[Petronella] Every woman is
the architect of her own fortune.
(music) (man speaking outside)
-This is Petronella, she is the Seigneur's new wife.
- [Petronella] I have now been in Amsterdam for over a week.
The city is a glory like nothing I have every experienced.
It made my heart race.
- Seigneur, I see you are working your usual magic.
- [Johannes] A wedding gift for you.
- [Petronella] What is it?
- [Johannes] A house, your house.
- (delivery man) A package.
- [Petronella] Just some things
for the cabinet you bought me.
(string music)
(gasp)
Things can change.
- Where did you get these?
- A miniaturist.
- What did you tell them?
- Nothing.
- [Man] How did the know what to make?
- [Petronella] This is witchcraft.
- How dare she send you things like this.
- [Petronella] Hello?
- [Woman] What else does she know?
- [Petronella] Wait! (string music)
Do you swear never to speak of this to a soul?
- My place is to protect this house
and all in it, including you.
- [Man] Neighbors watching neighbors.
Twisting ropes to bind us all.
- You should stay.
- I can go wherever I want.
- Don't play with fire, Petronella
or you'll get burned along with the rest of us.
- [Petronella] Tell me Johannes, how does this end?
