00:00The End
00:30Come on, my face!
01:00Yes, I'm here.
01:12Don't you be telling tales to your mamar.
01:14Oh, wait till them boys are all mad.
01:16I'll lay them about the ears.
01:17I warrant you being vermin.
01:19I do declare I quite dread Saturdays.
01:21Tom and Charles all over the house, banging of doors.
01:25Do you go to the post?
01:26Yes, or not.
01:27There was no letter.
01:28Why, it is almost four weeks now since the boys saved.
01:31Oh, I'm sure mamar William will write as soon as ever he can.
01:33And Sam besides.
01:35Mama, Rebecca has dropped the bowl and all the curds are gone.
01:38And where are Tom's trousers that were to be mended to be sure I put them in these drawers?
01:43They're done already, mamar.
01:45Susan brought them to me last night.
01:47Shall I put them in his room?
01:48Well, yes indeed, Fanny, for he must wear them, you know, tomorrow being Sunday.
01:52What has Rebecca been about?
01:55The breakfast thing's not cleared away yet.
01:57Upon my soul there was never such a servant and nobody so vague as I.
02:01But things have come to such a pass in Portsmouth that she'll be gone before long.
02:05Indeed it is quite a miracle to keep a servant more than half a year now.
02:10Why, Betsy!
02:12Have you Susan's knife again?
02:14Put it away!
02:15You know how cross Susan will be with you.
02:17To be sure, I told her I had hidden it.
02:26Susan, here are three volumes of Mr. Henry's history from the circulating library.
02:32And when we've read these, there are three remaining that I was obliged to leave behind.
02:37Was there no letter from cousin Edmund at the post?
02:41Why, Fanny, he must be in London by now.
02:44He promised you that he would write.
02:46Yes, and I'm sure we may depend upon it.
02:48I dare say he's been busy.
02:51In London there will be much for him to do.
02:54He will write, I know, when he has anything to tell me.
03:00Susan, you know my uncle made me a present of ten pounds when I left Mansfield Park.
03:08And you spent too much of it in getting books for me.
03:11Yet that is such a pleasure.
03:13To be a renter.
03:15A chooser of books.
03:18It's quite amazed me.
03:20But I determined I should do something for Betsy too.
03:24So, um...
03:26I bought her a small trifle.
03:28Cost but half a guinea.
03:33Do you see?
03:36Oh, Fanny.
03:38How good you are.
03:40Now Mary's knife shall be my own.
03:42Betsy will never take it.
03:46But you have done this so I shouldn't quarrel with her.
03:50Can you forgive me for being unkind?
03:53But you must not reproach yourself.
03:58It was Mary's wish to give the knife to you.
04:00Now it shall be yours and yours alone.
04:04Come!
04:05If I have your good opinion, shall we take our present to Betsy now?
04:09It is a silver knife of my very own.
04:18So it is.
04:19It is indeed, Betsy.
04:21How kind your sister is to you and you must thank her for it.
04:24Aye.
04:25I am sure I shall not want yours now.
04:29For this is new and much prettier besides.
04:33Indeed.
04:34I hope you find it so.
04:35I am sure I shall not want that again.
04:38Mama, may I take it now and show it to my friend Tilda?
04:42For she has nothing half so fine.
04:44Yes, my dear, if it will please you.
04:48What a handsome present.
04:50I am sure, Fanny, it must have cost you a vast deal.
04:52No indeed, Mama.
04:54I remember poor Mary's.
04:55It was a gift from old Mrs. Admiral Maxwell.
04:58But my own dear Betsy has not the luck of such a good godmother.
05:02Aunt Norris lives too far off to think of her.
05:06My Aunt Norris said before I left she hoped her goddaughter was a good girl.
05:11I know she went to see for some old prayer books that she might send something for Betsy.
05:16But one she found was too large for her to carry.
05:19And the other, she said, had too small a print for a child's eyes.
05:24Who should that be?
05:25I had not expected any callers.
05:27And Rebecca will be at the door this instant.
05:29It is the only thing she ever does without the least delay.
05:36Sir, good morning.
05:38I'm calling on Mr. and Mrs. Price.
05:40A gentleman.
05:41Are they at home?
05:42Yes.
05:43It's reasonable.
05:44Take the things away.
05:45Come on.
05:46It's your place to come this way.
05:49Stay.
05:50There is no time.
05:55Here is a gentleman to see you, Ma'am.
