Miss Lambe, I must confess

I noticed you

I wonder what it was
that caught your attention.

I want to give

A governess?

For Mr. Colbourne,

Colonel Lennox.

Forgive me.

The other day I spoke rashly.

You were honest.

It was refreshing.

Would that every young woman
spoke with such candor.

Thank you, Colonel.

But you'll have to excuse me.

You have an appointment?
I have a job,

as a governess.

Today will be my first day.

Then I wish you every success.

Though I'd venture you succeed
in whatever you put

your mind to, Miss Heywood.

Oh!

And you can expect
an invitation.

♪ ♪

All the agent could tell us
is that Sidney was in Antigua

on your behalf.

And yet he didn't think

to tell me he was going?

Or for what purpose?

Well, he didn't tell any of us.

We have written
to your father's employees.

But I'm afraid that it'll take
weeks to get a reply.

I shall make my own enquiries.

What can this mean, Arthur?

I am certain it's of
no cause for concern.

Sidney will have had
your best interests at heart.

Just as I do.

Well?

Colonel Lennox has invited us
to a mess dinner.

Oh.

Oh, I'm not dining in a tent!

Well, he's taken the
new Assembly Rooms.

will be there.

I can't help feeling,

Miss Heywood,
you're late.

We were expecting you
at 9:00.

Mr. Colbourne has asked me
to tell you

at the end of the month.

Although few governesses
have lasted that long.

The household is making wagers

as to whether you'll last
the week.

But I've a shilling says
you will, so for my sake...

Be assured, Mrs. Wheatley,
your money is safe.

Very little daunts me

Miss Heywood has only

Leonora?

Girls, you have met
Miss Heywood.

She is to be your new governess.

Pleased to see you both again.

I trust you will show
Miss Heywood more courtesy

than you afforded
her predecessor.

Augusta, what was your
last lesson?

Embroidery.

Actually, I thought
perhaps we...
Your books will have to wait,

Miss Heywood,
until you have taught them

how to behave like young ladies.

Reading is hardly unladylike.

As you can see, Leonora is in
dire need of a feminine hand,

while Augusta

lacks manners, civility,

or any of the qualities

that would make her
remotely marriageable.

Good luck.

You must learn to parry,

Society is not as kind

As you know only too well.

And your fortune
leaves you vulnerable.

A good marriage
will offer you protection.

Acceptance.

Ladies.

Mr. Lockhart.

Why such a solemn demeanor

What is your business, sir?

On behalf of Colonel Lennox,
I have the honor of inviting

the Parker household

to a mess dinner.

And the colonel

has expressly requested
the honor

of Miss Charlotte Heywood's
company.

I'm sure she will
graciously accept.

Oh, and, uh,

Captain Carter sends his regards

and regrets he is unable
to call in person.

Captain Carter?

I saw a pretty hat this morning.

Perhaps you'd like to come

Yes!

If you gently pull the needle
up and through...

Miss Heywood.

Yes, Miss Markham?

It is Miss Heywood, isn't it?

Yes.

Uh, then you are not married?

No.

Nor have you ever been?

No.

Then how is that you are
to ready me for a life

which you yourself
have quite roundly failed in?

That is like having a

riding instructor who has never
sat in a saddle.

Or a pirate

that's never gutted a man.

Hmm.

I have never been to France,

yet my French is more
than passable.

Ouch!

Damn these needles!

- Miss Colbourne.
- Do not give up.

See what I have made
just for Miss Heywood.

I do hope I have spelt
"spinster" right.

You see it is not a word

I am particularly familiar with.

Nor am I ever likely to be.

I do believe it is time
for luncheon.

Come along, Leo.

The governess takes hers
in the kitchen, of course.

Alone. But then again,

I suppose you are used to that,
poor, dear Miss Heywood.

♪ ♪

Esther.

Forgive me, I didn't expect
to find you here.

On the promenade or in Sanditon?

Either, if I'm honest.

And yet does it not feel like
fate that we should both

find ourselves back here
at the same time?

Fate played no part in this.

It's all a contrivance.

