:00.925 --> 05:01.926 Нет, мама.
- 05:02.010 --> 05:03.386 Прости меня.
- 05:08.850 --> 05:11.561 Вдовствующая виконтесса Бриджертон.
- 05:12.061 --> 05:14.188 И мисс Элоиза Бриджертон.
- 05:23.990 --> 05:24.907 Он здесь.
- 05:29.746 --> 05:31.039 Улыбнись.
- 05:40.631 --> 05:42.050 Что это значит?
- 05:42.133 --> 05:43.718 ФЕЛЬЕТОН ЛЕДИ УИСЛДАУН
- 05:49.223 --> 05:50.099 Довольно.
- 05:50.683 --> 05:53.353 - Ваше Величество, еще… - Довольно!
- 05:55.355 --> 05:56.647 Я могу идти?
- 05:56.731 --> 05:58.483 Я не знаю.
- 06:00.360 --> 06:01.319 Элоиза!
- 06:17.168 --> 06:20.088 Не могу сказать, что буду по этому скучать.
- 06:21.130 --> 06:22.632 Удачи тебе, братец.
- 06:23.674 --> 06:25.885 В этом сезоне она тебе понадобится.
- 06:29.347 --> 06:31.808 <i>Дражайший читатель,</i>
- 06:33.393 --> 06:34.894 <i>соскучились по мне?</i>
- 07:42.462 --> 07:48.176 <i>В то время как уважаемое общество</i> <i>придавалось отдыху на лоне природы,</i>
- 07:48.259 --> 07:51.345 <i>автор этих строк посвятила себя делу.</i>
- 07:52.221 --> 07:53.973 Я верила, что она вернется!
- 07:54.056 --> 07:56.017 <i>Я оттачивала мастерство.</i>
- 07:56.100 --> 07:57.560 Еще и цену подняла.
- 07:57.643 --> 08:01.147 <i>Или будет точнее сказать,</i> <i>что я вынашивала планы?</i>
- 08:01.814 --> 08:04.233 Неужели она и правда так хорошо пишет?
- 08:05.276 --> 08:07.487 <i>Нет, еще лучше.</i>
- 08:08.446 --> 08:11.616 <i>Я точила зуб</i>
- 08:12.909 --> 08:14.494 <i>на всех вас.</i>
- 08:16.579 --> 08:18.080 Как ей это удалось?
- 08:18.748 --> 08:21.292 Не без посторонней помощи. Как же иначе?
- 08:21.375 --> 08:22.210 Ну…
- 08:40.811 --> 08:41.646 <i>Восемнадцать?</i>
- 08:41.729 --> 08:43.564 Уговор был на 20.
- 08:43.648 --> 08:45.024 Госпожа передумала.
- 08:46.567 --> 08:49.612 Вы ее не знаете. Так что повторяю один раз.
- 08:50.446 --> 08:52.657 Госпожа получает всё, что захочет.
- 08:53.324 --> 08:55.368 По какой-то причине сейчас это вы.
- 08:56.202 --> 08:58.704 Это не делает вас особенным, мистер Харрис.
- 08:58.788 --> 09:00.456 В городе полно печатников.
- 09:00.998 --> 09:02.583 А леди Уислдаун - одна.
- 09:02.667 --> 09:05.002 Она легко может сменить типографию.
- 09:05.545 --> 09:06.379 Даю 18.
- 09:06.879 --> 09:07.922 Ни пенни больше.
- 09:08.673 --> 09:10.716 И повысьте жалованье разносчиков.
- 09:11.217 --> 09:14.220 Они бегают по городу, пока вы здесь зад плющите.
- 09:14.804 --> 09:16.013 Хорошо, мэм.
- 09:16.097 --> 09:17.640 Госпожа отблагодарит вас.
- 09:19.058 --> 09:20.560 <i>Всех интересует</i>
- 09:20.643 --> 09:24.313 <i>личность автора этих строк</i> <i>и источник ее средств.</i>
- 09:24.397 --> 09:29.068 <i>Но поиски ответов на эти вопросы</i> <i>окажутся бесполезны.</i>
- 09:31.320 --> 09:33.322 Мама, я на рынок, с камеристкой.
- 09:33.406 --> 09:35.491 У меня осталось немного карманных…
- 09:36.867 --> 09:40.621 <i>Есть еще одна неизвестная личность.</i>
- 09:41.122 --> 09:44.208 <i>Но это ненадолго. Скоро вы ее узнаете.</i>
- 09:44.292 --> 09:48.879 <i>Я о бриллианте этого сезона,</i> <i>кем бы она ни оказалась.</i>
- 09:48.963 --> 09:51.882 <i>Ваш ход, Ваше Величество.</i>
- 10:05.187 --> 10:07.189 Раз и два.
- 10:09.775 --> 10:10.985 Не блистает.
- 10:11.068 --> 10:13.029 - Она тебя слышит. - Я тебя слышу.
- 10:15.406 --> 10:16.866 - Аккуратнее! - Закончим?
- 10:16.949 --> 10:20.995 Чтобы королева выделила тебя после инцидента, нужно быть идеальной.
- 10:21.078 --> 10:23.414 Тот инцидент как раз и был идеален.
- 10:23.497 --> 10:27.084 Элоиза Бриджертон не стала бриллиантом сезона. Шокирует, да?
- 10:27.168 --> 10:29.837 Кто-то еще в курсе, что Колин включил Албанию
- 10:29.920 --> 10:32.173 в маршрут своих странствий по миру?
- 10:32.256 --> 10:35.384 Хоть он может сам распоряжаться своей жизнью.
- 10:35.468 --> 10:36.927 Выпьешь чаю, Энтони?
- 10:37.428 --> 10:40.431 Простите, я должен идти. Сегодня очень много дел.
- 10:41.432 --> 10:42.725 С началом сезона
- 10:42.808 --> 10:46.896 нужно пополнить ваши счета у модистки и проследить за наймом прислуги.
- 10:46.979 --> 10:48.856 И мне понадобится твое кольцо.
- 10:48.939 --> 10:51.609 Поля в Феррихаллоу. В этом году воздержимся
- 10:51.692 --> 10:53.319 от аренды из-за морозов.
- 10:53.402 --> 10:54.320 Прости?
- 10:54.820 --> 10:56.864 От морозов почва твердеет, скудеет.
- 10:56.947 --> 10:59.450 Прекрасно. Но при чём тут мое кольцо?
- 10:59.533 --> 11:00.826 Обручальное кольцо отца.
- 11:00.910 --> 11:03.954 Заинтересовался кем-то на церемонии, братец?
- 11:04.038 --> 11:05.915 Все настоящие красавицы.
- 11:05.998 --> 11:08.626 Не особенно. Все абсолютно одинаковые.
- 11:08.709 --> 11:11.712 Я хочу быть готовым, когда представится возможность.
- 11:11.796 --> 11:12.630 Возможность?
- 11:12.713 --> 11:15.966 Я составил список достойных девушек и назначил собеседования.
- 11:16.050 --> 11:17.051 Собеседования?
- 11:19.553 --> 11:23.099 Дорогой, я с радостью дам тебе кольцо, когда ты найдешь ту,
- 11:23.182 --> 11:25.184 в кого ты по-настоящему влюбишься.
- 11:25.267 --> 11:27.728 А сейчас оно на хранении в Обри-холле.
- 11:27.812 --> 11:30.064 - Хорошо. - Присмотри за ним.
- 11:30.147 --> 11:30.981 Я?
- 11:31.065 --> 11:32.274 Мне нянька не нужна.
- 11:33.192 --> 11:35.736 Уверяю вас, всё под контролем.
- 11:49.709 --> 11:51.377 Вы мечтаете о материнстве?
- 11:51.460 --> 11:54.672 Конечно. Я очень близка со своими братьями и сестрами.
- 11:54.755 --> 11:56.132 Я люблю детей.
- 11:56.215 --> 11:57.800 Скольких планируете?
- 11:58.467 --> 11:59.301 Детей?
- 11:59.969 --> 12:03.514 Четыре. Или пять. Нет. Может, шесть.
- 12:03.597 --> 12:05.975 Я всегда мечтала о трех, милорд.
- 12:06.058 --> 12:08.102 А если ваша дочь будет мотовкой?
- 12:08.185 --> 12:09.395 Как поступите?
- 12:15.359 --> 12:17.987 Элоиза вышла в свет, нужна новая камеристка.
- 12:18.487 --> 12:20.990 Еще строже, чем бывшая.
- 12:22.408 --> 12:23.325 Что это?
- 12:23.409 --> 12:26.454 Счета на подпись, милорд.
- 12:27.621 --> 12:29.832 Арфа - чудесный инструмент, милорд.
- 12:29.915 --> 12:32.710 Игра на ней развивает силу и терпение,
- 12:32.793 --> 12:35.296 учит ценить красоту.
- 12:35.379 --> 12:36.297 Разумеется.
- 12:37.298 --> 12:38.257 Вы читаете?
- 12:38.966 --> 12:40.092 Книги?
- 12:40.176 --> 12:42.052 МИСС ГОРИНГ
- 12:59.820 --> 13:03.157 Я свободно владею французским, итальянским и латынью.
- 13:03.908 --> 13:05.034 А греческий?
- 13:08.120 --> 13:11.123 Простите, милорд. Я предпочитаю кадриль.
- 13:12.541 --> 13:14.084 Лошади. Живопись.
- 13:14.168 --> 13:16.378 Пение. Танцы.
- 13:16.462 --> 13:18.881 Еще я умею делить и умножать.
- 13:18.964 --> 13:21.133 И сама мастерю себе шляпки.
- 13:23.886 --> 13:25.221 МИСС ХОЛЛВЕЛЛ МИСС ИТОН
- 13:25.304 --> 13:27.640 МИСС КЛИФТОН УЖАСНО ТАНЦУЕТ
- 13:34.396 --> 13:35.856 ПОИМУЩЕСТВЕННЫЙ НАЛОГ
- 13:43.364 --> 13:45.449 Еще 25, милорд.
- 14:15.229 --> 14:16.063 Тпру!
- 14:16.146 --> 14:18.148 Мисс, вам помочь?
- 14:19.275 --> 14:20.109 Пошла!
- 14:41.797 --> 14:42.631 Пошла!
- 14:57.980 --> 14:59.273 Осторожно!
- 15:00.941 --> 15:02.026 Тпру!
- 15:28.677 --> 15:29.720 Торжествуете?
- 15:30.304 --> 15:31.221 Да чтоб меня.
- 15:31.305 --> 15:34.016 Уверяю, на этот раз я вам такую фору не дам.
- 15:34.892 --> 15:36.018 Простите, сэр.
- 15:36.727 --> 15:38.646 Мне жаль, что я вас потревожила.
- 15:39.146 --> 15:41.315 Камеристка знает, что вы ездите по-мужски?
- 15:41.398 --> 15:43.400 - У меня ее нет. - Так вы замужем.
- 15:46.028 --> 15:46.946 Простите.
- 15:48.155 --> 15:49.031 Вы заплутали.
- 15:49.114 --> 15:51.325 Вовсе нет. Я возвращаюсь в Мейфэр.
- 15:51.408 --> 15:53.118 - Он в той стороне. - Мейфэр?
- 15:54.745 --> 15:55.579 Что ж…
- 15:55.663 --> 15:58.248 Благодарю за заботу, сэр. Но не стоит.
- 15:58.332 --> 16:00.626 Притворимся, что этой встречи не было?
- 16:00.709 --> 16:02.836 Каждый поедет своим путем.
- 16:04.088 --> 16:05.381 Вы против огласки?
- 16:05.464 --> 16:08.258 Я против встреч на заре в парке с незнакомцами,
- 16:08.342 --> 16:10.260 донимающими расспросами.
- 16:10.344 --> 16:12.346 Не волнуйтесь. Я никому не скажу.
- 16:12.429 --> 16:13.681 Премного благодарна.
- 16:13.764 --> 16:16.892 Проиграть скачки незнакомке в парке на заре.
- 16:18.143 --> 16:20.145 Меня бы засыпали вопросами.
- 16:22.314 --> 16:23.774 Так вот в чём дело?
- 16:24.733 --> 16:26.151 - Скачки? - Разве нет?
- 16:26.652 --> 16:28.946 В этих скачках я не увидела соперника.
- 16:29.029 --> 16:32.533 Нужно было условиться о финише. Увы, мы этого не сделали.
- 16:33.200 --> 16:34.827 Вы не привыкли проигрывать.
- 16:35.411 --> 16:36.620 Я бы с вами…
- 16:39.331 --> 16:41.792 Это случается крайне редко.
- 16:41.875 --> 16:44.712 И я умею признавать проигрыш или неправоту.
- 16:44.795 --> 16:46.505 А вот о вас этого не скажешь.
- 16:46.588 --> 16:48.340 - Простите? - Мейфэр не там.
- 16:48.882 --> 16:49.842 Он там.
- 16:51.969 --> 16:53.637 Говорите, вы не заплутали?
- 16:57.099 --> 16:58.392 Доброго вам дня, сэр.
- 16:58.976 --> 16:59.977 Пошла.
- 17:01.687 --> 17:04.606 - Но мы не представились. - Боюсь, это невозможно.
- 17:04.690 --> 17:06.650 Наслажусь триумфом в одиночестве.
- 17:19.705 --> 17:21.540 Что значит, она не у себя?
- 17:22.291 --> 17:25.169 Утром я пошла к ней, но не застала ее.
- 17:28.213 --> 17:29.923 Леди Мэри.
- 17:31.675 --> 17:32.676 Леди Данбери.
- 17:33.802 --> 17:35.763 Как же я рада вас видеть.
- 17:35.846 --> 17:36.722 Взаимно.
- 17:37.514 --> 17:40.059 Столько лет прошло.
- 17:41.143 --> 17:42.436 Прекрасно выглядите.
- 17:43.228 --> 17:46.106 Позвольте представить. Моя младшая дочь,
- 17:46.190 --> 17:47.483 мисс Эдвина Шарма.
- 17:48.317 --> 17:50.319 Для меня это честь, леди Данбери.
- 17:50.402 --> 17:52.404 Благодарю вас за гостеприимство.
- 17:53.030 --> 17:55.991 У вас великолепный дом.
- 17:56.075 --> 17:57.785 На этот сезон он ваш.
- 17:58.535 --> 18:01.538 Я ожидала увидеть кое-кого еще.
- 18:01.622 --> 18:03.707 Да, мою старшую дочь.
- 18:03.791 --> 18:04.708 Кейт.
- 18:04.792 --> 18:06.251 Кейт. Да.
- 18:07.586 --> 18:10.672 Она вчера сошла вместе с вами с корабля, верно?
- 18:11.256 --> 18:12.841 - Прошу прощения. - Кейт!
- 18:12.925 --> 18:15.677 - Наконец-то. - Надеюсь, я не заставила себя ждать.
- 18:15.761 --> 18:18.097 Здесь такой чудесный сад.
- 18:18.180 --> 18:20.057 После долгого путешествия
- 18:20.140 --> 18:23.185 мне захотелось подышать свежим воздухом. Но…
- 18:23.894 --> 18:25.395 Но теперь я здесь.
- 18:25.479 --> 18:28.732 Леди Данбери, моя старшая дочь. Мисс Кейт Шарма.
- 18:30.234 --> 18:32.236 Теперь, когда мы все в сборе…
- 18:32.319 --> 18:33.320 Почти.
- 18:33.403 --> 18:34.696 Прошу прощения?
- 18:34.780 --> 18:37.783 Почти все в сборе. Есть еще Ньютон.
- 18:38.367 --> 18:39.618 Он еще наверху?
- 18:45.332 --> 18:46.959 Леди Данбери, мама говорит,
- 18:47.042 --> 18:49.253 вы всегда устраиваете первый бал.
- 18:49.336 --> 18:54.007 Да. В этом году я арендовала для этого консерваторию.
- 18:54.633 --> 18:55.968 Ты слышишь, Эдвина?
- 18:56.760 --> 18:58.512 Прекрасная новость.
- 18:58.595 --> 19:02.516 Отличный повод для первого появления в обществе.
- 19:02.599 --> 19:06.061 Вы не представляете, как молодые леди ждут начало сезона.
- 19:06.145 --> 19:07.479 Как и я.
- 19:07.563 --> 19:11.191 Я бы устроила так, чтобы их представили Ее Величеству.
- 19:11.275 --> 19:14.736 Но я предпочла сначала самой оценить их манеры
- 19:14.820 --> 19:16.738 до первого выхода в свет.
- 19:16.822 --> 19:20.200 Ее Величество очень щепетильна в этом вопросе.
- 19:20.784 --> 19:24.204 Королева будет присутствовать на балу?
- 19:24.288 --> 19:26.874 Не беспокойтесь, леди Мэри.
- 19:26.957 --> 19:29.293 Ведь вы мои гости.
- 19:30.210 --> 19:31.086 Конечно.
- 19:31.170 --> 19:33.547 Я всё устроила.
- 19:33.630 --> 19:36.216 Фортепьяно настроено, учитель нанят.
- 19:36.300 --> 19:37.843 В полдень уроки танцев.
- 19:37.926 --> 19:39.928 Затем краткий, но емкий визит
- 19:40.012 --> 19:42.389 милейшего учителя французского.
- 19:43.140 --> 19:45.058 Что ж, вставайте.
- 19:45.851 --> 19:47.311 Обе. Могли бы вы?..
- 19:56.236 --> 19:58.614 Восхитительная осанка.
- 19:59.114 --> 20:00.824 Красивые улыбки.
- 20:00.908 --> 20:02.534 Да, они милы.
- 20:02.618 --> 20:05.579 Возраст старшей может оказаться проблемой.
- 20:05.662 --> 20:08.874 Любого мало-мальски годного кавалера придется убеждать,
- 20:08.957 --> 20:10.792 нравится нам это или нет.
- 20:10.876 --> 20:15.130 Ведь она уже перешла в категорию старых дев, достигнув возраста…
- 20:15.214 --> 20:16.673 Мне 26, мэм.
- 20:16.757 --> 20:19.551 Но это вовсе не проблема, уверяю вас.
- 20:19.635 --> 20:22.012 Я здесь не за тем, чтобы найти мужа себе.
- 20:22.095 --> 20:24.848 Речь о моей сестре, обладающей отличной осанкой
- 20:24.932 --> 20:26.975 и милой улыбкой.
- 20:27.059 --> 20:29.686 Особенно, когда говорит по-французски.
- 20:36.318 --> 20:38.612 Она владеет латынью и греческим.
- 20:38.695 --> 20:40.948 А также маратхи и хиндустани.
- 20:41.031 --> 20:44.576 Она играет не только на ситаре и мурали, но и на фортепьяно.
- 20:45.160 --> 20:46.662 Что касается танцев…
- 20:47.162 --> 20:49.998 Осмелюсь сказать, что у нее отличные способности.
- 20:50.082 --> 20:50.999 Уж я-то знаю,
- 20:51.083 --> 20:55.879 ведь именно я учила ее котильону, кадрили и вальсу.
- 20:55.963 --> 20:59.132 Мы самоучки, но это не умаляет ее успехов.
- 21:00.384 --> 21:04.221 Кейт полна надежд в отношении перспектив ее сестры в этом сезоне.
- 21:04.304 --> 21:07.849 Мне жаль, что вы потратили время на поиски преподавателей.
- 21:07.933 --> 21:09.142 Не страшно.
- 21:09.226 --> 21:11.603 Мама очень точно вас описала.
- 21:11.687 --> 21:14.481 Вы невероятно добры и любезны.
- 21:14.564 --> 21:16.733 Уверена, мы многому у вас научимся.
- 21:16.817 --> 21:20.529 Например, приготовлению этого восхитительного чая.
- 21:23.407 --> 21:26.326 Кейт, дорогая. Думаю, Ньютон нуждается в прогулке,
- 21:26.410 --> 21:30.247 пока он не набезобразничал на этих великолепных коврах.
- 21:30.330 --> 21:33.792 Конечно. Была рада познакомиться с вами, леди Данбери.
- 21:33.875 --> 21:37.254 Мы с сестрой рассчитываем на вашу поддержку в этом сезоне.
- 21:40.757 --> 21:43.719 Дафна дала мне список рекомендаций
- 21:43.802 --> 21:45.345 для удачного сезона.
- 21:45.429 --> 21:48.765 Десять верных способов заполучить мужчину.
- 21:48.849 --> 21:52.436 Говорю тебе, сезон только начался, а я уже немного не в себе.
- 21:54.021 --> 21:57.649 Опять перо? У тебя они летят с невероятной скоростью.
- 21:57.733 --> 22:01.153 Я веду оживленную переписку.
- 22:01.236 --> 22:03.363 - С наследником? Он уже здесь? - Нет.
- 22:04.489 --> 22:08.452 Я про Колина. Он пишет мне о своих приключениях в Греции.
- 22:08.535 --> 22:10.871 Я забросила его письма. Один сумбур.
- 22:10.954 --> 22:13.373 - До леди Уислдаун ему далеко. - О да.
- 22:14.207 --> 22:17.294 С другой стороны, Колин, в отличие от нее, видел мир.
- 22:17.919 --> 22:19.421 Она тебе не по вкусу?
- 22:19.504 --> 22:22.299 Ее фельетон спас тебя от представления королеве.
- 22:22.382 --> 22:24.426 Это оказалось очень кстати.
- 22:24.509 --> 22:26.762 Я просидела с ее фельетоном всё утро.
- 22:26.845 --> 22:29.348 Знаешь, она лишь повторяет то, что слышала.
- 22:29.431 --> 22:32.184 Кто-то должен это делать. Признай, у нее талант.
- 22:32.267 --> 22:33.810 Но на что она его расходует?
- 22:34.811 --> 22:37.647 Я даже рада ее молчанию последние десять месяцев.
- 22:37.731 --> 22:40.275 Я успела прочитать несколько дельных статей.
- 22:41.401 --> 22:43.362 «Надеюсь, женщины простят мне то,
- 22:43.445 --> 22:45.781 что я причисляю их к разумным существам,
- 22:45.864 --> 22:48.241 а не восхищаюсь их великолепной грацией».
- 22:48.325 --> 22:49.201 Уолстонкрафт.
- 22:50.202 --> 22:51.787 Довольно заносчиво.
- 22:51.870 --> 22:53.747 Вот бы Уислдаун так писала.
- 22:53.830 --> 22:57.959 А не перемывала косточки каждой новенькой дебютантке.
- 22:58.043 --> 23:01.838 Так у нас была бы передышка от нудной череды чаепитий и балов.
- 23:01.922 --> 23:05.050 Думаю, Уислдаун пишет о подобных вещах лишь потому,
- 23:05.133 --> 23:07.552 что сама не принимает в них участия.
- 23:08.678 --> 23:10.472 Думаю, у каждого своя версия.
- 23:13.058 --> 23:14.017 <i>Мэм,</i>
- 23:14.101 --> 23:17.104 мне приготовить картофель для леди?
- 23:17.187 --> 23:18.563 Картофель? Опять?
- 23:18.647 --> 23:20.732 Почему мы вечно едим картофель?
- 23:20.816 --> 23:22.526 Потому что сейчас я экономка,
- 23:22.609 --> 23:25.445 камеристка, кухарка и судомойка в одном лице.
- 23:25.529 --> 23:27.155 Неужели все слуги ушли?
- 23:27.239 --> 23:29.616 Я неплохо справляюсь с варкой овощей.
- 23:29.699 --> 23:32.119 Спасибо, миссис Варли. Картофель подойдет.
- 23:32.202 --> 23:35.247 Сезон без новых платьев, без слуг.
- 23:35.330 --> 23:37.707 Ночные горшки тоже сами выносить будем?
- 23:37.791 --> 23:39.459 - Мама, я не смогу. - Тихо.
- 23:40.168 --> 23:44.673 Я же сказала, как только приедет новый лорд Фэзерингтон, всё будет.
- 23:44.756 --> 23:48.260 И где же он? Почему так задерживается?
- 23:48.343 --> 23:51.221 Он хочет заставить нас страдать.
- 23:53.640 --> 23:55.809 Занимается своими делами,
- 23:55.892 --> 23:59.521 наслаждается нашим несчастьем. Он очень жестокий человек.
- 23:59.604 --> 24:03.942 Отослал единственного сына в Америку за неподчинение своей воле.
- 24:04.025 --> 24:07.279 Боюсь думать, куда он пошлет нас, если сочтет нужным.
- 24:07.362 --> 24:08.613 Возможно, в Корнуолл.
- 24:08.697 --> 24:09.781 Корнуолл?
- 24:10.323 --> 24:13.743 Вы сможете навещать нас с мистером Финчем.
- 24:13.827 --> 24:15.579 Денег нет на платья и слуг.
- 24:15.662 --> 24:16.997 Не то что на приданое.
- 24:17.080 --> 24:19.207 Он не даст мне выйти замуж?
- 24:19.291 --> 24:20.459 Конечно же нет.
- 24:20.542 --> 24:23.545 Хоть он и старый скряга, но он джентльмен.
- 24:23.628 --> 24:25.797 И сдержит свое слово.
- 24:25.881 --> 24:30.010 Поэтому нельзя терять времени с поисками женихов.
- 24:30.510 --> 24:32.846 Вы все должны быть посватаны,
- 24:32.929 --> 24:35.724 когда кузен вступит во владение имуществом.
- 24:36.308 --> 24:38.768 Иначе мы окажемся в его власти.
- 24:42.105 --> 24:43.815 Всегда можно продать серебро.
- 24:44.524 --> 24:47.068 За столовый сервиз дадут хорошую цену.
- 25:01.917 --> 25:03.668 Собираешься это надеть?
- 25:04.920 --> 25:06.004 Очень красивое.
- 25:06.505 --> 25:08.298 Нет, это тебе, сестренка.
- 25:08.381 --> 25:11.051 Мы в Лондоне, чтобы найти мужа тебе, не мне.
- 25:11.134 --> 25:14.012 Ну да, а ты просто старая дева.
- 25:14.095 --> 25:18.183 И я с радостью посвящу себя воспитанию многочисленных племянников.
- 25:18.266 --> 25:21.728 Ты же знаешь, я буду их безмерно баловать.
- 25:24.189 --> 25:25.106 Что такое?
- 25:26.942 --> 25:27.776 Я…
- 25:29.694 --> 25:32.030 Надеюсь, я им понравлюсь.
- 25:33.240 --> 25:34.658 Как может быть иначе?
- 25:38.078 --> 25:41.081 Мама ведет себя так, как и всегда, когда нервничает.
- 25:41.706 --> 25:45.544 О ней столько судачили, когда она вышла за папу. Бедняжка!
- 25:45.627 --> 25:48.713 Ты из-за этого переживаешь? Это было очень давно.
- 25:48.797 --> 25:50.382 Вопросы никуда не делись.
- 25:50.882 --> 25:53.593 О нашей семье. О нашей с тобой степени родства.
- 25:54.386 --> 25:55.554 Мы сестры.
- 25:56.221 --> 25:57.847 Мы далеко от дома.
- 25:57.931 --> 26:00.934 Но это не изменит то, как мы друг к другу относимся.
- 26:02.060 --> 26:06.356 Ты же слышала леди Данбери. Она всё устроит.
- 26:06.439 --> 26:07.899 Она на нашей стороне.
- 26:09.192 --> 26:11.903 Она еще величественнее, чем я представляла.
- 26:12.821 --> 26:16.283 Если узнает о твоей утренней прогулке, тебе несдобровать.
- 26:16.992 --> 26:18.743 Тебя точно никто не видел?
- 26:18.827 --> 26:20.245 Да. Не бойся ее.
- 26:20.328 --> 26:23.081 Она не так грозна, как сама себя считает.
- 26:24.749 --> 26:26.376 Ты радоваться должна.
- 26:26.876 --> 26:29.504 Это начало счастливой истории.
- 26:30.046 --> 26:31.631 Главное - помни о том,
- 26:31.715 --> 26:33.508 что ты ищешь.
- 26:35.635 --> 26:37.178 Очаровательного мужчину.
- 26:38.513 --> 26:40.015 Конечно же красивого.
- 26:40.640 --> 26:42.559 Принца или герцога.
- 26:42.642 --> 26:45.478 Ухаживать за тобой будет не внешность и не титул.
- 26:45.562 --> 26:48.231 Речь о его разуме и духе.
- 26:49.316 --> 26:51.860 Его слова должны отозваться в твоем сердце.
- 26:54.154 --> 26:55.739 Вот, что ты должна искать.
- 26:56.573 --> 26:58.658 Именно такой любви ты заслуживаешь.
- 27:07.292 --> 27:08.126 Такого
- 27:08.752 --> 27:10.170 они никак не ожидают.
- 27:40.825 --> 27:43.203 Не забывай дышать, сестренка.
- 27:47.123 --> 27:49.793 Маркиз Эшдаунский.
- 27:49.876 --> 27:53.546 Молоко на губах еще не обсохло. Но имеет 10 000 фунтов в год.
- 27:54.214 --> 27:58.093 Граф Глостер. Его жена недавно скончалась от гриппа.
- 27:58.677 --> 28:00.595 Он станет ценным дополнением
- 28:00.679 --> 28:02.889 к вашей бальной карточке, мисс Шарма.
- 28:02.972 --> 28:05.850 Сегодня я не буду танцевать, леди Данбери.
- 28:05.934 --> 28:08.645 У вас кто-то остался на родине?
- 28:08.728 --> 28:10.522 Что вы, всё это в прошлом.
- 28:10.605 --> 28:13.692 Меня интересует лишь достойная партия для сестры.
- 28:13.775 --> 28:17.570 Она безоговорочно мне доверяет. Что насчет герцога Саффолка?
- 28:17.654 --> 28:20.240 Говорят, это завидная партия.
- 28:20.323 --> 28:22.242 Он не скрывает своих любовниц.
- 28:22.325 --> 28:26.162 Уверяю вас, мисс Шарма, я знаю всех достойных кандидатов.
- 28:27.580 --> 28:28.873 А вот и она.
- 28:32.836 --> 28:34.421 Столько цветов.
- 28:35.255 --> 28:37.632 А мне нужен истинный бриллиант.
- 28:40.093 --> 28:41.636 Так скоро, леди Данбери?
- 28:44.514 --> 28:45.682 Леди Данбери.
- 28:45.765 --> 28:48.059 Великолепный вечер, как и ожидалось.
- 28:48.143 --> 28:51.521 Через пару дней состоится мой бал. Гораздо более закрытый.
- 28:51.604 --> 28:54.733 Ваше Величество, вас никому не затмить.
- 28:54.816 --> 28:56.234 Верно замечено.
- 28:56.317 --> 28:59.612 Ваше Величество, позвольте представить. Леди Мэри Шарма.
- 28:59.696 --> 29:01.448 Уверена, вы ее помните.
- 29:01.531 --> 29:03.825 А это ее дочери,
- 29:03.908 --> 29:07.078 мисс Шарма и мисс Эдвина Шарма,
- 29:07.162 --> 29:09.914 мои почетные гости на этот сезон.
- 29:09.998 --> 29:11.416 Какая честь.
- 29:11.916 --> 29:14.043 Говорят, вы проделали огромный путь,
- 29:14.127 --> 29:16.796 чтобы вернуться спустя столько лет, леди Мэри.
- 29:16.880 --> 29:18.882 Жаль, вы не были столь любезны,
- 29:18.965 --> 29:21.926 чтобы попрощаться с вашей королевой перед отъездом.
- 29:26.431 --> 29:29.976 Я предвкушаю нелегкую задачу.
- 29:43.239 --> 29:45.241 Перестань вертеться.
- 29:45.325 --> 29:46.367 Ты очень хороша.
- 29:46.451 --> 29:48.453 Я как племенной бычок на аукционе.
- 29:49.871 --> 29:51.456 Даже Дафна очень робела
- 29:51.539 --> 29:54.292 на своем первом балу. А какой ее ждал успех.
- 29:54.375 --> 29:55.210 Верно.
- 29:56.669 --> 29:57.629 Идем, сестра.
- 29:57.712 --> 29:59.672 Здесь подают отличные пирожные.
- 30:04.594 --> 30:06.262 Какой скудный выбор.
