[DOOR CLICKS]

[GLASS CLINKS]

[BIRDS SING]

We're to gather shortly
on the beach

for champagne and games.

You seem to have done
little else since London

than drink champagne with
Montrose and his friends.

I have been celebrating
my victory!

Georgiana...

Have you given yourself time

to absorb the revelations
of the trial?

I've no desire
to dwell on the trial.

I wondered if they might have
made you even more determined

to find your mother?

I have accepted that the search
is hopeless.

From now on, I shall look
only to the future...

But what of you?

Your wedding is only two weeks
away.

Do I sense you are putting off
your return to Willingden?

I'd like to be certain you've
recovered from your ordeal.

As you see,
I am entirely recovered.

...and I couldn't leave
before your party tomorrow.

It is kind of Tom and Mary
to host it,

but I fear it might be
rather a staid occasion.

Arthur!

Charlotte and I are to meet
Harry and his friends

on the beach.

Say you'll come.

Oh.
lam not sure...

What has possessed
the pair of you?

Ever since the shooting party,

you have both been
out of sorts.

I have no idea what you mean!

GEORGIANA: Well.

Whatever is ailing you both,

I believe the best way
to deal with your problems

is to forget them.

Preferably with champagne!

[HORSE GRUNTS]

I can't persuade you
to saddle up and join me?

SAMUEL: God, no!

Thank you.

It's far too early in the day
for such exertions.

Had you not planned
to return to London

after the shooting party?

Yet five days have passed,
and here you are.

I don't wish to outstay
my welcome, brother,

but I am not ready to leave
just yet.

I am enjoying getting to know
Augusta and Leo...

And Lady de Clemente?

This might be the first
friendship

I have ever had with a woman.

And since neither of us

has the least romantic interest
in each other,

it's refreshingly
uncomplicated.

Perhaps you are growing up?

I wouldn't go that far.

Did I mention Miss Lambe
is hosting a party

to celebrate her
success in court?

We are both invited.

Do we know who else
will be in attendance?

I assume Miss Heywood
will be there,

if that is what you're asking?

I know your last conversation
with her

didn't go the way you'd hoped...

I must look to the future,
Samuel.

and her mother to tea.

And what of Miss Heywood?

Do you intend to pretend
she just doesn't exist?

Suppress your feelings?

I believe that's the motto
on our family crest.

[FOOTSTEPS AND HORSE CLOPS]

[SIGHS]

EDWARD: My dearAugusta...

...with every word you
write, you pierce my soul.

And with every passing day

the agony of separation
grows yet sharper.

I cannot let your uncle destroy
your happiness.

If there is a way for us to be
together, I will find it.

[FOOTSTEPS APPROACH]

And where have you been?

I like to spend time
in quiet contemplation

before I meet with Mr. Hankins.

His efforts are evidently
failing

if that debacle at
the shoot is any measure.

Setting your sights
on Miss Markham!

Or should I say her
five thousand a year?

I never should have asked
Mr Colbourne

it! could call on her.

The approach was misjudged.

But I can say
with hand on heart

that I've not been
near her since.

[FOOTSTEPS APPROACH]

FOOTMAN: My lady.

Thistles!

Who would send me... thistles?

I could hazard a guess.

[LADY DENHAM GIGGLES]

COLBOURNE: What is that?

Just a flower.

We don't grow orchids
in our greenhouse.

But I assume Lady Denham does?

It is possible.

I made it perfectly clear Sir
Edward was not to call on you.

But true to form, he's resorted
to evasion and deceit?

You left him no choice.

Tell me you have not been
alone with him?

Why is that any of your concern?

I am not your daughter.

You will have no further
contact with that man.

From now on, you are never

to leave the house
without a chaperone!

[DOOR SLAMS]

[FOOTSTEPS]

You've already made your
concerns abundantly clear,

-Mary...
-This is an alternative, Tom.

A proposal of my own.

Away to improve the Old Town,
rather than destroy it.

If you could just spare
a moment to read it...

No, I can't, I am afraid.

I am late for an important
meeting.

Why will you not listen to me?

You are a wonderful wife,
Mary, and a devoted mother.

But you are not a businessman.

There are things
you do not understand.

So why don't you leave
the speculating to me,

and I will leave the running
Of the house to you!

