Girls, you have met
Miss Heywood.

She is to be your new governess.

Colbourne, did you say?

- Yes. Do you know him?
- Only by reputation.

Would you still do me the honor?

With the greatest of pleasure,
sir.

Are you not inclined
to make your own opinion,

- Miss Lambe?
- I already have.

Forgive me, sir,
but Miss Colbourne lacks

a mother
and also a father.

- Clara?
- I'm with child.

It is Edward's!

Present!

Fire!

Advance five paces!

Present... Fire!

Present!

Fire!

Morning!

I lay awake all night.

Since dancing with Captain Carter,

I cannot eat or sleep
for thinking of him.

Then he must be
a remarkable dancer,

since you exchanged
all of five words.

Perhaps
he will call on me today!

What should I wear?

Why does it matter?

If he doesn't love you for who you are,
he's hardly worthy.

So, who are you dreaming of?

Your strange new employer?

Why should I dream of him?

Or, perhaps, a certain colonel?

Alison!

Not Sidney.

Still?

Your aim was woeful.

I fear for the state
of your eyes.

It is not my eyes
that are afflicted, Fraser.

You speak of nothing else, man.

I shall be calling on her today.

- You agreed you would help.
- With what?

I'm a tongue-tied buffoon
in her presence.

Tell me what to say.

I cannot put words
in your mouth.

Just speak of what you know.
Be honest.

Then you cannot fail.

No!

Absolutely not!
I refuse to allow it!

Do you hear that, God?
Tom Parker has spoken!

It is my very favorite day
of the summer,

if not the year...
as long as it doesn't rain.

It won't, my dear,
I'm sure of it.

You have these doubts
every year,

and it has never yet rained
for the Midsummer Fair.

Tomorrow will see
our greatest fair yet:

a Parker Brothers triumph!

There will be be pony rides!

And a flower crown
competition!

And a pièce de résistance.

What's an elephantus?

It's a creature
bigger than a house.

Look, Charlotte.

What are you studying

so intently, my dear?

I am to teach the girls French

- but rather overstated my ability.
- Perhaps you should give up

your position
with the Colbourne family.

In truth, they could hardly
be called a family.

This is a family.

They seem almost strangers
to each other.

But I'm not about to give up
on something I've barely begun.

Au revoir, tout le monde.

Thank you, Arthur, thank you...

I had so hoped Charlotte
would be a friend and confidante

to Georgiana, this summer.

I fear she's in need of her influence
now more than ever.

Have no fear.

I shall look out for Georgiana.

Do you suppose

this creature is to be ridden
or merely admired?

Oh, the latter, surely.

I cannot imagine there exists
a saddle big enough.

And how could one possibly
adopt a comfortable position

astride such a beast?

- Miss Lambe, good morning.
- Good morning.

We were just discussing
elephants.

I suppose such creatures are
quite commonplace in Antigua.

Quite so.
I kept five as pets.

My word!

Are there any letters for me?
I'm expecting one from my father's lawyer.

This arrived early this morning.

Pushed under the door.

"Beware Greeks bearing gifts."

Perhaps she mistook my meaning.

Miss Heywood!

- Colonel Lennox!
- What luck to chance upon you here.

- May I walk with you a moment?
- By all means.

- I take it you're on your way to work.
- Yes.

So, what shards of wisdom

shall you be imparting
to your charges today?

French.

Then I'm afraid

I cannot be of assistance.

I was a woeful schoolboy
in my day.

Unless, of course, you wish
to teach your students

a dozen different ways
to say "surrender."

Alas, I fear there
is little chance of them surrendering

to me any time soon,

despite your advice on strategy.

There's no shame in beating
a retreat, Miss Heywood,

if the position is not for you.

- Do you doubt my ability?
- Oh, not for a moment.

You deserve a position

in which you are afforded
the respect you are due.

It speaks ill of your employer
that you're not.

In truth,
I hardly see my employer.

He keeps his own counsel.

But from what I have seen,
I'm determined to keep my distance.

Sounds wise, Miss Heywood.

Does it not strike you
as coincidence

that she should arrive
just days after Edward?

Oh, it smells to high heaven!

