00:00I
00:30Marry Fanny Price?
00:50Why, Henry?
00:53So this was your business?
00:56This was what took you to London?
00:57You chose to consult the Admiral?
00:58No, Mary. You are quite mistaken there.
01:02Though when Fanny is known to him, I'm sure our uncle will dote on her.
01:06However he despises marriage.
01:08But Fanny Price.
01:12It's wonderful.
01:14Quite wonderful that Mansfield should have done so much for you.
01:18That you should have found your fate at Mansfield.
01:23But you are quite right.
01:24There is not a better girl in the world.
01:26And as to her connections, they are more than good.
01:29She is niece to Sir Thomas Bertram. That will be enough for the world.
01:33But go on. What are your plans?
01:35Does she know her happiness?
01:37No.
01:38What are you waiting for?
01:39For very little more than opportunity.
01:41Mary, she is not like her cousins.
01:46But I think I shall not ask in vain.
01:49Oh, no, you cannot.
01:53Though from my soul, I do not think she would marry you without love.
01:57If there is a girl in the world capable of being uninfluenced by ambition.
02:01But ask her to love you and she will never have the heart to refuse.
02:08I could so wholly and absolutely confide in her.
02:15And that is what I want.
02:16The more I think of it, the more I am convinced that you are doing right.
02:28I am quite persuaded.
02:30Fanny Price is the very girl to make you happy.
02:35Your wicked project upon her turns out a clever thought indeed.
02:40It was bad.
02:41Very bad in me against such a creature.
02:43But I didn't know her then.
02:48And I will make her happy, Mary.
02:50Happier than she has ever yet been herself.
02:53Or ever seen anybody else.
02:55My dearest Henry.
02:58How glad I am to see you so much in love.
03:00It quite delights me.
03:02But what will Mrs. Rushworth and Julia say?
03:05Oh, I care neither what they say or feel.
03:09They will now see what sort of woman it is that can attach me.
03:14And they will now see their cousin treated as she ought to be.
03:17And I hope they may be heartily ashamed of their own abominable neglect.
03:23They will be angry.
03:26Mrs. Rushworth will be very angry.
03:29It will be a bitter pill to her.
03:30But, like other bitter pills, they will be swallowed and forgotten.
03:37I am not such a coxcomb as to suppose her feelings more lasting than other women's.
03:42Though I was the object of them.
03:44Yes, Mary.
03:50My Fanny will feel a difference in the behaviour of every being who approaches her.
03:55Daily.
03:57Hourly.
03:58And it will be the completion of my happiness to know that I am the doer of it.
04:05If you will come, Mrs. Wayser, I believe the lady and Mr. Price are still at breakfast.
04:09It may be.
04:10I am a trifle early.
04:10Good morning, Lady Bertram.
04:17So you are come.
04:19I am glad to see you well.
04:21But since I have risen from the table, I think you will excuse me from doing so again.
04:26You know, I am waited for.
04:31Indeed.
04:32And here is Fanny to entertain you.
04:38Bradley, pray tell Sir Thomas that Mr. Crawford is come.
04:51My dear Miss Price.
04:53I am infinitely obliged to any creature who gives me such an opportunity of seeing you alone.
05:00You will allow me?
05:02Mr. Crawford?
05:09Knowing your feelings as a sister,
05:11I could hardly have borne that anyone should share in the first knowledge of the news I bring.
05:20He is made!
05:21Your brother is a lieutenant.
05:24I have the infinite satisfaction of congratulating you on William's promotion.
05:29Here are the letters which announce it.
05:30This moment come to hand.
05:32You will perhaps like to see them?
05:36Here.
05:37You may read.
05:38The Secretary of the First Lord writes to my uncle, the Admiral,
05:42delighted to have such an opportunity of proving his regard.
05:45This is a note from his lordship himself.
05:48All this tells you
05:51that you must be assured
05:53Mr. William Price's commission
05:55as second lieutenant of his majesty's sloop thrush
05:57being made out
05:58has spread the greatest joy
05:59through a vast circle of people.
06:02Is it true?
06:04My uncle has exerted himself
06:05as I knew he would
06:06after seeing your brother.
06:08He was delighted with him.
06:10Well, this was my object in asking William to go with me to town.
06:16Well, is all this
06:17you're doing then?
06:21Good heaven.
06:23How very, very kind.
06:25Is it really by your desire?
06:28Oh, no, no.
06:29I beg your pardon, but
06:30I'm bewildered.
06:34Oh, Mr. Crawford.
06:39How very, very kind.
06:42We're infinitely obliged to you.
06:45Oh, dearest William.
06:48I must go to my uncle.
06:50My uncle ought to know this.
06:51Oh, pray do not.
06:52You must allow me a moment longer.
07:03Forgive me,
07:04but I must speak a little of what I feel.
07:08If you are grateful,
07:11believe me when I say to you
07:12it was not done for William alone.