You're fooling no one,
least of all me.

What will it take to convince
you I'm truly repentant?

Try drowning yourself.

Miss Markham's work,
I assume?

She is very... adept.

On the contrary.

I see several dropped stitches.

You're not going to let her
get away with that?

I don't want to
punish her, Mrs. Wheatley.

I want to understand her.

Is it so hard to understand?

She's 18 years old
and not long orphaned.

And Leonora lost her mother,
too?

That was many years ago now.

We don't dwell on it.

Remember, girl,
I've a shilling on you.

Lady Babington!

You appear to be

our sole congregant for matins!

Oh, you will remember,
of course, my dear sister,

Miss Beatrice Hankins?

A pleasure, Lady Babington.

I cannot stay,

thrilling as matins sounds.

And, uh, how is married life?

Will, uh, Lord Babington
be joining us

during the summer months?

I do hope so.

It is not right for husband
and wife to be too long apart.

Not if they wish to bless
their home with children.

As the Psalms tell us,
"Children are an heritage

of the Lord."

"And the fruit of the womb
is his reward."

That is no concern of yours!

I forgot to mention
the charity darning circle.

Oh...

Lady Babington?

Lady Babington.

We are not well acquainted,

and I do not wish to presume...
You already have,

Miss Hankins.
Oh, forgive me.

But I am a Christian woman,
with Christian feeling,

and recognize when another
of my sex is in need.

Thank you.

I am in no need of your charity.

It is not charity I am offering.

I have heard tell
of a midwife of Melmead.

A Mrs. Potter.

She helps women who have

struggled, as I believe
you might be

struggling.

Well...

I have done my part.

Hm? Oh...

But this would require

a great deal of investment
and we cannot afford to gamble.

Speculators speculate!

That's what you have always
said.

Yes, that does sound like me.

We shall talk more of it anon.

But now I have promised
to give Colonel Lennox

a tour of Sanditon.

Come on, Arthur!

We are most honored
by the invitation, Colonel.

I cannot tell you
the excitement it has caused

amongst the women
of our household.

We have been made
so welcome by the town.

I hope the dinner
will go some small way

towards showing our gratitude.

Yes.

Now, if you look up there,
Colonel, you will see

we are just finishing
the Seaview Apartments,

and now we are considering

our next expansion.

We have been discussing
a theater.

I've been drawing up
grand plans:

a gilt proscenium, a balcony...

Well, well, yes,

at some future point, Arthur,
perhaps.

But right now, we cannot afford

to take any risks if we are to
repay Sidney's investment.

Sidney?

Our dear departed brother.

It was he that secured
Sanditon's future.

What a fine legacy,
Mr. Parker.

Thank you, sir.

Were Sidney here,
I am sure that you and he

would find much in common.

Some things.

Perhaps.

And he would want to
encourage you,

as I do,

to consider extending
your stay indefinitely.

I've been thinking further
on the idea

of a permanent barracks.

They would be rather more

Father says it's unladylike.

My mother says a woman
should dress appropriately

I'm not sure my father
would agree with that.

Is she still alive, your mother?

Yes, she is.

I don't miss mine,

Although Father doesn't even
like us to mention her name.

What do you remember of her?
Nothing.

She died when I was a baby.

You must miss her a little.

You can't miss

Of course you can.

Please.

I should very much like

Oh, that is just her manner.

She clearly holds you
in high esteem.

Perhaps you could convince her

I would forever be in your debt.

Oh, say no more, sir.

I shall make it my mission.

In the meantime,
you shall have to

content yourself with
a much less beguiling model.

I will not hear it.

You have a rare masculine
beauty, Mr. Parker.

Really, well, one snail...

One magnifying glass.

Would you like to see
our other specimens?

Tempting as that is,

I shall have to decline.

Forgive me,
I must have been unclear.

I thought I engaged you to make
a young lady of Leonora.

That is precisely

I am widening her knowledge.

She has no interest
in embroidery, sir.

And you see how engaged she is.

the first dance?

Thank you, sir.