05:59Why?
06:00It's Mr. Crawford.
06:03William's friend, Mama.
06:05My mother, Mr. Henry Crawford.
06:08I hope I see you well, Ma'am.
06:10Yes, indeed.
06:13I fear my husband is not at home, which I am very sorry for.
06:17I know how much he would have wished to meet you and how warmly William spoke of you, didn't he, Fanny?
06:23Yes, indeed, Mama.
06:24Shall we be seated by the fire?
06:26I fear we have but lately finished breakfast.
06:28Mr. Crawford, will you take my husband's chair?
06:31Thank you, Ma'am.
06:41I suppose your son has sailed already?
06:43Yes.
06:44And Sam has gone with him.
06:46We think they will have a cruise to the West Indies, do we not, Fanny?
06:51But there is nothing known for certain.
06:53William was in hopes of writing when the thrush put into Lisbon.
06:56But we have had no letter yet.
06:58Though Fanny goes to the post each day.
07:04And why do you come to Portsmouth, sir?
07:06Have you some business with the Port Admiral or the Commissioner?
07:10With neither of these gentlemen.
07:13Why then, you come to visit the dockyard or to go to the island?
07:16No, Ma'am.
07:17I can supply nothing as proof of such importance as you expect to justify my appearance.
07:23In truth, I reached here late last night and am staying at the Crown.
07:28And come you from London, sir?
07:30Oh, yes, Ma'am.
07:31Though I have been in town scarcely 24 hours since my return from Norfolk,
07:35I have a house there, Ma'am, at Everingham.
07:39I had so little time before setting out again.
07:42I thought myself lucky in seeing Mary for even half an hour.
07:45But she sends you her best and kindest love.
07:48Anne begs that you excuse her that she has no time for writing at all.
07:52It's very kind, but Miss Crawford owes me no letter.
07:55Pray thank her, Mr. Crawford, and return my compliments.
07:59And do assure her, I think of her very often.
08:04Indeed, it's true.
08:07Miss Crawford, Ma'am, is Mr. Crawford's sister.
08:13What further intelligence do I bring?
08:16Oh, yes, your cousin Edmund is in town.
08:19Has been in town, so Mary informs me for a few days.
08:22I did not see him myself, so offer no proof.
08:25But I understand he is well, had left them all well at Mansfield,
08:30and was to dine with my sister last night at the Fraser's.
08:33Indeed, I believe he dined there the night before.
08:37I hope I entertain you with these minute particulars.
08:41Yes, indeed.
08:43I'm always eager to hear how things go on at Mansfield.
08:46And I should be very happy to tell you more.
08:49Yet, this is all my news.
08:57Were we in Mansfield today, Ma'am,
08:59we should not sit indoors on such a lovely morning.
09:02It is very fine, sir, for the time of year.
09:06But then, at this season, a fine morning so often turns off.
09:11I find it wisest not to delay one's exercise.
09:14Don't you agree?
09:15Oh, yes, indeed, sir.
09:16When one is going out, it is not wise to delay at all.
09:19You are of my opinion.
09:22And so, Ma'am,
09:23if you and your daughters should think of taking your walk,
09:26I would most strongly advise that you do so, without more delay.
09:29A walk?
09:30I, Mr. Crawford,
09:31oh, no, indeed,
09:32I scarcely stir out of doors except of a Sunday.
09:34I am sorry to hear it.
09:36Indeed, I must own that I can seldom, with so large a family,
09:40find time for a walk.
09:41I have so much I must attend to,
09:43and servants so little to be depended upon.
09:46A walk is quite out of the question.
09:48I understand you, Ma'am.
09:50But, in that case,
09:52would you not then persuade your daughters
09:54to take advantage of such fine weather
09:56and allow me the pleasure of attending them?
09:58Oh, but I'm sure, Ma'am...
10:00Dean, Mr. Crawford,
10:01now that is kind.
10:02Isn't it, Fanny and Susan?
10:03Oh, yes, Ma'am.
10:04I fear my daughters are very much confined,
10:07and Portsmouth is such a sad place.
10:09They seldom get out.
10:11And you know, Susan,
10:12there are several things.
10:13Errands in the town,
10:14some lengths of ribbon I had forgot.
10:16Rebecca would never match the colours,
10:17but you and Fanny might do it right.
10:19Indeed, you might call in at the butchers
10:21for some neck of mutton.
