00:00You
00:30Dearest gentle reader, we have been apart for far too long.
00:49At last, London's fashionable set has made its return, and so too has this author.
01:00It's good to be home.
01:03It certainly is.
01:04As the season begins, the question on everyone's mind is, of course, which newly-minted debutante will shine the brightest?
01:15The crop this year appears to be rather dazzling. There is the exquisite Miss Malhotra, said to be quite a catch.
01:24Miss Stowell is thought to be a most accomplished young lady.
01:30The mild-mannered Miss Hartigan will certainly appeal to genteel suitors.
01:37Miss Kenworthy is a welcome entry, brimming with confidence and charisma.
01:43And then there is Miss Barrigan, who certainly stands out in a crowd.
01:48She wrote my name!
01:50Seems as though your businesses are thriving.
01:54As is yours.
02:01And let us not forget, should we all need a little excitement, there is another Bridgerton making her debut this year.
02:11I cannot hear anything.
02:12Probably because she knows we are out here eavesdropping. I'm sure that she is well enough.
02:16As you were last year.
02:17This is not last year.
02:18Francesca is very quiet.
02:20Perhaps she's been stunned into silence by the beauty of that giant feather. I cannot wait to wear one.
02:26Perhaps she has swallowed that giant feather.
02:28We're not ready to go?
02:30Is there anything we can do to help?
02:32Would you mind asking whoever is playing downstairs to quiet them down so I might hear?
02:36I can try, but is that not in fact?
02:42Who else will be playing piano-forte in this house?
02:45Certainly not me. Francesca!
02:48There's no need to shout.
03:00I must say, all those piano lessons in Bath have reaped their reward. You've gotten rather good.
03:04How did you get down here? I've been outside your door all morning.
03:07I woke up early, got dressed, took breakfast in the garden, because it is just another day.
03:12Shall we go?
03:13Perhaps we do not need to worry so much.
03:22You do realize what tune she was playing just now, don't you? Mozart's funeral march.
03:26Oh, God.
03:28Debutants aside, there is also the question of which gentleman will reveal himself as the prize of the season.
03:37For our young ladies will certainly need someone dashing, at whom to set their caps.
03:46Whoever it is that makes the finest match this year, let us hope that their pairing brings some to donation.
03:54What are they all squawking about?
04:09They look like they've spotted a side of beef.
04:11Is that a problem?
04:28Colin?
04:29family?
04:43Apologies for my late arrival. I got stuck in presentation traffic. Do you not wish to greet me?
04:46For of the status quo, this author quickly grows weary.
05:16For of the status quo, this author quickly grows weary.
05:46You must tell us all about your adventures.
06:11Yes.
06:11When you returned last season, we'd heard all about your toil across the Mediterranean Sea.
06:14By the time we broke our first fast.
06:16Indeed.
06:17Under what foreign sun did you apparently get so sturdy?
06:21I was nowhere and everywhere.
06:23I shall not bore you with details.
06:25I must know.
06:26Who are you?
06:27What have you done with our brother?
06:28This time away was exactly what I needed.
06:30It has given me some sense of proportion.
06:33I should like some proportion.
06:42Miss Anne Hartigan, presented by her mother, the Right Honourable Lady Hartigan.
06:55Miss Dolores Stowell.
06:58Miss Clara Livingston.
07:09Miss Clara Livingston.
07:09Shall I have had your refreshment, Your Majesty?
07:22Perhaps a casket.
07:24The lack of interest here today shall usher me to an early grave at any moment.
07:30Miss Alexandra Moore, presented by her mother, the Right Honourable Lady Moore.
07:37Since when are you the one who simply glides in?
07:42Since when do you wear so many ruffles?
07:45It is the style of the season.
07:47Miss Natalie Green, presented by her mother, the Right Honourable Lady Green.
08:01It is your debut, Francesca.
08:03Are you not excited?
08:04I suppose entering society means I might meet someone.
08:09It would be pleasant to have my own house.
08:12You are only a week back from Bath and already you are eager to escape us.
08:15No, I simply could use some peace.
08:18Well, I'm afraid if peace is what you are after, then this may all be rather overwhelming.
08:23You know, even Daphne...
08:25Mama, do not trouble yourself.
08:27If I can be at ease in the chaos of our home, surely I shall find my way in the season.
