[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wish that if they were going to do an upstairs/downstairs season he just fell in love with an actual maid. Why does she have to be secretly noble, or whatever?[/quote]

The original book was setup like a Cinderella story.  Running away at midnight, loss of a clothing items, etc.  In the story of Cinderella, the family has some means but the dead father's daughter is made into a servant.

I don't remember if Sophie was illegitimate in the book. [b] In the show, she is.[/b]  [/quote]
Is she really, or is this only what the stepmother told her. I am not sure I believe it. I also don't believe her father left her penniless. That doesn't make sense and stepmom hid the truth, and poor Sophie never questioned the lie. [/quote]

The father introduced her to his new wife as "My ward".  Also her name is said over and over to be Sophie Baek.  His name was Viscount Li and although that could be a title, it appears to be his last name.[/quote]

During that scene, I felt like he was calling her his ward because he was trying to please the new wife. [/quote]

No. If he'd been trying to please her, he would have claimed the girl was the orphaned child of a distant relative, or the child of one of the servants. Saying "my ward" was a well understood euphemism for "my illegitimate child." He tried to avoid introducing her at all, actually, and skipped right over her as he was introducing servants.

The housekeeper and governess also warned Sophie to never call him "my father" before the new wife showed up, saying it would upset her. Everyone knew she was going to be surprised to learn about Sophie and would not want to be reminded that she was the Viceroy's daughter. But it's clearly an open secret and no one was confused about what was happening.

I wonder if they will ever reveal who her mother was on the show.[/quote]