- 30:06.763 --> 30:09.849 Уверена, здесь найдется та, кто тебя очарует.
- 30:10.475 --> 30:14.896 Ведь в этом сезоне виконт ищет себе жену.
- 30:16.481 --> 30:18.983 - Неужели ты это сделала? - Как видишь.
- 30:19.067 --> 30:20.109 Леди Бриджертон.
- 30:20.944 --> 30:22.237 Лорд Бриджертон.
- 30:22.320 --> 30:24.614 - Потанцуем, лорд Бриджертон? - Добрый вечер.
- 30:29.661 --> 30:32.413 Это леди Мэри Шеффилд Шарма?
- 30:32.497 --> 30:34.874 Не верится, что она осмелилась вернуться.
- 30:34.958 --> 30:36.209 Мама, что за скандал?
- 30:36.709 --> 30:39.170 Леди Мэри была бриллиантом нашего сезона.
- 30:39.254 --> 30:42.841 Но она влюбилась в клерка и вышла за него. Так говорили.
- 30:42.924 --> 30:45.385 Они вдвоем сбежали в Индию.
- 30:45.468 --> 30:48.638 Я могу понять, если бы он был индийским принцем.
- 30:48.721 --> 30:52.684 Но ради простолюдина, у которого уже есть ребенок.
- 30:52.767 --> 30:54.060 Должно быть, это она.
- 30:54.143 --> 30:55.520 Старшая дочь.
- 30:55.603 --> 30:59.107 Родители леди Мэри так и не смогли пережить позор.
- 30:59.190 --> 31:01.526 Они не осмеливаются появиться в Лондоне.
- 31:01.609 --> 31:04.821 Не все семьи могут похвастаться нашей безупречной репутацией.
- 31:04.904 --> 31:06.739 Не так ли, леди Фэзерингтон?
- 31:10.702 --> 31:12.328 - Дорогой! - Любимая!
- 31:20.753 --> 31:22.380 Мистер и миссис Финч.
- 31:22.463 --> 31:23.882 Леди Фэзерингтон.
- 31:24.799 --> 31:27.719 Приятный сюрприз видеть вас здесь.
- 31:27.802 --> 31:30.513 После столь продолжительного траура.
- 31:30.597 --> 31:34.475 Он длился столько же, сколько наш сын ухаживает за Филиппой.
- 31:34.976 --> 31:36.019 Да.
- 31:36.644 --> 31:39.355 Это был непростой период.
- 31:39.856 --> 31:43.067 В последние месяцы над нами сгустилась тьма.
- 31:43.151 --> 31:44.485 Вы пришли одна?
- 31:44.569 --> 31:48.948 Или наследник наконец-то приехал, чтобы уладить вопрос с приданным?
- 31:51.868 --> 31:53.036 «Уладить».
- 31:53.119 --> 31:54.829 Верно сказано, мистер Финч.
- 31:54.913 --> 31:59.167 Я сейчас переживаю такой сложный период.
- 31:59.751 --> 32:04.505 Горе потрясло всё мое существо.
- 32:04.589 --> 32:08.176 Я так тоскую по покойному супругу.
- 32:08.801 --> 32:10.053 Говорила, рано еще!
- 32:10.136 --> 32:12.680 Ты сама хотела женить его как можно быстрее!
- 32:14.223 --> 32:17.101 Простите нас, леди Фэзерингтон.
- 32:17.644 --> 32:20.855 Дайте знать, когда всё уладится.
- 32:20.939 --> 32:21.981 Хорошо?
- 32:35.620 --> 32:36.955 - Восьмой? - Да.
- 32:37.038 --> 32:38.456 Я знаю того джентльмена.
- 32:39.040 --> 32:41.250 - Кого? - Виконта?
- 32:41.876 --> 32:44.963 Не думаю, что я вас уже представила.
- 32:45.046 --> 32:46.130 Конечно.
- 32:47.048 --> 32:48.591 Я ошиблась.
- 32:48.675 --> 32:50.677 У вас острый глаз.
- 32:50.760 --> 32:54.097 Виконт Бриджертон богат, у него хорошее положение,
- 32:54.180 --> 32:57.433 он принадлежит к одному из лучших семейств страны.
- 32:57.517 --> 32:59.560 Планирует жениться в этом сезоне.
- 32:59.644 --> 33:03.773 Без сомнений это один из самых завидных холостяков.
- 33:03.856 --> 33:05.149 Он очень красив.
- 33:05.233 --> 33:06.109 Да.
- 33:07.443 --> 33:08.653 Полагаю, это так.
- 33:09.445 --> 33:13.658 Лорд Корнинг, я надеялась, что вы почтите нас своим присутствием.
- 33:13.741 --> 33:17.203 Позвольте представить. Мисс Шарма.
- 33:17.745 --> 33:20.081 И мисс Эдвина Шарма.
- 33:20.832 --> 33:21.833 Очень приятно.
- 33:21.916 --> 33:24.293 Мисс Эдвина, окажете мне честь?
- 33:24.377 --> 33:25.753 Корнинг?
- 33:25.837 --> 33:27.380 Барон Корнинг.
- 33:31.217 --> 33:33.011 С удовольствием, милорд.
- 33:38.725 --> 33:41.853 Не припомню, чтобы мне попадалась фамилия Корнинг.
- 33:41.936 --> 33:45.356 Неважно, попадалась она вам или нет.
- 33:45.440 --> 33:47.442 Здесь недопустимо,
- 33:47.525 --> 33:49.777 чтобы леди не приняла приглашение,
- 33:49.861 --> 33:52.572 если только она уже не обещала другому.
- 33:53.197 --> 33:56.200 Вижу, вам нужно многому научиться.
- 34:04.625 --> 34:05.752 Испанский танец?
- 34:11.674 --> 34:14.385 Говорят, у Миллерсона в деревне есть ублюдок.
- 34:14.469 --> 34:16.012 Вылитый папаша.
- 34:18.765 --> 34:19.807 Вот ты где.
- 34:19.891 --> 34:22.977 Рада тебя видеть. Мама уже просто невыносима.
- 34:23.061 --> 34:25.480 Тебя хоть не вырядили подсолнухом.
- 34:25.563 --> 34:27.732 Не дай бог, пчела спутает с цветком.
- 34:27.815 --> 34:30.735 Мисс Бриджертон, можно вас на танец?
- 34:30.818 --> 34:32.737 Может, хотите выпить лимонада?
- 34:32.820 --> 34:34.864 - Освежиться? - Она что, поникла?
- 34:34.947 --> 34:36.074 Или пунша?
- 34:36.157 --> 34:38.367 - Как цветок. - Простите, джентльмены.
- 34:38.451 --> 34:40.328 Моя карточка уже заполнена.
- 34:45.833 --> 34:49.045 Лорд Байрон? Веллингтон? Элоиза, это вымышленные имена!
- 34:49.128 --> 34:51.255 Я следую совету сестрицы.
- 34:51.339 --> 34:53.257 Она сказала, что крайне важно,
- 34:53.341 --> 34:56.010 чтобы карточка была заполнена нужными именами.
- 34:56.094 --> 34:56.969 Элоиза?
- 34:57.553 --> 34:58.888 Вот ты где, дорогая.
- 34:59.597 --> 35:02.391 Идем. Хочу тебя кое-кому представить.
- 36:04.412 --> 36:05.538 Бриджертон!
- 36:11.043 --> 36:12.378 С меня выпивка.
- 36:12.461 --> 36:13.337 За что?
- 36:13.421 --> 36:16.799 Ты главная добыча для мамаш, желающих пристроить дочерей.
- 36:16.883 --> 36:19.218 В этом сезоне мы получили передышку.
- 36:19.302 --> 36:20.970 Так наслаждайтесь свободой.
- 36:21.470 --> 36:24.599 Скоро и вас втянут в эту брачную канитель.
- 36:25.183 --> 36:28.978 Будете бегать за каждой достойной девушкой.
- 36:29.061 --> 36:30.730 Разве они чем-то отличаются?
- 36:31.230 --> 36:34.400 Выбираешь наиболее приемлемую, исполняешь свой долг.
- 36:34.483 --> 36:38.362 - И возвращаешься к прежней жизни. - И к приятным партнершам.
- 36:39.405 --> 36:42.617 Нет, если я вынужден сковать себя цепями брака,
- 36:42.700 --> 36:44.994 девушка должна соответствовать.
- 36:45.077 --> 36:48.456 - Рассчитываешь на любовь? - Это последнее, что мне нужно.
- 36:49.123 --> 36:50.958 Чтобы иметь достойных детей,
- 36:51.042 --> 36:53.002 их мать должна быть безупречна.
- 36:53.502 --> 36:55.755 Миловидная, разумная,
- 36:56.464 --> 36:58.633 с манерами, подобающими виконтессе.
- 36:58.716 --> 36:59.884 Я многого прошу?
- 37:00.468 --> 37:03.346 Но эти дебютантки проигрывают по всем параметрам.
- 37:03.429 --> 37:04.513 Тебе нужна лучшая.
- 37:04.597 --> 37:06.933 Может, королева-таки выберет бриллиант.
- 37:07.016 --> 37:09.602 Облегчит тебе задачу. Хотя бы с выбором.
- 37:09.685 --> 37:11.771 Останется ее завоевать.
- 37:11.854 --> 37:13.272 С этим проблем не будет.
- 37:16.192 --> 37:18.819 - В курительную? - Я к вам присоединюсь.
- 37:31.415 --> 37:32.416 Кто здесь?
- 37:38.089 --> 37:39.048 Я слышу…
- 37:42.468 --> 37:43.302 Вы?
- 37:44.303 --> 37:45.471 Простите, милорд.
- 37:46.055 --> 37:47.598 Я не знаю вашего имени.
- 37:48.808 --> 37:50.434 Я надеялся на нашу встречу.
- 37:50.518 --> 37:53.729 Чтобы оценить мою разумность и манеры?
- 37:54.647 --> 37:55.690 Вы подслушивали?
- 37:55.773 --> 37:56.983 Не было нужды.
- 37:57.066 --> 37:58.442 Вы говорили так громко,
- 37:58.526 --> 38:01.654 что любой мог слышать ваши многочисленные требования.
- 38:01.737 --> 38:02.822 Что с ними не так?
- 38:02.905 --> 38:06.117 Для вас женщина - движимое имущество, рожающее детей.
- 38:06.200 --> 38:07.201 Это не для ваших…
- 38:07.285 --> 38:08.619 Виконт Бриджертон, верно?
- 38:08.703 --> 38:12.039 Что заставит этот образец благодетели, если вы ее найдете,
- 38:12.123 --> 38:13.624 принять ваше предложение?
- 38:14.125 --> 38:17.211 Неужели лондонских леди так легко завоевать
- 38:17.295 --> 38:19.672 одной лишь милой улыбкой?
- 38:19.755 --> 38:21.215 А она у меня милая?
- 38:21.299 --> 38:23.259 Вы слишком высокого о себе мнения.
- 38:23.843 --> 38:27.054 Вы никудышный человек и никудышный наездник.
- 38:27.138 --> 38:28.639 Хорошего вечера.
- 38:47.825 --> 38:49.660 Пен!
- 38:50.244 --> 38:53.122 - Куда-то собралась? - Подышать свежим воздухом.
- 38:53.622 --> 38:55.374 Здесь так душно.
- 38:56.542 --> 38:58.794 От скучной болтовни?
- 38:59.712 --> 39:01.964 Вот единственный плюс выхода в свет.
- 39:02.048 --> 39:04.842 Мы можем сбежать вместе. Никогда не будем одни.
- 39:06.635 --> 39:08.387 Читаешь мои мысли.
- 39:13.059 --> 39:14.894 Видел брата или сестру?
- 39:15.478 --> 39:17.646 Смогли от тебя улизнуть? Молодцы!
- 39:20.608 --> 39:23.819 Леди Данбери. Прекрасный вечер.
- 39:23.903 --> 39:25.446 Преимущественно.
- 39:25.529 --> 39:28.616 Отсутствие парочки гостей очень бы меня порадовало.
- 39:29.116 --> 39:30.618 Надеюсь, я не в их числе.
- 39:30.701 --> 39:33.454 В этом сезоне у нас с вами общие интересы.
- 39:33.537 --> 39:36.082 О да. Ваши подопечные. Жду встречи с ними.
- 39:36.165 --> 39:38.751 А я жду возможности показать этим мамашам,
- 39:38.834 --> 39:40.336 как нужно вести игру.
- 39:40.419 --> 39:43.964 Хотя я вижу, вы уже сделали первый ход,
- 39:44.048 --> 39:46.300 сообщив им о намерениях виконта.
- 39:46.384 --> 39:48.886 Сын сказал, что готов. Не мне ему перечить.
- 39:48.969 --> 39:51.097 Всех ждет этот удел.
- 39:51.180 --> 39:52.681 Леди Данбери, мы уезжаем.
- 39:52.765 --> 39:54.558 Мисс Шарма, позвольте представить…
- 39:54.642 --> 39:56.894 Очень приятно. Мама уже в карете.
- 39:56.977 --> 39:58.104 Увидимся дома.
- 39:59.063 --> 40:02.525 Дорогая, люди смотрят. Очевидно, что вы расстроены…
- 40:02.608 --> 40:06.487 Очевидно то, что мы абсолютно не готовы к этому испытанию.
- 40:06.570 --> 40:10.074 Уверена, отсутствие Эдвины лишь сделает ее более желанной.
- 40:10.991 --> 40:13.702 Это был прекрасный вечер, леди Данбери.
- 40:13.786 --> 40:15.454 Мы очень вам благодарны.
- 40:18.749 --> 40:19.583 Что ж,
- 40:20.334 --> 40:23.337 похоже, в этом году нам обеим нелегко придется.
- 40:23.421 --> 40:25.506 Вовсе нет, если дело касается меня.
- 40:25.589 --> 40:30.553 Как вы знаете, я никогда не останусь в стороне.
- 40:33.347 --> 40:36.350 Хорошего вечера, мама! Доброй ночи, сестры!
- 40:36.434 --> 40:37.852 Спокойной ночи, девочки!
- 41:30.446 --> 41:32.448 - Быстрее можете? - Хорошо, мисс!
- 41:35.117 --> 41:40.164 ТИПОГРАФИЯ
- 41:42.041 --> 41:44.251 Думал, вы уже не придете.
- 41:44.335 --> 41:46.253 Госпожа сожалеет о задержке.
- 41:46.795 --> 41:48.589 Вот. Напечатайте к полудню.
- 41:51.675 --> 41:53.302 Выручка за прошлый выпуск?
- 41:54.053 --> 41:57.264 Так, 800 копий по пять пенсов штука, проданы по восемь.
- 41:57.348 --> 42:01.227 Минус плата разносчикам. Должно быть 11 фунтов и два шиллинга.
- 42:02.019 --> 42:03.854 Госпожа возьмет ровно 11.
- 42:04.355 --> 42:06.232 Остальное вам за расторопность.
- 42:06.941 --> 42:11.445 Задержки будут случаться регулярно из-за непредвиденных обстоятельств.
- 42:11.529 --> 42:13.030 Так что берите.
- 42:18.869 --> 42:20.871 <i>Ничто не сравнится</i>
- 42:20.955 --> 42:24.166 <i>со сладостным запахом успеха.</i>
- 42:24.250 --> 42:27.670 <i>Но после вчерашнего бала</i> <i>стало очевидно,</i>
- 42:27.753 --> 42:32.174 <i>что сезон не для всех</i> <i>будет столь благоуханным.</i>
- 42:35.678 --> 42:40.599 <i>Хоть мать виконта Бриджертона</i> <i>лично возвестила о намерении</i>
- 42:40.683 --> 42:43.102 <i>своего старшего сына вступить в брак,</i>
- 42:43.852 --> 42:46.397 <i>все мы задаемся вопросом,</i>
- 42:46.480 --> 42:49.733 <i>готов лишь бывший повеса</i>
- 42:49.817 --> 42:52.486 <i>наконец-то остепениться.</i>
- 42:55.489 --> 42:58.576 <i>Возможно, виконт, как и все мы,</i>
- 42:58.659 --> 43:03.330 <i>лишь ждет, пока королева</i> <i>наконец-то назовет имя бриллианта.</i>
- 43:03.414 --> 43:05.708 <i>Или, возможно, ваша покорная слуга</i>
- 43:05.791 --> 43:08.752 <i>должна взять дело в свои руки.</i>
- 43:08.836 --> 43:11.297 Никто не смеет торопить меня с выбором.
- 43:11.380 --> 43:12.298 Никто.
- 43:12.381 --> 43:14.967 - Конечно, Ваше Величество. - Унесите.
- 43:15.050 --> 43:17.511 И принесите мне список пэров.
- 43:26.020 --> 43:27.396 Еще чаю, милорд?
- 43:27.896 --> 43:29.898 Думаю, он предпочитает молоко.
- 43:31.191 --> 43:33.444 Шарики? Здорово!
- 43:35.070 --> 43:36.447 Я могу почитать?
- 43:37.615 --> 43:39.658 <i>В этом году нам представили</i>
- 43:39.742 --> 43:44.121 <i>вполне подготовленных</i> <i>и тщательно выпестованных девиц.</i>
- 43:45.414 --> 43:48.250 <i>Но автор этих строк задается вопросом,</i>
- 43:48.334 --> 43:51.795 <i>не ждет ли нас всех</i> <i>гораздо более неожиданный выбор.</i>
- 43:53.505 --> 43:56.133 Младшая вполне ничего, если убрать старшую.
- 43:56.216 --> 43:57.843 Она просто ужасна.
- 44:03.932 --> 44:05.643 Только не на мое кресло!
- 44:12.232 --> 44:16.528 <i>Какая бы милая леди</i> <i>не удостоилась этой высокой чести,</i>
- 44:16.612 --> 44:21.367 <i>будем надеяться, что найдется</i> <i>достойный жених с острым умом.</i>
- 44:21.909 --> 44:27.956 <i>Иначе его бесплодные раздумья</i> <i>приведут к увяданию нашей розы.</i>
- 44:28.499 --> 44:31.460 Она мастерски использует цветочные каламбуры.
- 44:32.836 --> 44:34.171 Согласна!
- 44:35.047 --> 44:36.924 Узнайте цену подсвечников.
- 44:38.008 --> 44:39.176 Да, мэм.
- 44:44.890 --> 44:46.100 Вон. Видишь?
- 44:48.644 --> 44:50.020 Леди Горинг понравилось
- 44:50.104 --> 44:52.439 вчерашнее платье Элоизы, мадам Делакруа.
- 44:52.523 --> 44:56.193 Она сказала, оно превосходно оттеняет цвет ее лица.
- 44:57.027 --> 44:59.029 Говорит, ты похожа на Дафну.
- 44:59.113 --> 45:01.115 Я не Дафна.
- 45:02.074 --> 45:03.117 Вот эта.
- 45:03.867 --> 45:05.744 Конечно, леди Бриджертон.
- 45:10.040 --> 45:12.918 Элоиза, тебе может понравиться следующий бал,
- 45:13.001 --> 45:14.962 если ты хоть с кем-то потанцуешь.
- 45:15.879 --> 45:18.340 Новые знакомства могут быть приятными.
- 45:18.424 --> 45:21.468 Да, Энтони определенно приятно провел время.
- 45:21.552 --> 45:24.096 Он сражен изяществом юных танцовщиц.
- 45:24.179 --> 45:26.223 Мне все ноги отдавили.
- 45:26.306 --> 45:28.392 Разве их не учат танцевать?
- 45:28.475 --> 45:31.186 Разве юноши не должны уметь связать два слова?
- 45:31.270 --> 45:33.397 Жаль, наши надежды не оправдались.
- 45:36.024 --> 45:38.444 По-моему, Элоиза - настоящий бриллиант.
- 45:38.527 --> 45:40.571 Абсолютно согласна, Джасинт.
- 45:40.654 --> 45:43.574 Возможно, королева заметит это на завтрашнем балу.
- 45:44.074 --> 45:45.576 Не выношу тебя.
- 45:49.246 --> 45:50.247 Мадам Делакруа.
- 45:50.956 --> 45:52.166 Вы вернулись.
- 45:52.750 --> 45:53.834 Ну конечно!
- 45:53.917 --> 45:57.129 Кто еще сможет одеть дебютанток к этому сезону?
- 45:59.047 --> 46:01.133 Увидимся вечером?
- 46:02.050 --> 46:03.802 Я слышал, будет прием.
- 46:05.345 --> 46:08.432 У меня много работы, мистер Бриджертон.
- 46:09.141 --> 46:12.269 Для меня мое искусство на первом месте.
- 46:13.437 --> 46:14.938 Приятного вечера.
- 46:19.193 --> 46:20.194 Брат.
- 46:26.074 --> 46:29.870 Ты всё еще крутишь шашни с модисткой?
- 46:29.953 --> 46:31.830 Вовсе нет. Подыскал себе жену?
- 46:31.914 --> 46:34.666 Или продолжишь оскорблять всех подряд?
- 46:34.750 --> 46:35.626 Мама знает?
- 46:35.709 --> 46:38.295 - О чём? - Я к поверенному.
- 46:39.296 --> 46:41.131 Удачи с рисунками, братец.
- 46:45.135 --> 46:46.136 Энтони?
- 46:48.764 --> 46:53.018 На вчерашнем балу было несколько милых девушек, не так ли?
- 46:53.685 --> 46:55.813 У леди Делайлы прекрасные манеры.
- 46:55.896 --> 46:59.233 Говорят, мисс Гудрум блестяще вышивает.
- 46:59.733 --> 47:01.527 Узнай их поближе.
- 47:01.610 --> 47:03.946 Леди Делайла не может двух слов связать.
- 47:04.029 --> 47:07.032 А мисс Гудрум считает, Наполеон на стороне испанцев.
- 47:07.616 --> 47:09.910 Все, кого ты мне сватала, - невежды.
- 47:09.993 --> 47:11.537 Глаза бы мои их не видели.
- 47:11.620 --> 47:14.039 - Энтони. - Мне нужно совершенство. Пойми.
- 47:14.706 --> 47:17.709 Моя жена станет виконтессой Бриджертон.
- 47:17.793 --> 47:20.629 Хозяйкой этого дома. Ответственной за моих сестер
- 47:20.712 --> 47:21.797 и моих детей.
- 47:22.506 --> 47:26.552 Хочешь, чтобы их мать не знала, как правильно пользоваться картой?
- 47:28.512 --> 47:30.347 В этом я вижу свой долг.
- 47:33.725 --> 47:35.269 С подобными требованиями
- 47:36.228 --> 47:37.980 ты останешься один.
- 47:43.360 --> 47:44.486 Хорошего дня, мама.
- 48:07.843 --> 48:09.761 Почему здесь так тихо?
- 48:10.345 --> 48:11.597 Так я здесь одна.
- 48:12.306 --> 48:13.765 Читаю, как всегда.
- 48:15.142 --> 48:16.935 Какая же ты скучная.
- 48:17.644 --> 48:22.691 Я буду порежена, если Филиппа сумеет выйти за Финча.
- 48:22.774 --> 48:23.734 «Поражена».
- 48:24.234 --> 48:26.153 Ты хотела сказать «поражена».
- 48:29.281 --> 48:30.115 Что это?
- 48:30.198 --> 48:31.283 О чём ты?
- 48:31.825 --> 48:33.702 - Что пишешь? - Я не пишу.
- 48:33.785 --> 48:34.661 Писала.
- 48:34.745 --> 48:36.788 Пруденс. Не смей… Верни!
- 48:36.872 --> 48:41.710 Ах вот оно что, бесенок! Вот чем ты занимаешься в тишине?
- 48:41.793 --> 48:44.129 Почему вы еще не спите?
- 48:45.047 --> 48:46.048 Пенелопа писала.
- 48:47.758 --> 48:49.301 Колину Бриджертону.
- 48:50.260 --> 48:52.679 Понятно, почему все руки в чернилах.
- 48:52.763 --> 48:54.139 Прошу, Пенелопа!
- 48:54.222 --> 48:55.933 Колин - мой друг!
- 48:56.016 --> 48:59.227 Он не станет тратить чернила на такую, как ты.
- 48:59.311 --> 49:01.104 - Сколько за них дадут? - Что?
- 49:01.688 --> 49:02.564 Твои книги.
- 49:02.648 --> 49:04.691 Они чего-то да стоят, верно?
- 49:04.775 --> 49:06.068 Не думаю, мама.
- 49:06.902 --> 49:07.861 Жаль.
- 49:09.696 --> 49:14.326 Перестань тратить драгоценное время на написание глупых писем.
- 49:15.077 --> 49:19.873 Колин Бриджертон такой же друг, как я Екатерина Великая.
- 49:21.083 --> 49:22.084 Отмой руки.
- 49:22.668 --> 49:24.670 А то тебя примут за простолюдинку.
- 49:43.480 --> 49:44.481 Мэм.
- 49:45.273 --> 49:46.316 Вам письмо.
- 49:58.787 --> 50:01.164 Ваш чай совсем остынет.
- 50:01.748 --> 50:03.875 В отличие от моих лошадей.
- 50:04.418 --> 50:07.713 Завтра утром снова поедете кататься верхом?
- 50:11.049 --> 50:13.635 Я в курсе всего, что творится в моём доме.
- 50:14.344 --> 50:17.014 Поскольку вы намерены таиться,
- 50:17.639 --> 50:19.808 я сэкономлю нам время.
- 50:20.434 --> 50:23.812 Письмо от Шеффилдов, ваших бабушки и дедушки.
- 50:23.895 --> 50:25.480 Я написала им.
- 50:25.564 --> 50:27.649 Они мне не родня, леди Данбери.
- 50:28.275 --> 50:30.485 Между нами нет кровных связей.
- 50:31.570 --> 50:35.741 Похоже, вы не были со мной откровенны.
- 50:35.824 --> 50:39.411 Признаю, не стоило отправляться на прогулку без сопровождающего.
- 50:39.494 --> 50:41.496 А как насчет истинной причины
- 50:41.580 --> 50:44.249 вашего приезда в Лондон?
- 50:45.000 --> 50:47.127 Это беспокоит меня гораздо больше.
- 50:49.463 --> 50:51.506 Мы приехали найти мужа Эдвине.
- 50:52.424 --> 50:53.884 И это всё?
- 50:54.551 --> 50:56.595 Проявите благоразумие
- 50:56.678 --> 50:59.639 и перестаньте скрывать правду, мисс Шарма.
- 51:00.557 --> 51:05.187 Мало кто пытался меня перехитрить. А удалось это лишь единицам.
- 51:05.896 --> 51:09.858 Вы живете в моём доме, на моём попечении,
- 51:09.941 --> 51:13.195 полагаясь на мое доброе имя, мои связи, мои средства.
- 51:13.737 --> 51:17.616 Я поручилась за вас с сестрой перед Ее Величеством королевой.
- 51:17.699 --> 51:18.784 Всё потому,
- 51:20.077 --> 51:24.956 что я решила проявить доброту к старому другу…
- 51:25.040 --> 51:27.501 И мы за всё вам признательны.
- 51:28.668 --> 51:32.255 Ваша мать тоскует по вашему отцу, это естественно.
- 51:32.839 --> 51:35.842 Но она вовсе сюда не стремилась, верно?
- 51:35.926 --> 51:37.052 Это была ваша идея!
- 51:38.595 --> 51:41.890 Я не хочу быть пешкой в чужой игре.
- 51:41.973 --> 51:43.350 Вы ошибаетесь.
- 51:43.433 --> 51:47.020 Тогда поведайте мне, каковы условия Шеффилдов
- 51:47.104 --> 51:49.022 в отношении брака Эдвины.
- 51:49.106 --> 51:51.900 Полагаю, выполнив их условия,
- 51:51.983 --> 51:55.612 вы и ваша семья получите целое состояние.
- 51:58.865 --> 52:01.701 Супругом Эдвины должен стать английский дворянин.
- 52:07.415 --> 52:11.002 За браком вашей матери не смогли уследить.
- 52:11.086 --> 52:14.005 Решили вмешаться в дела вашей сестры.
- 52:14.089 --> 52:14.923 Да.
- 52:15.006 --> 52:18.677 Они так и не смирились с отсутствием у отца титула и положения.
- 52:19.261 --> 52:23.140 Уверяю вас, леди Данбери, я вовсе не преследую собственные цели.
- 52:24.266 --> 52:27.936 После смерти отца мы с мамой сделали всё,
- 52:28.019 --> 52:31.731 чтобы Эдвина ничего не знала о наших проблемах.
- 52:32.941 --> 52:36.194 Но наши средства иссякли. Последнее ушло на дорогу сюда.
- 52:36.278 --> 52:39.781 Шеффилды согласны выделить моей сестре приличное приданое
- 52:39.865 --> 52:41.199 и позаботиться о маме.
- 52:42.409 --> 52:44.536 Но только в случае достойного брака.
- 52:52.127 --> 52:53.461 А как же вы?
- 52:54.629 --> 52:57.716 Если мой брак мог бы помочь семье, я бы на это пошла.
- 52:57.799 --> 53:00.218 Но между мной и мамой нет кровного родства.
- 53:00.302 --> 53:01.720 Эдвина - ее родная дочь.
- 53:03.555 --> 53:05.807 Последние восемь лет я посвятила тому,
- 53:05.891 --> 53:09.644 чтобы научить сестру правильно ходить, говорить,
- 53:09.728 --> 53:11.521 блестяще играть на фортепьяно.
- 53:15.567 --> 53:19.487 Я вкладывала в нее всю душу и требовала полной отдачи.
- 53:19.571 --> 53:22.949 Даже научила заваривать мерзкую бурду, обожаемую англичанами.
- 53:23.033 --> 53:24.576 Ненавижу английский чай.
- 53:26.411 --> 53:29.581 Но если это обеспечит будущее моей сестры,
- 53:30.749 --> 53:35.337 я готова пить его, мило улыбаясь и вежливо кивая головой.
- 53:38.590 --> 53:40.508 Ваша сестра имеет право знать.
- 53:41.009 --> 53:44.054 Вы сами сказали - это ее будущее.
- 53:45.764 --> 53:49.059 Именно поэтому я и ограждаю ее. Ведь я ее знаю.
- 53:49.601 --> 53:51.686 Если она всё узнает,
- 53:51.770 --> 53:53.939 то тут же выскочит замуж ради нас.
- 53:54.022 --> 53:56.816 Примет предложение любого, кто снизойдет до нее.
- 53:57.817 --> 54:01.988 Эдвина заслужила шанс найти любовь без подобного груза на плечах.
- 54:03.865 --> 54:05.825 Прошу, никому не говорите.
- 54:11.957 --> 54:15.961 <i>Сформировавшийся под давлением,</i> <i>желанный многими,</i>
- 54:16.044 --> 54:19.381 <i>но доставшийся</i> <i>лишь избранным счастливцам.</i>
- 54:19.464 --> 54:23.260 <i>Ничто на земле</i> <i>не вызывает столько зависти,</i>
- 54:23.343 --> 54:24.928 <i>сколько бриллиант.</i>
- 54:34.562 --> 54:36.773 <i>Сочтет ли королева возможным</i>
- 54:36.856 --> 54:39.109 <i>наконец погасить ожесточенные споры</i> ,
- 54:39.192 --> 54:41.278 <i>милостиво удостоив высочайшей чести</i>
- 54:41.361 --> 54:44.864 <i>самую удачливую из молодых леди?</i>
- 54:48.827 --> 54:52.289 <i>На кону стоит столько судеб.</i>
- 54:52.372 --> 54:55.667 <i>Уверена, не только автор этих строк</i>
- 54:55.750 --> 54:58.086 <i>ждет ее решения, затаив дыхание.</i>
- 55:00.255 --> 55:04.509 Надеюсь, в этот раз город пришелся вам по вкусу,
- 55:05.218 --> 55:06.219 леди Мэри.
- 55:06.303 --> 55:08.013 О да, Ваше Величество.
- 55:08.096 --> 55:10.223 Ну хоть на этот раз.
- 55:10.890 --> 55:15.687 Думаю, вашей матушке не помешает свежий воздух, мисс Шарма.