10:22Allow us but five millions, Mr. Crawford.
10:25Ten at most while I collect myself.
10:31I believe we shall find the high street
10:33at the bottom of this alley.
10:35You cannot lead me astray.
10:37I'm no stranger to Portsmouth.
10:39I visited the dockyard very often
10:40and sailed from it too.
10:42But you have not asked me yet what I did at Everingham.
10:49For I had business.
10:51The renewal of a lease to a poor family.
10:54But my agent seemed almost too ready to oppose.
10:57For there was something underhand in his objections.
11:01And I made the acquaintance of cottagers and families,
11:05tenants of mine I had never seen before.
11:07Good people.
11:08I hoped in all this to have your approval.
11:11Oh, we should have come another way.
11:13Here is my father.
11:15Hi there!
11:16Fanny and Sue!
11:22What's this then?
11:23Sir, here is Mr. Crawford.
11:25My father, sir.
11:27Mr. Price.
11:29How do you do?
11:32Mr. Henry Crawford.
11:34Why sir, I hope I see you well.
11:38Very well, I thank you.
11:40Do you know this gentleman?
11:42This is William's benefactor.
11:44The nephew of Admiral Crawford.
11:47I'm sorry, sir.
11:49I never met your uncle.
11:51But I'll wager he was the finest sailor that ever captained a three-decker.
11:55By George, I would drink a toast with you.
11:58And not the pacing of a quarter-deck from here.
12:01Father, we have some errands for my mother and Mr. Crawford goes with us.
12:08You have my girls in tow, eh?
12:12Very well.
12:13I will walk along with you and we may talk as we go.
12:17Do you make much stay in Portsmouth, sir?
12:20A day or two at most.
12:21I must leave by Monday.
12:22Ah, I would show you the dockyard, sir, if you would spare the time.
12:26Come!
12:27Come, girls!
12:28I shall see you again tomorrow.
12:29Look after yourselves!
12:30You attend the Garrison Chapel, I suppose?
12:31Yes, sir.
12:32With my family.
12:33Tomorrow.
12:34There's everything.
12:35Good job, John.
12:36Good job, John.
13:04Good job.
13:07Good job, Gawd.
13:12After the confines of Chapel, this is a pleasant prospect.
13:17But I came to Portsmouth only to see you.
13:20It was on your account, on yours alone, I found I could not endure a longer separation.
13:29You have been here a month, I think.
13:31No, oh, not quite a month.
13:33quite a month. it's only four weeks tomorrow since I left Mansfield. you are a most honest and accurate
13:40reckoner. I should call that a month. I did not arrive here till Tuesday evening. and it is to be
13:48a two months visit isn't it? yes yes my uncle spoke of two months. I suppose it shall not be less. who
13:55comes for you? who will convey you? I do not know. I've heard nothing about it yet from my aunt.
14:03perhaps I may stay longer. it may not be convenient for me to be fetched at the end of two months.
14:10I know Mansfield. I know its ways. and I know the danger of your being forgotten.
14:17if sir Thomas cannot settle everything for coming himself or for sending your aunt's maid for you
14:23this will not do. two months is ample. I should think six weeks quite enough.
14:28I am considering your sister's health which I think the confinement of Portsmouth unfavorable to.
14:37when you know her as well as I do I'm sure you will agree she ought never to be long banished
14:41from the free air and liberty of the country. she keeps too much indoors here helping my mother.
14:47if you find yourself growing unwell and any difficulty about returning let my sister know it.
15:04give her only the slightest hint. she and I will immediately come down and take you back.
15:09since I keep so hearty I see no occasion. I am perfectly serious as you perfectly know.
15:16if you feel yourself less strong less comfortable. I hope you will not cruelly conceal it. indeed you shall not.
15:27for you must positively say in every letter to mary I am well.
15:31I know you cannot write or speak a falsehood. sir.
15:38you must not you or your sister concern yourself on my account. yet I shall do very well till I am sent for.
15:50my mother and father are waiting for us.
15:52yet I do concern myself. and the cause you know very well.
16:02now mr crawford sir. what say you? will you do us the honor of taking your mutton with us?
16:22sir you are very kind. but I regret you must excuse me. I am engaged at dinner already by an acquaintance
16:30at the crown. and I fear he will not be denied. I am most grateful for the invitation. and for a pleasant walk.
16:38good day to you mr crawford. come boys. and betsy.
