00:01Oh, so you're in here now?
00:04I thought I heard a noise.
00:06I thought you were resting your leg.
00:08Oh, the fire in the drawing room is a misery.
00:12Have you found something?
00:15No.
00:16No.
00:18I just wanted to see if I could still hear the sea.
00:23Stories for children, Cassandra.
00:25You could never hear the sea.
00:30The sea sounds so calm today.
00:33I cannot wait to stand beside it in Sidmouth.
00:35I'll miss you when you're gone.
00:37It is only for a season.
00:39The Austens of Hampshire are embarking on the first of their great holiday schemes.
00:43You'll hardly recognise us when we return.
00:46Isabella will have grown so much by then.
00:51It is brother James and sister Mary.
00:54They've arrived.
00:55How lovely.
01:06Where's Anna?
01:10Anna!
01:15Anna!
01:24I've grown two whole shoe sizes.
01:28Two?
01:29Let's hope you stop growing soon or there'll be no shoes left in the country to fit you.
01:33Save giant shoes.
01:37Hold it to your ear and listen.
01:40Can you hear the sea?
01:43I can hear it.
01:44I can hear it.
01:45What does the sea look like?
01:51Well, you will soon know.
01:53Because we three are going to the seaside.
01:57What a wonderful idea.
02:00What a splendid idea.
02:03I'm sure your father and I will manage without you, Anna.
02:15My dear Isabella, please try to pull yourself together.
02:19Mary.
02:21Mary, she has just lost her father.
02:22I am aware.
02:24And it is sad.
02:25But he was elderly and that is the natural order of things.
02:29It should be easier to bear.
02:31But there is nothing written to tell each one of us how we must endure grief.
02:41Isabella, perhaps a few chapters from your Aunt Jane's novel may make a welcome distraction.
02:47Have you been reading aloud from Jane's novels?
02:51I thought your father had expressly forbidden that practice.
02:54As you have reminded me, Aunt Mary, my father is no longer here.
02:58Perhaps I could recite some of your Uncle James's poetry.
03:03That is kind.
03:05But I find myself pleasantly surprised by how much I am enjoying persuasion.
03:10Anne Elliot is a most interesting character.
03:14A pleasant sort of person.
03:17Sensible.
03:19With not much drama about her.
03:22And I am most keen to hear the ending of her story before I am evicted from this house.
03:28Will she have her happy ending?
03:30Well, we must read on then and find out.
03:34I must know if she is to be married.
03:38Is that the only outcome that would be happy?
03:42It is.
03:42Oh, Isabella.
03:45There are so many other ways for women like us to find happiness.
03:51Are there?
03:53Read on.
03:54Please, Cassandra.
03:56From this time, Captain Wentworth and Anne Elliot were repeatedly in the same circle.
04:05They had no conversation together.
04:07No intercourse but what the commonest civility required.
04:12Once so much to each other.
04:15And now, nothing.
04:18Now they were as strangers.
04:21Nay, worse than strangers.
04:24For they could never become acquainted.
04:27Oh, Cassandra.
04:28Your sister understood affairs of the heart better than anyone.
04:33Please tell me, did she ever know love?
04:38Writing was Jane's greatest love.
04:42She took great comfort from the heroes in her books, but in life, no man was ever worthy.
04:51Forgive me, my dear, but I think your memory fails here.
04:55Wasn't there a gentleman you both met in Sidmouth?
04:58The season you spent there, remember?
05:01And wasn't there even rivalry between you?
05:06Rivalry?
05:07In love?
05:11I have no idea what your Aunt Mary is talking about.
05:14If I recall, this gentleman seems greatly attracted to Jane.
05:25Do excuse me, madam.
05:26Do excuse me, madam.
05:36How romantic.
05:38To fall in love by the sea.
05:44What a lovely confection.
05:49Your Aunt Jane would be very amused to find herself the heroine of a romantic triangle.
06:00I am afraid I find myself exceedingly tired, and my head hurts.
06:05Okay, I do hope I have not caught a chill from today's wonderings.
06:11No, no, I can manage.
06:17Good night.
06:56Come along now.
06:58Jane!
07:00Jane!
07:01Shall we go?
07:04Here, let me tie it for you.
07:10Why do you only wear black, Aunt Cassie?
07:12Because.
07:14It becomes me.
07:17Your Aunt Jane is happy here.
07:20Let's just go shopping.
07:21Yes, please.