08:30It is Francesca Bridgerton, presented by her mother, the Right Honourable Dowager, Lady Bridgerton.
08:38It is Francesca Bridgerton.
08:58Bridgerton girl, your majesty.
09:00You have had good luck with Bridgerton's.
09:08Miss Winifred Baraghan, presented by her mother, the Right Honourable Baroness Baraghan.
09:32Miss Winifred Baraghan, presented by her mother, the Right Honourable Baroness Baraghan.
09:36Unquestionably, our wedding was much more beautiful than yours.
09:51I thought our wedding was rather fine.
09:53Yes, I do say it is easier to impress older brides.
09:56If it were to please my bride, I would wed you a second time.
10:00A third.
10:00As many as it takes to make you happy.
10:03And spend all of our dear departed Aunt Petunia's money in the process, Mr. Dankworth.
10:07Thank goodness Aunt Petunia died.
10:09Just in time for our honeymoon.
10:11I rather liked Aunt Petunia.
10:12Of course you did.
10:14She was a tiresome spinster who always had her nose in a book.
10:17She was not tiresome.
10:18She just did not care for other of you.
10:20Enough.
10:21Today we return to society in good standing.
10:23Our finances in order.
10:25And without any man telling us what to do.
10:28Let us enjoy this day.
10:29If I may speak my mind, Mum.
10:41You always do, Farley.
10:43The Aunt Petunia story.
10:45No offence to the dead.
10:47But will anyone really believe that a spinster who never owned so much as a donkey cart would have a fortune to leave to you?
10:54For heaven's sake, no one in London knows how she lived.
10:58For all they know, she could have been hiding jars of corn under her floors.
11:02The truth has a way of rearing its ugly head.
11:05But pay no heed to me.
11:07Here you are.
11:09Take it you are finally done with daydreaming.
11:11I am.
11:12Shall we go?
11:13Where is she?
11:32Not to pick a diamond at the presentation is one thing.
11:35But not to appear at an event arranged in her honour is another thing altogether.
11:40Did all the girls this morning leave that much to be desired?
11:44They do seem rather preoccupied.
11:48Do you find yourself back in town for any particular reason?
11:52In search of something or someone?
11:55If you're asking if I came back to take a wife this season, I'm afraid the answer may disappoint.
11:59Although, if there is one thing I learned on my travels, it is forever to expect the unexpected.
12:04Poor lady.
12:04Who will be seated?
12:05Where is she coming from?
12:05Who will be seated?
12:06Where is she going from,
12:34Oh, look. If it isn't Penelope Featherington. Back in the dress, the colour...
12:42Where's the day?
12:43Eloise!
12:44There you are. I've been looking everywhere for you.
12:46And I for you? Shall we go and get some lemonade?
12:49It's a splendid idea. I'm parched with dust. It's not congenial to you back from the country.
12:57All that draught and emptiness.
12:59You do know others call that fresh air?
13:02Of course, befriending you there was a happy surprise. But ultimately it is London, where I'm most at home.
13:08And the season will be all the better now I have you by my side.
13:13Of course.
13:17I have been dreaming of my future husband since I was a child.
13:20He should be handsome, romantic, intelligent.
13:25Do not forget well-bred and tools.
13:27I have always pictured a man who writes poetry.
13:30But above all else, it should be someone who gives me butterflies, just by looking at him.
13:36And do you miss Francesca?
13:39Someone...kind, I suppose.
13:45Well, that is plain. You do not want someone unkind.
13:49One week returned from honeymoon and already my son has left you to fend for yourself.
14:03Our time away means Anthony's stack of paperwork has grown nearly to the ceiling.
14:09With any luck, you'll be caught up by the first rule.
14:11I first hope so. With two sisters out in society this season, work has only just begun.
14:17She seems rather composed, as she looks quite practical.
14:20She is, but practicality is quite the opposite of love.
14:24I am eager to see how she will fare.
14:27And Eloise?
14:30I do not understand this new friendship.
14:34Well, I spent enough time last season trying to assist her until my assistants nearly drove her outside society.
14:41So, I am not interfering. For now.
14:44You always see your children so clearly.
14:48I hope to be half the Viscountess you are.
14:51I am sure you will be even greater.
14:53And forgive me, I will move into a dava house as soon as I find one.
