Short filmTranscript
01:00It is much too large for us.
01:03There are no others to let in the neighborhood.
01:07We've seen them all.
01:09I still cannot believe it.
01:12Father is hardly buried in Norland.
01:14It is not our home anymore.
01:16How could he do this to us?
01:18He had no say in the matter.
01:20The estate was entailed to John and Grandfathers.
01:23Well, a father only had it for his own lifetime.
01:25I must say, John and Fanny showed indecent haste in taking possession.
01:30I'm sure it was all Fanny's doing.
01:32Upon my life, I do not know a more unpleasant woman.
01:36Norland is John's home now, but I'm sure we may rely on him to show a proper feeling for us.
01:41I shall write to my relations.
01:45Perhaps they can help us.
01:47Leave the district?
01:48Why not?
01:50They have got to find somewhere to live.
01:52Oh, Eleanor.
01:53Where are your feelings?
01:55Yes, I govern them.
02:14Fanny, my dear love, it was my father's last request to me
02:20that I should assist his widow and daughters.
02:23But something must be done.
02:26That something need not be three thousand pounds.
02:31He required the promise.
02:33I could not do less than give it.
02:35You surely did not promise to impoverish our dear little Harry, our only child.
02:41And for whom?
02:42The Mustache Woods are only your half-sisters.
02:45That is very true.
02:46But my father?
02:48He did not know what he was talking of.
02:50Ten to one, he was but light-headed at the time.
02:53To be sure, the time may come when little Harry may regret that so large a sum was parted with.
03:00If he should have a numerous family, for instance.
03:02To be sure he would.
03:03Perhaps then it would be better for all parties.
03:13If the sum were diminished, one half,
03:16five hundred pounds apiece would still be a prodigious increase to their fortune.
03:20Beyond all dreams.
03:22And for half-sisters.
03:23I would not wish to do anything mean.
03:27My dear, they have been left five hundred pounds a year.
03:31It strikes me they can want no addition at all.
03:35That is very true.
03:37Perhaps then it would be better to do something just for their mother.
03:47An annuity.
03:48Say, what, a hundred pounds a year?
03:51That is better than parting with fifteen hundred pounds.
03:55But then if Mrs. Dashwood should live for fifteen years,
03:58we should be completely taken in.
04:00My dear Fanny, her life cannot be worth half that purchase.
04:03How can we tell?
04:04People always live forever when there is an annuity to be paid to them.
04:09It is certainly hard to have that yearly drain on one's income.
04:13And you get no thanks for it either.
04:17If I were you,
04:19I would not allow them anything yearly.
04:24I think you are right, my love.
04:27A present of a hundred...
04:29Of fifty pounds.
04:31Now and then.
04:32Hmm?
04:33To speak the truth,
04:35I do not believe your father had any idea of giving them money.
04:40He only meant you to help them in kindly ways.
04:42Now and then.
04:45Such as a basket of game or fish
04:48when they're in season.
04:50And helping them to find another dwelling place.
04:55Upon my word,
04:56I believe that is exactly what my father meant.
04:59Oh, my dear Eleanor.
05:05Was the house you inspected to your satisfaction?
05:08I did not.
05:14Mama and Marianne are resting.
05:17Well, never mind, my dear.
05:19We are delighted to have you here.
05:21Well, you keep on trying.
05:22There is nothing like a home of your own.
05:26Oh, I beg your pardon.
05:33I was not aware.
05:33No, no, no.
05:34No, no.
05:34Come in, come in.
05:35Come in.
05:35Edward.
05:35May I introduce my wife's brother,
05:39Mr. Edward Ferrars.
05:41Miss Dashwood.
05:41Edward is to stay with us for a while.
05:48He has just come from Tunbridge Wells
05:50where our dear mother has a very fine estate.
05:53Oh, yes, a very fine place.
05:56The rents bring in...
05:58How much would you say, Edward?
06:01I hardly know.
06:02Well, the timber alone is worth a fortune.
06:06There's no need to blush, Edward.
06:07All yours one day, eh?
06:09Edward, don't stand there like a dummy.
06:13Do please sit down, Mr. Ferrars.
06:16Thank you, Miss Dashwood.
06:33Have you ever been inclined to study one of the arts?
06:37My mother has other plans for me.
06:39Oh, may I?
06:46What are they?
06:48Forgive me, I...
06:49Well, we are not of one mind in the family.
06:53I'm sorry.
07:02Is that comfortable?
07:10Do sit down.
07:12You will not intrude.
07:13We both appear to like science.
07:16Um...
07:17No, if you will excuse me.
07:22My morning walk.
