Short filmTranscript
00:01Miss Isabella is to vacate the vicarage.
00:03I am resolved to ensure she is settled with her sisters.
00:07Beth and Mr. Lidderdale.
00:09Cassandra, there's illness here.
00:10Miss Austen, you cannot be in here.
00:12They did seem very familiar with one another.
00:14Did you find any letters from Jane?
00:17Not a single one.
00:20The Austens of Hampshire are embarking on the first of their great holiday schemes.
00:25Mr. Henry Hobday, it's my pleasure, Martha.
00:27I'm quite sure I saw sparks flying between you.
00:32You have caught him in your powers.
00:45Is she in for Mr. Lidderdale?
00:46Mr. Lidderdale is too busy.
00:48We'll nurse her ourselves.
01:02No.
01:03No.
01:04No.
01:04All is well.
01:05You must rest now.
01:06No.
01:06The letters.
01:08Isabella, you must...
01:09There are no letters, my dear.
01:11Rest now.
01:14No.
01:15No.
01:15Not you.
01:16Cassandra, this is dying, huh?
01:17Cooling your brow.
01:19No.
01:19Not you.
01:20Isabella, you must die.
01:21She's delirious.
01:22She doesn't know what she's saying.
01:25No.
01:26Where are they?
01:27You must...
01:27You must keep them hidden.
01:28There are no letters, my dear.
01:30Rest now.
01:32Jane.
01:33I promised Jane.
01:35You must...
01:36You must hide the letters.
01:37You must be still.
01:40Keep them hidden.
01:40Keep them hidden.
01:50No, Cassandra.
01:52No, I've got...
01:52Give her.
01:53No.
01:53No.
01:53She's getting worse.
01:54Mrs. Isabella, she's gonna peg it on us.
01:56God forbid.
01:58I cannot infect Mr. Lidderdale now.
02:00No.
02:01Her fever will break soon.
02:04Besides, I'm sure Mr. Lidderdale and my sister are far too busy to be disturbed.
02:08Go up to the big house and beg for ice.
02:10You'll have plenty this time of year.
02:12No.
02:13No.
02:19Dinah?
02:20Is something the matter?
02:25Look, Cassandra.
02:27No.
02:28She said you meant...
02:29No.
02:30No.
02:30No.
02:31We must help.
02:33We are helping you.
02:34We must help.
02:34We are helping you.
02:36It's alright.
02:37It's alright.
02:38It's cold.
02:40It's cold.
02:41It's cold.
02:42Help me.
02:43We are helping you.
02:45No.
02:45I know she's out and I am sorry to say it but she's brought it on herself.
02:49Going to see Miss Beth and stir in the pot.
02:52No.
02:52It's enough, Dinah.
02:53No.
02:53It's okay no more.
02:54They're loading them now.
02:55No.
02:58No.
02:59No.
02:59I know he's here.
03:01No.
03:01Just now I know he's here.
03:07We are helping you.
03:11Yeah.
03:12Yeah.
03:20We are helping him.
03:21Sorry for that.
03:23Let's go down here.
03:33Your niece seems to have found even more marvellous shells for her collection, Miss Austen.
03:38So it appears, Mr. Huptey, I'm bewildered as to how we'll transport these multitudes back home.
03:49Forgive me if this seems intrusive. She is a charming child.
03:57But I do detect an air of melancholy. Unusual. It's been one so young.
04:03She lost her mother when she was very small. She is, I fear, still scarred by it.
04:10Yes, the loss of a parent is a heavy burden to bear, especially at such a young age.
04:17Your mother told us of your own bereavement, of which I'm very sorry.
04:21Yes, my father was an excellent man.
04:26My mother found it exceedingly hard to stay in the family home afterwards.
04:31Hence our peripatetic existence.
04:35But I do hope to return there soon.
04:38Where is home?
04:40Derbyshire.
04:43The thought of Derbyshire amuses you?
04:45No, not at all.
04:47My sister declares it to be a place of some perfection.
04:51Alongside Hampshire, of course, though, never Shropshire.
05:00I'm enjoying your Susan.
05:02I must say, dear sister, your Mr. Thorpe is the devil of a bounder.
05:07If he is an Oxford man, I'm grateful not to have gone there.
05:10I dare him to come onto my ship.
05:12We'd run him up the Ardham at once.
05:14He'd never be on your ship.
05:15Mr. John Thorpe has neither the heart nor the head for it.
05:18You sailors are the best of men.
05:20Yet not once has any of your heroines ever been blessed with a dashing sailor brother.
05:25Oh, Frank.
05:26If the heroine was fortunate enough to have a dashing sailor brother,
05:29she's spoiled for any hero I could create.
05:32No man could match him.
05:34So this is why my sisters are still unmarried.
05:37No man can match me.
05:39I fear Cassie is about to betray you, brother, with her new suitor.
05:44Suitor?
05:45A proto?
05:46Jane.
05:48Sorry, I appear to have spoken in error.
05:50Cassie has no suitor, especially no suitor by the name of Henry...
05:54or Hobday.
05:56Or Henry Hobday.
05:57Papa, please.
05:58Or any suitor with those names who just so happens to be the heir to an estate in Derbyshire.
06:04An estate?
06:05In Derbyshire?
06:06Papa, I beg you.
06:07Come now, you're making your sister uncomfortable.
06:10Besides, I have seen no evidence of any such romance.
