He couldn’t marry anyone until his prescribed period of mourning was completed, but that didn’t mean he couldn’t look. Please do not hesitate to write if there is anything I can do to ease your pain at this difficult time. After some reluctance, Marina accepted. It was time to take her life into her own hands, time to control her destiny, rather than attending ball after ball in the vain hope that the perfect man would suddenly materialize before her, never mind that there was never anybody new in London, and after a full decade out in society, she’d already met everyone of the appropriate age and gender to marry. He needed a wife. Sir Phillip was obviously enjoying the correspondence as much as she; surely he wouldn’t have finished his missive with a question, otherwise? Young, but good. Perhaps this is a given considering we’re due to meet Kate, but I would personally die if we … Miles Carter, his secretary, was poking his head in. However, when she later learned she was still pregnant, she accepted Phillip's proposal and left in a carriage with him. He supposed he shouldn’t be upset, or even surprised. Phillip smiled to himself as both men paused to enjoy the sun for a few moments longer. Marina had spent her entire life, or at least the entire life he’d known, melancholy. Lately she hadn’t been feeling so sunny. The Bridgertons were a large family, loud and boisterous. I could not help but notice your facility with the flower’s scientific name. If he could just get his boots on in under a minute, he could be out of the house before they inflicted too much more damage, and thus he could pretend none of it was happening. He lifted the glass to his lips, letting the final drops slide into his mouth. The eldest sibling of the Bridgerton family … And what did he know about her? Maybe she had been too picky, too determined to follow the example of her older brothers and sister, all of whom had found a deep and passionate love with their spouses (even if it hadn’t necessarily been there at the outset). He hadn’t seen his children yet today, and he supposed he ought to, but he didn’t want to spoil the day by saying something stern, which he inevitably seemed to do. “Marina?” he asked urgently, lightly slapping her face. He may not have loved her, but he did not want her death. He never minded too terribly when his experiments did not produce the expected outcome. Miss Bridgerton deserved a reply. Not completely, of course. He started walking toward her, his feet somehow recognizing what his mind refused to accept. But it did. She had been intrigued by Sir Phillip’s reply, especially his use of the Latin, and she had immediately penned her own response. He could have been landowner and city gentleman, after all. He’d find them while they were off on their nature walk with Nurse Millsby. Then she began to suck in air, her lungs forcing her to live, even when her soul desired something else. It had never occurred to her that she’d always be a spinster, and besides, she enjoyed her life quite well. That one sounded even worse. No reason, really, except that they weren’t…. This one is geranium pratense, more commonly known as the meadow cranesbill. Other Bridgerton season 2 cast members may include: Golda Rosheuvel as Queen Charlotte You know you hate the greenhouse, anyway.”, “Not this time of year,” Miles said. “I hope she’s happy,” Oliver finally said, his voice more resolute than his expression. They craved her company, even when she did nothing more than pat them on the head. Phillip entered his greenhouse and shut the door behind him, taking a welcome breath of the moist air. Once Eloise got her claws into an idea, not even the full force of the Bridgerton family could sway her from her intended goal. Miss Bridgerton was eight and twenty, however; quite obviously a spinster. But somehow the young secretary just made him feel worse, and so he’d sent him on his way, along with six month’s pay and a superb letter of reference. Not near the abandoned cottage, nor at Phillip’s field of experimental grains, nor at the large boulder that Phillip had spent so many hours clambering upon when he was a child. It was thoughtful of you to take the time to write to a gentleman you have never met. Forgive me if I am too bold, but I am writing to invite you to visit me here at Romney Hall. A flash of red. Alive Anthony would have probably demanded that Sir Phillip come to London to meet the entire family en masse, and Eloise couldn’t imagine a single scenario more likely to scare off a prospective suitor. The seeds could wait. Phillip was happy to see her out in the sun. He could be back at the nursery before the children set out with Nurse Millsby. The Bridgerton Netflix series introduced a number of new characters. No luck yet, though. He probably ought to take care of his correspondence now, but he had some seeds he needed to sort through, and truly, there was no reason he couldn’t conduct his business with Miles in an hour or so. Her four brothers were all big, strong men, with broad shoulders and large hands that would surely mangle the poor thing in a heartbeat. She’s here to see you, after all.”, “So are all of our callers, and that has never stopped you from ascertaining their identities before.”