07:15Not done for William?
07:18It must be.
07:20It cannot be that you are wholly unaware
07:22of what I feel for you.
07:23Ever since that moment
07:24when we led the dance.
07:25Pray, Mr. Crawford.
07:26All that I have done,
07:27all that I feel,
07:29is for you
07:29and you alone.
07:31And so
07:32I offer you my heart.
07:34No, don't.
07:35No, pray don't.
07:37I beg you would not.
07:39This is a sort of talking
07:40which is very unpleasant to me.
07:42No, I cannot bear it.
07:44I cannot bear.
07:46Can you then offer nothing
07:47in return for what I bring you?
07:49Have pity.
07:49Do you understand?
07:52I offer up myself
07:53hand,
07:55fortune,
07:55everything
07:56to your acceptance
07:57and with it
07:58all my heart...
08:00No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
08:02This is all nonsense.
08:03No, no.
08:03I can hear no more.
08:05Miss Price.
08:06Your kindness to William
08:07makes me obliged to you
08:09but I cannot bear...
08:10No, I must not listen.
08:12Stay, I beg you.
08:13You're not thinking of me.
08:14I know it's all nothing.
08:19Indeed, Sir Thomas.
08:21Ah, Mr. Crawford.
08:24Good day, Sir Thomas.
08:25I was told Fanny was here.
08:27Yes, sir, she was.
08:29Miss Price has just now left me.
08:31Ah.
08:32I fear she was a little overwhelmed.
08:35I bought her some happy news.
08:37News?
08:38Indeed, Sir Thomas.
08:40Of her brother, William.
08:46Fanny?
08:47Oh, you're here.
08:49May I come in?
08:50Yes, sir.
08:51I pray you.
08:53What's this?
08:54Have you no fire today?
08:57I'm not cold, sir.
08:59Well, I never sit here long
09:01this time of year.
09:02Where comes this about?
09:04Well, here must be some mistake.
09:06It is highly unfit for you to sit,
09:08be it only half an hour a day
09:09without a fire.
09:10You are not strong.
09:12Your aunt cannot be aware of this.
09:13No, I think, sir,
09:15my aunt Norris, I think it was.
09:17Ah, yes, yes, I understand.
09:21Your aunt Norris
09:22has always been an advocate
09:24for young people being brought up
09:26without unnecessary indulgences.
09:29It was well-meant, I'm sure,
09:30but there should be moderation
09:32in all things.
09:33She is, herself,
09:35exceptionally hardy.
09:38I'm sure you understand.
09:39Now, my dear, sit down.
09:43I wish to speak to you
09:44for a few minutes.
09:46I will not detain you long.
09:50You are not, I believe,
09:52unaware
09:53that I have been speaking
09:55to your visitor this morning.
09:56Mr. Crawford returns to us
09:59with very welcome news.
10:00Yes, indeed, sir.
10:02And a proposal
10:03which I believe
10:04he has made to you
10:05and which,
10:07I assure you,
10:08has my entire approval.
10:11And now, Ferry,
10:13having done my part,
10:14I will no longer
10:15impose myself upon you
10:16but take you to one
10:17whom you are sure
10:18of finding better
10:19worth listening to.
10:21Mr. Crawford is yet
10:22in the house.
10:23He's in my room
10:24and we're hoping
10:25to see you there.
10:26No, no, no, no, sir, no.
10:27I cannot indeed
10:28go down to him.
10:32Mr. Crawford ought to know.
10:34I told him without disguise.
10:36He must know.
10:38It is quite out of my power
10:40to return his good opinion.
10:42Huh?
10:43Out of your power
10:45to return his good opinion,
10:47what is all this?
10:50He told me
10:51he had received
10:52as much encouragement
10:53as a young woman
10:54should permit herself to go.
10:56Oh, no, sir.
10:56No, you're quite mistaken.
10:58How could Mr. Crawford
10:59say such a thing?
11:00On the contrary,
11:01I told him...
11:02I cannot recollect my words
11:04but I am sure
11:06I told him
11:06I would not listen to him
11:08and would have said more
11:09if I'd been certain
11:10of his meaning
11:11anything seriously.
11:13I did not think, sir,
11:15he intended it.
11:16I thought it might all
11:17pass for nothing with him.
11:21Am I to understand
11:23that you refuse, Mr. Crawford?
11:26Yes, sir.
11:28You refuse him?
11:30Upon what plea?
11:32For what reason?
11:35I...
11:36I cannot like him, sir.
11:39Well enough to marry him.
11:43This is very strange.
11:50You must have been aware.
11:52You must sometime
11:54have been aware
11:55of Mr. Crawford's
11:55attentions to you.
11:57I always thought
11:58you received them
11:59very properly.
12:01I'm half inclined to think,
12:03Fanny,
12:04that you do not
12:05quite know
12:06your own feelings.
