[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?
