Episode 30.
- Nothing that has been said in this room tonight, or that remains to be said will go beyond these walls. Now, you ask for my advice. I am a young woman of superior intelligence and some education. I am not in full command of my emotions. What is worse, I have fallen in love with being a victim of fate. Enter a young god. Intelligent, good-looking. Kind. My one weapon is the pity I inspire in him. So what do I do? I seize my chance. One day, when I am walking where I have been forbidden to walk. I show myself to someone I know will report my crime to the one person who will not condone it, my employer. I then disappear under the presumption that it is in order to throw myself from the nearest cliff top. And then, in extremis I cry to my saviour for help.

- What in heaven's name are you talking about?!

- I spoke to Mrs Poulteney's housekeeper. She was at the dairy on the undercliff. The girl walked out of the woods under her nose. She wanted to be seen. Presumably to compromise you.

- Why should she want to harm me?

- Listen to me. I have known many prostitutes. I hasten to add, in pursuance of my own profession, not theirs. And I wish I had a guinea for every one of them I have heard gloat over the fact that the
majority are the victims of their husbands and fathers.

- But she is not a prostitute! Neither is she a... fiend.
- My dear man, you are half in love with her.
- On my most sacred honour, nothing improper has passed between us.
- I believe you. But let me ask you this. Do you wish to hear her? Do you wish to see her? Do you wish to touch her? You are not the first man to doubt his choice of bride. I will go to see the lady. I will tell her you've been called away. And you must go away, Smithson.
- Yes. I shall honour my vows to Miss Freeman.
- I know of a private asylum in Salisbury. Miss Woodruff would be kindly treated and helped, I assure you. Would you bear the expense?
- Yes. I would bear the expense.
