Factual error: When Lucy and Charlotte are discussing the view from their rooms, Charlotte says they were to have South facing rooms with a view of the Arno and instead got North facing rooms without a view. Later when they have Rooms with a View - their view across the Arno faces North! The Duomo is on the north side of the Arno. (00:02:50 - 00:10:25)

Charlotte Bartlett: In my small way I am a woman of the world. And I know where things can lead to.
Question: Why did Cecil tell Charlotte to give him the sovereign? Wasn't he owed only 15 shillings by Freddy? A sovereign's 20 shillings so was he gonna give Freddy back the other 5 shillings? I don't understand, please explain.
Answer: He was owed 15 shillings and a pound (in those days) was 20 shillings. Since he was owed most of a pound, he thought, "just give me the pound and call it even." He wasn't going to give change.