07:25Good morning, Miss Dashwood.
07:29Good morning, Mr. Ferrars.
07:30It was a most delicious dinner, my dear.
07:50The secret with cooks is to be firm, especially about stealing.
07:54I must confess we never had that trouble with ours.
07:58Having made a clean sweep, I would not know.
08:00I preferred to start afresh with servants.
08:03As you will, I dare say.
08:05When you find your new home.
08:07I hope that will be soon.
08:10Though you will not need many servants.
08:13Ah, I am glad you did not daly too long over the port.
08:17You should know, Fanny, that neither of us is a three-bottle man.
08:21I should think not.
08:23Temperance is the begetter of wealth.
08:26Ma'am.
08:26Thank you, John.
08:30And what shall we do now?
08:33Mary-Anne, will you play us something?
08:36Mary-Anne is quite an accomplished musician.
08:39Oh, please do, Miss Mary.
08:41Perhaps later.
08:46I do enjoy conversation.
08:49No, thank you.
08:51Elevating the conversation.
08:52Do you read much, Mr. Ferris?
08:57Oh, I am a middling reader.
08:58And your preference?
09:00Essays.
09:01Oh, fiddlediddy.
09:02Dry bones.
09:04Reading should stir the heart.
09:06Animate the feelings.
09:08My sister refers to the so-called gothic or romantic novels.
09:12Written mostly by ladies, for ladies.
09:14They are written for people with heart.
09:17The heroines are brought to a swoon by heroes who are ruthless, powerful,
09:20and ready to call upon the devil, if need be.
09:24I would not call your heroes gentlemen, Miss Mary-Anne.
09:27Gentlemen?
09:29So much for you, Mr. Ferris.
09:32Excuse me, Miss Mary-Anne.
09:36Miss Dashwood, you sketch, of course.
09:39Yes.
09:40And do a little with watercolors.
09:42And you go out early.
09:44The light is so beautiful, then.
09:46Yes, it is.
09:46Mr. Ferris, why do you not entertain us?
09:51I, Miss Mary-Anne.
09:53Yes, look what I found.
09:54The works of William Cooper.
09:56You have heard of the poet Cooper?
09:59I have heard of the poet Cooper.
10:01Read us one, Mr. Ferris.
10:03Mary-Anne, why do you not play us something now?
10:06When Mr. Ferris has read.
10:08That's a bargain.
10:10Here's one.
10:11Why not, Edward?
10:13It will cultivate your talent for public speaking.
10:17You know how ardently our dear mother wishes you to do that.
10:21Yes, come along, Edward.
10:23And practice will be good.
10:24The poplar field.
10:37The poplars are felled.
10:40Farewell to the shade.
10:43And the whispering sound of the cool colonnade.
10:47How spiritless.
10:49How tame was Mr. Redwood's manner in reading to us last night.
10:52I fear his heart was not in it.
10:56Heart?
10:57What heart?
10:58I could not understand how you listened with such composure.
11:02He did as you asked him.
11:06Dear, that beautiful poetry which has frequently driven me almost wild.
11:11Pronounced with such impenetrable calmness.
11:14Such dreadful indifference.
11:16You would certainly have done more justice to simple and elegant prose.
11:19Mr. Edward Ferris does not attract me by a single grace of person or dress.
11:26He is stiff.
11:27His manners are pleasing.
11:30Overcome his shyness and you will glimpse an open affectionate heart.
11:34I grant he is amiable.
11:36But he is not the kind of young man...
11:38Whom you seek.
11:39There is something wanting in his eyes.
11:44That spirit.
11:45That fire one looks for.
11:49Alas, the more I know of the world, the more am I convinced I shall never meet a man whom I can really love.
11:55I require so much.
11:57It is rather early to despair of such happiness.
12:02You're not yet 17.
12:07Making a picture is all a question of harmony.
12:10First there is the harmony of form.
12:12One's eyes discover a pattern in nature that pleases.
12:16Then there is the harmony of colour.
12:18As for instance?
12:19Yes.
12:21He is an artist.
12:23Excuse me.
12:43Miss Dashwood?
12:45Be my judge.
12:47Do these.
12:47Do these compose a harmony?
12:52Oh, thank you.
12:56Mr. Ferris.
12:58Please don't run away until you've heard my verdict.
13:17Every time I look at your breakfast set, I confess I envy you.
13:27I am fond of it.
13:31Let me pluck up courage and ask.
13:34Must you take it with you when you leave?
13:37Well, it never occurred to me to do otherwise.
13:40It does seem to belong to this house.
13:43For all that your dear husband left it to you.
