#Sanditon Look, there's another one! Well done, Miss Colbourne. And what do we do with our specimens, Miss Heywood? We shall examine them, like malacologists. This silly dress! I wish I could wear my short britches. They would be rather more practical. Father says it's unladylike.

#Sanditon Miss Heywood, you are to attend the mess dinner? I would not miss it for the world. Then I might be so bold as to request the first dance of the evening. ... I must insist you ladies leave the camp. ... Really, sir, have you no heart at all? None. Just a cold, hard rock in its place.

#Sanditon Are you sure this is wise, Miss Lambe? Or appropriate? I have had my fill of being told what is and isn't appropriate. ... Miss Heywood? Ladies, this is no place for a young woman. Let them stay a moment, Fraser. I am unharmed.

#Sanditon 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.

#Sanditon The Theatre Royal Sanditon! It, it is a wonderful idea, brother. 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.

#Sanditon Lady Babington! You appear to be our sole congregant for matins! ... 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.

#Sanditon Miss Markham's work, I assume? She is very... adept. On the contrary. I see several dropped stitches.

#Sanditon 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.

#Sanditon 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.

#Sanditon Ouch! Damn these needles! Miss Colbourne.

#Sanditon 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?

#Sanditon I've already worn Charlotte's good dress I will gladly lend you one of mine You are a true friend! I wish it was Captain Carter that had called. How am I to endure an entire day without seeing his face? I saw a pretty hat this morning. Perhaps you'd like to come and see it with me?

#Sanditon Captain Carter sends his regards and regrets he is unable to call in person. Captain Carter? Is he the soldier from the beach? Young, handsome? He is young. And it's not for me to say if he is handsome.

#Sanditon He is approaching the house in his uniform! Who? The soldier who saved me from certain death! I do not even know his name. Oh, it is you? Oh, a pleasure to see you, too, Miss Heywood.

#Sanditon Ladies. Mr. Lockhart. Why such a solemn demeanor on this fine day, Miss Lambe? I was in a positively joyous mood, Mr. Lockhart, until I saw you. Then I shall leave you to it, for fear of spoiling your mood any further.

#Sanditon She's a disgrace! You must try and be a little more restrained, my dear. ... Why are you so desperate to see me married? Society is not as kind or as welcoming as one would hope, Georgiana. As you know only too well.

#Sanditon You must learn to parry, Miss Heywood, if you want to survive this household.

#Sanditon Girls, you have met Miss Heywood. She is to be your new governess. Allow me to reacquaint you. My daughter Leonora and my niece Augusta. Pleased to see you both again. I trust you will show Miss Heywood more courtesy than you afforded her predecessor.

#Sanditon Ah! Miss Heywood, they haven't scared you away yet? Miss Heywood has only just arrived, Mr. Colbourne. Then I shall introduce you to your charges. Brace yourself.

#Sanditon Mr. Colbourne has asked me to tell you you will receive your monies 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...

#Sanditon Colonel Lennox has invited us to a mess dinner. Oh, I'm not dining in a tent!

#Sanditon 🎶

#Sanditon 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? ... 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.

#Sanditon Season 2, Episode 2. Miss Heywood. 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.

#Sanditon 🎶

#Sanditon Miss Heywood. You did not wait to hear my decision. There hardly seemed much point. The position is yours. Assuming you still want it? You start on Monday.

#Sanditon Mary! What is it, my dear? A letter arrived from our agent in Antigua. It seems that Sidney was not there to settle his own affairs. He was there for Georgiana.

#Sanditon You're alive, thank God.

#Sanditon Is this your carriage? No. But I am sure Lord Kingsley would not mind us borrowing it. Did you not speak of a desire to meet a soldier? You are wicked, Miss Lambe.

#Sanditon 🎶

#Sanditon I believe independence of spirit is something to be encouraged. Really? My brother and I had a governess who met independence of spirit with a leather belt. That's how I learnt to behave. Then I feel very sorry for you and your brother, sir.

#Sanditon You already met my daughter and my niece. Uh, yes, sir. And that experience was not sufficient to deter you? On the contrary. What did you make of them? Miss Colbourne has a keen imagination and Miss Markham a sharp wit. By which you mean they are respectively feral and insolent.

#Sanditon Mr. Colbourne, Miss Heywood is here about the governess position. ... Seven 15s? I beg your pardon? What are seven 15s? 105. The capital of Argentina? Buenos Aires. Do you play an instrument? The pianoforte, a little.

#Sanditon 🎶

#Sanditon 🎶

#Sanditon I thought you were coming here to spend time with me. To be my friend. ... I do not suppose it would help if I were to pay you? I could match whatever he offers. You know I could never accept. I don't want to be beholden to anyone. Not even you.

#Sanditon There is much excitement at the arrival of a company of soldiers, but I am altogether indifferent, since my thoughts are only of you, my husband, and our life to come. I do believe the sea air is doing me the power of good.

#Sanditon Denham. I must thank you for recommending Sanditon as a company outpost. Oh, honored to be of service, Colonel. And your aunt, was she pleased to see you? Exceptionally, sir. And to my great delight, my stepsister is currently her guest. So, it's been the happiest of reunions.

#Sanditon I think perhaps I should extend my stay. If you can bear my company for a few more weeks. ... I'm not ready to accept the doctor's opinion. And in all conscience, cannot leave you to the mercy of my stepbrother.

#Sanditon A governess? And for Mr. Colbourne, of all people? My dear Charlotte... I appreciate your concern, Mary. Think of our poor family. The shame you will bring to them. I see no shame in earning a living.

#Sanditon It has given me clarity. I've realized I can never again put myself in a man's power. It's not Ralph. Or Colonel Lennox. It is marriage itself.

#Sanditon Please do not be angry with me. I'm not. It was badly done, but I meant no harm by it. There are things you do not understand. I understand perfectly. You are still in love with him. Despite everything.

#Sanditon 🎶

#Sanditon Esther. I have nothing to say to you. My life has been quite empty without you in it. I know it's not what you want to hear, but it's the truth. All I want to hear is the door closing behind you.

#Sanditon I believe I am my best self, my truest self, when I'm with you.

#Sanditon And my apologies once again for Miss Heywood's abrupt departure. I hope you will not think too poorly of her. On the contrary. She has only risen in my estimation.

#Sanditon Believe me, Aunt, this was not by design. When I joined the regiment, I never dreamt the colonel would bring us here, of all places. A remarkable coincidence. I would never presume to ask your forgiveness. I do not deserve it.

#Sanditon That seems a price worth paying, given the life of an officer's wife is surely a great deal more exciting than that of, say, a farmer's wife. Would you not agree, Charlotte? That is beside the point, given I have no intention of becoming either.

#Sanditon 🎶

#Sanditon I'm sorry to call unannounced-- please. But I must know. The child that fell... Quite unharmed, I assure you, sir. Besides a small cut to her leg. I am heartily relieved to hear it, Miss Heywood.