14:57It is quite a task having two girls in society at once.
15:01Do not worry.
15:03Back in India, mothers stay in the home long beyond their children's wedding.
15:07I am grateful to have you close.
15:09Lady Bridgerton.
15:12Yes.
15:13Oh dear.
15:14Are you enjoying the festivities today?
15:16Very much, although the Queen's absence is noted.
15:20Yes.
15:21I do think she finds herself somewhat reticent after her instincts went astray.
15:27Last season?
15:28But of course.
15:29It all worked out in the end.
15:31I would not worry.
15:32Perhaps you should tell her to the other mamas.
15:40My travels?
15:41I cannot begin to share my travel adventures with you.
15:44If I did, you would swim.
15:47We cannot have that.
15:49How is it possible that your dance cards for the season are not yet full of suitors?
15:54You are flowers in bloom.
15:57Each one of you.
15:58My stories from aboard are not suitable for such tender young ladies.
16:03Were I to tell you even the tiniest adventure, well, I would be forced to marry you.
16:09Such an array of beautiful ladies.
16:18Men will be fighting over you.
16:21I cannot compete.
16:23Please, please, please, please.
16:28Please, please, please.
16:31We woke up to find he had fled in the night.
16:34He did not even stop to take his gun cabinet.
16:36Or me?
16:38Well, let us hope that whoever lays claim to be the next Lord Featherington has more scruples.
16:43Or does common thievery run in the family?
16:47In fact, there shall be no more laying claim.
16:50As the last Lord Featherington wrote a document bequeathing the estate to my girls.
16:56Just as soon as one of them produces an heir.
16:59Did he?
17:01Shall we get some refreshments?
17:04Perhaps something strong?
17:13Penn. It is good to see you.
17:16Is it?
17:17Truly. It has felt like I have been absent years instead of months.
17:21Much has certainly changed in that time.
17:23A good deal, I know. But it was all the rage in Paris.
17:27You look distinguished, but then again you always have.
17:30Well, when all is said and done, it is merely clothing.
17:33Whereas elsewhere, things seem to have fundamentally changed.
17:37Am I mistaken? Or was Eloise walking arm in arm with Cressida Cowper?
17:41As you said, sometimes time moves rather quickly.
17:44Why didn't you tell us sooner that one of us would be the new Lady Featherington?
17:53Well, what purpose would there be in telling either of you to make a son?
17:56You're both married women. Must we tell a baker to bake?
18:00Well, technically one of our sons would be the new Lord Featherington.
18:03One of us would simply be the heir's Mama.
18:05One of us? You think you're part of this race? With what husband?
18:08Technically, when I'm the heir's Mama, the first necessity would be ridding the house with dusty books.
18:13After, of course, I'd change Mama's ghastly curtains.
18:17Do not worry, I will let you keep your books in the cloakroom.
18:21Which I imagine will be empty, as who will want to visit either of you?
18:25Neither of you will be inheriting anything if you do not go home and get to work.
18:29Well, can we not come over for a bit of pudding first? Your cook is so much better than ours.
18:33Well, that's your fault for marrying men without title. Go!
18:46Let us hope they take their time.
18:53I take comfort in knowing that you will always be here to take care of me.
19:03Would you like to try to take care of me?
19:05I am the middle man.
19:07Who is the 앞으로 of the heavenly people?
19:11Who would have the motivate?
19:12I will be!
19:13I am the only one of them here.
19:14While I can't make the courage of my father, I will be.
19:16I can't take care of you.
19:18I am the only one of my friends in the village,
19:19I have the only one of my friends.
19:21I will be.
19:22I am the one of them in the village,
19:23I am the one of them.
19:25I have the two of them.
19:28I am the one of them.
19:30I am the one of them.
19:31I am the one of them.
19:33I do not wish to see a citrus colour ever again.
19:39Sour colours indeed.
19:41But what has brought about this sudden desire for change?
19:45I cannot live at home any longer.
19:47It's been hard enough living under my mother's rules, but my sister's.
19:51To live at the whim of either the most cruel or the most simple person I know.
19:57I must take a husband before that happens.
20:00It is time.
20:02I see.
20:03And does my lady have a certain suitor in mind?
20:11I should like to be sensible.
20:14Someone kind.
20:15Who allows for my privacy for obvious reasons.
