Немыслимая участь
Описание
Королеве Шарлотте не терпится узнать о свадебных планах Энтони и Эдвины. Она желает сама организовать свадьбу, подняв этим свой авторитет. Леди Фезерингтон, оказывается в финансовой западне: она уже не может отменить помолвку, иначе разразится грандиозный скандал, но и оставаться ни с чем она тоже не собирается. Бенедикт начинает обучение в художественной академии. Элоиза проникает на собрание тайного общества, где обсуждаются весьма смелые идеи. Там она знакомится с Тео, автором буклетов, которыми зачитывается девушка. Леди Бриджертон в очередной раз говорит Энтони, что он ошибся в выборе невесты, поскольку не любит эту девушку. Она намекает, что если Эдвина сама расторгнет помолвку, её никто не осудит. Во время ужина с Шеффилдами (дедом и бабушкой Эдвины) правда об их договорённостях с Кейт выходит наружу.

- 00:51.051 --> 00:51.885 Мисс Шарма.
- 00:56.890 --> 00:58.141 Виконт Бриджертон.
- 00:58.767 --> 01:00.685 Мы уже не чаяли вас увидеть.
- 01:00.769 --> 01:04.314 Ваше Величество, ничто не удержит меня вдали от моей невесты.
- 01:11.821 --> 01:12.864 Расскажите мне
- 01:12.947 --> 01:14.616 о планах на свадьбу.
- 01:14.699 --> 01:18.203 Надеюсь, разрешение на венчание не потребуется.
- 01:18.703 --> 01:20.246 Нет, Ваше Величество.
- 01:20.830 --> 01:23.666 Думаю, мы устроим скромное семейное торжество.
- 01:24.250 --> 01:26.544 Возможно, за городом, в Обри-холле.
- 01:26.628 --> 01:27.629 За городом?
- 01:29.881 --> 01:31.341 Нет, так не годится.
- 01:31.424 --> 01:33.843 Торжество должно быть здесь, в городе.
- 01:33.927 --> 01:37.472 Пожалуй, я сама устрою вашу свадьбу.
- 01:40.391 --> 01:42.602 - Это так великодушно, мэм. - Очень.
- 01:42.685 --> 01:45.188 - Но вовсе не обязательно. - Ерунда.
- 01:45.271 --> 01:47.107 Ведь она мой бриллиант.
- 01:47.190 --> 01:51.861 Будет правильно, если я устрою вам подобающую свадьбу.
- 01:51.945 --> 01:55.115 К тому же, признайте,
- 01:55.198 --> 01:58.159 в этом блестящем браке есть и моя заслуга.
- 01:59.619 --> 02:01.955 Я прослежу за каждой деталью.
- 02:02.038 --> 02:04.833 Покажу этой сплетнице, как со мной тягаться.
- 02:11.589 --> 02:15.552 Сестра, правда, это удивительно? Словно ожившая сказка.
- 02:15.635 --> 02:17.512 Ты этого заслуживаешь.
- 02:18.096 --> 02:21.391 Брак по любви того заслуживает.
- 02:22.892 --> 02:24.853 Прошу прощения, Ваше Величество.
- 02:35.196 --> 02:37.490 <i>Безумства соперничества.</i>
- 02:37.574 --> 02:41.035 <i>Волнующий восторг,</i> <i>охватывающий, когда рискуешь всем.</i>
- 02:41.119 --> 02:45.415 <i>Я сейчас вовсе не о соблазнах</i> <i>блестящих игровых заведений Лондона.</i>
- 02:45.498 --> 02:49.043 <i>Речь об игре</i> <i>с куда более высокими ставками.</i>
- 02:49.711 --> 02:50.879 <i>Брак.</i>
- 02:51.796 --> 02:55.049 <i>Ведь когда подобная ставка сделана,</i>
- 02:55.133 --> 02:57.844 <i>ее не так-то просто аннулировать.</i>
- 02:57.927 --> 03:00.221 <i>Уверена, этот факт</i>
- 03:00.305 --> 03:02.724 <i>приносит одновременно сожаления</i>
- 03:02.807 --> 03:04.934 <i>и огромное облегчение.</i>
- 03:05.018 --> 03:07.228 …будет 12 перемен блюд, а еще я спою.
- 03:07.312 --> 03:08.646 Боже милосердный.
- 03:08.730 --> 03:12.150 Можно подумать, они сразили на поле брани самого Наполеона.
- 03:12.233 --> 03:15.028 Всего-то нашли того, с кем можно пойти к алтарю.
- 03:15.111 --> 03:17.697 О да. Из-за всей шумихи с помолвкой Пруденс
- 03:17.780 --> 03:19.741 мама забыла о моём существовании.
- 03:19.824 --> 03:22.744 Она рада, что кузен Джек обеспечил будущее семьи.
- 03:23.328 --> 03:25.246 Должна признать, я тоже.
- 03:26.706 --> 03:29.125 Не трогай. Посмотреть разрешаю.
- 03:32.587 --> 03:34.797 …пекарь всё еще ждет оплату.
- 03:34.881 --> 03:37.008 Как и угольщик.
- 03:37.550 --> 03:41.721 Новый лорд Фэзерингтон должен был восстановить наше положение,
- 03:41.804 --> 03:45.391 а в итоге я опять не могу наскрести на необходимое.
- 03:45.475 --> 03:48.686 Всё это дело ваших рук, леди Фэзерингтон.
- 03:48.770 --> 03:51.773 Не устрой вы эту злополучную помолвку,
- 03:51.856 --> 03:54.651 мы бы все безбедно жили на приданое мисс Каупер.
- 03:54.734 --> 03:57.237 Давайте. Вините меня в том, что я поверила
- 03:57.320 --> 04:00.281 в ваши россказни о состоянии, нажитом на рубинах.
- 04:00.365 --> 04:02.575 Поделись вы своими планами,
- 04:02.659 --> 04:06.621 мне бы не пришлось увольнять слуг, которых я только вернула.
- 04:06.704 --> 04:09.123 Всё это решится, если вы отмените свадьбу
- 04:09.207 --> 04:11.793 и позволите мне жениться на мисс Каупер.
- 04:11.876 --> 04:13.336 А бедняжка Пруденс?
- 04:13.419 --> 04:15.964 Ее репутация и так под вопросом.
- 04:16.047 --> 04:20.385 Нет, уже слишком поздно. Вы должны жениться на ней.
- 04:20.468 --> 04:22.971 Я что-нибудь придумаю.
- 04:23.054 --> 04:24.847 Что ж, думайте быстрее.
- 04:50.873 --> 04:52.500 Вы один из новичков?
- 04:53.126 --> 04:54.544 Неужели так очевидно?
- 04:54.627 --> 04:56.629 Берегите эту юношескую энергию.
- 04:56.713 --> 04:59.382 Скоро вы выдохнитесь так же, как и все мы.
- 04:59.465 --> 05:02.552 В конце концов, все модели похожи друг на друга,
- 05:03.136 --> 05:04.178 согласны?
- 05:20.320 --> 05:23.573 Всё равно не то. Манжеты слишком коротки, видите?
- 05:23.656 --> 05:24.699 Хорошо, сэр.
- 05:26.826 --> 05:29.203 Времени достаточно, чтобы всё подогнать.
- 05:29.287 --> 05:31.039 Свадьба только через месяц.
- 05:31.122 --> 05:32.498 У нас много дел.
- 05:32.582 --> 05:34.334 - Мисс Эдвина переедет сюда? - Да.
- 05:34.417 --> 05:37.628 Она станет хозяйкой дома и будет отвечать за всех вас.
- 05:37.712 --> 05:39.130 - Боже, помоги ей. - Кстати.
- 05:39.213 --> 05:42.175 Нужно отполировать экипажи, заплести гривы лошадям,
- 05:42.258 --> 05:43.634 достать лучшее серебро.
- 05:43.718 --> 05:47.221 Королева предоставит дворец, но и здесь всё должно быть готово.
- 05:47.305 --> 05:51.100 А что насчет нас, брат? Тоже следует отполировать и заплести?
- 05:51.184 --> 05:52.518 Мы все будем на виду.
- 05:52.602 --> 05:55.355 Тебе не помешает отмыть руки по такому поводу.
- 05:55.438 --> 05:56.814 Я с занятий в Академии.
- 05:56.898 --> 05:59.150 - А сестра мисс Эдвины? - В смысле?
- 05:59.817 --> 06:01.486 Она тоже переедет к нам?
- 06:01.569 --> 06:04.906 Я за. Еще одна умная женщина в доме будет очень кстати.
- 06:04.989 --> 06:07.492 «Еще одна?» Ты себе льстишь.
- 06:08.076 --> 06:10.078 Элоиза, мне нужна твоя помощь.
- 06:10.161 --> 06:12.413 Нужно спланировать с леди Данбери обед
- 06:12.497 --> 06:14.832 в честь Шарма, с которыми мы породнимся.
- 06:14.916 --> 06:16.125 А еще помолвка…
- 06:16.209 --> 06:17.627 Прости, мама, но
- 06:18.294 --> 06:21.047 у меня сегодня урок. По составлению букетов.
- 06:22.131 --> 06:26.135 Пенелопу туда мать отправила. И ты настаиваешь на женских занятиях.
- 06:27.762 --> 06:29.972 Давно интересуешься цветами?
- 06:30.056 --> 06:32.225 Я женщина с широким кругозором.
- 06:33.893 --> 06:36.229 МОДИСТКА
- 06:36.312 --> 06:39.190 Я переживаю из-за отделки. Это не слишком?
- 06:39.273 --> 06:41.901 Конечно же нет. Свадьбу устраивает королева.
- 06:42.485 --> 06:44.445 Я покажу вам французский тюль.
- 06:44.529 --> 06:45.571 О да.
- 06:51.828 --> 06:55.039 Я уже говорила, что нас обвенчает сам архиепископ?
- 06:56.541 --> 06:57.750 Несколько раз.
- 06:59.377 --> 07:01.170 Тебе тоже нужно платье.
- 07:01.254 --> 07:04.006 - У меня много платьев. - Нужно особенное.
- 07:04.090 --> 07:07.301 Ведь эта свадьба не только мой триумф, но и твой.
- 07:08.136 --> 07:10.638 Что бы ты ни сказала виконту в Обри-холле,
- 07:10.721 --> 07:13.182 это убедило его сделать предложение.
- 07:13.266 --> 07:15.226 Моей заслуги в этом нет.
- 07:15.309 --> 07:17.270 Всё равно я благодарна тебе.
- 07:18.187 --> 07:20.064 Я так рада жить в Лондоне.
- 07:20.148 --> 07:23.109 Виконт сказал, что зимой может выпасть снег.
- 07:23.192 --> 07:25.027 Правда, здорово?
- 07:25.111 --> 07:26.779 Насладишься этим без меня.
- 07:26.863 --> 07:29.073 Помни, я уеду вскоре после свадьбы.
- 07:29.157 --> 07:30.867 Ты будешь приезжать в гости.
- 07:31.951 --> 07:33.786 А когда у нас появятся дети,
- 07:33.870 --> 07:35.913 ты будешь их любимой тетушкой.
- 07:36.747 --> 07:38.791 Ведь мы все одна семья.
- 07:42.044 --> 07:44.797 Что такого особенного в помолвке мисс Эдвины?
- 07:44.881 --> 07:47.216 Она совсем затмила мое счастье.
- 07:47.300 --> 07:48.843 Это нам даже на руку.
- 07:48.926 --> 07:52.889 Оставь в покое шелк. Для приданного сгодится хлопок.
- 07:53.890 --> 07:57.268 Горничная принесла платье для переделки, мадам Делакруа?
- 08:01.522 --> 08:02.899 Я получила последний.
- 08:02.982 --> 08:04.859 Напряженная неделя, верно?
- 08:05.443 --> 08:06.444 И в самом деле.
- 08:07.403 --> 08:10.323 Общество жаждет новостей о предстоящей свадьбе.
- 08:10.406 --> 08:12.658 Возможно, леди Уислдаун сообщит,
- 08:12.742 --> 08:16.120 что мне доверили сшить свадебное платье для бриллианта?
- 08:16.204 --> 08:19.081 Мои труды не обеспечили вас достаточной работой?
- 08:19.165 --> 08:20.249 Напротив.
- 08:20.333 --> 08:23.419 Но к чему ограничивать женские амбиции?
- 08:23.503 --> 08:26.214 Уж кому, как не вам, это понимать.
- 08:26.297 --> 08:28.841 Всегда можно добиться большего.
- 08:35.765 --> 08:37.600 Спасибо, Клара. Это всё.
- 08:51.781 --> 08:52.990 Лорд Бриджертон?
- 08:53.574 --> 08:54.617 Мисс Шарма.
- 08:54.700 --> 08:57.370 Лорд Бриджертон и его гость ожидают.
- 08:57.453 --> 08:58.913 Я вижу. Спасибо.
- 08:58.996 --> 09:00.414 Это ювелир.
- 09:00.498 --> 09:03.209 Мы здесь, чтобы подогнать кольцо мисс Эдвины.
- 09:03.960 --> 09:07.630 Прошу прощения, но мои сестра и мать еще не вернулись домой.
- 09:07.713 --> 09:09.966 Конечно. Не будем вас задерживать.
- 09:10.049 --> 09:11.259 Это торт?
- 09:11.884 --> 09:12.885 Вы правы.
- 09:12.969 --> 09:14.345 - Лимонный? - Простите?
- 09:14.428 --> 09:15.805 Обожаю лимонный.
- 09:21.227 --> 09:24.188 Могу я предложить вам чаю, мистер?..
- 09:24.272 --> 09:28.234 Брукс. Если вы настаиваете. Будет невежливо отказаться.
- 09:28.317 --> 09:29.944 Чай, три ложки сахара,
- 09:30.027 --> 09:32.405 сэндвичи тоже не помешают. Спасибо.
- 10:01.892 --> 10:03.853 Хорошая погода, не так ли?
- 10:04.979 --> 10:06.814 Вы хотите поговорить о погоде?
- 10:07.815 --> 10:10.401 Есть более уместная тема для разговора?
- 10:11.527 --> 10:14.989 Продолжение этой помолвки само по себе неуместно.
- 10:15.072 --> 10:17.783 Напротив, для всех это самый верный исход.
- 10:17.867 --> 10:20.703 А как же произошедшее между нами в Обри-холле?
- 10:22.246 --> 10:24.081 Между нами ничего не произошло.
- 10:25.333 --> 10:26.417 Я джентльмен.
- 10:27.585 --> 10:28.669 Неужели?
- 10:29.170 --> 10:32.673 Вынуждена напомнить вам, сэр, что если бы кто-то другой,
- 10:32.757 --> 10:35.343 не ваша сестра, застал нас в библиотеке,
- 10:35.426 --> 10:37.637 нам тоже пришлось бы вступить в брак.
- 10:37.720 --> 10:38.679 Ничего не было.
- 10:39.597 --> 10:42.391 Или наш брак - тот исход, которого вы желаете?
- 10:42.475 --> 10:43.392 Конечно же нет.
- 10:43.476 --> 10:44.977 Так возрадуемся же оба,
- 10:45.061 --> 10:47.647 что мы избежали столь немыслимой участи.
- 10:49.106 --> 10:50.483 Кстати, мисс Шарма…
- 10:51.150 --> 10:54.612 У вас с сестрой один размер перчаток?
- 10:55.237 --> 10:56.072 Я…
- 10:56.781 --> 10:58.199 Да.
- 10:58.282 --> 10:59.200 Я так и знал.
- 10:59.283 --> 11:02.036 Я могу измерить руку с расстояния в 20 шагов.
- 11:02.119 --> 11:05.247 Мы подгоним кольцо по вашей руке.
- 11:05.331 --> 11:06.916 - Простите… - Не стоит.
- 11:06.999 --> 11:08.084 Да бросьте!
- 11:16.384 --> 11:17.385 Благодарю.
- 11:34.860 --> 11:36.529 Прекрасное кольцо.
- 11:43.411 --> 11:46.664 Это кольцо отец преподнес маме перед свадьбой.
- 11:55.172 --> 11:58.300 - Лорд Бриджертон. - Они пришли подогнать кольцо.
- 11:58.384 --> 11:59.844 Мистер Брукс настоял.
- 12:02.054 --> 12:03.347 Минутку.
- 12:05.182 --> 12:06.517 Похоже, оно застряло.
- 12:06.600 --> 12:08.602 - Эдвина уже здесь. - Да.
- 12:10.312 --> 12:11.272 Кейт, ты…
- 12:11.355 --> 12:12.398 Уже почти.
- 12:17.528 --> 12:18.446 Еще…
- 12:19.071 --> 12:19.947 Еще чуть-чуть…
- 12:20.906 --> 12:21.782 Вот.
- 12:22.742 --> 12:23.701 Держи.
- 12:25.369 --> 12:27.204 Вот где вы все.
- 12:27.913 --> 12:30.708 У меня новости.
- 12:31.500 --> 12:33.919 Лорд и леди Шеффилд сообщили,
- 12:34.003 --> 12:35.546 что они в Лондоне.
- 12:35.629 --> 12:36.756 Дедушка с бабушкой?
- 12:36.839 --> 12:39.550 Именно. Они увидели объявление о помолвке
- 12:39.633 --> 12:41.510 и решили познакомиться с вами.
- 12:41.594 --> 12:44.305 И вашим будущим мужем.
- 12:44.847 --> 12:48.058 - Я буду рад встретиться с ними. - Они уже в городе?
- 12:48.142 --> 12:51.395 Они прибыли вчера вечером.
- 12:52.521 --> 12:53.606 Что-то не так?
- 12:53.689 --> 12:54.982 Вовсе нет.
- 12:55.649 --> 12:58.986 Я приглашу их на завтрашний ужин в честь помолвки.
- 12:59.069 --> 13:01.530 Уверена, это будет радостное воссоединение
- 13:01.614 --> 13:03.574 после стольких лет разлуки.
- 13:04.784 --> 13:06.535 Да, леди Мэри?
- 13:06.619 --> 13:08.037 Конечно.
- 13:08.120 --> 13:09.747 Буду рад знакомству.
- 13:10.790 --> 13:13.000 - Вы готовы прогуляться? - Да, милорд.
- 13:14.835 --> 13:16.837 У меня вдруг голова разболелась.
- 13:16.921 --> 13:20.090 Леди Данбери, вы не могли бы сопроводить мою дочь?
- 13:20.174 --> 13:21.383 Конечно.
- 13:21.467 --> 13:24.553 Свежий воздух пойдет на пользу нам с мисс Шармой.
- 13:24.637 --> 13:27.056 Я должна остаться с мамой.
- 13:27.139 --> 13:28.432 Составьте мне компанию.
- 13:52.873 --> 13:55.501 Как вы могли пригласить на ужин Шеффилдов,
- 13:55.584 --> 13:59.463 зная, как моя мать страдает из-за того, что они ее отвергли?
- 13:59.547 --> 14:04.301 Именно поэтому. Я не стану отвечать грубостью на грубость.
- 14:04.385 --> 14:07.930 К тому же, разве не вы сами желали примирения?
- 14:08.013 --> 14:10.140 Чтобы Эдвина вернулась в лоно семьи,
- 14:10.224 --> 14:13.060 получила столь необходимое вам состояние?
- 14:13.143 --> 14:15.020 Да, но только после свадьбы.
- 14:15.104 --> 14:17.857 Эдвина не знает об условиях их благосклонности.
- 14:17.940 --> 14:20.693 А если узнают Бриджертоны, они могут подумать…
- 14:20.776 --> 14:24.572 Что вы устроили брак в своих тайных интересах,
- 14:24.655 --> 14:26.991 и решат отменить свадьбу?
- 14:27.867 --> 14:33.163 Не обрадуетесь ли вы в глубине души, если виконт вдруг разорвет помолвку?
- 14:33.706 --> 14:35.374 Зачем вы так?
- 14:38.127 --> 14:40.337 Они обручены.
- 14:40.421 --> 14:43.132 Виконт сделал очаровательное предложение,
- 14:43.215 --> 14:45.634 ваша сестра с радостью его приняла.
- 14:45.718 --> 14:48.095 В глазах общества и, позволю заметить,
- 14:48.178 --> 14:50.848 самой королевы Англии, они практически женаты.
- 14:51.348 --> 14:53.601 Лишь очень серьезный скандал
- 14:54.184 --> 14:56.979 может помешать этой свадьбе состояться.
- 14:57.062 --> 15:01.108 Подобный скандал встревожит всё высшее общество
- 15:01.191 --> 15:05.821 и станет несмываемым пятном на репутации бедствующей семьи Шарма.
- 15:05.905 --> 15:08.866 Сейчас только глупец станет так рисковать.
- 15:10.492 --> 15:11.827 Скажите,
- 15:13.162 --> 15:14.371 мисс Шарма,
- 15:15.706 --> 15:17.249 вы настолько глупы?
- 15:24.423 --> 15:25.382 Нет.
- 15:30.179 --> 15:31.639 Я была в вас уверена.
- 15:32.431 --> 15:33.724 Леди Данбери.
- 15:33.807 --> 15:35.184 Мистер Дорсет.
- 15:36.852 --> 15:38.395 Рад видеть вас.
- 15:38.938 --> 15:41.148 Мисс Шарма, не составите мне компанию
- 15:41.231 --> 15:42.733 в прогулке по озеру?
- 15:43.359 --> 15:44.485 Я немного устала.
- 15:44.568 --> 15:46.320 Ваше предложение принято.
- 15:49.365 --> 15:51.742 Всё еще злитесь за тот случай на скачках.
- 15:51.825 --> 15:53.077 Я хочу извиниться
- 15:53.160 --> 15:55.329 и молить вас о прощении.
- 15:57.373 --> 16:00.167 Хорошо, милорд. Я согласна.
- 16:09.218 --> 16:11.220 Какая красивая пара.
- 16:13.681 --> 16:14.598 Простите?
- 16:15.432 --> 16:17.393 Мистер Дорсет и моя сестра.
- 16:17.476 --> 16:20.771 В прошлый раз она произвела на него сильное впечатление.
- 16:21.355 --> 16:24.108 Возможно, он убедит ее остаться в Англии.
- 16:24.900 --> 16:26.360 Она его едва знает.
- 16:26.944 --> 16:29.321 Как и я вас. Поначалу.
- 16:29.405 --> 16:32.074 Но любовь не медлит, не так ли?
- 16:32.157 --> 16:34.660 Мисс Эдвина, какие ваши любимые цвета?
- 16:34.743 --> 16:36.537 Я хочу использовать их
- 16:36.620 --> 16:38.956 в украшениях на вашей помолвке.
- 16:39.957 --> 16:43.961 Вы так добры, леди Бриджертон. Уверена, у вас отличный вкус.
- 16:54.763 --> 16:57.641 - Верно, Энтони? - Конечно.
- 17:06.150 --> 17:07.443 Посмотрите на меня!
- 17:08.944 --> 17:11.739 Твоя сестра, кажется, счастлива.
- 17:11.822 --> 17:13.866 Можно и так выразиться.
- 17:13.949 --> 17:15.617 Он интересный человек.
- 17:16.368 --> 17:18.162 У него свое дело?
- 17:18.245 --> 17:22.166 Да, рубиновые шахты в Америке. Говорят, процветающие.
- 17:22.249 --> 17:23.751 Мне стоит представиться.
- 17:23.834 --> 17:28.338 В конце концов, все остальные находят смысл в жизни.
- 17:28.422 --> 17:29.465 Энтони женится.
- 17:30.257 --> 17:33.010 Бенедикт занялся творчеством.
- 17:33.093 --> 17:34.219 Ну а я
- 17:34.803 --> 17:37.681 стою тут, кормлю уток.
- 17:38.265 --> 17:40.350 Уверена, утки очень благодарны.
- 17:41.101 --> 17:44.063 У тебя полно времени и возможностей преуспеть.
- 17:44.146 --> 17:46.273 Говоришь прямо как Элоиза.
- 17:46.356 --> 17:48.901 Кстати, где она? Я не видела ее сегодня.
- 17:49.651 --> 17:51.862 Она упоминала составление букетов.
- 17:51.945 --> 17:53.947 Кстати, вместе с тобой.
- 17:54.490 --> 17:56.325 Верно. Мы встретимся позже.
- 18:02.998 --> 18:06.418 - Это здесь. - Не похоже, что здесь делают покупки.
- 18:06.502 --> 18:08.504 Я выбираю уникальный подарок
- 18:08.587 --> 18:11.465 на свадьбу брата.
- 18:11.548 --> 18:13.592 Мисс? Мисс!
- 18:19.807 --> 18:20.933 ЗАЛ ДЛЯ СОБРАНИЙ
- 18:21.016 --> 18:23.769 С нами не должны обращаться как с вещью.
- 18:23.852 --> 18:27.231 Разговоры о правах должны основываться на трактатах Локка.
- 18:27.314 --> 18:28.482 Вы и ваши трактаты!
- 18:28.565 --> 18:30.567 Отработай вы хоть день,
- 18:30.651 --> 18:33.862 вы бы знали, что рабочим нет дела до всех этих трудов.
- 18:33.946 --> 18:36.824 А теперь, если позволите, я продолжу.
- 18:36.907 --> 18:39.201 Я выскажу радикальную идею.
- 18:39.284 --> 18:44.915 Негоже женщинам полагаться в вопросе образования на те крохи,
- 18:44.998 --> 18:48.627 что случайно перепадают от их мужей и братьев.
- 18:48.710 --> 18:49.753 Верно!
- 18:51.547 --> 18:52.840 Разве не потрясающе?
- 18:53.507 --> 18:54.383 Вы?
- 18:54.466 --> 18:55.634 Я.
- 18:55.717 --> 18:58.428 Я же сказал, что не в курсе про Уислдаун.
- 18:58.512 --> 19:00.139 Я здесь не за этим.
- 19:00.722 --> 19:02.641 А ради обмена мнениями по вопросам,
- 19:02.724 --> 19:05.769 выходящим за пределы интересов светского общества.
- 19:05.853 --> 19:08.689 Именно вы познакомили меня с этими идеями.
- 19:09.273 --> 19:11.483 Так вам понравились мои труды?
- 19:11.567 --> 19:14.778 Слишком громко сказано. Они неплохи, признаю.
- 19:14.862 --> 19:17.322 Но вы на многое пошли.
- 19:18.824 --> 19:23.287 Проделать путь из Мейфэра ради «неплохих» трудов?
- 19:23.370 --> 19:26.623 К счастью, есть чудесное изобретение - экипаж.
- 19:26.707 --> 19:29.751 Для перевозки леди из одной точки в другую.
- 19:29.835 --> 19:31.086 Прекрасная вещь.
