Good evening, your Grace.

How was your journey?

Did you enjoy your time with your family?

Oh, not a lot has happened
during your absence, I'm afraid.

It's been quiet.

Except, perhaps, the scandal caused by
Lord Richmond during the spring fair.

I thought you might enjoy a warm
bath to relax after your journey.

Everything's ready. Or almost. I was
waiting for you to add the final touches.

Oh, I've prepared your bathing chemise.

It is made of the most delicate linen,

very comfortable, so it won't
be too heavy in the water.

Would you like to change now?

Let me help you with this cape.

There.

The hazards of traveling on horseback.

I will brush that. May I prepare your bath
fragrance while you're changing, your Grace?

Any preference tonight?

Let's see what you have
in your scent chest.

Ah yes. The spring fair.

The most scandalous thing happened

you know the countess of Whitethorn
recently remarried

after her husband died on the battlefield.
Well, she was walking through the fair with

her brand new,

some would say very young husband

when lord Richmond suddenly bursted
in and claimed that she had promised

to marry him, in front of
everyone. Can you imagine?

And to prove his statement,

he waved one of her handkerchieves she
no doubt gave him a few months before

so everyone could see.

And so the new husband has
challenged him to a duel.

They will fight tomorrow, although
everyone knows it's strictly forbidden.

Isn't that romantic?

Oh, yes. The perfume.

So, what about sandalwood with bergamot?

Lavender then?

Lavender.

I'm just going to put a few
drops of each and mix them.

What a lovely fragrance.

This is so relaxing.

I will put some drops on a lavender
bag before placing it in the tub.

Herbs bags are of the latest
fashion in court, did you know?

I've heard that madame Montrouge
uses them all the time in her bath.

The French are so refined.

And it's ready.

Are you ready, your Grace?

Is the chemise comfortable?

I had it made specifically for you.

Let me tie this ribbon here.

And same at the back.

There. Please enjoy the warm water.

Oh, I forgot to tie and protect your hair.

You may not want to have it wet
tonight. I'll be back quickly.

First, let's use a hair band.

Please hold still.

Good. And now let's put a cotton cap on.

Here we go.

No hair out.
You can lean against the tub.

Would you like to drink something?

Hot cocoa? Yes, I can bring you that.

There were also a few letters,
I will fetch them.

Your Grace,

how's the temperature? I can
add more hot water if you'd like.

No? Good. How's the donkey's milk fee l?

Oh, it will make your skin very soft.

Oh, I borrowed something for you as well.

These are cupping glasses.

Madame Montrouge's maid lent them to me. It is
very popular in Germany and Switzerland.

That's where they brought this set from.

Have you heard of them?

It's so pretty.

Oh they are very beneficial
for the blood circulation

and to get rid of any evil that
might crawl under your skin.

Oh, that's what is told anyway.

Would you like to try them?

It's entirely painless.

Madame Montrouge sleeps like a
baby every time she's using them.

Lovely. I will just need to see your back.

I will open your chemise a little bit.

You can slightly lean on your elbows
against the edges of the bath if you'd like.

Just the ribbon here.

Good. Let's start.

I will not keep the flame in for very
long, so it shouldn't pull the skin a lot.

One. I will slightly massage the back
before leaving them for a few minutes.

How does it feel? I wish I
could try these on my own back.

Two.

Three.

Four.

One last?

Your Grace? It's been long enough.

I'm going to remove them. Is it alright?

Good. Hold still.

One

Two.

Three.

Four.

And five.

While you're finishing your
cocoa, I'm going to fetch a towel.

Are you ready to come out?

Let me rub your back and arms.

It will continue to stimulate
your blood circulation

and help getting rid of
the cup's marks faster.

You will also feel even more relaxed

especially after spending the
entire day on horseback.

The other...

Would you like to put on a dry robe?

I picked the muslin robe,
the light one, your favourite.

There.

So many ruffles.

I'm just adjusting it.

Good, the other arm.

Perfect. Now would you like to
lie and rest a moment?

Good. Let me fluff your pillows.

I'll draw the curtains and leave you.

Enjoy your rest, your Grace.