- 55:23.570 --> 55:27.615 Думаю, леди Мэри всё-таки заслужила признание, мэм.
- 55:27.699 --> 55:30.493 Она выразила подлинную преданность,
- 55:30.577 --> 55:32.287 решившись представить дочерей
- 55:32.370 --> 55:34.956 на ваш строгий суд, Ваше Величество.
- 55:35.457 --> 55:38.084 Уверена, младшая
- 55:38.168 --> 55:42.255 сделает партию, о которой будет говорить всё общество.
- 55:42.839 --> 55:46.593 Леди Данбери, я чувствую, вы на что-то намекаете.
- 55:46.676 --> 55:49.304 Вы хотели сделать сезон интересным.
- 55:50.305 --> 55:51.973 Вот ваш шанс.
- 55:59.356 --> 56:01.274 Есть те, кого ты еще не отверг?
- 56:01.775 --> 56:04.903 Ты у нас художник. Кто-то вызывает у тебя вдохновение?
- 56:05.737 --> 56:08.365 Сегодня мы узнаем бриллиант, а я обрету жену.
- 56:11.284 --> 56:13.495 Леди Бриджертон. Мисс Бриджертон.
- 56:14.079 --> 56:17.624 Жаль, ваше представление ко двору было столь грубо прервано.
- 56:17.707 --> 56:18.666 Верно, жаль.
- 56:18.750 --> 56:21.753 Я чуть не забыла про ваш выход в свет в этом сезоне.
- 56:22.253 --> 56:24.589 Ваша старшая сестра блистала при дворе.
- 56:25.298 --> 56:28.134 Возможно, удача - это у вас семейное.
- 56:31.971 --> 56:36.101 Прекрасный бал, Ваше Величество. Настоящий бриллиант среди балов.
- 56:36.810 --> 56:39.187 Хотя сама я предпочитаю изумруды.
- 56:46.778 --> 56:47.612 Милочка!
- 56:49.447 --> 56:51.658 Мое любимое ожерелье - изумрудное.
- 56:51.741 --> 56:53.701 Блестящее замечание.
- 56:54.244 --> 56:59.082 Вижу, за этот год вы расцвели, мисс Бриджертон.
- 57:10.844 --> 57:13.596 Если королева выберет бриллиантом Элоизу,
- 57:14.305 --> 57:15.640 на ком же ты женишься?
- 57:16.141 --> 57:17.267 Замолкни.
- 57:32.615 --> 57:34.701 Пен!
- 57:34.784 --> 57:35.869 Скорее отсюда.
- 57:35.952 --> 57:36.953 Королева…
- 57:37.036 --> 57:39.080 Каким-то образом я ее очаровала.
- 57:39.956 --> 57:43.126 - Похоже, я ей нравлюсь. - Элоиза, успокойся.
- 57:43.209 --> 57:46.379 Элоиза Бриджертон. Бриллиант.
- 57:47.088 --> 57:50.550 Теперь перестанешь коротать время с серыми мышками
- 57:51.134 --> 57:52.969 и выберешь себе друзей получше.
- 57:53.845 --> 57:56.139 - Предлагаю… - Да я скорее умру!
- 58:05.023 --> 58:07.692 Не понимаю, как ты выдержала целый сезон
- 58:07.775 --> 58:10.612 в окружении Крессиды Каупер и ей подобных.
- 58:10.695 --> 58:12.489 Дело не в ней. Они все такие.
- 58:12.572 --> 58:15.492 Глазеют на меня, будто я фарфоровый чайник.
- 58:15.575 --> 58:17.243 Как ты справлялась, Пен?
- 58:17.327 --> 58:19.287 У меня не было подобных проблем.
- 58:19.370 --> 58:20.914 «Серая мышка», помнишь?
- 58:20.997 --> 58:22.373 Это не… Крессиду бесит,
- 58:22.457 --> 58:25.001 что даже новое платье не скроет ее характер.
- 58:31.883 --> 58:33.051 Всё не так плохо.
- 58:33.885 --> 58:35.136 Я про серую мышку.
- 58:36.304 --> 58:38.056 Я всегда первой пью лимонад.
- 58:38.723 --> 58:40.934 Наблюдая, я вижу, кто лучшие танцоры.
- 58:41.643 --> 58:44.354 Глянешь на кавалера, когда леди танцует с другим,
- 58:44.437 --> 58:46.773 и сразу видно серьезность его намерений.
- 58:46.856 --> 58:50.568 Стоя у стены, я слышу слухи, которыми обмениваются лакеи.
- 58:51.903 --> 58:53.571 Ты скрывала это от меня.
- 58:56.491 --> 58:58.618 Больше не нужно притворяться, Пен.
- 59:00.828 --> 59:02.789 Тебе всё это нравится.
- 59:04.999 --> 59:06.543 Бывает весело.
- 59:09.128 --> 59:10.922 Теперь ты ее недолюбливаешь.
- 59:11.005 --> 59:13.383 Но разве леди Уислдаун не развлекает нас?
- 59:13.466 --> 59:15.134 Дело не в этом.
- 59:16.135 --> 59:20.390 Я думала, мне будет ее не хватать, ведь она помогает во всём разобраться.
- 59:21.057 --> 59:24.602 Но она снова пишет о том же самом.
- 59:24.686 --> 59:26.688 И я снова понимаю, что в ловушке.
- 59:30.400 --> 59:31.985 Все на меня глазеют.
- 59:32.068 --> 59:35.530 Входя в бальный зал, я знаю, что меня сравнивают с Дафной.
- 59:35.613 --> 59:40.076 Она была блистательным бриллиантом. Мама светилась от счастья.
- 59:41.369 --> 59:42.787 Мне с ней не сравниться.
- 59:43.371 --> 59:46.291 Да я и не хочу. Но от этого ничуть не легче сознавать,
- 59:46.374 --> 59:49.502 что ты всех разочаровываешь одним своим появлением.
- 59:51.421 --> 59:52.922 Я и представить не могла.
- 59:54.674 --> 59:57.135 Меня никто не замечает.
- 59:58.970 --> 01:00:00.346 И мне это нравится.
- 01:00:01.889 --> 01:00:04.100 Невидимкам гораздо легче.
- 01:00:04.183 --> 01:00:07.061 Популярность налагает на людей обязательства.
- 01:00:07.145 --> 01:00:08.646 А мы свободны от них.
- 01:00:10.898 --> 01:00:13.401 Поэтому Уислдаун соблюдает анонимность?
- 01:00:14.527 --> 01:00:15.445 Возможно.
- 01:00:17.071 --> 01:00:19.157 Поэтому Крессида столь жестока?
- 01:00:19.866 --> 01:00:20.700 Нет.
- 01:00:21.534 --> 01:00:23.703 У нее просто слишком тугая прическа.
- 01:00:40.053 --> 01:00:42.472 Ваше присутствие отмечено.
- 01:00:42.555 --> 01:00:45.016 Ваша королева высоко это ценит.
- 01:00:46.267 --> 01:00:51.648 Я имею честь представить вам бриллиант этого сезона.
- 01:01:02.909 --> 01:01:04.577 Мисс Эдвина Шарма.
- 01:01:21.177 --> 01:01:24.055 Твой взгляд… Так я смотрю на законченную картину.
- 01:01:24.138 --> 01:01:25.932 Каждому нужна муза, не так ли?
- 01:01:40.738 --> 01:01:42.281 Виконт Бриджертон.
- 01:01:43.074 --> 01:01:45.576 Вы уже знакомы с моей избранницей?
- 01:01:46.744 --> 01:01:49.414 Благодарю за представление, Ваше Величество.
- 01:01:49.497 --> 01:01:52.375 Надеюсь, леди удостоит меня чести потанцевать с ней.
- 01:02:02.885 --> 01:02:04.762 Я должна поблагодарить вас.
- 01:02:06.013 --> 01:02:09.267 Дитя, вы слишком торопитесь.
- 01:02:10.184 --> 01:02:13.312 Знайте, настоящая работа начинается сейчас.
- 01:02:13.396 --> 01:02:17.442 Вы правы. Нам с сестрой придется преодолеть немало препятствий.
- 01:02:17.525 --> 01:02:19.569 Кстати, где она?
- 01:02:21.904 --> 01:02:24.866 Простите за прямоту, что вы думаете о детях?
- 01:02:25.450 --> 01:02:27.577 Помимо того, что я хочу их иметь?
- 01:02:28.494 --> 01:02:31.748 Сколько бы ни дал мне Бог, я буду очень благодарна.
- 01:02:31.831 --> 01:02:34.500 Этот вопрос мы решим вместе с моим супругом.
- 01:02:35.251 --> 01:02:36.335 Очень умно.
- 01:02:37.587 --> 01:02:39.964 Вы играете на каком-то инструменте?
- 01:02:41.466 --> 01:02:43.050 На многих.
- 01:02:43.134 --> 01:02:47.638 Но по большей части мое образование преследовало более серьезные цели.
- 01:02:49.140 --> 01:02:51.893 Языки, классическая литература.
- 01:02:51.976 --> 01:02:53.519 Я люблю читать.
- 01:02:56.022 --> 01:02:59.484 Вижу, вас не смущает учиненный мной допрос.
- 01:03:00.318 --> 01:03:01.527 С чего бы?
- 01:03:01.611 --> 01:03:05.239 Мужчина, знающий, чего хочет, достоин восхищения.
- 01:03:06.908 --> 01:03:09.160 Ваш отец здесь? У меня к нему разговор.
- 01:03:10.620 --> 01:03:12.830 К сожалению, отец давно умер.
- 01:03:15.833 --> 01:03:16.959 Мне очень жаль.
- 01:03:19.170 --> 01:03:20.004 Мой тоже.
- 01:03:27.595 --> 01:03:29.889 Вы можете поговорить с моей сестрой.
- 01:03:30.515 --> 01:03:34.143 Именно ее благословение понадобится, если мы… А вот и она.
- 01:03:34.227 --> 01:03:35.978 - Кейт! - Лорд Бриджертон.
- 01:03:36.062 --> 01:03:38.731 Мисс Эдвину вы уже знаете. Это…
- 01:03:38.815 --> 01:03:39.774 Ее сестра.
- 01:03:39.857 --> 01:03:41.150 Мисс Шарма, милорд.
- 01:03:43.778 --> 01:03:45.947 Виконт Бриджертон прекрасно танцует.
- 01:03:46.447 --> 01:03:49.075 Я могу кое-чему у вас научиться, милорд.
- 01:03:49.158 --> 01:03:51.285 Сопроводишь меня в дамскую комнату?
- 01:03:53.913 --> 01:03:55.248 Что-то не так?
- 01:03:55.331 --> 01:03:58.334 Не приближайся к этому человеку. Ты поняла?
- 01:04:00.253 --> 01:04:02.547 Какой прелестный бриллиант.
- 01:04:02.630 --> 01:04:03.464 О да.
- 01:04:05.091 --> 01:04:06.592 Я женюсь на ней.
- 01:04:08.219 --> 01:04:10.388 Я должна кое о чём тебе рассказать.
- 01:04:10.471 --> 01:04:14.308 <i>Цвет, чистота, размер, огранка.</i>
- 01:04:14.392 --> 01:04:18.312 <i>Наконец-то королева нашла</i> <i>свою лучшую драгоценность.</i>
- 01:04:22.358 --> 01:04:24.235 Что всё это значит?
- 01:04:26.821 --> 01:04:27.655 Мэм.
- 01:04:28.281 --> 01:04:29.448 Он здесь.
- 01:04:30.032 --> 01:04:31.826 Новый лорд Фэзерингтон.
- 01:04:35.204 --> 01:04:36.372 Леди Фэзерингтон.
- 01:04:37.957 --> 01:04:39.834 Ведь так? Хоть мы и не женаты.
- 01:04:40.418 --> 01:04:41.627 Немного странно.
- 01:04:42.545 --> 01:04:44.755 Я думала, он старик.
- 01:04:44.839 --> 01:04:46.924 - Я думала, он урод. - Леди.
- 01:04:47.008 --> 01:04:48.175 Ничего страшного.
- 01:04:48.259 --> 01:04:49.468 Вы о моём отце.
- 01:04:49.552 --> 01:04:51.596 Я не обижаюсь. Он был уродлив.
- 01:04:51.679 --> 01:04:52.805 И очень стар.
- 01:04:52.889 --> 01:04:55.975 Настолько стар, что он умер.
- 01:04:56.976 --> 01:05:00.646 Простите, что заставил себя ждать. Я проделал путь из Америки.
- 01:05:00.730 --> 01:05:02.899 Но я сразу же взялся за дела.
- 01:05:02.982 --> 01:05:05.276 Филиппа, это, должно быть, вы.
- 01:05:05.359 --> 01:05:07.361 Я выплатил приданное Финчу.
- 01:05:07.445 --> 01:05:09.322 Книги покойного лорда я беру себе.
- 01:05:09.405 --> 01:05:13.868 Я взял на себя смелость перенести вещи из вашей спальни, леди Фэзерингтон.
- 01:05:13.951 --> 01:05:15.703 Странное обращение, да?
- 01:05:15.786 --> 01:05:17.830 Вы перенесли мои вещи?
- 01:05:17.914 --> 01:05:21.083 Теперь эти комнаты буду занимать я, как хозяин дома.
- 01:05:21.167 --> 01:05:22.376 Вы же понимаете.
- 01:05:23.878 --> 01:05:25.379 Как ты говорила, мама.
- 01:05:25.463 --> 01:05:27.548 Новый лорд Фэзерингтон всё устроит.
- 01:05:31.302 --> 01:05:34.430 <i>Ваш покорный автор находит</i> <i>мисс Эдвину Шарму</i>
- 01:05:34.513 --> 01:05:37.099 <i>блестящей молодой леди.</i>
- 01:05:37.183 --> 01:05:40.269 <i>Но сейчас я хотела бы затронуть</i>
- 01:05:40.353 --> 01:05:42.438 <i>совсем другой вопрос.</i>
- 01:05:42.521 --> 01:05:43.898 <i>Перемены.</i>
- 01:05:44.440 --> 01:05:47.693 <i>Разве сама идея выбора бриллианта</i>
- 01:05:47.777 --> 01:05:50.738 <i>не является довольно возмутительной?</i>
- 01:05:50.821 --> 01:05:55.534 <i>Разве женщину можно оценивать</i> <i>лишь по ее успехам в танцах</i>
- 01:05:55.618 --> 01:05:57.203 <i>или изысканности манер?</i>
- 01:05:57.286 --> 01:05:59.997 <i>Не стоит ли начать ценить в ней</i>
- 01:06:00.081 --> 01:06:02.541 <i>честность, характер,</i>
- 01:06:02.625 --> 01:06:04.460 <i>ее истинные таланты?</i>
- 01:06:04.543 --> 01:06:05.795 Что скажешь, Элоиза?
- 01:06:06.587 --> 01:06:07.546 Прекрасно.
- 01:06:10.299 --> 01:06:15.346 <i>Возможно, если бы королева оставила</i> <i>этот абсурдный обычай в прошлом,</i>
- 01:06:15.429 --> 01:06:16.889 <i>нам бы стало очевидно,</i>
- 01:06:16.973 --> 01:06:19.517 <i>что женщина способна</i> <i>на гораздо большее.</i>
- 01:06:20.977 --> 01:06:22.645 Что такое, Ваше Высочество?
- 01:06:22.728 --> 01:06:24.063 Эдвина Шарма.
- 01:06:24.814 --> 01:06:25.940 Мой бриллиант.
- 01:06:26.607 --> 01:06:28.150 В этом сезоне ей придется
- 01:06:28.234 --> 01:06:31.278 сделать для меня нечто больше, чем просто блистать.
- 01:06:36.826 --> 01:06:40.496 ПАМЯТИ МАРКА ПИЛЧЕРА
- 01:08:09.168 --> 01:08:11.587 Перевод субтитров: Ксения Гребеникова
- 05:42.526 --> 05:43.706 «СВЕТСКИЕ ХРОНИКИ ОТ ЛЕДИ УИСЛДАУН»
- 20:32.626 --> 20:36.266 Я изучаю французский язык с десяти лет, леди Денбери.
- 42:45.416 --> 42:48.226 МИСС СИЕНА РОССО В ОПЕРЕ МОЦАРТА «МИЛОСЕРДИЕ ТИТА»
- 44:12.196 --> 44:13.666 «СВЕТСКИЕ ХРОНИКИ ОТ ЛЕДИ УИСЛДАУН»
- 01:06:36.946 --> 01:06:40.116 В ПАМЯТЬ О МАРКЕ ПИЛЧЕРЕ
- 00:22.188 --> 00:23.523 [horses neighing]
- 00:39.789 --> 00:41.291 [driver] Whoa. Whoa.
- 00:45.462 --> 00:48.173 -I just think it's important… No, no, no. -[chattering]
- 00:48.256 --> 00:50.383 -Gregory, you… -[indistinct chatter]
- 00:50.467 --> 00:53.261 Shh! Let her come out on her own.
- 00:53.344 --> 00:55.472 -Is this the plan? -Thank goodness you're here.
- 00:55.555 --> 00:58.183 -She's requested time. -We do not have time. Stand back.
- 00:58.266 --> 01:00.977 No offense, Sister, but you are the last person she'd like to see.
- 01:01.061 --> 01:03.063 -What does that mean? -Are we sure she's in there?
- 01:03.146 --> 01:05.190 -Of course she is. -Where else would she be?
- 01:05.273 --> 01:07.901 -Climbed through the window, the chimney-- -Quiet! She may hear you.
- 01:07.984 --> 01:09.944 I left my husband and child at home for this.
- 01:10.028 --> 01:12.530 I told everyone this would happen, now we're late for the queen.
- 01:12.614 --> 01:13.531 I hear something.
- 01:13.615 --> 01:15.617 [muffled, distant chatter]
- 01:16.367 --> 01:18.078 -[groans] -[Violet] Anthony.
- 01:32.509 --> 01:35.095 If one of you utters a single word…
- 01:37.430 --> 01:38.973 Let us get this over with.
- 01:45.480 --> 01:49.067 I yearn for someone fresh, someone unexpected,
- 01:49.150 --> 01:51.194 to turn this season on its head.
- 01:51.277 --> 01:55.031 That is what we need. There is no room for indifference.
- 01:55.115 --> 01:57.867 Apathy is a blight the monarchy simply cannot endure.
- 01:57.951 --> 01:59.869 Of course, Your Majesty. But remember,
- 01:59.953 --> 02:02.080 a young lady cannot <i>be</i> a diamond
- 02:02.163 --> 02:04.666 until <i>you</i> anoint her as such.
- 02:04.749 --> 02:08.753 So if for any reason you do not find one among the candidates today--
- 02:08.837 --> 02:10.296 Do you think she will return?
- 02:10.380 --> 02:12.924 We have heard nary a peep from Lady Whistledown
- 02:13.007 --> 02:14.676 since last season ended.
- 02:15.718 --> 02:17.971 Perhaps the writer came to her senses.
- 02:18.054 --> 02:21.641 Perhaps she realized taking on her queen was a bad idea,
- 02:21.724 --> 02:23.393 and she will never publish again.
- 02:23.476 --> 02:25.770 It is a convincing theory, ma'am.
- 02:25.854 --> 02:26.729 Or
- 02:27.355 --> 02:31.276 she simply left for the country, as the rest of us did in the off-season,
- 02:31.359 --> 02:33.820 bored by the lack of any real gossip.
- 02:33.903 --> 02:34.904 [Lady Danbury] Hmm.
- 02:37.198 --> 02:39.325 You do know what that would make her, then?
- 02:42.495 --> 02:43.788 One of us.
- 02:43.872 --> 02:44.914 [Lady Danbury] Hmm.
- 02:46.457 --> 02:48.960 [Prudence] Could we not have appealed to the queen, Mama?
- 02:49.043 --> 02:51.504 After having mourned dear Papa for so very long,
- 02:51.588 --> 02:53.423 perhaps Her Majesty might extend a kindness
- 02:53.506 --> 02:55.216 and allow us to be presented again.
- 02:55.300 --> 02:57.135 I see no need to go through all of that again
- 02:57.218 --> 02:59.637 when I myself am already betrothed to Mr. Finch.
- 02:59.721 --> 03:01.848 Mr. Finch may very well still change his mind.
- 03:01.931 --> 03:04.767 Particularly when he notices there is still no dowry.
- 03:04.851 --> 03:07.645 Hush! The new Lord Featherington shall see to that,
- 03:07.729 --> 03:10.231 when he finally decides to show his miserly face.
- 03:15.111 --> 03:16.863 Just remember to remain composed.
- 03:16.946 --> 03:19.199 And control your emotions.
- 03:19.699 --> 03:22.827 Her Majesty does not take kindly to any hint of hysterics.
- 03:23.411 --> 03:27.207 I found a small smile worked best to appear open and approachable,
- 03:27.290 --> 03:29.042 but not too eager.
- 03:29.667 --> 03:30.919 Now, let us see it.
- 03:32.253 --> 03:33.129 No.
- 03:33.213 --> 03:34.547 She's practically melting.
- 03:34.631 --> 03:37.217 -Here. Allow me. -[Violet] And your curtsy, dearest.
- 03:37.300 --> 03:39.552 Tell your sister how you managed such balance.
- 03:39.636 --> 03:42.972 Simply locate a stationary object and keep your eyes set.
- 03:43.473 --> 03:45.683 I used a painting nearby. We practiced it.
- 03:45.767 --> 03:47.894 -[Eloise whimpers] -[Daphne] Several times.
- 03:49.562 --> 03:51.940 -You have natural gifts-- -Do not patronize me.
- 03:52.023 --> 03:53.733 -And give me that! -[Francesca] Oh!
- 03:55.902 --> 03:58.321 My task this season cannot be exceptionally difficult.
- 03:58.404 --> 04:00.490 Hastings did it after all. How hard can it be?
- 04:00.573 --> 04:03.576 -Ah. Spoken with such feeling too. -[Anthony] I do not need feeling.
- 04:03.660 --> 04:06.120 What I need is what I have, and that is a list.
- 04:06.204 --> 04:09.624 Tolerable, dutiful, suitable enough hips for childbearing,
- 04:09.707 --> 04:11.042 and at least half a brain.
- 04:11.542 --> 04:14.963 And that last part is not so much a requirement but a preference, in fact.
- 04:16.673 --> 04:19.259 [man] Miss Cordelia Patridge.
- 04:20.385 --> 04:23.304 The Lady Abigail Evans.
- 04:23.388 --> 04:26.557 Miss Mary Ann Hallewell.
- 04:26.641 --> 04:28.893 Miss Margaret Goring.
- 04:33.731 --> 04:35.108 It is not too late.
- 04:35.191 --> 04:36.901 -You could say I collapsed. -[chuckles]
- 04:36.985 --> 04:39.112 That I got something unmentionable on my gown.
- 04:39.195 --> 04:40.905 All the feathers affected my senses.
- 04:40.989 --> 04:42.949 Anything, Mama, to get me out of doing this.
- 04:43.032 --> 04:44.575 -My darling girl. -[breathes shakily]
- 04:44.659 --> 04:47.704 No matter what, you will always be a diamond to me.
- 04:49.497 --> 04:50.957 If Penelope were here…
- 04:52.041 --> 04:56.379 Penelope? How many times must I warn you to be wary of that window?
- 04:56.462 --> 04:58.423 Do you wish to appear like a befreckled beggar
- 04:58.506 --> 05:00.091 spending all day in the sun?
- 05:00.174 --> 05:01.926 -[chuckles] -[Penelope] Of course not, Mama.
- 05:02.010 --> 05:03.386 My apologies.
- 05:08.850 --> 05:11.978 [man] The Dowager Viscountess Bridgerton
- 05:12.061 --> 05:14.772 and Miss Eloise Bridgerton.
- 05:16.899 --> 05:18.234 [Eloise breathes heavily]
- 05:23.990 --> 05:24.907 It is here.
- 05:25.408 --> 05:27.285 [breathing heavily]
- 05:29.746 --> 05:31.039 [whispers] Smile.
- 05:40.590 --> 05:42.050 What is the meaning of this?
- 05:47.221 --> 05:48.348 [chuckles lightly]
- 05:49.223 --> 05:50.099 I've seen enough.
- 05:50.683 --> 05:53.353 -[man] But Your Majesty, there are still-- -I have seen enough!
- 05:55.313 --> 05:56.647 Does this mean I can go?
- 05:56.731 --> 05:58.483 I don't know what this means.
- 05:58.566 --> 06:00.276 -[Violet mutters quietly] -[gasps]
- 06:00.360 --> 06:01.319 Eloise.
- 06:13.664 --> 06:14.582 [chuckles]
- 06:15.291 --> 06:16.209 [scoffs lightly]
- 06:17.168 --> 06:19.879 Truly, I cannot say I will long for any of this.
- 06:21.130 --> 06:22.924 Best of luck to you, Brother.
- 06:23.633 --> 06:25.927 You shall certainly need it this season.
- 06:29.263 --> 06:32.225 [Lady Whistledown] <i>Dearest gentle reader.</i>
- 06:33.393 --> 06:34.894 <i>Did you miss me?</i>
- 07:42.378 --> 07:46.299 [Lady Whistledown] <i>As the members</i> <i>of our esteemed ton lazily sojourned</i>
- 07:46.382 --> 07:48.176 <i>in their rustic retreats,</i>
- 07:48.259 --> 07:51.429 <i>this author was doing but one thing.</i>
- 07:52.263 --> 07:53.973 I knew she would return!
- 07:54.056 --> 07:56.017 [Lady Whistledown] <i>Honing my skills.</i>
- 07:56.100 --> 07:57.560 Increased her price too, I see.
- 07:57.643 --> 08:00.855 [Lady Whistledown] <i>Or should I say,</i> <i>hatching my plans?</i>
- 08:01.814 --> 08:04.108 Is she truly that good a writer?
- 08:04.192 --> 08:05.193 [light chuckle]
- 08:05.276 --> 08:07.653 [Lady Whistledown] <i>No, even better.</i>
- 08:08.446 --> 08:11.491 <i>I was sharpening my knives…</i>
- 08:12.783 --> 08:14.577 -"For all of you." <i>-…for all of you.</i>
- 08:16.579 --> 08:18.080 How do you think she does it?
- 08:18.664 --> 08:21.250 Certainly not by herself. [chuckles] How could she?
- 08:21.334 --> 08:22.168 [woman] Oh.
- 08:41.062 --> 08:43.523 Eighteen? We agreed on 20.
- 08:43.606 --> 08:45.399 [in Irish accent] My mistress changed her mind.
- 08:46.567 --> 08:49.612 You're new to this arrangement, so I'll say this only once.
- 08:50.446 --> 08:53.199 What my mistress wants, she gets.
- 08:53.282 --> 08:55.660 For whatever reason, that would be you at the moment.
- 08:56.285 --> 08:58.663 That doesn't make you special, Mr. Harris.
- 08:58.746 --> 09:00.915 Printers in this town are ten-a-penny.
- 09:00.998 --> 09:02.583 But there's only one Lady Whistledown,
- 09:02.667 --> 09:05.002 and she could just as easily take her business elsewhere.
- 09:05.503 --> 09:06.796 So it's 18,
- 09:06.879 --> 09:07.922 not a penny more.
- 09:08.631 --> 09:11.133 And the delivery boys need a wage increase.
- 09:11.217 --> 09:14.220 They're running around town while you get to sit on your lazy arse.
- 09:14.303 --> 09:16.013 Yes, ma'am.
- 09:16.097 --> 09:18.057 Then my mistress thanks you for your services.
- 09:19.058 --> 09:24.313 [Lady Whistledown] <i>Questions abound</i> <i>as to this author's identity and means.</i>
- 09:24.397 --> 09:29.068 <i>Seeking those answers</i> <i>shall prove fruitless, indeed.</i>
- 09:31.320 --> 09:33.322 I am off to the market with my maid, Mama.
- 09:33.406 --> 09:35.616 I have just a tiny bit of pin money left, and I--
- 09:36.826 --> 09:40.997 [Lady Whistledown] <i>There is, of course,</i> <i>another unknown identity at present.</i>
- 09:41.080 --> 09:44.208 <i>Though, this one</i> <i>you will be able to unearth.</i>
- 09:44.292 --> 09:48.879 <i>I speak of the season's diamond,</i> <i>wherever she may be.</i>
- 09:48.963 --> 09:51.882 <i>Your move, Your Majesty.</i>
- 09:53.884 --> 09:56.220 [classical dance tune on piano]
- 10:05.187 --> 10:07.189 One and two. One and two.
- 10:09.775 --> 10:10.985 I do not think she's very good.
- 10:11.068 --> 10:13.070 -I believe she can hear you. -I can hear you.
- 10:14.614 --> 10:16.866 -Ow! Watch my feet! -Might we be done?
- 10:16.949 --> 10:20.995 If you are to catch the queen's eye after that interruption, you must be perfection.
- 10:21.078 --> 10:23.372 I believe it was the interruption that was perfection.
- 10:23.456 --> 10:27.084 Shocking that Eloise Bridgerton was not named the season diamond, was it not?
- 10:27.168 --> 10:29.837 Was anyone else aware that dear Colin has decided to add Albania
- 10:29.920 --> 10:32.673 or some such place to his itinerary as he gads about the world?
- 10:32.757 --> 10:35.468 No. But how happy for him that he can simply decide to do that.
- 10:35.551 --> 10:36.844 Joining us for tea, Anthony?
- 10:36.927 --> 10:40.264 Uh, I'm afraid I must pass. Too many calls on my funds today.
- 10:41.349 --> 10:42.767 Now that the season has started,
- 10:42.850 --> 10:46.896 I need to fill your coffers at the modiste and oversee the hiring of extra staff.
- 10:46.979 --> 10:48.856 Your ring. When you get the chance, I need it.
- 10:48.939 --> 10:51.567 The fields by Ferryhallow. I was thinking we might hold off
- 10:51.651 --> 10:53.319 on leasing them due to the hard frost.
- 10:53.402 --> 10:54.737 I beg your pardon?
- 10:54.820 --> 10:56.864 The frost hardens the soil, saps it of nutrients.
- 10:56.947 --> 10:59.450 That is very well. But you requested my ring?
- 10:59.533 --> 11:00.826 Father's betrothal ring.
- 11:00.910 --> 11:03.954 Did someone catch your eye at the presentation, Brother?
- 11:04.038 --> 11:05.915 I thought all the young ladies looked beautiful.
- 11:05.998 --> 11:08.751 Not particularly. And all the young ladies looked the same. Like ladies.
- 11:08.834 --> 11:11.712 I'd simply like to be prepared for when the opportunity presents itself.
- 11:11.796 --> 11:12.630 The opportunity?
- 11:12.713 --> 11:15.966 I've compiled an index of the season's eligible misses and arranged interviews.
- 11:16.050 --> 11:18.302 [chuckling] Interviews! [inhales]
- 11:19.553 --> 11:23.224 Dearest, I shall be more than happy to give you my ring when you find someone
- 11:23.307 --> 11:25.142 with whom you are very much in love.
- 11:25.226 --> 11:27.728 Besides, it is in safekeeping at Aubrey Hall.
- 11:27.812 --> 11:30.064 -Very well. -See that he is quite well.
- 11:30.147 --> 11:30.981 Me?
- 11:31.065 --> 11:32.483 I'm not in need of coddling.
- 11:33.192 --> 11:35.736 I assure you all, everything is in order.
- 11:36.904 --> 11:41.200 [classical rendition of "Stay Away" playing]
- 11:49.709 --> 11:51.460 Are you looking forward to being a mother?
- 11:51.544 --> 11:54.839 Oh, very much. I am quite close with my brothers and sisters.
- 11:54.922 --> 11:56.132 I love children.
- 11:56.215 --> 11:57.800 What number do you have in mind?
- 11:58.384 --> 11:59.385 Of children?
- 11:59.927 --> 12:03.514 Four. Or five. No. Perhaps six.
- 12:03.597 --> 12:05.975 Three children is what I have always wanted, my lord.
- 12:06.058 --> 12:08.102 If your daughter had a penchant for overspending,
- 12:08.185 --> 12:09.395 how would you deal with that?