16:47if you are blown into harbour again sir I pray you will call upon us.
16:53we'll be honored sir to make your acquaintance.
16:55a word with you sir.
17:04I wish you were not so pale.
17:07I wish I left you in stronger health.
17:10is there anything I can do for you in town?
17:12I want nothing.
17:14I have half an idea of going into norfolk again.
17:17I'm not satisfied with my agent.
17:18I'm sure he means to impose on me.
17:22the mischief such a man does on an estate and to the welfare of the poor is inconceivable.
17:28it would be worse than simple to let him give me a hard-hearted griping fellow for a tenant
17:33instead of an honest man.
17:35would it not be worse than simple?
17:36shall I go?
17:38do you advise it?
17:41I advise?
17:43you know very well what is right.
17:44yes.
17:46when you give me your opinion I always know.
17:49your judgment is my rule.
17:51oh no don't say so.
17:54we all have a better guide in ourselves if we attend to it than any other person can be.
17:59goodbye.
18:04I wish you a pleasant journey tomorrow.
18:06is there nothing I can do for you in town?
18:08nothing.
18:10I'm much obliged to you.
18:12have you no message for anybody?
18:15my love to your sister if you please.
18:19and when you see my cousin my cousin Edmund
18:23I wish you would say that
18:26I suppose I shall hear from him soon.
18:28certainly.
18:29and if he is lazy or negligent I will write his excuses myself.
18:34mr crawford.
18:46my dear fanny
18:48I write to you from mansfield park in very great distress.
18:52for I take up my pen to communicate some alarming intelligence
18:57which I make no doubt will give you much concern.
19:00as it has done both to sir thomas and myself.
19:05your cousin tom is returned from newmarket where a neglected fall
19:10and a good deal of drinking after it with a party of young men
19:14has brought on a dangerous fever.
19:16your cousin Edmund received the news in London and left at once to bring his brother home
19:23for he found that all tom's friends had deserted him
19:27leaving him in sickness and solitude with only servants to attend him.
19:31Edmund has thought it best to bring the poor sufferer to mansfield where his own physician may be depended on to fetch him back to health and strength.
19:43the family you know is not consumptive and so I do pray and believe that he will soon be well again.
19:52oh my dear fanny
19:54he is just taken upstairs and I am so shocked to see him.
20:00poor tom I am quite grieved for him and very much frightened
20:07and so is sir thomas.
20:08how glad I should be if you were here to give me comfort.
20:14but sir thomas hopes he will be better tomorrow
20:18and says we must consider his his journey.
20:23dear fanny I shall write again so soon as I have better news.
20:29your affectionate aunt bertram
20:30this has been three days in the post.
20:38but I am sorry not to be at home.
20:41not to be with my aunt.
20:43at mansfield park.
20:44my poor sister bertram.
20:46she must be in a great deal of trouble.
20:50and is not tom her eldest son?
20:53yes mama.
20:55my god.
20:57they'll all go one way.
20:59one way all the next.
21:02I've seen them.
21:05run overboard.
21:06I've seen them.
21:12lord I give my sniveling and pipe in your eye.
21:19poor jack.
21:20they say there's a providence.
21:26sits up a lot.
21:31where your father is at the coals again?
21:35last week he burnt a hole in the carpet.
21:37and I have not time to mend it.
21:39there's a one way or the next.
21:41While I wish.
21:44some thousands of a little flock.
21:47To execution do.
21:49where we shall send the shock
21:53when we die
21:57Fanny, tell me some more of Mansfield Park
22:06I wish that I might see it
22:09is it so beautiful?