20:19Then a new look is just a thing.
20:24Perhaps something like what they are wearing in Paris.
20:27I love it, brother. Where's it from?
20:36Trader, in Marseille.
20:37My perfume is from Paris.
20:38Where are my handsome new playing cards from? Is this writing Spanish?
20:41You visited France and Spain.
20:44My chic music is Italian.
20:45Exactly how many cities did you visit in four months?
20:47I lost count in truth.
20:49No, not in here, outside, where our mother can't sit.
21:00Francesca, where's your sister?
21:03Eloise, time for the modiste.
21:06Will this family ever be on time?
21:09A gift for you, mother.
21:18It is lovely.
21:20Truly.
21:21Oh, my, we really are late.
21:27Francesca.
21:28Eloise?
21:36Eloise?
21:37Surely you are not eager to hasten to the modis?
21:40I have something for you.
21:41Ah, there it is.
21:43It is a book.
21:44A rare Bavarian text on the right...
21:45I'm in the middle of reading something.
21:47It is called Emma.
21:48The novel?
21:49You've never been one for silly romances.
21:52Perhaps my tastes have changed.
21:54The writings I read before of women making their way outside society,
21:58those were the romances.
21:59This book has humour and truth.
22:02The pains of friendship, it is altogether more probable.
22:05I take it your taste in friendship has changed as well?
22:09Cressida surprised me this summer.
22:11She showed me kindness in the country when no one else would.
22:13And what of Penelope?
22:16We've simply grown apart.
22:18Lady Whistledown nearly ruined me last season.
22:21I lost the battle and I have no appetite for the war,
22:23so I've joined the winning side.
22:25Not unlike you, I take it.
22:28Or is this truly the new you?
22:30Hmm.
22:31A man cannot tell his secrets.
22:33Hmm.
22:34Must be lonely.
22:35Could you please meet me in the carriage, right?
23:03I've been hoping we would meet.
23:16Did not seem so, when you were hiding away in the countryside this summer.
23:20I avoided society because I did not know if you'd want to see me.
23:24And perhaps because you were worried I might reveal your secret.
23:27I do appreciate you keeping it.
23:31Eloise, I am so sorry about everything.
23:33For what you did?
23:34Or because I discovered it was you who wrote such damning things?
23:37You may not understand what I did, but I was only trying to protect...
23:40No, I do not need your explanations.
23:42I have kept your secret exactly because I do not wish to keep revisiting the past.
23:47Now you have your life.
23:49And I have mine.
23:50Miss Cressida?
23:51Are you really friends with her?
23:54I wish you very well, Penelope.
24:02I am not one to complain about a mid-afternoon tipple.
24:06What's the occasion?
24:07I wanted to thank you for taking care of the estate while I was on honeymoon.
24:10I was quite surprised to see every tea crossed and I dotted.
24:13Well, I do not know whether to be moved or offended.
24:16Perhaps, Beau.
24:16In truth, I enjoyed having a purpose.
24:20Whereas now that you're back, I'm not certain what I'm supposed to do exactly.
24:24I'm quite certain Mother has a list of young ladies she could offer you.
24:26Brother, please take some of his attention.
24:29And you I invited here to congratulate on your many new admirers.
24:34I'm not certain that that should cheer me.
24:36Bridgertons, my apologies for the wait.
24:38Business is good.
24:40We're glad to see it.
24:40Will you join us for one?
24:41Pardon me.
24:43Wife business comes first.
24:46Mr. Dundas is here to see us, Will.
24:50Mr. Dundas, can I offer you a drink?
24:53No.
24:54No, thank you.
24:55I shall be quick.
24:57Now that I have you both, are you aware, Mrs. Wondrich, of your great aunt, Lady Kent?
25:03Kent, yes.
25:05We met once in my youth.
25:07Very cold, lady.
25:08She is colder now, I am afraid.
25:12Well, she's died.
25:13Well, she left us something?
25:18She has not left you something.
25:20She has left your son, Nicholas, everything.
25:23And while you have several cousins who are more closely related to her, none have male children.
25:29As such, Nicholas shall be the next Baron of Kent.
25:33Perhaps we might need drinks.
25:43Perhaps we might need drinks.
26:03I will be norteamerican, Mrs. Wondrich, of your great aunt.
26:28Ignore them.
