00:00Too much wind to make the high part of the new cob pleasant for the ladies,
00:04and they agreed to get down the steps to the lower.
00:07All were content to pass quietly and carefully down the steep flight,
00:12excepting Louisa.
00:13She must be jumped down them by Captain Wentworth.
00:17The hardness of the pavement on her feet made him less willing upon the present occasion.
00:21He did it, however.
00:23She was safely down and instantly ran up the steps to be jumped down again.
00:30He advised her against it.
00:32Thought the jar too great, but he reasoned and talked in vain.
00:36She smiled and said,
00:37I am determined I will.
00:40I am determined I will.
00:42He put out his hands.
00:45Louisa was too precipitate.
00:48She fell on the pavement on the lower cob and was taken up, lifeless.
00:54You have killed her!
00:56There was no wound, no blood.
01:00No visible bruise.
01:02But her eyes were closed and she breathed not.
01:06Her face was like death.
01:08The horror of the moment to all who stood around.
01:12She is dead!
01:14She is dead!
01:15Screamed Mary.
01:16How could Jane have done this to her, to us?
01:19Read on, I beg you.
01:20Is there no one to help me?
01:22Were the first words which burst from Captain Wentworth in a tone of despair,
01:28as if all his strength were gone.
01:30Would somebody help him, please?
01:32Rub her hands.
01:34Rub her temples, cried Anne.
01:36Here, here are the salts.
01:38Take them.
01:38Yes, the salts.
01:40Take the salts.
01:41Take the salts.
01:41Take the salts.
01:43Captain Benwick obeyed.
01:45Captain Wentworth, staggering against the wall for his support,
01:49exclaimed in the bitterest agony,
01:51Oh, God.
01:53Her father and her mother.
01:55A surgeon, said Anne.
01:57A surgeon this instant.
02:00A surgeon.
02:01A surgeon.
02:03A surgeon.
02:04A surgeon.
02:05A surgeon.
02:08A surgeon.
02:18A surgeon.
02:22A surgeon.
02:24A surgeon.
02:25A surgeon.
02:25A surgeon.
02:26A surgeon.

04:56she's back with us
05:01it came then
05:02Oh, my God.
06:00Oh, my God.
06:30Oh, my God.
06:33Dinah, try not to move.
06:36I hate ours, ma'am.
06:38You had a nasty fall.
06:40You were very lucky.
06:42I've made you some tea.
06:45The good china, ma'am.
06:47Yes, I found it hidden away.
06:50It seems you hadn't got around to packing it yet.
06:53Miss Isabella loves it, so...
06:57She couldn't wish for a better friend.
06:59You mean me, ma'am?
07:01Because of you and your escapade,
07:04Miss Isabella and Mr Lidderdale have been reconciled.
07:10I'm sure I don't know what you're talking about.
07:13It's a peculiar coincidence,
07:15but there's a very similar event in my sister's novel, Persuasion.
07:19In fact, I was reading that very passage just before you fell.
07:23Oh, that is a peculiar thing, ma'am.
07:26Hmm.
07:30I applaud your bravery and your presence of mind.
07:35I, on the other hand, have been extremely slow
07:38to understand precisely what was going on right under my nose.
07:42He got there in the end, though.
07:44Hmm.
07:45They love each other, ma'am.
07:48It's always been that way.
07:50But the master would have none of it
07:52on account of Mr Lidderdale's background, see?
07:56Did Isabella's mother know anything of this?
07:59Well, if she did, she never let on.
08:02She wasn't one for meddling,
08:04even when meddling was what was needed.
08:06No.
08:07Not like us.
08:08The difference between you and me, ma'am,
08:11is that my meddling's done to the good.
08:23I cannot write.
08:24I am nothing but a drag on the household.
08:27This should come with me.
08:29I cannot shake this feeling of fear.
08:31It is as if a monster is stalking our threshold,
08:33and I am desperate to keep it at bay.
08:35With me?
08:37I enjoy this present weather from top to toe,
08:40from right to left,
08:42longitudinally, perpendicularly, diagonally.
08:44Good one for Mary.
08:46Walter Scott has no business to write novels,
08:48especially good ones.
08:50He has fame and profit enough as a poet,
08:52and should not be taking...
