RALPH: Miss Markham
is far from alone.

She has her uncle,
his brother.

Our parents are expecting us...

What is one more day when
Augusta's future is at stake?

This is the last thing
I will ask.

Then I'll come back to you.

I promise.

MRS WHEATLEY: Good evening,
Gentlemen.

I hope you had a pleasant...

But where is Miss Markham?

We hoped she might have
returned before us?

Even just to collect her
belongings?

Leo?

Why are you still awake
at this hour?

I couldn't sleep.

Why is Augusta not with you?

Leo, is there anything
you wish to tell us?

Leonora?

I promised.

Please, Leo.

You will not be punished.

Come, now.

You would not keep
a secret from me?

This afternoon, I helped
her meet with him.

I'm sorry.

I just wanted Augusta
to be happy again.

Go on.

She said she wanted to escape.

She talked about a place
called... Falmouth.

Well done, Leo.

Let us hope to God we find her
before she is ruined.

[DOOR CREAKS]

[CARRIAGE CLATTERS]

I will see Miss Heywood
safely returned.

Godspeed to you both.

ROWLEIGH: Good morning Louisa!

And how is my betrothed
this morning?

Ugh. Perfectly dreadful!

I might have known.

You have changed your mind
in the cold light of day?

No no no.
It's nothing to do with that.

It's my wretched nephew.

He has run off
with that Markham girl.

Dear me.

I assume that the uncle
is trying to recover her?

He is on his way to Falmouth
even now,

but I have little hope
that he will catch them.

It's all unspeakably sordid.

She will be ruined!

Along with our family name.

Not necessarily.

If we can keep the whole affair
a secret,

we can force him to marry
her before word gets out.

Then no one will know.

Besides, you won't be a Denham
for much longer,

and then you needn't worry
about the family name!

I suppose that is
some consolation.

One of the many benefits
you will receive

by marrying Mr. Pryce!

What are the other benefits?

You will find out next week!

Next week?

We have waited long enough,
have we not?

And neither of us
has time to waste.

Just so long as you
turn up this time.

My dear, Louisa.

Nothing on God's earth
could stop me.

[DISTANT SEA SOUNDS]

GEORGIANA: Arthur.

Have you come to congratulate
me, after all?

I've come in the hope that
in the cold light of day,

you might reconsider this rash,
impulsive decision.

It is neither rash
nor impulsive.

You don't love Harry.

Any more than he loves you.

This has nothing to do
with love.

Look!

Each day, the post brings
yet more claims on my fortune

and marriage proposals
from strangers.

Once I am a Duchess,
all the voices will be silenced.

All this will cease.

And what about your happiness?

What about his happiness?

I have no wish to hurt you.

But if you cannot marry him, why
should I not?

[DOOR CLICKS]

LADY MONTROSE: How is my
daughter in law to be

this morning?

Your Grace.

Lady Lydia.

Mr Parker!

I am afraid we are going to have
to steal Miss Lambe from you.

We have a wedding to organise.

[STREET BUSTLE]

[SOMBRE MUSIC]

[BIRDS FLUTTER AND SING]

[CARRIAGE RUMBLES]

We have been traveling
all night.

Perhaps you should try
and sleep.

COLBOURNE: How can I?

My mind is racing with thoughts

of how I might
have stopped this.

What good will that do?

The die was cast

the moment Denham declared
his interest in her.

Or rather, her inheritance.

I tried to warn Augusta but
she was too stubborn to listen.

Augusta is not a child.

She knows her own
mind.

She is too young
to know her own mind.

[CARRIAGE RATTLES]

Too often, young women
are thought to be strangers

to their own minds...

It is left to fathers or uncles

to choose the path their lives
Should take.

As if we require saving
from ourselves.

This isn't evidence
that she does?

Even if he is unworthy,
what she feels for him is real.

She is a young woman in love.

[SOFT MUSIC]

Tell me this...

What should I have done
differently?

You could have listened...