- 19:32.296 --> 19:33.297 Как вас зовут?
- 19:33.380 --> 19:35.048 …а труды наших матерей…
- 19:35.132 --> 19:37.551 - Элоиза Бриджертон. - Очень приятно, мисс Элоиза.
- 19:38.385 --> 19:39.428 Я Тео Шарп.
- 19:39.511 --> 19:40.637 Я знаю.
- 19:40.721 --> 19:41.889 Знаете?
- 19:44.224 --> 19:48.270 В ваших доводах есть несколько ошибок, на которые я должна указать.
- 19:48.353 --> 19:51.857 У вас есть карандаш? Неважно. Я одолжу свой.
- 19:51.940 --> 19:55.194 …она согласилась выйти за вас? Позвольте мне продолжить.
- 20:08.165 --> 20:10.250 Вода прекрасно освежает.
- 20:10.334 --> 20:13.462 Сейчас так трудно обрести покой хоть на минуту.
- 20:13.545 --> 20:16.006 Именно это мне нравится в Индии.
- 20:16.089 --> 20:19.009 Многие думают, там шумно и суматошно.
- 20:19.092 --> 20:22.137 Но я нахожу ее природу необычайно умиротворенной.
- 20:23.555 --> 20:26.141 Рядом с домом, где я выросла, есть река.
- 20:26.767 --> 20:29.102 В жару я сбегала туда окунуть ноги.
- 20:29.186 --> 20:31.355 И даже подружилась с черепахами.
- 20:31.438 --> 20:32.606 Идиллия.
- 20:32.689 --> 20:33.523 Да.
- 20:34.441 --> 20:37.069 Поэтому я считаю дни до возвращения домой.
- 20:37.986 --> 20:39.905 Я думал, вы останетесь в Англии,
- 20:39.988 --> 20:42.115 ведь ваша сестра станет виконтессой.
- 20:42.199 --> 20:45.702 Моя мать и Эдвина останутся здесь. Я вернусь домой одна.
- 20:46.495 --> 20:47.829 Настоящее приключение.
- 20:48.413 --> 20:50.082 Чем займетесь на родине?
- 20:51.041 --> 20:54.670 Я буду преподавать. Стану гувернанткой, как говорят англичане.
- 21:00.592 --> 21:02.010 Настоящая отрада.
- 21:02.803 --> 21:05.806 Быть независимой, вести собственное хозяйство.
- 21:05.889 --> 21:08.475 Возможно, принимать у себя старых друзей?
- 21:08.558 --> 21:11.019 Я давно думал вернуться в Индию.
- 21:11.103 --> 21:15.023 Там можно многому научиться в вопросах медицины.
- 21:17.693 --> 21:19.444 Если вы окажетесь в Индии,
- 21:19.987 --> 21:23.073 я с радостью покажу вам места, которые знаю.
- 21:25.867 --> 21:28.412 Я должен работать в клубе, Элис.
- 21:29.037 --> 21:30.872 А не прогуливаться.
- 21:30.956 --> 21:32.249 Это работа.
- 21:32.791 --> 21:35.544 Клубу нужны новые члены. Они все здесь.
- 21:35.627 --> 21:37.045 Мистер Мондрич.
- 21:37.129 --> 21:39.047 Молва о вас пересекла Атлантику.
- 21:39.131 --> 21:42.759 Вы сделали МакКеллана за два раунда, верно?
- 21:43.885 --> 21:45.220 Это было давно.
- 21:45.887 --> 21:48.890 Я и сам славился неплохими ударами.
- 21:49.474 --> 21:52.394 Но с вами мне не сравниться, это точно.
- 21:54.062 --> 21:56.648 Заходите в клуб Уилла, пообщаетесь.
- 21:56.732 --> 22:00.027 Там приятная атмосфера и всегда всем рады.
- 22:00.110 --> 22:03.780 Возможно, это самое заманчивое приглашение за последнее время.
- 22:04.573 --> 22:06.199 Можно вас на пару слов?
- 22:07.117 --> 22:08.327 Простите.
- 22:08.410 --> 22:11.204 Вам напомнить, что проблемы нашей семьи
- 22:11.288 --> 22:14.750 не решить, развлекаясь в местах общественного досуга?
- 22:14.833 --> 22:17.753 А уж тем более продолжая посещать модистку.
- 22:17.836 --> 22:19.671 Я видел последние счета.
- 22:19.755 --> 22:22.299 Вы должны искать пути выхода,
- 22:22.382 --> 22:24.259 а не погружать нас в долги.
- 22:24.343 --> 22:25.719 Говорите тише!
- 22:25.802 --> 22:27.304 Погибели нам желаете?
- 22:27.387 --> 22:30.182 Вы отлично справляетесь без меня.
- 22:42.235 --> 22:44.321 Сестра, вижу, ты улыбаешься.
- 22:44.905 --> 22:47.199 В Лондоне столько развлечений.
- 22:47.282 --> 22:49.576 В Индии тоже есть вода.
- 22:49.659 --> 22:53.080 Моя сестра неустанно ищет предлоги, чтобы я осталась.
- 22:53.163 --> 22:55.248 Я поддержу ее в этом стремлении.
- 22:55.332 --> 22:56.750 Узел ни к чёрту.
- 22:56.833 --> 22:58.001 Ничего подобного.
- 22:58.085 --> 23:00.379 Неважный из вас мореход, Дорсет.
- 23:00.462 --> 23:01.463 Позвольте.
- 23:07.260 --> 23:08.178 Простите.
- 23:14.267 --> 23:15.394 Мисс Шарма.
- 23:15.977 --> 23:17.145 Лорд Бриджертон.
- 23:37.958 --> 23:39.835 Боже! Вы целы?
- 23:40.627 --> 23:44.840 О да! Даже приятно немного освежиться.
- 23:44.923 --> 23:46.299 Верно, Бриджертон?
- 23:49.511 --> 23:50.470 Вода освежает.
- 23:54.266 --> 23:56.017 Перестань. Нельзя глазеть.
- 24:21.626 --> 24:23.378 Пенелопа, что ты здесь делаешь?
- 24:23.462 --> 24:25.297 Наша прогулка. Как обычно.
- 24:25.380 --> 24:26.882 Прости, я совсем забыла.
- 24:27.966 --> 24:31.178 Ясно. Вчера ты пропустила потрясающую сцену на озере.
- 24:31.261 --> 24:33.054 Купание братца? Я слышала.
- 24:33.138 --> 24:34.306 Где ты была?
- 24:34.931 --> 24:39.686 Увы, я была вынуждена заниматься утомительными свадебными делами.
- 24:39.769 --> 24:42.022 Мама и сегодня меня загрузила.
- 24:42.105 --> 24:44.149 Извини, но прогулки не выйдет.
- 24:45.275 --> 24:47.652 - Увидимся завтра? - Конечно.
- 24:56.369 --> 24:57.996 Простите. Мисс?
- 25:01.917 --> 25:04.419 Мисс Элоиза вчера потеряла сумочку.
- 25:04.503 --> 25:06.421 Я могу сходить за ней.
- 25:06.505 --> 25:08.256 Где именно она была?
- 25:09.049 --> 25:10.800 Вам ее не найти, мисс.
- 25:10.884 --> 25:14.346 Я предупреждала ее, что улицы Блумсбери не место для леди.
- 25:27.359 --> 25:29.486 - Что вы делаете? - Лорд Фэзерингтон.
- 25:30.111 --> 25:33.990 Мистер Брукс пришел взглянуть на мои украшения.
- 25:34.074 --> 25:36.284 Прелестная работа, верно?
- 25:37.160 --> 25:37.994 О да.
- 25:38.078 --> 25:39.955 Сейчас не лучшее время.
- 25:40.038 --> 25:42.123 - Он должен зайти позже. - Ерунда.
- 25:42.207 --> 25:44.918 Он уже здесь, и ему не трудно, верно?
- 25:58.765 --> 26:00.559 Речь только о чистке.
- 26:00.642 --> 26:03.645 Но я хотела бы знать, сколько можно за него выручить.
- 26:04.604 --> 26:07.941 Если оно дорогое, буду с ним осторожнее.
- 26:08.024 --> 26:13.280 Для окончательной оценки мне потребуются мои инструменты,
- 26:13.363 --> 26:16.449 но я бы сказал, что вы должны очень его беречь.
- 26:16.533 --> 26:19.369 Редко увидишь столь чистые камни.
- 26:20.078 --> 26:22.914 Какая прекрасная новость.
- 26:24.708 --> 26:27.961 Спасибо за экспертное мнение, мистер Брукс.
- 26:28.044 --> 26:31.715 Я свяжусь с вами, если мне понадобится что-то еще.
- 26:31.798 --> 26:33.925 - Торт не предложите? - В другой раз.
- 26:37.679 --> 26:40.140 Забыли, что эти камни - фальшивка?
- 26:40.223 --> 26:41.725 Качественная фальшивка.
- 26:41.808 --> 26:44.728 Если они провели этого чревоугодника,
- 26:44.811 --> 26:47.022 то помогут нам продержаться сезон.
- 26:48.857 --> 26:51.067 Надеюсь, вы знаете, что творите.
- 26:55.322 --> 26:58.491 Миссис Варли, мы не станем распускать прислугу.
- 26:59.492 --> 27:01.745 Надеюсь, у него их много, мэм.
- 27:01.828 --> 27:04.080 Одна побрякушка положение не исправит.
- 27:29.856 --> 27:32.067 Позволю заметить, это очень неплохо.
- 27:32.150 --> 27:35.153 Я способна не только позировать обнаженной.
- 27:35.236 --> 27:36.905 Мистер…
- 27:36.988 --> 27:39.074 Бриджертон. Я в этом не сомневаюсь.
- 27:39.157 --> 27:41.076 Чего не скажешь об Академии.
- 27:41.660 --> 27:43.912 Хотя в числе основателей две женщины,
- 27:43.995 --> 27:46.790 нам до сих пор запрещен доступ в аудитории.
- 27:46.873 --> 27:49.042 По крайней мере, пока мы одеты.
- 27:49.125 --> 27:51.711 Так вы работаете моделью,
- 27:51.795 --> 27:54.798 чтобы, позируя, слушать лекции?
- 27:55.382 --> 27:57.217 - Гениально. - Попробуете?
- 27:57.926 --> 27:59.886 Это сложнее, чем кажется.
- 28:05.058 --> 28:05.892 Вот так?
- 28:35.588 --> 28:37.048 Сколько мне так сидеть?
- 28:37.132 --> 28:38.717 Кто его знает.
- 28:39.884 --> 28:43.263 Мне нужно изучить мужские формы.
- 28:44.013 --> 28:45.014 Обнаженные.
- 28:47.350 --> 28:48.560 Что скажете?
- 29:10.415 --> 29:12.250 Прекрасное место, не так ли?
- 29:13.460 --> 29:14.919 Напоминает мне двор
- 29:15.003 --> 29:17.130 во дворце, где мы раньше жили.
- 29:18.631 --> 29:19.883 Умиротворяющее место.
- 29:22.969 --> 29:24.179 Да, умиротворяющее.
- 29:33.646 --> 29:36.024 Всегда можно сказаться больной
- 29:36.107 --> 29:39.486 и принести извинения за то, что пропустишь ужин.
- 29:39.569 --> 29:41.738 Леди Данбери ясно дала понять,
- 29:41.821 --> 29:44.282 что мы все должны присутствовать.
- 29:49.412 --> 29:51.247 Когда вы виделись в последний раз?
- 29:53.625 --> 29:57.253 В тот вечер, когда твой дорогой отец попросил моей руки.
- 29:57.337 --> 30:01.800 Лорд Шеффилд недвусмысленно дал понять, что не одобряет этот союз.
- 30:01.883 --> 30:04.135 Я должна была сделать выбор
- 30:04.844 --> 30:06.179 между семьей
- 30:07.514 --> 30:08.348 и сердцем.
- 30:08.431 --> 30:10.725 Ты хоть раз пожалела о своем выборе?
- 30:15.230 --> 30:17.190 С самой первой секунды
- 30:17.732 --> 30:20.026 нас с твоим отцом тянуло друг к другу.
- 30:20.109 --> 30:21.861 Это очень сильное чувство:
- 30:22.487 --> 30:25.031 понимать, что знаешь этого человека лучше,
- 30:25.114 --> 30:27.492 чем кого-либо другого.
- 30:32.580 --> 30:35.500 И всё же цена этой любви оказалась слишком дорога.
- 30:36.459 --> 30:37.794 Не волнуйся.
- 30:37.877 --> 30:41.381 Даже присутствие моих родителей не омрачит нашу радость.
- 30:41.464 --> 30:44.300 Я всегда надеялась, что вам с Эдвиной не придется
- 30:44.384 --> 30:47.428 выбирать между достатком и любовью. Так и случилось.
- 30:47.512 --> 30:50.765 Эдвина выйдет замуж по велению сердца.
- 30:51.349 --> 30:54.310 А ты всегда мечтала быть свободной.
- 30:59.983 --> 31:01.359 Конечно, мама.
- 31:02.026 --> 31:03.987 Мы все будем очень счастливы.
- 31:15.874 --> 31:19.210 Возвращение лорда и леди Шеффилд - настоящий сюрприз.
- 31:20.211 --> 31:24.966 Будет приятно увидеть воссоединение семьи, не так ли?
- 31:25.049 --> 31:27.760 Я сейчас закончу, мама. Мы не опоздаем.
- 31:35.310 --> 31:36.436 Дело не в этом.
- 31:37.478 --> 31:39.814 Я всю неделю наблюдаю за тобой.
- 31:39.898 --> 31:42.817 Я обещала себе поддержать твой выбор.
- 31:42.901 --> 31:46.446 Но мне всё труднее хранить молчание.
- 31:46.529 --> 31:48.531 Это было молчание?
- 31:48.615 --> 31:50.783 Это твоя помолвка, Энтони.
- 31:51.326 --> 31:52.493 Твой брак.
- 31:53.202 --> 31:56.205 С той, что заменит меня, став хозяйкой этого дома.
- 31:56.289 --> 31:58.416 Думаешь, мисс Эдвина не справится?
- 31:58.499 --> 32:01.628 Думаю, что это плохой пример для братьев и сестер.
- 32:01.711 --> 32:03.004 Ты женишься на той,
- 32:03.087 --> 32:05.924 к кому не испытываешь ни любви, ни привязанности.
- 32:09.844 --> 32:12.889 Пойми, брак по любви, который был у вас с отцом, -
- 32:12.972 --> 32:14.724 это исключение, не правило.
- 32:14.807 --> 32:18.603 Я желаю вам обоим испытать радость такого исключительного брака.
- 32:19.187 --> 32:22.065 Ты должен радоваться предстоящей женитьбе.
- 32:22.148 --> 32:25.818 А вместо этого похоже, что ты отправляешься на эшафот.
- 32:26.903 --> 32:28.613 Если ты не хочешь этого,
- 32:29.822 --> 32:31.574 нужно сказать об этом до…
- 32:31.658 --> 32:33.451 Мои желания не имеют значения.
- 32:35.828 --> 32:38.498 Я не могу опозорить мисс Эдвину своим отказом.
- 32:39.374 --> 32:40.333 Ты прав.
- 32:40.833 --> 32:43.127 Джентльмен не может взять слова назад.
- 32:44.629 --> 32:45.630 А женщина может.
- 32:46.381 --> 32:50.802 С юными леди часто так бывает. Получив предложение, они теряют голову,
- 32:50.885 --> 32:53.221 пока не осознают, что это не игра.
- 32:53.972 --> 32:56.265 Если бы мисс Эдвина отменила помолвку,
- 32:56.349 --> 32:58.184 никто не стал бы ее винить.
- 32:58.267 --> 33:01.020 И ты ничем бы ее не оскорбил,
- 33:01.104 --> 33:04.565 освободив от обязательств, пока вы не обменялись клятвами.
- 33:08.486 --> 33:10.530 Она не хочет разрывать помолвку.
- 33:11.030 --> 33:14.033 Но знает ли она о твоих истинных чувствах?
- 33:15.326 --> 33:16.661 Они не имеют значения.
- 33:16.744 --> 33:19.914 У меня есть обязательство - я должен жениться.
- 33:22.000 --> 33:23.251 Дорогой…
- 33:26.838 --> 33:30.591 Если у тебя есть сомнения, не отмахивайся от них.
- 33:30.675 --> 33:34.137 Сейчас ты делаешь самый главный выбор в своей жизни.
- 33:35.054 --> 33:36.806 Мое сердце будет разбито,
- 33:36.889 --> 33:39.892 если ты проведешь остаток жизни, сожалея о нём.
- 33:43.062 --> 33:45.648 Осмелюсь сказать, как и сердце твоего отца.
- 34:01.622 --> 34:03.166 Тебя что-то тревожит?
- 34:04.292 --> 34:06.085 Нет, просто голова болит.
- 34:06.627 --> 34:09.505 В последнее время столько волнений.
- 34:13.092 --> 34:17.263 Это всё, что тебя беспокоит? Я видела, как тебе неловко с виконтом.
- 34:17.805 --> 34:21.893 Я надеялась, что всё это в прошлом, ведь Энтони станет моим мужем.
- 34:22.643 --> 34:24.687 Он просил называть его по имени?
- 34:24.771 --> 34:26.773 Нет, пока нет.
- 34:26.856 --> 34:29.150 Но звучит приятно, не так ли?
- 34:30.443 --> 34:32.653 Шеффилдам понравится это платье?
- 34:33.279 --> 34:36.824 Я вся на нервах. Мне не терпится с ними познакомиться.
- 34:36.908 --> 34:38.117 Перед этим
- 34:39.035 --> 34:40.828 я должна кое-что тебе сказать.
- 34:41.537 --> 34:44.082 О твоих дедушке и бабушке и об их роли
- 34:44.749 --> 34:45.750 в нашем приезде…
- 34:45.833 --> 34:48.461 Гости прибыли.
- 34:55.093 --> 34:57.261 Не стоит, леди Данбери.
- 34:57.345 --> 34:59.555 Знаю, я должна вести себя безупречно.
- 35:00.389 --> 35:03.434 Вы считаете меня бесчувственной старой ведьмой.
- 35:04.268 --> 35:06.771 Возможно, вас удивит тот факт,
- 35:06.854 --> 35:08.731 что я устроила этот ужин
- 35:08.815 --> 35:10.566 ради вас.
- 35:11.067 --> 35:16.447 Помолвка сестры положила конец вашим надеждам относительно виконта.
- 35:16.531 --> 35:19.867 Но доступ к состоянию Шеффилдов
- 35:19.951 --> 35:23.246 станет отличной наградой, не так ли?
- 35:23.996 --> 35:27.917 Независимая жизнь -
- 35:28.000 --> 35:30.128 это не просто утешение.
- 35:30.211 --> 35:32.839 Многие сочтут, что именно вы в выигрыше.
- 35:32.922 --> 35:37.260 Когда страсть стихает, и нас настигают превратности судьбы,
- 35:37.885 --> 35:40.179 женщина остается наедине
- 35:41.013 --> 35:42.098 сама с собой.
- 35:47.103 --> 35:48.354 Пойдемте.
- 35:48.437 --> 35:50.731 Гости ждут.
- 36:02.785 --> 36:06.289 Лорд и леди Шеффилд, как же давно мы не виделись.
- 36:06.372 --> 36:10.168 Позвольте представить мисс Шарму и мисс Эдвину Шарму.
- 36:10.710 --> 36:12.962 Мое дорогое дитя!
- 36:13.045 --> 36:16.382 Она и правда так мила, как о ней говорят.
- 36:16.465 --> 36:17.466 Вы так добры.
- 36:18.509 --> 36:20.970 Я очень рада познакомиться с вами.
- 36:21.053 --> 36:24.849 Мы столько лет ждали встречи с тобой.
- 36:24.932 --> 36:27.518 Я хочу знать о тебе всё.
- 36:27.602 --> 36:29.770 Ты любишь танцевать? Музицировать?
- 36:29.854 --> 36:31.480 Сходим вместе в оперу.
- 36:31.564 --> 36:34.942 У нас отличная ложа. Она слишком долго была в запустении.
- 36:35.026 --> 36:38.946 Ваша правда. Вас давно не было видно в городе, лорд и леди Шеффилд.
- 36:39.030 --> 36:41.199 - Да. - Да, это так.
- 36:42.158 --> 36:42.992 Мама.
- 36:44.160 --> 36:45.244 Отец.
- 36:46.287 --> 36:47.705 Я очень люблю оперу.
- 36:47.788 --> 36:50.374 Моя сестра Кейт познакомила меня с ней.
- 36:53.920 --> 36:55.713 Перейдем в столовую?
- 36:55.796 --> 36:57.548 Да. Идем со мной, дитя.
- 37:06.307 --> 37:09.477 Вы обязательно должны приехать в поместье Шеффилдов.
- 37:09.560 --> 37:11.979 Оно не сравнится с Обри-холл, это точно.
- 37:12.063 --> 37:15.733 Но оно находится в прекрасном уголке Хартфордшира.
- 37:15.816 --> 37:19.987 Вы охотитесь? У нас птичные места. И мы всегда вам рады.
- 37:20.071 --> 37:22.323 Спасибо за приглашение, я люблю охоту.
- 37:23.616 --> 37:24.659 Как и Кейт.
- 37:24.742 --> 37:27.745 Они недавно чуть не подстрелили оленя.
- 37:27.828 --> 37:30.373 Как необычно.
- 37:30.456 --> 37:33.334 В Индии юных леди учат стрелять?
- 37:33.417 --> 37:35.127 Избранных счастливиц.
- 37:38.756 --> 37:40.591 Лорд и леди Шеффилд,
- 37:40.675 --> 37:42.843 вы надолго в городе?
- 37:42.927 --> 37:44.762 Мы останемся на свадьбу.
- 37:44.845 --> 37:47.390 Подумать только. Сама королева
- 37:47.473 --> 37:50.017 устраивает свадьбу моей внучки.
- 37:50.101 --> 37:54.397 Ее Величество удивительно великодушна после всего случившегося.
- 37:54.981 --> 37:58.567 - Полно. Мы все одна семья. - Да, конечно.
- 37:59.318 --> 38:03.322 Хоть наша дочь так бессердечно отвергла жениха, найденного для нее.
- 38:03.406 --> 38:05.366 - Дорогая, прошу… - Графа!
- 38:05.449 --> 38:07.410 У него было 12 000 акров!
- 38:07.493 --> 38:09.370 Любая другая юная леди
- 38:09.453 --> 38:13.666 на коленях благодарила бы родителей за подобную заботу.
- 38:13.749 --> 38:17.128 Великолепный соус, леди Данбери. Вот бы узнать рецепт.
- 38:17.211 --> 38:19.088 Думаю, это крыжовник.
- 38:19.171 --> 38:23.134 Леди Шеффилд, насколько я помню, вы сладкоежка?
- 38:23.217 --> 38:26.304 И всё ради кого? Простого клерка!
- 38:26.387 --> 38:28.764 Да еще с ребенком от предыдущего брака.
- 38:28.848 --> 38:31.017 - Бог знает с кем. - У моей матери есть имя.
- 38:31.100 --> 38:32.310 Леди Шеффилд, прошу…
- 38:32.393 --> 38:36.772 Мы годами не могли появиться в приличном обществе.
- 38:37.356 --> 38:38.607 Но что ей до этого?
- 38:38.691 --> 38:42.236 Она просто уплыла от нас с этим человеком,
- 38:42.320 --> 38:43.696 отняв у нас внучку.
- 38:43.779 --> 38:44.655 Внучек.
- 38:46.615 --> 38:47.700 У меня две дочери,
- 38:47.783 --> 38:51.245 с которыми у вас были все возможности наладить связь.
- 38:51.329 --> 38:53.289 Но вы решили отказаться от нас.
- 38:53.372 --> 38:54.248 Позволь-ка…
- 38:54.332 --> 38:56.334 Не думайте, что я смирилась с тем,
- 38:56.417 --> 38:58.794 что меня изгнали из собственной семьи.
- 38:58.878 --> 39:02.340 Мое сердце было разбито. Но со временем я поняла,
- 39:02.423 --> 39:05.176 что эта жестокость сослужила нам добрую службу.
- 39:05.259 --> 39:07.762 Это неподходящая тема для беседы за ужином.
- 39:07.845 --> 39:09.430 Согласна, прошу, возьмите…
- 39:09.513 --> 39:11.974 Изгнав меня, вы даровали мне свободу.
- 39:12.725 --> 39:16.520 Я смогла воспитать дочерей вдали от вашей постоянной критики
- 39:16.604 --> 39:19.482 и малодушных требований предпочесть
- 39:19.565 --> 39:21.776 богатство и титулы всему остальному!
- 39:22.526 --> 39:24.403 Кто бы говорил.
- 39:24.487 --> 39:27.323 Ты презираешь богачей, а сама приползла назад
- 39:27.406 --> 39:29.367 в погоне за нашим состоянием.
- 39:29.450 --> 39:31.952 - Нам стоит… - Мне от вас ничего не нужно.
- 39:32.036 --> 39:34.372 Тебе - нет, твоей дочери - очень даже.
- 39:36.999 --> 39:39.585 - Мама? - Трастовый фонд, созданный для нее.
- 39:39.668 --> 39:43.881 В условиях которого четко прописано, что она получит наследство,
- 39:43.964 --> 39:46.926 выйдя замуж за англичанина с положением в обществе.
- 39:47.802 --> 39:51.389 Ты же не думала, что мы допустим еще одно пятно
- 39:51.472 --> 39:52.848 на имени Шеффилдов?
- 39:52.932 --> 39:55.434 Сестра, о чём они говорят?
- 39:55.518 --> 39:58.020 - Что ты наделала? - Энтони, ты знал?
- 39:58.104 --> 40:00.439 Я всё объясню.
- 40:00.523 --> 40:03.567 Вижу, она унаследовала твою склонность к скрытности.
- 40:03.651 --> 40:05.653 А может, она вся в отца.
- 40:05.736 --> 40:06.737 Довольно.
- 40:08.781 --> 40:10.741 В приличном обществе вам не место
- 40:10.825 --> 40:13.202 не из-за дочери, а из-за плохих манер.
- 40:13.285 --> 40:16.831 Прибыв сюда, вы не проявили должного уважения к семье Шарма.
- 40:16.914 --> 40:18.124 Я этого не потерплю.
- 40:18.207 --> 40:21.001 - Позвольте… - Я этого не потерплю.
- 40:21.585 --> 40:24.004 Леди Мэри преуспела в воспитании дочерей.
- 40:24.088 --> 40:28.300 Это умные, добрые, порядочные женщины.
- 40:28.884 --> 40:30.511 Это заслуга обоих родителей.
