![]() ![]() Judging by the Gentleman with the Thistledown Hair’s gob-open drooling at Arabella later in the episode, it looks as if Lady Pole may soon have to share the Gentleman’s fickle affections. ![]() Lady Pole: “I see no one … or rather, I see roomfuls of people and not a Christian among them.” She tries first to speak to Norrell and Lord Pole, then later to Arabella, whom she implores to return. Instead, she utters streams of almost poetic nonsense, like those weird spam emails. ![]() ![]() It appears that one of the elements of the enchantment of Lady Pole (the excellent Alice Englert), who gradually becomes more disturbed as the episode goes on, is that she cannot speak of it. “There was once a Christian named Julius Caesar … who landed in England and was met by three gentleman, all named John Hollyshoes …” – Lady Pole He has an angle, that chap, of that there should be no doubt. The wily Lascelles, meanwhile, appears to be in this for the long game, having already installed himself as the editor of the periodical The Friends of English Magic. You see? In his element, and persisting with this “Norrrrelle” foolishness too. Guest of honour, Mr Norrell (Eddie Marsan) Photograph: Matt Squire/BBC/JSMN Ltd/Matt Squire ![]()