12:06Oh, yes, sir,
12:07indeed I do.
12:09His attentions were always
12:10what I did not like.
12:13Ah, this is beyond me.
12:16This requires
12:16some explanation.
12:19You are young,
12:20you scarcely see anyone.
12:22It is hardly possible
12:23your affections are...
12:24No, no, no.
12:28No, I know
12:29that is out of the question.
12:30Have you any reason,
12:35child,
12:35to think ill
12:36of Mr. Crawford's temper?
12:41No, sir.
12:44Well, what then?
12:49Give me some answer,
12:50Fanny.
12:53Sir?
12:54You will excuse me.
12:55We had better put an end
13:03to this most mortifying
13:04conference.
13:05Mr. Crawford must not
13:06be longer kept waiting.
13:08I will, therefore,
13:10only add
13:10that you have disappointed
13:13every expectation
13:14that I had formed of you.
13:16For I had, Fanny,
13:17formed a very favourable
13:18impression of you
13:19since my return to England.
13:21I thought you
13:22peculiarly free
13:23from willfulness,
13:25self-conceit,
13:25and every tendency
13:27towards that
13:28independence of spirit
13:31which prevails so much
13:32in modern days
13:33and which in young women
13:35is offensive beyond
13:36all common offence.
13:37You have shown me
13:38that you can be willful
13:39and perverse.
13:40The advantage
13:41or disadvantage
13:41of your parents,
13:43your own brothers
13:44and sisters,
13:45has no place
13:46in your thoughts.
13:48Here is a young man
13:49of sense,
13:50of character,
13:50of temper
13:51and of fortune
13:52seeking your hand
13:54in the most handsome way.
13:55and let me tell you,
13:56Fanny,
13:57you may live
13:57another 18 years
13:58in the world
13:59without being addressed
14:00by a man
14:01of half Mr. Crawford's estate
14:02or a tenth of his merits.
14:06Had Mr. Crawford
14:08sought Julia's hand,
14:09I would have given it
14:11more joyously
14:12than I gave Mariah's
14:13to Mr. Rushworth.
14:15And if either of my daughters
14:16had refused him,
14:18I would have been
14:18much surprised and hurt.
14:20I would have thought
14:21it a gross violation
14:22of duty and respect.
14:26You cannot be so judged.
14:29You do not owe me
14:30the duty of a child.
14:32But Fanny,
14:33if your heart
14:34can acquit you
14:35of ingratitude...
14:36I...
14:37I'm sorry.
14:46I'm sorry.
14:48I'm...
14:49I'm sorry.
14:50Sorry.
14:51Yes, I hope you are sorry.
14:53I'm sorry.
14:54You will have cause
14:55to be long sorry
14:55for this day's transactions.
14:56If it were at all
15:05possible for me
15:06to do otherwise,
15:07but I'm so perfectly
15:09convinced
15:10that I could never
15:11make him happy
15:12and that I should
15:15be miserable myself.
15:16and that I should
15:29be prepared to
15:32dry up these tears.
15:36There is no use
15:37in these tears.
15:40They can do no good.
15:46I must return to Mr. Crawford, sir.
16:00Now, for the present, calm yourself.
16:05And think over what I have said to you.
16:10When your spirits are more composed, it may be that Mr. Crawford would want to speak to you again.
16:17Now, I advise you to go out. The air will do you good.
16:24Go out for an hour. You will have the shrubbery to yourself.
16:29And you will be better for the air in the exercise.
16:37And, uh, Fanny...
16:41I will say nothing as yet to your aunts of this matter.
16:46Until some convenient moment.
16:49And say nothing yourself.
16:52I thank you, sir.
16:55So...
16:56Take your walk.
16:58Take your walk.
17:00I would say nothing for this matter.
17:01But it could be aute for a few years.
17:02You will come back and talk to me.
17:04I'll try whatever.
17:05I'm going back to you next time.
17:06I'll try everything.
17:07Honestly, I'm telling you why he's not stuck on this matter.
17:08I'll try everything.
17:09I'm going back to you next time, and I'll try to fix myself.
17:10And I'll try everything else.
17:11I'll try to fix myself.
17:13And I'll try to fix myself.
17:14I'm doing nothing.
17:15I'm doing something I'm doing.
17:16I'm doing a love, too.
17:17I'm doing something I'm doing.
17:19Oh, heaven do.
17:49Oh, then it will be ungrateful.
18:07Ah, Fanny. A word with you, my dear.
18:09My own watch was open upstairs to see for her shorts.
18:11It will take but a moment.
18:19I have spoken again to Mr. Crawford and he understands I believe how matters rest between you.
18:31For his part he tells me his feelings are unchanged.
18:33And asks only to be allowed to continue in the hope that time may bring about some alteration in yours for him.
18:43Indeed sir, but I'm so perfectly convinced that...