. He’d said quite a lot over the course of a year’s correspondence–. Or even as woozy as he wanted to be. Willow bark contains the same active ingredient as aspirin and is indeed quite useful in reducing a fever. Maybe it was all she had wanted all along. Back to work. And because she’d never actually met him, she’d been able to create him in her mind, using his letters as the bones and then fleshing him out as she saw fit. Now the poor man would be forced to respond again. How was it that he’d never noticed this before? He sat in their nursery, his large frame too big for any of their tot-sized chairs. They visited their mother in her room almost every evening, but it wasn’t enough. Back to work. Bridgerton… Bridgerton. But it was difficult to talk about these feelings with anyone. I hope you feel the same. Something about the correspondence was thrilling; perhaps it was simply the excitement of finding someone not related to her who actually seemed eager to conduct a written dialogue. Nor even a whiff of interest. She just needed someone perfect for her. And now here she was, rolling toward Gloucestershire, rolling toward destiny, she supposed –or hoped, she wasn’t sure which– with nothing but a few changes of clothing and a pile of letters written to her by a man she’d never met. Modern Music. Besides, Eloise didn’t think it fair to bother her with her silly woes. Age: 30. She had seemed the perfect solution to his problems.

She had a tendency to talk too much (Good God, had she really put that into writing?). There are any number of ways that Bridgerton could give Marina a better story than having her suddenly die so she’s out of the way for Phillip and Eloise to fall in love. “I’m not going away. Named one of the six best original mass market paperbacks of 2003 by, #8 bestselling romance of 2003 at Amazon.com. He dove down, his eyes scanning the murky water. He tried to tell himself that he was doing his best, that he was succeeding in what was his only goal when it came to parenthood– that he not behave in the manner of his own father. And she’d been corresponding with a complete stranger for over a year; surely she was a little desperate? I loved the art—the pack of letters bundled by a ribbon is perfect for the book— but the postage stamp was a huge anachronism. No one could even form a mild but lasting attachment, which Eloise thought she might actually be willing to settle for this go around. Eloise fought a bubble of nervous laughter. Although it has been many years since I last saw Marina, I remember her fondly and was deeply saddened to have heard of her passing. He tried, but then he felt too awkward, too big, too strong if such a thing were possible. “Are you going to go away?” Amanda asked, raising her head. And although everyone penned a short note in reply –she was a Bridgerton, of course, and no one wanted to offend a Bridgerton– never had anyone enclosed a gift, even something so humble as a pressed flower. Marina must have kicked up some of the sand from the bottom, and he had surely done the same, because the fine silt was swirling around him, the puffy opaque clouds making it difficult to see. If the moon had suddenly dropped from the sky and landed in her back garden, Eloise could not have been more surprised. Mrs. Hurley gave him a look that was somehow dubious and sympathetic all in one, and he knew that she knew the truth. Naghwe • She/Her • 23 • Taurus • INTJ. He supposed it could have been worse. Phillip had carried Marina home as quickly as he was able, and with the aid of Mrs. Hurley, his housekeeper, they had stripped her of her icy garments and tried to warm her beneath the goosedown quilt that had been the centerpiece of her trousseau eight years earlier. “No,” he whispered fiercely, kneeling before her and taking her tiny hands in his own. She had shooed him out of the room once they had Marina in bed, insisting that he change his own clothing before he caught his death as well. Francesca had been widowed, for heaven’s sake. Marina Thompson (fiancée) She must have done, if one of them was sending him a letter. He muttered several annoyed phrases as he thrust his legs into his rough, woolen trousers. Bridgerton Sir Phillip Crane (2020) Actor The Witcher Rience (2021) Bridgerton is an American streaming television period drama series created by Chris Van Dusen and produced by Shonda Rhimes.It is based on Julia Quinn's novels set in the competitive world of Regency era London's ton during the season, when debutantes are presented at court.Bridgerton is Shonda Rhimes's first scripted Netflix series.. Bridgerton premiered on Netflix on December 25, 2020. Eloise was happy for Penelope. “It’s perfect,” he murmured. He’d lived with Marina since the day of their marriage. After her passing, Sir Phillip offers a hand in marriage to Eloise Bridgerton via correspondence. His children could probably wait, too, but that didn’t mean they should. As she stepped into the shallows, he picked up speed, still too far to do anything but call out her name. Forgive me if I am too bold, but I am writing to invite you to visit me. She had traveled to Scotland, but that was all. “Never thought you’d feel the likes of that on your skin again, eh, Sir Phillip?”, Phillip Crane turned his face to