She tells Anne that she promised, from the very beginning of their courtship, to introduce her to the all the aristocratic women she’s been wooing and teaching from the inside of a whale carcass all these years, and now that the time has come, she’s leaving her here in this hotel to rot.

The only thing keeping her from making a complete scene is that there’s no one else around. Ann huffs and tells her wife she looks ridiculous with her hair up in curls and crosses her arms and scowls and grits her teeth and slumps down in her chair and tells Anne to pour her own feckin’ tea. The Walker-Listers have arrived in London, as planned, and ooooh Ann Walker is surly! Having learned absolutely nothing from the last time she was in London with Mariana Lawton, Anne has decided to visit all her fancy friends on her own and leave her companion back at the hotel. This Gentleman Jack season 2 finale recap contains spoilers.
