Bridgerton, Season 2

Queen Charlotte:
I yearn for someone fresh, someone unexpected, to turn this season on its head. That is what we need. There is no room for indifference. Apathy is a blight the monarchy simply cannot endure.

Lady Danbury:
Of course, Your Majesty. But remember, a young lady cannot be a diamond until you anoint her as such. So, if, for any reason, you do not find one among the candidates today...

Queen Charlotte:
Do you think she will return? We have heard nary a peep from Lady Whistledown since last season ended. Perhaps the writer came to her senses. Perhaps she realized taking on her Queen was a bad idea and she will never publish again.

Lady Danbury:
It is a convincing theory, ma'am.

Queen Charlotte:
Or she simply left for the country as the rest of us did in the offseason. Bored by the lack of any real gossip. You do know what that would make her, then? One of us.
