“His lordship is a child!”
Violet BridgertonAnthony BridgertonS2 · E3 · 00:30:27
What it sounds like
Anthony is a child, not an adult.
What it really means
“He is too young and inexperienced to make this decision, and the doctor should listen to Violet instead.”
Said today
“He’s just a kid—stop treating him like he gets to decide this.”
What was happening
The doctor asks Anthony to choose whether Violet or the baby should be saved. Violet objects to being excluded, insisting she is Anthony’s mother and the person giving birth. Calling him a child challenges the doctor’s deference to his title and authority.