18:45My dear there is no occasion for this.
19:01Mr. Crawford proceeds at his own risk.
19:05You are on safe ground.
19:07If he calls you will see him with the rest of us and in the same manner as before.
19:12He is to leave with his sister for London very soon so this can scarcely be a burden to you.
19:19There is nothing more to be said nor done.
19:23Now, my dear Fanny, the subject is closed between us.
19:28I thank you sir.
19:34But one thing more.
19:36I find that Mr. Crawford has already spoken of his proposal at the parsonage to his sister and to Mrs. Grant.
19:45I have therefore informed your aunts briefly of the business.
19:50I am sure you may count on their forbearance.
19:55I cannot say sir how grateful I should be for all such kindness.
19:59My dear, there is no need.
20:04Go to your aunts.
20:18Fanny, you are come again.
20:21Here's your short aunt.
20:24I was detained a little.
20:26Yes my dear, we know what you are about.
20:45Well I am satisfied that Fanny can be of some use.
20:49If I had known she was to take her walk in the shrubbery this morning
20:52I should have asked her to go to my house and fetch the preserves you wanted from my larder.
20:57I was obliged to carry them myself.
21:00It was a great inconvenience.
21:01Then you know, sister, it was Sir Thomas himself who advised Fanny to walk in the shrubbery.
21:07And it was very kind of Sir Thomas, I am sure.
21:11But Fanny could have let us know she was going out.
21:13She would have had as good a walk to my house, I can assure you.
21:16But there is something about Fanny.
21:21I have often observed it.
21:23She likes to go her own way to work.
21:25She does not like to be dictated to.
21:28She takes her own independent walk whenever she can.
21:31She certainly has a little spirit of secrecy and independence and nonsense about her
21:39which I would advise her to get the better of.
21:43If she is able.
21:45Well Fanny, I have had an agreeable surprise.
22:00And I must speak of it once.
22:02I told Sir Thomas I must once.
22:06And then I shall have done.
22:08We certainly are a handsome family.
22:21I hope aunt, you don't reproach me.
22:26No, my dear.
22:29You cannot want me to marry.
22:33For you would miss me.
22:34Yes, I'm sure you would miss me too much for that.
22:38Oh, my dear.
22:39I should not think of missing you when such an offer comes in your way.
22:43If you were married to a man of such good estate as Mr Crawford.
22:48And you must be aware, Fanny,
22:51it is every young woman's duty to accept such an offer as that.
22:56I'm sure it must seem so, aunt.
22:59I know it must.
23:00And I will tell you what, Fanny,
23:06which is more than I did for Mariah,
23:09or than I may do for Julia,
23:12the next time Pug has a litter,
23:17you shall have a puppy.
23:23Why, Henry, do you not see me?
23:25Look who is here!
23:26Bertram!
23:33How do you, sir?
23:35Miss Crawford?
23:37Mr Crawford, I am glad to see you well.
23:40And have you ridden from Peterborough today?
23:42I left this morning.
23:43And how did you part from the Miss Owens?
23:45With much tenderness, I am sure.
23:47And you're ordained, Bertram.
23:49One sees it immediately.
23:51Am I so changed?
23:52Why, no.
23:54Henry, I do not think so.
23:56But much has changed in Mansfield.
23:58You have been too long away.
24:00My brother and I will soon be gone.
24:03I am invited to a friend's in London and Henry will convey me.
24:06Had you delayed your parting by one week more, you would not have found us.
24:10And you would not have had to see me return a clergyman.
24:13What else is altered since I was gone?
24:17Ah.
24:18No.
24:20For that you must apply to others.
24:22And to Miss Price, first of all.
24:24To Fanny.
24:26Yes, indeed.
24:28To Fanny, as I may now call her.
24:31But I shall see you again this evening, Bertram.
24:34Sir Thomas invites me to dine.
24:36Yet I shall not be there.
24:38Good day to you, Mr. Bertram.
24:51Farewell. A long farewell to all my greatness.
24:55Which was your doing, Crawford, not the least part of it.
25:00Lady Bertram.
25:03Miss Price.
25:05We are to join you.
25:07My father begs to be excused for a little while.
25:10He has a letter to write.
25:12And you are peacefully employed, I see ma'am.
25:14Very silent.
25:16We have not been silent for long.
25:18Fanny has been reading to me.
25:21She was in the middle of a very fine speech of that man's...
25:24Oh.
25:32What was his name?
25:34Was it Cardinal Woolsey, your ladyship means?
25:36Yes, it was indeed.
25:37That was the very speech.
25:39Wasn't it, Fanny?
25:41Why, Mr. Crawford, you quite astonish me.
25:45Pray, read it for us, do.
25:49I am sure you will speak it well.
25:51If you'll allow me.
25:54If you'll allow me.
26:04Farewell. A long farewell to all my greatness.
