- Following another attempt on her life Victoria and Albert travel incognito to the Scottish Highlands to get away from it all, but the trip does not prove to be the romantic retreat she imagined.
- After an another attempt on her life Albert takes Victoria to the Scottish Highlands with a small entourage, staying with the Duke of Atholl. However they find the duke's entertainment, including a recital by a verbose poet, boring and formal, and they make their escape, sheltering from a storm with a crofter and his wife. Victoria delights in this freedom whilst Drummond, about to enter a marriage of convenience, and Paget enjoy their time together, unaware that courtier Wilhelmina Coke observes their passion, Meanwhile Ernest's attempts to woo the newly widowed Duchess of Sutherland, begin to bear fruit after an initial knockback.—don @ minifie-1
- Prince Albert might have saved Victoria's life if the next attempt on it by a political activist had been with a loaded gun, but agrees with PM Peel that military security must be increased grimly. Tired of living in a fortress, the royal couple soon longs for a holiday and accepts an invitation to the Highlands from the duke of Atholl, a realistic traditionalist. Their entourage enjoys the trip even more, especially Lord Alfred and Drummond, whose love is now sealed with kisses. Bored in the stuffy castle, the couple asks for a country trip on horseback, fishing and hunting, but sows panic by foolishly driving off alone, getting lost and finding shelter in a senior crofter couple's most modest but hospitable cottage home, without revealing their identity. Their rustic idyll ends when the host's and entourage's nightmare does by finding them.—KGF Vissers