- 40:31.637 --> 40:35.808 Очевидно, что вы не желаете рисковать своим положением в обществе,
- 40:35.891 --> 40:37.726 общаясь с ними.
- 40:37.810 --> 40:39.937 И не надо. Не смею вас задерживать.
- 40:40.020 --> 40:41.689 Вы шутите?
- 40:41.772 --> 40:43.774 Пошлите за экипажем Шеффилдов.
- 40:43.858 --> 40:45.109 Они подождут снаружи.
- 40:45.943 --> 40:48.404 И не ждите приглашения на свадьбу.
- 40:48.487 --> 40:50.698 Вы его не получите.
- 40:50.781 --> 40:53.284 Это переходит все границы.
- 40:54.827 --> 40:58.664 Если вы рассчитываете унаследовать хоть один соверен,
- 40:58.747 --> 41:00.458 вы жестоко ошибаетесь.
- 41:17.766 --> 41:19.560 Лорд Бриджертон, леди Бриджертон.
- 41:19.643 --> 41:21.395 - Примите мои… - Нам пора.
- 41:21.479 --> 41:22.438 Да.
- 41:23.063 --> 41:25.608 Спасибо за вечер, леди Данбери.
- 41:25.691 --> 41:27.485 Это было познавательно.
- 41:27.568 --> 41:28.569 Милорд…
- 41:28.652 --> 41:29.612 Доброй ночи.
- 41:31.530 --> 41:33.282 - Ты лгала мне. - Прошу тебя.
- 41:45.753 --> 41:47.046 Лорд Бриджертон!
- 41:48.255 --> 41:50.716 Лорд Бриджертон, прошу, выслушайте.
- 41:51.675 --> 41:53.469 - Мы должны идти. - Пожалуйста.
- 41:56.180 --> 41:57.473 Мама, увидимся дома.
- 42:08.192 --> 42:11.278 Эдвина ни в чём не виновата. Она ничего не знала.
- 42:11.362 --> 42:14.156 Приезд в Англию, поиски мужа. Я желала ей добра.
- 42:14.240 --> 42:16.700 - Нельзя на нее злиться. - Я не злюсь.
- 42:16.784 --> 42:19.828 Очевидно, что мы оба не знали о ваших интригах.
- 42:19.912 --> 42:21.872 - Интригах! - Приданого не будет?
- 42:21.956 --> 42:23.958 Шеффилды точно не помогут.
- 42:24.041 --> 42:25.334 Вас волнует приданое?
- 42:25.417 --> 42:28.671 Они отказали в нём из-за вашего поведения.
- 42:29.755 --> 42:31.131 Прискорбно, не спорю.
- 42:31.215 --> 42:33.801 Нас с мисс Эдвиной ввели в заблуждение.
- 42:33.884 --> 42:36.554 Будет лучше отменить эту злосчастную помолвку,
- 42:36.637 --> 42:37.972 пока не стало хуже.
- 42:38.556 --> 42:40.432 Я не стану порочить ее репутацию.
- 42:40.516 --> 42:42.518 Моя мать и леди Данбери придумают…
- 42:42.601 --> 42:45.646 Не нужно ничего придумывать. Я не понимаю.
- 42:45.729 --> 42:47.940 Зачем вы это предлагаете?
- 42:48.023 --> 42:50.526 Вы были полны решимости жениться на ней,
- 42:50.609 --> 42:52.861 несмотря на все мои возражения.
- 42:52.945 --> 42:55.030 А теперь отказываетесь от нее.
- 42:55.656 --> 42:56.657 Почему?
- 42:56.740 --> 42:59.368 И ни слова о приданом, сэр.
- 42:59.451 --> 43:01.579 Мы оба знаем, что оно вам не нужно.
- 43:01.662 --> 43:03.247 Так в чём ее вина?
- 43:03.330 --> 43:06.667 Ни в чём. Дело в вас. Этот брак невозможен из-за вас.
- 43:06.750 --> 43:09.712 - Но я уезжаю в Индию. - Этого недостаточно!
- 43:12.131 --> 43:14.216 Думаете, на земле найдется уголок,
- 43:14.300 --> 43:16.969 куда вы могли бы скрыться,
- 43:17.052 --> 43:18.596 избавив меня от этой муки?
- 43:19.388 --> 43:20.764 Я джентльмен.
- 43:21.724 --> 43:25.519 Отец вложил в меня понятие чести. Но сейчас она висит на волоске,
- 43:25.603 --> 43:29.148 и он истончается с каждой минутой, проведенной рядом с вами.
- 43:30.649 --> 43:33.068 Вы стали моим проклятием.
- 43:38.365 --> 43:40.868 И объектом всех моих желаний.
- 43:42.828 --> 43:45.831 Я мечтаю о вас и днем и ночью.
- 43:46.874 --> 43:48.000 И что я…
- 43:50.336 --> 43:53.672 Вы хоть представляете, как можно соблазнить женщину?
- 43:55.966 --> 43:58.135 Я могу столькому вас научить.
- 44:00.346 --> 44:04.141 Я этого не хотела.
- 44:05.392 --> 44:07.728 Не хотела одержимости этими чувствами.
- 44:09.188 --> 44:11.023 Не хотела прятаться от сестры.
- 44:12.441 --> 44:15.235 Терять ход мыслей, когда вы заходите в комнату.
- 44:15.736 --> 44:17.196 Тогда вы согласитесь.
- 44:18.697 --> 44:20.240 Это невыносимо.
- 44:21.450 --> 44:22.743 Неприемлемо.
- 44:37.466 --> 44:41.637 Если я женюсь на вашей сестре, это свяжет нас с вами навечно.
- 44:41.720 --> 44:44.848 Я буду обречен каждый день
- 44:45.474 --> 44:49.061 желать вас, мечтать о вас,
- 44:49.937 --> 44:52.981 с ужасом ждать дня, когда моя честь сдаст позиции.
- 44:54.358 --> 44:57.027 Вы такого будущего желаете нам?
- 44:57.111 --> 44:58.278 Своей сестре?
- 45:04.910 --> 45:05.953 Я должен идти.
- 45:29.643 --> 45:31.562 Так и будем сидеть как статуи?
- 45:31.645 --> 45:35.733 Я хочу на бал, похвастаться женихом.
- 45:36.775 --> 45:37.693 Варли?
- 45:39.027 --> 45:40.654 Мы не получали приглашений,
- 45:40.738 --> 45:43.824 которые вы пропустили по недосмотру?
- 45:43.907 --> 45:46.326 Нет, мэм. Ничего не приносили.
- 45:46.410 --> 45:49.872 Возможно, дело в обстоятельствах помолвки Пруденс.
- 45:49.955 --> 45:51.206 Так это моя вина?
- 45:51.290 --> 45:52.499 Я этого не говорила.
- 45:52.583 --> 45:55.794 Ведь не ты подстроила ту встречу в оранжерее, верно?
- 45:55.878 --> 45:59.590 Будем радоваться, что у нас хоть прислуга есть, верно?
- 46:10.434 --> 46:13.520 Ни одного приглашения после возвращения от Бриджертонов.
- 46:13.604 --> 46:15.439 Я сообщу почтовому служащему.
- 46:15.522 --> 46:17.065 Я не шучу.
- 46:17.149 --> 46:20.444 Предполагается, что это уважаемая знатная семья.
- 46:20.527 --> 46:24.156 Но в обществе на меня вечно смотрят свысока.
- 46:24.239 --> 46:25.657 По той или иной причине.
- 46:25.741 --> 46:28.076 Нас привечали, пока вы ходили в женихах.
- 46:28.160 --> 46:31.121 Теперь вы помолвлены, и мы снова изгои.
- 46:31.205 --> 46:33.791 Еще одна причина закончить фарс с помолвкой.
- 46:33.874 --> 46:35.459 Это не обсуждается.
- 46:40.088 --> 46:41.048 Лорд Каупер.
- 46:41.965 --> 46:43.509 Что ему от вас нужно?
- 46:43.592 --> 46:46.220 Он хочет инвестировать в шахты. Не только он.
- 46:46.303 --> 46:48.514 Богатые скучающие бездельники.
- 46:48.597 --> 46:50.516 - Соглашайтесь. - Шахты пусты.
- 46:50.599 --> 46:52.059 Там нет рубинов.
- 46:52.142 --> 46:54.853 Откуда им знать? Они не поедут в Америку.
- 46:58.649 --> 46:59.817 Вы серьезно?
- 46:59.900 --> 47:03.320 Будущее этой семьи под угрозой, милорд.
- 47:03.403 --> 47:05.781 Я в жизни не была серьезнее.
- 47:05.864 --> 47:09.701 Пусть инвестируют. Возьмите каждый фунт, что предложат.
- 47:09.785 --> 47:11.995 Наше состояние будет восстановлено.
- 47:12.079 --> 47:13.956 У вас будет приличная свадьба.
- 47:14.039 --> 47:17.084 И мне больше не придется терпеть презрение общества.
- 47:34.351 --> 47:35.394 Эдвина?
- 47:49.408 --> 47:51.493 Как только виконт начал ухаживания,
- 47:51.577 --> 47:53.954 я почувствовала, что ты что-то скрываешь.
- 47:55.038 --> 47:56.582 И я была права.
- 48:04.673 --> 48:07.676 Вся эта история с деньгами Шеффилдов.
- 48:07.759 --> 48:11.096 Ты настолько мне не доверяешь, что не могла рассказать?
- 48:11.179 --> 48:14.850 Мне очень жаль, что я скрыла это от тебя и от мамы.
- 48:14.933 --> 48:16.226 После смерти отца
- 48:16.310 --> 48:19.438 я взяла на себя управление нашими делами.
- 48:19.521 --> 48:23.650 Я написала Шеффилдам. Узнав их условия,
- 48:23.734 --> 48:26.904 я подумала, что это решит все наши проблемы.
- 48:27.446 --> 48:29.448 Я думала, что поступила правильно,
- 48:29.531 --> 48:31.533 избавив тебя от этого груза.
- 48:31.617 --> 48:33.035 Но ты должна знать,
- 48:33.994 --> 48:36.204 что он давил на меня каждый день.
- 48:38.332 --> 48:41.710 Кейт, я больше не маленькая девочка.
- 48:42.502 --> 48:45.547 Я взрослая женщина, готовая стать женой.
- 48:47.507 --> 48:48.425 Да.
- 48:49.551 --> 48:50.469 Да, я знаю.
- 48:56.475 --> 49:00.437 Если лорд Бриджертон не желает разрывать нашу помолвку,
- 49:01.939 --> 49:04.816 то состояние Шеффилдов не имеет значения, верно?
- 49:05.400 --> 49:06.944 После свадьбы с виконтом
- 49:07.027 --> 49:09.488 у всех нас будет достаточно средств.
- 49:09.571 --> 49:11.657 Он столь же щедр, сколь и богат.
- 49:12.240 --> 49:13.492 Я уверена,
- 49:14.034 --> 49:16.119 что виконт обеспечит тебя и маму.
- 49:17.621 --> 49:18.497 Он…
- 49:20.082 --> 49:21.083 Возможно.
- 49:22.084 --> 49:25.253 Но, Эдвина, ты не обязана нести это бремя.
- 49:25.337 --> 49:29.341 Разве выйти замуж за любимого - это бремя?
- 49:30.884 --> 49:32.010 Ты его любишь?
- 49:32.719 --> 49:37.224 А как иначе, когда он так благородно вступился за нас во время ужина?
- 49:39.101 --> 49:43.313 Всё, чего я желаю - стать его женой.
- 49:44.231 --> 49:46.024 Его виконтессой.
- 49:47.693 --> 49:49.236 Но он должен простить нас.
- 49:51.071 --> 49:52.572 Думаешь, он сможет?
- 49:53.907 --> 49:55.409 Этого я не знаю.
- 50:14.344 --> 50:15.554 Я ненадолго.
- 50:17.806 --> 50:19.433 ТИПОГРАФИЯ «ЧЕНСЕРИ-ЛЭЙН»
- 50:22.227 --> 50:23.979 Вы встали ни свет ни заря,
- 50:24.062 --> 50:26.314 чтобы сообщить о моих новых ошибках?
- 50:26.398 --> 50:29.026 Я могу ускользнуть незамеченной лишь на заре.
- 50:29.109 --> 50:30.235 И вы ошиблись.
- 50:30.318 --> 50:32.154 Я пришла за разъяснениями.
- 50:32.654 --> 50:33.822 Да неужели?
- 50:33.905 --> 50:35.282 Не радуйтесь.
- 50:35.365 --> 50:38.201 Это редкий случай. Не думаю, что это повторится.
- 50:39.411 --> 50:42.414 У меня вопросы по содержанию памфлета.
- 50:42.497 --> 50:45.375 С непривычки эти идеи трудно осмыслить.
- 50:45.459 --> 50:48.879 Проблема скорее в вашем умении их излагать.
- 50:48.962 --> 50:51.048 Или вы слишком мало знаете о жизни,
- 50:51.131 --> 50:52.966 чтобы в них разобраться.
- 50:56.720 --> 50:57.763 <i>Долг.</i>
- 50:57.846 --> 51:01.099 <i>Он сильнее законов или веры.</i> <i>Я частенько думала о том,</i>
- 51:01.183 --> 51:04.144 <i>что именно на долге</i> <i>зиждется наше хрупкое общество.</i>
- 51:14.946 --> 51:17.657 <i>Положение и титул обязывают нас</i> <i>выполнять долг.</i>
- 51:17.741 --> 51:20.535 <i>Хранить верность своей семье.</i>
- 51:20.619 --> 51:23.580 <i>Для этого требуется</i> <i>как полное послушание,</i>
- 51:23.663 --> 51:26.166 <i>так и абсолютная готовность</i> <i>идти на жертвы.</i>
- 51:29.503 --> 51:32.839 <i>Но как быть,</i> <i>когда долг вступает в конфликт</i>
- 51:32.923 --> 51:35.884 <i>со стремлениями сердца?</i>
- 51:37.427 --> 51:39.638 <i>В таком случае велика вероятность</i>
- 51:39.721 --> 51:42.390 <i>громкого скандала.</i>
- 51:44.434 --> 51:46.394 <i>Вопрос в том,</i>
- 51:46.478 --> 51:49.898 <i>прислушаются ли стороны</i> <i>к моему предупреждению.</i>
- 51:50.899 --> 51:52.776 <i>Или уже слишком поздно</i>
- 51:52.859 --> 51:54.903 <i>вспоминать о долге</i>
- 51:54.986 --> 51:57.781 <i>и отказываться от своих желаний?</i>
- 52:15.132 --> 52:15.966 Мисс Шарма.
- 52:16.049 --> 52:18.593 Вижу, вы не оставили свои утренние прогулки.
- 52:19.678 --> 52:20.929 Как и вы.
- 52:25.016 --> 52:26.059 Я не мог уснуть.
- 52:26.143 --> 52:27.394 Я тоже.
- 52:29.187 --> 52:30.689 Вы решили, как поступите?
- 52:36.236 --> 52:38.864 Я долго думал, но другого выхода не вижу.
- 52:41.158 --> 52:43.994 Сегодня я поговорю с мисс Эдвиной.
- 52:45.996 --> 52:47.497 Всё кончено.
- 52:47.581 --> 52:51.459 Только так мы можем выбраться из этой ситуации.
- 52:51.543 --> 52:55.505 После разрыва помолвки мы больше не должны видеться.
- 52:58.466 --> 53:00.468 Будто мы никогда не встречались.
- 53:03.597 --> 53:05.599 Так нельзя. Не смейте.
- 53:05.682 --> 53:07.642 - Мисс Шарма… - Вы разобьете ей сердце.
- 53:08.226 --> 53:11.855 Она прекрасный честный человек. Добрее души вам не найти.
- 53:11.938 --> 53:14.316 Она любила меня всем сердцем.
- 53:14.399 --> 53:18.778 Я не вынесу, если лишу ее счастья и будущего, которых она заслуживает.
- 53:19.821 --> 53:23.366 Я не понимаю. С самого начала вы были против этого союза.
- 53:23.450 --> 53:27.537 Я ошибалась! Я не допущу, чтобы вы обесчестили себя,
- 53:27.621 --> 53:29.915 а Эдвина страдала.
- 53:30.498 --> 53:34.002 Вы видели в ней идеальную пару. Поверьте в это снова.
- 53:35.128 --> 53:36.046 Прошу.
- 53:36.546 --> 53:38.340 Пожалуйста, лорд Бриджертон.
- 53:39.090 --> 53:39.925 Энтони.
- 53:40.508 --> 53:42.969 Сдержите слово. Женитесь на моей сестре.
- 53:43.053 --> 53:44.888 Как можно скорее.
- 53:44.971 --> 53:47.849 Чувства, преследующие нас, они пройдут.
- 53:47.933 --> 53:50.185 С ними можно будет мириться.
- 53:50.268 --> 53:53.021 Вскоре мы о них и не вспомним.
- 53:53.104 --> 53:55.941 Страсть проходит. Всегда.
- 54:09.537 --> 54:10.372 Хорошо.
- 54:17.003 --> 54:19.506 Свадьба состоится как можно быстрее.
- 56:31.930 --> 56:36.434 Перевод субтитров: Ксения Гребеникова
- 07:57.516 --> 07:59.246 (Говорит на французском)
- 55:10.316 --> 55:12.326 ПО МОТИВАМ РОМАНОВ ДЖУЛИИ КУИНН
- 00:20.520 --> 00:22.522 [deep breathing]
- 00:23.898 --> 00:25.692 [heartbeat quickening]
- 00:31.239 --> 00:33.241 [panting]
- 00:37.412 --> 00:38.329 [door opens]
- 00:51.051 --> 00:51.885 Miss Sharma.
- 00:56.931 --> 00:58.641 [Queen Charlotte] Viscount Bridgerton.
- 00:58.725 --> 01:00.685 We thought perhaps you'd not be joining us.
- 01:00.769 --> 01:02.020 [Anthony] Your Majesty.
- 01:02.103 --> 01:04.355 Nothing could keep me from my beautiful bride.
- 01:07.859 --> 01:09.110 [sighs deeply]
- 01:11.821 --> 01:12.864 Now,
- 01:12.947 --> 01:14.616 tell me of your wedding plan.
- 01:14.699 --> 01:18.078 There is no talk of a special license, I would hope.
- 01:18.161 --> 01:20.246 -[laughter] -Of course not, Your Majesty.
- 01:20.830 --> 01:23.666 I believe a modest family affair would be most fitting.
- 01:24.250 --> 01:26.544 Perhaps back in the country, at Aubrey Hall.
- 01:26.628 --> 01:28.046 [Queen Charlotte] In the country?
- 01:28.129 --> 01:29.005 [laughs]
- 01:29.881 --> 01:31.341 No, that will not do.
- 01:31.424 --> 01:33.843 You must have it here in town.
- 01:33.927 --> 01:37.472 In fact, I shall host the nuptials myself.
- 01:38.056 --> 01:40.308 -[Mary gasps] Oh. -[Edwina laughs happily]
- 01:40.391 --> 01:42.602 -That is most generous, Ma'am. -Most generous.
- 01:42.685 --> 01:45.188 -But not at all necessary. -[Queen Charlotte] Nonsense.
- 01:45.271 --> 01:47.107 She is my diamond, after all.
- 01:47.190 --> 01:51.861 It is only right that I give you both a wedding worthy of that title.
- 01:51.945 --> 01:55.115 Besides, one could almost credit me myself
- 01:55.198 --> 01:58.159 with bringing about this most illustrious match.
- 01:59.619 --> 02:01.955 I shall oversee every detail.
- 02:02.038 --> 02:04.833 [quietly] Let that gossipmonger try to get the better of me now.
- 02:11.589 --> 02:15.552 Can you believe it, Didi? It is like a fairytale come true.
- 02:15.635 --> 02:17.512 [chuckles] You deserve nothing less, Bon.
- 02:18.096 --> 02:20.890 Nothing less for a true love match.
- 02:20.974 --> 02:22.100 [dishes clattering]
- 02:22.892 --> 02:24.853 My apologies, Your Majesty.
- 02:35.196 --> 02:37.490 [Lady Whistledown] <i>The frenzy of competition.</i>
- 02:37.574 --> 02:41.035 <i>The thrilling delight</i> <i>of hazarding your all.</i>
- 02:41.119 --> 02:45.915 <i>I am referring not to the lure</i> <i>of London's luxurious gaming halls</i>
- 02:45.999 --> 02:49.127 <i>but to a gamble with far higher stakes.</i>
- 02:49.711 --> 02:50.920 <i>Matrimony.</i>
- 02:51.921 --> 02:55.091 <i>For once that particular wager is placed,</i>
- 02:55.175 --> 02:57.844 <i>it cannot easily be undone.</i>
- 02:58.428 --> 03:00.430 <i>A fact which, I am sure,</i>
- 03:00.513 --> 03:02.974 <i>is met with both regret</i>
- 03:03.057 --> 03:05.101 <i>and sheer relief.</i>
- 03:05.185 --> 03:07.145 …and I shall sing between each one.
- 03:07.228 --> 03:08.646 For goodness' sake.
- 03:08.730 --> 03:11.983 Anyone would think our siblings had beaten Napoleon himself on the battlefield
- 03:12.066 --> 03:14.986 instead of finding someone with whom to dutifully march down an aisle.
- 03:15.069 --> 03:17.697 Indeed. With all the hubbub about Prudence's engagement,
- 03:17.780 --> 03:19.699 my mama has rather forgotten I exist.
- 03:19.782 --> 03:22.744 She is quite happy Cousin Jack has ensured our family's future.
- 03:23.369 --> 03:25.121 I must admit, so am I.
- 03:25.205 --> 03:26.122 [Prudence laughs]
- 03:26.206 --> 03:29.167 Mm. Don't touch. You can look at it.
- 03:29.834 --> 03:31.836 [Penelope laughs]
- 03:32.587 --> 03:34.797 And the baker is still awaiting payment.
- 03:34.881 --> 03:36.841 As is, apparently, the coalman.
- 03:37.550 --> 03:40.845 The new Lord Featherington was supposed to restore our fortunes, and yet
- 03:40.929 --> 03:45.391 here I am, unable to scratch together sixpence yet again.
- 03:45.475 --> 03:48.686 Our financial predicament is entirely your doing, Lady Featherington.
- 03:48.770 --> 03:51.731 If you hadn't forced me into this ill-starred engagement,
- 03:51.814 --> 03:54.651 we'd soon be living comfortably on Miss Cowper's ample dowry.
- 03:54.734 --> 03:57.237 Oh, go on. Blame me for taking you at your word
- 03:57.320 --> 04:00.323 when you spoke of your great fortune in rubies.
- 04:00.406 --> 04:02.575 Had you thought to confide your plans,
- 04:02.659 --> 04:06.621 then I would not be considering dismissing the servants that I have just rehired.
- 04:06.704 --> 04:09.582 All of that would be solved if you would simply call off the wedding
- 04:09.666 --> 04:11.793 and allow me to set my cap at Miss Cowper again.
- 04:11.876 --> 04:13.336 And leave my poor Prudence jilted?
- 04:13.419 --> 04:15.964 When her reputation's already been called into question?
- 04:16.047 --> 04:18.007 No, it is far too late for that, my lord.
- 04:18.091 --> 04:20.385 No, you must continue in this engagement.
- 04:20.468 --> 04:22.971 I will think of something.
- 04:23.054 --> 04:24.847 Well, you'd better think fast.
- 04:50.873 --> 04:52.500 You must be one of our new fellows.
- 04:53.167 --> 04:54.585 Is it really so evident?
- 04:54.669 --> 04:56.629 Conserve that youthful vigor.
- 04:56.713 --> 04:59.382 Soon you shall be just as jaded as the rest of us.
- 04:59.465 --> 05:02.552 After all, one form is much like another,
- 05:03.136 --> 05:04.178 do you not think?
- 05:07.015 --> 05:08.808 [lilting classical music plays]
- 05:20.320 --> 05:23.573 It is not yet right. See how the cuffs are an inch too short?
- 05:23.656 --> 05:24.699 Very well, sir.
- 05:25.199 --> 05:26.159 [Violet] Hmm.
- 05:26.868 --> 05:29.245 There is plenty of time to adjust it to your liking.
- 05:29.329 --> 05:31.039 The wedding is not for another month.
- 05:31.122 --> 05:33.750 -There is still much to do. -Will Miss Edwina live with us?
- 05:33.833 --> 05:34.959 Indeed. After the wedding,
- 05:35.043 --> 05:37.628 she'll be the lady of the house and responsible for you all.
- 05:37.712 --> 05:38.546 Lord, help her.
- 05:38.629 --> 05:40.923 Which reminds me, our carriages must be polished to a shine,
- 05:41.007 --> 05:43.634 and the horses' manes braided. We should bring out the finest silver.
- 05:43.718 --> 05:45.678 The queen may be hosting everything at the palace,
- 05:45.762 --> 05:47.263 but we must be ready to entertain here.
- 05:47.347 --> 05:51.100 And what of us, Brother? Should we also be polished and braided for the big day?
- 05:51.184 --> 05:52.518 [Anthony] We'll all be on display.
- 05:52.602 --> 05:55.396 Perhaps you might even scrub your hands for the occasion?
- 05:55.480 --> 05:56.814 I've been occupied at the academy.
- 05:56.898 --> 05:59.150 -What about Miss Edwina's sister? -What about her?
- 05:59.817 --> 06:01.486 Will she come to live with us, too?
- 06:01.569 --> 06:04.906 Oh, I do hope so. It'll be a boon to have another intelligent woman in the house.
- 06:04.989 --> 06:07.492 Another? Mm. You're overcounting.
- 06:08.076 --> 06:10.078 Eloise, I shall need your help today.
- 06:10.161 --> 06:12.413 There is the dinner to plan with Lady Danbury
- 06:12.497 --> 06:16.125 to welcome the Sharmas into the family. And then the engagement ball next week--
- 06:16.209 --> 06:17.627 I am sorry, Mama, but, uh,
- 06:18.294 --> 06:21.047 I am attending a lecture this afternoon. Flower arranging.
- 06:21.130 --> 06:22.048 [Eloise chuckles]
- 06:22.131 --> 06:23.925 Penelope's mama is forcing her to go,
- 06:24.008 --> 06:26.135 and you've wanted me to find more ladylike pursuits.
- 06:26.219 --> 06:27.095 [chuckles]
- 06:27.762 --> 06:29.972 For how long have you cared about flower arranging?
- 06:30.056 --> 06:32.225 I am an open-minded woman. I can care about many things.
- 06:36.312 --> 06:39.190 I do wonder about the trim. Is it too much?