Instead of disparaging her.

Persuaded her to make
the right choice for herself,

instead of making the choice
for her.

All I want is to assure
her future.

Of course you do.

That is all any father wants,
including mine...

I must also own my share
of the blame for this.

I told Augusta she must
follow her heart

or she would live
to regret it...

We must find a place
to rest our heads.

We have only just arrived.

Are you not exhausted
from ourjourney?

I am excited!

I feel free at last.

We no longer have to hide
ourselves away.

We can do whatever we choose!

And no one can stop us.

TOM: Heading out, I see?

I'm off to the Old Town again,

yo see how young Dora
is faring -

I hope she is recovered.

I hope She will not soon
be out of a home.

[TOM HUFFS]

Mary, for the last time,
please understand

this hotel will bring prosperity
to Sanditon.

It will bring jobs
and a better future for all.

At what cost?

It is not too late, particularly
when there are so many sick.

You can still do what is right.

[TOM SIGHS]

[DOOR THUDS]

Forgive me, is
this the Parker household?

Of course, Chawley is one of the
finest houses in the country,

but with 40 bedrooms,
it is quite an undertaking.

I hope you are not daunted?

Not in the least.

I relish the prospect.

In truth, the East Wing
is in need of repair,

but there is so much room

that you and Harry can
go about your own lives.

Husbands need space to roam,
after all... but not too far!

Rest assured I am only moving to
the dower house on the estate,

so I will be able
to guide and advise you.

Agreat comfort, I'm sure.

Oh, there is so much to impart!

I've never forgotten how my late
mother in law took me in hand,

and now it is my turn
to ready you for your new role.

I am keen to learn

everything you have to teach me,
your grace.

You will make a fine Duchess.

I know it.

And the very moment
you are ready,

we shall present you at Court!

-MARY: There you are!
-Mary?

Could this wait, perhaps?

This is Agnes Harmon.

[PANTS]

Your mother.

[GASPS]

[FOOTSTEPS]

Georgiana!

Stop, please!

How could you ambush me
like this?

You spent so long
searching for your mother.

I though you wouldn't wish
to wait another moment...

I exhausted every possible
avenue.

She could not be found.

So whoever that woman is...

What are you saying?

I am used to people
taking advantage of me,

but to pose as my mother...

If it was her,
I would recognise her.

I know this is a shock.

But if I had the slightest
doubt

I wouldn't have
brought her to you.

At least hear
what she has to say.

[STREET CHATTER]

You have no reason
to be nervous.

I am not nervous.

I trust you with all my heart.

AS you should.

[HORSES PANT]

If I'd known it was him,
that it would lead to this,

then I would never have
encouraged her.

I do not doubt it.

All I knew was you were trying
to choose a husband for her,

against her will.

And the thought of Augusta being
trapped in a loveless marriage,

unable to be with the man she...

It was more than I could bear.

I am sorry that I can't keep
you company any longer,

but Mr Parker and I must secure
the last of our investments.

You've proved
a useful distraction.

You've saved me from dwelling
on my miserable nephew.

Would you be so kind
as to bring around the carriage?

Carriage?
Do you mean your buggy?

No, no, no. Mr Parker and I
are off to Bath.

I thought our carriage would be
more suitable for the journey?

Our carriage?

What's yours will soon be mine.

And vice versa!

I admit that my estate is not
so grand as Sanditon House

but I can assure you, you will
be more than comfortable.

My late wife
had excellent taste.

Although I'm sure you'll wish to
make minor adjustments

here and there.

You expect me
to leave Sanditon?

It is customary for a wife
to live with her husband!

And you wouldn't want to see me

traipsing up and down
the country

in order to be with you,
would you?

After so many years apart!

[FOOTSTEPS]

She's clearly an unscrupulous
opportunist who got wind

of the fact Miss Lambe
is not only wealthy,

but soon to be titled...

The news would need to
have travelled

at the speed of lightning.

