The Cutting Gazette

A little sound makes the scandal better. Try the music box or the bell.

“Or are you planning to offend every girl until there are none left?”

Benedict BridgertonAnthony BridgertonS2 · E1 · 00:46:31

What it sounds like

Will you keep insulting women until none are left to marry?

What it really means

“Your rude, dismissive behavior is driving away every potential wife and sabotaging your search for a match.”

Said today

“Are you going to insult every woman who might date you until you’ve got no options left?”

What was happening

Benedict says this after Anthony criticizes the women their mother introduced him to. The teasing lands because Anthony has been tasked with finding a wife but is clearly alienating his prospects.