- 12:09.478 --> 12:11.731 [whimsical classical music continues]
- 12:14.859 --> 12:17.862 We must secure a new lady's maid for Eloise, now that she is out.
- 12:18.362 --> 12:20.865 Ensure she is even more strong-willed than the last.
- 12:21.365 --> 12:23.033 -[clears throat] -What are those?
- 12:23.117 --> 12:26.245 Uh, accounts requiring your signature, my lord.
- 12:27.621 --> 12:29.832 The harp is a wonderful instrument, my lord,
- 12:29.915 --> 12:32.710 teaching one patience, strength,
- 12:32.793 --> 12:36.297 and an appreciation for beauty, of course. [chuckles]
- 12:37.256 --> 12:38.257 But do you read?
- 12:38.924 --> 12:40.092 Books?
- 12:44.597 --> 12:45.598 [exhales deeply]
- 12:59.820 --> 13:02.948 I am fluent in French, Italian, Latin.
- 13:03.908 --> 13:05.075 And your Greek?
- 13:08.037 --> 13:11.123 Apologies, my lord. I much prefer a quadrille.
- 13:12.541 --> 13:14.084 I ride. I paint.
- 13:14.168 --> 13:16.378 I sing. I dance.
- 13:16.462 --> 13:18.839 I can divide and multiply.
- 13:18.923 --> 13:20.966 I even construct my own hats.
- 13:43.364 --> 13:44.865 Five and twenty more, my lord.
- 13:48.118 --> 13:49.328 [coins clattering]
- 13:57.127 --> 13:59.463 [whimsical classical music fades]
- 14:01.382 --> 14:02.633 [quacking]
- 14:06.303 --> 14:07.847 [horse snorts]
- 14:12.017 --> 14:13.185 [distant horse neighs]
- 14:15.229 --> 14:16.063 Whoa, there!
- 14:16.146 --> 14:18.315 Miss, are you in trouble?
- 14:18.399 --> 14:20.109 -[horse neighing] -Come on.
- 14:41.755 --> 14:42.631 Come on.
- 14:57.980 --> 14:59.273 Careful, now!
- 15:00.900 --> 15:02.026 Whoa, there!
- 15:05.195 --> 15:06.155 [horse snorts]
- 15:06.864 --> 15:08.866 [distant horse neighs]
- 15:21.337 --> 15:23.505 [panting softly]
- 15:24.214 --> 15:25.549 [horse nickers]
- 15:26.425 --> 15:27.384 [sighs]
- 15:28.677 --> 15:29.720 Enjoying your victory lap?
- 15:29.803 --> 15:30.930 [speaks Hindi]
- 15:31.430 --> 15:34.391 You'll not be afforded such an ample head-start this time.
- 15:34.892 --> 15:36.143 Apologies, sir.
- 15:36.727 --> 15:39.063 I did not mean to cause anyone concern.
- 15:39.146 --> 15:41.315 Does your maid know you are riding astride?
- 15:41.398 --> 15:42.733 I have no maid.
- 15:42.816 --> 15:44.026 Then you're married.
- 15:46.028 --> 15:47.029 Forgive me.
- 15:48.072 --> 15:49.031 Then you are lost.
- 15:49.114 --> 15:51.325 I am not lost either. I'm on my way back to Mayfair.
- 15:51.408 --> 15:53.202 -It is just ahead. -Mayfair?
- 15:54.745 --> 15:55.579 Well, then--
- 15:55.663 --> 15:58.374 I appreciate your attention, sir, but I assure you I am perfectly safe.
- 15:58.457 --> 16:00.751 Perhaps we pretend this encounter never took place?
- 16:00.834 --> 16:02.878 You allow me to go my way, and you go yours.
- 16:04.004 --> 16:05.422 You worry about being seen.
- 16:05.506 --> 16:07.967 I worry about meeting strange men in parks at dawn
- 16:08.050 --> 16:10.219 who fail to leave me alone with their questions.
- 16:10.302 --> 16:12.137 Your secret is safe. I shall not tell a soul.
- 16:12.221 --> 16:13.263 How grateful I am.
- 16:13.764 --> 16:16.892 Losing races to strange women in such parks at dawn.
- 16:18.143 --> 16:20.479 I can only imagine the questions I would be asked.
- 16:20.562 --> 16:21.814 [both chuckle lightly]
- 16:22.314 --> 16:23.732 Is that what that was?
- 16:24.733 --> 16:26.527 -A race? -Was it not?
- 16:26.610 --> 16:28.946 Does one not need actual competition for a race?
- 16:29.029 --> 16:31.156 If we had decided on a finish line together,
- 16:31.240 --> 16:33.117 but alas, we made no such agreement.
- 16:33.200 --> 16:34.827 I see you are not one for losing.
- 16:35.411 --> 16:36.620 I shall have you--
- 16:39.248 --> 16:42.292 In the rare instances it occurs,
- 16:42.376 --> 16:44.628 I'd admit that I have either lost or am in the wrong.
- 16:44.712 --> 16:46.505 But I'm afraid the same cannot be said for you.
- 16:46.588 --> 16:48.799 -I beg your pardon? -Mayfair is not right ahead.
- 16:48.882 --> 16:50.175 It's the other way entirely.
- 16:50.676 --> 16:51.885 [men chattering]
- 16:51.969 --> 16:53.637 [Anthony] Not lost, you said?
- 16:57.099 --> 16:58.892 -Good day, sir. -[horse snorts]
- 16:58.976 --> 16:59.977 Let's go.
- 17:01.729 --> 17:03.188 We have not yet been introduced.
- 17:03.272 --> 17:06.608 I am afraid that is not possible. Not when I have a victory lap to enjoy.
- 17:06.692 --> 17:07.568 [chuckles]
- 17:08.444 --> 17:10.362 [horse whinnies]
- 17:19.663 --> 17:22.166 Well, what do you mean she was not in her room?
- 17:22.249 --> 17:25.127 I went to find her after awakening, but she was not there.
- 17:28.255 --> 17:30.007 [Lady Danbury] Lady Mary.
- 17:31.633 --> 17:32.676 Lady Danbury.
- 17:33.761 --> 17:35.721 Oh, how delightful it is to see you.
- 17:35.804 --> 17:36.930 And you.
- 17:37.514 --> 17:40.059 -After all these years. -[chuckles softly]
- 17:41.060 --> 17:42.436 You look well.
- 17:43.145 --> 17:46.065 Allow me to introduce to you my youngest,
- 17:46.148 --> 17:48.067 -Miss Edwina Sharma. -Ah.
- 17:48.150 --> 17:50.319 [Edwina] A true pleasure, Lady Danbury.
- 17:50.402 --> 17:52.946 I am so grateful for your hospitality.
- 17:53.030 --> 17:55.991 Your home, it is magnificent.
- 17:56.075 --> 17:58.410 Consider it yours for the season.
- 17:58.494 --> 18:01.538 Though, I was expecting another?
- 18:01.622 --> 18:03.665 Yes. My eldest.
- 18:03.749 --> 18:04.708 Kate.
- 18:04.792 --> 18:06.251 Kate. Yes.
- 18:07.503 --> 18:10.672 Well, she did get off the ship with you last night, did she not?
- 18:11.256 --> 18:12.841 -Apologies. -[Edwina] Kate!
- 18:12.925 --> 18:15.677 -There you are, dearest. -I hope I did not keep you waiting long.
- 18:15.761 --> 18:18.097 The gardens here are so lovely.
- 18:18.180 --> 18:19.973 After such a lengthy journey,
- 18:20.057 --> 18:23.185 I found that I wanted some freshness and morning air.
- 18:23.268 --> 18:25.395 But, uh… [clears throat] I am here now.
- 18:25.479 --> 18:28.732 My eldest, Lady Danbury. Miss Kate Sharma.
- 18:28.816 --> 18:30.109 [Lady Danbury] Hmm.
- 18:30.192 --> 18:32.277 Well, now that we are all arrived--
- 18:32.361 --> 18:33.362 [Kate] Almost.
- 18:33.445 --> 18:34.696 I beg your pardon?
- 18:34.780 --> 18:37.783 We have almost all arrived. There is also Newton.
- 18:37.866 --> 18:39.701 Is he still upstairs?
- 18:40.744 --> 18:41.620 [chuckles softly]
- 18:41.703 --> 18:43.747 [panting]
- 18:45.332 --> 18:49.211 Mama tells us you host the first ball of every season, Lady Danbury.
- 18:49.294 --> 18:52.506 Yes. I have appropriated a conservatory
- 18:52.589 --> 18:54.550 for this year's festivities.
- 18:54.633 --> 18:55.968 Did you hear that, Edwina?
- 18:56.802 --> 18:58.512 Well, that sounds delightful.
- 18:58.595 --> 19:02.474 It will make for a most spectacular entrance to society, indeed.
- 19:02.558 --> 19:04.935 I cannot tell you how eager the young ladies are
- 19:05.018 --> 19:06.228 for the upcoming season.
- 19:06.311 --> 19:07.479 As am I.
- 19:07.563 --> 19:11.191 I would've ensured their presentation to Her Majesty the Queen,
- 19:11.275 --> 19:14.736 but I thought it wise for me to examine their deportment
- 19:14.820 --> 19:16.738 prior to their first engagement.
- 19:16.822 --> 19:20.200 Her Majesty is most discerning, you understand.
- 19:20.784 --> 19:24.204 So Her Majesty will be in attendance, then, at the ball?
- 19:24.288 --> 19:26.915 Well, there is no reason for concern, Lady Mary.
- 19:26.999 --> 19:29.293 You will be with me, after all.
- 19:30.127 --> 19:31.044 Of course.
- 19:31.128 --> 19:33.463 Now, I have made all the arrangements.
- 19:33.547 --> 19:36.175 The pianoforte is tuned, the instructors hired.
- 19:36.258 --> 19:37.843 Dance lessons begin at noon,
- 19:37.926 --> 19:39.970 followed by a short but comprehensive visit
- 19:40.053 --> 19:42.389 from a lovely French tutor I have secured.
- 19:43.182 --> 19:44.933 Well, stand up.
- 19:45.851 --> 19:48.478 Both of you. Could you, uh-- [chuckles]
- 19:49.146 --> 19:50.731 [dog whimpers]
- 19:56.236 --> 19:58.614 Exceptional posture.
- 19:59.114 --> 20:00.824 Beautiful smiles.
- 20:00.908 --> 20:02.492 Yes, they are, quite.
- 20:02.576 --> 20:05.579 The age of the elder miss may raise concern.
- 20:05.662 --> 20:08.874 Any suitable gentleman will require some persuading,
- 20:08.957 --> 20:10.792 whether we like it or not,
- 20:10.876 --> 20:15.130 as she will already be regarded as an old maid at the mature age of…
- 20:15.214 --> 20:16.673 Six and twenty, ma'am.
- 20:16.757 --> 20:19.551 But it should truly be of no concern, as I assure you
- 20:19.635 --> 20:21.970 I am not here to find a husband for myself,
- 20:22.054 --> 20:24.848 only for my sister, who, indeed, stands quite tall
- 20:24.932 --> 20:26.975 and smiles rather exquisitely.
- 20:27.059 --> 20:29.770 Even more so when she speaks French, I rather think.
- 20:32.481 --> 20:36.235 [speaks French]
- 20:36.318 --> 20:38.612 [Kate] She is accomplished in both Latin and Greek,
- 20:38.695 --> 20:40.948 in addition to Marathi and Hindustani, of course.
- 20:41.031 --> 20:44.576 She not only plays sitar and maruli, but pianoforte too.
- 20:45.160 --> 20:47.120 And as for her dancing, well,
- 20:47.204 --> 20:49.873 it is quite remarkable, if I do say so myself.
- 20:49.957 --> 20:50.999 And I do say so,
- 20:51.083 --> 20:55.879 considering it was I who taught my sister the cotillion, the quadrille, the waltz.
- 20:55.963 --> 20:59.132 Self-taught, naturally, but still quite remarkable nonetheless.
- 20:59.216 --> 21:00.300 Hmm! Well--
- 21:00.384 --> 21:04.221 Kate feels quite passionately about her sister's prospects this season.
- 21:04.304 --> 21:07.849 I hope you did not go to too much trouble, finding all of those instructors?
- 21:07.933 --> 21:09.101 Not at all.
- 21:09.184 --> 21:11.603 My mama did not err in her description of you,
- 21:11.687 --> 21:14.481 a woman of such grace and kindness.
- 21:14.564 --> 21:16.775 I am sure we have much to learn from you,
- 21:16.858 --> 21:20.946 such as the preparation of this most excellent tea.
- 21:21.029 --> 21:22.489 [Lady Mary chuckles nervously]
- 21:23.407 --> 21:24.700 -Kate, dear? -Mm-hmm?
- 21:24.783 --> 21:26.326 Might Newton require a walk
- 21:26.410 --> 21:30.247 before he makes his mess all over these fine carpets?
- 21:30.330 --> 21:33.834 Indeed. Delighted to make your acquaintance, Lady Danbury.
- 21:33.917 --> 21:37.087 My sister and I do look forward to your sponsorship this season.
- 21:37.170 --> 21:38.213 [dog barks]
- 21:40.716 --> 21:43.719 Daphne provided me a list of recommendations
- 21:43.802 --> 21:45.304 for a successful season.
- 21:45.387 --> 21:48.807 Private advice regarding the top ten ways in which to entrap a man.
- 21:48.890 --> 21:49.766 I'm telling you, Pen,
- 21:49.850 --> 21:52.769 the season has barely begun and already I feel touched in the head.
- 21:52.853 --> 21:53.937 [Penelope laughs]
- 21:54.021 --> 21:57.649 Another quill? You do get through them at an extraordinary rate.
- 21:57.733 --> 22:01.153 I have been busy with my correspondence.
- 22:01.236 --> 22:03.363 -To the new heir? Is he here yet? -No.
- 22:03.447 --> 22:04.364 Oh.
- 22:04.448 --> 22:08.368 I only mean, Colin has been keeping me informed of his adventures in Greece.
- 22:08.452 --> 22:11.079 In fairness, I have stopped reading his letters. He rambles.
- 22:11.163 --> 22:13.165 -He's certainly no Lady Whistledown. -No.
- 22:14.124 --> 22:17.210 But, then again, Colin has, in fact, been somewhere, unlike her.
- 22:17.711 --> 22:19.671 Well, I thought you revered Whistledown.
- 22:19.755 --> 22:22.299 Did her arrival not save you from your presentation to the queen?
- 22:22.382 --> 22:24.843 I was delighted by the diversion, to be sure. But,
- 22:25.344 --> 22:26.803 I sat with her paper all morning,
- 22:26.887 --> 22:29.348 and in truth, all she does is repeat what she hears.
- 22:29.431 --> 22:32.184 Someone must report the gossip. Does she not have a way with words?
- 22:32.267 --> 22:33.810 But what is she saying with those words?
- 22:34.770 --> 22:37.272 Truly, I did not mind Whistledown's silence the last ten months,
- 22:37.356 --> 22:40.233 as it finally gave me some time to read a few articles of substance.
- 22:40.317 --> 22:41.318 [clears throat]
- 22:41.401 --> 22:45.530 "My own sex, I hope, will excuse me if I treat them like rational creatures,
- 22:45.614 --> 22:48.116 instead of flattering their fascinating graces."
- 22:48.200 --> 22:49.201 Wollstonecraft.
- 22:49.701 --> 22:51.703 Rather haughty.
- 22:51.787 --> 22:53.705 Imagine if Whistledown wrote like this,
- 22:53.789 --> 22:57.876 instead of simply turning our eye to every newly-minted debutante.
- 22:57.959 --> 22:59.586 Perhaps then we might find our respite
- 22:59.669 --> 23:01.838 from the tedious sequence of tea parties and balls.
- 23:01.922 --> 23:05.008 I rather think the only reason Whistledown writes about such things
- 23:05.092 --> 23:07.511 is because she is not an active participant in them.
- 23:07.594 --> 23:09.971 Oh. Everyone has their theory, I suppose.
- 23:10.055 --> 23:11.014 [Eloise] Mmm.
- 23:13.058 --> 23:17.020 Would you like me to prepare some potatoes for the ladies downstairs, ma'am?
- 23:17.104 --> 23:18.563 Potatoes? Again?
- 23:18.647 --> 23:20.732 Why are we always eating potatoes?
- 23:20.816 --> 23:25.404 Because these days, I am the housekeeper, lady's maid, scullery maid, and cook.
- 23:25.487 --> 23:27.155 Have all the staff truly departed?
- 23:27.239 --> 23:29.616 Though I am quite good at boiling the veg.
- 23:29.699 --> 23:32.119 Thank you, Mrs. Varley. Potatoes would be lovely.
- 23:32.202 --> 23:35.247 A season with no new dresses, nor servants.
- 23:35.330 --> 23:37.707 Are we to empty our own chamber pots too?
- 23:37.791 --> 23:39.668 -Mama, I cannot do that. -Calm yourselves.
- 23:40.168 --> 23:43.338 As I have told you, once the new Lord Featherington arrives,
- 23:43.422 --> 23:44.798 we will be provided for.
- 23:44.881 --> 23:48.218 Well, where is he? Why is he taking so long?
- 23:48.301 --> 23:51.346 Because he wishes to make us suffer.
- 23:52.264 --> 23:53.140 [sighs]
- 23:53.640 --> 23:55.809 The new Lord Featherington is off somewhere,
- 23:55.892 --> 23:57.561 delighting in our misfortune,
- 23:57.644 --> 23:59.521 because the man is as cruel as can be.
- 23:59.604 --> 24:02.065 I hear he cast his only son out to the Americas
- 24:02.149 --> 24:03.859 for daring to question his word.
- 24:03.942 --> 24:07.362 I tremble to think where he will send the rest of us if he has a mind.
- 24:07.446 --> 24:08.613 Cornwall, perhaps.
- 24:08.697 --> 24:10.282 Cornwall?
- 24:10.365 --> 24:13.743 Well, I suppose you may visit Mr. Finch and me.
- 24:13.827 --> 24:15.745 If there is nary a penny for new dresses or staff,
- 24:15.829 --> 24:16.997 there is none for her dowry.
- 24:17.080 --> 24:19.207 He shall prevent me from marrying?
- 24:19.291 --> 24:20.417 Of course not.
- 24:20.500 --> 24:23.628 The man may be an old, bitter curmudgeon, but he is a gentleman
- 24:23.712 --> 24:25.797 and he will keep a gentleman's agreement.
- 24:25.881 --> 24:30.427 Which is why we must waste no time in finding matches for the lot of you.
- 24:30.510 --> 24:32.846 Unless you are all betrothed by the time our cousin arrives
- 24:32.929 --> 24:36.266 to claim the Featherington estate, we shall be at his mercy.
- 24:36.349 --> 24:38.768 And then… heaven help us all.
- 24:42.105 --> 24:44.024 You could always sell the silverware.
- 24:44.524 --> 24:47.068 The dinner service should fetch a handsome price.
- 25:01.917 --> 25:03.919 Are you thinking of wearing that one?
- 25:04.419 --> 25:06.421 -[sighs] -It is quite beautiful.
- 25:06.505 --> 25:08.298 No. These are for you, Bon.
- 25:08.381 --> 25:11.051 We have come to London to find your husband, not mine.
- 25:11.134 --> 25:13.261 Yes. You are but a dear old maid.
- 25:13.345 --> 25:18.058 Ah. Who shall be perfectly happy doting on my many nieces and nephews one day soon.
- 25:18.141 --> 25:21.728 I shall spoil them exceedingly. You do know that, yes?
- 25:24.147 --> 25:25.106 What is it?
- 25:26.900 --> 25:27.734 I…
- 25:29.736 --> 25:32.030 only hope they like me tonight.
- 25:33.281 --> 25:34.574 How could they not?
- 25:37.619 --> 25:41.039 [sighs] Mama is doing that thing she always does when she is worried.
- 25:41.581 --> 25:43.375 The gossip she endured after marrying Appa
- 25:43.458 --> 25:45.377 had to have been unbearable, do you not think?
- 25:45.460 --> 25:48.713 Is this what troubles you? That was many years ago.
- 25:48.797 --> 25:50.799 Everyone will still have questions.
- 25:50.882 --> 25:53.593 About our family. About how you and I are related.
- 25:54.344 --> 25:55.554 We are sisters.
- 25:56.221 --> 25:57.889 This place may feel different,
- 25:57.973 --> 26:01.017 but it will never change the way you and I see each other.
- 26:01.977 --> 26:06.273 Besides, you heard Lady Danbury. She will smooth everything over.
- 26:06.356 --> 26:07.899 She is on <i>our </i>side.
- 26:08.858 --> 26:11.945 [sighs] The dowager is more formidable than I imagined.
- 26:12.737 --> 26:16.408 She will have your head when she learns of your secret morning ride.
- 26:16.992 --> 26:18.743 Are you certain no one saw you?
- 26:18.827 --> 26:20.245 Yes. Now, never mind her.
- 26:20.328 --> 26:22.872 The dowager is not half as frightening as she thinks she is.
- 26:22.956 --> 26:23.790 [chuckles]
- 26:24.666 --> 26:26.793 You must be excited.
- 26:26.876 --> 26:29.921 This is the first chapter of a happy story.
- 26:30.005 --> 26:31.631 All you have to do this evening
- 26:31.715 --> 26:33.842 is remember what it is you are looking for.
- 26:34.384 --> 26:35.468 Hmm.
- 26:35.552 --> 26:37.178 -Someone charming. -Mm-hmm.
- 26:38.471 --> 26:40.473 And handsome, of course.
- 26:40.557 --> 26:42.350 A prince or a duke, perhaps.
- 26:42.434 --> 26:45.312 It is not a man's appearance or title that will woo you.
- 26:45.395 --> 26:48.231 It is his mind and spirit that will court yours.
- 26:49.316 --> 26:51.943 He will speak in a manner that only your heart can hear.
- 26:54.154 --> 26:56.031 That is what you are looking for.
- 26:56.615 --> 26:58.658 That is the true love you deserve.
- 27:02.787 --> 27:03.788 [inhales]
- 27:07.250 --> 27:08.168 This one?
- 27:08.710 --> 27:10.837 -They will not be ready. -[Edwina chuckles]
- 27:10.920 --> 27:12.047 [Kate chuckles]
- 27:12.130 --> 27:15.133 [classical rendition of "Material Girl" playing]
- 27:40.825 --> 27:43.161 Just remember to breathe, Bon.
- 27:43.244 --> 27:44.329 [gasps softly] Ah.
- 27:47.123 --> 27:49.709 The Marquis of Ashdown.
- 27:49.793 --> 27:53.546 A little young, to be sure, but he has 10,000 a year.
- 27:54.130 --> 27:58.093 The Earl of Gloucester. His wife recently died of influenza.
- 27:58.677 --> 28:01.012 He might make a particularly estimable addition
- 28:01.096 --> 28:02.889 to your dance card this evening, Miss Sharma.
- 28:02.972 --> 28:05.850 I will not be taking to the floor tonight, Lady Danbury.
- 28:05.934 --> 28:08.603 Is there someone back home you've yet to tell me about?
- 28:08.687 --> 28:10.522 Come now. I am long past all of that.
- 28:10.605 --> 28:13.650 The only match I am interested in is for my sister.
- 28:13.733 --> 28:17.445 She trusts me implicitly. Now, what about the Duke of Suffolk?
- 28:17.529 --> 28:20.240 According to Debrett's, he should be quite the catch this year.
- 28:20.323 --> 28:22.242 The duke flaunts his mistresses.
- 28:22.325 --> 28:25.954 I assure you, Miss Sharma, I have our prospects well in hand.
- 28:26.037 --> 28:26.996 [gasps softly] Ah.
- 28:27.080 --> 28:28.873 There she is.
- 28:32.794 --> 28:34.337 So many flowers,
- 28:35.213 --> 28:37.632 when what I really seek is a gem.
- 28:38.425 --> 28:39.426 Oh.
- 28:40.051 --> 28:41.594 So soon, Lady Danbury?
- 28:44.514 --> 28:48.059 Lady Danbury. A delightful soiree, as expected.
- 28:48.143 --> 28:51.479 Though my own later this week will be much more exclusive.
- 28:51.563 --> 28:54.733 Your Majesty, I would not think to compare.
- 28:54.816 --> 28:56.234 And rightly so.
- 28:56.317 --> 28:59.612 Your Majesty, may I present Lady Mary Sharma,
- 28:59.696 --> 29:01.448 whom you must remember.
- 29:01.531 --> 29:03.742 And may I present her daughters,
- 29:03.825 --> 29:07.036 Miss Sharma and Miss Edwina Sharma,
- 29:07.120 --> 29:09.914 my personal special guests for the season.
- 29:09.998 --> 29:11.750 A high honor, indeed.
- 29:11.833 --> 29:14.043 I hear you have made quite a journey
- 29:14.127 --> 29:16.796 to join us again after all these years, Lady Mary.
- 29:16.880 --> 29:18.757 If only you had extended the courtesy
- 29:18.840 --> 29:21.718 of offering your queen a final farewell before you left.
- 29:25.889 --> 29:29.976 Oh, I do relish a challenge.
- 29:35.482 --> 29:36.566 [song ends]
- 29:39.444 --> 29:40.820 [Violet chuckles]
- 29:41.404 --> 29:42.405 [Eloise sighs]
- 29:43.198 --> 29:45.241 Stop fussing with your dress.
- 29:45.325 --> 29:46.326 You look lovely, dear.
- 29:46.409 --> 29:48.453 I look like a prize calf, trussed up for auction.
- 29:48.536 --> 29:49.746 [Benedict moos]
- 29:49.829 --> 29:51.456 Even Daphne felt most apprehensive
- 29:51.539 --> 29:54.292 at her first official ball, and look how well her season turned out.
- 29:54.375 --> 29:55.210 Oh, right.
- 29:55.293 --> 29:56.586 [Violet chuckles] Oh.
- 29:56.669 --> 29:59.672 Come, Sister. The cakes at these occasions are surprisingly good.
- 29:59.756 --> 30:01.466 [hesitates] Uh… Uh…
- 30:04.552 --> 30:06.596 It truly is a sparse crop.
- 30:06.679 --> 30:09.682 Oh, I am sure there is someone here who will charm you.
- 30:10.475 --> 30:14.896 After all, this is the season the viscount intends to find a wife.
- 30:16.481 --> 30:18.983 -You honestly just did that? -I believe I did.
- 30:19.067 --> 30:20.819 -Lady Bridgerton. -[Violet chuckles]
- 30:20.902 --> 30:22.237 Lord Bridgerton.
- 30:22.320 --> 30:24.614 -Dance, please, Lord Bridgerton? -[Anthony] Good evening.
- 30:25.114 --> 30:27.492 [classical music playing]
- 30:29.619 --> 30:32.413 Is that Lady Mary Sheffield Sharma?
- 30:32.497 --> 30:34.916 I can't believe she would show her face here again.
- 30:34.999 --> 30:36.626 A scandal, Mama?
- 30:36.709 --> 30:39.087 Lady Mary was the incomparable of our season,
- 30:39.170 --> 30:42.841 until she fell in love with and married some kind of clerk, I hear.
- 30:42.924 --> 30:45.385 The two of them absconded to India thereafter.
- 30:45.468 --> 30:48.638 A maharajah I would have understood,
- 30:48.721 --> 30:52.684 but the man was no more than a common worker who already had a child.
- 30:52.767 --> 30:54.060 That must be her.
- 30:54.143 --> 30:55.478 The older one.
- 30:55.562 --> 30:59.148 Lady Mary's parents, the Sheffields, never lived down the shame, did they?
- 30:59.232 --> 31:01.526 Too ashamed to show their faces in London.
- 31:01.609 --> 31:04.320 If only every family could be as respectable as ours.
- 31:04.404 --> 31:06.614 [chuckles softly] Yes, Lady Featherington?
- 31:09.826 --> 31:11.286 [gasps softly] Dearest!
- 31:11.369 --> 31:12.328 My love.
- 31:19.419 --> 31:20.253 Hmm.
- 31:20.753 --> 31:22.297 Mr. and Mrs. Finch.
- 31:22.380 --> 31:24.632 Lady Featherington.
- 31:24.716 --> 31:27.760 It is a delightful surprise to see you in attendance.
- 31:27.844 --> 31:30.430 After such a long mourning period.
- 31:30.513 --> 31:33.224 Almost as long as our son has been courting Philippa,
- 31:33.308 --> 31:34.851 if you can imagine.
- 31:34.934 --> 31:36.019 [chuckles] Yes.
- 31:36.603 --> 31:39.731 It has been a difficult time, indeed.
- 31:39.814 --> 31:42.400 Darkness has been our candle in recent months.
- 31:42.483 --> 31:44.402 Mmm. Have you come unaccompanied?
- 31:44.485 --> 31:46.613 Or has the new heir finally come to manage
- 31:46.696 --> 31:48.948 this unsettled business of your daughter's dowry?
- 31:51.868 --> 31:54.746 "Unsettled." That is the precise word, Mr. Finch,
- 31:54.829 --> 31:57.081 because I, too, have been… [sighs]
- 31:57.165 --> 31:59.125 …very unsettled, indeed.
- 31:59.709 --> 32:02.795 Shaken to the bone, in fact, by…
- 32:02.879 --> 32:04.505 [tearfully] …by grief.
- 32:04.589 --> 32:07.800 Missing my dear, dear, very dead husband.
- 32:07.884 --> 32:10.094 -[feigns sobbing] -I told you it was too soon!
- 32:10.178 --> 32:12.597 You told me you wished for the boy to be out of the house!
- 32:14.223 --> 32:17.101 Our apologies, Lady Featherington.
- 32:17.602 --> 32:20.855 Do let us know when you are more… settled.
- 32:20.939 --> 32:22.357 -Yes? -[feigns sobbing]
- 32:23.566 --> 32:24.567 [sniffles]
- 32:34.535 --> 32:35.536 [song ends]
- 32:35.620 --> 32:36.955 -Number eight? -Yes.
- 32:37.038 --> 32:38.498 I know that gentleman.
- 32:38.998 --> 32:41.250 -Who? -The viscount?
- 32:41.834 --> 32:44.963 I do not believe I have yet made an introduction.
- 32:45.046 --> 32:46.089 Of course.
- 32:46.965 --> 32:48.549 It must be my mistake.
- 32:48.633 --> 32:50.677 Though you have quite the eye.
- 32:50.760 --> 32:54.055 Viscount Bridgerton is wealthy, well-connected,
- 32:54.138 --> 32:57.433 and from one of the ton's most illustrious families.
- 32:57.517 --> 32:59.560 Apparently hoping to marry this season,
- 32:59.644 --> 33:03.773 he may very well be our most eligible bachelor, indeed.
- 33:03.856 --> 33:05.149 He is very handsome.
- 33:05.233 --> 33:06.109 Yes.
- 33:07.402 --> 33:08.695 I suppose he is.
- 33:09.445 --> 33:13.658 Lord Corning. I was hoping to see you this evening.
- 33:13.741 --> 33:17.203 Allow me to introduce Miss Sharma
- 33:17.745 --> 33:20.164 and Miss Edwina Sharma.
- 33:20.790 --> 33:24.293 It is a pleasure. Miss Edwina, would you honor me with a dance?
- 33:24.377 --> 33:25.670 Corning, you said?
- 33:25.753 --> 33:27.380 The Baron Corning.
- 33:31.259 --> 33:33.011 I would be delighted, my lord.
- 33:34.721 --> 33:36.723 [classical music plays]
- 33:38.641 --> 33:41.853 I do not recall reading of Corning's family in my research.
- 33:41.936 --> 33:45.273 It does not matter what you have and have not read.
- 33:45.356 --> 33:47.400 It is unacceptable here
- 33:47.483 --> 33:49.777 for a lady to decline a dance with a gentleman
- 33:49.861 --> 33:52.655 unless she's already reserved by another.
- 33:53.156 --> 33:55.992 I see we have much to learn.
- 33:56.075 --> 33:57.076 [cane taps]
- 34:04.625 --> 34:05.752 Spanish dance?