26:40I cannot.
26:40Ask me.
26:41What's happening out there cannot be as important as what's happening down here.
26:48Making an air.
26:50You do know that what we are doing is not how one makes an air.
26:57Grab stars somewhere.
26:59This is my first week.
27:00There's five countess in my new home.
27:02Tonight, as Lady Dan brings ball, I must make a good impression.
27:27I should like to try something a little different tonight.
27:34I should like to try something a little different tonight.
27:41Let's go.
27:42Let's go.
27:43Let's go.
27:44Let's go.
27:45Let's go.
28:46As you know, the first ball is no small thing. I do not take it lightly.
28:59I wonder what Whistledown will write about next issue. The season is off to quite a dull start.
29:04I'm sure she will find something. We'll make something up.
29:08Pardon me, miss. You failed to collect your clothes.
29:11Yes, of course.
29:19I do not think that will be necessary.
29:21Everyone's staring at us.
29:29Jealousy, my love.
29:30At you and our mind.
29:32It is not us they stare at.
29:43She spends my fortune before I can claim it. That is her intention.
29:48If she was to wear such a melancholy colour, that's her prerogative.
29:59I told the Contessa that in my home, we did not.
30:02I am most of you, but she does not.
30:16I do not, I do not.
30:21Miss Featherington, pleasure to see you.
30:41What a striking gown you have on.
30:44You as well, my lord.
30:47Not the gown part, obviously the first part.
30:50It is a pleasure to see you all in your proper evening dress, which is not at all gown-like.
31:01You genuinely enjoy embroidery?
31:03Of course I do.
31:04There is simply so much one can do with it.
31:07For example?
31:08Since you have asked.
31:10The stem stitch, tried and true, the straight stitch, running stitch, chain stitch, a French
31:17knot if one is feeling bold.
31:18Oh yes, I like to read very much, perhaps too much.
31:24My mamas always tell me to put my books down, nor that there is anything wrong with reading.
31:29Of course, I'm not quite sure of her reasoning.
31:31Do you all like to read?
31:32The feather stitch, the fly stitch, oh, the detached chain stitch.
31:38Do you not have a favourite, Miss Eloise?
31:42The shift stitch.
31:46I'm not familiar with that one.
31:47It is the one that shifts this conversation perhaps to something besides embroidery.
31:53Oh.
31:54A jest.
31:55How clever.
31:56I just...
31:57Oh.
31:58Forgive me.
31:59Please.
32:00You were sailing aboard by now.
32:02I was going to say, perhaps we should take our leave, lest we remain too long and give
32:16Lady Whistledown something to write about.
32:23And that one, who is she?
32:35That, your majesty, is Miss Penelope Featherington.
32:39This is her third season out.
32:41But there are several impressive new contenders for your majesty's favour should you care to
32:45grace them with such.
32:46And why should I grace them with anything?
32:48Well, there is some anxiety amongst the mamas that you have not yet selected a diamond.
32:54A diamond is precious precisely because it is rare.
32:58I throw one diamond ball and anxious mamas expect a diamond every year.
33:03I throw a zebra ball once.
33:05Do they expect a new zebra each year?
33:07You are right.
33:09You have only named the diamond once.
33:12I believe it was Lady Whistledown who named the diamond the first year.
33:18How right she was about the duchess.
33:22Hmm.
33:25Miss Francesca, tell us, what are your hobbies?
33:29I play the pianoforte.
33:31That is magnificent.
33:34And your other interests?
33:36Pianoforte does take up a great deal of my time.
33:39Oh, I think what Lord Fife means to say is who are you besides your hobbies?
33:45Yes.
33:46What do you desire?
33:47What do you despise?
33:49What makes you tick?
33:51I think my brother needs me if you would excuse me one moment.
34:03Brother, I should like a moment alone.
34:06Of course.
34:08Oh dear, is Francesca quite well?
34:23She simply needed a moment, as do I.
34:26And I should like to use that moment to dance with my beautiful wife.
34:30Please, enjoy yourselves.
34:31And the parents.
34:32And the parents.
34:33And the parents.
34:35And the parents.
34:38Don't think so.
34:39Yes.
34:40Oh, dear.
34:44Penelope.
35:14You really ought to take to the floor again?
35:16Ought I?
35:18Once one finds oneself on the wall, it is difficult to come off it.