the sun, closing his eyes as he let the warmth spread over his skin. Phillip opened his mouth to point out that they did have callers; there was one downstairs that very moment, but really, what was the point? The thought of sinking into sadness, of being like her…. This way, she still had the chance to back out at any moment. How could someone like that possibly offer useful advice to one in Eloise’s position? But that didn’t mean that their marriage hadn’t left a hollow spot in her life. Accidents. I’ve noticed a lot of the fandom treats Phillip as if he’s lesser than and undeserving of Eloise which angers me to no end because why? But he knew from experience that he ought not make assumptions about Marina’s state of mind. He looked into her eyes, so blue, so like her mother’s. He barely knew how to be a father to them; how in hell was he meant to take on the role of mother as well? He mopped her brow when she began to perspire, tried to pour lukewarm broth down her throat when she was calm. Maybe… Maybe… He closed his eyes and sighed. That was the problem with butlers who’d worked for the family since before one was born. From there, she needed only to walk to the corner, where she’d arranged to have a hired coach waiting. #phillip crane #phillip x eloise #bridgerton spoilers #bridgertonedit #bridgerton #eloise x phillip #to sir phillip with love #julia quinn #requested #bridgerton netflix #mine #my edit. Shouldn’t they be on lower beds? Obviously she wanted something more; else she would have had the courtesy to at least write back and decline. “I don’t,” Phillip said, striding along with the confidence of a natural athlete. “Curse it,” he muttered. It must be Marina.Red was her favorite color, something that he’d always found odd. More than anything. “Are you calling my ancestral home drafty?”. Chris Fulton I am writing to express my condolences on the loss of your wife, my dear cousin Marina. I offer you this pressed flower as thanks. He’d received precious few condolence notes since Marina had died. He skidded and stumbled down the hill leading to the lake, then had just enough presence of mind to yank off his coat and boots before diving into the freezing cold water. He wanted an explanation, needed one, for this awful tiredness that seemed to be taking over. They are setting up a whole plot line which will payoff once we get to that book in the series. Amanda nodded her agreement, her little blond head bobbing up and down. “I think so,” Phillip whispered. After hearing that his brother, George, had gotten Marina Thompson pregnant and then left for battle, where he died, Phillip came to the Featherington house, where he knew he could find Marina, and told her about his brother's death. It wasn’t like they were used to receiving callers even during reasonable hours. At the end of Bridgerton season 1, episode 8, “After the Rain,” Marina leaves London with Phillip Crane after accepting his proposal — but the story isn’t set in stone. But then she started thinking… and wondering… and before she knew it, she was in a hired carriage in the middle of the night, on her way to meet the man she hoped might be her perfect match. Truly, she was. Eloise Bridgerton And .... Last but certainly not least is the spunky Eloise Bridgerton, who has no … She frowned, looking back at the paper in her lap. “Are you unwell, Gunning?”. More intriguing by the day, frankly, as she grew more and more restless, more dissatisfied with the lot in life that she had to admit she’d chosen. What did she know about this man, really? “Marina!”. And in truth…. That would be even more beneficial than a nature walk. One didn’t reach the age of eight and twenty without hearing that whispered behind one’s back. She had brown hair (chestnut, really) and all of her teeth. “We don’t have callers, sir,” Gunning finished, quite clearly winning the conversational battle. She’d end up a spinster– no, they didn’t say that anymore. And the worst part –the part that left Eloise wracked with guilt– was thatshe’d never given a thought to how Penelope might feel if she married first, which, in truth, she’d always supposed she would do. I really like that they pulled that story line early in the series, I think it will make things more impactful when we get there. It is naught but the simple red campion (silene dioica), but it brightens the fields here in Gloucestershire, and indeed seems to have arrived early this year. Phillip Crane is Sir George Crane's brother, who traveled to England to inform Marina Thompson of his brother's death and to offer his hand in marriage in replace of his brother. Siblings Eloise’s brother! He hadn’t realized that they had heard Marina’s sobs. It was too soon, of course. She told herself it was because she wanted to keep her options open, but the truth was, she was quite simply terrified, and she had feared a total loss of her courage. He had attended Cambridge and studied botany. A smile, at least once a day. In his opinion, necessity had never been the mother of invention. He looked down at his glass of whiskey, which was, quite inexplicably, empty. It had been almost four years since Eloise had walked down the aisle of the chapel and pledged her troth to Sir Philip Crane. Nurse Millsby wasn’t likely to locate