22:13yes, most beautiful
22:16tell me some more
22:19it's six weeks and five days since
22:24I used to ride the old grey pony
22:33it was so slow and gentle
22:36and yet I trembled the first time my uncle ever put me on
22:39it was my cousin Edmund
22:45taught me not to fear it
22:47to venture a little further
22:49Susan
22:53my dearest Fanny
23:00forgive my long silence
23:02the diversions of London have been too pressing
23:04but now even your cousin Edmund has been called away
23:08whilst he was here he visited me at the Fraser's on two or three occasions
23:13and once we walked together in the park for a brief tete-a-tete
23:17he will be too much concerned now to think of me again
23:22poor Tom
23:24Fanny, I see you smile
23:27but upon my oath I never bribed a physician in my life
23:31if he dies
23:33there will be two poor young men less in the world
23:36and I will say boldly that wealth and title could fall into no better hands
23:40oh, it was a foolish step he took at Christmas
23:45but the evil of a few days may be blotted out
23:49varnish and gilding hide many stains
23:53and I put it to your conscience
23:56whether Sir Edmund
23:58would not do more good with all the Bertram property
24:01than any other possible sir
24:03now, Fanny, do not be alarmed
24:07for I must break it to you
24:09that Henry determined not to go into Norfolk
24:11and the reason is very simply
24:13that I had need of him in town
24:15last night your cousin Mrs. Rushworth
24:18gave a party at her new house in Wimpole Street
24:20and the value of a man like Henry
24:23on such an occasion
24:24is something you can have no conception of
24:26but Mrs. Rushworth was in beauty
24:30poor Mr. Rushworth
24:32he has bought her such a house
24:34as Henry could never have afforded
24:36she has got her pennyworth for her penny
24:39to use a vulgar phrase
24:41yet, Fanny
24:45do not be thinking anything foolish or uneasy
24:48for shall I tell you how he was received
24:51yes, very coldly
24:54and Mr. Rushworth's mother was come from Bath
24:58where nothing that had befallen her would entertain you
25:02so, other matter must fill my page
25:05well, let it be your cousin Julia
25:09who you may be sure enjoys London exceedingly
25:14indeed
25:15I do not believe your cousin Julia
25:18will evermore be satisfied with Mansfield
25:20or Mansfield Park again
25:22from all I observe and guess
25:25Mr. Yates continues his attentions to her
25:28she ought to do better
25:31a poor honourable is no catch
25:33though, as the baron in lover's vows
25:36I will confess he made fine speeches
25:40but take away his rants
25:41and the poor baron is nothing
25:44see what a difference a vow makes
25:46if his rents were but equal to his rants
25:50ah, then
26:06must one always wait to give till one is asked?
26:24to do good satisfies both hunger and thirst
26:31you do not take your cure
26:33have you forgot the lines?
26:36it is lover's vows
26:38there is something wanting yet
26:41ah, yes
26:43take this, good woman
26:47Frederick
26:49how is this?
26:51how do I find my mother thus?
26:53speak
26:55I cannot
26:56oh, my dear one
27:00what shall I do?
27:02I can no more endure it
27:03no
27:04you shall not say so
27:05what of Mr. Rushmore?
27:07I hate him
27:08upon my soul
27:09upon my soul
27:25upon my soul
27:26Fanny
27:30did you go to the library?
27:32oh
27:33I quite forgot
27:34my mother is sure to want some errands
27:37I may call him later
27:39I'll call him later
28:00a most scandalous rumor has just reached me dear Fanny
28:03and I write to warn you against giving the least credit to it
28:06if it should reach your ears
28:08I must go to London
28:10I shall take Edmund too
28:12Sir Thomas
28:13what shall I do without you?
28:14and Tom
28:15not out of bed
28:16my poor Mariah
28:17I will tell you, Sir Thomas, who is to blame in this affair
28:20why
28:21Fanny Price to be sure
28:22it is her neglect of him
28:24her proud and obstinate refusal
28:25pray silence, Mrs. Norris
28:27I shall blame no one but myself
28:30I've left my daughters too much in others' care
28:33it may be your neglect, ma'am
28:35which has kept Fanny true
28:37neglect?
28:39of Fanny?
28:41depend upon it
28:43there is some mistake
28:44a day or two will clear it up
28:46at any rate
28:47Henry is blameless
28:48and thinks of nobody but you
28:51say nothing
28:52whisper
28:53nothing
28:54till I write again
28:55I would lay my life
28:56they are only gone to Mansfield Park
28:58and Julia with them
28:59but why would you not let us come for you?
29:03I wish you may not repent it
29:16I am surprised Easter should fall so late this year
29:20I do not remember it was ever so late before
29:24tees we want pumpkin cheese
29:34Rebecca!
29:35pumpkin cheese!
29:36we want pumpkin cheese!
29:37Rebecca!
29:38pumpkin cheese!
29:39how long?
29:40Rebecca is making the tea
29:42I am sure I told her to mend the carpet
29:43you see the whole yet Fanny
29:45What's the name of your great cousins in town, Fann?
29:54Rushworth, sir.
29:58Don't they live in Wimpole Street?
30:02Yes, sir.
30:04I don't know what Sir Thomas will make of it.