But if Edward and Clara
have been conspiring together,

then where has she been
for the past nine months?

Traveling with his company
while they concocted this scheme?

Esther, what's the matter?

Perhaps we should call the doctor.

Your ears must be burning.

You are so

so king, Aunt,
to show me such mercy.

Don't get too comfortable.
You're not staying.

I understand
why you'd be suspicious.

Were I in your place,
I would feel the same way.

Why are you here, Clara?

Seeking shelter.
That is all.

You have other family.

None worthy of the name.

My uncle disowned me

when he heard
I was unwed and with child.

And you claim Edward

- is the father?
- You know he is.

You were there the night...

The night
he took advantage of me.

Even while you lay gravely ill,
Aunt.

Every day, I regret

succumbing to his charm.

Although Esther knows
how persuasive he can be.

Then why not pursue him
for shelter?

You think I have not?

I have written constantly.

Begging him for support.

But they all went unanswered.

Well, then, I shall summon
him here this morning.

Let us see what he has to say
for himself.

Edward is here?

In Sanditon?

How dare you?

It is not even a good likeness!

Forgive me.
I drew it from memory.

It was an act

of gross presumption
to do so without my permission.

Do I need permission
to admire you, Miss Lambe?

And if you're so
grievously offended,

then why are you here?

What do you want from me?

Isn't that obvious?

I wish to know you better.

That is how I see you.

Doubtless it differs
from how you see yourself.

But maybe you could tell me
how you'd like to be seen.

Miss Lambe!
There you are!

Good morning, Miss Markham.

Where's Leo?

Disparue.

What do you mean,
"disappeared"?

Nous n'avons pas l'envie
d'étudier aujourd'hui.

Nevertheless, your uncle
has employed me to teach you.

Mon oncle vous a employée
pour nous tenir hors de son chemin.

Il me voit comme un fardeau
insupportable.

"Fardeau"?

It means burden.

You're supposed
to be teaching me.

Have you any idea
where she might be?

The careless governess
has lost the child.

Leo?

The careless governess
will be punished.

Leo?

Leo?

She'll be out in the grounds,
Miss Heywood.

Well, it shouldn't take long
to find her, then.

It's only a thousand acres.

Leonora!

Leo?

Leo!

Easy.

Hey!

Hey, hey...

Careful.

Keep your distance.

What's his name?

Hannibal.

He took fright earlier
at the sound of gunfire.

I cannot seem to calm him.

Miss Heywood...

Miss Heywood!

Shh, Hannibal.

Come on.

We've lost the elephant!

What if we raised our offer?

Brinshore have outbid us
by 30 pounds, Arthur!

We do not have
that kind of money.

Least of all when every penny
must be accounted for

and subjected to the scrutiny

of both Lady Denham
and our sister-in-law.

Perhaps we could find
another animal.

With less than a day to go
until the fair?

- I shall be a laughingstock.
- No, you will not!

And, and as your right-hand man,
I, I shan't allow it!

Oh, they say there is a cow

in Mudeford that can moo
"God Save the King."

I shall make urgent inquiries!

Miss Heywood!

Thank you.

- That was bravely done.
- I was raised around horses.

Perhaps you can use
those same skills

in taming my wayward niece
and daughter.

The skills required
are not so different.

Half the battle
is winning their trust.

Indeed.

Where are they now, anyway?

So what are your passions,
Miss Heywood?

Besides poetry, of course.

Cowper and…
the, the other greats.

I like to dance and sing.
We keep a pianoforte at home.

I have always longed to travel.

France, Italy... India.

Have you traveled, Captain?

- Well...
- But, of course...

the war.

You must have shown
great courage.

I would not claim that.

You are too modest.

Unless perhaps
you cannot bear to speak of it.

There was one battle
in particular.

There was one battle in particular.
We'd built a bridge to cross the Bidassoa.

But it wasn't strong enough.

I had to swim
my comrades to safety.

I tried to save
as many as I could.

It must have been terrifying.

Some more gentlemen
have written

requesting an audience,
Georgiana.

I'm sure you'd prefer me
to decline, but...

If you wouldn't mind.

Unless you would rather I
dispatch them in my own fashion?