- 34:05.835 --> 34:07.628 [indistinct conversation]
- 34:11.674 --> 34:14.469 And they say Millerson has a whelp in the country.
- 34:14.552 --> 34:16.304 Spitting image of his father.
- 34:18.806 --> 34:19.807 There you are.
- 34:19.891 --> 34:22.977 Oh, Pen, I'm so glad to see you. Mama is already being insufferable.
- 34:23.061 --> 34:25.521 At least she did not see fit to dress you as a sunflower.
- 34:25.605 --> 34:27.732 I declare a bee might mistake me for the real thing.
- 34:27.815 --> 34:30.735 Miss Bridgerton. May I request your next dance?
- 34:30.818 --> 34:32.737 Or I might accompany you to fetch some lemonade?
- 34:32.820 --> 34:34.864 -You seem parched. -How can you tell? Is she wilting?
- 34:34.947 --> 34:36.074 Or punch, if you prefer?
- 34:36.157 --> 34:38.367 -A plant pun, if you're wondering. -Apologies, gentlemen.
- 34:38.451 --> 34:40.912 I regret to inform you that my dance card is already full.
- 34:40.995 --> 34:41.996 [clears throat]
- 34:45.875 --> 34:48.961 Lord Byron? Wellington? Eloise, these names are false!
- 34:49.045 --> 34:51.339 I am merely following my sister's valuable advice.
- 34:51.422 --> 34:53.341 She told me that it is of the utmost importance
- 34:53.424 --> 34:55.968 for a lady's dance card to be filled with all of the right names.
- 34:56.052 --> 34:57.428 -[both laugh] -[Violet] Eloise?
- 34:57.512 --> 34:59.430 There you are, dear. [chuckles]
- 34:59.514 --> 35:02.100 Come. There is someone I would like you to meet.
- 35:02.183 --> 35:03.434 [Eloise groans softly]
- 35:05.686 --> 35:08.731 [classical rendition of "Diamonds" playing]
- 36:03.744 --> 36:05.538 -[exhales deeply] -[man] Bridgerton!
- 36:11.043 --> 36:12.378 I owe you a drink.
- 36:12.461 --> 36:13.337 Whatever for?
- 36:13.421 --> 36:16.799 With you as the prize catch of the season, the rest of us shall receive a respite
- 36:16.883 --> 36:19.218 from the marriage-minded mamas this season, indeed.
- 36:19.302 --> 36:21.345 Enjoy your freedom while it lasts.
- 36:21.429 --> 36:24.599 You, too, will soon submit to this ridiculous rigmarole of courtship.
- 36:25.183 --> 36:28.978 Squiring every eligible miss around town until you're barely able to see straight.
- 36:29.061 --> 36:31.147 Is one lady unlike any other?
- 36:31.230 --> 36:34.442 Simply pick the least objectionable and get her wed, bed, and bred.
- 36:34.525 --> 36:36.903 Then you can return to more pleasurable pursuits.
- 36:36.986 --> 36:39.322 And more pleasurable partners. [chuckles]
- 36:39.405 --> 36:42.241 You may be cavalier, but if I must leg-shackle myself in marriage,
- 36:42.700 --> 36:44.994 the lady in question should have more to recommend her.
- 36:45.077 --> 36:46.871 Do not tell us you are hoping for a love match?
- 36:46.954 --> 36:48.581 [Anthony] Love is the last thing I desire.
- 36:49.123 --> 36:50.958 But if my children are to be of good stock,
- 36:51.042 --> 36:53.419 then their mother must be of impeccable quality.
- 36:53.502 --> 36:55.671 A pleasing face, an acceptable wit,
- 36:56.422 --> 36:58.633 genteel manners enough to credit a viscountess.
- 36:58.716 --> 36:59.884 It should not be hard to find.
- 37:00.468 --> 37:03.346 And yet, the debutantes of London fall short at every turn.
- 37:03.429 --> 37:06.891 You want the best. Perhaps the queen will finally name a diamond.
- 37:06.974 --> 37:09.602 Save you some trouble. At least, of choosing her.
- 37:09.685 --> 37:11.771 Wooing the piece will be a different story, indeed.
- 37:11.854 --> 37:13.272 I shall have no problem there.
- 37:13.356 --> 37:14.815 [all chuckle]
- 37:16.150 --> 37:18.402 -Smoking room, gentlemen? -I shall be there anon.
- 37:28.871 --> 37:30.122 [clattering]
- 37:31.290 --> 37:32.500 [Anthony] Is someone there?
- 37:38.005 --> 37:39.048 I can hear y…
- 37:42.468 --> 37:43.302 you.
- 37:44.262 --> 37:45.513 Pardon me, my lord.
- 37:46.055 --> 37:47.598 I never got your name.
- 37:48.766 --> 37:50.434 I was wondering if we'd meet again.
- 37:50.518 --> 37:52.603 So you might discern if my wit is acceptable,
- 37:52.687 --> 37:53.729 my manners genteel?
- 37:54.605 --> 37:55.690 You were eavesdropping?
- 37:55.773 --> 37:56.983 It was hardly an effort,
- 37:57.066 --> 37:59.860 seeing as you were proclaiming your many requirements for a wife
- 37:59.944 --> 38:01.654 loud enough for the entire party to hear.
- 38:01.737 --> 38:02.822 You take issue with them?
- 38:02.905 --> 38:06.117 I take issue with any man who views women merely as chattels and breeding stock.
- 38:06.200 --> 38:07.159 None of that was meant--
- 38:07.243 --> 38:08.661 Viscount Bridgerton, yes?
- 38:08.744 --> 38:11.080 When you manage to find this paragon of virtue,
- 38:11.163 --> 38:14.000 whatever makes you think <i>she</i> will accept<i> your </i>suit?
- 38:14.083 --> 38:17.169 Are the young ladies of London truly so easily won
- 38:17.253 --> 38:19.672 by a pleasing smile and absolutely nothing more?
- 38:19.755 --> 38:21.215 So, you find my smile pleasing.
- 38:21.299 --> 38:23.259 I find your opinion of yourself entirely too high.
- 38:23.843 --> 38:27.054 Your character is as deficient as your horsemanship.
- 38:27.138 --> 38:28.597 I shall bid you good night.
- 38:47.325 --> 38:48.409 [Eloise] Ah. Pen!
- 38:48.993 --> 38:50.995 Pen. Are you going somewhere?
- 38:51.078 --> 38:55.374 I was… just getting some air. It is so very stifling in the ballroom.
- 38:55.458 --> 38:56.417 [scoffs]
- 38:56.500 --> 38:59.045 -The air or the dreary conversation? -[chuckles]
- 38:59.670 --> 39:01.964 I do suppose this is the one benefit of being out.
- 39:02.048 --> 39:04.967 I have you to run off with. We shall never have to be alone.
- 39:05.051 --> 39:06.093 [chuckles]
- 39:06.635 --> 39:08.220 My thoughts exactly.
- 39:13.017 --> 39:15.353 Have you seen your brother or your sister?
- 39:15.436 --> 39:17.646 They managed to escape you? Good for them.
- 39:20.566 --> 39:23.736 Lady Danbury. [chuckles] Splendid evening.
- 39:23.819 --> 39:25.404 For the most part.
- 39:25.488 --> 39:28.532 There are a few guests whose absence I might not have regretted.
- 39:28.616 --> 39:30.618 [laughs] I do hope I am not one of them.
- 39:30.701 --> 39:33.371 You and I have common interests this season, it seems.
- 39:33.454 --> 39:36.040 I heard. Your wards, I look forward to meeting them.
- 39:36.123 --> 39:38.376 And I look forward to showing these other mamas
- 39:38.459 --> 39:40.336 how the game <i>ought </i>to be played.
- 39:40.419 --> 39:43.923 Though, it appears you have already stoked the fire by informing them
- 39:44.006 --> 39:46.384 of the viscount's intentions for this season.
- 39:46.467 --> 39:48.886 My son said he was ready. Who am I to question it?
- 39:48.969 --> 39:51.097 They all must come around eventually, I suppose.
- 39:51.180 --> 39:52.640 Lady Danbury, we wish to leave.
- 39:52.723 --> 39:54.433 Miss Sharma, allow me to introduce you--
- 39:54.517 --> 39:56.894 Charmed. My mama is already in our carriage.
- 39:56.977 --> 39:58.312 We will see you at home.
- 39:59.021 --> 40:02.358 People are watching, my dear. You are clearly upset--
- 40:02.441 --> 40:04.860 What is clear is we are woefully unprepared
- 40:04.944 --> 40:07.822 to navigate this lion's den. I am sure Edwina's absence
- 40:07.905 --> 40:10.074 will only make her that much more desirable.
- 40:10.908 --> 40:13.702 It truly was a magnificent soiree, Lady Danbury.
- 40:13.786 --> 40:15.371 We are most grateful.
- 40:18.749 --> 40:19.667 Well,
- 40:20.251 --> 40:23.295 it would seem both of us may have our hands full this year.
- 40:23.379 --> 40:25.423 Not if I have something to say about it.
- 40:25.506 --> 40:30.177 And as you very well know, I always have something to say.
- 40:30.261 --> 40:31.178 [chuckles softly]
- 40:33.347 --> 40:35.057 Delightful evening, Mama!
- 40:35.141 --> 40:36.225 Night, Sisters!
- 40:36.308 --> 40:38.060 [Lady Featherington] Good night, young ladies!
- 40:38.561 --> 40:39.562 [doors closing]
- 40:42.481 --> 40:43.899 [breathing heavily]
- 40:44.400 --> 40:45.359 [sighs]
- 41:30.404 --> 41:32.448 -Can you go any faster? -[driver] Yes, miss!
- 41:41.999 --> 41:44.251 Lawks, I thought you weren't coming.
- 41:44.335 --> 41:46.629 [in Irish accent] My mistress apologizes for the delay.
- 41:46.712 --> 41:48.589 This is for today. It must print before noon.
- 41:48.672 --> 41:49.757 [scoffs]
- 41:51.675 --> 41:53.260 Last edition's takings, yes?
- 41:54.011 --> 41:57.097 800 copies at five pence apiece, sold for eight pence each,
- 41:57.181 --> 42:00.392 minus the delivery boys' wages, there should be eleven pounds,
- 42:00.476 --> 42:01.936 two shillings here altogether.
- 42:02.019 --> 42:04.230 My mistress is willing to take an even ten.
- 42:04.313 --> 42:06.815 You get to keep the surplus for your rapid service.
- 42:06.899 --> 42:11.445 These delays will be more frequent now due to an… unforeseen circumstance,
- 42:11.529 --> 42:13.239 so, it's really a bargain.
- 42:18.744 --> 42:20.871 [Lady Whistledown] <i>There is nothing quite like</i>
- 42:20.955 --> 42:24.291 <i>the sweet-scented smell of success.</i>
- 42:24.375 --> 42:27.753 <i>But after taking in the scene</i> <i>from last night's festivities,</i>
- 42:27.836 --> 42:32.174 <i>it is clear the season won't be</i> <i>quite so fragrant for everyone.</i>
- 42:35.678 --> 42:38.347 <i>The Viscount Bridgerton's own mama</i>
- 42:38.430 --> 42:41.183 <i>may have loudly declared her eldest son's</i>
- 42:41.267 --> 42:43.185 <i>lofty intentions to marry,</i>
- 42:43.811 --> 42:46.397 <i>yet I cannot be the only one wondering</i>
- 42:46.480 --> 42:49.692 <i>if this former Capital-R-Rake</i>
- 42:49.775 --> 42:52.444 <i>is, indeed, ready to flourish.</i>
- 42:55.489 --> 42:58.492 <i>Perhaps the viscount, like the rest of us,</i>
- 42:58.576 --> 43:03.372 <i>is simply waiting for the queen</i> <i>to finally name her diamond.</i>
- 43:03.455 --> 43:05.708 <i>Or perhaps this author</i>
- 43:05.791 --> 43:08.669 <i>should take matters into her own hands.</i>
- 43:08.752 --> 43:11.213 I shall not be hustled into making my selection.
- 43:11.297 --> 43:12.339 Not by anyone.
- 43:12.423 --> 43:13.716 Of course, Your Majesty.
- 43:13.799 --> 43:14.967 Take this away.
- 43:15.050 --> 43:17.428 And bring me a list of the peerage.
- 43:26.020 --> 43:27.813 Some tea, my lord?
- 43:27.896 --> 43:29.898 Perhaps some warm milk may be better.
- 43:30.482 --> 43:31.984 Oh! Are those marbles?
- 43:32.651 --> 43:33.736 What fun!
- 43:35.029 --> 43:36.447 Might I go and read now?
- 43:37.531 --> 43:40.826 [Lady Whistledown] <i>Though,</i> <i>of the many purportedly well-trained</i>
- 43:40.909 --> 43:44.288 <i>and bred hothouse flowers</i> <i>on display this year,</i>
- 43:44.913 --> 43:47.416 <i>this author must wonder</i>
- 43:47.499 --> 43:51.712 <i>if a more surprising choice</i> <i>might still be in store.</i>
- 43:53.422 --> 43:56.133 The younger one would do, if the eldest just got out of the way.
- 43:56.216 --> 43:57.843 [man 2] The sister is dreadful.
- 44:02.890 --> 44:03.891 [dog barks]
- 44:03.974 --> 44:05.643 [Lady Danbury] Not on my chair!

- 44:27.456 --> 44:28.415 [snorting chuckle]
- 44:28.499 --> 44:31.543 It is rather clever the way she uses plant puns to belittle.
- 44:31.627 --> 44:32.711 [laughter]
- 44:32.795 --> 44:34.129 Clever indeed!
- 44:35.047 --> 44:37.132 The candlesticks, see what they're worth.
- 44:38.008 --> 44:39.176 [Varley] Yes, ma'am.
- 44:43.430 --> 44:46.475 -[classical piano tune playing] -[Violet chuckles] There. You see?
- 44:48.602 --> 44:49.978 Lady Goring was quite taken
- 44:50.062 --> 44:52.481 with Eloise's dress last night, Madame Delacroix.
- 44:52.564 --> 44:56.193 She would keep saying how well it complemented her complexion.
- 44:56.985 --> 44:59.029 She said you reminded her of Daphne, dearest.
- 44:59.113 --> 45:01.115 I am not Daphne.
- 45:02.074 --> 45:03.742 -This is the one. -Ah.
- 45:03.826 --> 45:05.786 With pleasure, Lady Bridgerton.
- 45:05.869 --> 45:06.787 [clears throat]
- 45:10.124 --> 45:13.210 You do know, Eloise, that you might enjoy the next ball
- 45:13.293 --> 45:14.962 if you, in fact, danced with someone.
- 45:15.838 --> 45:18.298 Meeting new people, it can be thrilling.
- 45:18.382 --> 45:21.468 Yes, it certainly seemed as though Anthony had a thrilling time.
- 45:21.552 --> 45:24.054 Swept away by many a nimble-footed young lady, Brother?
- 45:24.138 --> 45:26.223 I can still barely feel my toes.
- 45:26.306 --> 45:28.392 I thought you ladies were taught to dance.
- 45:28.475 --> 45:31.186 I thought you gentlemen capable of worthwhile conversation.
- 45:31.270 --> 45:33.188 How sad both of our hopes were dashed.
- 45:35.941 --> 45:38.402 I think Eloise would make a brilliant diamond.
- 45:38.485 --> 45:40.529 I could not agree more, Hyacinth.
- 45:40.612 --> 45:43.574 Perhaps Her Majesty will take note at her ball tomorrow night.
- 45:44.074 --> 45:46.034 -I despise you. -[chuckling]
- 45:49.246 --> 45:50.247 Madame Delacroix.
- 45:50.914 --> 45:52.624 I didn't know you were back in town.
- 45:52.708 --> 45:53.834 Bien sûr!
- 45:53.917 --> 45:56.962 Who else could dress these delicate debutantes for the season?
- 45:57.045 --> 45:57.963 [Benedict chuckles]
- 45:59.047 --> 46:01.300 Does that mean I shall see you later on tonight?
- 46:02.050 --> 46:03.802 I hear there's a party.
- 46:05.262 --> 46:08.432 I have much work to do, Mr. Bridgerton,
- 46:09.057 --> 46:12.269 and my art must come before all else.
- 46:13.437 --> 46:14.938 Enjoy your time.
- 46:19.693 --> 46:20.527 Brother.
- 46:26.074 --> 46:29.870 Are you and the modiste still, uh, making a stitch?
- 46:29.953 --> 46:31.830 Apparently not. Have you found a wife yet?
- 46:31.914 --> 46:34.666 Or are you planning to offend every girl until there are none left?
- 46:34.750 --> 46:35.626 Is Mother aware?
- 46:35.709 --> 46:38.295 -Aware of what? -I'm off to deal with our solicitor.
- 46:39.254 --> 46:41.131 Have fun with your pretty pictures, Brother.
- 46:45.135 --> 46:46.804 -[Violet] Anthony? -[door closes]
- 46:48.722 --> 46:53.018 There were some lovely young ladies in attendance last night, were there not?
- 46:53.602 --> 46:55.771 Lady Delilah has beautiful manners,
- 46:55.854 --> 46:59.566 and I hear Miss Goodrum is very accomplished in her needlework.
- 46:59.650 --> 47:01.485 Perhaps you shall get to know them better soon.
- 47:01.568 --> 47:03.737 Lady Delilah can barely string a sentence together,
- 47:03.821 --> 47:07.115 and Miss Goodrum thought that Napoleon fights for the Spanish.
- 47:07.616 --> 47:09.785 As for every other eager chit you pushed in my direction,
- 47:09.868 --> 47:11.453 I'd happily never lay eyes on them again.
- 47:11.537 --> 47:13.372 -Anthony-- -I am looking for perfection, Mother.
- 47:13.455 --> 47:14.623 And you should be too.
- 47:14.706 --> 47:17.709 The woman I marry shall be the Viscountess Bridgerton.
- 47:17.793 --> 47:20.504 The lady of this household, responsible for launching my sisters
- 47:20.587 --> 47:21.797 and bearing my children.
- 47:22.464 --> 47:24.174 Do you desire them to be raised by a woman
- 47:24.258 --> 47:27.010 who does not know how to so much as hold a map right side up?
- 47:28.470 --> 47:30.347 This is the duty I must fulfill.
- 47:33.684 --> 47:35.310 You will end up alone
- 47:36.228 --> 47:38.063 with such expectations.
- 47:43.402 --> 47:44.403 Good day, Mother.
- 47:53.620 --> 47:57.082 -[Prudence singing scales in distance] -[creaking in hallway]
- 47:57.165 --> 47:58.750 -[coin clinks] -[clattering]
- 47:58.834 --> 48:03.130 [Prudence] <i>♪ La-la-la-la-la-la-la ♪</i>
- 48:03.213 --> 48:04.464 [knock at door]
- 48:07.801 --> 48:09.803 Why is it so quiet in here?
- 48:10.345 --> 48:11.638 Because I am alone?
- 48:12.264 --> 48:13.724 Reading, as I always do.
- 48:14.224 --> 48:16.935 [sighs deeply] You are so boring.
- 48:17.561 --> 48:22.649 I will be perfectly putrefied if Philippa does manage to marry Finch.
- 48:22.733 --> 48:26.153 "Petrified." The word is "petrified."
- 48:29.239 --> 48:30.115 What is that?
- 48:30.198 --> 48:31.283 What is what?
- 48:31.783 --> 48:33.702 -What you are writing. -I am not writing.
- 48:33.785 --> 48:34.661 But you were.
- 48:34.745 --> 48:36.788 Prudence. Do not-- Hand it back!
- 48:36.872 --> 48:39.207 Why, you little devil-doll!
- 48:39.291 --> 48:41.710 This is what occupies your "quiet" time?
- 48:41.793 --> 48:44.254 What are you ladies doing, still up?
- 48:45.005 --> 48:46.048 Penelope was writing…
- 48:47.758 --> 48:49.301 to Colin Bridgerton.
- 48:50.218 --> 48:52.638 Well, that would explain the ink all over her fingers.
- 48:52.721 --> 48:54.139 I declare, Penelope.
- 48:54.222 --> 48:55.891 -Colin is my friend! -[giggles]
- 48:55.974 --> 48:59.227 As if he would ever waste his ink on someone like you.
- 48:59.311 --> 49:01.063 -Are these worth anything? -What?
- 49:01.688 --> 49:04.691 Your books. Books can be worth something, can they not?
- 49:04.775 --> 49:06.068 I do not think so, Mama.
- 49:06.151 --> 49:07.444 Oh, pity.
- 49:09.655 --> 49:11.365 You must stop wasting your precious time
- 49:11.448 --> 49:14.284 on such pointless pursuits as writing silly letters.
- 49:15.077 --> 49:19.873 Colin Bridgerton is no more your friend than I am the next Catherine the Great.
- 49:21.083 --> 49:24.378 Now, wipe your hands, lest someone should think you a commoner.
- 49:30.676 --> 49:31.802 [door closes]
- 49:36.139 --> 49:37.182 [sighs]
- 49:43.480 --> 49:44.481 Ma'am.
- 49:45.232 --> 49:46.316 A letter for you.
- 49:49.987 --> 49:51.029 [door opens]
- 49:58.787 --> 50:01.164 Your tea grows cold.
- 50:01.748 --> 50:03.917 My horses do not.
- 50:04.418 --> 50:07.587 Did you plan to ride again tomorrow morning?
- 50:10.966 --> 50:13.635 I know all that goes on in my home.
- 50:14.344 --> 50:17.097 And since you insist on sneaking around,
- 50:17.639 --> 50:19.933 I may as well save us both the trouble.
- 50:20.434 --> 50:23.812 Correspondence from your grandparents, the Sheffields.
- 50:23.895 --> 50:25.397 I wrote to them before you arrived.
- 50:25.480 --> 50:28.150 Those people are not my grandparents, Lady Danbury.
- 50:28.233 --> 50:30.485 I have no relation to them whatsoever, in fact.
- 50:31.528 --> 50:35.741 It seems you have not been straightforward with me.
- 50:35.824 --> 50:39.369 I realize I should not have gone out for a morning ride without a chaperone.
- 50:39.453 --> 50:41.455 And what about failing to tell me
- 50:41.538 --> 50:44.374 why you have <i>truly</i> come to London with your sister?
- 50:45.042 --> 50:47.127 I'm rather more concerned about that.
- 50:49.421 --> 50:51.465 We have come to find Edwina a husband.
- 50:52.382 --> 50:53.884 And is that all?
- 50:54.551 --> 50:56.595 You would be wise to reconsider
- 50:56.678 --> 50:59.639 resorting to more forgeries and half-truths, Miss Sharma.
- 51:00.557 --> 51:05.145 Very few attempt to outwit me, and even fewer succeed.
- 51:05.896 --> 51:09.775 You are living under my roof, under my care,
- 51:09.858 --> 51:13.195 relying on my good name, my connections, my money.
- 51:13.695 --> 51:17.657 I vouched for you and your sister in front of Her Majesty the Queen,
- 51:17.741 --> 51:18.950 all because
- 51:20.035 --> 51:24.372 I thought I was paying a kindness to an old friend--
- 51:24.456 --> 51:27.501 And we are truly grateful for everything.
- 51:28.627 --> 51:32.297 Your mama misses your father, naturally.
- 51:32.798 --> 51:35.842 But she never really wanted to come back here, did she?
- 51:35.926 --> 51:36.968 You did!
- 51:38.512 --> 51:41.723 I have no interest in being used as a pawn in someone else's game.
- 51:41.807 --> 51:43.266 That is not what we are doing.
- 51:43.350 --> 51:46.978 Then tell me what stipulations the Sheffields have apparently set down
- 51:47.062 --> 51:49.022 with regard to Edwina's match.
- 51:49.106 --> 51:51.817 Stipulations which, if met, will, I am guessing,
- 51:51.900 --> 51:55.529 guarantee great fortune for you and your family.
- 51:58.907 --> 52:01.701 Edwina must marry an Englishman of nobility.
- 52:07.415 --> 52:10.961 They could not control your mama's marriage,
- 52:11.044 --> 52:13.964 so they mean to interfere with your sister's.
- 52:14.047 --> 52:14.923 [Kate] Yes.
- 52:15.006 --> 52:18.552 They never recovered from my father's lack of rank and title.
- 52:19.261 --> 52:23.140 Though let me assure you, Lady Danbury, I am not here for selfish reasons.
- 52:24.224 --> 52:27.894 After my father died, Mama and I did the best we could
- 52:27.978 --> 52:31.731 to raise Edwina, all so she would never know of our struggles.
- 52:32.899 --> 52:36.153 But our money ran low. We used the last for this very journey.
- 52:36.236 --> 52:39.823 The Sheffields have agreed to bestow a sizable dowry on my sister,
- 52:39.906 --> 52:41.575 and to look after my mama.
- 52:42.325 --> 52:44.536 But only if Edwina marries properly.
- 52:52.085 --> 52:53.503 And what about you?
- 52:54.629 --> 52:57.674 If I could marry for the sake of my family, I would.
- 52:57.757 --> 53:01.261 But I am not my mama's daughter by birth. Edwina is.
- 53:01.344 --> 53:02.304 [softly] Oh.
- 53:03.555 --> 53:05.682 I've spent the last eight years
- 53:05.765 --> 53:08.351 raising my sister to walk in the right way,
- 53:08.435 --> 53:11.479 to talk in the right way, to play the pianoforte just so.
- 53:15.525 --> 53:19.446 Teaching her twice as much and watching her work twice as hard as anyone else.
- 53:19.529 --> 53:22.949 I even taught her how to make this pitiful excuse for tea the English so adore.
- 53:23.033 --> 53:24.576 I despise English tea.
- 53:24.659 --> 53:25.619 [laughs]
- 53:26.328 --> 53:29.581 But if it means my sister will not be left destitute,
- 53:30.707 --> 53:32.876 then I will smile, and I will nod politely
- 53:32.959 --> 53:35.337 after each and every sip, to be sure.
- 53:36.338 --> 53:37.923 [breathes deeply]
- 53:38.506 --> 53:40.884 Your sister has a right to know.
- 53:40.967 --> 53:43.929 As you said, it is her future.
- 53:45.680 --> 53:49.476 That is precisely why I shield her. Because I know her.
- 53:49.559 --> 53:51.686 If she was made aware of the circumstances,
- 53:51.770 --> 53:54.022 she would marry quickly only to please us.
- 53:54.105 --> 53:56.650 She would say yes to any man kind enough to ask.
- 53:57.734 --> 54:01.988 Edwina deserves a chance to find love without such a burden.
- 54:03.865 --> 54:05.784 Please, you must not tell a soul.
- 54:07.410 --> 54:08.453 [Lady Danbury] Mmm.
- 54:11.873 --> 54:15.877 [Lady Whistledown] <i>Formed under pressure, desired by many,</i>
- 54:15.961 --> 54:19.297 <i>yet possessed only by a fortunate few,</i>
- 54:19.381 --> 54:23.218 <i>there is nothing on earth quite so envied</i>
- 54:23.301 --> 54:24.928 <i>as a diamond.</i>
- 54:34.562 --> 54:36.773 <i>Might our queen finally</i>
- 54:36.856 --> 54:39.025 <i>extinguish the fevered speculation</i>
- 54:39.109 --> 54:41.861 <i>and bestow the highest of honors</i>
- 54:41.945 --> 54:44.864 <i>to a most fortunate young lady tonight?</i>
- 54:48.827 --> 54:52.205 <i>With so many futures at risk,</i>
- 54:52.289 --> 54:55.667 <i>I do suspect this author</i> <i>is not the only one</i>
- 54:55.750 --> 54:58.086 <i>waiting with bated breath.</i>
- 55:00.255 --> 55:04.509 I do hope you are finding everything in town to your satisfaction,
- 55:05.218 --> 55:06.219 Lady Mary.
- 55:06.303 --> 55:08.013 Indeed I am, Your Majesty.
- 55:08.096 --> 55:10.223 This time around, that is.
- 55:10.807 --> 55:15.603 Perhaps your mother would enjoy some refreshment, Miss Sharma.
- 55:23.570 --> 55:27.615 I might think Lady Mary deserves some recognition, ma'am.
- 55:27.699 --> 55:29.993 It's certainly a sign of true devotion on her part,
- 55:30.076 --> 55:32.037 having sought to introduce her daughters
- 55:32.120 --> 55:34.956 under the discerning eye of Your Majesty, after all.
- 55:35.457 --> 55:38.084 The youngest one, in particular, I think,
- 55:38.168 --> 55:42.255 will certainly make a match that will be the envy of the ton.
- 55:42.839 --> 55:46.593 Why do I sense my strings being pulled, Lady Danbury?
- 55:46.676 --> 55:49.220 You said you wanted to shake up the season.
- 55:50.305 --> 55:51.931 Now is your chance.
- 55:57.479 --> 55:58.813 [Eloise groans]
- 55:59.356 --> 56:01.691 Anyone here you've not yet rejected?
- 56:01.775 --> 56:04.736 You're the artist. Do you see anyone remotely inspiring?
- 56:05.737 --> 56:08.490 We shall have our diamond tonight, and I shall have a wife.
- 56:11.242 --> 56:13.495 Lady Bridgerton. Miss Bridgerton.
- 56:13.995 --> 56:17.624 Such a shame your presentation at court was so rudely interrupted.
- 56:17.707 --> 56:18.708 Shame, indeed.
- 56:18.792 --> 56:22.170 [Queen Charlotte] I nearly forgot you were making your debut this season.
- 56:22.253 --> 56:24.714 After your elder sister's triumph,
- 56:25.298 --> 56:28.134 perhaps good fortune might run in the family.
- 56:28.218 --> 56:29.636 [laughter]
- 56:31.971 --> 56:34.891 Uh, it is a delightful ball, Your Majesty.
- 56:34.974 --> 56:36.726 Very diamond-y. [chuckles]
- 56:36.810 --> 56:39.771 Though, I must admit, I am more of an emerald person myself.
- 56:41.606 --> 56:42.607 [clears throat]
- 56:43.274 --> 56:45.610 [laughing heartily]
- 56:46.778 --> 56:47.612 Oh, dear!
- 56:49.447 --> 56:51.658 My favorite necklace is one of emeralds.
- 56:51.741 --> 56:54.160 -How thoughtful of you to know that. -Oh. [chuckles]
- 56:54.244 --> 56:55.662 It seems you have indeed
- 56:55.745 --> 56:59.082 come a long way since last year, Miss Bridgerton.
- 56:59.791 --> 57:00.792 [hesitant chuckle]
- 57:05.922 --> 57:07.132 [softly] Excuse me.
- 57:10.802 --> 57:14.264 If the queen, in fact, names Eloise the diamond,
- 57:14.347 --> 57:16.057 whom will you marry then, Brother?
- 57:16.141 --> 57:17.267 Hush, you.
- 57:18.435 --> 57:20.979 [classical dance tune playing]
- 57:28.194 --> 57:30.071 [breathing heavily]
- 57:32.449 --> 57:33.283 Pen!
- 57:33.366 --> 57:34.659 Pen! Pen, Pen. Pen.
- 57:34.742 --> 57:35.827 We must leave.
- 57:35.910 --> 57:38.997 The queen, she-- I somehow managed to charm her.
- 57:39.831 --> 57:43.126 -She seems to, in fact, like me. I don't-- -Eloise, you must calm down.
- 57:43.209 --> 57:44.377 Eloise Bridgerton.
- 57:44.461 --> 57:46.379 [chuckles] The diamond.
- 57:47.088 --> 57:50.550 Perhaps now you might stop spending time with insipid wallflowers all evening
- 57:51.134 --> 57:52.802 and refine your circle of friends.
- 57:52.886 --> 57:54.762 -[Penelope sighs] -I may have an opening--
- 57:54.846 --> 57:56.347 -I would rather die. -[gasps]
- 57:58.516 --> 57:59.642 [stifling laughter]
- 58:04.063 --> 58:04.939 [sighs]
- 58:05.023 --> 58:07.817 [Eloise] How you managed an entire season of these absurd events
- 58:07.901 --> 58:10.612 alongside people like Cressida Cowper is beyond me.