I hope they give her
short shrift!

We have yet to discuss
your triumph last night.

Given what a clumsy dancer
you are,

Mr Colbourne seemed quite
smitten...

Do you know how cruel this is?

I have been searching
for my mother for months...

And I have been searching
for you for years.

But, not knowing you were here,
I was sending word to Antigua.

I assume you read the newspapers
about an infamous heiress,

and suddenly you realised
I must be your daughter...?

That's not what led me
to you.

I don't read the London
newspapers.

Why now?

In Antigua, I am not
a free woman.

I can never return there.

My then master brought me
to England five years ago.

I fought for my freedom.

But I lost hope
that I would see you again.

Why should I believe you?

I did not come here
to upset you.

I do not want a thing from you.

All I want is to know you.

And if it wasn't the trial
or the newspapers, then what?

What led you to me now?

It was Mr Molyneux.

Otis?

[SOFT MUSIC]

MARY: I've brought you
some fresh fruit, my dear.

[CHILD COUGHS]

Your fever seems to be
lifting, Dora,

but you must eat some of
these...

MRS FILKINS: That is very
generous of you.

I promise I have not
given up on my endeavours.

I believe the Old Town
can be saved.

I am afraid we need rather more
than your goodwill, Mrs Parker.

MARY: When did you get this?

I did not know

That your husband has already
sold out the land from under us?

What are you saying
to my uncle?

That since he won't let us
marry,

we have no choice
but to go to Scotland.

I cannot wait to be your wife.

I cannot wait to be
your husband.

You must be tired by now?

Will you not lie down
a while?

COLBOURNE: We shall just have
to search street by street.

Are we not best to start
with the boarding houses?

If they've been travelling
all night as we have,

they'll be looking
for a place to sleep...

I fear sleep will be
the last thing on his mind.

He brought her here to ruin her.

To force a marriage...

She will not be ruined.

She will be the same Augusta
She ever was.

No less a part of your family.

And no less deserving
of your love.

I know it is not the life you
wished for her,

but for her sake, try to
reconcile yourself to it.

Mary, we'll leave as soon
as the meeting is over

so I'll be back in good time
to welcome the Montroses,

-and to meet Georgiana's -
-How could you!?

You've served them eviction
nofices?

What did you think
was going to happen?

I thought, I hoped your
conscience would stop you.

That you would realise what you
are doing is immoral.

It is merely business.

It is wrong!

Mrs Filkins is caring
for a sick child!

We have a responsibility!

Does my opinion count
for nothing?

This is all for you!

Don't you see?

This is for our future,

-our children's future!
-No!

All I see is a man
who has lost his way.

You are no longer
the Tom Parker I married.

[SLAMS CASE]

[DOOR SLAMS]

ROWLEIGH: Make haste, man!

I have got a blushing
bride-to—be to return to!

Why did I think they'd be
staying under their own names?

He's far too calculating
for that.

It's too soon
to give up hope.

I just spoke to
the baker's boy.

He delivers all over the town,
every inn, every hostel...

I asked if he'd seen anyone
who fits their description.

He said there is a tall,
fair man

staying at The Old Crown Inn
with his new bride.

WVATER SPLASHES]

You do love me, don't you...
Edward?

How could you ask me that?

I just need
to hear you say it.

I love you more than I have ever
loved another breathing soul.

AGNES: Those first six months
were the happiest I have had

on this earth.

But then your father
took a wife.

An Englishwoman.

I begged for them
to let me keep you,

but my new owner didn't want
a slave with a child.

They told me you had died.

Mr Molyneux said.

I thought of you every day.

When I departed Antigua,
I left a necklace

in the hope it might find
its way to you somehow.

That you'd have something of me,
at least.

By then I'd already been
in England for two years...

To think that all this time

we have been living
just 50 miles apart.

Mr Molyneux came to
find me in Bristol.

He found me through his work
with the Sons of Africa.

I took the first coach
I could find.