26:08This is the state of man.
26:12Today he puts forth the tender leaves of hope.
26:16Tomorrow blossoms and bears his blushing honours thick upon him.
26:21The third day comes a frost.
26:24A killing frost.
26:26And then he falls as I do.
26:29Vain pomp and glory of this world.
26:34I hate ye.
26:36I feel my heart new opened.
26:39Oh, how wretched is that poor man that hangs on princes' favours.
26:45There is, betwixt that smile we would aspire to.
26:49That sweet aspect of princes and their ruin.
26:52More pangs and fears than wars or women have.
26:56And when he falls, he falls like Lucifer.
27:01Never to rise again.
27:05That was quite beautiful.
27:15It was really like being at a theatre.
27:19I thank your ladyship.
27:21That play must be a favourite with you, Crawford.
27:24You seem to know it well.
27:25It will be a favourite, I believe, from this hour.
27:27But I do not know that I have had a volume of Shakespeare in my hands since I was fifteen.
27:34But Shakespeare one gets acquainted with without knowing how.
27:37Perhaps Crawford it is you who should have chosen my profession.
27:41The art of reading, a clear manner and good delivery are to be attended to.
27:45I feel sometimes I should like to be a clergyman.
27:48But then I do not know I should be fond of preaching often.
27:52Now and then perhaps.
27:54But not half a dozen Sundays together.
27:55Not for a constancy.
28:02It would not do for a constancy.
28:05You shake your head.
28:07What does that mean?
28:13Disapprobation, I fear.
28:15But of what?
28:17Only tell me if I displease you.
28:20Pray, sir, don't.
28:22Nay, I entreat you.
28:23For one moment.
28:25Put down your work.
28:27And tell me.
28:29What did that shake of the head mean?
28:30How can you, sir?
28:39You quite astonish me.
28:44Do I astonish you?
28:45I will explain to you instantly all that gives me an interest in what you look and do.
28:51I will not leave you to wonder long.
28:54You shook your head when I said I should not like to engage in the duties of a clergyman for a constancy.
29:01Yes, that was the word.
29:04Constancy.
29:06I am not afraid of it.
29:08I see nothing alarming in it.
29:09Did you think I ought?
29:10Perhaps, sir...
29:12Perhaps I thought it was a great pity you did not always know yourself as well as you seem to do at that moment.
29:27Well...
29:35I am happier than I was.
29:37Because I know more clearly your opinion of me.
29:43You think me unsteady.
29:45Easily swayed by a whim.
29:48Easily tempted.
29:50Easily put aside.
29:52No wonder, then.
29:57But we shall see.
29:59My conduct shall speak for me.
30:01Absence.
30:03Distance.
30:05Time shall speak for me.
30:07They shall prove that as far as you can be deserved of anybody, I do deserve you.
30:14You are infinitely my superior.
30:17That I know.
30:18You have some touches of the angel in you.
30:22But I'm not frightened.
30:24For it is not by quality of merit that you can be one.
30:28But by him who loves you most devotedly.
30:31By that right, I do and will deserve you.
30:39Are you alone?
30:41Miss Crawford.
30:42I must speak to you for a moment.
30:44Miss Crawford.
30:48Sad, sad girl.
30:50I do not know when I shall have done scolding you.
31:00Am I here again?
31:03Once only was I in this room before.
31:05Do you remember?
31:06I came to rehearse.
31:08Your cousin came too.
31:10You were our audience and our prompter.
31:13A delightful scene.
31:15Exactly here.
31:17In this part of the room.
31:19Here were the chairs.
31:21Here was I.
31:23Here was your cousin.
31:25Oh why will such things ever pass away?
31:34I have had a little fit as you may see but it's over now.
31:38So let us sit down and be comfortable.
31:40For as to scolding you Fanny, which I came here fully intending to do.
31:48I have not the heart for it.
31:51It is quite impossible to do anything but love you.
31:54And when I think that this is the last time of seeing you for I do not know how long.
31:59But you're going to friends.
32:01A particular friend.
32:03True, Mrs Fraser has been my intimate friend for years.
32:06But I have not the least inclination to go near her.
32:10I can think only of the friends I am leaving.
32:13Of my excellent sister.
32:15Of you.
32:16And the Bertrams.
32:19You have all so much more heart among you than one finds in the rest of the world at large.
32:26Oh how perfectly I remember it.
32:29Resolving to look for you upstairs.
32:34Looking in and seeing you here at this table with your needle and thread.
32:38And your cousin's astonishment when he walked in the door.
32:45Why Fanny.
32:48You are in an absolute reverie.
32:52Thinking I hope of one who is always thinking of you.
32:57Oh that I could transport you to London.
33:00If you could see how he is courted.
33:03How I am courted for his sake.
33:05Were I to tell you of all the girls who have been in love with him I should never have done.
33:09It is only you.