- 06:39.273 --> 06:41.901 Nothing is too much now that the queen is hosting.
- 06:42.485 --> 06:44.445 Let me show you the French tulle.
- 06:44.529 --> 06:45.571 [quietly] Oh yes.
- 06:46.197 --> 06:47.448 [exhales deeply]
- 06:50.243 --> 06:51.744 [breathes deeply]
- 06:51.828 --> 06:55.039 Did I tell you we will be married by the archbishop himself?
- 06:56.582 --> 06:57.750 Several times.
- 06:58.626 --> 07:01.170 [sighs] We must find you a dress too.
- 07:01.254 --> 07:04.006 -I have plenty of dresses. -[Edwina] This one must be special.
- 07:04.090 --> 07:07.301 After all, this wedding is as much your triumph as mine.
- 07:08.136 --> 07:10.638 Whatever you said to the viscount at Aubrey Hall, Didi,
- 07:10.721 --> 07:13.182 it clearly swayed him to declare himself.
- 07:13.266 --> 07:14.100 I… [chuckles]
- 07:14.183 --> 07:17.145 -I cannot claim credit. -[Edwina] I shall bestow it, all the same.
- 07:18.146 --> 07:20.064 It will be so exciting living in London.
- 07:20.148 --> 07:23.109 The viscount said there might even be snow this winter.
- 07:23.192 --> 07:26.696 -Won't that be exciting? -You must enjoy it without me, Bon.
- 07:26.779 --> 07:29.073 Recall I am to set sail soon after you wed.
- 07:29.157 --> 07:30.867 But you will return to visit, of course.
- 07:30.950 --> 07:33.786 [chuckles] And when the viscount and I are blessed with children,
- 07:33.870 --> 07:35.913 you shall be their favorite aunt. [chuckles]
- 07:36.747 --> 07:38.708 Think of us all together as a family.
- 07:41.127 --> 07:41.961 [Kate exhales]
- 07:42.044 --> 07:44.881 I do not know why Miss Edwina's betrothal is so special.
- 07:44.964 --> 07:47.216 She's quite overshadowed my happy news.
- 07:47.300 --> 07:50.720 A fact we may well be glad of. Put those silks down.
- 07:50.803 --> 07:52.889 Cotton will do for your trousseau.
- 07:53.890 --> 07:57.268 Has my maid yet delivered that dress that needs altering, Madame Delacroix?
- 07:57.351 --> 07:59.187 [speaking French]
- 07:59.270 --> 08:00.188 [chuckles]
- 08:01.481 --> 08:04.984 [in English] I received your latest. It's been a busy week, has it not?
- 08:05.485 --> 08:06.486 Indeed.
- 08:07.403 --> 08:10.323 The ton are quite ravenous for news of the upcoming nuptials.
- 08:10.406 --> 08:12.158 Perhaps Lady Whistledown will report
- 08:12.241 --> 08:16.162 that I have been entrusted with our diamond's wedding ensemble.
- 08:16.245 --> 08:19.123 Tell me, are my musings not offering you sufficient business?
- 08:19.207 --> 08:20.249 Indeed.
- 08:20.333 --> 08:23.419 But why should there be limits to a woman's ambitions?
- 08:23.503 --> 08:26.214 I would think you, of all people, would understand.
- 08:26.297 --> 08:28.841 There is always more to be achieved.
- 08:35.765 --> 08:37.683 Thank you, Clara. That will be all.
- 08:51.781 --> 08:52.990 Lord Bridgerton?
- 08:53.574 --> 08:54.617 Miss Sharma.
- 08:54.700 --> 08:57.370 Lord Bridgerton and his guest are waiting.
- 08:57.453 --> 08:58.913 I see that. Thank you.
- 08:58.996 --> 09:00.414 This is the jeweler.
- 09:00.498 --> 09:03.209 We are here to have Miss Edwina's betrothal ring altered to fit.
- 09:03.292 --> 09:05.044 [chuckles softly] My apologies,
- 09:05.127 --> 09:07.630 but my sister and my mother have not yet returned home.
- 09:07.713 --> 09:10.007 Of course. Then we shall trouble you no further.
- 09:10.091 --> 09:11.259 Is that cake?
- 09:11.884 --> 09:12.885 [Kate] It is indeed.
- 09:12.969 --> 09:14.387 -Lemon? -[Kate] Pardon?
- 09:14.470 --> 09:17.139 I fancy a good lemon. [chuckles]
- 09:17.723 --> 09:18.808 [Kate sighs deeply]
- 09:21.227 --> 09:24.188 Might I offer you some refreshment, Mr.…
- 09:24.272 --> 09:28.234 Brookes. Only if you insist. I mean, it would be churlish to refuse.
- 09:28.317 --> 09:31.988 Tea, three spoons of sugar, and perhaps some sandwiches too, thank you.
- 09:35.074 --> 09:36.075 [dish clattering]
- 09:53.551 --> 09:54.927 [Anthony breathes deeply]
- 09:59.599 --> 10:00.433 [exhales]
- 10:01.892 --> 10:03.853 It is fine weather we are having, is it not?
- 10:04.979 --> 10:06.814 You wish to speak to me of the weather?
- 10:07.815 --> 10:10.401 Is there another topic of conversation that'd be more appropriate?
- 10:10.484 --> 10:12.612 [exhales sharply] There is nothing appropriate
- 10:12.695 --> 10:14.989 about what you're doing proceeding with this engagement.
- 10:15.072 --> 10:17.783 On the contrary, I believe it is the most proper outcome for all.
- 10:17.867 --> 10:20.411 Oh. And what of everything that passed between us at Aubrey Hall?
- 10:20.494 --> 10:21.329 [Anthony sighs]
- 10:22.288 --> 10:23.914 Nothing passed between us.
- 10:25.333 --> 10:26.417 I am a gentleman.
- 10:27.585 --> 10:28.669 Is that so?
- 10:29.170 --> 10:32.673 Need I remind you, sir, if anyone other than your sister
- 10:32.757 --> 10:37.637 discovered us in the library that night, then we, too, would be obliged to wed.
- 10:37.720 --> 10:38.679 Nothing happened.
- 10:39.597 --> 10:42.391 Would the two of us being obliged to marry be the outcome you desire?
- 10:42.475 --> 10:43.309 Of course not.
- 10:43.392 --> 10:47.647 Then let us both be… glad we have avoided such an unthinkable fate.
- 10:49.106 --> 10:51.067 [Mr. Brookes] I say, Miss Sharma,
- 10:51.150 --> 10:54.612 do you and your sister happen to share gloves?
- 10:55.237 --> 10:56.072 I--
- 10:56.781 --> 10:58.199 Yes, on occasion.
- 10:58.282 --> 10:59.200 I knew it.
- 10:59.283 --> 11:02.036 I can take the measure of a hand at 20 paces.
- 11:02.119 --> 11:04.664 We may use your finger to size the ring.
- 11:04.747 --> 11:06.916 -Oh, I beg your pardo-- -That shan't be necessary.
- 11:06.999 --> 11:08.084 [chuckling] Nonsense!
- 11:16.384 --> 11:18.260 Thank you. [chuckles]
- 11:18.344 --> 11:19.261 [sighs]
- 11:31.065 --> 11:33.067 [slow classical music plays]
- 11:34.860 --> 11:36.529 It is a beautiful piece.
- 11:43.411 --> 11:46.664 It is the ring my father gave to my mother before they were wed.
- 11:52.628 --> 11:54.213 [footsteps approaching]
- 11:55.214 --> 11:58.300 -Lord Bridgerton? -They came to, uh, alter the ring.
- 11:58.384 --> 11:59.844 Uh, Mr. Brookes insisted.
- 12:01.470 --> 12:03.222 [sighs sharply] Just a moment.
- 12:05.182 --> 12:06.517 It appears to be stuck.
- 12:06.600 --> 12:08.602 -Well, Edwina is here now. -Yes.
- 12:10.312 --> 12:12.398 -[Edwina] Kate, are you-- -Yes, almost.
- 12:13.149 --> 12:14.150 [Kate grunts]
- 12:14.692 --> 12:15.860 [Kate sighs]
- 12:17.153 --> 12:18.446 [grunts] Just, uh…
- 12:19.071 --> 12:20.281 Just another… [grunts]
- 12:20.364 --> 12:21.699 [chuckles] There.
- 12:22.742 --> 12:24.368 -All yours. -[Lady Danbury] Ah.
- 12:25.369 --> 12:27.204 Here you all are.
- 12:27.955 --> 12:30.708 I have news.
- 12:31.542 --> 12:33.919 Lord and Lady Sheffield sent word
- 12:34.003 --> 12:35.629 they are in London.
- 12:35.713 --> 12:36.756 Our grandparents?
- 12:36.839 --> 12:39.592 Indeed. It seems they read the engagement announcement
- 12:39.675 --> 12:41.510 and wish to make your acquaintance.
- 12:41.594 --> 12:44.346 And, uh, that of your future husband, of course.
- 12:44.889 --> 12:48.058 -I should be delighted to meet them. -They are already in town?
- 12:48.142 --> 12:51.395 They arrived… last night.
- 12:52.563 --> 12:54.899 -[Anthony] Is something wrong? -Not at all.
- 12:55.649 --> 12:58.986 I shall invite them to the engagement dinner tomorrow.
- 12:59.069 --> 13:01.530 I'm sure it will be a most joyous reunion
- 13:01.614 --> 13:03.574 after all these years.
- 13:04.825 --> 13:06.535 Yes, Lady Mary?
- 13:06.619 --> 13:07.703 Indeed.
- 13:07.787 --> 13:10.206 -Hmm. I shall look forward to it. -[Lady Danbury] Ah.
- 13:10.790 --> 13:12.958 -Are you ready to promenade? -I am, my lord.
- 13:14.835 --> 13:16.837 I suddenly feel a headache coming on.
- 13:16.921 --> 13:20.090 Lady Danbury, would you be so kind as to chaperone my daughter?
- 13:20.174 --> 13:21.383 Of course.
- 13:21.467 --> 13:24.386 Miss Sharma and I would be glad of the fresh air.
- 13:24.470 --> 13:27.056 Oh, I should really stay with Mama.
- 13:27.139 --> 13:28.432 You will escort me.
- 13:29.475 --> 13:30.309 [sighs]
- 13:40.319 --> 13:42.238 [indistinct chatter]
- 13:42.321 --> 13:43.948 [children laughing]
- 13:45.533 --> 13:46.826 Whoa!
- 13:46.909 --> 13:48.285 [dog panting]
- 13:49.870 --> 13:51.664 I wish you every happiness.
- 13:52.873 --> 13:55.417 How could you invite the Sheffields to dinner
- 13:55.501 --> 13:56.627 when you know full well
- 13:56.710 --> 13:59.463 the pain my mother has suffered after their rejection of her?
- 13:59.547 --> 14:04.301 Indeed. Which is why I shall not answer their impoliteness with my own.
- 14:04.385 --> 14:07.930 And besides, is this not the reconciliation you wished for?
- 14:08.013 --> 14:10.599 Edwina returned to the bosom of the Sheffield family
- 14:10.683 --> 14:13.018 to reclaim the fortune you so desperately need?
- 14:13.102 --> 14:15.020 Yes, but not until after the wedding.
- 14:15.104 --> 14:17.857 Edwina is still in the dark about the conditions of their favor.
- 14:17.940 --> 14:20.693 And if the Bridgertons were to learn of it, they might feel--
- 14:20.776 --> 14:24.572 As if you contrived a match for your own concealed ends
- 14:24.655 --> 14:26.991 and might call off the wedding?
- 14:27.867 --> 14:29.869 I have to wonder if you might not secretly
- 14:29.952 --> 14:33.163 rejoice were the viscount to break the engagement.
- 14:33.664 --> 14:35.374 Why would you ever say such a thing?
- 14:38.127 --> 14:39.920 They are betrothed.
- 14:40.421 --> 14:43.090 The viscount made a charming proposal,
- 14:43.173 --> 14:45.593 your sister gave her giddy acceptance,
- 14:45.676 --> 14:48.095 and in the eyes of society, and, might I add,
- 14:48.178 --> 14:51.181 the Queen of England herself, they are as good as wed.
- 14:51.265 --> 14:53.601 Only a very great scandal
- 14:54.184 --> 14:56.979 would prevent this marriage from proceeding now.
- 14:57.062 --> 15:01.108 The kind of scandal that would send alarms through the entire ton
- 15:01.191 --> 15:04.403 and be a stain from which the penniless Sharma family
- 15:04.486 --> 15:05.821 would never recover.
- 15:05.905 --> 15:08.866 Only a fool would jeopardize the marriage now.
- 15:10.492 --> 15:11.744 So I ask you,
- 15:13.162 --> 15:14.371 Miss Sharma,
- 15:15.748 --> 15:17.249 are you that fool?
- 15:24.423 --> 15:25.382 No.
- 15:30.179 --> 15:31.639 I did not think so.
- 15:32.431 --> 15:33.724 [Thomas] Lady Danbury.
- 15:33.807 --> 15:35.184 Mr. Dorset.
- 15:36.852 --> 15:38.938 -What a pleasure to see you here today. -[chuckles]
- 15:39.021 --> 15:41.148 Miss Sharma, perhaps you would be so kind
- 15:41.231 --> 15:43.317 as to accompany me on a turn around the lake?
- 15:43.400 --> 15:44.485 I am rather tired.
- 15:44.568 --> 15:46.111 She would be delighted.
- 15:49.365 --> 15:51.742 You're still angry with me over that business at the races.
- 15:51.825 --> 15:53.077 I wish to apologize
- 15:53.160 --> 15:55.329 and throw myself at your mercy.
- 15:57.373 --> 16:00.292 Very well, my lord. A turn would be most pleasant.
- 16:04.171 --> 16:06.173 [chuckling and indistinct chatter]
- 16:09.176 --> 16:10.928 [Edwina] What a handsome couple they make.
- 16:11.011 --> 16:11.887 [Violet chuckles]
- 16:13.681 --> 16:14.598 Pardon me?
- 16:15.432 --> 16:17.393 Mr. Dorset and my sister.
- 16:17.476 --> 16:20.771 I noticed that he was quite smitten with her the last time they met.
- 16:21.355 --> 16:24.108 Perhaps he will convince her to stay in England, after all.
- 16:24.900 --> 16:26.360 She barely knows the gentleman.
- 16:26.944 --> 16:29.321 Nor did I you, at first.
- 16:29.405 --> 16:32.074 But love moves swiftly, does it not?
- 16:32.157 --> 16:34.660 Miss Edwina, you must tell me your favorite colors,
- 16:34.743 --> 16:36.537 so I may plan to incorporate them
- 16:36.620 --> 16:38.956 in the ornamentation for your engagement ball.
- 16:39.957 --> 16:42.001 [Edwina, fading] You are too kind, Lady Bridgerton.
- 16:42.084 --> 16:44.086 [slowed] I am certain your taste is superb.
- 16:44.586 --> 16:46.046 [Kate laughing]
- 16:46.130 --> 16:47.172 [laughter echoing]
- 16:47.256 --> 16:49.675 [Violet] …to honor both Bridgerton and Sharma families,
- 16:49.758 --> 16:51.385 now that we are to be joined.
- 16:51.969 --> 16:52.928 [chuckles]
- 16:54.722 --> 16:57.641 -[fading in] Is that not so, Anthony? -[normal] Absolutely.
- 16:59.309 --> 17:00.394 [chuckles]
- 17:04.231 --> 17:05.524 [Prudence calling out]
- 17:06.150 --> 17:07.443 Look at me!
- 17:08.944 --> 17:11.739 Your sister seems… happy.
- 17:11.822 --> 17:13.866 That is one way of putting it.
- 17:13.949 --> 17:16.285 The new Lord Featherington seems an interesting fellow.
- 17:16.368 --> 17:18.162 A man of commerce, is he not?
- 17:18.245 --> 17:22.124 Yes. He has ruby mines in America. They are flourishing, I hear.
- 17:22.207 --> 17:23.751 Perhaps I should introduce myself.
- 17:23.834 --> 17:28.338 After all, everyone else is finding some purpose to their lives.
- 17:28.422 --> 17:29.465 Anthony is to be married.
- 17:30.299 --> 17:33.010 Benedict has his artistic pursuits.
- 17:33.093 --> 17:34.219 And, well,
- 17:34.803 --> 17:37.431 here I am… feeding the ducks.
- 17:37.514 --> 17:40.225 -[quacking] -I am sure the ducks are most grateful.
- 17:41.060 --> 17:44.063 You have a good deal of time and plentiful opportunities to make your mark.
- 17:44.146 --> 17:46.273 As Eloise would no doubt remind me.
- 17:46.356 --> 17:48.901 Where is your sister? I have not seen her out today.
- 17:49.651 --> 17:51.862 She mentioned something about flower arranging
- 17:51.945 --> 17:53.822 with you today, in fact.
- 17:54.490 --> 17:56.325 Indeed. I am meeting her later.
- 17:56.950 --> 17:58.702 -Mr. Bridgerton. -[Penelope] Mm.
- 18:01.371 --> 18:02.956 -[horse snorts] -[Eloise grunts]
- 18:03.040 --> 18:04.333 This is the place.
- 18:04.416 --> 18:06.418 Doesn't look like a place for shopping to me.
- 18:06.502 --> 18:08.504 [Eloise] I am collecting a unique gift
- 18:08.587 --> 18:11.465 for my brother's wedding.
- 18:11.548 --> 18:13.592 [woman] Miss? Miss!
- 18:21.016 --> 18:23.769 It is our right to be treated not merely as chattels.
- 18:23.852 --> 18:27.064 Surely talk of rights must draw on Locke's Treatise.
- 18:27.147 --> 18:28.482 You and your treatise!
- 18:28.565 --> 18:30.567 If you've ever worked an honest day's labor,
- 18:30.651 --> 18:33.862 you know how little such grand talk serves the working man.
- 18:33.946 --> 18:36.824 Now, if I may be permitted to continue,
- 18:36.907 --> 18:39.201 I should like to propose to this assembly
- 18:39.284 --> 18:43.372 the radical idea that it is not best for women to rely
- 18:43.455 --> 18:44.915 for their education
- 18:44.998 --> 18:48.293 on what falls to them by chance from their husbands and brothers.
- 18:48.377 --> 18:49.711 [crowd] Hear! Hear!
- 18:49.795 --> 18:51.463 [crowd murmuring indistinctly]
- 18:51.547 --> 18:52.840 Is it not thrilling?
- 18:53.549 --> 18:54.383 You.
- 18:54.466 --> 18:55.634 Me.
- 18:55.717 --> 18:58.428 I told you, I don't know anything about your Whistledown gossip.
- 18:58.512 --> 19:00.139 It is not her I seek today,
- 19:00.722 --> 19:03.267 but the exchange of ideas with like-minded men and women
- 19:03.350 --> 19:05.769 on subjects beyond the trivial concerns of polite society.
- 19:05.853 --> 19:08.689 Ideas that you yourself invited me to consider.
- 19:09.273 --> 19:11.483 So, you're an admirer of my work?
- 19:11.567 --> 19:14.778 I would not go so far. It is serviceable, I suppose.
- 19:14.862 --> 19:17.739 And yet you <i>have</i> come far.
- 19:18.824 --> 19:23.287 You're a long way from Mayfair for writings that are merely serviceable.
- 19:23.370 --> 19:26.623 Luckily for me, there is a thrilling invention called a carriage
- 19:26.707 --> 19:29.751 that may convey a lady from one place to another.
- 19:29.835 --> 19:31.211 It is a marvel, to be sure.
- 19:32.254 --> 19:33.297 What's your name?
- 19:33.380 --> 19:35.007 [speaker continues indistinctly]
- 19:35.090 --> 19:37.551 -Eloise Bridgerton. -Pleased to meet you, Miss Eloise.
- 19:38.385 --> 19:39.428 I'm Theo Sharpe.
- 19:39.511 --> 19:40.637 I know.
- 19:40.721 --> 19:41.889 You know?
- 19:44.224 --> 19:46.602 As I know, there are several errors in your arguments
- 19:46.685 --> 19:48.270 that I must bring to your attention.
- 19:48.353 --> 19:51.857 Have you a pencil? Never mind. You may borrow mine.
- 19:51.940 --> 19:55.194 [speaker] …to marry you, did she not? Allow me to continue.
- 20:08.165 --> 20:10.250 It is most refreshing on the water.
- 20:10.334 --> 20:13.420 These days, it is hard to find even a moment of peace.
- 20:13.503 --> 20:16.006 One of the things I enjoyed most when I visited India.
- 20:16.089 --> 20:19.009 Many think it a bustling, noisy place,
- 20:19.092 --> 20:22.137 but I found the country most tranquil in nature.
- 20:23.555 --> 20:26.600 There's a river just outside the home where I grew up.
- 20:26.683 --> 20:29.102 On hot days, I would sneak away to soak my feet.
- 20:29.186 --> 20:31.355 The turtles and I became quite good friends.
- 20:31.438 --> 20:32.606 Sounds idyllic.
- 20:32.689 --> 20:33.523 [Kate] It is.
- 20:34.441 --> 20:37.069 Which is why I'm counting the days until I may return home.
- 20:38.028 --> 20:42.115 I had assumed you would remain in England now that your sister is to be viscountess.
- 20:42.199 --> 20:45.702 My mother and Edwina will remain here. I shall journey back alone.
- 20:46.495 --> 20:47.913 An adventure, indeed.
- 20:48.413 --> 20:50.332 You have plans for your arrival?
- 20:51.083 --> 20:54.586 I shall teach. Become a governess, as you call it here.
- 21:00.592 --> 21:02.010 It will be most fulfilling.
- 21:02.844 --> 21:05.806 Enjoying an independent life, running my own household.
- 21:05.889 --> 21:08.475 And perhaps playing host to old friends?
- 21:08.558 --> 21:11.019 I've long thought to return to India myself
- 21:11.103 --> 21:15.023 since there is much to be learned from their medical practice.
- 21:15.983 --> 21:17.067 [chuckles softly]
- 21:17.651 --> 21:19.861 If your travels do lead you there,
- 21:19.945 --> 21:22.990 then I would be most happy to show you the places I know.
- 21:25.867 --> 21:28.412 I should be working at the club, Alice.
- 21:29.037 --> 21:30.872 Not taking a stroll.
- 21:30.956 --> 21:32.249 This<i> is</i> work.
- 21:32.833 --> 21:35.544 We need more gentlemen members, and here they are.
- 21:35.627 --> 21:37.045 Mr. Mondrich.
- 21:37.129 --> 21:39.047 Word of your prowess crossed the Atlantic.
- 21:39.131 --> 21:42.759 You got the better of McKellan in just two rounds, is that not so?
- 21:43.885 --> 21:45.220 That was a long time ago.
- 21:45.887 --> 21:48.890 I've been known to plant a few facers in the ring myself.
- 21:49.474 --> 21:52.811 Ah, but not up to your abilities, I'm sure. [chuckles]
- 21:54.062 --> 21:56.648 You must pay a visit to Will's club and talk more.
- 21:56.732 --> 22:00.027 You'll find it enlivening and has a warm welcome for all.
- 22:00.110 --> 22:03.488 That may be the most tempting invitation I've had in some time.
- 22:04.406 --> 22:06.199 Uh, Lord Featherington, a word?
- 22:07.159 --> 22:08.285 [Jack] Excuse me.
- 22:08.368 --> 22:11.204 Need I remind you that the answer to our family's predicament
- 22:11.288 --> 22:14.708 will not be found disporting yourself in places of public resort?
- 22:14.791 --> 22:17.753 Nor will it be solved by running up yet more bills at the modiste.
- 22:17.836 --> 22:19.671 I just saw the latest accounts.
- 22:19.755 --> 22:22.299 You are supposed to be finding a way out of this mess,
- 22:22.382 --> 22:24.259 not drowning us even deeper in debt.
- 22:24.343 --> 22:25.719 [quietly] Keep your voice down.
- 22:25.802 --> 22:27.304 Are you trying to ruin us all?
- 22:27.387 --> 22:30.640 Not when you are already making such fine work of it yourself.
- 22:30.724 --> 22:32.351 [laughter and chatter]
- 22:42.235 --> 22:44.321 I see you are smiling, Didi.
- 22:44.905 --> 22:47.199 See the amusements London has to offer.
- 22:47.282 --> 22:49.576 There's water, too, in India.
- 22:49.659 --> 22:53.080 My sister spares no opportunity to find reasons for me to stay.
- 22:53.163 --> 22:55.248 I may well join her in her endeavors.
- 22:55.332 --> 22:56.750 That knot will never hold.
- 22:56.833 --> 22:58.001 It is perfectly adequate.
- 22:58.085 --> 23:00.379 Then I must question your nautical skills, Dorset.
- 23:00.462 --> 23:01.463 Allow me.
- 23:02.506 --> 23:04.132 -[sighs] -[clattering]
- 23:07.260 --> 23:08.303 [Anthony] Pardon me.
- 23:09.054 --> 23:10.347 [dog barking]
- 23:14.267 --> 23:15.394 Miss Sharma.
- 23:15.977 --> 23:17.145 Lord Bridgerton.
- 23:27.739 --> 23:29.658 -[dog barks, yelps] -[both shouting]
- 23:31.076 --> 23:32.619 [people gasping]
- 23:33.578 --> 23:35.914 -[shouts] -[laughing]
- 23:37.958 --> 23:39.835 Oh my! Are you hurt?
- 23:39.918 --> 23:41.711 [laughs] Not at all!
- 23:41.795 --> 23:44.840 The water is a rather welcoming refreshment,
- 23:44.923 --> 23:46.299 is it not, Bridgerton?
- 23:46.383 --> 23:47.759 Whoo! [laughs]
- 23:48.760 --> 23:50.470 [sighs] Refreshing indeed.
- 23:54.349 --> 23:56.309 Come now. It is not proper to stare.
- 23:58.228 --> 23:59.062 [grunts softly]
- 24:21.626 --> 24:23.378 Penelope, what are you doing here?
- 24:23.462 --> 24:25.297 I thought we were to walk, as we usually do.
- 24:25.380 --> 24:26.882 My apologies. I had quite forgotten.
- 24:27.799 --> 24:31.178 Uh, well… you missed quite the scene at the lake yesterday.
- 24:31.261 --> 24:33.054 My brother's impromptu swim? I heard about it.
- 24:33.138 --> 24:34.306 [laughs] Where were you?
- 24:34.931 --> 24:39.686 Alas, I was forced to occupy my day with tedious wedding errands,
- 24:39.769 --> 24:42.022 which Mama has listed me for yet again.
- 24:42.105 --> 24:44.149 I'm sorry, but I cannot stroll with you today.