08:53That can stay here.
08:55Were there a way out of my gloom,
08:57I should find it?
08:58All these potions and recipes...
08:59Coming with me.
09:01I have sold a novel, Eliza.
09:03Mary.
09:04This time, I am certain to be published.
09:27For now, the world is to know me only as a lady.
09:30It is well that I have always enjoyed being a woman of mystery.
09:34Dearest Eliza,
09:35I am quite delighted with your letter.
09:37Your liking Darcy and Elizabeth is enough to satisfy my vanity.
09:42You will be glad to hear that the first edition of Mansfield Park is all sold.
09:47I shall not plague you with any sordid meticulars about money.
09:51Oh, Eliza.
09:52I am most gratified you enjoyed Emma,
09:55though her passage into the world has not gone as smoothly as I had hoped.
10:02The quarterly review fills the novel Lax Incident.
10:10What are they?
10:11I hurry to finish it on account of the pain I am suffering in my back.
10:16Cassie says it is the strain of sitting over my work for so many hours every day,
10:21but I am not sure it isn't something more.
10:25I confess I would swap all hope of wealth and success to feel well again.
10:33We have seen an army of doctors,
10:35but none of them can name what ails me.
10:39All right.
10:42It's fine.
10:46Cassie will not be deterred, however.
10:53She is taking me to Cheltenham,
10:55where she is convinced the waters will bring a miracle.
11:05I try very hard to convince myself my symptoms are lifting,
11:11but they are not, Eliza.
11:14This poor, stubborn body of mine seems quite set on decline.
11:21But we will soon be back with you in Kintbury,
11:25and that alone raises my spirits.
11:34How is she, do you think, Eliza?
11:38She's very thin.
11:41I'm a little alarmed by these strange black patches on her arms.
11:48I'm sure they're nothing, Cassie.
11:50There's a doctor in Winchester who thinks he might be able to help.
11:54I'm taking her there next.
11:57Liza?
11:58Cass, I...
11:59Liza, my dear.
12:00I hope you've remembered I'm out this evening.
12:02The Tory dinner in Newbury.
12:06How is your sister doing today?
12:08We were just saying she...
12:11She seems better.
12:12Really?
12:13I detect a great sadness.
12:16It's a pity those books of hers have come to nothing.
12:19Jane has had four novels published,
12:21and all to great acclaim.
12:23No profit in them, though.
12:24So Mary tells us.
12:26We did try the new one, um, some lady's name.
12:28What was it again, um...
12:29Emma.
12:30Yes.
12:31Afraid we read the first chapter, then skip to the end.
12:33I did not.
12:34I read to the end.
12:37And I enjoyed it very much.
12:41Perhaps you might find Jane's new novel, Persuasion, more to your liking, Fuller.
12:46It is to be her best one yet.
12:49Hmm.
13:09Winchester seems quite a pretty town.
13:16You must try to rest, my darling.
13:19I have the doctor's address.
13:21I will hurry there now.
13:22No, I do not want him.
13:24He promises an improvement.
13:26We must try everything.
13:27No more, Cass.
13:27I'm tired.
13:30I want to go home to Chawton.
13:35But it's too late, is it not?
13:46Cass.
13:49What is it?
13:50What do you need?
13:51You're exhausted.
13:53I'm fine.
13:58Do not be upset, but Mary Austen is on her way.
14:05So be it.
14:21I came as soon as I could.
14:23I'll sit with her now.
14:25You must rest.
14:28Go.
14:28If anything changes, I will call for you.
14:31At once.
14:34I will not go without you.
14:43Mary, come sit with me.
14:46Yes.
15:03Oh, we can never beat you at cards.
15:05You were always too clever.
15:06Too clever by half.
15:08And then you would play the preludes for us.
15:11You were gifted in so many ways, Jane.
15:15But then my beloved James would delight us with his poetry.
15:21Yes, he would.
15:25Jane.
15:30Such happy times.
15:49Has she gone?
15:52She has.
15:57It was touching to see you both so cheerful together.
16:01Disaster often brings out the best in Mary.
16:04It's success that disturbs her good nature.
16:09She pities me now even more than she wants it.
16:14And there I was, the happiest woman in England.