07:25Yes, please.
07:40Oh, look at the yellow one, Aunt Cassie.
07:42Do you see it?
07:43You all look so pretty in that.
07:45Far better than boring old black.
07:48It is very lovely, my dear.
07:54Oh, look at the blue, Auntie Cassie.
07:56It's the colour of the sea.
07:58Oh, isn't I like the yellow best, because it's like the sun?
08:03It is indeed.
08:06Let's come back for some ribbons tomorrow.
08:08What a charming child.
08:14Do excuse me, madam.
08:22Be of mine pertinence, miss, but that is the most excellent shell.
08:28Yes, it is.
08:31Mama, are you ready?
08:33Thank you, my dear.
08:38Good day to you.
08:52Oh, I do like it here.
08:54Oh, I like it very much.
08:56So what have you been up to since the beach, my darlings?
08:58I hope you haven't been sitting in here when outside there's all manner of magnificence.
09:02Look, Aunt Jane, I found this.
09:04It's my collection.
09:06Oh, that's a beauty.
09:09Cassie, I think the sea is beginning to work its magic.
09:12I spiced some colour in this landlubber's face.
09:14We'll make a pirate out of her yet.
09:18I think Aunt Cass is recovering some of her bloom, too, in spite of her best efforts.
09:23You look better.
09:25The nice man we met in the dress shop said it was a most excellent shell.
09:30Nice man?
09:31What nice man is this, pray tell?
09:35I'll go and check on Mother, and then we can make plans for the rest of the day.
09:41Is Grandmama poorly?
09:43No, my dear.
09:44Your Grandmama likes to take to her bed whenever we arrive anywhere new.
09:48She can test the mattress, meet the doctors, sample the wares of the local apothecary.
09:52It's her way of feeling at home.
09:54Like all the best invalids, she will outlive us all.
09:57Jane, that's not fair.
10:00Mama has been quite bilious since we arrived.
10:02Travel affects her.
10:08Oh, they're beautiful.
10:10My bowels feel much steadier, Cassie, after what was the most frightful evacuation.
10:17Thanks be to the Lord.
10:19I think I will like this apothecary.
10:22He has a good feel for my system.
10:28Beautiful evening.
10:30Yes, quite beautiful.
10:34Mrs. George Austen.
10:36Mr. Henry Hobdate, my pleasure, ma'am.
10:39This is my eldest daughter, Miss Austen.
10:44Yes, I do believe I've made your daughter's acquaintance before.
10:48Miss Austen.
10:50Passing encounter in a shop, is all.
10:53Indeed.
10:56And this is my other daughter, Miss Jane Austen.
11:01Delighted.
11:02Likewise.
11:03Have a lovely evening.
11:08Come.
11:10Father and Anna will be waiting.
11:12Impatiently, no doubt.
11:38I don't want to go all the way up there, Grandpa Park.
11:40We don't have to, my pet.
11:42We have every chance of discovering treasures amongst these rocks.
11:46Good morning, sir.
11:47Splendid day for fossil hunting, is it not?
11:49Indeed it is, sir.
11:52Now, my granddaughter has declared it the perfect day to unearth hidden treasures from the past.
11:58Well, she has come to the right place.
12:00Ladies.
12:01I'm not a lady, I'm far too young.
12:03My apologies.
12:06Now, you are a serious fossil hunter, are you not?
12:09I am.
12:10Well, I've already found some excellent specimens that you might be interested in.
12:14Let me furnish you with the tools of the trade.
12:17We are blessed to have such an expert with us.
12:20Ah, no expert.
12:21More of an enthusiastic amateur.
12:35Do you think I'll find a sea monster, Mr. Hobday?
12:39Well, perhaps not a monster, but a sea creature, certainly.
12:43Some sea creatures, fossils, are found at the top of mountains.
12:47Isn't that so?
12:47You see, many years ago, the earth was almost completely covered by water.
12:51And then, over time, those waters receded to reveal the land beneath.
13:04Do you think I'll find a sea creature again?
13:06You may well do.
13:30What am I looking at?
13:32It's the shape of a worm.
13:33Mr. Hobday says it must be thousands of years old.
13:36Many thousands, even.
13:37That is evidence of a creature that lived on earth, even before man.
13:42What are you drawing, my dear?
13:44My daughter is an artist of considerable talent.
13:47Papa.
13:47Oh, look, she's captured your likeness brilliantly.