- 58:10.695 --> 58:12.447 And it's not just her. It is all of them.
- 58:12.530 --> 58:15.492 Staring at me as if I were some fine china teapot.
- 58:15.575 --> 58:17.285 How did you do it on your own, Pen?
- 58:17.368 --> 58:19.204 I do not share your difficulties, El.
- 58:19.287 --> 58:21.873 -"Insipid wallflower," remember? -Ugh. That is not--
- 58:21.956 --> 58:23.666 Cressida is incensed that even her new dress
- 58:23.750 --> 58:24.751 cannot hide her character.
- 58:24.834 --> 58:25.919 [chuckles]
- 58:26.920 --> 58:28.213 [Eloise sighs]
- 58:31.841 --> 58:33.218 It's not that bad, you know.
- 58:33.843 --> 58:35.595 -The wallflower thing. -Mmm.
- 58:36.262 --> 58:38.640 I always get the first glass of lemonade.
- 58:38.723 --> 58:41.017 I know who all the best dancers are just from watching.
- 58:41.684 --> 58:43.436 I can always tell when a suitor is serious
- 58:43.520 --> 58:46.773 about courtship just by how he looks when a young lady dances with another.
- 58:46.856 --> 58:50.568 The wall even affords me the chance to hear what the footmen say in secret.
- 58:51.861 --> 58:53.863 You've been keeping it from me.
- 58:56.449 --> 58:59.118 You do not have to pretend any longer, Pen.
- 59:00.828 --> 59:02.956 -You like all of this. -[chuckles]
- 59:04.999 --> 59:07.043 -Well, it can be amusing. -[chuckles]
- 59:09.087 --> 59:10.922 I know you have begun to think little of her,
- 59:11.005 --> 59:13.299 but is Lady Whistledown still not a source of amusement?
- 59:13.383 --> 59:15.134 It's not that I think little of her.
- 59:16.094 --> 59:17.845 When she was gone, I thought I would miss her.
- 59:17.929 --> 59:20.557 I thought I needed her to make sense of this world. But…
- 59:21.057 --> 59:24.602 now she is back, reporting on the same old things.
- 59:24.686 --> 59:26.688 Just another reminder of how trapped I am.
- 59:30.316 --> 59:31.985 I can feel people's eyes on me.
- 59:32.068 --> 59:35.405 Every time I walk into a ballroom, I know they are comparing me to Daphne.
- 59:35.488 --> 59:40.076 She was so good at being the diamond and it made my mother so happy.
- 59:41.327 --> 59:42.745 I can never live up to that.
- 59:43.329 --> 59:46.291 I do not <i>want</i> to live up to that, but it does not make it any easier to know
- 59:46.374 --> 59:49.752 you are constantly disappointing people just by walking into a room.
- 59:51.337 --> 59:52.922 I never thought of it that way.
- 59:54.632 --> 59:57.176 No one truly notices me.
- 59:58.970 --> 01:00:00.346 I suppose that is what I like.
- 01:00:01.848 --> 01:00:04.100 When you're invisible, you have all the amusement you want
- 01:00:04.183 --> 01:00:07.061 without any of the expectations popularity brings.
- 01:00:07.145 --> 01:00:08.688 It frees you.
- 01:00:10.815 --> 01:00:13.401 Do you think that is why Whistledown remains anonymous?
- 01:00:14.485 --> 01:00:15.403 Perhaps.
- 01:00:17.030 --> 01:00:19.157 Do you think that is why Cressida is so cruel?
- 01:00:19.866 --> 01:00:20.700 No.
- 01:00:21.492 --> 01:00:23.911 I think she just wears her hair too tight.
- 01:00:23.995 --> 01:00:25.997 [both laughing]
- 01:00:30.960 --> 01:00:32.128 [Eloise] Oh.
- 01:00:32.211 --> 01:00:34.297 [playing fanfare]
- 01:00:38.593 --> 01:00:39.969 [hushed chatter]
- 01:00:40.053 --> 01:00:42.472 Your presence is noted,
- 01:00:42.555 --> 01:00:44.932 and your queen most appreciative.
- 01:00:46.225 --> 01:00:51.648 Allow it to now be my honor to present to you the season's diamond.
- 01:01:02.909 --> 01:01:04.577 Miss Edwina Sharma.
- 01:01:04.661 --> 01:01:06.663 [attendees gasping, muttering]
- 01:01:08.373 --> 01:01:10.333 [classical music playing]
- 01:01:21.135 --> 01:01:24.013 You look at her the way I look at a finished painting, Brother.
- 01:01:24.097 --> 01:01:25.932 Every man needs a muse, does he not?
- 01:01:40.738 --> 01:01:42.281 Viscount Bridgerton.
- 01:01:43.032 --> 01:01:45.618 Have you yet met my new incomparable?
- 01:01:46.703 --> 01:01:49.414 I am most grateful for the introduction, Your Majesty.
- 01:01:49.497 --> 01:01:52.250 I only hope I shall be afforded the pleasure of a dance.
- 01:02:02.885 --> 01:02:04.762 I suppose I should thank you.
- 01:02:04.846 --> 01:02:05.722 [chuckles softly]
- 01:02:05.805 --> 01:02:09.100 Oh, child. It is much too soon for that.
- 01:02:10.143 --> 01:02:13.229 You must know the real work begins now.
- 01:02:13.312 --> 01:02:15.606 Indeed. There will be a mire to wade through
- 01:02:15.690 --> 01:02:17.442 on behalf of my sister, to be sure.
- 01:02:17.525 --> 01:02:19.402 Speaking of, where <i>is</i> my sister?
- 01:02:21.821 --> 01:02:24.949 Forgive my directness. Do you have any thoughts about children?
- 01:02:25.450 --> 01:02:27.577 Other than the fact that I desire them so?
- 01:02:28.453 --> 01:02:31.748 However many I have, my lord, I shall feel most fortunate.
- 01:02:31.831 --> 01:02:34.667 Together with my husband, we will chart the best course.
- 01:02:35.251 --> 01:02:36.419 How very sensible.
- 01:02:37.587 --> 01:02:39.964 Do you play any musical instruments, by chance?
- 01:02:40.047 --> 01:02:41.299 [chuckles lightly]
- 01:02:41.382 --> 01:02:42.967 Many, in fact.
- 01:02:43.050 --> 01:02:47.388 But, for the most part, my education was taken up by more serious pursuits.
- 01:02:49.056 --> 01:02:51.893 Modern languages, classical literature.
- 01:02:51.976 --> 01:02:53.436 I do love to read.
- 01:02:55.980 --> 01:02:59.484 You do not seem discomposed by my line of questioning.
- 01:03:00.318 --> 01:03:01.527 Why ever would I be?
- 01:03:01.611 --> 01:03:05.239 A man who knows what he wants is most admirable.
- 01:03:06.866 --> 01:03:09.452 Is your father in attendance? I should like to speak with him.
- 01:03:10.578 --> 01:03:12.872 Sadly, my father died years ago.
- 01:03:13.748 --> 01:03:14.707 Ah.
- 01:03:15.792 --> 01:03:16.876 I'm so sorry.
- 01:03:19.128 --> 01:03:20.004 As did mine.
- 01:03:22.507 --> 01:03:23.508 [song ends]
- 01:03:27.512 --> 01:03:29.889 Though, perhaps you could speak with my sister.
- 01:03:30.473 --> 01:03:32.850 It is her blessing you shall need if we are…
- 01:03:32.934 --> 01:03:34.143 Oh! Here she is now.
- 01:03:34.227 --> 01:03:35.978 -Kate! -[Lady Danbury] Ah, Lord Bridgerton.
- 01:03:36.062 --> 01:03:38.731 I see you've met Miss Edwina. This is--
- 01:03:38.815 --> 01:03:39.774 Her sister.
- 01:03:39.857 --> 01:03:41.317 -Miss Sharma, my lord. -Oh.
- 01:03:43.778 --> 01:03:46.364 The Viscount Bridgerton is a most excellent dancer.
- 01:03:46.447 --> 01:03:48.991 Perhaps I may learn a thing or two from you, my lord.
- 01:03:49.075 --> 01:03:51.494 Would you join me in the retiring room, Sister?
- 01:03:53.913 --> 01:03:55.206 Is something wrong, Didi?
- 01:03:55.289 --> 01:03:58.042 You are not to go near that man. Do you understand?
- 01:04:00.253 --> 01:04:02.547 She is a lovely diamond, dearest.
- 01:04:02.630 --> 01:04:03.589 Indeed.
- 01:04:05.091 --> 01:04:06.592 She is who I shall marry.
- 01:04:07.593 --> 01:04:10.304 There are a few things I must make you aware of.
- 01:04:10.388 --> 01:04:14.308 [Lady Whistledown] <i>Color, clarity, carat, cut.</i>
- 01:04:14.392 --> 01:04:18.896 <i>At long last, the queen</i> <i>has named her most precious stone.</i>
- 01:04:22.358 --> 01:04:24.235 What is all this?
- 01:04:25.152 --> 01:04:26.320 [Varley sighs]
- 01:04:26.821 --> 01:04:27.655 Ma'am.
- 01:04:28.281 --> 01:04:29.448 He is here.
- 01:04:30.032 --> 01:04:31.826 The new Lord Featherington.
- 01:04:31.909 --> 01:04:33.828 [footsteps descending]
- 01:04:35.162 --> 01:04:36.789 Lady Featherington.
- 01:04:37.957 --> 01:04:40.251 That still work if we are not married?
- 01:04:40.334 --> 01:04:41.627 It's rather strange.
- 01:04:42.545 --> 01:04:44.755 I thought the heir was old.
- 01:04:44.839 --> 01:04:46.924 -I thought the heir was ugly. -Ladies.
- 01:04:47.008 --> 01:04:49.510 It is quite all right. You must mean my father.
- 01:04:49.594 --> 01:04:51.512 And no offense taken. He was ugly.
- 01:04:51.596 --> 01:04:52.805 And very old.
- 01:04:52.889 --> 01:04:55.975 So old that, well, he died.
- 01:04:56.976 --> 01:05:00.646 I'm terribly sorry for my late arrival. I made the trip from America.
- 01:05:00.730 --> 01:05:02.899 But don't worry, I've started taking care of things.
- 01:05:02.982 --> 01:05:05.276 Philippa. That must be you.
- 01:05:05.359 --> 01:05:07.361 Your dowry to that fine Finch fellow is paid.
- 01:05:07.445 --> 01:05:09.322 The late Lord's books are on their way to me now.
- 01:05:09.405 --> 01:05:11.866 And I even took the liberty of having your possessions
- 01:05:11.949 --> 01:05:13.868 moved from your bedchamber, Lady Featherington.
- 01:05:13.951 --> 01:05:15.703 [chuckling] Yes, it's still strange.
- 01:05:15.786 --> 01:05:17.705 You had my possessions moved?
- 01:05:17.788 --> 01:05:21.083 Well, I shall be taking over those rooms, now that the home is mine.
- 01:05:21.167 --> 01:05:22.376 You understand, yes?
- 01:05:23.878 --> 01:05:25.379 [Penelope] It is like you said, Mama.
- 01:05:25.463 --> 01:05:27.590 The new Lord Featherington is here to provide.
- 01:05:31.302 --> 01:05:34.430 [Lady Whistledown] <i>While this author finds Miss Edwina Sharma</i>
- 01:05:34.513 --> 01:05:37.016 <i>to be an exceptional young lady,</i>
- 01:05:37.099 --> 01:05:40.269 <i>it is about time I used these pages</i>
- 01:05:40.353 --> 01:05:42.355 <i>of record for something else.</i>
- 01:05:42.438 --> 01:05:43.898 <i>A shift.</i>
- 01:05:44.440 --> 01:05:48.235 <i>Is the entire practice</i> <i>of naming a diamond not…</i>
- 01:05:48.319 --> 01:05:50.738 <i>well, rather ridiculous?</i>
- 01:05:50.821 --> 01:05:55.451 <i>Should a woman not be valued</i> <i>for so much more than her dancing skills</i>
- 01:05:55.534 --> 01:05:57.119 <i>or her comportment?</i>
- 01:05:57.203 --> 01:05:59.914 <i>Should we not value a woman instead</i>
- 01:05:59.997 --> 01:06:02.458 <i>for her candor, her character,</i>
- 01:06:02.541 --> 01:06:04.377 <i>her true accomplishments?</i>
- 01:06:04.460 --> 01:06:05.878 What do you think, Eloise?
- 01:06:06.545 --> 01:06:08.339 -I love it. <i>-</i> [chuckles]
- 01:06:09.799 --> 01:06:15.262 <i>Perhaps if the queen abandoned</i> <i>this absurdity that is the diamond,</i>
- 01:06:15.346 --> 01:06:19.225 <i>we would all see</i> <i>that a woman can be so much more.</i>
- 01:06:20.935 --> 01:06:22.603 What is it, Your Majesty?
- 01:06:22.687 --> 01:06:24.021 Edwina Sharma.
- 01:06:24.730 --> 01:06:25.940 My diamond.
- 01:06:26.565 --> 01:06:31.195 It seems she will need to do more for me this season than simply sparkle.
- 00:39.789 --> 00:41.291 Whoa. Whoa.
- 00:45.462 --> 00:48.173 -I just think it's important… No, no, no.
- 00:48.256 --> 00:50.383 -Gregory, you…
- 00:50.467 --> 00:53.261 Shh! Let her come out on her own.
- 00:53.344 --> 00:55.472 -Is this the plan? -Thank goodness you're here.
- 00:55.555 --> 00:58.183 -She's requested time. -We do not have time. Stand back.
- 00:58.266 --> 01:00.977 No offense, Sister, but you are the last person she'd like to see.
- 01:01.061 --> 01:03.063 -What does that mean? -Are we sure she's in there?
- 01:03.146 --> 01:05.190 -Of course she is. -Where else would she be?
- 01:05.273 --> 01:07.901 -Climbed through the window, the chimney-- -Quiet! She may hear you.
- 01:07.984 --> 01:09.944 I left my husband and child at home for this.
- 01:10.028 --> 01:12.530 I told everyone this would happen, now we're late for the queen.
- 01:12.614 --> 01:13.531 I hear something.
- 01:16.367 --> 01:18.078 -Anthony.
- 01:32.509 --> 01:35.095 If one of you utters a single word…
- 01:37.430 --> 01:38.973 Let us get this over with.
- 01:45.480 --> 01:49.067 I yearn for someone fresh, someone unexpected,
- 01:49.150 --> 01:51.194 to turn this season on its head.
- 01:51.277 --> 01:55.031 That is what we need. There is no room for indifference.
- 01:55.115 --> 01:57.867 Apathy is a blight the monarchy simply cannot endure.
- 01:57.951 --> 01:59.869 Of course, Your Majesty. But remember,
- 01:59.953 --> 02:02.080 a young lady cannot <i>be</i> a diamond
- 02:02.163 --> 02:04.666 until <i>you</i> anoint her as such.
- 02:04.749 --> 02:08.753 So if for any reason you do not find one among the candidates today--
- 02:08.837 --> 02:10.296 Do you think she will return?
- 02:10.380 --> 02:12.924 We have heard nary a peep from Lady Whistledown
- 02:13.007 --> 02:14.676 since last season ended.
- 02:15.718 --> 02:17.971 Perhaps the writer came to her senses.
- 02:18.054 --> 02:21.641 Perhaps she realized taking on her queen was a bad idea,
- 02:21.724 --> 02:23.393 and she will never publish again.
- 02:23.476 --> 02:25.770 It is a convincing theory, ma'am.
- 02:25.854 --> 02:26.729 Or
- 02:27.355 --> 02:31.276 she simply left for the country, as the rest of us did in the off-season,
- 02:31.359 --> 02:33.820 bored by the lack of any real gossip.
- 02:33.903 --> 02:34.904 Hmm.
- 02:37.198 --> 02:39.325 You do know what that would make her, then?
- 02:42.495 --> 02:43.788 One of us.
- 02:43.872 --> 02:44.914 Hmm.
- 02:46.457 --> 02:48.960 Could we not have appealed to the queen, Mama?
- 02:49.043 --> 02:51.504 After having mourned dear Papa for so very long,
- 02:51.588 --> 02:53.423 perhaps Her Majesty might extend a kindness
- 02:53.506 --> 02:55.216 and allow us to be presented again.
- 02:55.300 --> 02:57.135 I see no need to go through all of that again
- 02:57.218 --> 02:59.637 when I myself am already betrothed to Mr. Finch.
- 02:59.721 --> 03:01.848 Mr. Finch may very well still change his mind.
- 03:01.931 --> 03:04.767 Particularly when he notices there is still no dowry.
- 03:04.851 --> 03:07.645 Hush! The new Lord Featherington shall see to that,
- 03:07.729 --> 03:10.231 when he finally decides to show his miserly face.
- 03:15.111 --> 03:16.863 Just remember to remain composed.
- 03:16.946 --> 03:19.199 And control your emotions.
- 03:19.699 --> 03:22.827 Her Majesty does not take kindly to any hint of hysterics.
- 03:23.411 --> 03:27.207 I found a small smile worked best to appear open and approachable,
- 03:27.290 --> 03:29.042 but not too eager.
- 03:29.667 --> 03:30.919 Now, let us see it.
- 03:32.253 --> 03:33.129 No.
- 03:33.213 --> 03:34.547 She's practically melting.
- 03:34.631 --> 03:37.217 -Here. Allow me. -And your curtsy, dearest.
- 03:37.300 --> 03:39.552 Tell your sister how you managed such balance.
- 03:39.636 --> 03:42.972 Simply locate a stationary object and keep your eyes set.
- 03:43.473 --> 03:45.683 I used a painting nearby. We practiced it.
- 03:45.767 --> 03:47.894 -Several times.
- 03:49.562 --> 03:51.940 -You have natural gifts-- -Do not patronize me.
- 03:52.023 --> 03:53.733 -And give me that! -Oh!
- 03:55.902 --> 03:58.321 My task this season cannot be exceptionally difficult.
- 03:58.404 --> 04:00.490 Hastings did it after all. How hard can it be?
- 04:00.573 --> 04:03.576 -Ah. Spoken with such feeling too. -I do not need feeling.
- 04:03.660 --> 04:06.120 What I need is what I have, and that is a list.
- 04:06.204 --> 04:09.624 Tolerable, dutiful, suitable enough hips for childbearing,
- 04:09.707 --> 04:11.042 and at least half a brain.
- 04:11.542 --> 04:14.963 And that last part is not so much a requirement but a preference, in fact.
- 04:16.673 --> 04:19.259 Miss Cordelia Patridge.
- 04:20.385 --> 04:23.304 The Lady Abigail Evans.
- 04:23.388 --> 04:26.557 Miss Mary Ann Hallewell.
- 04:26.641 --> 04:28.893 Miss Margaret Goring.
- 04:33.731 --> 04:35.108 It is not too late.
- 04:35.191 --> 04:36.901 -You could say I collapsed.
- 04:36.985 --> 04:39.112 That I got something unmentionable on my gown.
- 04:39.195 --> 04:40.905 All the feathers affected my senses.
- 04:40.989 --> 04:42.949 Anything, Mama, to get me out of doing this.
- 04:43.032 --> 04:44.575 -My darling girl.
- 04:44.659 --> 04:47.704 No matter what, you will always be a diamond to me.
- 04:49.497 --> 04:50.957 If Penelope were here…
- 04:52.041 --> 04:56.379 Penelope? How many times must I warn you to be wary of that window?
- 04:56.462 --> 04:58.423 Do you wish to appear like a befreckled beggar
- 04:58.506 --> 05:00.091 spending all day in the sun?
- 05:00.174 --> 05:01.926 -Of course not, Mama.
- 05:02.010 --> 05:03.386 My apologies.
- 05:08.850 --> 05:11.978 The Dowager Viscountess Bridgerton
- 05:12.061 --> 05:14.772 and Miss Eloise Bridgerton.
- 05:23.990 --> 05:24.907 It is here.
- 05:29.746 --> 05:31.039 Smile.
- 05:40.590 --> 05:42.050 What is the meaning of this?
- 05:49.223 --> 05:50.099 I've seen enough.
- 05:50.683 --> 05:53.353 -But Your Majesty, there are still-- -I have seen enough!
- 05:55.313 --> 05:56.647 Does this mean I can go?
- 05:56.731 --> 05:58.483 I don't know what this means.
- 06:00.360 --> 06:01.319 Eloise.
- 06:17.168 --> 06:19.879 Truly, I cannot say I will long for any of this.
- 06:21.130 --> 06:22.924 Best of luck to you, Brother.
- 06:23.633 --> 06:25.927 You shall certainly need it this season.
- 06:29.263 --> 06:32.225 <i>Dearest gentle reader.</i>
- 06:33.393 --> 06:34.894 <i>Did you miss me?</i>
- 07:42.378 --> 07:46.299 <i>As the members</i> <i>of our esteemed ton lazily sojourned</i>
- 07:46.382 --> 07:48.176 <i>in their rustic retreats,</i>
- 07:48.259 --> 07:51.429 <i>this author was doing but one thing.</i>
- 07:52.263 --> 07:53.973 I knew she would return!
- 07:54.056 --> 07:56.017 <i>Honing my skills.</i>
- 07:56.100 --> 07:57.560 Increased her price too, I see.
- 07:57.643 --> 08:00.855 <i>Or should I say,</i> <i>hatching my plans?</i>
- 08:01.814 --> 08:04.108 Is she truly that good a writer?
- 08:05.276 --> 08:07.653 <i>No, even better.</i>
- 08:08.446 --> 08:11.491 <i>I was sharpening my knives…</i>
- 08:12.783 --> 08:14.577 -"For all of you." <i>-…for all of you.</i>
- 08:16.579 --> 08:18.080 How do you think she does it?
- 08:18.664 --> 08:21.250 Certainly not by herself. How could she?
- 08:21.334 --> 08:22.168 Oh.
- 08:41.062 --> 08:43.523 Eighteen? We agreed on 20.
- 08:43.606 --> 08:45.399 My mistress changed her mind.
- 08:46.567 --> 08:49.612 You're new to this arrangement, so I'll say this only once.
- 08:50.446 --> 08:53.199 What my mistress wants, she gets.
- 08:53.282 --> 08:55.660 For whatever reason, that would be you at the moment.
- 08:56.285 --> 08:58.663 That doesn't make you special, Mr. Harris.
- 08:58.746 --> 09:00.915 Printers in this town are ten-a-penny.
- 09:00.998 --> 09:02.583 But there's only one Lady Whistledown,
- 09:02.667 --> 09:05.002 and she could just as easily take her business elsewhere.
- 09:05.503 --> 09:06.796 So it's 18,
- 09:06.879 --> 09:07.922 not a penny more.
- 09:08.631 --> 09:11.133 And the delivery boys need a wage increase.
- 09:11.217 --> 09:14.220 They're running around town while you get to sit on your lazy arse.
- 09:14.303 --> 09:16.013 Yes, ma'am.
- 09:16.097 --> 09:18.057 Then my mistress thanks you for your services.
- 09:19.058 --> 09:24.313 <i>Questions abound</i> <i>as to this author's identity and means.</i>
- 09:24.397 --> 09:29.068 <i>Seeking those answers</i> <i>shall prove fruitless, indeed.</i>
- 09:31.320 --> 09:33.322 I am off to the market with my maid, Mama.
- 09:33.406 --> 09:35.616 I have just a tiny bit of pin money left, and I--
- 09:36.826 --> 09:40.997 <i>There is, of course,</i> <i>another unknown identity at present.</i>
- 09:41.080 --> 09:44.208 <i>Though, this one</i> <i>you will be able to unearth.</i>
- 09:44.292 --> 09:48.879 <i>I speak of the season's diamond,</i> <i>wherever she may be.</i>
- 09:48.963 --> 09:51.882 <i>Your move, Your Majesty.</i>
- 10:05.187 --> 10:07.189 One and two. One and two.
- 10:09.775 --> 10:10.985 I do not think she's very good.
- 10:11.068 --> 10:13.070 -I believe she can hear you. -I can hear you.
- 10:14.614 --> 10:16.866 -Ow! Watch my feet! -Might we be done?
- 10:16.949 --> 10:20.995 If you are to catch the queen's eye after that interruption, you must be perfection.
- 10:21.078 --> 10:23.372 I believe it was the interruption that was perfection.
- 10:23.456 --> 10:27.084 Shocking that Eloise Bridgerton was not named the season diamond, was it not?
- 10:27.168 --> 10:29.837 Was anyone else aware that dear Colin has decided to add Albania
- 10:29.920 --> 10:32.673 or some such place to his itinerary as he gads about the world?
- 10:32.757 --> 10:35.468 No. But how happy for him that he can simply decide to do that.
- 10:35.551 --> 10:36.844 Joining us for tea, Anthony?
- 10:36.927 --> 10:40.264 Uh, I'm afraid I must pass. Too many calls on my funds today.
- 10:41.349 --> 10:42.767 Now that the season has started,
- 10:42.850 --> 10:46.896 I need to fill your coffers at the modiste and oversee the hiring of extra staff.
- 10:46.979 --> 10:48.856 Your ring. When you get the chance, I need it.
- 10:48.939 --> 10:51.567 The fields by Ferryhallow. I was thinking we might hold off
- 10:51.651 --> 10:53.319 on leasing them due to the hard frost.
- 10:53.402 --> 10:54.737 I beg your pardon?
- 10:54.820 --> 10:56.864 The frost hardens the soil, saps it of nutrients.
- 10:56.947 --> 10:59.450 That is very well. But you requested my ring?
- 10:59.533 --> 11:00.826 Father's betrothal ring.
- 11:00.910 --> 11:03.954 Did someone catch your eye at the presentation, Brother?
- 11:04.038 --> 11:05.915 I thought all the young ladies looked beautiful.
- 11:05.998 --> 11:08.751 Not particularly. And all the young ladies looked the same. Like ladies.
- 11:08.834 --> 11:11.712 I'd simply like to be prepared for when the opportunity presents itself.
- 11:11.796 --> 11:12.630 The opportunity?
- 11:12.713 --> 11:15.966 I've compiled an index of the season's eligible misses and arranged interviews.
- 11:16.050 --> 11:18.302 Interviews!
- 11:19.553 --> 11:23.224 Dearest, I shall be more than happy to give you my ring when you find someone
- 11:23.307 --> 11:25.142 with whom you are very much in love.
- 11:25.226 --> 11:27.728 Besides, it is in safekeeping at Aubrey Hall.
- 11:27.812 --> 11:30.064 -Very well. -See that he is quite well.
- 11:30.147 --> 11:30.981 Me?
- 11:31.065 --> 11:32.483 I'm not in need of coddling.
- 11:33.192 --> 11:35.736 I assure you all, everything is in order.
- 11:49.709 --> 11:51.460 Are you looking forward to being a mother?
- 11:51.544 --> 11:54.839 Oh, very much. I am quite close with my brothers and sisters.
- 11:54.922 --> 11:56.132 I love children.
- 11:56.215 --> 11:57.800 What number do you have in mind?
- 11:58.384 --> 11:59.385 Of children?
- 11:59.927 --> 12:03.514 Four. Or five. No. Perhaps six.
- 12:03.597 --> 12:05.975 Three children is what I have always wanted, my lord.
- 12:06.058 --> 12:08.102 If your daughter had a penchant for overspending,
- 12:08.185 --> 12:09.395 how would you deal with that?
- 12:14.859 --> 12:17.862 We must secure a new lady's maid for Eloise, now that she is out.
- 12:18.362 --> 12:20.865 Ensure she is even more strong-willed than the last.
- 12:21.365 --> 12:23.033 -What are those?
- 12:23.117 --> 12:26.245 Uh, accounts requiring your signature, my lord.
- 12:27.621 --> 12:29.832 The harp is a wonderful instrument, my lord,
- 12:29.915 --> 12:32.710 teaching one patience, strength,
- 12:32.793 --> 12:36.297 and an appreciation for beauty, of course.
- 12:37.256 --> 12:38.257 But do you read?
- 12:38.924 --> 12:40.092 Books?
- 12:59.820 --> 13:02.948 I am fluent in French, Italian, Latin.
- 13:03.908 --> 13:05.075 And your Greek?
- 13:08.037 --> 13:11.123 Apologies, my lord. I much prefer a quadrille.
- 13:12.541 --> 13:14.084 I ride. I paint.
- 13:14.168 --> 13:16.378 I sing. I dance.
- 13:16.462 --> 13:18.839 I can divide and multiply.
- 13:18.923 --> 13:20.966 I even construct my own hats.
- 13:43.364 --> 13:44.865 Five and twenty more, my lord.
- 14:15.229 --> 14:16.063 Whoa, there!
- 14:16.146 --> 14:18.315 Miss, are you in trouble?
- 14:18.399 --> 14:20.109 -Come on.
- 14:41.755 --> 14:42.631 Come on.
- 14:57.980 --> 14:59.273 Careful, now!
- 15:00.900 --> 15:02.026 Whoa, there!
- 15:28.677 --> 15:29.720 Enjoying your victory lap?
- 15:31.430 --> 15:34.391 You'll not be afforded such an ample head-start this time.
- 15:34.892 --> 15:36.143 Apologies, sir.
- 15:36.727 --> 15:39.063 I did not mean to cause anyone concern.
- 15:39.146 --> 15:41.315 Does your maid know you are riding astride?
- 15:41.398 --> 15:42.733 I have no maid.
- 15:42.816 --> 15:44.026 Then you're married.
- 15:46.028 --> 15:47.029 Forgive me.
- 15:48.072 --> 15:49.031 Then you are lost.
- 15:49.114 --> 15:51.325 I am not lost either. I'm on my way back to Mayfair.
- 15:51.408 --> 15:53.202 -It is just ahead. -Mayfair?
- 15:54.745 --> 15:55.579 Well, then--
- 15:55.663 --> 15:58.374 I appreciate your attention, sir, but I assure you I am perfectly safe.
- 15:58.457 --> 16:00.751 Perhaps we pretend this encounter never took place?
- 16:00.834 --> 16:02.878 You allow me to go my way, and you go yours.
- 16:04.004 --> 16:05.422 You worry about being seen.
- 16:05.506 --> 16:07.967 I worry about meeting strange men in parks at dawn
- 16:08.050 --> 16:10.219 who fail to leave me alone with their questions.
- 16:10.302 --> 16:12.137 Your secret is safe. I shall not tell a soul.
- 16:12.221 --> 16:13.263 How grateful I am.
- 16:13.764 --> 16:16.892 Losing races to strange women in such parks at dawn.
- 16:18.143 --> 16:20.479 I can only imagine the questions I would be asked.
- 16:22.314 --> 16:23.732 Is that what that was?
- 16:24.733 --> 16:26.527 -A race? -Was it not?
- 16:26.610 --> 16:28.946 Does one not need actual competition for a race?
- 16:29.029 --> 16:31.156 If we had decided on a finish line together,
- 16:31.240 --> 16:33.117 but alas, we made no such agreement.
- 16:33.200 --> 16:34.827 I see you are not one for losing.
- 16:35.411 --> 16:36.620 I shall have you--
- 16:39.248 --> 16:42.292 In the rare instances it occurs,
- 16:42.376 --> 16:44.628 I'd admit that I have either lost or am in the wrong.
- 16:44.712 --> 16:46.505 But I'm afraid the same cannot be said for you.
- 16:46.588 --> 16:48.799 -I beg your pardon? -Mayfair is not right ahead.
- 16:48.882 --> 16:50.175 It's the other way entirely.
- 16:51.969 --> 16:53.637 Not lost, you said?
- 16:57.099 --> 16:58.892 -Good day, sir.
- 16:58.976 --> 16:59.977 Let's go.
- 17:01.729 --> 17:03.188 We have not yet been introduced.
- 17:03.272 --> 17:06.608 I am afraid that is not possible. Not when I have a victory lap to enjoy.
- 17:19.663 --> 17:22.166 Well, what do you mean she was not in her room?
- 17:22.249 --> 17:25.127 I went to find her after awakening, but she was not there.
- 17:28.255 --> 17:30.007 Lady Mary.
- 17:31.633 --> 17:32.676 Lady Danbury.
