Having resisted his profligate father's financial demands Albert goes to the Royal Society to meet computer pioneers Charles Babbage and the poet Byron's daughter Ada Lovelace, inviting them to a palace function. Victoria is suspicious of her husband's admiration for Ada and calls in her old mentor, former premier Lord Melbourne, who advises her that the relationship is based solely on scientific interests. Victoria and Albert are further reconciled when she tells him that she is pregnant again whilst in the servant's hall a young thief convinces assistant dresser Miss Cleary that there is a ghost on the premises.
