0:10:00: BLACK BESS (feat. Highwayman Dick Turpin), Ch. 14:
- Dick brings Sir Theodore Houghton to the thieves’ rookery in an obscure house in Soho and they set up a sort of kangaroo court to “try” him. One of the other thieves gives evidence, he having once been Sir T’s law clerk until he was foolish enough to fall in love with the magistrate’s daughter. Naturally, Sir Theodore didn’t fancy the idea of his daughter marrying a lowly law clerk. What do you suppose he did about it? Well, we’ll find out today; but the fact that the clerk is now a wanted criminal and a member of the “family” might give you some idea that it was nothing good!
0:33:15: THE BLACK BAND, Ch. 14:
- We see Lord Lionel Brothersbane coming onto Lolota Vizzini, clearly he’s marked her out as his rebound girl. Then we cut to Lady Edith Merton in her boudoir at her rich husband’s Park Lane house. She’s sitting there feeling sorry for herself when Colonel Mephistopholes shows up. He says he’s there on Lord Lionel’s behalf; then, as if casually changing the subject to a wholly unrelated topic, he asks her if her new husband has gotten around to making a will leaving all his money to her. She says he has. He asks her if she would take one audacious step to free herself from this odious marriage and take her rightful place as marchioness of Willoughby … well … will she? We shall see. But I bet you can guess, if you’ve been following this story, what she will say.