35:21No matter what one does.
35:23At least the wall is not asking what makes me tick.
35:27Did you not enjoy conversing with those gentlemen?
35:29I expected conversation.
35:31I did not expect to be inspected as if I were some rare insect writhing under a microscope.
35:38You do not much like attracting notice, do you?
35:41Not really. No.
35:43Perhaps that does make you rare.
35:45It seems as though every Bridgeton was born to attract notice.
35:49In one way or another.
35:53I am different from my siblings as well.
35:58It can be difficult, can it not?
36:06But they are wonderful. Each of them.
36:09I know. You are lucky for that.
36:15And you are lucky to have so much notice.
36:18Even if it is trying.
36:21For some of us, the notice is very slight.
36:24Miss Winchesca.
36:27Our dance.
36:32Of course, my lord.
36:36You really ought to take to the floor again.
36:39It is difficult to come off the wall once you are on it.
36:41It is difficult.
36:42It is difficult.
36:47Well.
36:48It is difficult to come off the floor again.
36:51New front.
36:53It is possible to have so long in your back.
36:55See.
36:57The palace is a beautiful house.
36:58We can lie.
36:59We can't walk the floor again.
37:00We can't wait until the floor again.
37:01It is almost impossible.
37:02We will wait until the floor again.
37:04The floor again.
37:06It is impossible to keep on my side.
37:07Are you well, Mrs. Featherington?
37:18Yes, forgive me. Cold headache.
37:20From the ice cream or from the very congenial-looking miss with the snare?
37:25Well, do not worry. I have been the recipient of an untold number of withering looks.
37:30Hers was mediocre at last.
37:33Oh, Lord Debling, is it not?
37:36And why do I have the feeling that you, in turn, know how to make one wither, if you so choose?
37:44Me?
37:47Well, I suppose...
37:50I do not.
37:54Excuse me, I...
37:57Oh, how mortifying! I'm so clumsy. My deepest apologies.
38:03Heavens. Accidents will happen. Miss Featherington, I shall find a maid to help you.
38:09It would be most appreciated.
38:11Miss Cowper.
38:12Miss Cowper.
38:14It is a pity you did not choose something sturdier.
38:17Perhaps if you had not bought such cheap fabric, you would not have ripped.
38:20Again, I'm so... I'm so sorry.
38:32There were perhaps some late nights.
38:37Pen, she did not look well, did she?
38:39The Featherington girl. Why concern yourself with her? I want to know what happened on these late nights.
38:43on these late nights.
38:44Whatever happened to you, I must say Bridgerton, you are much more fun this season.
38:48Do excuse me, just a moment.
39:07Ben.
39:08Colin.
39:10What are you doing out here?
39:11I'm just getting some fresh air.
39:14Why are you leaving so soon?
39:16Especially in such a charming dress.
39:18Do you not mock me, please?
39:20Mock you? I assure you I'm quite serious. The colour rather suits you.
39:25Goodnight, Mr Bridgerton.
39:27Do you not need a chaperone?
39:28Spinsters do not need chaperones.
39:30You are not a spinster.
39:31I am in my third year on the marriage mark with no prospects, a chauffeur, what would you call that?
39:37Something wrong, Ben.
39:39Between us, I mean.
39:40I wrote to you this summer, as I always do.
39:43And, well, you do not respond.
39:45Admittedly, very few did.
39:46But if you are going to make me say it out loud, I miss you.
39:51You miss me.
39:52You miss me, but you would never caught me, is that correct?
39:57Ben, I...
39:58I overheard you.
40:00And I was born last season.
40:02Telling everyone how you would never ever caught Penelope Featherington.
40:05Perhaps we should hook about this somewhere more private.
40:06Perhaps we should hook about this somewhere more private.
40:07Because I embarrass you.
40:08Of course you would never caught me.
40:09I am the laughing stock of the taunt even when I changed my entire wardrobe.
40:10It just never occurred to me that you of all people could be so cruel.
40:11I am the laughing stock of the taunt even when I changed my entire wardrobe.
40:16It just never occurred to me that you of all people could be so cruel.
40:46There is, um, a gentleman here to see you, ma'am.
41:07Lady Featherington, I am pleased to make your acquaintance.
41:12Good day, mister.
41:14Walter Dundas, the Squire.