Mr. Lockhart

has also thrown his hat
into the ring,

if his drawing is any measure.

Mr. Lockhart has drawn you?

- When did you sit for him?
- He drew me from memory.

We cannot consider him
a potential suitor, Miss Hankins.

An artist cannot offer

the security and position
Georgiana needs.

And we all witnessed
his behavior at the mess dinner.

Speaking of the mess dinner,

I am not one to gossip,
but my housemaid tells me

that no one
has yet been paid for it.

Mrs. Wilkinson says the Army
are running up vast amounts of credit.

The shopkeepers are up in arms.

Aunt, Esther.

I cannot tell you how heartened I was
that you wished to see me again.

Be under no illusions.

You have not been summoned
because we wish to enjoy your company.

You are here to provide
an unconvincing explanation

for whatever this woeful trick is
that you and Clara are attempting.

Clara?

Edward.

Clara tells us
that she has written to you

repeatedly,

asking you
to accept your responsibilities

as the child's father.

Father?

But her entreaties
have been ignored.

How do you plead?

You cannot think I'm responsible
for Miss Brereton's condition.

Nine months exactly
since the night we burned the will.

And who knows how many men
you've been acquainted with since?

Edward!

Why have you not answered
my letters?

Because I never received any!
My dear aunt,

you must see this for what it is:

merely an attempt to extort
money from our family.

Miss Brereton

has compromised herself, and now
she's looking to me as scapegoat.

For a moment,
you'd almost convinced me

that you'd become
a man of honor.

But now it seems that,
for once,

Clara is telling the truth.

- Aunt...
- Get out of my sight!

And as for you, Clara,

Dr. Fuchs is expected shortly.

And we cannot risk anyone,
not even him,

learning of our family shame.

Go and hide yourself in the garden
until I send for you.

Are you not a little old

- to be playing at soldiers?
- Whatever scheme you're plotting,

it will not succeed.

I have no scheme, Edward,

besides seeing that our child
is taken care of.

"Our" child?

You will tell my aunt
that the child is not mine.

I've gone to great lengths
to convince her I'm a changed man.

I spent five months sleeping
in a stinking tent, for God's sake!

I will not let you destroy
my reputation.

I'm not here to destroy you.

I had no expectation
of finding you here.

It is a complication
I could well do without.

- What do you want from me?
- Dear Edward,

I have already taken everything
I need from you.

What else do you have to give?

Nothing.

You're disinherited.

Is that not curious?

Your unborn child will likely be
a good deal richer than you.

Excuse me.

Mr. Parker.

- Are you quite all right?
- Actually, no.

I have lost an elephant.

So now I will look like

a man who cannot deliver
on his promises.

An unfortunate situation,
indeed, sir.

But from what I've seen,
there'll be plenty else on offer.

Nothing to rival an elephant.

The posters are, are on display
all over the county.

And, to make things worse,
it looks like it may rain.

Mr. Parker, I cannot provide
an elephant, but I do have

a rather unusual item which
could offer some excitement.

- I...
- Splendid news, Tom!

The day is saved!

Don't ask me how I managed it,
but I have secured for us

Danvers the Giant Horse

for our fair tomorrow.

20 hands high!

Not quite an elephant,
I suppose,

but surely the next best thing.

Thank you, Arthur.

That is much appreciated,
but...

Colonel Lennox has already
come to the rescue.

Is that not right, Colonel?

Indeed.

She's been wincing in agony

all morning.
And, against my advice,

insisted that we call for you.

I believe you have a severe
inflammation of the intestines,

- Lady Babington.
- Oh, poppycock!

It's those preposterous herbs!

Herbs, meine Dame?

They came from some
spurious crone in Melmead.

- She drinks them in tea.
- May I see?

Ja.

This is certainly

the cause of the discomfort.

I suggest you stop at once...
this will only

- make things worse.
- I cannot stop.

- They're the only hope I have.
- Nein.

Nein!

Not the only hope.

Perhaps I can prepare
a tincture, hm?

It is no guarantee,

but it has the advantage
over your herbs

that it will not kill you.

So you say.

I'll try it.

I'll try anything.