- 24:45.275 --> 24:47.444 -I shall see you tomorrow, then. -Of course.
- 24:56.369 --> 24:57.996 Pardon me. Miss?
- 25:01.958 --> 25:05.587 Miss Eloise seems to have misplaced her reticule when she was out yesterday.
- 25:05.670 --> 25:08.256 I'll be happy to retrieve it. Where exactly did she visit?
- 25:09.049 --> 25:10.759 You'll not find it again, miss.
- 25:10.842 --> 25:14.137 I warned her, the streets of Bloomsbury aren't fit for a lady.
- 25:27.359 --> 25:29.486 -What are you doing? -Ah, Lord Featherington.
- 25:30.111 --> 25:33.990 Mr. Brookes here is just taking a look at some jewelry for me.
- 25:34.074 --> 25:36.284 It is a fine piece, is it not?
- 25:37.160 --> 25:37.994 Indeed.
- 25:38.078 --> 25:39.955 Uh, this is not a good time.
- 25:40.038 --> 25:42.999 -He should return at another date. -Nonsense. He's here now.
- 25:43.083 --> 25:44.918 And it is no trouble, is it?
- 25:45.001 --> 25:45.835 No.
- 25:58.723 --> 26:00.559 I was only planning to have the jewels cleaned,
- 26:00.642 --> 26:03.645 but tell me, what might a necklace such as that fetch?
- 26:04.604 --> 26:07.941 If it is of great value, I shall have to take more care.
- 26:08.024 --> 26:13.280 Well, I would require my proper tools for a definitive valuation,
- 26:13.363 --> 26:16.449 but I'd say you should take very great care, indeed.
- 26:16.533 --> 26:19.369 It is rare to see stones this fine.
- 26:20.078 --> 26:22.789 Now, is that not something?
- 26:24.749 --> 26:27.961 Thank you for your expert services, Mr. Brookes.
- 26:28.044 --> 26:31.756 I shall be in communication with you should I require anything further.
- 26:31.840 --> 26:32.716 No cake, then?
- 26:32.799 --> 26:34.009 -Another time. -Mm-hmm.
- 26:37.637 --> 26:40.140 Need I remind you, those are as counterfeit as a two-pound note.
- 26:40.223 --> 26:41.725 Quality counterfeits.
- 26:41.808 --> 26:44.686 If they're good enough to fool that nibbling owl of a man,
- 26:44.769 --> 26:47.022 then we may well make it through the season yet.
- 26:48.857 --> 26:51.067 I do hope you know what you're playing at. [scoffs]
- 26:55.322 --> 26:58.408 Well, there is no need to dismiss any staff, after all, Mrs. Varley.
- 26:58.491 --> 27:01.703 Mm. Let us pray he's got a whole trunk of them, ma'am.
- 27:01.786 --> 27:04.289 One bauble does not a fortune make.
- 27:29.981 --> 27:32.108 I declare, that's rather good.
- 27:32.192 --> 27:35.153 I am skilled at more than simply standing naked,
- 27:35.236 --> 27:36.905 Mister…
- 27:36.988 --> 27:39.074 Bridgerton. I do not doubt it.
- 27:39.157 --> 27:41.076 Then perhaps inform the academy.
- 27:41.660 --> 27:43.828 Although two of the founding members are women,
- 27:43.912 --> 27:46.373 we are still not yet allowed to enter the classroom.
- 27:46.873 --> 27:49.042 At least, not while we are clothed.
- 27:49.125 --> 27:51.670 So you work as a model
- 27:51.753 --> 27:54.714 as a way of learning from the lectures?
- 27:55.382 --> 27:57.217 -Ingenious. -Care to take a turn?
- 27:57.926 --> 27:59.844 It is harder than it looks.
- 28:00.720 --> 28:02.722 [Benedict inhales] Mm.
- 28:04.474 --> 28:05.892 [inhales sharply] Like so?
- 28:05.975 --> 28:07.060 [chuckles]
- 28:33.712 --> 28:35.046 [Benedict sighs deeply]
- 28:35.588 --> 28:37.048 How long must I stay like this?
- 28:37.132 --> 28:38.591 That depends.
- 28:39.884 --> 28:43.263 What I really need is a study of the male form.
- 28:44.013 --> 28:45.014 The naked form.
- 28:47.350 --> 28:48.560 What say you?
- 29:05.660 --> 29:07.662 [water babbling]
- 29:10.415 --> 29:12.250 It is a lovely spot, is it not?
- 29:13.460 --> 29:14.919 It reminds me of the courtyard
- 29:15.003 --> 29:17.005 at the palace where we used to live.
- 29:18.631 --> 29:19.758 So calming.
- 29:22.051 --> 29:22.927 [exhales deeply]
- 29:23.011 --> 29:24.637 -Calming, yes. -[chuckles softly]
- 29:33.646 --> 29:36.024 Nobody would blame you if you were to take sick, Mama,
- 29:36.107 --> 29:39.527 and send apologies for missing the dinner tonight.
- 29:39.611 --> 29:41.696 Lady Danbury has made it quite clear
- 29:41.780 --> 29:44.282 that it is necessary for all of us to attend.
- 29:49.412 --> 29:51.247 When was the last time you saw them?
- 29:53.625 --> 29:57.253 The night your dear father asked for my hand in marriage, I believe.
- 29:57.337 --> 29:58.838 Lord Sheffield made it clear,
- 29:58.922 --> 30:01.800 in no uncertain terms, that he did not support the match.
- 30:01.883 --> 30:04.135 So I had a choice to make
- 30:04.844 --> 30:06.179 between my family
- 30:07.514 --> 30:08.348 and my heart.
- 30:08.431 --> 30:10.725 And did you ever regret that choice?
- 30:13.645 --> 30:14.604 [exhales]
- 30:15.230 --> 30:17.649 From the very first moment,
- 30:17.732 --> 30:19.984 your father and I were drawn together.
- 30:20.068 --> 30:22.403 It is a very powerful thing
- 30:22.487 --> 30:25.073 to meet someone and feel that you know them.
- 30:25.156 --> 30:27.325 In a way unlike any other.
- 30:28.326 --> 30:29.285 [chuckles softly]
- 30:32.622 --> 30:35.458 Still a rather high price to pay for love, I would think.
- 30:36.417 --> 30:37.794 Do not fret.
- 30:37.877 --> 30:41.381 Even my parents' presence cannot mar the happiness that is the occasion.
- 30:41.464 --> 30:43.883 I had always hoped that you and Edwina
- 30:43.967 --> 30:46.427 would be spared the choice between affluence and love,
- 30:46.511 --> 30:47.428 and now you shall.
- 30:47.512 --> 30:50.765 Edwina is to wed her heart's desire.
- 30:51.349 --> 30:54.227 And you have always wanted nothing more than your freedom.
- 30:55.645 --> 30:56.896 [chuckles softly]
- 30:59.983 --> 31:01.234 Of course, Mama.
- 31:02.026 --> 31:03.987 We shall all be perfectly happy.
- 31:10.451 --> 31:11.911 -[knocking] -[door opens]
- 31:15.915 --> 31:19.419 Lord and Lady Sheffield's return is certainly a surprise. [chuckles]
- 31:20.211 --> 31:24.841 But it shall be pleasant to see the family reconciled, will it not?
- 31:24.924 --> 31:27.760 I will be finished in a moment, Mother. We shall not be late.
- 31:35.268 --> 31:36.436 It is not that.
- 31:37.020 --> 31:39.814 [sighs] I have been watching you all week.
- 31:39.898 --> 31:42.317 I-- I told myself I would support your choice,
- 31:42.400 --> 31:44.736 but I must admit, I am finding it quite difficult
- 31:44.819 --> 31:46.279 to continue to stay silent.
- 31:46.362 --> 31:48.489 You have been anything but silent.
- 31:48.573 --> 31:50.783 This is your betrothal, Anthony.
- 31:51.326 --> 31:52.493 Your marriage.
- 31:53.202 --> 31:56.205 To the woman that shall replace me as head of this household, might I add.
- 31:56.289 --> 31:58.374 You question Miss Edwina's suitability for the role?
- 31:58.458 --> 32:01.252 I question the example you are setting your siblings,
- 32:01.753 --> 32:05.673 marrying a woman for whom you clearly hold no great tenderness or love.
- 32:09.844 --> 32:12.889 Why will you not accept that the love match between you and father
- 32:12.972 --> 32:14.682 was the exception, not the rule?
- 32:14.766 --> 32:18.603 Because I wish for you two to know the joy of an exceptional marriage.
- 32:19.145 --> 32:22.023 You should be excited to wed Miss Edwina,
- 32:22.106 --> 32:26.027 but for all I have seen, you act as if you are approaching the gallows instead.
- 32:26.903 --> 32:28.446 If this is not what you want,
- 32:29.781 --> 32:31.574 you must say something now, Anthony, before--
- 32:31.658 --> 32:33.284 What I want is beside the point.
- 32:35.828 --> 32:38.498 I could never dishonor Miss Edwina by begging off now.
- 32:39.374 --> 32:40.750 You are right.
- 32:40.833 --> 32:43.127 A gentleman cannot take back his word.
- 32:44.629 --> 32:45.630 But a woman may.
- 32:46.422 --> 32:48.508 It happens all the time with young ladies,
- 32:48.591 --> 32:50.802 swept up in the dizziness of receiving a proposal
- 32:50.885 --> 32:53.221 before the reality of marriage becomes clear.
- 32:53.972 --> 32:56.265 If Miss Edwina were to call off the engagement,
- 32:56.349 --> 32:58.184 no one would find fault with her.
- 32:58.267 --> 33:01.020 And you would not be dishonoring her in the slightest,
- 33:01.104 --> 33:04.649 releasing her from the obligation before any vows were exchanged.
- 33:08.528 --> 33:10.947 She does not wish to end the engagement.
- 33:11.030 --> 33:14.033 But does she know your true feelings on the matter?
- 33:15.284 --> 33:16.661 My feelings are of no concern.
- 33:16.744 --> 33:19.914 What matters is my responsibility, which has always been to wed.
- 33:22.000 --> 33:23.251 [softly] My darling…
- 33:26.838 --> 33:30.591 If you have doubts, do not simply set them aside.
- 33:30.675 --> 33:34.137 This is the most important choice you will ever make.
- 33:35.054 --> 33:36.806 And it would break my heart
- 33:36.889 --> 33:40.018 to see you spend the rest of your life in regret.
- 33:43.062 --> 33:45.648 I dare say it would break your father's heart too.
- 34:01.622 --> 34:03.166 You seem distracted, Didi.
- 34:03.249 --> 34:04.167 [Kate sighs] Oh.
- 34:04.250 --> 34:06.002 It's, uh, just a headache.
- 34:06.627 --> 34:09.505 From, uh… From all the excitement these days.
- 34:13.134 --> 34:17.346 Is that all that ails you? I have seen how ill at ease you are with the viscount.
- 34:17.889 --> 34:21.893 I was hoping we had put all that behind us now that Anthony is to be my husband.
- 34:22.643 --> 34:24.687 He's asked you to call him by his given name?
- 34:24.771 --> 34:26.773 No, not yet.
- 34:26.856 --> 34:28.900 But it sounds fine, does it not?
- 34:29.400 --> 34:32.653 [sighs] Do you think the Sheffields will like this dress?
- 34:32.737 --> 34:36.741 [giggles] My stomach is in a knot, I am so excited to meet them.
- 34:36.824 --> 34:38.117 Before you do,
- 34:39.035 --> 34:40.745 there is something I must tell you
- 34:41.537 --> 34:44.082 about your grandparents, and how they have, in fact,
- 34:44.707 --> 34:45.708 influenced our trip--
- 34:45.792 --> 34:48.461 Our guests have arrived.
- 34:49.170 --> 34:50.379 [giggles nervously]
- 34:50.463 --> 34:51.714 [Lady Danbury chuckles]
- 34:55.093 --> 34:57.261 You may spare me the instruction, Lady Danbury.
- 34:57.345 --> 34:59.472 I know I am to be on my best behavior.
- 35:00.389 --> 35:03.434 You think me an unfeeling harridan,
- 35:04.268 --> 35:06.771 but perhaps it would surprise you to learn
- 35:06.854 --> 35:08.731 that I am hosting this dinner
- 35:08.815 --> 35:10.483 for your sake.
- 35:11.067 --> 35:13.152 Your sister's betrothal may be the end
- 35:13.236 --> 35:16.447 of certain hopes you harbored regarding the viscount,
- 35:16.531 --> 35:19.867 but access to the Sheffield fortune
- 35:19.951 --> 35:23.246 would certainly be a fine reward, would it not?
- 35:23.996 --> 35:27.917 A life of independence
- 35:28.000 --> 35:30.128 is no mere consolation.
- 35:30.211 --> 35:32.839 Indeed, many would think it the better prize.
- 35:32.922 --> 35:37.093 After passion cools and fate intervenes,
- 35:37.885 --> 35:40.179 who else is a woman left with
- 35:41.013 --> 35:42.098 but herself?
- 35:45.434 --> 35:46.477 Hmm.
- 35:47.103 --> 35:48.354 Come along.
- 35:48.437 --> 35:50.606 Our guests are waiting.
- 35:51.357 --> 35:52.275 [Kate] Hmm.
- 35:59.699 --> 36:00.700 [Lady Danbury] Hmm.
- 36:02.243 --> 36:06.289 Ah, Lord and Lady Sheffield, it has been too long.
- 36:06.372 --> 36:10.126 May I present Miss Sharma and Miss Edwina Sharma.
- 36:10.209 --> 36:12.962 Oh, my dear, look at you.
- 36:13.045 --> 36:16.299 Isn't she quite as lovely as the report said?
- 36:16.382 --> 36:17.466 [Edwina] You are too kind.
- 36:18.509 --> 36:20.928 I'm most happy to make your acquaintance.
- 36:21.012 --> 36:24.849 We have been waiting so many years to meet you.
- 36:24.932 --> 36:27.518 I wish to know everything about you.
- 36:27.602 --> 36:29.770 Do you enjoy dancing? Music?
- 36:29.854 --> 36:31.480 You must accompany us to the opera.
- 36:31.564 --> 36:34.942 We have a fine box which has been gathering dust.
- 36:35.026 --> 36:37.778 Indeed, it has been too long since we've seen you both in town,
- 36:37.862 --> 36:38.905 Lord and Lady Sheffield.
- 36:38.988 --> 36:41.199 -Yes. -[Lady Sheffield] Yes, indeed, it has.
- 36:42.325 --> 36:43.576 Mother.
- 36:44.160 --> 36:45.244 -Father. -Mm.
- 36:46.287 --> 36:47.705 I do enjoy the opera.
- 36:47.788 --> 36:50.374 My sister Kate is the one who introduced me to it.
- 36:53.252 --> 36:55.463 Ah. Shall we go through to dinner?
- 36:55.546 --> 36:57.381 Oh, yes. Come with me, child.
- 36:57.465 --> 36:58.299 [Edwina giggles]
- 37:04.472 --> 37:06.265 -[laughter] -[silverware clinking]
- 37:06.349 --> 37:09.477 And, of course, you must be our guests at the Sheffield manor.
- 37:09.560 --> 37:11.979 It is nothing compared to the estates at Aubrey Hall,
- 37:12.063 --> 37:15.733 to be sure, but I think it a most pretty part of Hertfordshire.
- 37:15.816 --> 37:19.946 Do you shoot? We have a fine stock of birds, and you are always welcome.
- 37:20.029 --> 37:22.323 [Anthony] Thank you for the invitation. I do enjoy shooting.
- 37:22.406 --> 37:23.532 [Lord Sheffield] Well…
- 37:23.616 --> 37:24.659 As does Kate.
- 37:24.742 --> 37:27.745 The two of them almost bagged a stag on our trip to the country.
- 37:27.828 --> 37:30.373 [chuckling] How… unusual.
- 37:30.456 --> 37:33.334 Do they teach young ladies to shoot in India?
- 37:33.417 --> 37:35.127 Only the fortunate ones.
- 37:36.337 --> 37:37.546 [exhales]
- 37:38.756 --> 37:40.591 Uh, Lord and Lady Sheffield,
- 37:40.675 --> 37:42.843 how long do you plan to remain in town?
- 37:42.927 --> 37:44.762 Oh, we shall stay for the wedding.
- 37:44.845 --> 37:47.390 Imagine. The queen herself
- 37:47.473 --> 37:50.017 overseeing my granddaughter's nuptials.
- 37:50.101 --> 37:54.397 Her Majesty is kind to be so forgiving after everything that has happened.
- 37:54.981 --> 37:57.149 [Lord Sheffield] Now, now. We are all family here.
- 37:57.233 --> 37:58.567 Oh, yes, of course we are.
- 37:59.360 --> 38:01.612 Even after our daughter so callously rejected
- 38:01.696 --> 38:03.322 the match we had found for her.
- 38:03.406 --> 38:07.410 -[Lord Sheffield] My dear, we agreed-- -An earl, no less, with 12,000 acres.
- 38:07.493 --> 38:09.370 Any other young lady
- 38:09.453 --> 38:13.666 would've fallen to her knees in gratitude that her parents were showing such care.
- 38:13.749 --> 38:17.169 This sauce is delicious, Lady Danbury. Have your cook give mine the recipe.
- 38:17.253 --> 38:19.088 It is the gooseberry, I believe.
- 38:19.171 --> 38:23.134 Lady Sheffield, you've got quite the sweet tooth, I do recall?
- 38:23.718 --> 38:26.304 And all for what? A mere clerk, was he?
- 38:26.387 --> 38:29.765 And with a child from a previous marriage to God-knows-who.
- 38:29.849 --> 38:31.017 My mother has a name.
- 38:31.100 --> 38:32.310 Lady Sheffield, I must ask--
- 38:32.393 --> 38:36.772 We could not show our faces in society for years.
- 38:37.356 --> 38:38.607 Not that she should care.
- 38:38.691 --> 38:42.236 She simply sailed away from all of us with that man,
- 38:42.320 --> 38:43.696 robbing us of our grandchild.
- 38:43.779 --> 38:44.864 Grandchildren.
- 38:46.615 --> 38:47.658 I have two daughters
- 38:47.742 --> 38:51.245 with whom you have had every opportunity to form a connection.
- 38:51.329 --> 38:53.289 But the choice to shun us was yours alone.
- 38:53.372 --> 38:54.248 I beg your pardon--
- 38:54.332 --> 38:56.292 And do not think I took it lightly,
- 38:56.375 --> 38:58.794 being cast out by the only family I had ever known.
- 38:58.878 --> 39:02.340 I was heartbroken, indeed. But in time, I came to see
- 39:02.423 --> 39:05.134 that, in your cruelty, you did us all a great service.
- 39:05.217 --> 39:07.762 I hardly think this a proper dinner conversation.
- 39:07.845 --> 39:09.430 I quite agree. Please, collect--
- 39:09.513 --> 39:12.016 When you cast me out, what you did was set me free.
- 39:12.725 --> 39:16.520 Free to raise my daughters far from your constant judgment
- 39:16.604 --> 39:19.482 and craven demands that they should chase wealth
- 39:19.565 --> 39:21.776 and titles above all else!
- 39:21.859 --> 39:24.403 [scoffs] You are a fine one to talk.
- 39:24.487 --> 39:27.740 You speak of scorning riches, and yet you have come crawling back
- 39:27.823 --> 39:29.283 to snatch at our fortune.
- 39:29.367 --> 39:31.994 -Lady Danbury is right-- -Believe me, I want nothing from you.
- 39:32.078 --> 39:34.372 Oh, you may not, but your daughter certainly does.
- 39:36.749 --> 39:37.583 Mama?
- 39:37.666 --> 39:42.129 The trust fund we have set up for her. The condition of which clearly states
- 39:42.213 --> 39:46.926 that she must marry a man of good English breeding to inherit.
- 39:47.802 --> 39:51.389 You did not think we would allow another generation to pollute
- 39:51.472 --> 39:52.890 the Sheffield name, did you?
- 39:52.973 --> 39:55.434 Didi, what are they talking about?
- 39:55.518 --> 39:58.020 -What have you done? -Anthony, did you know about this?
- 39:58.104 --> 40:00.022 I shall explain everything.
- 40:00.106 --> 40:03.567 I see this one has inherited your penchant for avoiding the truth.
- 40:03.651 --> 40:05.569 Or that's something she inherited from her father.
- 40:05.653 --> 40:06.779 [Anthony] That is enough.
- 40:08.781 --> 40:10.825 I can only think you've been exiled from good society
- 40:10.908 --> 40:13.202 because of your deficient manners rather than any other sin.
- 40:13.285 --> 40:16.038 Since the moment you arrived, you have failed to show the proper respect
- 40:16.122 --> 40:18.082 for the Sharma family, and I will not stand for it.
- 40:18.165 --> 40:20.584 -I declare-- -I will not… stand for it.
- 40:21.585 --> 40:24.004 Lady Mary has done admirably in raising her daughters.
- 40:24.088 --> 40:28.300 They are intelligent, kind, loyal women.
- 40:28.884 --> 40:30.511 And a credit to <i>both</i> their parents.
- 40:31.637 --> 40:35.808 And since you clearly do not wish to jeopardize your social standing
- 40:35.891 --> 40:38.727 by associating with such company, I suggest you do not.
- 40:38.811 --> 40:39.937 You may leave at once!
- 40:40.020 --> 40:41.689 You cannot be serious!
- 40:41.772 --> 40:43.816 Please send for Lord and Lady Sheffield's carriage.
- 40:43.899 --> 40:45.109 They can wait outside.
- 40:45.943 --> 40:48.446 And do not trouble yourselves for an invitation for the wedding,
- 40:48.529 --> 40:50.448 for you shall not receive one.
- 40:51.282 --> 40:53.284 This is beyond the pale.
- 40:54.785 --> 40:58.664 And if you think you shall inherit a single sovereign now,
- 40:58.747 --> 41:00.458 you are sorely mistaken.
- 41:17.808 --> 41:19.560 Lord Bridgerton, Lady Bridgerton.
- 41:19.643 --> 41:21.395 -I must apologize-- -We should take our leave.
- 41:21.479 --> 41:22.438 [Violet] Yes.
- 41:23.063 --> 41:25.608 Thank you for the evening, Lady Danbury.
- 41:25.691 --> 41:27.485 It was quite enlightening.
- 41:27.568 --> 41:28.569 [grunts] My lord--
- 41:28.652 --> 41:30.029 Good evening.
- 41:31.530 --> 41:33.282 -You lied to me. -Please, Bon.
- 41:45.753 --> 41:46.879 Lord Bridgerton!
- 41:48.255 --> 41:50.591 Lord Bridgerton, I beg a word!
- 41:51.717 --> 41:53.260 -We must be going. -Please.
- 41:53.344 --> 41:55.262 [breathing heavily]
- 41:56.180 --> 41:57.932 Mother, I shall meet you at the house.
- 42:08.192 --> 42:11.278 You must know. Edwina is innocent in all of this. She had no idea.
- 42:11.362 --> 42:14.156 Coming to England, finding her a match. I only wished the best for her.
- 42:14.240 --> 42:16.700 -You cannot be angry at her. -I am not.
- 42:16.784 --> 42:19.662 It is clear she was as much in the dark as I was about your schemes.
- 42:19.745 --> 42:21.872 -They were not schemes. -I take it there'll be no dowry.
- 42:21.956 --> 42:23.999 Now that the Sheffields have withdrawn their support.
- 42:24.083 --> 42:25.251 You care about a dowry?
- 42:25.334 --> 42:28.671 It is because of what you just did that the Sheffields withdrew it.
- 42:29.755 --> 42:31.131 It is regrettable, to be sure.
- 42:31.215 --> 42:33.801 But clearly, both Miss Edwina and I have been misled,
- 42:33.884 --> 42:35.970 and it is best to call off this doomed engagement
- 42:36.053 --> 42:37.972 before it is the cause of any more strife.
- 42:38.556 --> 42:40.432 Of course, I'd never besmirch her reputation.
- 42:40.516 --> 42:42.518 My mother and Lady Danbury will make a plan--
- 42:42.601 --> 42:45.646 There shall be no plan. I do not understand.
- 42:45.729 --> 42:47.940 Why are you suggesting this?
- 42:48.023 --> 42:50.526 All along, you have been set on marrying my sister,
- 42:50.609 --> 42:52.861 despite my every objection, might I add,
- 42:52.945 --> 42:55.030 and now you intend to cast her aside.
- 42:55.698 --> 42:56.657 Why?
- 42:56.740 --> 42:59.410 And do not talk to me of dowries, sir,
- 42:59.493 --> 43:01.579 for we both know you have no need of it.
- 43:01.662 --> 43:03.247 So, tell me, what has <i>she</i> done?
- 43:03.330 --> 43:06.709 She has done nothing. It is you. You have made this match impossible.
- 43:06.792 --> 43:09.628 -But I am leaving for India. -And it is not far enough!
- 43:12.131 --> 43:14.717 Do you think that there is a corner of this Earth
- 43:14.800 --> 43:17.011 that you could travel to far away enough
- 43:17.094 --> 43:18.596 to free me from this torment?
- 43:19.388 --> 43:20.723 I am a gentleman.
- 43:21.724 --> 43:25.102 My father raised me to act with honor, but that honor is hanging by a thread
- 43:25.185 --> 43:27.021 that grows more precarious with every moment
- 43:27.104 --> 43:28.731 I spend in your presence.
- 43:30.649 --> 43:32.860 You are the bane of my existence.
- 43:38.407 --> 43:40.868 And the object of all my desires.
- 43:42.828 --> 43:45.831 [quietly] Night and day, I dream of you.
- 43:46.874 --> 43:48.459 And what I… [exhales]
- 43:50.336 --> 43:53.672 Do you even know all the ways a lady can be seduced?
- 43:55.966 --> 43:57.843 The things I could teach you.
- 43:57.926 --> 43:59.845 [both breathing heavily]
- 44:00.346 --> 44:03.932 [quietly] I did not ask for this.
- 44:05.017 --> 44:07.728 [sighs] To be plagued by these feelings.
- 44:09.188 --> 44:11.023 Hiding from my sister.
- 44:12.441 --> 44:15.653 Being driven to distraction every time you enter the room.
- 44:15.736 --> 44:17.279 Then you agree.
- 44:18.697 --> 44:20.240 It is insupportable.
- 44:21.450 --> 44:22.743 Impossible.
- 44:22.826 --> 44:25.245 [heartbeats thumping]
- 44:29.416 --> 44:30.668 [Kate exhales]
- 44:37.466 --> 44:41.637 If I wed your sister, it will bind me and you together for eternity,
- 44:41.720 --> 44:44.848 and I will spend every day of my marriage
- 44:45.474 --> 44:47.267 wanting you,
- 44:47.351 --> 44:49.061 dreaming of you,
- 44:49.937 --> 44:52.981 dreading the day when my last thread of honor finally snaps.