I travelled all night
but I would have done anything.

Anything...
to see your face again.

[TEACUP CHINKS]

It found me in the end.

Just as you have.

[FOOTSTEPS]

Whatever’s transpired,
try to Show compassion.

Or you will only drive her
further away.

[DOOR CLICKS]

[DOOR BANGS]

Uncle?

Miss Heywood?

AGNES: I must thank you,
Mrs Parker.

Not just for persuading
Georgiana to trust me,

but for all the kindness
you have shown her.

We couldn't be fonder
of Georgiana.

To see the two of you
reunited...

nothing could make me happier.

We have so much time
to make up for.

And we will.

Tom and I are hosting
a celebratory dinner tonight

for Georgiana, Miss Harmon.

I do hope you will join us.

Now it will be a double
celebration!

What are we celebrating?

You haven't told your mother?

I am to be married.

Oh, Georgiana,
that is wonderful!

Of course I will come.

How can I miss a chance
to meet your new family

or the man you love!

I am sorry you chose
to come all this way,

but you have had
a wasted journey.

We are in love.

I will not let you drag me away.

We are resolved
to be married, Sir.

Then I will do nothing
to stand in your way.

You are old enough
to know your own mind, Augusta.

If you genuinely love
Sir Edward,

if this is the man
you wish to marry,

then all I ask is that
you return to Sanditon

so we can hold a proper wedding.

[BIRDS CAW]

LADY SUSAN: Forgive me for
calling unannounced,

I had to see if there was
any word of Augusta?

Your arrival could not be
more welcome.

But alas there is no news.

With every hour that passes,
I grow more concerned.

I am sure she'll be
safely returned all too soon.

SAMUEL: Ijust wish there
was something I could do

to be of use.

But instead
I find myself restricted

to pacing the corridors
endlessly.

At least we can now
pace them together.

I have only known Augusta
a short time.

She is my brother's niece
by marriage,

yet somehow I find myself rather
protective of her.

That speaks well of you.

At least there is one positive

to be found
in this miserable situation.

What is that?

Miss Heywood
and your brother

have been forced
into each other's company.

Perhaps they will finally accept

that they are
meant to be together.

Perhaps they will.

And yet one must never
underestimate

the power of denial.

I feared I might never
see Leo again,

and now she can be
my bridesmaid.

I would never have dared hope
for such a change in you, Uncle.

You must surely be the cause
of it, Miss Heywood?

I can make no such claim.

COLBOURNE: Let me just say this.

I would never ask you to marry
any man against your will.

Ayoung woman should be free
to follow her heart,

not forced into
a loveless marriage

just because her parent

or guardian considers it
advantageous.

But I would beg you to consider
if this is what you truly want.

You are
a remarkable young woman.

I have not said it enough.

You hold so much potential.

I'd hate to see you set a limit
on a life that's barely begun...

The choice is yours alone.

If you sincerely believe that
Edward Denham is worthy of you,

that he can offer you
the fulfillment

and happiness you deserve...

then you have my blessing.

Edward is a good man, Uncle.

He has treated me with nothing
but respect and kindness.

He could have taken my honour,
but chose not to...

EDWARD: No.

It was only their arrival
that spared your honour.

What?

[AUG USTA GAS PS]

Agood man would not
steal you from your family

for his own ends.

This was not for your own ends.

We are in love.

I have never been
in love with you.

It has only ever been
your inheritance I wanted.

Not you.

[GASPS, SOBS]

Edward, that is a lie.

Don't do this.

You do not care about my money.

We are fated to be together.

[AMUSED BREATH]

Are you really so naive?

There were many women
before you.

There will be many women
to come.

Did you really think you would
somehow be the one to redeem me?

I always put myself first.

Ask Esther.

Ask Clara.

Ask my son.

[FOOTSTEPS]

[DOOR CLICKS]

[AUGUSTA SOBS]

[DISTANT CHATTER]

You would really have
let them marry?

