Rank 5: Sophie and Benedict are less heroic
What happens in the series? After Sophie has been banished from home, she finds work with the Cavender family. There she witnesses a terrible incident. Phillip Cavender and his friends corner another maid and evidently want to violate her. Sophie intervenes and thus becomes the new target of Cavender. Before anything worse can happen, Benedict appears and confronts Cavender. However, he ends up getting injured.
Due to this injury, Sophie and Benedict later have to stay at the country house until Benedict recovers.
What happens in the book? Even in the book, there is an unpleasant encounter with Phillip Cavender. However, there is no other maid. Thus, Sophie heroically helps no one. Instead, she is directly attacked by Cavender.
When Benedict arrives, he intervenes just like in the series. However, there is no fight, and Benedict is not injured either. The reason why the two later stay at the country house is a normal illness.
The basic processes remain the same. However, due to these small differences, a slightly different dynamic develops between Sophie and Benedict. Since Benedict was not injured while protecting Sophie, she does not feel as responsible for his condition. At the same time, the direct attack from Cavender weighs more heavily on her, which in turn affects her relationship with Benedict.