13:48With other pieces of furniture which will be so out of place in a small house.
13:52I shall find room for them.
13:54It does seem a little unfair to John.
14:01As the heir.
14:02I sometimes wonder if his father was rambling at the time.
14:09You are misinformed, Fanny.
14:11I am extremely sorry if it will grieve you to part with the china and the pieces of furniture.
14:17But they came to me from my own family on my marriage.
14:20Oh, I'm so sorry.
14:23I did not know.
14:25Would you excuse me?
14:27Oh, please.
14:28I have so little time to talk to you all.
14:31Oh.
14:32Really?
14:34Even Edward, my own brother, is much preoccupied lately.
14:39Indeed?
14:42He is an excellent young man, is he not?
14:45Yes.
14:46So he appears to me.
14:49As the heir to a rich estate, he has a great future, we are all sure.
14:54Mother wishes to get him into Parliament.
14:57Well, if that is his wish.
15:01It is what mother wishes that counts.
15:05And then there is the question of finding a suitable match for him.
15:10Oh, yes.
15:13I'm sure.
15:14He needs a lady whose rank and fortune at least equal his own,
15:21if he is to reach the highest places in the land.
15:24Of course, not everyone understands this.
15:28Do they not?
15:30Wherever he goes, there is some foolish young woman who tries to engage his attentions.
15:36Well, fortunately, he is of age.
15:40And can look after himself.
15:42Oh, he had better.
15:46Mother still controls his purse strings.
15:48If Edward ever acted like a fool, all would go to his brother, Robert.
15:55But Edward is not a fool.
15:58I sincerely trust he is not.
16:01Of course.
16:02I knew that a lady of your experience would understand.
16:07But you know the impudence of some of these girls.
16:11I have experienced a good deal of impudence, Fanny.
16:15But the worst of it has not been from the unmarried.
16:32Oh, my dears.
16:46I have been offered a house.
16:48A house?
16:48Where?
16:50I hope it is not far from Norland.
16:53It is in Devonshire.
16:54Devonshire?
16:55So far from here?
16:57It is on the estate of a kinsman of mine,
16:59Sir John Middleton of Barton Park.
17:01Four miles from Exeter.
17:04Exeter?
17:04Oh, ma, I'm sure it will be quite splendid.
17:07Well, it sounds quite small.
17:09But it is all we need.
17:10Oh, well.
17:12A kinsman landed.
17:14And titled.
17:15You have done well to obtain his protection.
17:18I shall pay rent.
17:20Against his wishes.
17:23I hope you and Fanny will visit us there.
17:26Oh, possibly.
17:27If only I could have helped you with the cost of moving.
17:31But, alas, the expense of running Norland is prohibitive.
17:35I can afford it.
17:37Mm-hmm.
17:45We have made our other farewells.
17:48They should have been here to see you off.
17:50They're busy people.
17:53But you will visit us.
17:56I shall visit you.
17:58You will be most welcome.
18:00Indeed.
18:01Dear, dear Norland.
18:08When shall I cease to regret you?
18:11Could you know the pain I suffer of bidding you farewell?
18:17And you, ye well-known trees.
18:20Oh, but you will bloom on.
18:22Marianne!
18:22You, you are unaware that never again shall I enjoy you.
18:29But never shall I forget you.
18:32Farewell.
18:34Marianne, we are waiting.
18:36Oh, you.
18:38You are heartless.
19:00Cheers.
19:02Cheers.
19:04Cheers.
19:05Cheers.
19:06Cheers.
19:07Cheers.
19:07Susan, are you here?
19:37Welcome to Barton Cottage ladies.
19:59I'm Tom.
20:05I do odd jobs and the garden.
20:09This is Susan.
20:11Will you step inside, ma'am?
20:13Yes, Tom.
20:15Hmm?
20:16This is the other parlour, ma'am.
20:27This is the other parlour, ma'am.
20:40Beds are ready and the room's well aired.
20:44Not much unpacked in case we've done something wrong.
20:47That is excellent, Tom.
20:50Tea will be a few minutes.
20:52Oh, thank you, Susan.
20:57Sir John's expecting you.
20:58You should be here in a minute.
21:00Oh.
21:01Had a boy on watch for you.
21:03Well, I want that hedge clip before he comes, if you'll excuse me.
21:09Well, my dears, what do you think of the cottage?
21:25I think it will suit us very well, ma'am.
21:27It's all so dreary.
21:29Oh, when I think of Norland.
21:33Oh, it is modest, yes.
21:35But next year we may think about building.
21:38We could throw the two parlours together.
21:40Build on upstairs.
21:41Ma'am, we cannot do all that on 500 pounds a year.