I am certain Mr. Lockhart
meant no offense by it.

You don't know
what it's like, Arthur.

To spend your whole life
being gazed at.

As a child,
I was seen as a curiosity.

Never allowed to forget
I was neither one thing nor the other.

Then I came to England,

my father's country,

only to see my difference
reflected in the eyes

of every person
I have since met.

So, it's simply the stare
I am used to, rendered palpable.

Oh, my dear Miss Lambe.

I cannot speak
to your experience.

I have spent my entire life
being...

overlooked.

Even by those closest to me.

But yet,

when I saw

his drawing of me, I...

I felt, well...

I felt seen for who I am, or...

Perhaps for who I'd like to be.

He asked me
how I would like to be seen.

I didn't know how to answer.

In my experience,
people see the world

through a particular set

of views and...

...prejudices.

But not Mr. Lockhart.

He sees things
with a rare clarity.

Perhaps this is what it means
to be...

an artist.

Mary thinks
he is not to be trusted.

Well...

Maybe Mary doesn't know you
or Mr. Lockhart

like I do.

Honestly, Mr. Colbourne,
I can look for Leonora myself.

I don't wish to put you
in any trouble.

It's a little late for that.

Besides...
I grew up on this land.

I know all the best hiding places.

You've no hope of finding her
on your own.

- Miss Heywood!
- Captain Fraser.

It seems there is
no escaping you.

What brings you to this spot?

I'm gathering flowers
to make a crown for the fair.

Ah, what a coincidence.

You do not strike me as a man
who would be interested in flowers.

And what kind of man do I
strike you as, Miss Heywood?

Typical soldier.

- Spartan. Coarse. Unrefined.
- And who would not seem

unrefined beside you,
Miss Heywood?

I am glad you know your place,
Captain.

Forever your humble servant,
Miss Heywood.

This way, Miss Heywood.

I suggest you go back
to the house, Miss Heywood.

- There's no need to stay out here.
- It's only a little rain!

It'd be a pity for you
to be struck by lightning.

Governesses, as we know,
are not easy to come by.

Mr. Colbourne?

Might I make an observation?

You've already made the observation.
You might as well share it.

It strikes me as curious that a man
might take such care of his horse

while taking pains
to avoid his children.

Augusta's not my child.

She's all too aware of that.

She thinks you consider her
presence here an intolerable burden.

Those were her exact words?

Well, she spoke them in French,
but...

yes.

There is no man alive I admire

as much as my father.

And yet the girls
hardly know you.

Perhaps in time, you'll come
to realize that's for the best.

Leonora.

You are discovered.

I shall leave her in your hands.

Try not to lose her again.

We're soaking wet.

How observant you are,
Miss Heywood.

It is a rare gift.

If only wars were won on
wit alone, Captain Fraser.

May I ask who
you are gathering flowers for?

If you must know,
they are for Colonel Lennox.

And I'm sure he will be
quite swept off his feet. -

Tell my brave Captain Carter
I will write to him.

He will be glad to hear it.

And there's still no word on

- what Sidney was doing in Antigua?
- Tom and I have both made inquiries.

But no one can shed any light,
except that it concerned my interests.

I cannot understand it.

The plantation was sold
on my father's death,

and I own nothing
besides my inheritance.

And your family?

My father was all the family I had.

What of your mother, Georgiana?

She died giving me life.

All I know is
from my father's account.

She was a woman of beauty
and grace, and he loved her.

It is all I have of her.

I do not know what to put.

Nothing I write expresses
the depths of my feelings.

Look what just arrived.

They must be from him.

Actually, they're for Charlotte.

They're from Colonel Lennox.

He requests

- my company at the fair tomorrow.
- Well, your attempts

to deter him have clearly been
a resounding failure.

What's the matter, man?
Couldn't sleep again?

Alison Heywood
has sent a letter

of soaring eloquence.

And worse still,
she's enclosed a poem.

And?

She will expect me to reciprocate.

The only poet I know is Handel.

Handel's a composer.

I cannot have her
thinking me a fool, Fraser.

All I want to do
is prove myself worthy of her.

Here.

These are my favorites...
I carried them with me

throughout my time
on the battlefield.