13:51May I see?
13:52It is but a sketch.
13:56Now, young lady, let us leave Mr. Hobday in peace.
14:03Mr. Hobday is so clever, Aunt Jane.
14:06Is he now?
14:07He knows everything.
14:08Does he know?
14:09Aunt Cassie drew a sketch of him.
14:12Did she know?
14:14She did, and it was quite the likeness.
14:16Not just of him.
14:18I drew all three of them, while I was bored waiting for them to finish.
14:22And what was your opinion of Mr. Hobday, husband?
14:26Well, given we hardly know him, he struck me as unusually gifted in all that is agreeable.
14:34And now, Cassie, pray tell me, do you share your father's opinion?
14:42I must say, I do.
14:44So much so that I believe he would be an ideal suitor for Jane.
14:49For me?
14:50Yes, you.
14:51He's intelligent.
14:52He reads.
14:55He knows a great deal about the history of mankind.
14:59You must think of your future, Jane.
15:01It matters not to jot which of you, as long as it's one of you.
15:13I have no intention of taking tea with Mrs. Hobday, or anyone for that matter.
15:18Far too busy.
15:19I have a chapter I must finish.
15:23Well, what if he's there?
15:25What if he was there?
15:27Mr. Hobday.
15:29You might find him to your liking.
15:33I won't find him to my liking.
15:55One moment.
15:59How is your headache?
16:01I...
16:01You retired rather abruptly, and I thought I'd look in on you.
16:07Was it something I said?
16:09No.
16:10No, not at all.
16:12I can't even remember what we were talking about.
16:15How is Eliza's room?
16:16Cold.
16:18This house is like a grave now.
16:22Well, good night, good night.
16:24Sleep well, my dear.
16:29I don't know.
16:38Oh, Mrs. Austin, I do sympathize.
16:40I'm here for the sea air, but this wretched body of mine has not let me outdoors all week.
16:45How awful.
16:47Well, I was struck down by biliousness the minute we arrived.
16:53It'll be her evacuations next.
16:55Perhaps the floor will open up and swallow us.
16:57It would be a blessed relief.
16:59And what of Mr. Hobday?
17:02We lost my husband.
17:04Four years ago.
17:05I'm sorry to hear that.
17:08What did he ail from?
17:11A tumour.
17:12A tumour?
17:13We saw the best of men, but there was nothing to be done.
17:19I see you are studying our books.
17:21Do novels interest you both?
17:23Very much so.
17:24You have some of our favourites here.
17:26My sister and I never go anywhere without Sir Charles Granderson by our side.
17:30These are my son's books, and he reads to me every night.
17:34Perhaps that shall be our next book.
17:36Your son enjoys the works of the Madame Burnie and Hedgeworth.
17:39Cassie seemed to think he was of the more scientific persuasion.
17:43He's a scientist and an artist.
17:45A philosopher and a lover of the novel.
17:48I do believe he could take over the world if he were not so insistent on looking after his poor,
17:54infirm mother.
17:56Would you like some cake?
17:58Well, you did say he was perfect.
18:00I'm not sure what my constitution would take.
18:07That curate was handsome enough and single from what I hear,
18:12but his sermon was a touch...
18:14Terrifying, Mama.
18:16Mrs. Austin.
18:18Oh, well, this is a coincidence.
18:21And I must say, the happiest one.
18:25Mr. Hobday, Mrs. Hobday?
18:27Mrs. Austin.
18:29How did you find the sermon today, sir?
18:31Oh, I thought the young lad did well enough, considering his church was hardly full to brimming.
18:36That must explain his histrionics in the pulpit.
18:39Perhaps he's hoping his reputation for hysteria will travel and drum up more gullible trade from out of town.
18:45My dear Jane is entitled to preach in his own manner.
18:48My father is being polite.
18:50That sermon was not to our taste.
18:52It was vulgar and excessive.
18:53What did you think, Mr. Hobday?
18:55Jane, you cannot ask Mr. Hobday of his opinion when you've been so sure of your own.
19:00Do forgive my sister, Mr. Hobday.
19:03She's not usually quite so outspoken.
19:06I can assure you, she certainly is, Mr. Hobday.
19:09Well, luckily, I agree most comprehensively with Miss Austin.
19:12It was not to my taste either.
19:14How are you all finding signals?
19:16Oh, I like it very much.
19:18We are of the exact same opinion once again, it was seen.