- 17:33.761 --> 17:35.721 Oh, how delightful it is to see you.
- 17:35.804 --> 17:36.930 And you.
- 17:37.514 --> 17:40.059 -After all these years.
- 17:41.060 --> 17:42.436 You look well.
- 17:43.145 --> 17:46.065 Allow me to introduce to you my youngest,
- 17:46.148 --> 17:48.067 -Miss Edwina Sharma. -Ah.
- 17:48.150 --> 17:50.319 A true pleasure, Lady Danbury.
- 17:50.402 --> 17:52.946 I am so grateful for your hospitality.
- 17:53.030 --> 17:55.991 Your home, it is magnificent.
- 17:56.075 --> 17:58.410 Consider it yours for the season.
- 17:58.494 --> 18:01.538 Though, I was expecting another?
- 18:01.622 --> 18:03.665 Yes. My eldest.
- 18:03.749 --> 18:04.708 Kate.
- 18:04.792 --> 18:06.251 Kate. Yes.
- 18:07.503 --> 18:10.672 Well, she did get off the ship with you last night, did she not?
- 18:11.256 --> 18:12.841 -Apologies. -Kate!
- 18:12.925 --> 18:15.677 -There you are, dearest. -I hope I did not keep you waiting long.
- 18:15.761 --> 18:18.097 The gardens here are so lovely.
- 18:18.180 --> 18:19.973 After such a lengthy journey,
- 18:20.057 --> 18:23.185 I found that I wanted some freshness and morning air.
- 18:23.268 --> 18:25.395 But, uh… I am here now.
- 18:25.479 --> 18:28.732 My eldest, Lady Danbury. Miss Kate Sharma.
- 18:28.816 --> 18:30.109 Hmm.
- 18:30.192 --> 18:32.277 Well, now that we are all arrived--
- 18:32.361 --> 18:33.362 Almost.
- 18:33.445 --> 18:34.696 I beg your pardon?
- 18:34.780 --> 18:37.783 We have almost all arrived. There is also Newton.
- 18:37.866 --> 18:39.701 Is he still upstairs?
- 18:45.332 --> 18:49.211 Mama tells us you host the first ball of every season, Lady Danbury.
- 18:49.294 --> 18:52.506 Yes. I have appropriated a conservatory
- 18:52.589 --> 18:54.550 for this year's festivities.
- 18:54.633 --> 18:55.968 Did you hear that, Edwina?
- 18:56.802 --> 18:58.512 Well, that sounds delightful.
- 18:58.595 --> 19:02.474 It will make for a most spectacular entrance to society, indeed.
- 19:02.558 --> 19:04.935 I cannot tell you how eager the young ladies are
- 19:05.018 --> 19:06.228 for the upcoming season.
- 19:06.311 --> 19:07.479 As am I.
- 19:07.563 --> 19:11.191 I would've ensured their presentation to Her Majesty the Queen,
- 19:11.275 --> 19:14.736 but I thought it wise for me to examine their deportment
- 19:14.820 --> 19:16.738 prior to their first engagement.
- 19:16.822 --> 19:20.200 Her Majesty is most discerning, you understand.
- 19:20.784 --> 19:24.204 So Her Majesty will be in attendance, then, at the ball?
- 19:24.288 --> 19:26.915 Well, there is no reason for concern, Lady Mary.
- 19:26.999 --> 19:29.293 You will be with me, after all.
- 19:30.127 --> 19:31.044 Of course.
- 19:31.128 --> 19:33.463 Now, I have made all the arrangements.
- 19:33.547 --> 19:36.175 The pianoforte is tuned, the instructors hired.
- 19:36.258 --> 19:37.843 Dance lessons begin at noon,
- 19:37.926 --> 19:39.970 followed by a short but comprehensive visit
- 19:40.053 --> 19:42.389 from a lovely French tutor I have secured.
- 19:43.182 --> 19:44.933 Well, stand up.
- 19:45.851 --> 19:48.478 Both of you. Could you, uh--
- 19:56.236 --> 19:58.614 Exceptional posture.
- 19:59.114 --> 20:00.824 Beautiful smiles.
- 20:00.908 --> 20:02.492 Yes, they are, quite.
- 20:02.576 --> 20:05.579 The age of the elder miss may raise concern.
- 20:05.662 --> 20:08.874 Any suitable gentleman will require some persuading,
- 20:08.957 --> 20:10.792 whether we like it or not,
- 20:10.876 --> 20:15.130 as she will already be regarded as an old maid at the mature age of…
- 20:15.214 --> 20:16.673 Six and twenty, ma'am.
- 20:16.757 --> 20:19.551 But it should truly be of no concern, as I assure you
- 20:19.635 --> 20:21.970 I am not here to find a husband for myself,
- 20:22.054 --> 20:24.848 only for my sister, who, indeed, stands quite tall
- 20:24.932 --> 20:26.975 and smiles rather exquisitely.
- 20:27.059 --> 20:29.770 Even more so when she speaks French, I rather think.
- 20:36.318 --> 20:38.612 She is accomplished in both Latin and Greek,
- 20:38.695 --> 20:40.948 in addition to Marathi and Hindustani, of course.
- 20:41.031 --> 20:44.576 She not only plays sitar and maruli, but pianoforte too.
- 20:45.160 --> 20:47.120 And as for her dancing, well,
- 20:47.204 --> 20:49.873 it is quite remarkable, if I do say so myself.
- 20:49.957 --> 20:50.999 And I do say so,
- 20:51.083 --> 20:55.879 considering it was I who taught my sister the cotillion, the quadrille, the waltz.
- 20:55.963 --> 20:59.132 Self-taught, naturally, but still quite remarkable nonetheless.
- 20:59.216 --> 21:00.300 Hmm! Well--
- 21:00.384 --> 21:04.221 Kate feels quite passionately about her sister's prospects this season.
- 21:04.304 --> 21:07.849 I hope you did not go to too much trouble, finding all of those instructors?
- 21:07.933 --> 21:09.101 Not at all.
- 21:09.184 --> 21:11.603 My mama did not err in her description of you,
- 21:11.687 --> 21:14.481 a woman of such grace and kindness.
- 21:14.564 --> 21:16.775 I am sure we have much to learn from you,
- 21:16.858 --> 21:20.946 such as the preparation of this most excellent tea.
- 21:23.407 --> 21:24.700 -Kate, dear? -Mm-hmm?
- 21:24.783 --> 21:26.326 Might Newton require a walk
- 21:26.410 --> 21:30.247 before he makes his mess all over these fine carpets?
- 21:30.330 --> 21:33.834 Indeed. Delighted to make your acquaintance, Lady Danbury.
- 21:33.917 --> 21:37.087 My sister and I do look forward to your sponsorship this season.
- 21:40.716 --> 21:43.719 Daphne provided me a list of recommendations
- 21:43.802 --> 21:45.304 for a successful season.
- 21:45.387 --> 21:48.807 Private advice regarding the top ten ways in which to entrap a man.
- 21:48.890 --> 21:49.766 I'm telling you, Pen,
- 21:49.850 --> 21:52.769 the season has barely begun and already I feel touched in the head.
- 21:54.021 --> 21:57.649 Another quill? You do get through them at an extraordinary rate.
- 21:57.733 --> 22:01.153 I have been busy with my correspondence.
- 22:01.236 --> 22:03.363 -To the new heir? Is he here yet? -No.
- 22:03.447 --> 22:04.364 Oh.
- 22:04.448 --> 22:08.368 I only mean, Colin has been keeping me informed of his adventures in Greece.
- 22:08.452 --> 22:11.079 In fairness, I have stopped reading his letters. He rambles.
- 22:11.163 --> 22:13.165 -He's certainly no Lady Whistledown. -No.
- 22:14.124 --> 22:17.210 But, then again, Colin has, in fact, been somewhere, unlike her.
- 22:17.711 --> 22:19.671 Well, I thought you revered Whistledown.
- 22:19.755 --> 22:22.299 Did her arrival not save you from your presentation to the queen?
- 22:22.382 --> 22:24.843 I was delighted by the diversion, to be sure. But,
- 22:25.344 --> 22:26.803 I sat with her paper all morning,
- 22:26.887 --> 22:29.348 and in truth, all she does is repeat what she hears.
- 22:29.431 --> 22:32.184 Someone must report the gossip. Does she not have a way with words?
- 22:32.267 --> 22:33.810 But what is she saying with those words?
- 22:34.770 --> 22:37.272 Truly, I did not mind Whistledown's silence the last ten months,
- 22:37.356 --> 22:40.233 as it finally gave me some time to read a few articles of substance.
- 22:41.401 --> 22:45.530 "My own sex, I hope, will excuse me if I treat them like rational creatures,
- 22:45.614 --> 22:48.116 instead of flattering their fascinating graces."
- 22:48.200 --> 22:49.201 Wollstonecraft.
- 22:49.701 --> 22:51.703 Rather haughty.
- 22:51.787 --> 22:53.705 Imagine if Whistledown wrote like this,
- 22:53.789 --> 22:57.876 instead of simply turning our eye to every newly-minted debutante.
- 22:57.959 --> 22:59.586 Perhaps then we might find our respite
- 22:59.669 --> 23:01.838 from the tedious sequence of tea parties and balls.
- 23:01.922 --> 23:05.008 I rather think the only reason Whistledown writes about such things
- 23:05.092 --> 23:07.511 is because she is not an active participant in them.
- 23:07.594 --> 23:09.971 Oh. Everyone has their theory, I suppose.
- 23:10.055 --> 23:11.014 Mmm.
- 23:13.058 --> 23:17.020 Would you like me to prepare some potatoes for the ladies downstairs, ma'am?
- 23:17.104 --> 23:18.563 Potatoes? Again?
- 23:18.647 --> 23:20.732 Why are we always eating potatoes?
- 23:20.816 --> 23:25.404 Because these days, I am the housekeeper, lady's maid, scullery maid, and cook.
- 23:25.487 --> 23:27.155 Have all the staff truly departed?
- 23:27.239 --> 23:29.616 Though I am quite good at boiling the veg.
- 23:29.699 --> 23:32.119 Thank you, Mrs. Varley. Potatoes would be lovely.
- 23:32.202 --> 23:35.247 A season with no new dresses, nor servants.
- 23:35.330 --> 23:37.707 Are we to empty our own chamber pots too?
- 23:37.791 --> 23:39.668 -Mama, I cannot do that. -Calm yourselves.
- 23:40.168 --> 23:43.338 As I have told you, once the new Lord Featherington arrives,
- 23:43.422 --> 23:44.798 we will be provided for.
- 23:44.881 --> 23:48.218 Well, where is he? Why is he taking so long?
- 23:48.301 --> 23:51.346 Because he wishes to make us suffer.
- 23:53.640 --> 23:55.809 The new Lord Featherington is off somewhere,
- 23:55.892 --> 23:57.561 delighting in our misfortune,
- 23:57.644 --> 23:59.521 because the man is as cruel as can be.
- 23:59.604 --> 24:02.065 I hear he cast his only son out to the Americas
- 24:02.149 --> 24:03.859 for daring to question his word.
- 24:03.942 --> 24:07.362 I tremble to think where he will send the rest of us if he has a mind.
- 24:07.446 --> 24:08.613 Cornwall, perhaps.
- 24:08.697 --> 24:10.282 Cornwall?
- 24:10.365 --> 24:13.743 Well, I suppose you may visit Mr. Finch and me.
- 24:13.827 --> 24:15.745 If there is nary a penny for new dresses or staff,
- 24:15.829 --> 24:16.997 there is none for her dowry.
- 24:17.080 --> 24:19.207 He shall prevent me from marrying?
- 24:19.291 --> 24:20.417 Of course not.
- 24:20.500 --> 24:23.628 The man may be an old, bitter curmudgeon, but he is a gentleman
- 24:23.712 --> 24:25.797 and he will keep a gentleman's agreement.
- 24:25.881 --> 24:30.427 Which is why we must waste no time in finding matches for the lot of you.
- 24:30.510 --> 24:32.846 Unless you are all betrothed by the time our cousin arrives
- 24:32.929 --> 24:36.266 to claim the Featherington estate, we shall be at his mercy.
- 24:36.349 --> 24:38.768 And then… heaven help us all.
- 24:42.105 --> 24:44.024 You could always sell the silverware.
- 24:44.524 --> 24:47.068 The dinner service should fetch a handsome price.
- 25:01.917 --> 25:03.919 Are you thinking of wearing that one?
- 25:04.419 --> 25:06.421 -It is quite beautiful.
- 25:06.505 --> 25:08.298 No. These are for you, Bon.
- 25:08.381 --> 25:11.051 We have come to London to find your husband, not mine.
- 25:11.134 --> 25:13.261 Yes. You are but a dear old maid.
- 25:13.345 --> 25:18.058 Ah. Who shall be perfectly happy doting on my many nieces and nephews one day soon.
- 25:18.141 --> 25:21.728 I shall spoil them exceedingly. You do know that, yes?
- 25:24.147 --> 25:25.106 What is it?
- 25:26.900 --> 25:27.734 I…
- 25:29.736 --> 25:32.030 only hope they like me tonight.
- 25:33.281 --> 25:34.574 How could they not?
- 25:37.619 --> 25:41.039 Mama is doing that thing she always does when she is worried.
- 25:41.581 --> 25:43.375 The gossip she endured after marrying Appa
- 25:43.458 --> 25:45.377 had to have been unbearable, do you not think?
- 25:45.460 --> 25:48.713 Is this what troubles you? That was many years ago.
- 25:48.797 --> 25:50.799 Everyone will still have questions.
- 25:50.882 --> 25:53.593 About our family. About how you and I are related.
- 25:54.344 --> 25:55.554 We are sisters.
- 25:56.221 --> 25:57.889 This place may feel different,
- 25:57.973 --> 26:01.017 but it will never change the way you and I see each other.
- 26:01.977 --> 26:06.273 Besides, you heard Lady Danbury. She will smooth everything over.
- 26:06.356 --> 26:07.899 She is on <i>our </i>side.
- 26:08.858 --> 26:11.945 The dowager is more formidable than I imagined.
- 26:12.737 --> 26:16.408 She will have your head when she learns of your secret morning ride.
- 26:16.992 --> 26:18.743 Are you certain no one saw you?
- 26:18.827 --> 26:20.245 Yes. Now, never mind her.
- 26:20.328 --> 26:22.872 The dowager is not half as frightening as she thinks she is.
- 26:24.666 --> 26:26.793 You must be excited.
- 26:26.876 --> 26:29.921 This is the first chapter of a happy story.
- 26:30.005 --> 26:31.631 All you have to do this evening
- 26:31.715 --> 26:33.842 is remember what it is you are looking for.
- 26:34.384 --> 26:35.468 Hmm.
- 26:35.552 --> 26:37.178 -Someone charming. -Mm-hmm.
- 26:38.471 --> 26:40.473 And handsome, of course.
- 26:40.557 --> 26:42.350 A prince or a duke, perhaps.
- 26:42.434 --> 26:45.312 It is not a man's appearance or title that will woo you.
- 26:45.395 --> 26:48.231 It is his mind and spirit that will court yours.
- 26:49.316 --> 26:51.943 He will speak in a manner that only your heart can hear.
- 26:54.154 --> 26:56.031 That is what you are looking for.
- 26:56.615 --> 26:58.658 That is the true love you deserve.
- 27:07.250 --> 27:08.168 This one?
- 27:08.710 --> 27:10.837 -They will not be ready.
- 27:40.825 --> 27:43.161 Just remember to breathe, Bon.
- 27:43.244 --> 27:44.329 Ah.
- 27:47.123 --> 27:49.709 The Marquis of Ashdown.
- 27:49.793 --> 27:53.546 A little young, to be sure, but he has 10,000 a year.
- 27:54.130 --> 27:58.093 The Earl of Gloucester. His wife recently died of influenza.
- 27:58.677 --> 28:01.012 He might make a particularly estimable addition
- 28:01.096 --> 28:02.889 to your dance card this evening, Miss Sharma.
- 28:02.972 --> 28:05.850 I will not be taking to the floor tonight, Lady Danbury.
- 28:05.934 --> 28:08.603 Is there someone back home you've yet to tell me about?
- 28:08.687 --> 28:10.522 Come now. I am long past all of that.
- 28:10.605 --> 28:13.650 The only match I am interested in is for my sister.
- 28:13.733 --> 28:17.445 She trusts me implicitly. Now, what about the Duke of Suffolk?
- 28:17.529 --> 28:20.240 According to Debrett's, he should be quite the catch this year.
- 28:20.323 --> 28:22.242 The duke flaunts his mistresses.
- 28:22.325 --> 28:25.954 I assure you, Miss Sharma, I have our prospects well in hand.
- 28:26.037 --> 28:26.996 Ah.
- 28:27.080 --> 28:28.873 There she is.
- 28:32.794 --> 28:34.337 So many flowers,
- 28:35.213 --> 28:37.632 when what I really seek is a gem.
- 28:38.425 --> 28:39.426 Oh.
- 28:40.051 --> 28:41.594 So soon, Lady Danbury?
- 28:44.514 --> 28:48.059 Lady Danbury. A delightful soiree, as expected.
- 28:48.143 --> 28:51.479 Though my own later this week will be much more exclusive.
- 28:51.563 --> 28:54.733 Your Majesty, I would not think to compare.
- 28:54.816 --> 28:56.234 And rightly so.
- 28:56.317 --> 28:59.612 Your Majesty, may I present Lady Mary Sharma,
- 28:59.696 --> 29:01.448 whom you must remember.
- 29:01.531 --> 29:03.742 And may I present her daughters,
- 29:03.825 --> 29:07.036 Miss Sharma and Miss Edwina Sharma,
- 29:07.120 --> 29:09.914 my personal special guests for the season.
- 29:09.998 --> 29:11.750 A high honor, indeed.
- 29:11.833 --> 29:14.043 I hear you have made quite a journey
- 29:14.127 --> 29:16.796 to join us again after all these years, Lady Mary.
- 29:16.880 --> 29:18.757 If only you had extended the courtesy
- 29:18.840 --> 29:21.718 of offering your queen a final farewell before you left.
- 29:25.889 --> 29:29.976 Oh, I do relish a challenge.
- 29:43.198 --> 29:45.241 Stop fussing with your dress.
- 29:45.325 --> 29:46.326 You look lovely, dear.
- 29:46.409 --> 29:48.453 I look like a prize calf, trussed up for auction.
- 29:49.829 --> 29:51.456 Even Daphne felt most apprehensive
- 29:51.539 --> 29:54.292 at her first official ball, and look how well her season turned out.
- 29:54.375 --> 29:55.210 Oh, right.
- 29:55.293 --> 29:56.586 Oh.
- 29:56.669 --> 29:59.672 Come, Sister. The cakes at these occasions are surprisingly good.
- 29:59.756 --> 30:01.466 Uh… Uh…
- 30:04.552 --> 30:06.596 It truly is a sparse crop.
- 30:06.679 --> 30:09.682 Oh, I am sure there is someone here who will charm you.
- 30:10.475 --> 30:14.896 After all, this is the season the viscount intends to find a wife.
- 30:16.481 --> 30:18.983 -You honestly just did that? -I believe I did.
- 30:19.067 --> 30:20.819 -Lady Bridgerton.
- 30:20.902 --> 30:22.237 Lord Bridgerton.
- 30:22.320 --> 30:24.614 -Dance, please, Lord Bridgerton? -Good evening.
- 30:29.619 --> 30:32.413 Is that Lady Mary Sheffield Sharma?
- 30:32.497 --> 30:34.916 I can't believe she would show her face here again.
- 30:34.999 --> 30:36.626 A scandal, Mama?
- 30:36.709 --> 30:39.087 Lady Mary was the incomparable of our season,
- 30:39.170 --> 30:42.841 until she fell in love with and married some kind of clerk, I hear.
- 30:42.924 --> 30:45.385 The two of them absconded to India thereafter.
- 30:45.468 --> 30:48.638 A maharajah I would have understood,
- 30:48.721 --> 30:52.684 but the man was no more than a common worker who already had a child.
- 30:52.767 --> 30:54.060 That must be her.
- 30:54.143 --> 30:55.478 The older one.
- 30:55.562 --> 30:59.148 Lady Mary's parents, the Sheffields, never lived down the shame, did they?
- 30:59.232 --> 31:01.526 Too ashamed to show their faces in London.
- 31:01.609 --> 31:04.320 If only every family could be as respectable as ours.
- 31:04.404 --> 31:06.614 Yes, Lady Featherington?
- 31:09.826 --> 31:11.286 Dearest!
- 31:11.369 --> 31:12.328 My love.
- 31:19.419 --> 31:20.253 Hmm.
- 31:20.753 --> 31:22.297 Mr. and Mrs. Finch.
- 31:22.380 --> 31:24.632 Lady Featherington.
- 31:24.716 --> 31:27.760 It is a delightful surprise to see you in attendance.
- 31:27.844 --> 31:30.430 After such a long mourning period.
- 31:30.513 --> 31:33.224 Almost as long as our son has been courting Philippa,
- 31:33.308 --> 31:34.851 if you can imagine.
- 31:34.934 --> 31:36.019 Yes.
- 31:36.603 --> 31:39.731 It has been a difficult time, indeed.
- 31:39.814 --> 31:42.400 Darkness has been our candle in recent months.
- 31:42.483 --> 31:44.402 Mmm. Have you come unaccompanied?
- 31:44.485 --> 31:46.613 Or has the new heir finally come to manage
- 31:46.696 --> 31:48.948 this unsettled business of your daughter's dowry?
- 31:51.868 --> 31:54.746 "Unsettled." That is the precise word, Mr. Finch,
- 31:54.829 --> 31:57.081 because I, too, have been…
- 31:57.165 --> 31:59.125 …very unsettled, indeed.
- 31:59.709 --> 32:02.795 Shaken to the bone, in fact, by…
- 32:02.879 --> 32:04.505 …by grief.
- 32:04.589 --> 32:07.800 Missing my dear, dear, very dead husband.
- 32:07.884 --> 32:10.094 -I told you it was too soon!
- 32:10.178 --> 32:12.597 You told me you wished for the boy to be out of the house!
- 32:14.223 --> 32:17.101 Our apologies, Lady Featherington.
- 32:17.602 --> 32:20.855 Do let us know when you are more… settled.
- 32:20.939 --> 32:22.357 -Yes?
- 32:35.620 --> 32:36.955 -Number eight? -Yes.
- 32:37.038 --> 32:38.498 I know that gentleman.
- 32:38.998 --> 32:41.250 -Who? -The viscount?
- 32:41.834 --> 32:44.963 I do not believe I have yet made an introduction.
- 32:45.046 --> 32:46.089 Of course.
- 32:46.965 --> 32:48.549 It must be my mistake.
- 32:48.633 --> 32:50.677 Though you have quite the eye.
- 32:50.760 --> 32:54.055 Viscount Bridgerton is wealthy, well-connected,
- 32:54.138 --> 32:57.433 and from one of the ton's most illustrious families.
- 32:57.517 --> 32:59.560 Apparently hoping to marry this season,
- 32:59.644 --> 33:03.773 he may very well be our most eligible bachelor, indeed.
- 33:03.856 --> 33:05.149 He is very handsome.
- 33:05.233 --> 33:06.109 Yes.
- 33:07.402 --> 33:08.695 I suppose he is.
- 33:09.445 --> 33:13.658 Lord Corning. I was hoping to see you this evening.
- 33:13.741 --> 33:17.203 Allow me to introduce Miss Sharma
- 33:17.745 --> 33:20.164 and Miss Edwina Sharma.
- 33:20.790 --> 33:24.293 It is a pleasure. Miss Edwina, would you honor me with a dance?
- 33:24.377 --> 33:25.670 Corning, you said?
- 33:25.753 --> 33:27.380 The Baron Corning.
- 33:31.259 --> 33:33.011 I would be delighted, my lord.
- 33:38.641 --> 33:41.853 I do not recall reading of Corning's family in my research.
- 33:41.936 --> 33:45.273 It does not matter what you have and have not read.
- 33:45.356 --> 33:47.400 It is unacceptable here
- 33:47.483 --> 33:49.777 for a lady to decline a dance with a gentleman
- 33:49.861 --> 33:52.655 unless she's already reserved by another.
- 33:53.156 --> 33:55.992 I see we have much to learn.
- 34:04.625 --> 34:05.752 Spanish dance?
- 34:11.674 --> 34:14.469 And they say Millerson has a whelp in the country.
- 34:14.552 --> 34:16.304 Spitting image of his father.
- 34:18.806 --> 34:19.807 There you are.
- 34:19.891 --> 34:22.977 Oh, Pen, I'm so glad to see you. Mama is already being insufferable.
- 34:23.061 --> 34:25.521 At least she did not see fit to dress you as a sunflower.
- 34:25.605 --> 34:27.732 I declare a bee might mistake me for the real thing.
- 34:27.815 --> 34:30.735 Miss Bridgerton. May I request your next dance?
- 34:30.818 --> 34:32.737 Or I might accompany you to fetch some lemonade?
- 34:32.820 --> 34:34.864 -You seem parched. -How can you tell? Is she wilting?
- 34:34.947 --> 34:36.074 Or punch, if you prefer?
- 34:36.157 --> 34:38.367 -A plant pun, if you're wondering. -Apologies, gentlemen.
- 34:38.451 --> 34:40.912 I regret to inform you that my dance card is already full.
- 34:45.875 --> 34:48.961 Lord Byron? Wellington? Eloise, these names are false!
- 34:49.045 --> 34:51.339 I am merely following my sister's valuable advice.
- 34:51.422 --> 34:53.341 She told me that it is of the utmost importance
- 34:53.424 --> 34:55.968 for a lady's dance card to be filled with all of the right names.
- 34:56.052 --> 34:57.428 -Eloise?
- 34:57.512 --> 34:59.430 There you are, dear.
- 34:59.514 --> 35:02.100 Come. There is someone I would like you to meet.
- 36:03.744 --> 36:05.538 -Bridgerton!
- 36:11.043 --> 36:12.378 I owe you a drink.
- 36:12.461 --> 36:13.337 Whatever for?
- 36:13.421 --> 36:16.799 With you as the prize catch of the season, the rest of us shall receive a respite
- 36:16.883 --> 36:19.218 from the marriage-minded mamas this season, indeed.
- 36:19.302 --> 36:21.345 Enjoy your freedom while it lasts.
- 36:21.429 --> 36:24.599 You, too, will soon submit to this ridiculous rigmarole of courtship.
- 36:25.183 --> 36:28.978 Squiring every eligible miss around town until you're barely able to see straight.
- 36:29.061 --> 36:31.147 Is one lady unlike any other?
- 36:31.230 --> 36:34.442 Simply pick the least objectionable and get her wed, bed, and bred.
- 36:34.525 --> 36:36.903 Then you can return to more pleasurable pursuits.
- 36:36.986 --> 36:39.322 And more pleasurable partners.
- 36:39.405 --> 36:42.241 You may be cavalier, but if I must leg-shackle myself in marriage,
- 36:42.700 --> 36:44.994 the lady in question should have more to recommend her.
- 36:45.077 --> 36:46.871 Do not tell us you are hoping for a love match?
- 36:46.954 --> 36:48.581 Love is the last thing I desire.
- 36:49.123 --> 36:50.958 But if my children are to be of good stock,
- 36:51.042 --> 36:53.419 then their mother must be of impeccable quality.
- 36:53.502 --> 36:55.671 A pleasing face, an acceptable wit,
- 36:56.422 --> 36:58.633 genteel manners enough to credit a viscountess.
- 36:58.716 --> 36:59.884 It should not be hard to find.
- 37:00.468 --> 37:03.346 And yet, the debutantes of London fall short at every turn.
- 37:03.429 --> 37:06.891 You want the best. Perhaps the queen will finally name a diamond.
- 37:06.974 --> 37:09.602 Save you some trouble. At least, of choosing her.
- 37:09.685 --> 37:11.771 Wooing the piece will be a different story, indeed.
- 37:11.854 --> 37:13.272 I shall have no problem there.
- 37:16.150 --> 37:18.402 -Smoking room, gentlemen? -I shall be there anon.
- 37:31.290 --> 37:32.500 Is someone there?
- 37:38.005 --> 37:39.048 I can hear y…
- 37:42.468 --> 37:43.302 you.
- 37:44.262 --> 37:45.513 Pardon me, my lord.
- 37:46.055 --> 37:47.598 I never got your name.
- 37:48.766 --> 37:50.434 I was wondering if we'd meet again.
- 37:50.518 --> 37:52.603 So you might discern if my wit is acceptable,
- 37:52.687 --> 37:53.729 my manners genteel?
- 37:54.605 --> 37:55.690 You were eavesdropping?
- 37:55.773 --> 37:56.983 It was hardly an effort,
- 37:57.066 --> 37:59.860 seeing as you were proclaiming your many requirements for a wife
- 37:59.944 --> 38:01.654 loud enough for the entire party to hear.
- 38:01.737 --> 38:02.822 You take issue with them?
- 38:02.905 --> 38:06.117 I take issue with any man who views women merely as chattels and breeding stock.
- 38:06.200 --> 38:07.159 None of that was meant--
- 38:07.243 --> 38:08.661 Viscount Bridgerton, yes?
- 38:08.744 --> 38:11.080 When you manage to find this paragon of virtue,
- 38:11.163 --> 38:14.000 whatever makes you think <i>she</i> will accept<i> your </i>suit?
- 38:14.083 --> 38:17.169 Are the young ladies of London truly so easily won
- 38:17.253 --> 38:19.672 by a pleasing smile and absolutely nothing more?
- 38:19.755 --> 38:21.215 So, you find my smile pleasing.
- 38:21.299 --> 38:23.259 I find your opinion of yourself entirely too high.
- 38:23.843 --> 38:27.054 Your character is as deficient as your horsemanship.
- 38:27.138 --> 38:28.597 I shall bid you good night.
- 38:47.325 --> 38:48.409 Ah. Pen!
- 38:48.993 --> 38:50.995 Pen. Are you going somewhere?
- 38:51.078 --> 38:55.374 I was… just getting some air. It is so very stifling in the ballroom.
- 38:56.500 --> 38:59.045 -The air or the dreary conversation?
- 38:59.670 --> 39:01.964 I do suppose this is the one benefit of being out.
- 39:02.048 --> 39:04.967 I have you to run off with. We shall never have to be alone.
- 39:06.635 --> 39:08.220 My thoughts exactly.
- 39:13.017 --> 39:15.353 Have you seen your brother or your sister?
- 39:15.436 --> 39:17.646 They managed to escape you? Good for them.
- 39:20.566 --> 39:23.736 Lady Danbury. Splendid evening.
- 39:23.819 --> 39:25.404 For the most part.
- 39:25.488 --> 39:28.532 There are a few guests whose absence I might not have regretted.
- 39:28.616 --> 39:30.618 I do hope I am not one of them.
- 39:30.701 --> 39:33.371 You and I have common interests this season, it seems.
- 39:33.454 --> 39:36.040 I heard. Your wards, I look forward to meeting them.
- 39:36.123 --> 39:38.376 And I look forward to showing these other mamas
- 39:38.459 --> 39:40.336 how the game <i>ought </i>to be played.
- 39:40.419 --> 39:43.923 Though, it appears you have already stoked the fire by informing them
- 39:44.006 --> 39:46.384 of the viscount's intentions for this season.
- 39:46.467 --> 39:48.886 My son said he was ready. Who am I to question it?
- 39:48.969 --> 39:51.097 They all must come around eventually, I suppose.
- 39:51.180 --> 39:52.640 Lady Danbury, we wish to leave.
- 39:52.723 --> 39:54.433 Miss Sharma, allow me to introduce you--
- 39:54.517 --> 39:56.894 Charmed. My mama is already in our carriage.
- 39:56.977 --> 39:58.312 We will see you at home.
- 39:59.021 --> 40:02.358 People are watching, my dear. You are clearly upset--
- 40:02.441 --> 40:04.860 What is clear is we are woefully unprepared
- 40:04.944 --> 40:07.822 to navigate this lion's den. I am sure Edwina's absence
- 40:07.905 --> 40:10.074 will only make her that much more desirable.