How did this assist you
on the battlefield?

It is not like you to lend
credence to idle gossip, Mary.

I'm only telling you what she said.
She was very emphatic.

There is no smoke without at least
an ember of truth, Tom.

If the Army have run up debts,
it'll be an oversight.

Their company's presence
can only enrich Sanditon.

Also, a permanent barracks

will mean a yearly government annuity
of five-and-a-half thousand pounds.

What are a few unpaid bills
beside that?

Don't you think
we should put the barracks

on hold until we've got a clearer
sense of who we are dealing with?

Nonsense, Arthur.

Really, I've no idea why you've
taken so against the colonel.

He's one
of the noblest men I've ever met.

Forgive me, brother,
I am sure you're right.

What do we call these ones?

Ooh, let me see.

- Those are...
- Agrostemma githago.

Corn cockle.

It's a common weed.

What about this?

Aquilegia vulgaris.

Columbine.

As you see, Miss Heywood,

there is little
you can teach me.

Where did you learn that?

My mother.

What was she like?

Pretty.

Kind.

Sad.

Why sad?

She had a twin.

Leonora's mother.

But...

after Aunt Lucy died...

It was as if my mother
lost half of herself.

Especially given
the circumstances.

What happened?

Nobody ever seems
to speak of her.

That is because my uncle
cannot bear to hear her name.

Father!

Look, it's Father!

Mr. Colbourne.

I won't disturb you.

- How is Hannibal, sir?
- Recovering.

Thank you.

He sends his regards.

Be sure to send him mine in return.

We are having a picnic,
Father.

And learning about wildflowers.

Say you will join us.

Please?

There is no need, Uncle.

I am certain that you would rather
do almost anything else.

I could spare a few moments.

Esther,

- it's time to leave.
- I think it better I remain behind.

Oh, I understand
your reluctance.

A fair by its nature is a distraction
for the lower orders.

Against my better judgment,

I've given all my servants
the afternoon off.

It's not that, Aunt.

I hardly think it wise
to leave Clara on her own.

Oh, as you wish.

Dear Esther, are you concerned
for my condition?

Not in the least.
I am concerned for my aunt's silver.

So...

what has Miss Heywood been
teaching you this morning, Augusta?

Not a great deal.

As you arrived,
she was asking about Aunt Lucy.

Miss Markham was saying her mother
and your late wife were close.

Yes, inseparable.

Aunt Lucy often used
to stay with us.

Somehow, she always
felt happier in London...

You were just a child, Augusta.
Your memories cannot be relied upon.

Perhaps she felt as I do.

- Trapped.
- We have discussed this.

You will be introduced
to society when you are ready.

When will that be, Uncle?

Since you seem so determined

to avoid the company
of those around you?

- When I'm 30?
- Miss Markham,

I'm sure your uncle only has
your best interests at heart.

Look, Father.

I found knapweed and...

Cornflowers.

Centaurea.

Centaurea?
That is a peculiar name.

They're named
after Chiron the centaur.

In the myth, he used them
to heal his wounds

from the poisoned arrows.

Do you really think

- that would work?
- I don't know.

Should we find some poisoned
arrows and put it to the test?

I would sooner not.

Cornflowers are my favorite.

Then you should have them,
Miss Heywood.

Thank you, sir.

I confess I cannot understand

why you see me
as a threat, Esther.

You have a wealthy husband
who loves you.

You have a vast estate.

And you have everything
a woman could want.

Whereas I am...

...penniless, friendless,

and carrying the child
of a man who despises me.

Oh, stop,
you'll bring me to tears.

It is the truth.

You don't know
the meaning of the word.

You are duplicitous
to your bones, always have been.

You are incapable
of empathy or love.

Nothing will convince me otherwise.

I shall be watching
you like a hawk.

And as soon as this child is born,

I will see to it that you
are thrown out.

I am sorry you think
so little of...

I am not prepared!

No!

No, I am not prepared!

- Thank you for your letter.
- Thank you for your letter.

- It was...
- Overwhelming.

Yes.

The very word
I was going to employ.

"I ne'er was struck
before that hour,

With love so sudden
and so sweet."