[FOOTSTEPS]

[CROWS CAW]

You seem to be in unusually good
spirits Of late, Beatrice.

I... believe I know the cause!

Do you, brother?

Why, the grace of God,
Of course, sister...

would you not say?

And I do not think
you are alone.

I detect an ever sharper sense
of purpose in you, Sir Edward!

Is it not said that God helps
those who help themselves,

Mr Hankins?

Indeed so.

[DISTANT CHATTER]

[CHATTER AND LAUGHTER]

They're his friends from Bath,
rather a fashionable crowd.

They seem highly taken
with Georgiana.

Or with her fortune.

MONTROSE: How about
a little sport?

Shall we see who can eat the
largest number of macarons

in less than a minute?

[CROWD ROARS IN AGREEMENT]

Perhaps you haven't heard,

but Georgiana's been
leading a sugar boycott...

Oh...

I will put two pounds on Arthur.

Haha!

I think I will decline,
thank you.

[CROWD LAUGHS]

[LAUGHTER AND CHATTER]

They are not afraid
to draw attention to themselves.

It is only a bit of fun,
Charlotte!

You need more champagne!

Arthur... I must ask...

have you been avoiding me
since the shooting party?

I thought you were avoiding me.

[BOTH SIGH AND LAUGH IN RELIEF]

You seem quite preoccupied
with your friends.

They are just a... distraction.

I would far sooner have
your company than theirs.

LADY MONTROSE: There you are,
Harry!

We have barely seen you these
past few days.

LYDIA: Not since the Bath set
arrived!

LADY MONTROSE: Or could it be
you have been spending

all your time
in Miss Lambe's company?

You two are becoming
quite inseparable!

LYDIA: Miss Heywood.

I trust you are well?

Very well, thank you,
Lady Lydia.

We are much looking forward
to your party, Miss Lambe.

Can I assume the brothers
Colbourne will be there?

I have invited them both.

Oh!

LYDIA: I must thank you for your
advice, Miss Heywood.

Once I kept the conversation
to dogs and horses,

I found Mr Colbourne to be
pleasing company indeed.

I am glad.

LADY MONTROSE: And the feeling
was plainly mutual,

since we have received
an invitation

to Heyrick Park tomorrow.

Apparently no one has caught his
eye since the death of his wife.

-Not until now, that is...
-Mother.

LADY MONTROSE: You cannot blame
me for being excited.

There is every chance

I may soon see
both my children settled!

SAMUEL: I fear the more
draconian my brother is,

the more appealing
Sir Edward will seem.

Forbidden fruit is
always the most tempting.

And when you are young,

it is only natural
that you would mutiny

against your parents.

I can't believe you
were ever wayward, my lady?

LADY SUSAN: Oh, I was
wildly ungovernable!

I used to steal
my father's carriage

and drive it at
death-defying speed.

I have never known
a thrill like it...

I was quite incorrigible myself.

Some may argue I still am.

I find excitement these days
in more tranquil activities,

like matchmaking...

Although I fear we may have to
admit defeat

now my brother has declared
his intention

to court Lady Lydia.

And Miss Heywood is due to
return home to her betrothed.

I question what reason I have
to stay in Sanditon now.

Perhaps it's time I looked
for diversion elsewhere.

CHARLOTTE: I fear they are not
true friends.

They know how to enjoy
themselves.

Whereas you seem to have
forgotten...

It is Mr Colbourne, isn't it?

You know you can tell me
anything.

After the shooting party, he...

he found me out on a walk.

He told me
he was in love with me.

TO my eternal shame, we...
we kissed.

You need feel no shame.

I am to be married, Georgiana.

But if you Share his
feelings...?

I have made a commitment
to Ralph.

To my family.

I cannot break it.

You were right.

I have been putting off my
return to Willingden.

How can I face Ralph?

How can I tell him?

[SOFT MUSIC]

Ralph.

Charlotte, I read that
Miss Lambe's trial

is happily concluded.

So I have come
to bring you home!

SAMUEL: You will not vanquish me
Sir, and the fair

and so very tasty Lady
Blancmange will soon be mine!

[PANTOMIME EVIL LAUGH]

LEONORA: Not on your life,
you cur!

[BOTH SHRIEK AND GRUNT]

And...curtain.

[ALMOST INAUDIBLE CLAP]

We hoped that might
distract you.

