They're moving to the Americas. 393 00:29:18,990 --> 00:29:20,810 You would need to be on a ship in three days. 394 00:29:38,550 --> 00:29:42,310 Francesca, this is Mr Dunder from the House of Lords. 395 00:29:42,770 --> 00:29:43,649 Good day. 396 00:29:43,650 --> 00:29:44,650 Good day. 397 00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:48,940 My condolences for your loss and apologies for the timing of this visit, 398 00:29:48,940 --> 00:29:49,940 Kilmartin. 399 00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:51,440 It's procedure. 400 00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:52,640 Quite right. 401 00:29:52,660 --> 00:29:56,000 Despite the circumstances, it is of the utmost importance the lines of 402 00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:59,180 succession are followed through the letter. Your brother has been a 403 00:29:59,180 --> 00:30:00,320 help with the paperwork. 404 00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:05,500 I'll be speaking with the Stirling family next. But, of course, there is 405 00:30:05,500 --> 00:30:09,420 question I must ask you first. As a formality, really. I am with child. 406 00:30:11,900 --> 00:30:14,320 Sister, that is... 407 00:30:16,340 --> 00:30:17,340 Wonderful news. 408 00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:19,480 Indeed. 409 00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:24,080 Well, then, I shall alert the physician for an examination at once. 410 00:30:25,260 --> 00:30:27,480 Examination? Well, yes, we must have confirmation. 411 00:30:28,380 --> 00:30:30,720 Can you not simply take her word for it? 412 00:30:30,940 --> 00:30:33,000 Of course, Lady Kilmorton, your word is of great value. 413 00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:36,660 It is only that the crown has grown quite stringent. When it comes to 414 00:30:36,660 --> 00:30:39,860 succession, there is an estate and title at stake, not to mention a seat in 415 00:30:39,860 --> 00:30:40,860 Parliament. 416 00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:42,880 I do not wish to have an examination. 417 00:30:43,260 --> 00:30:47,200 My sister has been through a great loss, Mr Dundas. Any examination will have to 418 00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:48,700 wait. Believe me, I sympathise. 419 00:30:49,020 --> 00:30:52,720 But this is the way society demands things be done. I've had quite enough of 420 00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:56,760 demands of society and its utterly antiquated way of doing things. 421 00:30:57,460 --> 00:30:58,920 This is an honourable family. 422 00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:02,460 You have no idea of the sacrifices we have made to maintain that honour. 423 00:31:03,220 --> 00:31:06,760 I'll not stand here and let you pressure my sister after the nightmare she's 424 00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:07,760 been through. 425 00:31:09,900 --> 00:31:14,240 I assure you, Lady Kilmartin, it will be swift and dignified. 426 00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:18,180 And then we can all take comfort in knowing for certain. 427 00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:25,040 Forgive me, I heard a noise. I did not mean to startle you. 428 00:32:26,900 --> 00:32:32,120 I have been tasked with organising John's affairs and, er... I've misplaced 429 00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:33,780 document. You need not explain. 430 00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:36,360 Please, I will do it. 431 00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:40,600 It's been a hell of a week. 432 00:32:42,140 --> 00:32:43,140 I know. 433 00:32:45,380 --> 00:32:47,740 Every time I see you, I am conscious that it may be the last. 434 00:32:49,460 --> 00:32:51,260 And I hated how we said goodbye at the funeral. 435 00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:48,240 Thank you. 436 00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:10,260 Have you finished your tea? 437 00:34:11,380 --> 00:34:14,500 Yes. Shall I take you to your bed chamber? 438 00:34:15,739 --> 00:34:17,280 Would you like another cup of tea? 439 00:34:17,820 --> 00:34:19,760 No, I should like to sleep in here. 440 00:34:20,020 --> 00:34:24,500 In the drawing room, Francesca. Are you avoiding sleeping in your room? 441 00:34:29,580 --> 00:34:30,820 God, don't blame me. 442 00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:38,000 I could not bear to be at Aubrey Hall for months. 