- 44:54.358 --> 44:57.027 Is that the future that you want for us?
- 44:57.111 --> 44:58.278 For your sister?
- 44:58.946 --> 44:59.863 [exhales]
- 45:01.156 --> 45:02.658 [distant chatter]
- 45:04.952 --> 45:05.994 I must go.
- 45:20.342 --> 45:21.510 [exhales sharply]
- 45:29.309 --> 45:31.562 [sighs] Must we sit around like statues?
- 45:31.645 --> 45:35.733 I wish to be at a ball, showing off my new fiancé.
- 45:36.775 --> 45:37.693 Varley?
- 45:39.027 --> 45:40.654 Are you certain we've not received
- 45:40.738 --> 45:43.824 any invitations you may have overlooked for the evening?
- 45:43.907 --> 45:46.326 No, ma'am. There's been nothing.
- 45:46.410 --> 45:49.872 Perhaps the circumstances of Prudence's engagement has us on the outs yet again.
- 45:49.955 --> 45:51.206 So this is my fault?
- 45:51.290 --> 45:52.458 I did not say that.
- 45:52.541 --> 45:55.794 It's not as if you arranged to meet Cousin Jack in that orangery, did you?
- 45:55.878 --> 45:59.590 We should merely be happy we still have a cook and a lady's maid each, yes, Mama?
- 46:10.434 --> 46:13.520 Not a single invitation since arriving back from the country.
- 46:13.604 --> 46:15.439 I shall alert the postal clerk.
- 46:16.023 --> 46:17.065 This is no joke.
- 46:17.149 --> 46:20.444 We are meant to be a distinguished family.
- 46:20.527 --> 46:24.198 But for years, I have suffered the indignities of the ton's disdain,
- 46:24.281 --> 46:25.657 for one reason or another.
- 46:25.741 --> 46:28.076 They liked us well enough when they thought you a plum catch,
- 46:28.160 --> 46:31.079 but now that you are spoken for, ah, we are outcasts again.
- 46:31.163 --> 46:33.832 All the more reason to end this sham of an engagement.
- 46:33.916 --> 46:35.667 It is not an option.
- 46:40.088 --> 46:41.048 Lord Cowper.
- 46:41.965 --> 46:43.509 What business did he have with you?
- 46:43.592 --> 46:46.136 He wishes to invest in the mines. Several of them do.
- 46:46.220 --> 46:48.514 Bored gentlemen with too much time and money on their hands.
- 46:48.597 --> 46:50.516 -Take it. -The mines are worthless.
- 46:50.599 --> 46:52.059 There are no rubies to be found.
- 46:52.142 --> 46:54.853 How are they to know the difference? Board a ship to the Americas?
- 46:54.937 --> 46:56.480 [chuckles, inhales]
- 46:58.649 --> 46:59.817 You are serious.
- 46:59.900 --> 47:03.320 The future of this family hangs in the balance, my lord.
- 47:03.403 --> 47:05.781 I've never been more serious in my life.
- 47:05.864 --> 47:09.701 Get them to invest. Take every pound that they offer.
- 47:09.785 --> 47:11.995 Our fortunes will be restored.
- 47:12.079 --> 47:13.956 Prudence shall have a fine wedding,
- 47:14.039 --> 47:17.251 and I shall never have to suffer the disdain of the ton again.
- 47:33.851 --> 47:35.394 -[knocking] -Edwina?
- 47:49.491 --> 47:51.660 Ever since the viscount has been courting me,
- 47:51.743 --> 47:53.954 I have sensed you were not being entirely truthful.
- 47:55.038 --> 47:56.623 And now I know I was right.
- 48:04.673 --> 48:07.676 This business with the Sheffields and their fortune,
- 48:07.759 --> 48:11.096 you did not trust me enough to tell me what was really going on.
- 48:11.179 --> 48:14.850 I am truly sorry, Bon, for keeping both you and Mama in the dark.
- 48:14.933 --> 48:16.226 After Appa died,
- 48:16.310 --> 48:19.438 I took it upon myself to manage our affairs.
- 48:19.521 --> 48:23.650 I wrote to the Sheffields, and after learning of their stipulations,
- 48:23.734 --> 48:26.945 I saw an answer to all our troubles.
- 48:27.487 --> 48:29.406 I thought I was doing the right thing
- 48:29.489 --> 48:31.533 by keeping you free from this burden.
- 48:31.617 --> 48:32.910 But you must know,
- 48:34.036 --> 48:36.204 it has weighed on me every day.
- 48:38.332 --> 48:41.710 I am not a little girl anymore, Kate.
- 48:42.502 --> 48:45.547 I am a grown woman now, ready to be a wife.
- 48:47.507 --> 48:48.467 Yes.
- 48:49.593 --> 48:50.886 Yes, I know.
- 48:52.054 --> 48:53.138 [sighs softly]
- 48:56.516 --> 49:00.437 If Lord Bridgerton does not wish to end our engagement…
- 49:01.980 --> 49:04.816 then the Sheffield fortune would not matter, would it?
- 49:04.900 --> 49:06.985 Once I am married to the viscount,
- 49:07.069 --> 49:09.488 there will be ample funds to provide for all of us.
- 49:09.571 --> 49:11.657 He is as generous as he is wealthy.
- 49:12.282 --> 49:16.119 I am sure the viscount will provide for you and Mama too.
- 49:17.621 --> 49:18.497 He…
- 49:20.123 --> 49:21.083 He might.
- 49:21.833 --> 49:25.253 But-- But, Edwina, this should not be your burden.
- 49:25.337 --> 49:29.341 What burden would it be to marry the person I love?
- 49:30.926 --> 49:32.010 You love him?
- 49:32.719 --> 49:37.224 Watching how nobly he defended us at dinner tonight, how could I not?
- 49:39.142 --> 49:43.313 I want nothing more than to be his wife.
- 49:44.272 --> 49:45.899 His viscountess.
- 49:47.776 --> 49:49.486 But he will have to forgive us.
- 49:51.113 --> 49:52.572 Do you think he will?
- 49:53.949 --> 49:55.409 That I do not know.
- 50:14.344 --> 50:15.554 I shall not be long.
- 50:22.227 --> 50:24.563 Do not tell me you've traveled at this ungodly hour
- 50:24.646 --> 50:26.314 to offer more corrections of my writing?
- 50:26.398 --> 50:28.900 It was the only time I could leave without being seen.
- 50:28.984 --> 50:30.235 And, on the contrary,
- 50:30.318 --> 50:32.571 I've come to ask for your discernment.
- 50:32.654 --> 50:33.822 Is that so?
- 50:33.905 --> 50:35.282 Do not look so pleased.
- 50:35.365 --> 50:38.201 It is a rare occurrence that I doubt shall be repeated.
- 50:39.411 --> 50:42.414 [sighs] I have questions about the writings in this pamphlet.
- 50:42.497 --> 50:45.375 Well, the ideas can tax a fragile mind.
- 50:45.459 --> 50:48.879 Or perhaps your means of communicating them leaves much to be desired.
- 50:48.962 --> 50:52.257 Or perhaps you have not seen enough of the world to make sense of them yet.
- 50:52.340 --> 50:53.800 [Eloise chuckling] Ah.
- 50:56.553 --> 50:57.804 [Lady Whistledown] <i>Duty.</i>
- 50:57.888 --> 51:01.308 <i>More than laws or faith,</i> <i>I have often thought it the bond</i>
- 51:01.391 --> 51:04.144 <i>that holds our fragile society together.</i>
- 51:14.988 --> 51:17.657 <i>Duty to rank and title.</i>
- 51:17.741 --> 51:20.494 <i>Fidelity to one's family name.</i>
- 51:20.577 --> 51:23.538 <i>It demands both utter obedience</i>
- 51:23.622 --> 51:26.124 <i>and total sacrifice.</i>
- 51:29.503 --> 51:31.088 <i>But what happens</i>
- 51:31.171 --> 51:32.839 <i>when such duty</i>
- 51:32.923 --> 51:35.884 <i>is in conflict</i> <i>with the heart's true desire?</i>
- 51:37.427 --> 51:39.638 <i>Why, then, there is the potential</i>
- 51:39.721 --> 51:42.390 <i>for a considerable scandal, indeed.</i>
- 51:44.434 --> 51:46.394 <i>The only question is,</i>
- 51:46.478 --> 51:50.315 <i>will the parties in question</i> <i>heed my warning?</i>
- 51:50.899 --> 51:52.776 <i>Or is it already too late</i>
- 51:52.859 --> 51:54.945 <i>to turn back to duty</i>
- 51:55.028 --> 51:57.531 <i>and away from desire?</i>
- 51:57.614 --> 52:00.826 [classical rendition of "You Oughta Know" plays]
- 52:00.909 --> 52:03.245 [breathing deeply]
- 52:13.880 --> 52:15.048 [horse snorts]
- 52:15.132 --> 52:15.966 Miss Sharma.
- 52:16.049 --> 52:18.426 I see you continue here with your morning rides.
- 52:19.678 --> 52:21.346 As do you, it seems.
- 52:25.058 --> 52:26.059 I couldn't sleep.
- 52:26.143 --> 52:27.394 [quietly] Nor could I.
- 52:29.146 --> 52:30.689 Have you decided what you will do?
- 52:36.278 --> 52:38.864 Long have I wrestled with it, but I see no other option.
- 52:41.199 --> 52:44.119 I will talk with Miss Edwina today…
- 52:45.996 --> 52:47.497 and see my way to ending things.
- 52:47.581 --> 52:48.957 It is the only way to ensure
- 52:49.040 --> 52:51.459 that the two of us can be rid of this impossible situation.
- 52:52.043 --> 52:55.505 Once the engagement is over, our paths need never cross again.
- 52:58.466 --> 53:00.468 It will be as if we had never met.
- 53:03.597 --> 53:05.599 You cannot. You cannot do that.
- 53:05.682 --> 53:08.226 -Miss Sharma-- -You cannot break my sister's heart.
- 53:08.310 --> 53:11.855 She is all things good and true. A kinder soul you will never find.
- 53:11.938 --> 53:14.316 She has loved me as well as any sister could,
- 53:14.399 --> 53:16.276 and I could not live with myself
- 53:16.359 --> 53:18.778 if I robbed her of her happiness and the future she deserves.
- 53:19.362 --> 53:20.906 I-- I do not understand.
- 53:20.989 --> 53:23.366 You have been against this union from the start.
- 53:23.450 --> 53:27.537 I was wrong! I will not be the cause of you losing your honor
- 53:27.621 --> 53:29.915 any more than I can stand to see Edwina in pain.
- 53:30.498 --> 53:32.083 You once saw her as your perfect match.
- 53:32.167 --> 53:34.002 You will find your way to believing it again.
- 53:35.170 --> 53:36.046 Please.
- 53:36.546 --> 53:38.340 Please, Lord Bridgerton.
- 53:39.090 --> 53:39.925 Anthony.
- 53:40.508 --> 53:42.928 You must keep your word. You must marry my sister.
- 53:43.011 --> 53:44.888 You must marry her as soon as you can,
- 53:44.971 --> 53:47.807 because this feeling that plagues us so, it will pass.
- 53:47.891 --> 53:50.185 It will become tenable, it will become bearable,
- 53:50.268 --> 53:53.021 and soon enough, it will be as if we never felt it at all.
- 53:53.104 --> 53:55.941 Mere passion. It must because it has to.
- 53:56.024 --> 53:58.610 [classical rendition of "You Oughta Know" continues]
- 53:58.693 --> 53:59.527 [sighs]
- 54:09.537 --> 54:10.372 Very well.
- 54:17.003 --> 54:19.506 I shall see that the wedding shall take place as soon as possible.
- 54:42.862 --> 54:44.864 [sighs deeply]
- 54:47.117 --> 54:48.368 [sniffles]
- 54:48.451 --> 54:49.494 [exhales sharply]
- 54:49.577 --> 54:51.329 [breathes deeply]
- 00:51.051 --> 00:51.885 Miss Sharma.
- 00:56.931 --> 00:58.641 Viscount Bridgerton.
- 00:58.725 --> 01:00.685 We thought perhaps you'd not be joining us.
- 01:00.769 --> 01:02.020 Your Majesty.
- 01:02.103 --> 01:04.355 Nothing could keep me from my beautiful bride.
- 01:11.821 --> 01:12.864 Now,
- 01:12.947 --> 01:14.616 tell me of your wedding plan.
- 01:14.699 --> 01:18.078 There is no talk of a special license, I would hope.
- 01:18.161 --> 01:20.246 -Of course not, Your Majesty.
- 01:20.830 --> 01:23.666 I believe a modest family affair would be most fitting.
- 01:24.250 --> 01:26.544 Perhaps back in the country, at Aubrey Hall.
- 01:26.628 --> 01:28.046 In the country?
- 01:29.881 --> 01:31.341 No, that will not do.
- 01:31.424 --> 01:33.843 You must have it here in town.
- 01:33.927 --> 01:37.472 In fact, I shall host the nuptials myself.
- 01:38.056 --> 01:40.308 -Oh.
- 01:40.391 --> 01:42.602 -That is most generous, Ma'am. -Most generous.
- 01:42.685 --> 01:45.188 -But not at all necessary. -Nonsense.
- 01:45.271 --> 01:47.107 She is my diamond, after all.
- 01:47.190 --> 01:51.861 It is only right that I give you both a wedding worthy of that title.
- 01:51.945 --> 01:55.115 Besides, one could almost credit me myself
- 01:55.198 --> 01:58.159 with bringing about this most illustrious match.
- 01:59.619 --> 02:01.955 I shall oversee every detail.
- 02:02.038 --> 02:04.833 Let that gossipmonger try to get the better of me now.
- 02:11.589 --> 02:15.552 Can you believe it, Didi? It is like a fairytale come true.
- 02:15.635 --> 02:17.512 You deserve nothing less, Bon.
- 02:18.096 --> 02:20.890 Nothing less for a true love match.
- 02:22.892 --> 02:24.853 My apologies, Your Majesty.
- 02:35.196 --> 02:37.490 <i>The frenzy of competition.</i>
- 02:37.574 --> 02:41.035 <i>The thrilling delight</i> <i>of hazarding your all.</i>
- 02:41.119 --> 02:45.915 <i>I am referring not to the lure</i> <i>of London's luxurious gaming halls</i>
- 02:45.999 --> 02:49.127 <i>but to a gamble with far higher stakes.</i>
- 02:49.711 --> 02:50.920 <i>Matrimony.</i>
- 02:51.921 --> 02:55.091 <i>For once that particular wager is placed,</i>
- 02:55.175 --> 02:57.844 <i>it cannot easily be undone.</i>
- 02:58.428 --> 03:00.430 <i>A fact which, I am sure,</i>
- 03:00.513 --> 03:02.974 <i>is met with both regret</i>
- 03:03.057 --> 03:05.101 <i>and sheer relief.</i>
- 03:05.185 --> 03:07.145 …and I shall sing between each one.
- 03:07.228 --> 03:08.646 For goodness' sake.
- 03:08.730 --> 03:11.983 Anyone would think our siblings had beaten Napoleon himself on the battlefield
- 03:12.066 --> 03:14.986 instead of finding someone with whom to dutifully march down an aisle.
- 03:15.069 --> 03:17.697 Indeed. With all the hubbub about Prudence's engagement,
- 03:17.780 --> 03:19.699 my mama has rather forgotten I exist.
- 03:19.782 --> 03:22.744 She is quite happy Cousin Jack has ensured our family's future.
- 03:23.369 --> 03:25.121 I must admit, so am I.
- 03:26.206 --> 03:29.167 Mm. Don't touch. You can look at it.
- 03:32.587 --> 03:34.797 And the baker is still awaiting payment.
- 03:34.881 --> 03:36.841 As is, apparently, the coalman.
- 03:37.550 --> 03:40.845 The new Lord Featherington was supposed to restore our fortunes, and yet
- 03:40.929 --> 03:45.391 here I am, unable to scratch together sixpence yet again.
- 03:45.475 --> 03:48.686 Our financial predicament is entirely your doing, Lady Featherington.
- 03:48.770 --> 03:51.731 If you hadn't forced me into this ill-starred engagement,
- 03:51.814 --> 03:54.651 we'd soon be living comfortably on Miss Cowper's ample dowry.
- 03:54.734 --> 03:57.237 Oh, go on. Blame me for taking you at your word
- 03:57.320 --> 04:00.323 when you spoke of your great fortune in rubies.
- 04:00.406 --> 04:02.575 Had you thought to confide your plans,
- 04:02.659 --> 04:06.621 then I would not be considering dismissing the servants that I have just rehired.
- 04:06.704 --> 04:09.582 All of that would be solved if you would simply call off the wedding
- 04:09.666 --> 04:11.793 and allow me to set my cap at Miss Cowper again.
- 04:11.876 --> 04:13.336 And leave my poor Prudence jilted?
- 04:13.419 --> 04:15.964 When her reputation's already been called into question?
- 04:16.047 --> 04:18.007 No, it is far too late for that, my lord.
- 04:18.091 --> 04:20.385 No, you must continue in this engagement.
- 04:20.468 --> 04:22.971 I will think of something.
- 04:23.054 --> 04:24.847 Well, you'd better think fast.
- 04:50.873 --> 04:52.500 You must be one of our new fellows.
- 04:53.167 --> 04:54.585 Is it really so evident?
- 04:54.669 --> 04:56.629 Conserve that youthful vigor.
- 04:56.713 --> 04:59.382 Soon you shall be just as jaded as the rest of us.
- 04:59.465 --> 05:02.552 After all, one form is much like another,
- 05:03.136 --> 05:04.178 do you not think?
- 05:20.320 --> 05:23.573 It is not yet right. See how the cuffs are an inch too short?
- 05:23.656 --> 05:24.699 Very well, sir.
- 05:25.199 --> 05:26.159 Hmm.
- 05:26.868 --> 05:29.245 There is plenty of time to adjust it to your liking.
- 05:29.329 --> 05:31.039 The wedding is not for another month.
- 05:31.122 --> 05:33.750 -There is still much to do. -Will Miss Edwina live with us?
- 05:33.833 --> 05:34.959 Indeed. After the wedding,
- 05:35.043 --> 05:37.628 she'll be the lady of the house and responsible for you all.
- 05:37.712 --> 05:38.546 Lord, help her.
- 05:38.629 --> 05:40.923 Which reminds me, our carriages must be polished to a shine,
- 05:41.007 --> 05:43.634 and the horses' manes braided. We should bring out the finest silver.
- 05:43.718 --> 05:45.678 The queen may be hosting everything at the palace,
- 05:45.762 --> 05:47.263 but we must be ready to entertain here.
- 05:47.347 --> 05:51.100 And what of us, Brother? Should we also be polished and braided for the big day?
- 05:51.184 --> 05:52.518 We'll all be on display.
- 05:52.602 --> 05:55.396 Perhaps you might even scrub your hands for the occasion?
- 05:55.480 --> 05:56.814 I've been occupied at the academy.
- 05:56.898 --> 05:59.150 -What about Miss Edwina's sister? -What about her?
- 05:59.817 --> 06:01.486 Will she come to live with us, too?
- 06:01.569 --> 06:04.906 Oh, I do hope so. It'll be a boon to have another intelligent woman in the house.
- 06:04.989 --> 06:07.492 Another? Mm. You're overcounting.
- 06:08.076 --> 06:10.078 Eloise, I shall need your help today.
- 06:10.161 --> 06:12.413 There is the dinner to plan with Lady Danbury
- 06:12.497 --> 06:16.125 to welcome the Sharmas into the family. And then the engagement ball next week--
- 06:16.209 --> 06:17.627 I am sorry, Mama, but, uh,
- 06:18.294 --> 06:21.047 I am attending a lecture this afternoon. Flower arranging.
- 06:22.131 --> 06:23.925 Penelope's mama is forcing her to go,
- 06:24.008 --> 06:26.135 and you've wanted me to find more ladylike pursuits.
- 06:27.762 --> 06:29.972 For how long have you cared about flower arranging?
- 06:30.056 --> 06:32.225 I am an open-minded woman. I can care about many things.
- 06:36.312 --> 06:39.190 I do wonder about the trim. Is it too much?
- 06:39.273 --> 06:41.901 Nothing is too much now that the queen is hosting.
- 06:42.485 --> 06:44.445 Let me show you the French tulle.
- 06:44.529 --> 06:45.571 Oh yes.
- 06:51.828 --> 06:55.039 Did I tell you we will be married by the archbishop himself?
- 06:56.582 --> 06:57.750 Several times.
- 06:58.626 --> 07:01.170 We must find you a dress too.
- 07:01.254 --> 07:04.006 -I have plenty of dresses. -This one must be special.
- 07:04.090 --> 07:07.301 After all, this wedding is as much your triumph as mine.
- 07:08.136 --> 07:10.638 Whatever you said to the viscount at Aubrey Hall, Didi,
- 07:10.721 --> 07:13.182 it clearly swayed him to declare himself.
- 07:13.266 --> 07:14.100 I…
- 07:14.183 --> 07:17.145 -I cannot claim credit. -I shall bestow it, all the same.
- 07:18.146 --> 07:20.064 It will be so exciting living in London.
- 07:20.148 --> 07:23.109 The viscount said there might even be snow this winter.
- 07:23.192 --> 07:26.696 -Won't that be exciting? -You must enjoy it without me, Bon.
- 07:26.779 --> 07:29.073 Recall I am to set sail soon after you wed.
- 07:29.157 --> 07:30.867 But you will return to visit, of course.
- 07:30.950 --> 07:33.786 And when the viscount and I are blessed with children,
- 07:33.870 --> 07:35.913 you shall be their favorite aunt.
- 07:36.747 --> 07:38.708 Think of us all together as a family.
- 07:42.044 --> 07:44.881 I do not know why Miss Edwina's betrothal is so special.
- 07:44.964 --> 07:47.216 She's quite overshadowed my happy news.
- 07:47.300 --> 07:50.720 A fact we may well be glad of. Put those silks down.
- 07:50.803 --> 07:52.889 Cotton will do for your trousseau.
- 07:53.890 --> 07:57.268 Has my maid yet delivered that dress that needs altering, Madame Delacroix?
- 08:01.481 --> 08:04.984 I received your latest. It's been a busy week, has it not?
- 08:05.485 --> 08:06.486 Indeed.
- 08:07.403 --> 08:10.323 The ton are quite ravenous for news of the upcoming nuptials.
- 08:10.406 --> 08:12.158 Perhaps Lady Whistledown will report
- 08:12.241 --> 08:16.162 that I have been entrusted with our diamond's wedding ensemble.
- 08:16.245 --> 08:19.123 Tell me, are my musings not offering you sufficient business?
- 08:19.207 --> 08:20.249 Indeed.
- 08:20.333 --> 08:23.419 But why should there be limits to a woman's ambitions?
- 08:23.503 --> 08:26.214 I would think you, of all people, would understand.
- 08:26.297 --> 08:28.841 There is always more to be achieved.
- 08:35.765 --> 08:37.683 Thank you, Clara. That will be all.
- 08:51.781 --> 08:52.990 Lord Bridgerton?
- 08:53.574 --> 08:54.617 Miss Sharma.
- 08:54.700 --> 08:57.370 Lord Bridgerton and his guest are waiting.
- 08:57.453 --> 08:58.913 I see that. Thank you.
- 08:58.996 --> 09:00.414 This is the jeweler.
- 09:00.498 --> 09:03.209 We are here to have Miss Edwina's betrothal ring altered to fit.
- 09:03.292 --> 09:05.044 My apologies,
- 09:05.127 --> 09:07.630 but my sister and my mother have not yet returned home.
- 09:07.713 --> 09:10.007 Of course. Then we shall trouble you no further.
- 09:10.091 --> 09:11.259 Is that cake?
- 09:11.884 --> 09:12.885 It is indeed.
- 09:12.969 --> 09:14.387 -Lemon? -Pardon?
- 09:14.470 --> 09:17.139 I fancy a good lemon.
- 09:21.227 --> 09:24.188 Might I offer you some refreshment, Mr.…
- 09:24.272 --> 09:28.234 Brookes. Only if you insist. I mean, it would be churlish to refuse.
- 09:28.317 --> 09:31.988 Tea, three spoons of sugar, and perhaps some sandwiches too, thank you.
- 10:01.892 --> 10:03.853 It is fine weather we are having, is it not?
- 10:04.979 --> 10:06.814 You wish to speak to me of the weather?
- 10:07.815 --> 10:10.401 Is there another topic of conversation that'd be more appropriate?
- 10:10.484 --> 10:12.612 There is nothing appropriate
- 10:12.695 --> 10:14.989 about what you're doing proceeding with this engagement.
- 10:15.072 --> 10:17.783 On the contrary, I believe it is the most proper outcome for all.
- 10:17.867 --> 10:20.411 Oh. And what of everything that passed between us at Aubrey Hall?
- 10:22.288 --> 10:23.914 Nothing passed between us.
- 10:25.333 --> 10:26.417 I am a gentleman.
- 10:27.585 --> 10:28.669 Is that so?
- 10:29.170 --> 10:32.673 Need I remind you, sir, if anyone other than your sister
- 10:32.757 --> 10:37.637 discovered us in the library that night, then we, too, would be obliged to wed.
- 10:37.720 --> 10:38.679 Nothing happened.
- 10:39.597 --> 10:42.391 Would the two of us being obliged to marry be the outcome you desire?
- 10:42.475 --> 10:43.309 Of course not.
- 10:43.392 --> 10:47.647 Then let us both be… glad we have avoided such an unthinkable fate.
- 10:49.106 --> 10:51.067 I say, Miss Sharma,
- 10:51.150 --> 10:54.612 do you and your sister happen to share gloves?
- 10:55.237 --> 10:56.072 I--
- 10:56.781 --> 10:58.199 Yes, on occasion.
- 10:58.282 --> 10:59.200 I knew it.
- 10:59.283 --> 11:02.036 I can take the measure of a hand at 20 paces.
- 11:02.119 --> 11:04.664 We may use your finger to size the ring.
- 11:04.747 --> 11:06.916 -Oh, I beg your pardo-- -That shan't be necessary.
- 11:06.999 --> 11:08.084 Nonsense!
- 11:16.384 --> 11:18.260 Thank you.
- 11:34.860 --> 11:36.529 It is a beautiful piece.
- 11:43.411 --> 11:46.664 It is the ring my father gave to my mother before they were wed.
- 11:55.214 --> 11:58.300 -Lord Bridgerton? -They came to, uh, alter the ring.