[SAMUEL SIGHS]

Let's save Act Two for later,
shall we?

[FOOTSTEPS]

RALPH: ...your father's been
quite lost

with neither you or Alison
there for the harvest.

But there's much excitement
about our wedding.

Your mother's started decorating
the church.

I'd meant to come home
sooner, but...

I was concerned
for Georgiana.

But now you are ready to return?

There is a party tonight.

To celebrate her victory.

I'd like to be there.

For her.

One more night, Ralph.

Then we will leave,
I promise.

If that is what you want.

MARY: Even now, my lady,

there is a fever sweeping
through the Old Town.

There are children
who are dangerously sick.

If the state of their dwellings
breeds illness,

then why would they wish
to remain there?

We have a duty to help them, not
to force them from their homes!

Mrs Parker!

You have Mr Pryce's ear...

Mrs Parker!

As pleased as I am that you have
finally found your voice,

I would rather you didn't
use it against me,

or my business affairs.

And I venture that Mr Pryce
and your husband

would feel the same.

Ah! The very man...

Good morning, My Lady.
Mrs Parker.

Good morning.

Someone sent me
a bouquet ofthistles.

They put me in mind of you,
elegant but prickly!

You old fool.

Old - me?

But we are of an age.

Oh, poppycock. I am eight years
younger than you.

You didn't used to be.

Oh, be quiet!

[BOTH LAUGH]

Ma'am?

You sent for me, Miss Lambe?

I assume you read
the newspapers?

Yes.

So you will know...

how they continue to gossip
and speculate about me?

They will move on to
someone else soon enough.

Although - and I say this
without judgment -

if you don't wish
to be gossiped about,

you might keep a
rather lower profile...

You will tell them to desist
or face the consequences.

I am afraid the law has
little sway

when it comes to the press.

Here is today's post.

A letter from a man who claims
to be my third cousin.

One from a woman who is
supposedly my half sister.

I thought defeating Lockhart
would prove a deterrent.

I am sorry, Miss Lambe.

But as an unmarried woman,

you find yourself
in a vulnerable position.

Don't forget that Lockhart came
dangerously close to winning.

I asked you here to help me,
not tO give me cold comfort.

I will help you
in any way I can.

But I must be honest.

The only way
these claims will cease

is if you either give up
your fortune or find a husband.

ARTHUR: I was thinking on your
words at the shooting party.

You said that whilst most men
have a taste for pheasant,

your preference has always been
for grouse...

I was afraid
I had shocked you.

ARTHUR: You did.

But... it was the shock of
recognition.

You put into words something
that I never dared to admit,

not even to myself.

I like my life, Harry, as it is.

I would never wish to live
in fear and disgrace.

I worry for what my family
might think.

My brother, Mary...

They might not be as surprised
as you would expect.

And if I were to say to you

that I shared your...
taste for grouse.

How would I... would we...

Forgive me, this is such strange
and.... unfamiliar ground.

There is a friend...

he owns a small cottage
in Wales, on the River Wye.

It is quite beautiful there.

One can go weeks
without seeing another soul.

-I wonder if you might...
-I should like nothing more.

That is decided then.

So it seems.

I, Arthur Parker, like grouse.

[BOTH LAUGH]

As do I, Arthur.

One grouse in particular.

[BOTH LAUGH]

LEONORA: Take that, that,
that...

EDWARD: Miss Colbourne.

Or should I say
Colonel Colbourne?

My father says you are not
to come near our house.

Tell me, how would you like
a secret mission?

[SOFT CHATTER]

Come, my dear.

I think we need a little air.

GEORGIANA: I should not
have let it get to me.

LADY MONTROSE: NO one likes
to be the subject

of scandal and gossip.

I've had my share.

Although a title is a
shield against the worst of it;

One need only look at
Lady de Clemente,

who'd be a pariah but not for
the sole virtue of her status.

YOU must excuse me.

Lady Lydia and I
are due at Heyrick Park.

Courage, my dear!

I have a secret message for you.

AUGUSTA: I can't believe
you'd stoop

to using a child
as your messenger.

Forgive me, when you didn't
return my letter,

I was at a loss.

In fairness, she's a very
efficient little spy.

She tells me that your uncle
has you locked up?

He claims he is trying
to protect me from you.

I cannot blame him.

If I were in his position...