16:18But she could only see tragedy.
16:23Do you think others saw me the way Mary did?
16:27As a joyless creature?
16:34It doesn't matter what other people think.
16:36It matters.
16:39It matters to me.
16:42I do not want the world to know of my sadness.
16:46Only of the joy in my stories.
16:56Tell me what it is that you want.
17:04It will not be long now, my darling.
17:13Till you will be at peace.
17:32Jane Austen.
17:37You have been the best.
17:43Most loyal, most loving, most gifted sister.
17:57And I, Cassie Austen.
18:01I've been the most blessed sister to have loved you.
18:23One, two, one, two, three, four, um...
18:32I'm the most blessed teacher to have loved you.
18:33Jonathan would stay the Ùˆits as 2003-2006-2007-2006-2004.
18:41I don't know.
19:17I don't know.
19:48I trust I'm not intruding, my dear.
19:52I am delighted to see you so overjoyed.
19:56I assume Mr. Litterdale has proposed.
20:00Yes, yes, he has.
20:03And I have accepted gratefully and with my whole heart.
20:07Thank you for insisting I fetch him.
20:10Thank Diana for giving me calls.
20:13And dear Jane for the inspiration.
20:21I think we have sufficient calls for celebration, do we not?
20:27Besides, I'm sure the new vicar and his wife will have no use for these.
20:39I shall miss you both.
20:41But I will also be pleased to sleep in my own bed.
20:45Smith, where are you?
20:47Ma'am, I found this lying around.
20:51I wouldn't want it falling into the wrong hands, so you might as well have it.
20:54I can't read anyway, so it's no use to me.
20:59Dear Diana.
21:01Well, here's the thing.
21:03Once again you intend to travel without the courtesy of informing your only remaining sister.
21:08What on earth?
21:09Get up at once.
21:12Isabella, what a good thing I came back.
21:13We'd never be ready by tomorrow.
21:15A blessing indeed, Aunt Mary.
21:18Aunt Mary, on the matter of Eliza's letters, perhaps you could look in the settle in her room.
21:25It was the only place I didn't manage to search.
21:29If I recall, Eliza tied Jane's letters in a blue ribbon.
21:36Very well, I shall do that now.
21:39I'd come along, Isabella.
21:41That unspeakable man Dundas will be upon us before we know it.
21:45And Cassandra will forgive us for leaving her to wait for her coach alone.
21:50You are forgiven.
21:55Goodbye, my dear.
21:57Staying here once more has meant a great deal.
22:03Be sure to take two of the very best sets of china to your new room.
22:07No one will ever notice.
22:10There, there, there, there.
22:11Let's not fuss too much.
22:13No, the best farewells are the short ones.
22:16Dinah.
22:19Mum, look after yourself and don't be going out in the rain.
22:28So, this will be the last time you and I meet in this house.
22:32We've had so much history here and now it will be lost.
22:36Our history will be safe in our memories.
22:40All we can do is pass them on to those who come after us.
22:44With as much honesty as we can muster.
22:48As if anyone is interested in us women.
22:54I will then.
22:59Sister.
23:02Sister.
23:11Sister.
23:36Oh, come on.
23:55This will be my last letter.
23:57I do not have the strength to write to you again, Eliza.
24:01But I thank you now for your friendship.
24:03Wish you long health and happiness.
24:08I beg you to look after my dear darling Cass.
24:15An attack of my sad complaint has seized me again.
24:19And reduced me so low that I now feel recovery unlikely.
24:25You must not pity me though.
24:27For if I am to die now, I am convinced I will die as the luckiest of women.
24:35Words fail me when I think of the kindness of my family during this illness.
24:40As for Cassandra, she has been the most tender, watchful sister throughout my life.
24:49She has protected me always, and I know she will protect my legacy after I have gone.
24:55As to what I owe her, I can only cry over and hope her life will be blessed more, and
25:03yet more.
25:06These next years will be hard.
25:09We have never born a separation easily.
25:13But as I approach this final departure,
25:17I am selfishly grateful that it was never my fate to be the one who survived.
25:23For how could I?
25:27What sort of life would it have been if I did not have her by my side?
25:35With my fondest affection,
25:40Jane.
25:40God.
25:42Love.