19:20We must pick up the pace, girls.
19:22Our son Frank isn't drowning tonight.
19:24Did you know our brother has fought Napoleon single-handed, Mr. Hobday?
19:30I rather approve of your Mr. Hobday.
19:33He's not my Mr. Hobday.
19:36In fact, I thought you made rather the impression.
19:39Was I delightful?
19:40No, you were frightful.
19:41As frightful as I was to Mr. Blackhall?
19:45Nobody in the history of social intercourse has been as frightful to anyone as you were to Mr. Blackhall.
19:49So would you estimate this morning it's a half a Blackhall?
19:54I think I'd say more of a third.
19:58And he's certainly not my Mr. Hobday.
20:00Really?
20:00Then you have not noticed the way he looks at you?
20:03Nonsense.
20:04He ignores me at every opportunity.
20:06He pays everyone else far more attention.
20:08Papa, Anna, you...
20:09Precisely.
20:10And that is the evidence.
20:12I'm something of an expert in romantic matters.
20:15And I'm quite sure I saw sparks flying between you.
20:18I think one even caught in my bonnet.
20:20Because of your charms, I might have gone up in smoke.
20:25Cass, how can you be so blind?
20:27You have caught him in your powers.
20:30I have no powers.
20:31Oh, you do, my darling.
20:32And that you are unaware of them makes you more powerful still.
20:37Mr. Hobday has fallen for you, Cassie.
20:41Well, then I'm sorry for him.
20:44I've lost the only man I could ever marry.
20:46I have no possible interest in Mr. Hobday.
20:53Where are you going?
20:54To write.
21:10Jane, what more have you said?
21:14Eliza, our Sidmouth adventure is proving far more entertaining than even I could have imagined.
21:20A secret plan is afoot, and I am to be my young niece Anna's willing accomplice.
21:26The beneficiary of our surprise is to be Cassie, no less.
21:41Please say you like it.
21:54Thank you for being here.
21:56Thank you for being here.
22:00Thank you, Francesca.
22:14Do you see your power now?
22:35What is it?
22:36Just waiting for someone
22:49Miss Austin
22:51What's the whole day?
22:55Yellow suits you
23:16I may have neglected to say
23:18How sorry I was to hear of your tragic loss
23:23That is most kind, Mr. Huffday
23:27I confess I
23:29I was overwhelmed by grief at first
23:33And now?
23:36Now
23:39It is not so sharp
23:49My dear Eliza
23:50This comes to you with great urgency
23:53I must share it with you
23:55Though it is not my secret to tell
23:58My sister
23:59My beloved sister Cassie
24:03Is in love
24:19Cassandra
24:20What are you doing down here at this hour?
24:24I heard a noise
24:25It frightened the life out of me
24:27I don't know how I got here
24:29Are you ill?
24:30You must be ill
24:31Now don't come here
24:32If you're ill
24:33Please
24:34Please just leave me here
24:36If you're sure
24:43You must also
24:43If you're ill
24:47You're ill
24:50I don't know
24:51When you're ill
24:53You're ill
25:00das
25:01I am
25:01Maybe
25:04I can go
25:05Give me
25:05You can go
25:05I can go
25:06It only
25:07I can fix
25:07You can ever
25:17Miss Austen?
25:19Miss Austen?
25:20God save us, don't tell us she's gone and died on Miss...
25:23Cassandra?
25:24Isabella?
25:25Cassandra, it's me.
25:26Isabella?
25:26Is she alright?
25:27She's burning up.
25:29Is she saying for Mr. Litterdale?
25:32Miss Isabella?
25:33Mr. Litterdale is too busy.
25:35We'll nurse her ourselves.
25:37Miss Isabella, I know what I am doing, Dinah.
25:45A beautiful day, is it not?
25:46Quite beautiful.
25:48Then I wonder if you might consider walking out for me.
25:57Eliza's letters.
25:58Am I to understand you already have knowledge of their whereabouts?
26:02Why ever would you think that?
26:03If I were the future Mrs. Harris Bigwither, I should make room for as many sisters as possible.
26:09Are you an admirer of the seaside, Mr. Bigwither?
26:13Do you truly believe that you could one day love this man?
26:15When manna falls from heaven, it would be foolish to squander it.
26:20I am to be in print.
26:22I am to be a published authoret.
26:24Go for it now!
26:24Why do you feel so bad?
26:24Go for it now!