How can you defend him?

He doesn't know the truth -

that my intentions
are entirely honourable.

That if I could...

I would ask for your hand
this very minute.

What is to stop you?

He would never give
his blessing.

The only way that we could
ever be together

is if we were somehow...
to escape.

However much I yearn to be with
you, I could never be selfish.

Your happiness and your honour
are all that matter to me.

So, my dearest Augusta,

I fear I must bid you farewell.

Wait!

MARY: This fever is merciless.

Poor little Dora Filkins
is gravely ill.

I have asked Dr Fuchs
to do what he can,

but there's no doubt
their living conditions

have played a part.

That's why this proposal

could not be more
timely or more vital.

DO you think so?

My only thought...

Go on, my dear.

Young Tess has
such a hunger to learn.

It made me think...

might there also be a merit
in building a school?

What a wonderful idea.

We could offer an education
to all the local children,

girls and boys...

We , Charlotte?

God willing, you'll be busy
teaching our own children...

Of course.

I have arranged to call on
Mr Colbourne this afternoon

to discuss my plans.

I don't suppose - would you
accompany me, Charlotte?

You could tell him
about your school idea.

It would hardly be fair to
leave Ralph on his own...

MARY: Ralph could come with us!

I am sure Mr Colbourne
wouldn't mind.

I would love to see
Heyrick Park.

And to make a proper
acquaintance

of your former employer.

Honestly, Mary, your proposal
speaks for itself.

You have no need
Of our company.

I would be glad of it
all the same.

For moral support.

Then it's decided.

We shall all pay a visit to
Mr Colbourne this afternoon!

EDWARD: You do not know
what you ask.

I know fine well.

I am asking you to rescue me.

Where would we go?

Anywhere!

It's not as if anyone here
would miss me, besides Leo.

In all conscience, I cannot.

You...

You are the only person I love
in this world.

And, if it is not a presumption,

the only person who cares
a damn about me.

It is not a presumption at all.

Is it not remarkable to think
that we have found each other?

And yet, fate has dealt us the
cruellest of hands...

It is fate that has
brought us together.

But, it is my uncle
that keeps us apart.

You must return to the house.

Before he comes
looking for you...

When will I see you again?

Will you attend
Miss Lambe's party?

Yes.

But under his ever-watchful eye.

Even if we cannot speak
to each other,

it will be enough to see
your face one last time.

One last time?

How can I bear to be near you,

knowing we can never be
together?

I am resolved to leave Sanditon.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

[FOOTSTEPS AND HORSE GRUNTS]

LADY MONTROSE: It is so kind of
you to show us your stables,

Mr Colbourne.

Lydia has been quite beside
herself at the prospect.

LYDIA: Unusually for my mother,
that is not an overstatement.

COLBOURNE: This is my good
friend Hannibal.

I am afraid he isn't always
terribly polite

to people he doesn't know.

LYDIA: That's alright.

You have a fine gait, Hannibal -

but I think you pull a little to
the left, don't you?

Very perceptive.

I find holding one rein
braced against the saddle,

then releasing it immediately
sometimes does the trick.

I shall try that.

My Lydia can tame
the wildest of beasts.

LADY MONTROSE: You keep a fine
house here, Mr Colbourne.

Although as a widow myself,

I imagine it must get
rather lonely.

I am hardly alone, your grace.

I have Augusta,
Leonora.

And, as you have seen,
a stable full of horses.

As long as I had horses
and a pianoforte,

I believe I could renounce
human company for months on end.

I am inclined to agree.

LADY MONTROSE: You are clearly
Of a like mind!

LEONORA: A carriage just arrived

with Mrs Parker
and Miss Heywood in it!

[LEONORA PANTS]

And a man!

Would you excuse me?

What an unwelcome
interruption.

Especially as you were
doing so well.

LEONORA: Miss Heywood!

MARY: Mr Colbourne, thank you
for agreeing to meet with me.

I hope you don't mind
but I took the liberty

of asking Miss Heywood
tO join us?

Not at all.

And I believe
you've met Mr Starling?

Mr Colbourne.

A pleasure to see you again,
Sir.

You're the man that's
marrying Miss Heywood?

I am indeed that lucky fellow!

Ralph, this is
Miss Leonora Colbourne.

And you have met Miss Markham.

Will you join us for tea?