- 40:10.908 --> 40:13.702 It truly was a magnificent soiree, Lady Danbury.
- 40:13.786 --> 40:15.371 We are most grateful.
- 40:18.749 --> 40:19.667 Well,
- 40:20.251 --> 40:23.295 it would seem both of us may have our hands full this year.
- 40:23.379 --> 40:25.423 Not if I have something to say about it.
- 40:25.506 --> 40:30.177 And as you very well know, I always have something to say.
- 40:33.347 --> 40:35.057 Delightful evening, Mama!
- 40:35.141 --> 40:36.225 Night, Sisters!
- 40:36.308 --> 40:38.060 Good night, young ladies!
- 41:30.404 --> 41:32.448 -Can you go any faster? -Yes, miss!
- 41:41.999 --> 41:44.251 Lawks, I thought you weren't coming.
- 41:44.335 --> 41:46.629 My mistress apologizes for the delay.
- 41:46.712 --> 41:48.589 This is for today. It must print before noon.
- 41:51.675 --> 41:53.260 Last edition's takings, yes?
- 41:54.011 --> 41:57.097 800 copies at five pence apiece, sold for eight pence each,
- 41:57.181 --> 42:00.392 minus the delivery boys' wages, there should be eleven pounds,
- 42:00.476 --> 42:01.936 two shillings here altogether.
- 42:02.019 --> 42:04.230 My mistress is willing to take an even ten.
- 42:04.313 --> 42:06.815 You get to keep the surplus for your rapid service.
- 42:06.899 --> 42:11.445 These delays will be more frequent now due to an… unforeseen circumstance,
- 42:11.529 --> 42:13.239 so, it's really a bargain.
- 42:18.744 --> 42:20.871 <i>There is nothing quite like</i>
- 42:20.955 --> 42:24.291 <i>the sweet-scented smell of success.</i>
- 42:24.375 --> 42:27.753 <i>But after taking in the scene</i> <i>from last night's festivities,</i>
- 42:27.836 --> 42:32.174 <i>it is clear the season won't be</i> <i>quite so fragrant for everyone.</i>
- 42:35.678 --> 42:38.347 <i>The Viscount Bridgerton's own mama</i>
- 42:38.430 --> 42:41.183 <i>may have loudly declared her eldest son's</i>
- 42:41.267 --> 42:43.185 <i>lofty intentions to marry,</i>
- 42:43.811 --> 42:46.397 <i>yet I cannot be the only one wondering</i>
- 42:46.480 --> 42:49.692 <i>if this former Capital-R-Rake</i>
- 42:49.775 --> 42:52.444 <i>is, indeed, ready to flourish.</i>
- 42:55.489 --> 42:58.492 <i>Perhaps the viscount, like the rest of us,</i>
- 42:58.576 --> 43:03.372 <i>is simply waiting for the queen</i> <i>to finally name her diamond.</i>
- 43:03.455 --> 43:05.708 <i>Or perhaps this author</i>
- 43:05.791 --> 43:08.669 <i>should take matters into her own hands.</i>
- 43:08.752 --> 43:11.213 I shall not be hustled into making my selection.
- 43:11.297 --> 43:12.339 Not by anyone.
- 43:12.423 --> 43:13.716 Of course, Your Majesty.
- 43:13.799 --> 43:14.967 Take this away.
- 43:15.050 --> 43:17.428 And bring me a list of the peerage.
- 43:26.020 --> 43:27.813 Some tea, my lord?
- 43:27.896 --> 43:29.898 Perhaps some warm milk may be better.
- 43:30.482 --> 43:31.984 Oh! Are those marbles?
- 43:32.651 --> 43:33.736 What fun!
- 43:35.029 --> 43:36.447 Might I go and read now?
- 43:37.531 --> 43:40.826 <i>Though,</i> <i>of the many purportedly well-trained</i>
- 43:40.909 --> 43:44.288 <i>and bred hothouse flowers</i> <i>on display this year,</i>
- 43:44.913 --> 43:47.416 <i>this author must wonder</i>
- 43:47.499 --> 43:51.712 <i>if a more surprising choice</i> <i>might still be in store.</i>
- 43:53.422 --> 43:56.133 The younger one would do, if the eldest just got out of the way.
- 43:56.216 --> 43:57.843 The sister is dreadful.
- 44:03.974 --> 44:05.643 Not on my chair!
- 44:12.232 --> 44:16.487 <i>Whichever darling miss</i> <i>receives such high esteem,</i>
- 44:16.570 --> 44:21.784 <i>let us hope there is a suitor available</i> <i>of only the sharpest wit,</i>
- 44:21.867 --> 44:27.373 <i>lest his dry musings leave</i> <i>a young lady wilting like a parched rose.</i>
- 44:28.499 --> 44:31.543 It is rather clever the way she uses plant puns to belittle.
- 44:32.795 --> 44:34.129 Clever indeed!
- 44:35.047 --> 44:37.132 The candlesticks, see what they're worth.
- 44:38.008 --> 44:39.176 Yes, ma'am.
- 44:43.430 --> 44:46.475 -There. You see?
- 44:48.602 --> 44:49.978 Lady Goring was quite taken
- 44:50.062 --> 44:52.481 with Eloise's dress last night, Madame Delacroix.
- 44:52.564 --> 44:56.193 She would keep saying how well it complemented her complexion.
- 44:56.985 --> 44:59.029 She said you reminded her of Daphne, dearest.
- 44:59.113 --> 45:01.115 I am not Daphne.
- 45:02.074 --> 45:03.742 -This is the one. -Ah.
- 45:03.826 --> 45:05.786 With pleasure, Lady Bridgerton.
- 45:10.124 --> 45:13.210 You do know, Eloise, that you might enjoy the next ball
- 45:13.293 --> 45:14.962 if you, in fact, danced with someone.
- 45:15.838 --> 45:18.298 Meeting new people, it can be thrilling.
- 45:18.382 --> 45:21.468 Yes, it certainly seemed as though Anthony had a thrilling time.
- 45:21.552 --> 45:24.054 Swept away by many a nimble-footed young lady, Brother?
- 45:24.138 --> 45:26.223 I can still barely feel my toes.
- 45:26.306 --> 45:28.392 I thought you ladies were taught to dance.
- 45:28.475 --> 45:31.186 I thought you gentlemen capable of worthwhile conversation.
- 45:31.270 --> 45:33.188 How sad both of our hopes were dashed.
- 45:35.941 --> 45:38.402 I think Eloise would make a brilliant diamond.
- 45:38.485 --> 45:40.529 I could not agree more, Hyacinth.
- 45:40.612 --> 45:43.574 Perhaps Her Majesty will take note at her ball tomorrow night.
- 45:44.074 --> 45:46.034 -I despise you.
- 45:49.246 --> 45:50.247 Madame Delacroix.
- 45:50.914 --> 45:52.624 I didn't know you were back in town.
- 45:52.708 --> 45:53.834 Bien sûr!
- 45:53.917 --> 45:56.962 Who else could dress these delicate debutantes for the season?
- 45:59.047 --> 46:01.300 Does that mean I shall see you later on tonight?
- 46:02.050 --> 46:03.802 I hear there's a party.
- 46:05.262 --> 46:08.432 I have much work to do, Mr. Bridgerton,
- 46:09.057 --> 46:12.269 and my art must come before all else.
- 46:13.437 --> 46:14.938 Enjoy your time.
- 46:19.693 --> 46:20.527 Brother.
- 46:26.074 --> 46:29.870 Are you and the modiste still, uh, making a stitch?
- 46:29.953 --> 46:31.830 Apparently not. Have you found a wife yet?
- 46:31.914 --> 46:34.666 Or are you planning to offend every girl until there are none left?
- 46:34.750 --> 46:35.626 Is Mother aware?
- 46:35.709 --> 46:38.295 -Aware of what? -I'm off to deal with our solicitor.
- 46:39.254 --> 46:41.131 Have fun with your pretty pictures, Brother.
- 46:45.135 --> 46:46.804 -Anthony?
- 46:48.722 --> 46:53.018 There were some lovely young ladies in attendance last night, were there not?
- 46:53.602 --> 46:55.771 Lady Delilah has beautiful manners,
- 46:55.854 --> 46:59.566 and I hear Miss Goodrum is very accomplished in her needlework.
- 46:59.650 --> 47:01.485 Perhaps you shall get to know them better soon.
- 47:01.568 --> 47:03.737 Lady Delilah can barely string a sentence together,
- 47:03.821 --> 47:07.115 and Miss Goodrum thought that Napoleon fights for the Spanish.
- 47:07.616 --> 47:09.785 As for every other eager chit you pushed in my direction,
- 47:09.868 --> 47:11.453 I'd happily never lay eyes on them again.
- 47:11.537 --> 47:13.372 -Anthony-- -I am looking for perfection, Mother.
- 47:13.455 --> 47:14.623 And you should be too.
- 47:14.706 --> 47:17.709 The woman I marry shall be the Viscountess Bridgerton.
- 47:17.793 --> 47:20.504 The lady of this household, responsible for launching my sisters
- 47:20.587 --> 47:21.797 and bearing my children.
- 47:22.464 --> 47:24.174 Do you desire them to be raised by a woman
- 47:24.258 --> 47:27.010 who does not know how to so much as hold a map right side up?
- 47:28.470 --> 47:30.347 This is the duty I must fulfill.
- 47:33.684 --> 47:35.310 You will end up alone
- 47:36.228 --> 47:38.063 with such expectations.
- 47:43.402 --> 47:44.403 Good day, Mother.
- 48:07.801 --> 48:09.803 Why is it so quiet in here?
- 48:10.345 --> 48:11.638 Because I am alone?
- 48:12.264 --> 48:13.724 Reading, as I always do.
- 48:14.224 --> 48:16.935 You are so boring.
- 48:17.561 --> 48:22.649 I will be perfectly putrefied if Philippa does manage to marry Finch.
- 48:22.733 --> 48:26.153 "Petrified." The word is "petrified."
- 48:29.239 --> 48:30.115 What is that?
- 48:30.198 --> 48:31.283 What is what?
- 48:31.783 --> 48:33.702 -What you are writing. -I am not writing.
- 48:33.785 --> 48:34.661 But you were.
- 48:34.745 --> 48:36.788 Prudence. Do not-- Hand it back!
- 48:36.872 --> 48:39.207 Why, you little devil-doll!
- 48:39.291 --> 48:41.710 This is what occupies your "quiet" time?
- 48:41.793 --> 48:44.254 What are you ladies doing, still up?
- 48:45.005 --> 48:46.048 Penelope was writing…
- 48:47.758 --> 48:49.301 to Colin Bridgerton.
- 48:50.218 --> 48:52.638 Well, that would explain the ink all over her fingers.
- 48:52.721 --> 48:54.139 I declare, Penelope.
- 48:54.222 --> 48:55.891 -Colin is my friend!
- 48:55.974 --> 48:59.227 As if he would ever waste his ink on someone like you.
- 48:59.311 --> 49:01.063 -Are these worth anything? -What?
- 49:01.688 --> 49:04.691 Your books. Books can be worth something, can they not?
- 49:04.775 --> 49:06.068 I do not think so, Mama.
- 49:06.151 --> 49:07.444 Oh, pity.
- 49:09.655 --> 49:11.365 You must stop wasting your precious time
- 49:11.448 --> 49:14.284 on such pointless pursuits as writing silly letters.
- 49:15.077 --> 49:19.873 Colin Bridgerton is no more your friend than I am the next Catherine the Great.
- 49:21.083 --> 49:24.378 Now, wipe your hands, lest someone should think you a commoner.
- 49:43.480 --> 49:44.481 Ma'am.
- 49:45.232 --> 49:46.316 A letter for you.
- 49:58.787 --> 50:01.164 Your tea grows cold.
- 50:01.748 --> 50:03.917 My horses do not.
- 50:04.418 --> 50:07.587 Did you plan to ride again tomorrow morning?
- 50:10.966 --> 50:13.635 I know all that goes on in my home.
- 50:14.344 --> 50:17.097 And since you insist on sneaking around,
- 50:17.639 --> 50:19.933 I may as well save us both the trouble.
- 50:20.434 --> 50:23.812 Correspondence from your grandparents, the Sheffields.
- 50:23.895 --> 50:25.397 I wrote to them before you arrived.
- 50:25.480 --> 50:28.150 Those people are not my grandparents, Lady Danbury.
- 50:28.233 --> 50:30.485 I have no relation to them whatsoever, in fact.
- 50:31.528 --> 50:35.741 It seems you have not been straightforward with me.
- 50:35.824 --> 50:39.369 I realize I should not have gone out for a morning ride without a chaperone.
- 50:39.453 --> 50:41.455 And what about failing to tell me
- 50:41.538 --> 50:44.374 why you have <i>truly</i> come to London with your sister?
- 50:45.042 --> 50:47.127 I'm rather more concerned about that.
- 50:49.421 --> 50:51.465 We have come to find Edwina a husband.
- 50:52.382 --> 50:53.884 And is that all?
- 50:54.551 --> 50:56.595 You would be wise to reconsider
- 50:56.678 --> 50:59.639 resorting to more forgeries and half-truths, Miss Sharma.
- 51:00.557 --> 51:05.145 Very few attempt to outwit me, and even fewer succeed.
- 51:05.896 --> 51:09.775 You are living under my roof, under my care,
- 51:09.858 --> 51:13.195 relying on my good name, my connections, my money.
- 51:13.695 --> 51:17.657 I vouched for you and your sister in front of Her Majesty the Queen,
- 51:17.741 --> 51:18.950 all because
- 51:20.035 --> 51:24.372 I thought I was paying a kindness to an old friend--
- 51:24.456 --> 51:27.501 And we are truly grateful for everything.
- 51:28.627 --> 51:32.297 Your mama misses your father, naturally.
- 51:32.798 --> 51:35.842 But she never really wanted to come back here, did she?
- 51:35.926 --> 51:36.968 You did!
- 51:38.512 --> 51:41.723 I have no interest in being used as a pawn in someone else's game.
- 51:41.807 --> 51:43.266 That is not what we are doing.
- 51:43.350 --> 51:46.978 Then tell me what stipulations the Sheffields have apparently set down
- 51:47.062 --> 51:49.022 with regard to Edwina's match.
- 51:49.106 --> 51:51.817 Stipulations which, if met, will, I am guessing,
- 51:51.900 --> 51:55.529 guarantee great fortune for you and your family.
- 51:58.907 --> 52:01.701 Edwina must marry an Englishman of nobility.
- 52:07.415 --> 52:10.961 They could not control your mama's marriage,
- 52:11.044 --> 52:13.964 so they mean to interfere with your sister's.
- 52:14.047 --> 52:14.923 Yes.
- 52:15.006 --> 52:18.552 They never recovered from my father's lack of rank and title.
- 52:19.261 --> 52:23.140 Though let me assure you, Lady Danbury, I am not here for selfish reasons.
- 52:24.224 --> 52:27.894 After my father died, Mama and I did the best we could
- 52:27.978 --> 52:31.731 to raise Edwina, all so she would never know of our struggles.
- 52:32.899 --> 52:36.153 But our money ran low. We used the last for this very journey.
- 52:36.236 --> 52:39.823 The Sheffields have agreed to bestow a sizable dowry on my sister,
- 52:39.906 --> 52:41.575 and to look after my mama.
- 52:42.325 --> 52:44.536 But only if Edwina marries properly.
- 52:52.085 --> 52:53.503 And what about you?
- 52:54.629 --> 52:57.674 If I could marry for the sake of my family, I would.
- 52:57.757 --> 53:01.261 But I am not my mama's daughter by birth. Edwina is.
- 53:01.344 --> 53:02.304 Oh.
- 53:03.555 --> 53:05.682 I've spent the last eight years
- 53:05.765 --> 53:08.351 raising my sister to walk in the right way,
- 53:08.435 --> 53:11.479 to talk in the right way, to play the pianoforte just so.
- 53:15.525 --> 53:19.446 Teaching her twice as much and watching her work twice as hard as anyone else.
- 53:19.529 --> 53:22.949 I even taught her how to make this pitiful excuse for tea the English so adore.
- 53:23.033 --> 53:24.576 I despise English tea.
- 53:26.328 --> 53:29.581 But if it means my sister will not be left destitute,
- 53:30.707 --> 53:32.876 then I will smile, and I will nod politely
- 53:32.959 --> 53:35.337 after each and every sip, to be sure.
- 53:38.506 --> 53:40.884 Your sister has a right to know.
- 53:40.967 --> 53:43.929 As you said, it is her future.
- 53:45.680 --> 53:49.476 That is precisely why I shield her. Because I know her.
- 53:49.559 --> 53:51.686 If she was made aware of the circumstances,
- 53:51.770 --> 53:54.022 she would marry quickly only to please us.
- 53:54.105 --> 53:56.650 She would say yes to any man kind enough to ask.
- 53:57.734 --> 54:01.988 Edwina deserves a chance to find love without such a burden.
- 54:03.865 --> 54:05.784 Please, you must not tell a soul.
- 54:07.410 --> 54:08.453 Mmm.
- 54:11.873 --> 54:15.877 <i>Formed under pressure, desired by many,</i>
- 54:15.961 --> 54:19.297 <i>yet possessed only by a fortunate few,</i>
- 54:19.381 --> 54:23.218 <i>there is nothing on earth quite so envied</i>
- 54:23.301 --> 54:24.928 <i>as a diamond.</i>
- 54:34.562 --> 54:36.773 <i>Might our queen finally</i>
- 54:36.856 --> 54:39.025 <i>extinguish the fevered speculation</i>
- 54:39.109 --> 54:41.861 <i>and bestow the highest of honors</i>
- 54:41.945 --> 54:44.864 <i>to a most fortunate young lady tonight?</i>
- 54:48.827 --> 54:52.205 <i>With so many futures at risk,</i>
- 54:52.289 --> 54:55.667 <i>I do suspect this author</i> <i>is not the only one</i>
- 54:55.750 --> 54:58.086 <i>waiting with bated breath.</i>
- 55:00.255 --> 55:04.509 I do hope you are finding everything in town to your satisfaction,
- 55:05.218 --> 55:06.219 Lady Mary.
- 55:06.303 --> 55:08.013 Indeed I am, Your Majesty.
- 55:08.096 --> 55:10.223 This time around, that is.
- 55:10.807 --> 55:15.603 Perhaps your mother would enjoy some refreshment, Miss Sharma.
- 55:23.570 --> 55:27.615 I might think Lady Mary deserves some recognition, ma'am.
- 55:27.699 --> 55:29.993 It's certainly a sign of true devotion on her part,
- 55:30.076 --> 55:32.037 having sought to introduce her daughters
- 55:32.120 --> 55:34.956 under the discerning eye of Your Majesty, after all.
- 55:35.457 --> 55:38.084 The youngest one, in particular, I think,
- 55:38.168 --> 55:42.255 will certainly make a match that will be the envy of the ton.
- 55:42.839 --> 55:46.593 Why do I sense my strings being pulled, Lady Danbury?
- 55:46.676 --> 55:49.220 You said you wanted to shake up the season.
- 55:50.305 --> 55:51.931 Now is your chance.
- 55:59.356 --> 56:01.691 Anyone here you've not yet rejected?
- 56:01.775 --> 56:04.736 You're the artist. Do you see anyone remotely inspiring?
- 56:05.737 --> 56:08.490 We shall have our diamond tonight, and I shall have a wife.
- 56:11.242 --> 56:13.495 Lady Bridgerton. Miss Bridgerton.
- 56:13.995 --> 56:17.624 Such a shame your presentation at court was so rudely interrupted.
- 56:17.707 --> 56:18.708 Shame, indeed.
- 56:18.792 --> 56:22.170 I nearly forgot you were making your debut this season.
- 56:22.253 --> 56:24.714 After your elder sister's triumph,
- 56:25.298 --> 56:28.134 perhaps good fortune might run in the family.
- 56:31.971 --> 56:34.891 Uh, it is a delightful ball, Your Majesty.
- 56:34.974 --> 56:36.726 Very diamond-y.
- 56:36.810 --> 56:39.771 Though, I must admit, I am more of an emerald person myself.
- 56:46.778 --> 56:47.612 Oh, dear!
- 56:49.447 --> 56:51.658 My favorite necklace is one of emeralds.
- 56:51.741 --> 56:54.160 -How thoughtful of you to know that. -Oh.
- 56:54.244 --> 56:55.662 It seems you have indeed
- 56:55.745 --> 56:59.082 come a long way since last year, Miss Bridgerton.
- 57:05.922 --> 57:07.132 Excuse me.
- 57:10.802 --> 57:14.264 If the queen, in fact, names Eloise the diamond,
- 57:14.347 --> 57:16.057 whom will you marry then, Brother?
- 57:16.141 --> 57:17.267 Hush, you.
- 57:32.449 --> 57:33.283 Pen!
- 57:33.366 --> 57:34.659 Pen! Pen, Pen. Pen.
- 57:34.742 --> 57:35.827 We must leave.
- 57:35.910 --> 57:38.997 The queen, she-- I somehow managed to charm her.
- 57:39.831 --> 57:43.126 -She seems to, in fact, like me. I don't-- -Eloise, you must calm down.
- 57:43.209 --> 57:44.377 Eloise Bridgerton.
- 57:44.461 --> 57:46.379 The diamond.
- 57:47.088 --> 57:50.550 Perhaps now you might stop spending time with insipid wallflowers all evening
- 57:51.134 --> 57:52.802 and refine your circle of friends.
- 57:52.886 --> 57:54.762 -I may have an opening--
- 57:54.846 --> 57:56.347 -I would rather die.
- 58:05.023 --> 58:07.817 How you managed an entire season of these absurd events
- 58:07.901 --> 58:10.612 alongside people like Cressida Cowper is beyond me.
- 58:10.695 --> 58:12.447 And it's not just her. It is all of them.
- 58:12.530 --> 58:15.492 Staring at me as if I were some fine china teapot.
- 58:15.575 --> 58:17.285 How did you do it on your own, Pen?
- 58:17.368 --> 58:19.204 I do not share your difficulties, El.
- 58:19.287 --> 58:21.873 -"Insipid wallflower," remember? -Ugh. That is not--
- 58:21.956 --> 58:23.666 Cressida is incensed that even her new dress
- 58:23.750 --> 58:24.751 cannot hide her character.
- 58:31.841 --> 58:33.218 It's not that bad, you know.
- 58:33.843 --> 58:35.595 -The wallflower thing. -Mmm.
- 58:36.262 --> 58:38.640 I always get the first glass of lemonade.
- 58:38.723 --> 58:41.017 I know who all the best dancers are just from watching.
- 58:41.684 --> 58:43.436 I can always tell when a suitor is serious
- 58:43.520 --> 58:46.773 about courtship just by how he looks when a young lady dances with another.
- 58:46.856 --> 58:50.568 The wall even affords me the chance to hear what the footmen say in secret.
- 58:51.861 --> 58:53.863 You've been keeping it from me.
- 58:56.449 --> 58:59.118 You do not have to pretend any longer, Pen.
- 59:00.828 --> 59:02.956 -You like all of this.
- 59:04.999 --> 59:07.043 -Well, it can be amusing.
- 59:09.087 --> 59:10.922 I know you have begun to think little of her,
- 59:11.005 --> 59:13.299 but is Lady Whistledown still not a source of amusement?
- 59:13.383 --> 59:15.134 It's not that I think little of her.
- 59:16.094 --> 59:17.845 When she was gone, I thought I would miss her.
- 59:17.929 --> 59:20.557 I thought I needed her to make sense of this world. But…
- 59:21.057 --> 59:24.602 now she is back, reporting on the same old things.
- 59:24.686 --> 59:26.688 Just another reminder of how trapped I am.
- 59:30.316 --> 59:31.985 I can feel people's eyes on me.
- 59:32.068 --> 59:35.405 Every time I walk into a ballroom, I know they are comparing me to Daphne.
- 59:35.488 --> 59:40.076 She was so good at being the diamond and it made my mother so happy.
- 59:41.327 --> 59:42.745 I can never live up to that.
- 59:43.329 --> 59:46.291 I do not <i>want</i> to live up to that, but it does not make it any easier to know
- 59:46.374 --> 59:49.752 you are constantly disappointing people just by walking into a room.
- 59:51.337 --> 59:52.922 I never thought of it that way.
- 59:54.632 --> 59:57.176 No one truly notices me.
- 59:58.970 --> 01:00:00.346 I suppose that is what I like.
- 01:00:01.848 --> 01:00:04.100 When you're invisible, you have all the amusement you want
- 01:00:04.183 --> 01:00:07.061 without any of the expectations popularity brings.
- 01:00:07.145 --> 01:00:08.688 It frees you.
- 01:00:10.815 --> 01:00:13.401 Do you think that is why Whistledown remains anonymous?
- 01:00:14.485 --> 01:00:15.403 Perhaps.
- 01:00:17.030 --> 01:00:19.157 Do you think that is why Cressida is so cruel?
- 01:00:19.866 --> 01:00:20.700 No.
- 01:00:21.492 --> 01:00:23.911 I think she just wears her hair too tight.
- 01:00:30.960 --> 01:00:32.128 Oh.
- 01:00:40.053 --> 01:00:42.472 Your presence is noted,
- 01:00:42.555 --> 01:00:44.932 and your queen most appreciative.
- 01:00:46.225 --> 01:00:51.648 Allow it to now be my honor to present to you the season's diamond.
- 01:01:02.909 --> 01:01:04.577 Miss Edwina Sharma.
- 01:01:21.135 --> 01:01:24.013 You look at her the way I look at a finished painting, Brother.
- 01:01:24.097 --> 01:01:25.932 Every man needs a muse, does he not?
- 01:01:40.738 --> 01:01:42.281 Viscount Bridgerton.
- 01:01:43.032 --> 01:01:45.618 Have you yet met my new incomparable?
- 01:01:46.703 --> 01:01:49.414 I am most grateful for the introduction, Your Majesty.
- 01:01:49.497 --> 01:01:52.250 I only hope I shall be afforded the pleasure of a dance.
- 01:02:02.885 --> 01:02:04.762 I suppose I should thank you.
- 01:02:05.805 --> 01:02:09.100 Oh, child. It is much too soon for that.
- 01:02:10.143 --> 01:02:13.229 You must know the real work begins now.
- 01:02:13.312 --> 01:02:15.606 Indeed. There will be a mire to wade through
- 01:02:15.690 --> 01:02:17.442 on behalf of my sister, to be sure.
- 01:02:17.525 --> 01:02:19.402 Speaking of, where <i>is</i> my sister?
- 01:02:21.821 --> 01:02:24.949 Forgive my directness. Do you have any thoughts about children?
- 01:02:25.450 --> 01:02:27.577 Other than the fact that I desire them so?
- 01:02:28.453 --> 01:02:31.748 However many I have, my lord, I shall feel most fortunate.
- 01:02:31.831 --> 01:02:34.667 Together with my husband, we will chart the best course.
- 01:02:35.251 --> 01:02:36.419 How very sensible.
- 01:02:37.587 --> 01:02:39.964 Do you play any musical instruments, by chance?
- 01:02:41.382 --> 01:02:42.967 Many, in fact.
- 01:02:43.050 --> 01:02:47.388 But, for the most part, my education was taken up by more serious pursuits.
- 01:02:49.056 --> 01:02:51.893 Modern languages, classical literature.
- 01:02:51.976 --> 01:02:53.436 I do love to read.
- 01:02:55.980 --> 01:02:59.484 You do not seem discomposed by my line of questioning.
- 01:03:00.318 --> 01:03:01.527 Why ever would I be?
- 01:03:01.611 --> 01:03:05.239 A man who knows what he wants is most admirable.
- 01:03:06.866 --> 01:03:09.452 Is your father in attendance? I should like to speak with him.
- 01:03:10.578 --> 01:03:12.872 Sadly, my father died years ago.
- 01:03:13.748 --> 01:03:14.707 Ah.
- 01:03:15.792 --> 01:03:16.876 I'm so sorry.
- 01:03:19.128 --> 01:03:20.004 As did mine.
- 01:03:27.512 --> 01:03:29.889 Though, perhaps you could speak with my sister.
- 01:03:30.473 --> 01:03:32.850 It is her blessing you shall need if we are…
- 01:03:32.934 --> 01:03:34.143 Oh! Here she is now.
- 01:03:34.227 --> 01:03:35.978 -Kate! -Ah, Lord Bridgerton.
- 01:03:36.062 --> 01:03:38.731 I see you've met Miss Edwina. This is--
- 01:03:38.815 --> 01:03:39.774 Her sister.
- 01:03:39.857 --> 01:03:41.317 -Miss Sharma, my lord. -Oh.
- 01:03:43.778 --> 01:03:46.364 The Viscount Bridgerton is a most excellent dancer.
- 01:03:46.447 --> 01:03:48.991 Perhaps I may learn a thing or two from you, my lord.
- 01:03:49.075 --> 01:03:51.494 Would you join me in the retiring room, Sister?
- 01:03:53.913 --> 01:03:55.206 Is something wrong, Didi?
- 01:03:55.289 --> 01:03:58.042 You are not to go near that man. Do you understand?
- 01:04:00.253 --> 01:04:02.547 She is a lovely diamond, dearest.
- 01:04:02.630 --> 01:04:03.589 Indeed.
- 01:04:05.091 --> 01:04:06.592 She is who I shall marry.
- 01:04:07.593 --> 01:04:10.304 There are a few things I must make you aware of.
- 01:04:10.388 --> 01:04:14.308 <i>Color, clarity, carat, cut.</i>
- 01:04:14.392 --> 01:04:18.896 <i>At long last, the queen</i> <i>has named her most precious stone.</i>
- 01:04:22.358 --> 01:04:24.235 What is all this?
- 01:04:26.821 --> 01:04:27.655 Ma'am.
- 01:04:28.281 --> 01:04:29.448 He is here.
- 01:04:30.032 --> 01:04:31.826 The new Lord Featherington.
- 01:04:35.162 --> 01:04:36.789 Lady Featherington.
- 01:04:37.957 --> 01:04:40.251 That still work if we are not married?
- 01:04:40.334 --> 01:04:41.627 It's rather strange.
- 01:04:42.545 --> 01:04:44.755 I thought the heir was old.
- 01:04:44.839 --> 01:04:46.924 -I thought the heir was ugly. -Ladies.
- 01:04:47.008 --> 01:04:49.510 It is quite all right. You must mean my father.
- 01:04:49.594 --> 01:04:51.512 And no offense taken. He was ugly.
- 01:04:51.596 --> 01:04:52.805 And very old.
- 01:04:52.889 --> 01:04:55.975 So old that, well, he died.
- 01:04:56.976 --> 01:05:00.646 I'm terribly sorry for my late arrival. I made the trip from America.
- 01:05:00.730 --> 01:05:02.899 But don't worry, I've started taking care of things.
- 01:05:02.982 --> 01:05:05.276 Philippa. That must be you.
- 01:05:05.359 --> 01:05:07.361 Your dowry to that fine Finch fellow is paid.
- 01:05:07.445 --> 01:05:09.322 The late Lord's books are on their way to me now.
- 01:05:09.405 --> 01:05:11.866 And I even took the liberty of having your possessions
- 01:05:11.949 --> 01:05:13.868 moved from your bedchamber, Lady Featherington.
- 01:05:13.951 --> 01:05:15.703 Yes, it's still strange.
- 01:05:15.786 --> 01:05:17.705 You had my possessions moved?
- 01:05:17.788 --> 01:05:21.083 Well, I shall be taking over those rooms, now that the home is mine.
- 01:05:21.167 --> 01:05:22.376 You understand, yes?
- 01:05:23.878 --> 01:05:25.379 It is like you said, Mama.
- 01:05:25.463 --> 01:05:27.590 The new Lord Featherington is here to provide.
- 01:05:31.302 --> 01:05:34.430 <i>While this author finds Miss Edwina Sharma</i>

- 01:05:42.438 --> 01:05:43.898 <i>A shift.</i>

- 01:05:50.821 --> 01:05:55.451 <i>Should a woman not be valued</i> <i>for so much more than her dancing skills</i>