Will you not complete
the verse you sent?

I could not do it justice
as you have,

Miss Heywood.

Or, if I may...

Alison.

- William.
- Miss Heywood.

Is your sister
not able to join you?

I fear her employer
has kept her back.

We may have to delay the ascent.

Captain Carter, follow me.

- Captain Fraser.
- Miss Heywood.

Do I gather you are pleased
with Captain Carter's letter?

It is as if he can see
into my soul.

He is both a hero and a poet.

A hero?

He spoke of his brave actions
at Bidassoa.

Did he now?

Ah, Mr. Parker!

- Boycott sugar?
- No, thank you, Reverend...

Free our brothers
and sisters...

Well, Mr. Parker, where is
this fabled elephant?

I confess there's been
a slight change of plan, Lady Denham.

Do you mean to say you have lured
us here under false pretenses?

I assure you, milady,
you are about to see

the eighth wonder of the world.

Allow me to… escort you?

One moment.

Miss Lambe.

Still persisting with your
misguided sugar boycott, I see.

Hardly misguided.

The movement is gathering pace
across the country, Lady Denham.

It will change nothing.

Such decisions are made
in Parliament.

Not by naive young women.

In this matter,
Parliament has failed.

That is why we have taken
matters into our own hands.

I suppose you would
support such a cause,

- given your origins.
- And yet here I am,

the wealthiest woman
in Sanditon.

And where did
the wealth come from?

Are you not biting
the hand that feeds you?

This has been
the best afternoon I can remember!

What a tragically dull life
you must have led, child.

You've enjoyed yourself, too.

At one point,
I almost saw you smile.

That is quite impossible...
Augusta is incapable of smiling.

Oh, I must go.
I'm expected at the fair.

I wish we could go to the fair.

- We've kept you too long.
- Not at all.

Goodbye.

- Goodbye.
- Bye.

Until tomorrow, then.

Until tomorrow.

Stop being so dramatic...
you've proved your point.

Come on!

You would have to do this
while the staff are absent,

- just to spite me!
- I can go no further.

You cannot bear this child
on the stairs.

Given it was conceived
on the floor,

that would hardly be
an auspicious beginning.

Will you release my hand?

Oh, God, I hate you.

You are such a cold,
unyielding shrew.

And you are a scheming vixen.

My hand, you're hurting.

You do not know
the meaning of pain!

Oh, will you move?

Fine, if you refuse to move,
I shall leave you to it.

No, Esther!

Stay!

I cannot do this alone.

You do not know
what you're asking.

Esther, please.

Ladies and gentlemen!
May I bid you all the warmest

of Sanditon welcomes to this,

our Midsummer Fair!

It is our tradition each year

to have a special event.

But what you see
before you this afternoon

surpasses any attraction
in our long history.

What is that?

What is that? That, Miss Heywood,
is a military observation balloon,

intended, I believe,
to identify

enemy positions from aloft.

Mr. Parker is trying
to convince everyone

it is a circus attraction.

One can only be reminded
of the ambitions of Icarus.

Oh, dear.

Maestro!

_

Direct from the battlefields
of Europe,

a brilliant example
of British ingenuity and skill,

brought to you through
the generosity

of Colonel Lennox
and his brave soldiers,

here is your chance

to experience God's
own view of Sanditon.

A once-in-a-lifetime
opportunity.

Who would like to take
the maiden voyage?

I am not standing
in a basket tethered to a rope.

I'm agreeing with you.
I shall pass on the flying hamper.

Charlotte, here at last.

Oh, it's incredible.

Poor Tom. The colonel has
lent him this observation balloon,

but no one's brave enough
to go up in it.

What about you, sir?

Can I not persuade you
to be the first

to make an ascent?

You, sir?

You, sir?

What about you, sir?

I'll make the ascent!

My dear, you couldn't possibly.
It's too dangerous.

Don't worry, Mary.

Let the young lady pass.

Miss Heywood.

Welcome.

Colonel, do I have
your permission to go up?

I assure you it will give me
the greatest pleasure.

Well,

it's true, a woman
has made the ascent before.

Two, in fact,
by my knowledge.

Then let me be the third.