Excuse me, Colonel, but I really

So, Miss Heywood,

how are you finding
your new job?

Thus far, highly rewarding.

You doubt me, sir.

You've previously spoken
with such candor.

It is strange to hear you
dissemble.

Miss Colbourne and I
are going to look for food

for her snails this afternoon.

Will you join us?

The charms of a simple farm girl
may work on a child,

but they do little
to enchant me.

Nor any potential suitor,
I should imagine.

Hmm, maybe that is why you are
condemned to such a loveless

and lonely life, Miss Heywood.

Well, one of the reasons.

I have known love, Miss Markham.

Hmm.

And let me guess, he ignored
your every simpering advance.

No.

I was loved in return.

But circumstances
conspired against us.

Then he died.

♪ ♪

Miss Markham,
our lives may seem worlds apart,

but I know what it means
to grieve.

♪ ♪

We are nothing alike,
Miss Heywood.

Tell me something.

Your parents.

A happy memory, perhaps.

I...

I used to play for them.

Lively tunes that would make
everyone laugh.

They would sing.

I could play for you.

If you'd like.

My Aunt Lucy's spinet
in the drawing room.

We can unlock it.

I should very much like that.

♪ ♪

Esther, if our aunt
can forgive me...

Well, that remains very much
in question.

I'm sorry,

desperately sorry,
for how I wronged you.

But ever since
my return to Sanditon,

I've done my best to prove
to you that I am reformed.

Does the colonel's word
count for nothing?

I barely know the man.

I know you all too well.

But you're not the same woman
that you once were.

Marriage has transformed you.

You carry yourself differently.

You have an assurance
that you never had before.

That's because I escaped
your influence.

I don't doubt it.

But the point is, if you can be

so utterly changed,

is it not possible
that I might be, too?

♪ ♪

Why is it kept locked?

You know Leonora.

She will have it destroyed
in an instant.

Seems it hasn't been played
in some time.

It's a bit out of tune.

My ear is not
refined enough to say.

Perhaps you could play
something.

I'm a bit out of practice.

Louder.

Stop.

Forgive me, sir, I...

This is locked for a reason.

Who told you you could play it?

Augusta, this has your name
written all over it.

No, sir... it was I.

I asked one of the servants
for the key.

What is the point in a spinet

if not to be played?

Leonora, what are you wearing?!

Miss Heywood said a woman
can dress for whatever

suits her purpose.

She says a girl can be whatever
she wants to be.

I have tried,
Mr. Colbourne.

And like those before you,
you have failed.

No, sir.

I shall not shoulder
that burden alone.

You told me I'm not here
to educate you,

but there is much
you have to learn.

Miss Colbourne lacks a mother
and also a father.

She lost the former to the grave

and the latter to his work.

And Miss Markham,

were she to let anyone in,
might become a woman

of lively intellect,

ready to step into society,
as you desire.

But who listens to her?

Who even speaks
in this house of silence,

this mausoleum?

So, this may be the last lesson
I teach in this house,

but it is decidedly
the most pertinent!

You wish to leave?

No, but I assumed...

Tomorrow, then.

Same time.

♪ ♪

It seems you owe me
a shilling, sir.

Why did you lie for me?

Why did you lie to me?

I wanted you gone.

To be replaced
by another governess?

Then another?

My parents have been replaced.

My home.

My whole life.

Then forge a new life.

A new path.

That is what I'm trying to do.

I didn't lie to you.

I did use to play
for my parents.

We did laugh.

And you shall again.

♪ ♪

What is it?

♪ ♪

Clara?

♪ ♪

I thought I'd made it
perfectly clear that you were

never to darken my doors again!

Throw her out!
No!

Aunt...

I have nowhere else to turn.

I have been used and abandoned.

That is no concern of ours.

Please!

I am with child!

Oh!

It is Edward's!

♪ ♪

So, who are you dreaming of?

Your strange new employer?

Or a certain colonel?

Alison.

What do you want from me?

Isn't it obvious?

He's both a hero and a poet.

Be on your guard

against Mr. Colbourne.

Just take my word.
