[CHUCKLES]

I haven't thought about that in ages.

[JAMIE] Oh.

What's made you think of that?

Well, I was thinking

I still had a wee bit of time yet

before you become too dangerous

for me to bed ya.

And what exactly do you think
I might do to you in bed?

Well, so far you've clawed me,

bitten me...

Stabbed me more than once.

- I have not stabbed you.
- [JAMIE] Aye, you have.

You stabbed me in the backside

with your nasty wee needles

and a dozen times more
with a rattlesnake's fang.

I was saving your bloody life.

I cannae say otherwise.

You're not gonna deny
you enjoyed it, though,

- are you?
- [SIGHS]

Rattlesnake fang... no.

But as for the hypodermic,

you deserved it.

Mm. Do no harm, is it?

[CLAIRE CHUCKLES, SIGHS]

If you're counting
what I've done to you in bed,

you can't count the shots.

- I was in bed.
- [CLAIRE] Well, I wasn't.

[JAMIE] Aye.

You took unfair advantage.

- Did I?
- Mm.

Well, how would you like it
if I were jealous?

[SIGHS] You were.

Of Laoghaire.

And I liked it fine.

[BOTH CHUCKLE]

Maybe you still are, hmm?

Ha. Aye, I thought so.

[RACHEL] I thought thee might

Thee was at William's bedside all night.

That's kind of you.

It seems he's overcome
the worst of his fever.

Good.

Then I should take my leave of you.

Oh?

I thought thee might stay

until William is well enough to travel.

There's somewhere I must be.

I canna afford

Thank you.

For helping my friend see reason.

I've been told my manner
can be too forward.

My auntie's a physician.

Well, thank you for the tea.

But I'll be on my way.

Is thee certain thee wouldn't like

to say goodbye to William?

He should be awake soon.

You may tell him goodbye for me.

[RACHEL] I will.

Oh.

He wanted to return this to you.

I'd like him to keep it.

And give him this, too,
when he's ready to leave.

He'll need to purchase a horse,
I expect.

Thee is most generous.
I'll make sure he receives it.

It was a pleasure

Goodbye, then.

[RACHEL] Hmm.

[HINGES SQUEAK]

Roger, where are
all the biscuits and crisps?

[KIDS LAUGHING]

And the lemonade.
I just went shopping yesterday.

Maybe it was the pixies again.

Jem, do you know what happened
to all the biscuits and crisps?

No.

Jemmy, tell the truth.

It was a nuckelavee.

Nuckelavee?

It's a... folk tale
from the northern isles.

Kind of a horse-like demon.

Who told you about that, Jem?

It wasn't Grandda was it?

I met one when we were outside earlier.

[SOFTLY] He said he'd take Mandy
if I didn't bring him food.

Jemmy...

It's true.

I'm sorry I lied before
about the pixies, Mama.

I broke the alarm clock.

I was only trying to see how it worked.

But I mean it this time.

The nuckelavee is real.

[MANDY] I need another color.

[JEMMY] I've got one.

[SIGHS]

First pixies and now nuckelavees.

Did he really think we'd believe him?

I think he believes it.

And can you blame him, Bri?

He's traveled through time.

He-he told us
that Mandy could travel too

before she could even talk.

He knows there's magic in the world.

[BRIANNA] That's all true.

And he has been really good
about not telling people

what he can do, but...

those biscuits didn't eat themselves.

So unless you think
the nuckelavee is real...

I'll talk to him.

I just worry that if we stifle
his imagination,

he'll forget where he comes from,

who he comes from.

He'll stop believing his own story.

[SIGHS] Fine.

But if he ends up
with imaginary cavities,

- you're handling it.
- [LAUGHS]

Deal.

[RACHEL] It is regrettable

thee cannot keep thy beard, William.

It is such a striking color.

I should think you would
consider it rather unseemly

for me to have it, Miss Hunter.

Both because I am a gentleman

and because I understand that Quakers

deem vivid colors to be too worldly.

[CHUCKLES] Immodest ornament
is hardly the same

as acceptance of God's gifts.

Do roses fling away their petals?

I very much doubt
that roses find their petals

to be as perigynous as a beard.

- Itchy.

Thy speech is far superior
to thy clothes, William.

Thee has not said what brought thee

to the Great Dismal.

'Tis a rare thing to see
a gentleman of thy caliber

in our little part of the world.

Well, it was brought to my attention

that the... hunting
is unparalleled in these parts.

And does thee often go hunting unarmed?

My horse bolted, as you know.

Ran off with my rifle.

Careful, Miss Hunter.

Or I shall begin to think
you take me for a liar.

[RACHEL] I do.

Or, at least,

I think thee is not
telling me the whole tale.

[SMALL LAUGH]

[RAZOR CLATTERS]

May I see thy wound?

[SIGHS]

It has made a fine scar, I think.

It looks like the star
which led the Wise Men.

I'm not too worldly, then.

It fits thy character.

'Tis good thee has recovered so quickly.

My brother and I,
we will be leaving this place

in a few days.

Why?

At the last yearly meeting
of the Society of Friends,

we all prayed on the matter of politics.

We were advised that peace

lay in reconciliation
with Mother England.

But the Spirit moved my brother

to speak in favor of independence.

You mean a rebellion.

I do not.

Liberty is a gift from God.

Denny said we must endeavor
to preserve it.

Some saw that as encouraging violence,

so Denny was put out of Meeting.

I think thee cannot perhaps understand

what that means.

I gather that is grave indeed.

Something like being drummed
out of one's regiment.

It is more akin to being
drummed out of one's family.

But it has not deterred my brother.

He intends to join the
Continental Army as a surgeon.

One of the soldiers, Samuel Cartwright,

said there was a call for men
at Ticonderoga.

When we leave, that is where we will go.

Is that a Samuel Cartwright
from here in Dismal Town?

Yes. He is a neighbor of ours.

Is thee acquainted with him?

He is known to a friend of mine.

My path also takes me north.

It's a dangerous road.

Perhaps I could accompany
you and your brother.

I would very much appreciate
having some company

on my journey.

Then I thank thee, William.

I will let my brother know.
