S01E02 The Mistress and the Maids
Episode Overview
In June 1904, a painter tasked with creating a portrait of Lady Marjorie finds himself drawn to Sarah and persuades her to model for him. The resulting artwork, featuring Sarah alongside her roommate, has a suggestive quality. When the Bellamys come across the painting at a public exhibition, they misinterpret it as evidence of "questionable behavior" and promptly dismiss both girls from their positions.