If you've taught me anything,
Miss Heywood,

it's that a young woman has a
right to choose her own destiny.

I would respect
whatever choice she made,

even if it pained me.

Just as I must respect yours.

AGNES: What is your future
husband like?

Is he handsome?

ARTHUR: Some would say.

And kind?
I do hope he is kind?

He is kindness itself.

MARY: I am so sorry
Mr Parker isn't here yet.

I can't think
what is keeping him.

[BELL RINGS]

[MARY BREATHES HEAVILY]

And now our other guests are
arriving, what are we to do?

I am certain he will
return soon, Mary.

And in the meantime,
rest assured,

I shall play host in his stead.

Oh, thank you.

[MARY PANTS]

Lord Montrose.

Your grace. Lady Lydia.

How radiant you all look!

Your grace.

Lady Lydia. Harry.

May I introduce my mother.

LADY MONTROSE: So, it is true?

She is your mother?

There is not a doubt
in my mind.

Well... This is both...
unexpected and delightful.

I am indeed pleased to meet you.

I could not wait
to meet you all properly.

Most especially Harry.

Not to put too fine
a point on it,

it is customary to address
the Duke as 'your grace'.

But he is to be
my daughter's husband...

Let's not split hairs, Mrs...?

Miss. Miss Harmon.

Oh! You are not married?

How original.

LADY SUSAN: When you asked me
to stay for dinner,

I would never have guessed
you had this in mind...

SAMUEL: Had I known
you'd be here,

I would have had Cook
prepare a banquet.

LADY SUSAN: This is infinitely
preferable.

There is no finer meal
than a larder forage.

Though I suspect you rarely
venture below stairs.

You seem to be under
the misconception

that I'm inherently grand.

My parents were not wealthy.

But then you met
Lord de Clemente?

Oh, he was not wealthy, either,
or kind.

We married in circumstances

not unlike those your niece
now finds herself in now.

Hence your concern for her.

By the age of thirty,
I was a widow

with nothing to my name
besides a title.

That's why I pray for
a happier outcome for Augusta.

And why you have since sworn off
love and marriage?

It is getting late.

I have kept you too long.

[FOOTSTEPS]

Must you leave?

[SOFT MUSIC]

Forgive me.

You are forgiven.

I must apologise again

for my husband's unforgivable
lateness.

[MARY BREATHES HEAVY]

ARTHUR: I am sure he won't mind
if we've started without him.

Mr Parker, surely a toast
is called for?

ARTHUR: Ah, of course,
your grace.

To the future Duke and Duchess
of Buckinghamshire.

May your marriage be
long and happy!

And may your first born
be a son!

To us, my love.

LYDIA: How long will you be
staying in Sanditon,

Miss Harmon?

As long as I can.

Now that I've found Georgiana,

I'm reluctant to let her
out of my sight.

And yet it's so important to let
our children spread their wings.

That is very much your credo,
isn't it Mother?

There is nothing wrong

with a little gentle guidance
now and again, Lydia.

Wouldn't you agree, Mrs Parker.

MARY: Well, my children
are still young...

Arthur, I have been thinking.

It is not a perfect solution,
but Chawley is vast.

There would be ample room
for you to live with us.

Would there not, Harry?

HARRY: Ample...

If the arrangement
would be agreeable?

LADY MONTROSE: What is the topic
down there, I wonder?

You all look fearfully serious!

Georgiana was just telling me

how large your estate is,
your grace.

Oh. Oh, it is
a monstrous burden!

Sometimes I think
it would be a relief

to live in a dear
little house like this.

I imagine you can cope

with a bare handful of staff,
Mrs Parker?

I consider myself fortunate
to have any, your grace.

And what is your...
situation, Miss Harmon?

I lodge with my employer
in Bristol.

Oh!
So, you have a... trade?

I work for an organisation
that helps former slaves.

They were a great help to me
when I was given my freedom.

I imagine that's not something
you'd like to dwell on.