21:45Oh.
21:46Oh.
21:47Oh.
21:48Oh.
21:49Oh.
21:50Oh.
21:51Oh.
21:52Oh.
21:53Oh.
21:54Oh.
21:55Oh.
21:56Oh.
21:57Cousin.
21:58Oh, it's a long time since I've seen you.
22:01Hmm.
22:02Dear Sir John.
22:03Welcome to all of you ladies.
22:06Oh, allow me to introduce my wife, Lady Middleton.
22:09How do you do, Lady Middleton?
22:11How do you do?
22:12May I present Miss Dashwood, Miss Marianne,
22:15Lady Middleton, Sir John.
22:17How do you do?
22:18A great pleasure, young ladies.
22:21We entertain much and be an ornament to our circle.
22:26Sally, sit.
22:32And now tell me, have you ever seen a finer boy at six than my William?
22:36Oh, never.
22:38I think one contains China.
22:40Play outside, William.
22:42Oh, come on.
22:44My darling is so spiritual.
22:46What a tradition.
22:48Well, my dears.
22:50We shan't stay long.
22:52You've a lot to do.
22:53But you'll find Tom a good fellow.
22:55When he can train Susan up.
22:57I did want you to stay with us up at the park till he had this place all ship-shaped.
23:01Yes, so you wrote.
23:02But it will be quicker to settle in at once.
23:04John!
23:05That is William.
23:06He's come to some harm.
23:07I know it.
23:08No harm, my lady.
23:09Except my cucumber frame.
23:10In the shock, John, we must take him home.
23:12Oh, coming, my dear.
23:14It was only meant to say welcome.
23:16But you'll come and have dinner with us tomorrow night.
23:18Oh, please don't.
23:19Down here, no arguments.
23:20There won't be a crowd.
23:21Just Lady Middleton's mother and my old friend Colonel Brandon.
23:25Be ready for my carriage at four.
23:27Help!
23:28Boy.
23:29The sooner he goes to eat and gets thrash black and blue, the better.
23:34Good day to you, cousins.
23:36Good day, Sir John.
23:38I will say this for the family.
23:43We do have a jolly time.
23:46So I see, isn't it?
23:48Oh, this is a quiet night.
23:50Your daughter does play nicely.
23:53I was very fond of playing the piano forte when I was a girl.
24:05But I gave it up on my marriage.
24:07And of course, my two dear children take up a great deal of my time.
24:12This is a nice touch, your sister.
24:14I'm only sorry there aren't more people here to enjoy it.
24:17I did ride down the valley this morning to invite some of the neighbors
24:20but everybody was full of engagements.
24:22Oh, yes.
24:23Excellent.
24:24And a half of that song you promised us, eh?
24:27My dear husband left me well off when I was widowed.
24:40But I had two girls to get off me hands.
24:42And I pride myself I've done well.
24:44I am.
24:45You wouldn't think Lady Middleton was me daughter, would you?
24:48Such a grand thing.
24:50Oh, I can't tell you.
24:53The young ladies' academies I tried and the deportment teachers.
24:57But I took her a bout with me, mother.
25:00Oh, thank you.
25:01Only way to make a good catch for your girls, take them a bout.
25:06I married me other girl well, too.
25:07Thank you, sir.
25:08A Mr. Palmer.
25:09Every bit as rich as Sir John.
25:12My girls and I are so happy to go.
25:15But you've got to get an awful idea.
25:18What else is there for a widow lady to do?
25:21Oh, dear.
25:22Dear father, have you any gold, or silver to set me free?
25:32There's one you've made much for a start.
25:35I couldn't wish for a finer gentleman than Colonel Brandon.
25:40He's right for it, too.
25:42Though I have got no gold, nor silver to set you free.
25:50On the lookout, I'll warrant.
25:52Shall we listen to my sister?
25:54Sure don't mind, my dear.
25:56Plenty of young men here at last to entertain you.
25:58Oh, the prickety bush.
26:01I really love having young people around me.
26:04I've got them plenty to eat.
26:06Picnics by day, dancing at night.
26:09That's what I call light.
26:11A quiet moment and listen to the music.
26:20Miss Marianne, another song, yes?
26:26Sing me the prickety bush.
26:28Ha, ha, ha!
26:30Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
26:32A quiet moment and waves in the solar system.
26:34In the light, I will retain you blue.
26:35I will bring you blue and blue.
26:36I will dry, too.
26:38I will be in the light.
26:40This is a light to me.
26:41The light is one full of the light.
26:42I have the light.
26:43It is a light to the light.
26:45In the light, I will be a light to the light.