30:07What does it say, Mr. Price?
30:09It's all here in the post.
30:13It is. With infinite concern,
30:17this newspaper has to announce to the world
30:21a matrimonial fracas
30:24in the family of Mr. R of Wimpole Street.
30:30Rushworth, did you say?
30:33The beautiful Mrs. R,
30:37whose name has not long been enrolled
30:40in the lists of women,
30:44and who had promised to become so brilliant
30:49in the fashionable world,
30:51has quitted her husband's roof in company
30:54with the well-known and captivating Mr. C.
31:00It cannot be.
31:02The intimate friend of Mr. R,
31:06and it is not known
31:08even to the editor of this newspaper
31:11where they are gone.
31:13Why, Fanny?
31:14It must be mistaken.
31:15It cannot be true.
31:16It must mean some other people.
31:17Yes, to be sure.
31:19See by yourself.
31:21Much good, May.
31:22Such fine relations do you.
31:26By God, if that girl belonged to me,
31:29I'd give her the rope's end
31:31as long as I could stand over her.
31:33Aye,
31:34a little flogging for man and woman too
31:37would be the best way of preventing such things.
31:39Yet it may not be true.
31:45May all be a lie, of course.
31:48But so many fine ladies are going to the devil nowadays.
31:54There's no answering for anybody.
31:57Indeed, I hope it is not true.
31:59It would be so very shocking.
32:02If I have spoken once to Rebecca about that carpet,
32:05I am sure I have spoken at least a dozen times
32:07and it would not be ten minutes' work.
32:10Now he must send for me.
32:12Now he must surely come.
32:17Fanny!
32:18Here comes a carriage.
32:19I think he must be here.
32:23Yes, it is Sir Thomas's.
32:25And my cousin Edmund.
32:27Shall we go down?
32:30Mama!
32:31The carriage is here outside the door.
32:33Susan, bring him in, Fanny,
32:34and I will make the parlour ready.
32:36Yes, Monois.
32:37Let me go to him alone.
32:38Stay a while with Monois.
32:49My father wishes me to take you home
32:51for my mother's sake.
32:52You left him in London?
32:53And my cousin Morat?
32:55There is nothing to be done.
32:57They cannot be traced.
32:59And Julia is gone with Yates to Scotland.
33:02They left London a few hours before my father and I could be there.
33:08Oh, Fanny.
33:12My only sister.
33:15My only comfort now.
33:20When shall you be ready?
33:21Have you breakfasted?
33:22How have you settled it with Susan?
33:24Is she able to accept my father's invitation?
33:26Susan will gladly go with us.
33:27And she's here.
33:28Susan!
33:31Here's my cousin Edmund.
33:32Cousin Edmund, how do you do?
33:34And are you ready Susan?
33:35Oh yes!
33:36And all my things are packed beside.
33:39Only think cousin, I shall see Mansfield Park.
33:43They're coming indoors.
33:45You must receive him.
33:47Give him some kind of welcome.
33:50Well I shan't stir for him from drydock.
33:54Pull up alongside!
33:55Here!
33:56Here!
34:01Here's my cousin Edmund.
34:02You must excuse us.
34:04My daughter Betsy.
34:06How do you do now?
34:07Here.
34:11We were in such a turmoil as never was.
34:13My husband plagued with the guy, so there's no teasing him.
34:15Why then?
34:16How do you do, sir?
34:17Well...
34:20My God.
34:22See this leg of mine?
34:25The surgeon saved that leg.
34:28Damn it, I said to them.
34:30You would have served me better to have cut it off.
34:33Aye!
34:34And let the Frenchmen have it with their grape shot!
34:40I am sorry, sir, to find you unwell.
34:43My father sent his greetings.
34:45My mother and my aunt Norris too.
34:47Oh, my poor sister Bertram.
34:49If I had had but a moment to myself, I could have written her a letter.
34:53So...
34:55You're Sir Thomas' boy, eh?
34:58You never had a mind to put to sea, sir?
35:02There's a true man's life!
35:05Better than to skulk indoors, a snivelling parson!
35:10Father, my cousin is anxious to be on the road.
35:13Indeed, sir.
35:14If we are to sleep tonight at Oxford, we must set out.
35:16What would the girls have not had their breakfast yet?
35:18Indeed, I told them.
35:19Is it no matter?
35:20Is it Susan?
35:21No, indeed, Mama.
