"Good sirs, I'm called Trimp the Rover."
"Of course I can pull logs. I could tow a log with both of you sitting atop of it, it I'd a mind to. But I'm feeling very slender today, owing to the fact that I've an empty haversack on my back, So, towing logs means payment in food."

FOR BONUS POLINWEEK
DAY ONE | Favourite Season 3 scene: The Butterfly ball
PART 2: THE COLOURS, THE FEATHERS, AND THE NUMBER 8
The Dankworth-Finch ball has several notable pieces in the venue.
That the ball was centred on the colours ORANGE AND PURPLE
The colour orange conveys feelings of warmth, joy, and confidence. It is also strongly associated with creativity.
The colour purple symbolises mystery, independence, and royalty. In the old days, only people from royalty can afford purple thread as it was rare and very expensive. The colour then became associated with the display of opulence and the wealth of the family.
The combination of Orange and Purple is associated with the colour of sunset.
2. That the venue had 8 COLUMNS and an 8 PIECE ENSEMBLE.
The platform had 8 columns and an 8-piece ensemble. The number 8 aside from symbolising infinity also symbolises stability often associated with financial power, prosperity, and karma.
3. That the centrepiece design is made up of OSTRICH FEATHERS.
The ostrich feathers are known to various tribes in East African cultures as a symbol of wealth and prestige.
All of the above alludes to wealth, status, and prestige which we all know is NOT the Featheringtons. But the Butterfly ball not only is a triumph for Philippa and Prudence but Pen revealing herself as LW, albeit a double-edged revelation, also adds prestige to this often ridiculed family. I know that Pen touched on how people might not so quickly forget how she as LW has ridiculed the ton but her being an ally (and a recognised) rival to the Queen gives her power that no one in the ton has.
I especially love the symbolism of the colours. Both colours perfectly describes who Pen is as both Penelope and LW. Then there is the fact that the combination of orange and purple is often associated with sunset makes me think that this is Pen closing the chapter of LW as her secret and going into a new dawn as Pen who has accepted herself fully as LW.
Say what you want about the Featheringtons or their redemption arc but I love that this happened because of Pen stepping out of the shadows. I especially love her recognising that she has more in common with Portia that she thinks that LW couldn't have come out of nothing. Portia-- who were both a suspect and a victim of her circumstances was the one who pushed Pen to do better. I want people to remember that the Butterfly ball wouldn't be what it became if not for Pen and Portia's confrontation.
I have no idea if the writers were very intentional with all these details but I just love learning what the meanings are behind them.