443 00:34:39,179 --> 00:34:42,179 But being there and facing it and... 444 00:34:42,540 --> 00:34:45,920 I'm feeling it. Oh, stop it. Will you please stop it? I am so sorry, my dear. 445 00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:48,920 am only trying to... You are trying to tell me that you understand. 446 00:34:53,780 --> 00:34:55,980 I can see it in your face even when you say nothing. 447 00:34:56,540 --> 00:34:58,840 That we are the same now. 448 00:34:59,220 --> 00:35:02,540 Because we have both lost our husbands. We are not the same. 449 00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:06,760 You have eight children. 450 00:35:08,220 --> 00:35:12,000 Eight pieces of your husband. Remember him by eight. 451 00:35:12,490 --> 00:35:15,930 Eight times you did your wifely duty and gave father the gift of children. And 452 00:35:15,930 --> 00:35:17,250 what did I give John? Nothing. 453 00:35:17,490 --> 00:35:19,150 And I only have myself to blame. 454 00:35:19,470 --> 00:35:21,350 Francesca, none of this is your fault. Oh, it is. 455 00:35:22,110 --> 00:35:23,350 It is my fault. 456 00:35:24,330 --> 00:35:25,430 I cursed it. 457 00:35:26,550 --> 00:35:30,690 John wanted to have a child, and it was my duty to give that to him, to continue 458 00:35:30,690 --> 00:35:35,210 the Kilmartin line, and I failed him. I gave him nothing. I have nothing. I have 459 00:35:35,210 --> 00:35:36,109 nothing. It's all right. 460 00:35:36,110 --> 00:35:37,110 It's all right. 461 00:35:57,100 --> 00:35:59,160 Can I bring you some tea, my lady? 462 00:36:01,300 --> 00:36:08,220 Sometimes I sit here and just stare at this 463 00:36:08,220 --> 00:36:09,220 portrait. 464 00:36:09,900 --> 00:36:15,280 We were supposed to be in this together, Edmund and I, through every trial. 465 00:36:16,060 --> 00:36:21,880 And children need to look to me for answers, and I... I do not have all the 466 00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:22,880 answers. 467 00:36:23,740 --> 00:36:25,240 He was supposed to be here. 468 00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:35,900 If I may, Mum, children do not need you to have all the answers. 469 00:36:37,120 --> 00:36:38,580 Or even half the answers. 470 00:36:41,770 --> 00:36:42,770 need you to love them. 471 00:37:13,710 --> 00:37:15,630 Mrs. Wilson told me you were still here. 472 00:37:16,570 --> 00:37:20,490 Mother, I was just about to take my leave. 473 00:37:23,610 --> 00:37:24,750 Shall I pour you a drink? 474 00:37:25,230 --> 00:37:26,230 A strong one, perhaps. 475 00:37:47,660 --> 00:37:48,780 I owe you an apology. 476 00:37:49,020 --> 00:37:51,940 You know, I have been thinking about your father quite a lot. 477 00:37:52,780 --> 00:37:53,780 Of course. 478 00:37:53,900 --> 00:37:58,080 That you were also very unlucky to lose him when you did. You were so young. 479 00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:04,860 But for me, in many ways, I... I was lucky. 480 00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:10,140 I had a great love for a very long time. 481 00:38:13,460 --> 00:38:14,940 Some people never get that. 482 00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:27,820 After everything that has transpired, I have found myself reflecting quite a lot 483 00:38:27,820 --> 00:38:34,180 about love, about time not always being on our side. 484 00:38:35,080 --> 00:38:38,560 I did not realise how strongly you felt about Sophie. 485 00:38:39,060 --> 00:38:43,140 I assumed it was a flirtation, a dalliance. I never imagined it. I should 486 00:38:43,140 --> 00:38:44,560 have allowed it to go that far. 487 00:38:44,820 --> 00:38:49,580 Starting a life with someone from another class is no easy feat. You would 488 00:38:49,580 --> 00:38:50,880 to move to the country. Yeah. 489 00:38:51,340 --> 00:38:53,240 We had to discuss such plans. 490 00:38:54,520 --> 00:38:57,360 I would have gone back and forth. No, no, there would be no going back and 491 00:38:57,360 --> 00:39:02,500 forth. You would be ostracised by society, both of you. You would have to 492 00:39:02,500 --> 00:39:03,500 there permanently. 493 00:39:04,620 --> 00:39:08,800 I imagine that would be a rather startling transition for someone who has 494 00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:11,320 a life as well -liked and privileged as you. 495 00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:18,960 It is important that you understand, because there is one crucial sacrifice 496 00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:20,460 you will have to make. 497 00:39:22,570 --> 00:39:23,570 Your family. 498 00:39:24,330 --> 00:39:28,390 And that is not to say that we shall not speak, but it will mostly be confined 499 00:39:28,390 --> 00:39:29,390 to letters. 