We have Lady Montrose
and Lady Lydia with us.

LEONORA: There is cake!

MARY: Oh, if this is not
a convenient time...

COLBOURNE: Not at all.
I insist.

[FOOTSTEPS]

MARY: I apologise again for
interrupting, your grace.

But I hear you came
with a proposal?

I am intrigued...

We are to discuss a scheme
for the Old Town.

One which seeks
to improve the conditions

for those who live there.

A proposal that
I fully support.

And Miss Heywood has also
suggested

founding a school
for the local children.

An admirable idea.

LADY MONTROSE: Of course
it is no surprise to find you

so preoccupied with education,
Miss Heywood,

since you were governess here,
were you not?

Briefly.

LEO: But then
she suddenly left...

and when she returned,
she was engaged to Mr Starling!

RALPH: Then I must apologise

for stealing her from you,
Miss Colbourne.

[LAUGHS]

LADY MONTROSE: When are you to
be married, Miss Heywood?

In a little over two weeks.

LYDIA: My congratulations
to you both.

RALPH: Thank you.

We are living for the day,
aren't we Charlotte?

LADY MONTROSE: I have high hopes
that my son and Miss Lambe

will not be too far behind you.

And you must be keen
for Miss Markham

to find a husband,
Mr Colbourne?

You don't want to wait until
she is Lydia's age...

Indeed.

As long as we can find
someone who is worthy.

Worthy in your eyes,
at least, Uncle!

Since what I think and feel
are clearly of no consequence.

[COLBOU RNE CLEARS THROAT]

Excuse me.

I think I shall take a turn
around the grounds.

[TEACUP CHINKS]

I'II join her.

Since our encounter
this morning,

I have not been
able to stop thinking.

A man needs laughter in his life

and I have laughed more
over this Ias few weeks

in your company,
than I have in years.

[LADY DEN HAM CHUCKLES]

There are so many pleasures in
life that need to be shared

and so I thought
I would ask you -

I hope you're not
proposing another ride

in that death trap of yours.

I was proposing marriage
you foolish woman!

Marriage?

I would get down on one knee

but it would take two footman
and a winch

to get me back up again.

So?

NO.

Now, now, take your time,
think about it -

No need.

I am Lady Denham.

I wish to keep that title.

And my fortune to boot.

No amount of laughter can
compensate for that, can it?

Oh, good heavens.

No, let's go and have some tea.

[GRAVELLY FOOTSTEPS]

AUGUSTA: We've been exchanging
letters.

And we've managed to meet
a handful of times.

But now my uncle has me barred
from leaving the house.

I am kept under lock and key.

I struggle to believe
he would have done so

without good reason...

Why should he determine
who I can and cannot love?

Were my parents alive,

they would only want
to see me happy...

Could you tell me
whO this gentleman is?

He is from a good family.

He has a poetic soul.

He is kinder than anyone knows.

And yet my uncle still does not
consider him good enough.

I am sure he is just
trying to secure your future.

A miserable future!

Trapped in an unhappy marriage,

instead of being with the man
I have fallen in love with.

If you and he are truly
meant to be together,

you will find a way.

[HORSE GRUNTS]

LADY SUSAN: What is this?

You said you were in need
Of diversion?

Yes, but this was not quite
what! had in mind.

I hoped it I brought a little
excitement to Sanditon,

you might be persuaded
to stay...

One race.

But we will keep
to a sensible speed.

I must consider my dignity.

[HORSE NEIGHS]

[GALLOPS]

Bouddica herself
was never SO fierce!

[LADY SUSAN LAUGHS]

[SAMUEL SHOUTS]

Yah!

[LAUGHS]

How dare you beat me?

That is most ungentlemanly.

Shall we call it a day?

Certainly not!

The winner is the best Of three!

MISS HANKINS: Dr Fuchs!

Willkommen zu hause!

How is this possible,
Fraulein?

In my brief absence,

you have become fluent
in my mother tongue.

I so delighted in your tales
from the capital, Doctor!

Especially your description
of the 'stethoscope!'

Can you really hear
every last heartbeat?

As loud as a drum, Fraulein!

MR HANKINS: Herr DOktor!

Back from the Metropolis, I see.

I came to enquire after
our shared patient.

I am pleased to say
that under my aegis,

Sir Edward appears
to have undergone

nothing less than
a Damascene conversion.

