Why are you here, Francis? You've never believed in this cause. No one was ordered to this. We volunteered. You volunteered.
I was, in fact, ordered.
By whom? Not by the Admiralty. You were never Barrow's choice.
Keep Sir John safe and ensure his judgement. Those were my orders. It's what she asked me to do.
Lady Jane?
No. I don't owe her a bloody thing. Sophia.
Miss Cracroft? Miss Cracroft, who rejected you? Twice, as I heard it.
You discussed this?
Yes. Sir John discussed it with me. Well, he... Actually, he regretted how it had happened. Francis, he was burdened by it.
Burdened by the thought of a third attempt, no doubt.
That's why you're here. Good Christ, Francis.
Keep your pity. You're going to need all the pity you have for what's coming.