41:17I work for the Crown, responsible for ensuring the lines of succession run smoothly within our great families.
41:23I see.
41:24And, uh, to what do we owe the visit?
41:27I have been made aware that your cousin Jack Featherington recently left town with your entire fortune.
41:32Yes, sir.
41:33My cousin the swindler.
41:35That man was a terrible liar.
41:38I have in my possession a document he signed granting the estate to one of your daughters
41:43once she produces a male heir.
41:46Ah, yes.
41:47That document.
41:48That document is valid.
41:50Even a broken clock is right twice a day.
41:52It is a rather unusual situation.
41:55Are any of your daughters with child?
41:57Oh, I do hope to receive the news any day now.
42:00I see.
42:03Currently the Crown is unaware of another living male heir.
42:07It would be quite a task transferring the estate to another family.
42:13A great deal of upheaval for the Featherington tenants and society and, frankly, me.
42:18But should I find that this rather convenient document is in fact forged before one of your girls has an heir,
42:25the upheaval may indeed be necessary.
42:28Well then, it is a good thing the document is not forged,
42:34and that my girls do so love their husbands.
42:37A very good thing indeed.
42:40I shall pay another visit to you very soon.
42:43Mmm.
42:46Such a beautiful home.
42:49Good day.
43:06Thankfully I do not have much competition this season.
43:09Aside from Francesca who stirred a good deal of interest, I suppose.
43:13But I do believe my handling of Penelope was a clear message.
43:16Would you agree?
43:17I believe the message was received by all with that particular trick.
43:20You disapprove?
43:22I thought we did not like Penelope.
43:24What you did was cruel and unnecessary.
43:29You often talk of how difficult it has been for you to find a husband.
43:34But do you not think it might be easier if you displayed a bit less...
43:39frankness?
43:43It has been difficult to find a husband.
43:47It has been more difficult still to find a friend.
43:51I have not had many since my debut.
43:54Not real ones.
43:56They did as a girl.
43:57But the season has a way of coming between young ladies.
44:02Pitting us against one another.
44:06I suppose I've fallen prey to it.
44:09Once.
44:10Or twice.
44:12Or thrice.
44:17But you are right.
44:19Society does not seek to forge affections amongst us.
44:22I...
44:24I thought I was the only one who noticed.
44:27I did try to befriend you in your first season out.
44:30But you rejected my suit.
44:32And if you do not blame me...
44:35I have not always been kind.
44:40But whatever Penelope did to lose your friendship...
44:44You are right.
44:46She is undeserving of my attention.
44:48And of yours.
44:50Let us think only of ourselves.
44:53We are far more interesting.
44:56I'm inclined to agree with you.
44:58I'm inclined to agree with you.
45:19When you are back.
45:23How are your meetings?
45:25Not moving as good as our bed.
45:28Shall we return to it?
45:34There is a matter I must discuss with you first.
45:40Your mother.
45:42I know.
45:44I know.
45:45There is nothing she can to delay her move.
45:47I will speak with her today.
45:49What if you did not?
45:51Your mother enjoys being Viscountess so much.
45:54While I have already spent years taking care of Edwina...
45:57And running the Sharma household.
45:59And I have never seen you happier than when you were away...
46:02From the duty of running this place.
46:06So why not put ourselves first for once?
46:09And extend the honeymoon?
46:11Are you quite sure?
46:14We have our lives to be Viscount and Viscountess.
46:23For now the only duty that interests me...
46:26Is making an out.
46:28Let your mother stay a little.
46:30I do not want to speak...
46:33To my mother a moment longer.
46:35Longer.
46:48My dear.
46:51Tell me.
46:53How was last night?
46:55Did you enjoy your first ball?
46:57It was...
46:59Satisfactory.
47:06My dear.
47:08Think of the balls as playing a duet.
47:12When you play with another person...
47:14There is a certain vulnerability...
47:17Which can be quite frightening.
47:20I would imagine.
47:22But it is worth it.
47:24Once you find that person with whom you...
47:26Make an unexpected harmony.
47:28I am not frightened of the balls, Mama.
47:30Or finding a match.
47:32What you and father and Daphne and Antony...
47:35Will have is enviable.
47:37But...
47:38It is also rare.
47:40And I am not certain I need to feel...
47:42Butterflies of...