- 11:58.384 --> 11:59.844 Uh, Mr. Brookes insisted.
- 12:01.470 --> 12:03.222 Just a moment.
- 12:05.182 --> 12:06.517 It appears to be stuck.
- 12:06.600 --> 12:08.602 -Well, Edwina is here now. -Yes.
- 12:10.312 --> 12:12.398 -Kate, are you-- -Yes, almost.
- 12:17.153 --> 12:18.446 Just, uh…
- 12:19.071 --> 12:20.281 Just another…
- 12:20.364 --> 12:21.699 There.
- 12:22.742 --> 12:24.368 -All yours. -Ah.
- 12:25.369 --> 12:27.204 Here you all are.
- 12:27.955 --> 12:30.708 I have news.
- 12:31.542 --> 12:33.919 Lord and Lady Sheffield sent word
- 12:34.003 --> 12:35.629 they are in London.
- 12:35.713 --> 12:36.756 Our grandparents?
- 12:36.839 --> 12:39.592 Indeed. It seems they read the engagement announcement
- 12:39.675 --> 12:41.510 and wish to make your acquaintance.
- 12:41.594 --> 12:44.346 And, uh, that of your future husband, of course.
- 12:44.889 --> 12:48.058 -I should be delighted to meet them. -They are already in town?
- 12:48.142 --> 12:51.395 They arrived… last night.
- 12:52.563 --> 12:54.899 -Is something wrong? -Not at all.
- 12:55.649 --> 12:58.986 I shall invite them to the engagement dinner tomorrow.
- 12:59.069 --> 13:01.530 I'm sure it will be a most joyous reunion
- 13:01.614 --> 13:03.574 after all these years.
- 13:04.825 --> 13:06.535 Yes, Lady Mary?
- 13:06.619 --> 13:07.703 Indeed.
- 13:07.787 --> 13:10.206 -Hmm. I shall look forward to it. -Ah.
- 13:10.790 --> 13:12.958 -Are you ready to promenade? -I am, my lord.
- 13:14.835 --> 13:16.837 I suddenly feel a headache coming on.
- 13:16.921 --> 13:20.090 Lady Danbury, would you be so kind as to chaperone my daughter?
- 13:20.174 --> 13:21.383 Of course.
- 13:21.467 --> 13:24.386 Miss Sharma and I would be glad of the fresh air.
- 13:24.470 --> 13:27.056 Oh, I should really stay with Mama.
- 13:27.139 --> 13:28.432 You will escort me.
- 13:45.533 --> 13:46.826 Whoa!
- 13:49.870 --> 13:51.664 I wish you every happiness.
- 13:52.873 --> 13:55.417 How could you invite the Sheffields to dinner
- 13:55.501 --> 13:56.627 when you know full well
- 13:56.710 --> 13:59.463 the pain my mother has suffered after their rejection of her?
- 13:59.547 --> 14:04.301 Indeed. Which is why I shall not answer their impoliteness with my own.
- 14:04.385 --> 14:07.930 And besides, is this not the reconciliation you wished for?
- 14:08.013 --> 14:10.599 Edwina returned to the bosom of the Sheffield family
- 14:10.683 --> 14:13.018 to reclaim the fortune you so desperately need?
- 14:13.102 --> 14:15.020 Yes, but not until after the wedding.
- 14:15.104 --> 14:17.857 Edwina is still in the dark about the conditions of their favor.
- 14:17.940 --> 14:20.693 And if the Bridgertons were to learn of it, they might feel--
- 14:20.776 --> 14:24.572 As if you contrived a match for your own concealed ends
- 14:24.655 --> 14:26.991 and might call off the wedding?
- 14:27.867 --> 14:29.869 I have to wonder if you might not secretly
- 14:29.952 --> 14:33.163 rejoice were the viscount to break the engagement.
- 14:33.664 --> 14:35.374 Why would you ever say such a thing?
- 14:38.127 --> 14:39.920 They are betrothed.
- 14:40.421 --> 14:43.090 The viscount made a charming proposal,
- 14:43.173 --> 14:45.593 your sister gave her giddy acceptance,
- 14:45.676 --> 14:48.095 and in the eyes of society, and, might I add,
- 14:48.178 --> 14:51.181 the Queen of England herself, they are as good as wed.
- 14:51.265 --> 14:53.601 Only a very great scandal
- 14:54.184 --> 14:56.979 would prevent this marriage from proceeding now.
- 14:57.062 --> 15:01.108 The kind of scandal that would send alarms through the entire ton
- 15:01.191 --> 15:04.403 and be a stain from which the penniless Sharma family
- 15:04.486 --> 15:05.821 would never recover.
- 15:05.905 --> 15:08.866 Only a fool would jeopardize the marriage now.
- 15:10.492 --> 15:11.744 So I ask you,
- 15:13.162 --> 15:14.371 Miss Sharma,
- 15:15.748 --> 15:17.249 are you that fool?
- 15:24.423 --> 15:25.382 No.
- 15:30.179 --> 15:31.639 I did not think so.
- 15:32.431 --> 15:33.724 Lady Danbury.
- 15:33.807 --> 15:35.184 Mr. Dorset.
- 15:36.852 --> 15:38.938 -What a pleasure to see you here today.
- 15:39.021 --> 15:41.148 Miss Sharma, perhaps you would be so kind
- 15:41.231 --> 15:43.317 as to accompany me on a turn around the lake?
- 15:43.400 --> 15:44.485 I am rather tired.
- 15:44.568 --> 15:46.111 She would be delighted.
- 15:49.365 --> 15:51.742 You're still angry with me over that business at the races.
- 15:51.825 --> 15:53.077 I wish to apologize
- 15:53.160 --> 15:55.329 and throw myself at your mercy.
- 15:57.373 --> 16:00.292 Very well, my lord. A turn would be most pleasant.
- 16:09.176 --> 16:10.928 What a handsome couple they make.
- 16:13.681 --> 16:14.598 Pardon me?
- 16:15.432 --> 16:17.393 Mr. Dorset and my sister.
- 16:17.476 --> 16:20.771 I noticed that he was quite smitten with her the last time they met.
- 16:21.355 --> 16:24.108 Perhaps he will convince her to stay in England, after all.
- 16:24.900 --> 16:26.360 She barely knows the gentleman.
- 16:26.944 --> 16:29.321 Nor did I you, at first.
- 16:29.405 --> 16:32.074 But love moves swiftly, does it not?
- 16:32.157 --> 16:34.660 Miss Edwina, you must tell me your favorite colors,
- 16:34.743 --> 16:36.537 so I may plan to incorporate them
- 16:36.620 --> 16:38.956 in the ornamentation for your engagement ball.
- 16:39.957 --> 16:42.001 You are too kind, Lady Bridgerton.
- 16:42.084 --> 16:44.086 I am certain your taste is superb.
- 16:47.256 --> 16:49.675 …to honor both Bridgerton and Sharma families,
- 16:49.758 --> 16:51.385 now that we are to be joined.
- 16:54.722 --> 16:57.641 -Is that not so, Anthony? -Absolutely.
- 17:06.150 --> 17:07.443 Look at me!
- 17:08.944 --> 17:11.739 Your sister seems… happy.
- 17:11.822 --> 17:13.866 That is one way of putting it.
- 17:13.949 --> 17:16.285 The new Lord Featherington seems an interesting fellow.
- 17:16.368 --> 17:18.162 A man of commerce, is he not?
- 17:18.245 --> 17:22.124 Yes. He has ruby mines in America. They are flourishing, I hear.
- 17:22.207 --> 17:23.751 Perhaps I should introduce myself.
- 17:23.834 --> 17:28.338 After all, everyone else is finding some purpose to their lives.
- 17:28.422 --> 17:29.465 Anthony is to be married.
- 17:30.299 --> 17:33.010 Benedict has his artistic pursuits.
- 17:33.093 --> 17:34.219 And, well,
- 17:34.803 --> 17:37.431 here I am… feeding the ducks.
- 17:37.514 --> 17:40.225 -I am sure the ducks are most grateful.
- 17:41.060 --> 17:44.063 You have a good deal of time and plentiful opportunities to make your mark.
- 17:44.146 --> 17:46.273 As Eloise would no doubt remind me.
- 17:46.356 --> 17:48.901 Where is your sister? I have not seen her out today.
- 17:49.651 --> 17:51.862 She mentioned something about flower arranging
- 17:51.945 --> 17:53.822 with you today, in fact.
- 17:54.490 --> 17:56.325 Indeed. I am meeting her later.
- 17:56.950 --> 17:58.702 -Mr. Bridgerton. -Mm.
- 18:03.040 --> 18:04.333 This is the place.
- 18:04.416 --> 18:06.418 Doesn't look like a place for shopping to me.
- 18:06.502 --> 18:08.504 I am collecting a unique gift
- 18:08.587 --> 18:11.465 for my brother's wedding.
- 18:11.548 --> 18:13.592 Miss? Miss!
- 18:21.016 --> 18:23.769 It is our right to be treated not merely as chattels.
- 18:23.852 --> 18:27.064 Surely talk of rights must draw on Locke's Treatise.
- 18:27.147 --> 18:28.482 You and your treatise!
- 18:28.565 --> 18:30.567 If you've ever worked an honest day's labor,
- 18:30.651 --> 18:33.862 you know how little such grand talk serves the working man.
- 18:33.946 --> 18:36.824 Now, if I may be permitted to continue,
- 18:36.907 --> 18:39.201 I should like to propose to this assembly
- 18:39.284 --> 18:43.372 the radical idea that it is not best for women to rely
- 18:43.455 --> 18:44.915 for their education
- 18:44.998 --> 18:48.293 on what falls to them by chance from their husbands and brothers.
- 18:48.377 --> 18:49.711 Hear! Hear!
- 18:51.547 --> 18:52.840 Is it not thrilling?
- 18:53.549 --> 18:54.383 You.
- 18:54.466 --> 18:55.634 Me.
- 18:55.717 --> 18:58.428 I told you, I don't know anything about your Whistledown gossip.
- 18:58.512 --> 19:00.139 It is not her I seek today,
- 19:00.722 --> 19:03.267 but the exchange of ideas with like-minded men and women
- 19:03.350 --> 19:05.769 on subjects beyond the trivial concerns of polite society.
- 19:05.853 --> 19:08.689 Ideas that you yourself invited me to consider.
- 19:09.273 --> 19:11.483 So, you're an admirer of my work?
- 19:11.567 --> 19:14.778 I would not go so far. It is serviceable, I suppose.
- 19:14.862 --> 19:17.739 And yet you <i>have</i> come far.
- 19:18.824 --> 19:23.287 You're a long way from Mayfair for writings that are merely serviceable.
- 19:23.370 --> 19:26.623 Luckily for me, there is a thrilling invention called a carriage
- 19:26.707 --> 19:29.751 that may convey a lady from one place to another.
- 19:29.835 --> 19:31.211 It is a marvel, to be sure.
- 19:32.254 --> 19:33.297 What's your name?
- 19:35.090 --> 19:37.551 -Eloise Bridgerton. -Pleased to meet you, Miss Eloise.
- 19:38.385 --> 19:39.428 I'm Theo Sharpe.
- 19:39.511 --> 19:40.637 I know.
- 19:40.721 --> 19:41.889 You know?
- 19:44.224 --> 19:46.602 As I know, there are several errors in your arguments
- 19:46.685 --> 19:48.270 that I must bring to your attention.
- 19:48.353 --> 19:51.857 Have you a pencil? Never mind. You may borrow mine.
- 19:51.940 --> 19:55.194 …to marry you, did she not? Allow me to continue.
- 20:08.165 --> 20:10.250 It is most refreshing on the water.
- 20:10.334 --> 20:13.420 These days, it is hard to find even a moment of peace.
- 20:13.503 --> 20:16.006 One of the things I enjoyed most when I visited India.
- 20:16.089 --> 20:19.009 Many think it a bustling, noisy place,
- 20:19.092 --> 20:22.137 but I found the country most tranquil in nature.
- 20:23.555 --> 20:26.600 There's a river just outside the home where I grew up.
- 20:26.683 --> 20:29.102 On hot days, I would sneak away to soak my feet.
- 20:29.186 --> 20:31.355 The turtles and I became quite good friends.
- 20:31.438 --> 20:32.606 Sounds idyllic.
- 20:32.689 --> 20:33.523 It is.
- 20:34.441 --> 20:37.069 Which is why I'm counting the days until I may return home.
- 20:38.028 --> 20:42.115 I had assumed you would remain in England now that your sister is to be viscountess.
- 20:42.199 --> 20:45.702 My mother and Edwina will remain here. I shall journey back alone.
- 20:46.495 --> 20:47.913 An adventure, indeed.
- 20:48.413 --> 20:50.332 You have plans for your arrival?
- 20:51.083 --> 20:54.586 I shall teach. Become a governess, as you call it here.
- 21:00.592 --> 21:02.010 It will be most fulfilling.
- 21:02.844 --> 21:05.806 Enjoying an independent life, running my own household.
- 21:05.889 --> 21:08.475 And perhaps playing host to old friends?
- 21:08.558 --> 21:11.019 I've long thought to return to India myself
- 21:11.103 --> 21:15.023 since there is much to be learned from their medical practice.
- 21:17.651 --> 21:19.861 If your travels do lead you there,
- 21:19.945 --> 21:22.990 then I would be most happy to show you the places I know.
- 21:25.867 --> 21:28.412 I should be working at the club, Alice.
- 21:29.037 --> 21:30.872 Not taking a stroll.
- 21:30.956 --> 21:32.249 This<i> is</i> work.
- 21:32.833 --> 21:35.544 We need more gentlemen members, and here they are.
- 21:35.627 --> 21:37.045 Mr. Mondrich.
- 21:37.129 --> 21:39.047 Word of your prowess crossed the Atlantic.
- 21:39.131 --> 21:42.759 You got the better of McKellan in just two rounds, is that not so?
- 21:43.885 --> 21:45.220 That was a long time ago.
- 21:45.887 --> 21:48.890 I've been known to plant a few facers in the ring myself.
- 21:49.474 --> 21:52.811 Ah, but not up to your abilities, I'm sure.
- 21:54.062 --> 21:56.648 You must pay a visit to Will's club and talk more.
- 21:56.732 --> 22:00.027 You'll find it enlivening and has a warm welcome for all.
- 22:00.110 --> 22:03.488 That may be the most tempting invitation I've had in some time.
- 22:04.406 --> 22:06.199 Uh, Lord Featherington, a word?
- 22:07.159 --> 22:08.285 Excuse me.
- 22:08.368 --> 22:11.204 Need I remind you that the answer to our family's predicament
- 22:11.288 --> 22:14.708 will not be found disporting yourself in places of public resort?
- 22:14.791 --> 22:17.753 Nor will it be solved by running up yet more bills at the modiste.
- 22:17.836 --> 22:19.671 I just saw the latest accounts.
- 22:19.755 --> 22:22.299 You are supposed to be finding a way out of this mess,
- 22:22.382 --> 22:24.259 not drowning us even deeper in debt.
- 22:24.343 --> 22:25.719 Keep your voice down.
- 22:25.802 --> 22:27.304 Are you trying to ruin us all?
- 22:27.387 --> 22:30.640 Not when you are already making such fine work of it yourself.
- 22:42.235 --> 22:44.321 I see you are smiling, Didi.
- 22:44.905 --> 22:47.199 See the amusements London has to offer.
- 22:47.282 --> 22:49.576 There's water, too, in India.
- 22:49.659 --> 22:53.080 My sister spares no opportunity to find reasons for me to stay.
- 22:53.163 --> 22:55.248 I may well join her in her endeavors.
- 22:55.332 --> 22:56.750 That knot will never hold.
- 22:56.833 --> 22:58.001 It is perfectly adequate.
- 22:58.085 --> 23:00.379 Then I must question your nautical skills, Dorset.
- 23:00.462 --> 23:01.463 Allow me.
- 23:07.260 --> 23:08.303 Pardon me.
- 23:14.267 --> 23:15.394 Miss Sharma.
- 23:15.977 --> 23:17.145 Lord Bridgerton.
- 23:37.958 --> 23:39.835 Oh my! Are you hurt?
- 23:39.918 --> 23:41.711 Not at all!
- 23:41.795 --> 23:44.840 The water is a rather welcoming refreshment,
- 23:44.923 --> 23:46.299 is it not, Bridgerton?
- 23:46.383 --> 23:47.759 Whoo!
- 23:48.760 --> 23:50.470 Refreshing indeed.
- 23:54.349 --> 23:56.309 Come now. It is not proper to stare.
- 24:21.626 --> 24:23.378 Penelope, what are you doing here?
- 24:23.462 --> 24:25.297 I thought we were to walk, as we usually do.
- 24:25.380 --> 24:26.882 My apologies. I had quite forgotten.
- 24:27.799 --> 24:31.178 Uh, well… you missed quite the scene at the lake yesterday.
- 24:31.261 --> 24:33.054 My brother's impromptu swim? I heard about it.
- 24:33.138 --> 24:34.306 Where were you?
- 24:34.931 --> 24:39.686 Alas, I was forced to occupy my day with tedious wedding errands,
- 24:39.769 --> 24:42.022 which Mama has listed me for yet again.
- 24:42.105 --> 24:44.149 I'm sorry, but I cannot stroll with you today.
- 24:45.275 --> 24:47.444 -I shall see you tomorrow, then. -Of course.
- 24:56.369 --> 24:57.996 Pardon me. Miss?
- 25:01.958 --> 25:05.587 Miss Eloise seems to have misplaced her reticule when she was out yesterday.
- 25:05.670 --> 25:08.256 I'll be happy to retrieve it. Where exactly did she visit?
- 25:09.049 --> 25:10.759 You'll not find it again, miss.
- 25:10.842 --> 25:14.137 I warned her, the streets of Bloomsbury aren't fit for a lady.
- 25:27.359 --> 25:29.486 -What are you doing? -Ah, Lord Featherington.
- 25:30.111 --> 25:33.990 Mr. Brookes here is just taking a look at some jewelry for me.
- 25:34.074 --> 25:36.284 It is a fine piece, is it not?
- 25:37.160 --> 25:37.994 Indeed.
- 25:38.078 --> 25:39.955 Uh, this is not a good time.
- 25:40.038 --> 25:42.999 -He should return at another date. -Nonsense. He's here now.
- 25:43.083 --> 25:44.918 And it is no trouble, is it?
- 25:45.001 --> 25:45.835 No.
- 25:58.723 --> 26:00.559 I was only planning to have the jewels cleaned,
- 26:00.642 --> 26:03.645 but tell me, what might a necklace such as that fetch?
- 26:04.604 --> 26:07.941 If it is of great value, I shall have to take more care.
- 26:08.024 --> 26:13.280 Well, I would require my proper tools for a definitive valuation,
- 26:13.363 --> 26:16.449 but I'd say you should take very great care, indeed.
- 26:16.533 --> 26:19.369 It is rare to see stones this fine.
- 26:20.078 --> 26:22.789 Now, is that not something?
- 26:24.749 --> 26:27.961 Thank you for your expert services, Mr. Brookes.
- 26:28.044 --> 26:31.756 I shall be in communication with you should I require anything further.
- 26:31.840 --> 26:32.716 No cake, then?
- 26:32.799 --> 26:34.009 -Another time. -Mm-hmm.
- 26:37.637 --> 26:40.140 Need I remind you, those are as counterfeit as a two-pound note.
- 26:40.223 --> 26:41.725 Quality counterfeits.
- 26:41.808 --> 26:44.686 If they're good enough to fool that nibbling owl of a man,
- 26:44.769 --> 26:47.022 then we may well make it through the season yet.
- 26:48.857 --> 26:51.067 I do hope you know what you're playing at.
- 26:55.322 --> 26:58.408 Well, there is no need to dismiss any staff, after all, Mrs. Varley.
- 26:58.491 --> 27:01.703 Mm. Let us pray he's got a whole trunk of them, ma'am.
- 27:01.786 --> 27:04.289 One bauble does not a fortune make.
- 27:29.981 --> 27:32.108 I declare, that's rather good.
- 27:32.192 --> 27:35.153 I am skilled at more than simply standing naked,
- 27:35.236 --> 27:36.905 Mister…
- 27:36.988 --> 27:39.074 Bridgerton. I do not doubt it.
- 27:39.157 --> 27:41.076 Then perhaps inform the academy.
- 27:41.660 --> 27:43.828 Although two of the founding members are women,
- 27:43.912 --> 27:46.373 we are still not yet allowed to enter the classroom.
- 27:46.873 --> 27:49.042 At least, not while we are clothed.
- 27:49.125 --> 27:51.670 So you work as a model
- 27:51.753 --> 27:54.714 as a way of learning from the lectures?
- 27:55.382 --> 27:57.217 -Ingenious. -Care to take a turn?
- 27:57.926 --> 27:59.844 It is harder than it looks.
- 28:00.720 --> 28:02.722 Mm.
- 28:04.474 --> 28:05.892 Like so?
- 28:35.588 --> 28:37.048 How long must I stay like this?
- 28:37.132 --> 28:38.591 That depends.
- 28:39.884 --> 28:43.263 What I really need is a study of the male form.
- 28:44.013 --> 28:45.014 The naked form.
- 28:47.350 --> 28:48.560 What say you?
- 29:10.415 --> 29:12.250 It is a lovely spot, is it not?
- 29:13.460 --> 29:14.919 It reminds me of the courtyard
- 29:15.003 --> 29:17.005 at the palace where we used to live.
- 29:18.631 --> 29:19.758 So calming.
- 29:23.011 --> 29:24.637 -Calming, yes.
- 29:33.646 --> 29:36.024 Nobody would blame you if you were to take sick, Mama,
- 29:36.107 --> 29:39.527 and send apologies for missing the dinner tonight.
- 29:39.611 --> 29:41.696 Lady Danbury has made it quite clear
- 29:41.780 --> 29:44.282 that it is necessary for all of us to attend.
- 29:49.412 --> 29:51.247 When was the last time you saw them?
- 29:53.625 --> 29:57.253 The night your dear father asked for my hand in marriage, I believe.
- 29:57.337 --> 29:58.838 Lord Sheffield made it clear,
- 29:58.922 --> 30:01.800 in no uncertain terms, that he did not support the match.
- 30:01.883 --> 30:04.135 So I had a choice to make
- 30:04.844 --> 30:06.179 between my family
- 30:07.514 --> 30:08.348 and my heart.
- 30:08.431 --> 30:10.725 And did you ever regret that choice?
- 30:15.230 --> 30:17.649 From the very first moment,
- 30:17.732 --> 30:19.984 your father and I were drawn together.
- 30:20.068 --> 30:22.403 It is a very powerful thing
- 30:22.487 --> 30:25.073 to meet someone and feel that you know them.
- 30:25.156 --> 30:27.325 In a way unlike any other.
- 30:32.622 --> 30:35.458 Still a rather high price to pay for love, I would think.
- 30:36.417 --> 30:37.794 Do not fret.
- 30:37.877 --> 30:41.381 Even my parents' presence cannot mar the happiness that is the occasion.
- 30:41.464 --> 30:43.883 I had always hoped that you and Edwina
- 30:43.967 --> 30:46.427 would be spared the choice between affluence and love,
- 30:46.511 --> 30:47.428 and now you shall.
- 30:47.512 --> 30:50.765 Edwina is to wed her heart's desire.
- 30:51.349 --> 30:54.227 And you have always wanted nothing more than your freedom.
- 30:59.983 --> 31:01.234 Of course, Mama.
- 31:02.026 --> 31:03.987 We shall all be perfectly happy.
- 31:15.915 --> 31:19.419 Lord and Lady Sheffield's return is certainly a surprise.
- 31:20.211 --> 31:24.841 But it shall be pleasant to see the family reconciled, will it not?
- 31:24.924 --> 31:27.760 I will be finished in a moment, Mother. We shall not be late.
- 31:35.268 --> 31:36.436 It is not that.
- 31:37.020 --> 31:39.814 I have been watching you all week.
- 31:39.898 --> 31:42.317 I-- I told myself I would support your choice,
- 31:42.400 --> 31:44.736 but I must admit, I am finding it quite difficult
- 31:44.819 --> 31:46.279 to continue to stay silent.
- 31:46.362 --> 31:48.489 You have been anything but silent.
- 31:48.573 --> 31:50.783 This is your betrothal, Anthony.
- 31:51.326 --> 31:52.493 Your marriage.
- 31:53.202 --> 31:56.205 To the woman that shall replace me as head of this household, might I add.
- 31:56.289 --> 31:58.374 You question Miss Edwina's suitability for the role?
- 31:58.458 --> 32:01.252 I question the example you are setting your siblings,
- 32:01.753 --> 32:05.673 marrying a woman for whom you clearly hold no great tenderness or love.
- 32:09.844 --> 32:12.889 Why will you not accept that the love match between you and father
- 32:12.972 --> 32:14.682 was the exception, not the rule?
- 32:14.766 --> 32:18.603 Because I wish for you two to know the joy of an exceptional marriage.
- 32:19.145 --> 32:22.023 You should be excited to wed Miss Edwina,
- 32:22.106 --> 32:26.027 but for all I have seen, you act as if you are approaching the gallows instead.
- 32:26.903 --> 32:28.446 If this is not what you want,
- 32:29.781 --> 32:31.574 you must say something now, Anthony, before--
- 32:31.658 --> 32:33.284 What I want is beside the point.
- 32:35.828 --> 32:38.498 I could never dishonor Miss Edwina by begging off now.
- 32:39.374 --> 32:40.750 You are right.
- 32:40.833 --> 32:43.127 A gentleman cannot take back his word.
- 32:44.629 --> 32:45.630 But a woman may.
- 32:46.422 --> 32:48.508 It happens all the time with young ladies,
- 32:48.591 --> 32:50.802 swept up in the dizziness of receiving a proposal
- 32:50.885 --> 32:53.221 before the reality of marriage becomes clear.
- 32:53.972 --> 32:56.265 If Miss Edwina were to call off the engagement,
- 32:56.349 --> 32:58.184 no one would find fault with her.
- 32:58.267 --> 33:01.020 And you would not be dishonoring her in the slightest,
- 33:01.104 --> 33:04.649 releasing her from the obligation before any vows were exchanged.
- 33:08.528 --> 33:10.947 She does not wish to end the engagement.
- 33:11.030 --> 33:14.033 But does she know your true feelings on the matter?
- 33:15.284 --> 33:16.661 My feelings are of no concern.
- 33:16.744 --> 33:19.914 What matters is my responsibility, which has always been to wed.
- 33:22.000 --> 33:23.251 My darling…
- 33:26.838 --> 33:30.591 If you have doubts, do not simply set them aside.