My, my dear girl,
I could not possibly allow it.

- Absolutely not.
- If Miss Heywood is first,

it's certain others will follow.

Private Markland,
I'll accompany her.

She'll be safe in my hands.

Are you not tempted,
Miss Lambe?

I prefer to keep my feet
on the ground.

Oh, I don't believe that.

I think you would soar
to the heavens.

It's your jailers
that keep you tethered.

Mary is not my jailer,
she's my friend.

Really?

Seems to me like
you're hemmed in on all sides.

I don't know how you can bear it.

_

It's like a dream.

I feel as if I were flying.

Is it too late to mention I am

not enamored of heights?

Fears are there to be conquered.

You are quite unlike any woman
I've ever met, Miss Heywood.

Mr. Parker?

Arthur?

Arthur!

It's Arthur!

Well done, Arthur!

Thank God for you!

You're a hero, Arthur!

It was bravely done!

I should tell you.

I think I have agreed
a truce with my charges.

And perhaps even
with their father.

Their father?

It seems Mr. Colbourne's

a better man
than I had given him credit for.

I believe he is just grieving
his late wife.

Well done.

Miss Heywood!

Gentlemen...

And even ladies!

Who would like
a ride to the skies?

Come along!

Oh, now, now, one at a time,
please... you, sir.

From the moment we met,

you have spoken to me
with candor.

I fear I have not repaid
the courtesy.

It's against my nature to impugn
another man's character,

but I must warn you

to be on your guard
against Mr. Colbourne.

Why?

Please, just take my word.

With respect,

you cannot warn me on such
strong terms without evidence.

Some years ago,

there was a young lady

who meant
a very great deal to me.

She had...

a fierce, bright spirit,
not unlike your own.

Her name was Lucy.

His wife.

Colbourne stole her from me,
Miss Heywood.

And then, for reasons
I do not comprehend,

he destroyed her.

I believe he needs his mother.
Will you take him?

Later, perhaps.

Yes!

You will paint my portrait,
on my terms.

If I am satisfied,

you may name your price.

I shall not rest
until we are both satisfied,

Miss Lambe.

Are you alone?

Yes.

Would you like to come in?

Good evening, Mr. Lockhart.

Dare I say it,
the best Midsummer Fair yet.

And you were the hero
of the hour, Arthur.

Ah, glad to be of service, Tom.

But for you, I might be
halfway to France by now!

Quite, although I have to say,
Colonel Lennox saved the day.

What are the shopkeepers
doing there?

There he is! Look!

Yes!

Gentlemen, madam,

I have the situation in hand...
yes.

Mr. Parker will talk to the colonel
on your behalf at the first opportunity.

- Yeah, yeah...
- All will be resolved.

Please... this has been

a great day for Sanditon.
And I can assure you

that all of your problems will be solved
when you understand one simple fact,

which… and, and I,
I give you my word,

I will explain in great
detail, uh, tomorrow.

No ,no, no !

Mr. Tom Parker!

What a triumph!

Edward.

- May we speak apart for a moment?
- Of course.

But first, can I tempt you

into another game
of hazard?

You must give me the chance
to recoup my losses.

It is a tempting proposition...

Come, let's celebrate
the success of the day, Parker.

We make a good team,
do we not?

What is the matter, Denham?

- You are not yourself.
- It seems I am to be a father.

That is surely cause
for celebration!

It may yet be.

I'm told you showed
great courage at Bidassoa.

Remarkable, given how...

...young you must have been.

- Fraser...
- She deserves better.

Set her straight.

I really thought your numbers
would come up, Parker.

I do not have a hundred
pounds to hand, Colonel.

Don't worry,
I know you're good for it.

Now...

what was it
you wished to discuss?

A personal tribute
from the colonel himself.

I'm not sure you've
come down to Earth since.

I'm still trying
to make sense of it.

Cornflowers?

Where did you find them?

Mr. Colbourne's estate.

I would presume Miss Heywood
to be a friend.

Would you, indeed?

I believe the right person
is out there for all of us.

Happily, I've found mine.

Is that my child?

I've had word
from my lawyer.

He's discovered what Sidney
was doing in Antigua.