500 00:39:29,970 --> 00:39:32,610 We will not be able to visit as often as we might like. 501 00:39:33,610 --> 00:39:38,590 It could impact your sister's prospects for marriage if we are believed to 502 00:39:38,590 --> 00:39:39,970 nurture a close relationship. 503 00:39:40,370 --> 00:39:45,570 So you will miss birthdays and weddings and... Stop it, please. 504 00:39:45,910 --> 00:39:47,290 There is truly no need for this. 505 00:39:48,810 --> 00:39:50,570 Sophie does not want to be with me. 506 00:39:50,950 --> 00:39:52,050 Oh, I... 507 00:39:52,540 --> 00:39:55,380 Very much, Dad, that is the case if you ask her to marry. 508 00:39:57,620 --> 00:39:59,220 How strong did I pour that drink? 509 00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:03,120 What you said was correct. 510 00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:07,800 All I have ever wanted for my children was to find love. So if you have found 511 00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:11,060 it, you deserve to go after it before it is too late. 512 00:40:12,620 --> 00:40:17,180 If you marry Sophie, it will never change how much I love you, Benedict. 513 00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:28,900 And with that said, I know my son. I know that at times you can be... 514 00:40:28,900 --> 00:40:31,940 God, how is it? 515 00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:33,900 Non -committal. 516 00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:39,640 You must have me mistaken for one of your other children. 517 00:40:52,040 --> 00:40:55,600 Whatever you choose, you must live with it forever. 518 00:40:57,840 --> 00:40:58,840 We all will. 519 00:41:33,640 --> 00:41:36,740 We shall find you a dress that cannot be ignored. 520 00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:39,440 Lord Stotter will have no choice but to propose. 521 00:41:43,040 --> 00:41:45,180 I did not realise I was a jester. 522 00:41:46,760 --> 00:41:47,760 Apologies, Mama. 523 00:41:47,860 --> 00:41:52,820 It is only the thought of a mere dress so bewitching that a gentleman loses his 524 00:41:52,820 --> 00:41:53,578 free will. 525 00:41:53,580 --> 00:41:55,560 Must be quite the magical dress indeed. 526 00:41:55,880 --> 00:42:00,840 It will be when I wear it. I look forward to seeing it. In fact, I think 527 00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:02,240 drives you to stay behind today. 528 00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:06,740 Your sister and I will have a lengthy appointment at the Modiste, and then we 529 00:42:06,740 --> 00:42:10,480 may speak to the magistrate afterwards to see if he has heard any word of 530 00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:12,560 or my shoe clips being pawned. 531 00:42:13,440 --> 00:42:16,700 I am certain you will enjoy some time here. 532 00:42:17,780 --> 00:42:18,780 Understood. 533 00:42:33,070 --> 00:42:35,970 Well, I should be leaving now to check on the household orders. 534 00:42:36,670 --> 00:42:39,310 Shall I get you anything while I am out? 535 00:42:39,650 --> 00:42:41,590 No. Thank you, Varley. 536 00:42:42,250 --> 00:42:44,450 I should like to take the afternoon to read. 537 00:42:45,110 --> 00:42:47,090 In private. 538 00:43:23,460 --> 00:43:28,740 Miss Posey, shall I have some tea prepared for you? 539 00:43:41,120 --> 00:43:43,220 Posey, what are you doing here? Sophie. 540 00:43:47,420 --> 00:43:49,580 I escaped out the drawing room window. 541 00:43:50,170 --> 00:43:53,370 I did not want to risk the servant's seeing. Then when I arrived, I told that 542 00:43:53,370 --> 00:43:56,590 handsome footman that I misplaced my glove when we came for tea, and as he 543 00:43:56,590 --> 00:43:59,730 to look, I ran up here. I assumed your room would be up in the attic, like most 544 00:43:59,730 --> 00:44:02,910 ladies' maids, though I had to check in three different rooms before I found 545 00:44:02,910 --> 00:44:04,950 yours, and thank goodness no one else was up here. 546 00:44:05,370 --> 00:44:10,870 I do not believe I've ever felt so exhilarated in my... I am rambling, and 547 00:44:10,870 --> 00:44:11,870 not have time. 548 00:44:12,270 --> 00:44:15,870 I came to warn you that we have moved in next door and my mama is intent on 549 00:44:15,870 --> 00:44:16,629 finding you. 550 00:44:16,630 --> 00:44:19,930 She does not know you live here now, as I have covered for you, but she means to 551 00:44:19,930 --> 00:44:21,510 have you arrested for the shoe clips. 552 00:44:24,090 --> 00:44:30,130 And she will surely find me if I stay in Mayfair, even if I leave Bridgerton 553 00:44:30,130 --> 00:44:31,130 House. 554 00:44:31,950 --> 00:44:34,630 I'm so sorry, Sophie.