any sort of flower in this weather, but still, it didn’t excuse the fact that he ought to take the children on their nature walk. “But just because I don’t mind an overcast sky doesn’t mean I don’t prefer the sun.” He paused, thought for a moment. A caller? How dare she refuse his rescue? Now she couldn’t even remember why she’d refused some of them. (And the Bridgertons constituted a mighty force, indeed.) “She gets to watch you all the time now from heaven, so she must be happy.”, The twins seemed to consider that for quite some time. Maybe he should know these things. Lately she’d been starting to think that maybe those crotchety old matrons were right, and she wasn’t going to find herself a husband. “It isn’t spring, though,”, “If you were wishing for spring, sir, perhaps you should have consulted a calendar.”, Phillip regarded him with a sideways glance. “Yes,” Phillip ground out, wondering if Gunning was trying to see how red in the face his employer could get without actually collapsing to the floor in an apoplectic fit. But when he smiled… and when he kissed her… the rest of the world simply fell away, and she couldn’t help but wonder… could this imperfect man be perfect for her? Through the post? She supposed that when she’d been considering her life as a spinster, and trying to convince herself that it was what she really wanted, Penelope had always been there in the image, spinster right beside her. It wasn’t that she’d forgotten; rather, she’d sort of… pushed the task aside until it was too late. He rather liked Miles. Phillip rubbed it between his fingers. Her mother had spent so many years urging her to find a husband; as much as Eloise adored her, it would be difficult to eat crow and say that she should have listened. He told her to fight, even though he knew his words fell on deaf ears. She supposed she should have talked to Daphne, but every time she went to see her, her elder sister was so bloody happy, so blissfully in love with her husband and her life as mother to her brood of four. It was sneaky of her to end her letter with a question. They led down the slight incline and out of the woods, then onto a grassy patch. “It’s not as cold as that. Not even a little bit. No one had come to visit in nearly a year, since the neighbors had finished making their obligatory condolence calls. “Thank God.” He didn’t love her, had never really loved her, but she was his wife, and she was the mother of his children, and she was, deep down, beneath her unshakable cloak of sorrow and despair, a good and fine person. The first sunny day in what had it been—six straight weeks of gray skies, accompanied by the occasional sprinkling of light snow or rain? She blinked, her eyes unfocused. “I can’t,” she whispered, with what seemed like her last ounce of energy. He frowned. He hadn’t wanted to use the main entrance, where he might be seen by his children, and besides, the kitchen door was closer by a good forty yards. Phillip rubbed his eyes. But in the end, Marina was saved by her one colorful quirk, and Phillip pumped through the water, down to the bottom where he saw the red of her cloak floating through the water like a languorous kite. “Surely a sound basis for marriage,” she muttered to herself, trying to ignore the panic in her voice. “Was that the source of the, ah…”, “No.” The butler cleared his throat. A single sheet of paper slipped out. Sir Phillip Crane knew that Eloise Bridgerton was a spinster, and so he’d proposed, figuring that she’d be homely and unassuming, and more than a little desperate for an offer of marriage. Her mother was a delight, and she’d even stopped nagging Eloise about getting married. In the books, Sir Phillip Crane is the love interest of Eloise Bridgerton. They tended to think highly of sarcasm. He sighed, a wave of guilt washing over him. Still, their nurse was up there with them, and she always managed them better than he did. “Please don’t. Indeed I am a botanist, trained at Cambridge, although I am not currently connected with any university or scientific board. Meanwhile, Sir Philip Crane, the brother of Marina’s lover, arrives to say George has died in combat. Sir Philip is the hero in the 5th book, To Sir Philip with love. No one deserved it more. “Marina?”. I have enclosed another flower for you. Phillip turned around and headed out toward the copse, where he’d seen Marina disappear just a few moments earlier. She had left home and all that was familiar, after all. He had a home, a respectable fortune, and was only thirty years of age. But then the impossible had occurred. It was common courtesy, or even if it wasn’t (and Phillip was quite certain he didn’t know the full etiquette of one’s wife dying), it still somehow seemed like the right thing to do. And so one day, after she’d gone to visit Penelope, only to be informed by the butler that Mr. and Mrs. Bridgerton were not able to receive visitors (uttered in such a way that even Eloise knew what it meant) she made a decision. Maybe they never had. He then offered his own hand in place of George's, to provide for Marina and her child for the rest of their lives. He was rather disappointed that Miss Bridgerton had obviously decided he was some sort of deranged lunatic to be avoided at all costs.