33:11You insensible Fanny who can think of him with anything like indifference.
33:14But are you really as insensible as you profess.
33:24Miss Crawford.
33:25No.
33:26I see you are not excellent creature.
33:29I shall not tease you.
33:31Everything will take its course.
33:34But my dear Fanny you must allow that you are not so absolutely unprepared as your cousin believes.
33:39You must have seen that he was trying to please you.
33:43At the ball.
33:45And before the ball.
33:47The necklace.
33:48Oh you received it just as it was meant.
33:50I remember it perfectly.
33:53Do you mean that your brother knew of the necklace beforehand?
33:58Oh Miss Crawford.
34:00That was not fair.
34:02Knew of it?
34:04It was his own thought entirely.
34:07His own doing.
34:09I'm ashamed to say the thought never entered my head.
34:12I was half afraid at the time of its being so.
34:15There was something in your look that frightened me.
34:18But not at first.
34:20Indeed I did not.
34:22It is as true as I sit here.
34:25And if I had suspected it nothing would have induced me to accept the necklace.
34:31Fanny.
34:34I shall believe you.
34:36As to your brother's attentions.
34:38I put it down simply to being his way.
34:40I am not blind.
34:42And I have seen in this family what Mr Crawford allowed himself in gallantries.
34:46Which did mean nothing.
34:48I cannot deny he has been a sad flirt.
34:51I have often scolded him for it.
34:53But very few young ladies have any affections worth caring for.
34:59I cannot think well of a man who sports with any woman's feelings.
35:04Oh I do not defend him.
35:06I leave him entirely at your mercy.
35:10When he has got you at Everingham you may lecture him as much as you please.
35:15But this I will say.
35:19That his liking to make girls a little in love with him is not half so dangerous to a wife's happiness as a tendency to fall in love himself.
35:29Which he has never been addicted to.
35:31And I do seriously and truly believe that Henry loves you and will love you with all his heart.
35:38If any man ever loved a woman forever I'm sure Henry will do as much for you.
35:45And so goodbye.
35:48My dear.
35:49My sweet.
35:50My excellent Fanny.
35:53I expect to see your cousin in town.
35:55He talks of being there.
35:57And the rush with St Julia I am sure of meeting again and again.
36:01And all but you.
36:03So I have but one favour to ask.
36:07You must write to me.
36:10Yes indeed.
36:11For I know you to be an excellent correspondent were not you writing a letter even as I came in.
36:16To my brother William.
36:17Our newest lieutenant.
36:19Henry was quite overjoyed in his success at getting William's commission.
36:22Oh yes.
36:23How very very kind.
36:25I hope they'll meet again.
36:27William writes to tell me that he doesn't sail until the spring and he hopes to be in Mansfield again before he leaves.
36:32Then you will miss me not at all.
36:36So farewell dear Fanny.
36:40Remember me with kindness.
36:50And my dear brother with something more.
37:10My dearest William.
37:11I have your letter by this morning's post.
37:14And you may well suppose how eagerly I shall count the weeks until I see you again.
37:19Miss Crawford and Mr Crawford left the parsonage this morning early.
37:25I know how much you would like to thank him in person.
37:29And yet I am not sorry to see him go.
37:32Of which despite all that he has done for you knowing my reasons William I hope you will forgive.
37:43Excellent sport.
37:44We shall have six braids between us.
37:45I never saw Mansfield woods so full of pheasants sir.
37:46Yet I think we've taken enough for today.
37:48I've been reflecting on your cousin.
37:50I mean Fanny.
37:51Yes sir.
37:52When William comes from Portsmouth I've conceived a notion that Fanny should return with him.
37:54Stay a little with her family.
37:55Perhaps until Easter.
37:56What say you?
37:57Well sir.
37:58It seems very fitting that Fanny should see her family again after so long.
37:59And I suppose...
38:00I don't know.
38:01I don't know.
38:02I don't know.
38:03That's enough for today.
38:04I've been reflecting on your cousin.
38:05I mean Fanny.
38:06Yes sir.
38:07When William comes from Portsmouth I've conceived a notion that Fanny should return with him.
38:13Stay a little with her family.
38:16Perhaps until Easter.
38:18What say you?
38:19Well sir it seems very fitting that Fanny should see her family again after so long.
38:26And I suppose...
38:28Yeah?
38:31She needs some further opportunity to consult her heart.
38:36The thing is good in itself sir and I believe could not be done at a better time.
38:39Yes sir it seemed to me.
38:41I felt it right and desirable and wanted only your opinion.
38:46Perhaps in her father's house she will consider in a more sober light the value of Mr. Crawford's feelings.
38:53So it shall be.
38:54Well sir Thomas and what does Fanny say?
39:00She shed some tears at first then seemed enraptious.
39:04I've sent Edmund to her.
39:05But can I do without her?
39:07My dear I think you may.