I am not in the least ashamed
of who I am.

Nor should you be.

[MARY BREATHES HEAVILY]

Are you quite alright,
Mrs Parker?

Yes. Thank you.

I wonder if we have need
for all these fires.

It is barely Autumn...

You must tell me
where you two met?

Oh, we met here in Sanditon.

Just a few weeks ago.

A brief courtship?

The briefest imaginable.

Yes. I was struck by Georgiana
the first time I saw her and...

We quickly came to realise
we wanted the same things.

And what are those things?

What everyone wants from
a marriage, surely?

Position.
Stability...

Some might venture that
love should play a part?

Love takes many forms, Lydia.

But you do love each
other, don't you?

Of course.

Then you have my blessing.

[MARY PANTS]

MARY: Would you excuse me?

I feel in sudden need
of some air...

[MARY GASPS,
[TH UD]

AGNES: She is burning up.

Send for a doctor at once!

[CARRIAGE RUMBLES]

[AUGUSTA SOBS]

Why did I let myself
fall in love with him?

We cannot choose
who we fall in love with.

I know something of the agony
you're feeling.

But in time
your heart will heal.

And this will come to seem
no more than a distant memory.

[SOFT MUSIC]

LADY DENHAM: Well well.

I wasn't expecting you
to return so soon.

Are you going to explain
yourself?

What is there to explain?

For all your efforts, Aunt,

it seems I am quite
irredeemable after all.

I assume this means
your plan failed?

Mr Colbourne caught up with you
before you could ruin his niece?

And he managed
to restrain himself

from shooting you on the spot?

As a matter of fact, he offered
us the opportunity to marry.

But Miss Markham
came to her senses?

No, it was I who declined.

Why?

Because she deserves a good deal
better than a man like me.

Oh.

Good heavens, could it be you
actually felt something for her?

Of course not, Aunt.

You know me.

I am incapable of feeling.

[DOOR CLICKS AND SLAMS]

Tom! At last...

I know, I know, I'm fearfully
late for dinner,

but it was worth it!

Mr Pryce and I have
finally secured

all the investment we need
for our hotel!

Never mind that!

You need to come upstairs
at once.

It is Mary...

She is gravely ill.

[MELANCHOLY MUSIC]

Good God!
Mary!

[CARRIAGE RATTLES]

[HORSE GRUNTS]

Thank you.

I'd have been at a loss
without you...

You must have more
faith in yourself.

You should take Augusta home.

Good night.

[FOOTSTEPS]

[CARRIAGE DOOR CLOSES]

[CARRIAGE RATTLES ONWARD]

RALPH: Charlotte.

Ralph?

What are you doing out
at such a late hour?

I've been walking the streets.

Waiting for your return...

You had no need to...

I was afraid you might not
come back to me.

[DOOR CLICKS]

GEORGIANA: Charlotte.

Thank goodness.
you must come at once.

CHARLOTTE: What is it?

Mary collapsed in the
middle of dinner.

Dr Fuchs is with her now.

ARTHUR: We are gravely
concerned.

Charlotte, this is my mother,
Agnes Harmon.

How do you do?

You found each other...?

I will explain how later.

I prayed this day would come.

It is such a great honour to
meet you, Miss Harmon.

And I am glad to meet you too,
Miss Heywood.

I only wish it were in
better circumstances.

We must see to Mary.

Of course.

LADY MONTROSE: Do I gather
Miss Heywood has returned

in Mr Colbourne's carriage?

That's right, your grace.

You are a very trusting man,
Mr Starling.

They were not alone?

Miss Markham was with them.

At this late hour?
How intriguing.

Where can they have been,
I wonder?

It hardly seems important
now, does it?

There is little more
important to my mother

than what Mr Colbourne
is doing or thinking

at any given moment.

That is because
he has a fine house

and a good income and you are
in need of a husband.

I am thinking only of you,
Lydia.

Is your daughter not at liberty

to make her own choice
in a marriage,

just as her brother has?