Indeed, I would be so bold
as to say

that he has flourished
in your absence!

Jawohl, Fraulein Hankins
has spoken of his progress

in her epistles...

Epistles?

It was just a few short notes.

You are too modest.

Your sister has
such an observant eye.

Such a fine turn of phrase!

I daresay she has
the makings of a novelist!

I see.

Well. Now you are returned,
I am sure there is no need

for this correspondence
to continue.

Come, Sister.

We must steel ourselves
for Miss Lambe's party.

[FOOTSTEPS]

We passed a pleasant afternoon
at Heyrick Park.

Ah, I am glad.

Mr Colbourne and your sister
seem well—matched indeed.

Much like you and Miss Lambe.

it is time to formalise
your relationship.

We have only been courting
for a matter of weeks.

That is long enough.

I saw you enjoying the company
of Mr Arthur Parker earlier.

Yes, He has become
a good friend.

We are planning a trip
to the Wye Valley...

I strongly suggest you cease
your association with Mr Parker.

Why would I...?

You know why.

I've always known you had
certain... leanings.

I hoped it mightjust be
a passing affliction.

Youthful folly.

But now I see it as
something rather more dangerous.

I have always been careful.

I will continue to be.

No, Harry.
This can't continue.

You are a Duke.

You have a duty.

To marry well.
To produce an heir.

Maintain the family name,
not drag it through the gutter.

Or, worse still...

to the gallows.

I am thinking only of what is
best for you, my darling boy.

Thank you Mother.

[PARTY MUSIC]

[FLAMES PUFF]

ROWLEIGH: Dear God,
what is this?

LADY DENHAM: It seems we have
arrived at the gates of hell.

Keep back, you ruffians.

I have no desire to be
immolated.

TOM: My Lady Denham,
Mr Pryce and Sir Edward.

You are most welcome!

I thought this was supposed
to be a civilised dinner!

So did we,
but Miss Lambe had other plans.

LADY DENHAM: Then you
should have overruled her.

MARY: It hardly seemed fair.

LADY DENHAM: What is the theme?
The depths of depravity...

MARY: No, my Lady.

The theme is that of a phoenix,
rising from the ashes.

[PARTY CHATTER AND MUSIC]

RALPH: Mr Colbourne.

I was just saying to Charlotte

how ill we fit
amongst such company.

I shall be glad to return to the
calm of Willingden tomorrow.

Is that a view you share,
Miss Heywood?

Of course.

Mr Colbourne! We Simply adored
our trip to Heyrick Park.

It was a pleasure to have
your company, your Grace.

Uncle, shall we take
a turn about the party?

Yes.

My lady has talked
about little else

than your magnificent stables.

Mr Colbourne...

MONTROSE: Arthur.

Arthur, there is something
we need to discuss.

Indeed there is!

Our trip!

I have already obtained
a copy of Mr Gilpin's

Observations on the River Wye
in anticipation!

TOM: My Lords,
Ladies and Gentlemen,

it is time to welcome our guest
of honour, Miss Georgiana Lambe.

[CROWD GAS PS]

[APPLAUSE]

[FIRE ROARS]

when you asked
me to rescue you?

Entirely.

Then I must tell you
I have a carriage waiting.

There are to be fireworks,
they'll provide a distraction.

To leave tonight?

I have nothing with me...

What else do we need
besides each other?

My dearest Augusta,
this is the only way.

Either we escape tonight
or we must say goodbye forever.

[MUSIC PLAYS]

[GEORGIANA LAUGHS]

I don't believe I've
ever seen you so happy, Arthur!

Oh, this is more than happiness.

Happiness is fleeting.

I am content.

I feel as if my future is alive
with possibilities.

I have also been
thinking on my future.

I have something to share
with you.

Perhaps it is time
I made my announcement.

Colbourne has just
congratulated me

on your vision
for the old town.

I tried to speak to you.

But instead you spoke to him!

Awoman can only be silenced
so long before she roars!

GEORGIANA: Ifl might beg your
indulgence for a moment...

[CROWD QUIETS, MUSIC STOPS]

[QUIET CHATTER]

Earlier this evening,
the Duke of Buckinghamshire

did me the honour of asking
for my hand in marriage.

And I happily accepted.