39:11And since I shall be here Fanny will scarcely be wanted or missed.
39:15How will the young people travel sir Thomas?
39:18They shall travel post.
39:20At your expense.
39:22It would be too generous.
39:25There will be room for twice their number in the chaise.
39:29I might go with them.
39:32After twenty years to see my poor dear sister Price again.
39:36With such an opportunity I must say sir Thomas I have half a mind to go with them.
39:41But then you know sister you must make the journey home at your own expense.
39:47For Fanny stays till east.
39:51Why yes indeed.
39:53That's true.
39:54I had not rightly considered it.
39:56And as you say Lady Batram you will need me here.
39:59I must sacrifice every pleasure where I may be of use.
40:05Dear sister Price must wait.
40:08I dare say you are right sister.
40:12Maybe as you tell me.
40:16Yet I am sure I shall miss Fanny.
40:20Very much.
40:26Fanny.
40:29My father has spoken to you.
40:51And are you happy in this plan?
40:54Oh yes.
40:57And to see them again.
41:00My family.
41:02The places I knew.
41:05Almost half my life since.
41:10But I shall be sorry to leave Mansfield Park.
41:14I shall say farewell to every room in the house.
41:17You will come back soon.
41:18It is not for long.
41:22Fanny.
41:23I shall write to you.
41:24When I have anything worth writing of.
41:25Something I hope from London of a certain person you will like to hear.
41:36You will be with William till the last moment before he leaves the shore.
41:37Yes.
41:38Dearest William.
41:39Hey Fanny.
41:40Hey Fanny.
41:41To think.
41:42You are to see the thrush sail out of Spithead.
41:43I tell you she's the finest sloop in the British fleet.
41:46Anybody in England would take her for an eight and twenty.
41:47And you William.
41:48In your uniform.
41:50Yes.
41:51And that to be sure.
41:52I wish I could have shown it at Mansfield Park.
41:53It's a cruel custom that it may be worn only to go aboard.
41:54Yes.
41:55How long before you are to see the thrush sail out of Spithead?
41:56I tell you she's the finest sloop in the British fleet.
41:57I tell you she's the finest sloop in the British fleet.
42:00Anybody in England would take her for an eight and twenty.
42:01And you William.
42:04In your uniform.
42:06Yes.
42:07And that to be sure.
42:10I wish I could have shown it at Mansfield Park.
42:15It's a cruel custom that it may be worn only to go aboard.
42:19Yes.
42:20How long before you see a change in it?
42:25For, I may tell you, I have some doubts of our first Lieutenant Fanny.
42:31I think he may be carried off.
42:34Aye.
42:35In our first engagement, too.
42:38Poor fellow.
42:39I shall be sorry for it.
42:42But I shall like to see you at home.
42:47And they have need of you.
42:50I do not know how it is.
42:52But we seem to want some of your nice ways and orderliness at my father's.
42:57The house is always in confusion.
43:02You will set things going in a better way, I am sure.
43:05You will tell my mother how it ought to be.
43:07No, William.
43:08Oh, she will not mind it.
43:10And you will be useful to Susan.
43:13And teach Betsy.
43:15And make the boys love and mind you.
43:17Hmm.
43:18How right and comfortable it will all be.
43:22Indeed, I hope it will.
43:25I hope they will love me.
43:27I hope they will love me.
43:55Yes.
43:56Sir.
43:57The thrush has gone out of our roof, please, sir.
43:58We're just in time, William.
43:59And one of the officers has been here.
44:00We've been looking through this half hour.
44:01The thrush went out of Parliament this morning.
44:02I saw her.
44:03Fanny, here is Sam.
44:04Glad you'll come, sister.
44:05It's a beautiful sight.
44:06They think she'll have orders in a day or two.
44:07And I'm to sail with you.
44:08And Mr. Campbell's been here at four o'clock to ask for you.
44:10He's got one of the thrush's boats and he's going off to her at six.
44:11We hope you'll be here to go with us.
44:12Come on.
44:13Here we are.
44:14We're here.
44:15We're giving our mistress.
44:16There are.
44:17It's fun.
44:18Okay.
44:19Do you know your sisters?
44:20Betsy.
44:21Miss Susan.
44:22Oh, I'm glad you'll come, sister.
44:23It's a beautiful sight.
44:24They think she'll have orders in a day or two.
44:25And I'm to sail with you.
44:26And Mr. Campbell's been here at four o'clock to ask for you.
44:27He's got one of the thrush's boats and he's going off to her at six.
44:28They hope you'll be here to go with us.
44:29Come on.
44:30Here we are.
44:31We're here.
44:32Here we are.
44:33We're here.
44:34Do you know your sisters?
44:35Betsy.
44:36Miss Susan.
44:37But you're grown.
44:38I'll help the driver with your trunk.
44:39Where's Rebecca?
44:40I'm glad I am to see you.
