“My, my,” Francis returns, unable to resist the quip and hoping that James does not notice the new threadiness in his voice. “What shocking language for a young lady.”

James turns an arch look upon him even as he is trembling. When Francis gives the first thrust, James’s mouth falls open and his eyes shut. “Good Christ.”

“Good?”

“More.”

FITZJAMES: It’s all vanity. It always has been. And we are at the end of vanity.
CROZIER: Then you are free.

#I love this scene so much despite how much it makes me wince because it’s like your CLASSIC period drama dialogue turned inside out #he’s doing the full romantic male lead ‘my means are meagre but i will make my fortune at sea and come back for you; this i vow’ spiel #but instead of looking adoringly up at him and telling him to be careful and that she will wait she’s just puncturing him at every turn #it’s like the one scene where he arguably has NO genre awareness and thinks he’s in a WAY different story than he actually is #and sophia is just there like ‘there will not BE a Persuasion ending you stupid slut’ (via @explorersaremadeofhope)