47:44Unexpected harmony, per your metaphor.
47:46But you will at least be open...
47:48If love comes your way.
47:50Yes?
47:52Let us see what happens.
47:54Ma'am.
47:56The Viscountess is looking for you.
47:57You have a visitor, miss.
48:00I am sorry for intruding.
48:03It is alright.
48:07And I am very sorry for my callous comment here last year.
48:10It pains me to see you upset.
48:12And perhaps you should not have come.
48:14I am not the man I was last season.
48:16And I am most certainly not ashamed of you, Pen.
48:18The opposite is true, in fact.
48:19I seek you out at every social assembly...
48:21But I am not the man I was last season.
48:23And I am most certainly not ashamed of you, Pen.
48:24The opposite is true, in fact.
48:25I seek you out at every social assembly...
48:27Because I know you will lift my spirits...
48:28And make me see the world in ways I could not have imagined.
48:30You are clever.
48:32And warm.
48:34And...
48:36I am proud to call you my very good friend.
48:38It has been vexing.
48:40Watching you walk back into society with such ease...
48:43That every year I pray...
48:44I might finally feel that way amidst the marriage mutt...
48:46And that comfort never materializes.
48:49,
48:59But every year I pray I might finally feel that way amidst the marriage mart and that comfort never materializes
49:06Well, if a husband is what you see
49:10Let me help you help me how I was in 17 cities this summer and what I have learned
49:16Is that charm can be taught Colin?
49:20I cannot have you with me whispering into my ear in every ballroom. You will not need that
49:24We will have lessons and you will quickly master them. I'm certain
49:29There is nothing more I want and to earn back the favor of the one person who has always truly made me feel
49:38Appreciated
49:44What do you say you want me to shake your hand it is perhaps unusual, but are we not friends?
49:59I should see you soon
50:08I should see you soon
50:29I should see you soon
50:30I should see you soon
50:31I should see you soon
50:32Is that Whistledown?
50:33Is that Whistledown?
50:34Dearest gentle reader
50:36When the tide of change turns
50:38It can be sudden, fierce and deadly
50:42Especially for the unprepared
50:45It seems to this author that our bon ton is moving with the changing tide, to be sure
50:56Lord Kent
50:58Of course you are
51:00Welcome to your new home
51:02As the kingdom came to the Luigi
51:04Of course you are
51:05I should see you soon
51:06Who sophists
51:07While others are clinging firmly to that which they already know
51:12I should be seeing you soon
51:14I should be sure you are
51:15That's all
51:16I should be sure
51:17I should be sure
51:18None more so than our queen, who has still yet to choose a diamond.
51:24This author wonders if her hesitancy is a symptom of fortitude or fear.
51:31If it is the latter, pride in past achievements will not benefit her, as our debutantes are ready to play this season.
51:41Your serve, your majesty.
51:42It seems Lady Whistledown is playing games again.
51:50Ah. And are you going to play along, your majesty?
51:55I do love a game.
51:58Especially when I am so often the victor.
52:06Whistledown has come early.
52:08I am reading it. Are you mad?
52:10You of all people would be quite interested in today's issue, Penelope.
52:14Lady Whistledown has a good deal to say about you, precious Bridgertons.
52:18Colin, in fact.
52:20Whatever she has said about him, she is wrong.
52:23Dare I say, this author is ready to play as well.
52:28I do not fear change. I embrace it.
52:33And then there are some who take the embrace of change a step too far.
52:38Brother, afternoon.
52:39Brother, afternoon. Where were you?
52:43No, there. What are you reading?
52:45Nothing.
52:52Whistledown.
52:54You are mentioned.
52:56And then there are some who take the embrace of change a step too far.
53:06As with Mr. Colin Bridgerton, who seems to have embraced a new personality entirely.
53:13But one must wonder, is this new character the real him, or simply a ploy for attention?
53:20And does Mr. Bridgerton even know?
53:28How are you?
53:30I do not care what Lady Whistledown writes about me.
53:33But ruining Miss Thompson, I mean Lady Crane,
53:36and then nearly ruining you last season,
53:39I will never forgive her.
53:42Do you have any idea who she might be?
53:49I do not.
53:50But trust me,
53:51if I ever find out,
53:52I will make sure it is her life that is ruined.
53:55You are so wonderful.