35:22Fanny and I are eager to start at once.
35:24What about your cousin?
35:25Thank you, ma'am.
35:26I have breakfasted at the post house.
35:27The horses are baited too.
35:28Well, then I suppose everything is ready.
35:31I've had such trouble finding boxes.
35:33For Rebecca takes them all away and spoils them making firewood.
35:36But Fanny has done it all.
35:38Indeed, without her I do not know how we should have managed.
35:41No, ma'am.
35:43That is her single fault.
35:45So we have found at Mansfield.
35:48Fanny makes herself indispensable to those she loves.
35:51We shall reach Newbury in good time for dinner.
36:09I fear this homecoming will be a sad affair for you.
36:12It's my uncle I think of.
36:16Alone in London.
36:17And able to do nothing.
36:21Yet my cousin Tom gets better.
36:23And that must be of some comfort to him.
36:26And my Aunt Bertrand too.
36:28There was anxiety over Tom.
36:29More than my mother knew of.
36:32But he had been out of bed upon the sofa some days before my father and I were called away.
36:36And all our new senses of his improvement.
36:43If Tom had not been taken ill I should have stayed in London.
36:47What then?
36:50Could you have prevented it?
36:55It is beyond belief.
36:57Crawford and Mariah.
37:02Jitz and Julia.
37:04When I consider
37:07what is lost to us all
37:12and to you.
37:14No.
37:15Not to me.
37:17Yet I think Crawford truly loved you and you must feel it.
37:19You must suffer.
37:28But it's funny.
37:31When you think of Harper.
37:33And of me.
37:37Oh Fanny it is beautiful.
37:40I never thought that it would be so grand.
37:43Now I must remember all you've taught me are napkins and finger glasses.
38:14Is it my Aunt Bertrand?
38:16Aunt Loris.
38:20Mrs Susan.
38:22Oh child you have your mother's mouth.
38:24I trust you do not have her temper.
38:27Edmund.
38:28I advised your brother to stay within the door.
38:30Here's my Aunt Bertrand.
38:32Here Annie.
38:33Here Annie.
38:35Aunt Bertrand.
38:37This is...
38:38It's my sister Susan.
38:44Cousin Tom.
38:46I'm glad to see you all.
38:48The old leech has had so much of me.
38:49I'm glad you see me at all.
38:52Your cousin Tom.
38:54Tom.
38:55I think you're looking better.
38:58Have a new kiss.
39:00Fanny.
39:02Fanny.
39:04How pleased I am that you are come back.
39:06Dear Fanny.
39:08Now I shall be comfortable again.
39:10Scenes must be beautiful, which daily viewed please daily, and whose novelty survives long knowledge and the scrutiny of years.
39:22Stephanie.
39:24What's the
39:42Here's a wet sundae.
40:09My uncle comes home tomorrow.
40:21I have not yet told you.
40:26I have never spoken of my last meeting with Miss Crawford in London.
40:35No.
40:36She sent a note asking to see me.
40:50I called on her at Mrs. Fraser's.
40:57There was a hint of such entreaty in her message that revived in me the strongest feelings.
41:09For her gentleness and warmth of spirit.
41:20Yes cousin.
41:22I will tell you everything and have done forever.
41:35She was alone.
41:49Let us talk over this sad business.
41:54But what can equal the folly of our two relations?
42:00Oh I do not mean to defend Henry at your sister's expense.
42:05The lack of caution of common discretion condemns them both.
42:11And indeed Henry is the more to blame in my opinion since he had so much more to lose.
42:17I'm sure we shall agree on that.
42:24I hope we may.
42:25Oh but surely.
42:26Mariah must have been aware that Henry cared nothing for her.
42:30What could she hope for but to trap him by some foolish indiscretion.
42:34Well if that was her wish the plan succeeded.
42:37She has lost a husband whom she never cared for anything except his fortune.
42:41But Henry.
42:44Henry had thrown away such a woman as he will never see again.
42:49Fanny Price would have fixed him.
42:51She would have made him happy forever.
42:54Why would she not have him?
42:57It is all her fault simple girl.
42:59I shall never forgive her.
43:01If she had accepted him as she ought they might now be on the point of marriage.
43:05And Henry would be too busy and too happy to want any other.
43:09Surely you believe that?
43:11He would not have troubled with Mariah.
43:13Exposed himself to such a foolish risk of their detection.
43:18It would all have ended in a regular standing flirtation.