- 33:30.675 --> 33:34.137 This is the most important choice you will ever make.
- 33:35.054 --> 33:36.806 And it would break my heart
- 33:36.889 --> 33:40.018 to see you spend the rest of your life in regret.
- 33:43.062 --> 33:45.648 I dare say it would break your father's heart too.
- 34:01.622 --> 34:03.166 You seem distracted, Didi.
- 34:03.249 --> 34:04.167 Oh.
- 34:04.250 --> 34:06.002 It's, uh, just a headache.
- 34:06.627 --> 34:09.505 From, uh… From all the excitement these days.
- 34:13.134 --> 34:17.346 Is that all that ails you? I have seen how ill at ease you are with the viscount.
- 34:17.889 --> 34:21.893 I was hoping we had put all that behind us now that Anthony is to be my husband.
- 34:22.643 --> 34:24.687 He's asked you to call him by his given name?
- 34:24.771 --> 34:26.773 No, not yet.
- 34:26.856 --> 34:28.900 But it sounds fine, does it not?
- 34:29.400 --> 34:32.653 Do you think the Sheffields will like this dress?
- 34:32.737 --> 34:36.741 My stomach is in a knot, I am so excited to meet them.
- 34:36.824 --> 34:38.117 Before you do,
- 34:39.035 --> 34:40.745 there is something I must tell you
- 34:41.537 --> 34:44.082 about your grandparents, and how they have, in fact,
- 34:44.707 --> 34:45.708 influenced our trip--
- 34:45.792 --> 34:48.461 Our guests have arrived.
- 34:55.093 --> 34:57.261 You may spare me the instruction, Lady Danbury.
- 34:57.345 --> 34:59.472 I know I am to be on my best behavior.
- 35:00.389 --> 35:03.434 You think me an unfeeling harridan,
- 35:04.268 --> 35:06.771 but perhaps it would surprise you to learn
- 35:06.854 --> 35:08.731 that I am hosting this dinner
- 35:08.815 --> 35:10.483 for your sake.
- 35:11.067 --> 35:13.152 Your sister's betrothal may be the end
- 35:13.236 --> 35:16.447 of certain hopes you harbored regarding the viscount,
- 35:16.531 --> 35:19.867 but access to the Sheffield fortune
- 35:19.951 --> 35:23.246 would certainly be a fine reward, would it not?
- 35:23.996 --> 35:27.917 A life of independence
- 35:28.000 --> 35:30.128 is no mere consolation.
- 35:30.211 --> 35:32.839 Indeed, many would think it the better prize.
- 35:32.922 --> 35:37.093 After passion cools and fate intervenes,
- 35:37.885 --> 35:40.179 who else is a woman left with
- 35:41.013 --> 35:42.098 but herself?
- 35:45.434 --> 35:46.477 Hmm.
- 35:47.103 --> 35:48.354 Come along.
- 35:48.437 --> 35:50.606 Our guests are waiting.
- 35:51.357 --> 35:52.275 Hmm.
- 35:59.699 --> 36:00.700 Hmm.
- 36:02.243 --> 36:06.289 Ah, Lord and Lady Sheffield, it has been too long.
- 36:06.372 --> 36:10.126 May I present Miss Sharma and Miss Edwina Sharma.
- 36:10.209 --> 36:12.962 Oh, my dear, look at you.
- 36:13.045 --> 36:16.299 Isn't she quite as lovely as the report said?
- 36:16.382 --> 36:17.466 You are too kind.
- 36:18.509 --> 36:20.928 I'm most happy to make your acquaintance.
- 36:21.012 --> 36:24.849 We have been waiting so many years to meet you.
- 36:24.932 --> 36:27.518 I wish to know everything about you.
- 36:27.602 --> 36:29.770 Do you enjoy dancing? Music?
- 36:29.854 --> 36:31.480 You must accompany us to the opera.
- 36:31.564 --> 36:34.942 We have a fine box which has been gathering dust.
- 36:35.026 --> 36:37.778 Indeed, it has been too long since we've seen you both in town,
- 36:37.862 --> 36:38.905 Lord and Lady Sheffield.
- 36:38.988 --> 36:41.199 -Yes. -Yes, indeed, it has.
- 36:42.325 --> 36:43.576 Mother.
- 36:44.160 --> 36:45.244 -Father. -Mm.
- 36:46.287 --> 36:47.705 I do enjoy the opera.
- 36:47.788 --> 36:50.374 My sister Kate is the one who introduced me to it.
- 36:53.252 --> 36:55.463 Ah. Shall we go through to dinner?
- 36:55.546 --> 36:57.381 Oh, yes. Come with me, child.
- 37:06.349 --> 37:09.477 And, of course, you must be our guests at the Sheffield manor.
- 37:09.560 --> 37:11.979 It is nothing compared to the estates at Aubrey Hall,
- 37:12.063 --> 37:15.733 to be sure, but I think it a most pretty part of Hertfordshire.
- 37:15.816 --> 37:19.946 Do you shoot? We have a fine stock of birds, and you are always welcome.
- 37:20.029 --> 37:22.323 Thank you for the invitation. I do enjoy shooting.
- 37:22.406 --> 37:23.532 Well…
- 37:23.616 --> 37:24.659 As does Kate.
- 37:24.742 --> 37:27.745 The two of them almost bagged a stag on our trip to the country.
- 37:27.828 --> 37:30.373 How… unusual.
- 37:30.456 --> 37:33.334 Do they teach young ladies to shoot in India?
- 37:33.417 --> 37:35.127 Only the fortunate ones.
- 37:38.756 --> 37:40.591 Uh, Lord and Lady Sheffield,
- 37:40.675 --> 37:42.843 how long do you plan to remain in town?
- 37:42.927 --> 37:44.762 Oh, we shall stay for the wedding.
- 37:44.845 --> 37:47.390 Imagine. The queen herself
- 37:47.473 --> 37:50.017 overseeing my granddaughter's nuptials.
- 37:50.101 --> 37:54.397 Her Majesty is kind to be so forgiving after everything that has happened.
- 37:54.981 --> 37:57.149 Now, now. We are all family here.
- 37:57.233 --> 37:58.567 Oh, yes, of course we are.
- 37:59.360 --> 38:01.612 Even after our daughter so callously rejected
- 38:01.696 --> 38:03.322 the match we had found for her.
- 38:03.406 --> 38:07.410 -My dear, we agreed-- -An earl, no less, with 12,000 acres.
- 38:07.493 --> 38:09.370 Any other young lady
- 38:09.453 --> 38:13.666 would've fallen to her knees in gratitude that her parents were showing such care.
- 38:13.749 --> 38:17.169 This sauce is delicious, Lady Danbury. Have your cook give mine the recipe.
- 38:17.253 --> 38:19.088 It is the gooseberry, I believe.
- 38:19.171 --> 38:23.134 Lady Sheffield, you've got quite the sweet tooth, I do recall?
- 38:23.718 --> 38:26.304 And all for what? A mere clerk, was he?
- 38:26.387 --> 38:29.765 And with a child from a previous marriage to God-knows-who.
- 38:29.849 --> 38:31.017 My mother has a name.
- 38:31.100 --> 38:32.310 Lady Sheffield, I must ask--
- 38:32.393 --> 38:36.772 We could not show our faces in society for years.
- 38:37.356 --> 38:38.607 Not that she should care.
- 38:38.691 --> 38:42.236 She simply sailed away from all of us with that man,
- 38:42.320 --> 38:43.696 robbing us of our grandchild.
- 38:43.779 --> 38:44.864 Grandchildren.
- 38:46.615 --> 38:47.658 I have two daughters
- 38:47.742 --> 38:51.245 with whom you have had every opportunity to form a connection.
- 38:51.329 --> 38:53.289 But the choice to shun us was yours alone.
- 38:53.372 --> 38:54.248 I beg your pardon--
- 38:54.332 --> 38:56.292 And do not think I took it lightly,
- 38:56.375 --> 38:58.794 being cast out by the only family I had ever known.
- 38:58.878 --> 39:02.340 I was heartbroken, indeed. But in time, I came to see
- 39:02.423 --> 39:05.134 that, in your cruelty, you did us all a great service.
- 39:05.217 --> 39:07.762 I hardly think this a proper dinner conversation.
- 39:07.845 --> 39:09.430 I quite agree. Please, collect--
- 39:09.513 --> 39:12.016 When you cast me out, what you did was set me free.
- 39:12.725 --> 39:16.520 Free to raise my daughters far from your constant judgment
- 39:16.604 --> 39:19.482 and craven demands that they should chase wealth
- 39:19.565 --> 39:21.776 and titles above all else!
- 39:21.859 --> 39:24.403 You are a fine one to talk.
- 39:24.487 --> 39:27.740 You speak of scorning riches, and yet you have come crawling back
- 39:27.823 --> 39:29.283 to snatch at our fortune.
- 39:29.367 --> 39:31.994 -Lady Danbury is right-- -Believe me, I want nothing from you.
- 39:32.078 --> 39:34.372 Oh, you may not, but your daughter certainly does.
- 39:36.749 --> 39:37.583 Mama?
- 39:37.666 --> 39:42.129 The trust fund we have set up for her. The condition of which clearly states
- 39:42.213 --> 39:46.926 that she must marry a man of good English breeding to inherit.
- 39:47.802 --> 39:51.389 You did not think we would allow another generation to pollute
- 39:51.472 --> 39:52.890 the Sheffield name, did you?
- 39:52.973 --> 39:55.434 Didi, what are they talking about?
- 39:55.518 --> 39:58.020 -What have you done? -Anthony, did you know about this?
- 39:58.104 --> 40:00.022 I shall explain everything.
- 40:00.106 --> 40:03.567 I see this one has inherited your penchant for avoiding the truth.
- 40:03.651 --> 40:05.569 Or that's something she inherited from her father.
- 40:05.653 --> 40:06.779 That is enough.
- 40:08.781 --> 40:10.825 I can only think you've been exiled from good society
- 40:10.908 --> 40:13.202 because of your deficient manners rather than any other sin.
- 40:13.285 --> 40:16.038 Since the moment you arrived, you have failed to show the proper respect
- 40:16.122 --> 40:18.082 for the Sharma family, and I will not stand for it.
- 40:18.165 --> 40:20.584 -I declare-- -I will not… stand for it.
- 40:21.585 --> 40:24.004 Lady Mary has done admirably in raising her daughters.
- 40:24.088 --> 40:28.300 They are intelligent, kind, loyal women.
- 40:28.884 --> 40:30.511 And a credit to <i>both</i> their parents.
- 40:31.637 --> 40:35.808 And since you clearly do not wish to jeopardize your social standing
- 40:35.891 --> 40:38.727 by associating with such company, I suggest you do not.
- 40:38.811 --> 40:39.937 You may leave at once!
- 40:40.020 --> 40:41.689 You cannot be serious!
- 40:41.772 --> 40:43.816 Please send for Lord and Lady Sheffield's carriage.
- 40:43.899 --> 40:45.109 They can wait outside.
- 40:45.943 --> 40:48.446 And do not trouble yourselves for an invitation for the wedding,
- 40:48.529 --> 40:50.448 for you shall not receive one.
- 40:51.282 --> 40:53.284 This is beyond the pale.
- 40:54.785 --> 40:58.664 And if you think you shall inherit a single sovereign now,
- 40:58.747 --> 41:00.458 you are sorely mistaken.
- 41:17.808 --> 41:19.560 Lord Bridgerton, Lady Bridgerton.
- 41:19.643 --> 41:21.395 -I must apologize-- -We should take our leave.
- 41:21.479 --> 41:22.438 Yes.
- 41:23.063 --> 41:25.608 Thank you for the evening, Lady Danbury.
- 41:25.691 --> 41:27.485 It was quite enlightening.
- 41:27.568 --> 41:28.569 My lord--
- 41:28.652 --> 41:30.029 Good evening.
- 41:31.530 --> 41:33.282 -You lied to me. -Please, Bon.
- 41:45.753 --> 41:46.879 Lord Bridgerton!
- 41:48.255 --> 41:50.591 Lord Bridgerton, I beg a word!
- 41:51.717 --> 41:53.260 -We must be going. -Please.
- 41:56.180 --> 41:57.932 Mother, I shall meet you at the house.
- 42:08.192 --> 42:11.278 You must know. Edwina is innocent in all of this. She had no idea.
- 42:11.362 --> 42:14.156 Coming to England, finding her a match. I only wished the best for her.
- 42:14.240 --> 42:16.700 -You cannot be angry at her. -I am not.
- 42:16.784 --> 42:19.662 It is clear she was as much in the dark as I was about your schemes.
- 42:19.745 --> 42:21.872 -They were not schemes. -I take it there'll be no dowry.
- 42:21.956 --> 42:23.999 Now that the Sheffields have withdrawn their support.
- 42:24.083 --> 42:25.251 You care about a dowry?
- 42:25.334 --> 42:28.671 It is because of what you just did that the Sheffields withdrew it.
- 42:29.755 --> 42:31.131 It is regrettable, to be sure.
- 42:31.215 --> 42:33.801 But clearly, both Miss Edwina and I have been misled,
- 42:33.884 --> 42:35.970 and it is best to call off this doomed engagement
- 42:36.053 --> 42:37.972 before it is the cause of any more strife.
- 42:38.556 --> 42:40.432 Of course, I'd never besmirch her reputation.
- 42:40.516 --> 42:42.518 My mother and Lady Danbury will make a plan--
- 42:42.601 --> 42:45.646 There shall be no plan. I do not understand.
- 42:45.729 --> 42:47.940 Why are you suggesting this?
- 42:48.023 --> 42:50.526 All along, you have been set on marrying my sister,
- 42:50.609 --> 42:52.861 despite my every objection, might I add,
- 42:52.945 --> 42:55.030 and now you intend to cast her aside.
- 42:55.698 --> 42:56.657 Why?
- 42:56.740 --> 42:59.410 And do not talk to me of dowries, sir,
- 42:59.493 --> 43:01.579 for we both know you have no need of it.
- 43:01.662 --> 43:03.247 So, tell me, what has <i>she</i> done?
- 43:03.330 --> 43:06.709 She has done nothing. It is you. You have made this match impossible.
- 43:06.792 --> 43:09.628 -But I am leaving for India. -And it is not far enough!
- 43:12.131 --> 43:14.717 Do you think that there is a corner of this Earth
- 43:14.800 --> 43:17.011 that you could travel to far away enough
- 43:17.094 --> 43:18.596 to free me from this torment?
- 43:19.388 --> 43:20.723 I am a gentleman.
- 43:21.724 --> 43:25.102 My father raised me to act with honor, but that honor is hanging by a thread
- 43:25.185 --> 43:27.021 that grows more precarious with every moment
- 43:27.104 --> 43:28.731 I spend in your presence.
- 43:30.649 --> 43:32.860 You are the bane of my existence.
- 43:38.407 --> 43:40.868 And the object of all my desires.
- 43:42.828 --> 43:45.831 Night and day, I dream of you.
- 43:46.874 --> 43:48.459 And what I…
- 43:50.336 --> 43:53.672 Do you even know all the ways a lady can be seduced?
- 43:55.966 --> 43:57.843 The things I could teach you.
- 44:00.346 --> 44:03.932 I did not ask for this.
- 44:05.017 --> 44:07.728 To be plagued by these feelings.
- 44:09.188 --> 44:11.023 Hiding from my sister.
- 44:12.441 --> 44:15.653 Being driven to distraction every time you enter the room.
- 44:15.736 --> 44:17.279 Then you agree.
- 44:18.697 --> 44:20.240 It is insupportable.
- 44:21.450 --> 44:22.743 Impossible.
- 44:37.466 --> 44:41.637 If I wed your sister, it will bind me and you together for eternity,
- 44:41.720 --> 44:44.848 and I will spend every day of my marriage
- 44:45.474 --> 44:47.267 wanting you,
- 44:47.351 --> 44:49.061 dreaming of you,
- 44:49.937 --> 44:52.981 dreading the day when my last thread of honor finally snaps.
- 44:54.358 --> 44:57.027 Is that the future that you want for us?
- 44:57.111 --> 44:58.278 For your sister?
- 45:04.952 --> 45:05.994 I must go.
- 45:29.309 --> 45:31.562 Must we sit around like statues?
- 45:31.645 --> 45:35.733 I wish to be at a ball, showing off my new fiancé.
- 45:36.775 --> 45:37.693 Varley?
- 45:39.027 --> 45:40.654 Are you certain we've not received
- 45:40.738 --> 45:43.824 any invitations you may have overlooked for the evening?
- 45:43.907 --> 45:46.326 No, ma'am. There's been nothing.
- 45:46.410 --> 45:49.872 Perhaps the circumstances of Prudence's engagement has us on the outs yet again.
- 45:49.955 --> 45:51.206 So this is my fault?
- 45:51.290 --> 45:52.458 I did not say that.
- 45:52.541 --> 45:55.794 It's not as if you arranged to meet Cousin Jack in that orangery, did you?
- 45:55.878 --> 45:59.590 We should merely be happy we still have a cook and a lady's maid each, yes, Mama?
- 46:10.434 --> 46:13.520 Not a single invitation since arriving back from the country.
- 46:13.604 --> 46:15.439 I shall alert the postal clerk.
- 46:16.023 --> 46:17.065 This is no joke.
- 46:17.149 --> 46:20.444 We are meant to be a distinguished family.
- 46:20.527 --> 46:24.198 But for years, I have suffered the indignities of the ton's disdain,
- 46:24.281 --> 46:25.657 for one reason or another.
- 46:25.741 --> 46:28.076 They liked us well enough when they thought you a plum catch,
- 46:28.160 --> 46:31.079 but now that you are spoken for, ah, we are outcasts again.
- 46:31.163 --> 46:33.832 All the more reason to end this sham of an engagement.
- 46:33.916 --> 46:35.667 It is not an option.
- 46:40.088 --> 46:41.048 Lord Cowper.
- 46:41.965 --> 46:43.509 What business did he have with you?
- 46:43.592 --> 46:46.136 He wishes to invest in the mines. Several of them do.
- 46:46.220 --> 46:48.514 Bored gentlemen with too much time and money on their hands.
- 46:48.597 --> 46:50.516 -Take it. -The mines are worthless.
- 46:50.599 --> 46:52.059 There are no rubies to be found.
- 46:52.142 --> 46:54.853 How are they to know the difference? Board a ship to the Americas?
- 46:58.649 --> 46:59.817 You are serious.
- 46:59.900 --> 47:03.320 The future of this family hangs in the balance, my lord.
- 47:03.403 --> 47:05.781 I've never been more serious in my life.
- 47:05.864 --> 47:09.701 Get them to invest. Take every pound that they offer.
- 47:09.785 --> 47:11.995 Our fortunes will be restored.
- 47:12.079 --> 47:13.956 Prudence shall have a fine wedding,
- 47:14.039 --> 47:17.251 and I shall never have to suffer the disdain of the ton again.
- 47:33.851 --> 47:35.394 -Edwina?
- 47:49.491 --> 47:51.660 Ever since the viscount has been courting me,
- 47:51.743 --> 47:53.954 I have sensed you were not being entirely truthful.
- 47:55.038 --> 47:56.623 And now I know I was right.
- 48:04.673 --> 48:07.676 This business with the Sheffields and their fortune,
- 48:07.759 --> 48:11.096 you did not trust me enough to tell me what was really going on.
- 48:11.179 --> 48:14.850 I am truly sorry, Bon, for keeping both you and Mama in the dark.
- 48:14.933 --> 48:16.226 After Appa died,
- 48:16.310 --> 48:19.438 I took it upon myself to manage our affairs.
- 48:19.521 --> 48:23.650 I wrote to the Sheffields, and after learning of their stipulations,
- 48:23.734 --> 48:26.945 I saw an answer to all our troubles.
- 48:27.487 --> 48:29.406 I thought I was doing the right thing
- 48:29.489 --> 48:31.533 by keeping you free from this burden.
- 48:31.617 --> 48:32.910 But you must know,
- 48:34.036 --> 48:36.204 it has weighed on me every day.
- 48:38.332 --> 48:41.710 I am not a little girl anymore, Kate.
- 48:42.502 --> 48:45.547 I am a grown woman now, ready to be a wife.
- 48:47.507 --> 48:48.467 Yes.
- 48:49.593 --> 48:50.886 Yes, I know.
- 48:56.516 --> 49:00.437 If Lord Bridgerton does not wish to end our engagement…
- 49:01.980 --> 49:04.816 then the Sheffield fortune would not matter, would it?
- 49:04.900 --> 49:06.985 Once I am married to the viscount,
- 49:07.069 --> 49:09.488 there will be ample funds to provide for all of us.
- 49:09.571 --> 49:11.657 He is as generous as he is wealthy.
- 49:12.282 --> 49:16.119 I am sure the viscount will provide for you and Mama too.
- 49:17.621 --> 49:18.497 He…
- 49:20.123 --> 49:21.083 He might.
- 49:21.833 --> 49:25.253 But-- But, Edwina, this should not be your burden.
- 49:25.337 --> 49:29.341 What burden would it be to marry the person I love?
- 49:30.926 --> 49:32.010 You love him?
- 49:32.719 --> 49:37.224 Watching how nobly he defended us at dinner tonight, how could I not?
- 49:39.142 --> 49:43.313 I want nothing more than to be his wife.
- 49:44.272 --> 49:45.899 His viscountess.
- 49:47.776 --> 49:49.486 But he will have to forgive us.
- 49:51.113 --> 49:52.572 Do you think he will?
- 49:53.949 --> 49:55.409 That I do not know.
- 50:14.344 --> 50:15.554 I shall not be long.
- 50:22.227 --> 50:24.563 Do not tell me you've traveled at this ungodly hour
- 50:24.646 --> 50:26.314 to offer more corrections of my writing?
- 50:26.398 --> 50:28.900 It was the only time I could leave without being seen.
- 50:28.984 --> 50:30.235 And, on the contrary,
- 50:30.318 --> 50:32.571 I've come to ask for your discernment.
- 50:32.654 --> 50:33.822 Is that so?
- 50:33.905 --> 50:35.282 Do not look so pleased.
- 50:35.365 --> 50:38.201 It is a rare occurrence that I doubt shall be repeated.
- 50:39.411 --> 50:42.414 I have questions about the writings in this pamphlet.
- 50:42.497 --> 50:45.375 Well, the ideas can tax a fragile mind.
- 50:45.459 --> 50:48.879 Or perhaps your means of communicating them leaves much to be desired.
- 50:48.962 --> 50:52.257 Or perhaps you have not seen enough of the world to make sense of them yet.
- 50:52.340 --> 50:53.800 Ah.
- 50:56.553 --> 50:57.804 <i>Duty.</i>
- 50:57.888 --> 51:01.308 <i>More than laws or faith,</i> <i>I have often thought it the bond</i>
- 51:01.391 --> 51:04.144 <i>that holds our fragile society together.</i>
- 51:14.988 --> 51:17.657 <i>Duty to rank and title.</i>
- 51:17.741 --> 51:20.494 <i>Fidelity to one's family name.</i>
- 51:20.577 --> 51:23.538 <i>It demands both utter obedience</i>
- 51:23.622 --> 51:26.124 <i>and total sacrifice.</i>
- 51:29.503 --> 51:31.088 <i>But what happens</i>
- 51:31.171 --> 51:32.839 <i>when such duty</i>
- 51:32.923 --> 51:35.884 <i>is in conflict</i> <i>with the heart's true desire?</i>
- 51:37.427 --> 51:39.638 <i>Why, then, there is the potential</i>
- 51:39.721 --> 51:42.390 <i>for a considerable scandal, indeed.</i>
- 51:44.434 --> 51:46.394 <i>The only question is,</i>
- 51:46.478 --> 51:50.315 <i>will the parties in question</i> <i>heed my warning?</i>
- 51:50.899 --> 51:52.776 <i>Or is it already too late</i>
- 51:52.859 --> 51:54.945 <i>to turn back to duty</i>
- 51:55.028 --> 51:57.531 <i>and away from desire?</i>
- 52:15.132 --> 52:15.966 Miss Sharma.
- 52:16.049 --> 52:18.426 I see you continue here with your morning rides.
- 52:19.678 --> 52:21.346 As do you, it seems.
- 52:25.058 --> 52:26.059 I couldn't sleep.
- 52:26.143 --> 52:27.394 Nor could I.
- 52:29.146 --> 52:30.689 Have you decided what you will do?
- 52:36.278 --> 52:38.864 Long have I wrestled with it, but I see no other option.
- 52:41.199 --> 52:44.119 I will talk with Miss Edwina today…
- 52:45.996 --> 52:47.497 and see my way to ending things.
- 52:47.581 --> 52:48.957 It is the only way to ensure
- 52:49.040 --> 52:51.459 that the two of us can be rid of this impossible situation.
- 52:52.043 --> 52:55.505 Once the engagement is over, our paths need never cross again.
- 52:58.466 --> 53:00.468 It will be as if we had never met.
- 53:03.597 --> 53:05.599 You cannot. You cannot do that.
- 53:05.682 --> 53:08.226 -Miss Sharma-- -You cannot break my sister's heart.
- 53:08.310 --> 53:11.855 She is all things good and true. A kinder soul you will never find.
- 53:11.938 --> 53:14.316 She has loved me as well as any sister could,
- 53:14.399 --> 53:16.276 and I could not live with myself
- 53:16.359 --> 53:18.778 if I robbed her of her happiness and the future she deserves.
- 53:19.362 --> 53:20.906 I-- I do not understand.
- 53:20.989 --> 53:23.366 You have been against this union from the start.
- 53:23.450 --> 53:27.537 I was wrong! I will not be the cause of you losing your honor
- 53:27.621 --> 53:29.915 any more than I can stand to see Edwina in pain.
- 53:30.498 --> 53:32.083 You once saw her as your perfect match.
- 53:32.167 --> 53:34.002 You will find your way to believing it again.
- 53:35.170 --> 53:36.046 Please.
- 53:36.546 --> 53:38.340 Please, Lord Bridgerton.
- 53:39.090 --> 53:39.925 Anthony.
- 53:40.508 --> 53:42.928 You must keep your word. You must marry my sister.
- 53:43.011 --> 53:44.888 You must marry her as soon as you can,
- 53:44.971 --> 53:47.807 because this feeling that plagues us so, it will pass.
- 53:47.891 --> 53:50.185 It will become tenable, it will become bearable,
- 53:50.268 --> 53:53.021 and soon enough, it will be as if we never felt it at all.
- 53:53.104 --> 53:55.941 Mere passion. It must because it has to.
- 54:09.537 --> 54:10.372 Very well.
- 54:17.003 --> 54:19.506 I shall see that the wedding shall take place as soon as possible.