[CROWD COOS]

So this is now a party to
celebrate our engagement!

[APPLAUSE]

LADY DENHAM: That might be the
first wise decision

she's ever made.

ROWLEIGH: Then you agree

that getting married
is an act of wisdom?

She gains a title.

I would lose one.

But think what you would gain!

We could see out the years
in happy companionship.

Someone to laugh with!

Gripe with!

Dine with!

But you would rather remain
alone in that big house?

For the sake of a title?

[PARTY CHATTER]

[MUSIC PLAYS]

My congratulations to you both.

Arthur!

Come my dear, they're clamouring
to congratulate you.

Fraulein Hankins.

On such a happy occasion, would
you join me for the next dance?

I am afraid I must decline,
Doctor.

But thank you
for your kind offer.

[MELANCHOLY MUSIC]

Earlier you said

that if this gentleman and I
are truly meant to be together,

that we will find a way.

What if there is a way, but...

I find myself nervous
of what it might mean?

If you have a chance to be
with him, then seize it.

Or you will Spend
the rest of your life

trying to forget
what could have been...

Thank you.

[LADY MONTROSE LAUGHS]

[MUSIC PLAYS]

Mr Colbourne seems
perfectly amenable.

Yet in his presence you seem...

ill at ease.

Withdrawn.

It was the same at tea today.

I don't know what you mean.

You have publicly
betrayed me, Mary.

I am not sure I like the woman
you have become.

How unfortunate, I was growing
rather fond of her.

[LADY DEN HAM LAUGHS]

I haven't danced in years.

I suppose I've had no one
to dance with.

You're a wonderful dancer,
Louisa.

You always were.

[MUSIC CONTINUES]

It's inspiring, is it not?

To see them find happiness
so late in life?

It seems there is hope
for us all.

[MUSIC PLAYS]

I noticed you and Augusta
in urgent conference?

She is blessed to have the
benefit of your counsel.

She will miss it.

[MUSIC STOPS, APPLAUSE]

GEORGIANA: Ladies and Gentlemen,

if you will join me
on the promenade,

it is time for fireworks!

[APPLAUSE]

I will join you presently...

[CROWD CHATTER]

Might we declare a truce?

I know you have only ever done

what you thought was
best for me, Uncle.

There are some things we will
never agree on

but I am ready to
put that all behind me.

I am glad.

I think I will find
Uncle Samuel...

EDWARD: You are sure?

Once we leave,
there is no turning back.

I have never been surer.

MR HANKINS: Sir Edward?

Sir Edward?

I cannot leave without
begging you to reconsider?

How can you marry a man you
barely know, let alone love?

This is not about love.

It is about securing my fortune,
my position.

I will be a Duchess.

And what of your happiness?

What about yours?

Who are you to question me?

You're condemning yourself
to a loveless marriage,

when you are in love
with Mr Colbourne.

[DOOR CREAKS]

RALPH: I am sorry to interrupt.

I was afraid you might
miss the fireworks.

[FOOTSTEPS]

[BANG]

[CROWD CHEERS AND GASPS]

[BANGS]

Oh, thank you.

[FIREWORKS BANG]

Does your preposterous offer
still stand?

Of course.

Then, against my better
judgement, I accept.

Don't despair, Harry.

I have found my own secret ways
to defy her.

You will too.

[FIREWORKS EXPLODE]

Are you yet persuaded

that there might be reasons
to stay in Sanditon

besides Miss Heywood?

One or two, perhaps.

MR HANKINS: Mr Colbourne.

Where is your brother?

Is there a problem?

I fear so.

[FIREWORKS EXPLODE]

You know, just because
I am to be married, Arthur,

that doesn't mean I won't
still have time for you.

Why did it have to be him?

[FIREWORKS CONTINUE]

It's late, Ralph,
we cannot leave now.

At first light then.

All I want is to remove you
from this place.

CHARLOTTE: Why?

Because it's no good for you!

You are not yourself here!

Every time you visit, you return
in a state of abject misery.

It is not Sanditon

Then what is it?

What are you afraid to tell me,
Charlotte?

[DOOR BANGS]

COLBOURNE: Please tell me you
know where they've gone?

Who?

We believe Augusta has
eloped with Sir Edward Denham.

Edward Denham?

You're the only one she will
listen to, Miss Heywood.

Say you will help me find her?