43:21That they could have carried on at Sotherton and Everingham.
43:24The sort of dalliance the world smiles on.
43:30It seems this happy future is now denied them.
43:37Then what is to be done?
43:41We must bring about a marriage.
43:44We must persuade Henry to marry her.
43:47And I do not despair of it.
43:49Fanny, he must give up.
43:52I do not think even he could now succeed with someone like her.
43:55When once they are married.
43:58If Mariah is properly supported by her own family.
44:02She may recover her position in society to a certain degree.
44:06With good dinners and large parties there will always be those who will be glad of her acquaintance.
44:12Fortunately there is more liberality on such things than before.
44:15What I advise is that your father be quiet.
44:22Persuade him to let everything take its course.
44:26If by an exertion of his Mariah is induced to leave Henry's protection there will be much less chance of his marrying her.
44:33Let Sir Thomas trust to Henry's honor.
44:39And it may all end well.
44:43But if he gets Mariah away it will destroy her chief hold on Henry.
44:47What do you say?
44:48I...
44:56What can I...
45:02But that I...
45:05I had not thought it possible.
45:09Coming in such a state of mind to this house as I did.
45:14That anything should happen here to make me suffer more.
45:19But...
45:21You have spoken with such indifference to feeling such cruelty.
45:26Marriage.
45:29What sort of marriage is this you speak of?
45:33Would it not be a greater crime than any folly?
45:37But...
45:39It seems that...
45:41To be detected in a folly...
45:44Is the greatest crime you know.
45:49That I could so little have known you.
45:58But...
45:59It wasn't you.
46:03It was some...
46:05Creature of my imagination that all these months I've dwelt on.
46:11Indeed.
46:13Well...
46:15A pretty fine lecture upon my word Mr. Bertram.
46:20Was it part of your last sermon?
46:23At this rate you will soon reform everybody at Mansfield.
46:25You must excuse me.
46:27And when I hear of you next, it may be as a celebrated preacher in some great society of Methodists.
46:32Though as a missionary in some foreign parts.
46:34Believe me...
46:36From my heart...
46:38I wish you well.
46:42Mr. Bertram!
46:43Mr. Bertram!
46:51Mr. Bertram.
46:54She smiled.
46:58A playful, saucy smile.
47:01Seeming to invite.
47:04At least so it appeared to me.
47:07I resisted and went on.
47:10It was the impulse of a moment.
47:16I confess...
47:18I have since, sometimes...
47:20For a moment...
47:23Regretted that I did not go back.
47:25But I was right.
47:37Brother and sister...
47:40I was equally deceived in both.
47:55But you...
48:04You were not deceived.
48:07Were you?
48:10You held to what you knew.
48:14In your heart.
48:18Yes.
48:20Constant.
48:25Constant as the rain.
48:31What should I do if you should ever go away?
48:37I shall never.
48:41No.
48:45My dearest Fanny.
48:55To Lieutenant Price...
49:09On board his majesty's sloop thrush...
49:11At Bermuda.
49:13My dearest William...
49:15So far from you...
49:17I shall not dwell on guilt and misery...
49:19That you already know of.
49:21Briefly then...
49:23Mr. Rushworth has his divorce.
49:26My Aunt Norris has quitted Mansfield...
49:29To set up home with my cousin Mariah.
49:31As I'm sure you will remember...
49:33Mariah was her favourite...
49:35Always.
49:37Yeats and Julia are married...
49:39And my uncle is now reconciled to her again.
49:43All the family is here together.
49:45My father and mother too.
49:47For now I must tell you...
49:49William...
49:51What will surprise you more than all the rest...
49:53And which you will not have heard...
49:55From any other quarter.
49:57For today...
49:59I am to be married to my cousin...
50:01Edmund.
50:03And dearest William...
50:05I know you will rejoice as I do...
50:07Wanting but one thing...
50:09That you were here to share this joy with me.
50:12Dr. Grant leaves the parsonage shortly...
50:14Having succeeded to a stall in Westminster.
50:17So Edmund and I...
50:19Shall make this house...
50:21Our home.
50:23And one day William...
50:24I pray it may be soon...
50:26We shall see you here...
50:28Where you are welcome ever...
50:30Through all the years to be...
50:32Happy as we remain together...
50:34Within the view...
50:36And patronage...
50:38Of Mansfield Park.
50:39Enjoy Emma...