44:41But have you heard the news about the thrush?
44:42Here's the parlour, Manny.
44:43How do you like Arlo?
44:44Three days before we had any thought of it.
44:45And what am I to do about Sam's things?
44:46They will never be ready in time.
44:47It takes me quite unawares.
44:48And now you must be off to spit here too.
44:49And everything comes at once.
44:50To be sure, I had much rather she'd stayed in, Harbour.
44:52And I'm going to go with you.
44:53I'm going to go with you.
44:54I'm going to go with you.
44:55I'm going to go with you.
44:56I'm going to go with you.
44:57It takes me quite unawares.
44:58And now you must be off to spit here too.
45:00And everything comes at once.
45:01To be sure, I'd much rather she'd stayed in, Harbour.
45:04But if there's a boat ashore, we must be off.
45:06And there's no help for it.
45:07But come, Mother.
45:09Mother!
45:10You've hardly looked at our dear Fanny yet.
45:16You've grown a woman.
45:18Poor dears.
45:19How tired you both must be.
45:20Betsy and I have been watching for you this far far.
45:22From the window.
45:23When did you get anything to eat?
45:25Shall you want meat or only a dish of tea?
45:27Some tea, Mama.
45:28There'll be no time to dress as steak and we have no butcher at hand.
45:30But if you would like some tea...
45:32Betsy, my dear.
45:33Run into the kitchen and tell Rebecca to put the water on.
45:36I wish we could get the bell mended.
45:38Betsy is a handy messenger.
45:40Dear me, what a sad fire we've got now.
45:43And I dare say you're both starved and cold.
45:45Draw up a chair, my dear.
45:47I cannot think what Rebecca has been about.
45:50I'm sure I told her to bring some coal some half an hour ago.
45:53Susan, you should have taken care of the fire.
45:56I was upstairs, Mama, moving my things.
45:59You know you had but just then settled that my sister Fanny and I should have the other room.
46:03And Rebecca would give me no help.
46:05What's here?
46:06Yeah!
46:07Yeah!
46:08Yeah!
46:09You come.
46:10Welcome back, my boy.
46:11Have you heard the news?
46:12Father, I have.
46:13The thrush went out of harbour.
46:14Sharp's the word you see this morning.
46:15By God, you're just in time.
46:16She was a fine sight.
46:17I wouldn't have been out of the way for a thousand pounds.
46:18No.
46:19And there she lays at Spithead.
46:20A perfect beauty.
46:21Close by the endymion.
46:22Just between her and the clear patch.
46:23Well, that's just where I'd have put her myself.
46:24It's the best birth at Spithead.
46:25I was up there on the platform two hours this morning just looking at her.
46:26Here is my sister, sir.
46:27Who's her?
46:28It's so dark you don't see her.
46:29Here is Fanny.
46:30Here is Fanny.
46:31By God, and I quite forgotten.
46:32I've forgotten.
46:33I'm quite forgotten.
46:34I've got to go away for a thousand pounds.
46:35And there she lays at Spithead.
46:36A perfect beauty.
46:37Close by the endymion.
46:38Just between her and the clear patch.
46:39Well, that's just where I'd have put her myself.
46:41It's the best birth at Spithead.
46:42I was up there on the platform two hours this morning just looking at her.
46:47Here is my sister, sir.
46:49Who's her?
46:50It's so dark you don't see her.
46:52Here is Fanny.
46:54By God, and I quite forgotten.
46:59Howdy is it?
47:06You see how the girl has grown?
47:08Yes indeed.
47:13Mr. Campbell has been here, you know.
47:16Mr. Campbell.
47:17He has one of the boat so I must be off at once.
47:19I've been to Turner's to a batch of mess.
47:21It's all in a way to be done.
47:23I shouldn't have wondered if you had your orders tomorrow.
47:26But you cannot sail with this wind.
47:28No, don't say.
47:29Captain Walsh thinks you will certainly have a cruise westward with the elephants.
47:34The devil take these young dogs and they sing out.
47:37Oh, you confounded pipe boys, I'll be after you.
47:41You don't hear your father.
47:43It's mine.
47:44It's mine.
47:45He can't give me some help.
47:47Goodbye, Fanny.

48:30Did you find it, Betsy, my dear?
48:31I'm sure it is in the drawer.
48:32Yes, my love.
48:33What shall I do?
48:34If you have needlework...
48:35Oh, no, no, Fanny.
48:36To be sure it will confuse me.
48:37I know what I'm about.
48:38What have you there, my love?
48:39Come, show it to me.
48:40Mama!
48:41She has taken it again!
48:42It is my knife!
48:43Sister Mary gave it to me on her death bed and Betsy will only spoil it.
48:46You know you promised me that Betsy should not be it in her hands.
48:48Oh, Susan, why must you be so cross?
48:49Come, Betsy.
48:50How cross Susan is to us.