If it were left to me,

I would be married already,
Miss Harmon.

But fortunately,
my dear mother saved me

from an unpropitious match.

Might there be any more wine,
Mr Parker?

I am sure we could all use
something to settle our nerves.

[ARTHUR SIGHS]

I believe there was some
left in the dining room.

[FOOTSTEPS]

Mary!

I fear it is the fever
that has swept the Old Town.

The good lady has tended
to so many.

Fate has dealt her a cruel hand.

My behaviour has been egregious,
Miss Heywood.

[SNIFFS]

Would that she just sit up
and admonish me!

Mary, I swear it, we shall
never have a cross word again.

I will never stray
from your side

or waste a moment
without your company.

There is nothing more important
than you.

[TOM SOBS]

Without you, I cannot exist.

Please...

Please...

ARTHUR: There is not a lot of
claret left, I am afraid.

I can ask a servant
to fetch another bottle.

I wonder...

have you given any thought
to Georgiana's offer?

Now is hardly the time...

Think about it.

We would see each other
as often as we wanted,

but the marriage would give the
appearance of respectability.

As long as you kept
a discreet profile.

A discreet profile!

You would have me hide
in the shadows

while you and Georgiana
maintain this Charade...

Is a compromise not better
than nothing?

Is it?

How can you expect me
to turn a blind eye

to this misbegotten marriage
when I love Georgiana

andllove".

My dear Arthur.

[BREATH ES HEAVILY]

I feel the same.

I am so sorry, Harry.

Butl must be true to who I am.

I would sooner live alone
than live a lie.

[BOTH BREATHE HEAVILY]

There is only a little left,
I'm afraid,

if anyone would care for some?

How is Mrs Parker?

She is sleeping,

but still dangerously feverish.

LADY MONTROSE: Then it is time
we left her to your care.

I will stay and keep vigil,
but you should get some sleep.

We can escort your mother
back to your apartment.

Thank you.

That would be kind.

[FOOTSTEPS ON STAIRS]

[ARTHUR SIGHS]

Everyone has left.

All except Mr Starling.

[FIRE CRACKLES]

How is Mrs Parker?

There is still no change.

-You didn't need to stay...
-And Miss Markham?

You have yet to tell me
what transpired in Falmouth?

She is quite unharmed.

I am glad.

I am sure Mr Colbourne was
grateful for your presence.

Ralph...

Earlier, while you were
upstairs,

we were talking about marriage.

Miss Harmon asked Lady Montrose

if her children were free
to marry who they chose?

What was her answer?

Lady Lydia said there was
someone she'd wanted to marry,

but her mother put an end to it.

l was never the man you chose,
was I?

This was arranged
by our parents,

before we even knew
what marriage meant.

Yes.

You are so dear to me, Ralph.

You always will be.

But I cannot marry you.

You are in love
with Mr Colbourne.

I tried so hard not to be.

I would understand
if you despised me.

No.

I cannot feel anything
other than love for you.

That is what this makes this
so hard.

LADY MONTROSE: How does this
compare to your lodgings

in Bristol, Miss Harmon?

AGNES: There is a great deal
more room

but it's rather less cosy.

You realise Georgiana
is soon to be mistress

of one of the grander houses
in the country?

Yes, you made that quite
clear at dinner.

Of course being a Duchess brings
with it certain expectations.

A level of scrutiny.

No doubt.

As mothers, we want to see our
children flourish, don't we?

The last thing
we would want

is for our presence
to be a hindrance.

So, if you should suddenly
find yourself called away,

I would be happy to provide you
with whatever was needed.

I can be quite generous
when I want to be.

DR. FUCHS: Her heart thumps
like a racing horse.

You must prepare yourselves
for the worst...

[TOM SNIFFS]

TOM: No.

No. You cannot mean...

I fear there is nothing more
I can do, Herr Parker.

Whatever is to come, it will
be decided during the night.