06:14That's because it's a deep secret and only to the whole of cinema.
06:18Enough!
06:20Jane's love of fiction appears to have spread from the page into our lives.
06:25I'm sad to report she now routinely spouts nonsense.
06:28We can no longer believe a single word that comes out of her mouth.
06:39Cass?
06:41Did you really mind Mr Hobday accompanying us today?
06:45Very much.
06:46It was all Frank's doing.
06:49Of which you played no part.
06:52None whatsoever.
06:53Very well, I admit it.
06:56But you cannot deny Mr Hobday is deeply enamoured of you.
07:00As he should be, it proves he is a man of excellent taste.
07:04In fact, he appears to be the model of perfection which, if I may say, is most infuriating.
07:09For you know, as a woman of many faults, I abhor faultlessness in others.
07:14You are faultless in my eyes.
07:17You just bear me better than anyone else.
07:19It is you who is faultless.
07:22Which is why you deserve something better than this wretched future of ours.
07:26Jane, why must you always make such a drama out of nothing?
07:30Our future is not wretched.
07:32We still have our parents, we have good brothers who will never neglect us.
07:37And most importantly of all, we have each other.
07:41Unless you find someone good enough and, well, even then I shall not starve.
07:46Is that your ambition?
07:49Not to starve.
07:51Here lies Cassandra Austin.
07:53She did not starve.
07:56I have no crystal ball cast, but one thing I know for certain.
08:00We will be poor.
08:02And we will become objects of pity.
08:05Or worse still, derision.
08:08This must be my fate.
08:10It does not have to be yours.
08:13I love you above all, but we do not have to live as one.
08:16We are two different women.
08:20I beg you, if you are offered any means of escape, do not refuse it.
08:34You are not dying Cassandra.
08:42I will not countenance you.
08:45I will not countenance you.
08:47I will not countenance you.
08:59Mr. Litterdale, may I help you?
09:02Forgive me for intruding Miss Fowle, but I just saw your maid and the urgency of her demeanour gave me
09:07cause for some concern.
09:08There is no need.
09:09There is no need.
09:10She was merely on an errand and I instructed her to be quick.
09:13There is nothing more to it.
09:15Then she was carrying out your instructions to the letter.
09:19I am delighted to hear it.
09:24I understand.
09:25You hope?
09:27Please.
09:28After you.
09:31It was only to inquire if there is still a deal of sickness in the village.
09:36Some.
09:37But thankfully it is on the wane now.
09:39Good.
09:41But I am sure my sister will be eager to return to her pupils.
09:46I believe Beth has been assisting you, has she not?
09:51Indeed she has.
09:53Her presence has been most beneficial.
09:57That does not surprise me.
10:00She is a woman of great competence.
10:04Indeed she is.
10:09If you will excuse me, I must.
10:11Of course, but first may I inquire after Miss Austen.
10:16I trust she has not suffered any ill effects after her visit to the village?
10:20No.
10:21None.
10:22But I will inform her of your kind concern.
10:25Good day.
10:27Good day.
10:42Captain Wentworth was more obviously struck and confused by the sight of her than she had ever observed before.
10:50For the first time since their renewed acquaintance, she felt she was betraying the least sensibility of the two.
10:56That was all right.
10:57But there is a lot of things in her family.
11:01That is so good for me.
11:01I will.
11:12You will not hear anything from you.
11:13I will not hear anything from you.
11:13I will not hear anything from you.
11:15I will not hear anything from you.
11:19I will hear anything from you.
11:21Joseph's in the name of the name of theかった school.
11:22I will not hear anything from you.
11:23I don't know.
12:00It's our day.
12:01Miss Austen.
12:02A beautiful day, is it not?
12:04Yes.
12:05Quite beautiful.
12:07Forgive me if I'm intruding.
12:11You will not forgive me.
12:13No, you are not intruding.
12:16Then I wonder if you might consider walking out with me.
12:21I'd be delighted.
12:47Perhaps we should sit for a moment.
12:49No, no, no, no.
13:07Mr. Hoverday.
13:08Please, I...
13:09I must speak where I'm unable to say a single word.
13:15Miss Austen.
13:25Cassie.
13:27May I call you that?
13:35It's true that we've only known each other for a short time.
13:39But it has been long enough to know that you are a woman of quite remarkable character.
13:47Exceptional, even.
13:55The truth is, Cassie Austen, I have loved you since the moment that our hands first touched.
14:05Of your beauty, there is no doubt.
14:10But it is your intelligence and your spirit and your grace that have done for me.
14:21I am yours, if you will have me.
14:29I am yours, if you will have me.
14:53I am.
14:53I am.
14:54I know I am not the most eloquent of men.
14:57There are things I must say to you before I leave.
15:01In case I do not return.
15:04No.
15:05You will come back, let us not disgust you.
15:08And Cassie, we must.
15:12If you cannot marry me, you must feel free to marry another.
15:20I promise you, Tom, faithfully here before God,
15:28that I will never marry any other man but you.
16:01So, did he speak?
16:06Well, what was your answer?
16:10I refused him.
16:13Refused him?
16:15My mum will hear. She cannot know if this Jane just done.
16:18Cassie, why? I do not understand you.
16:20What fault could you find with Henry Hobday?
16:22What more could you ask for?
16:23A match like this at your time of life is a story beyond fiction.
16:29Please.
16:32My dearest one, help me understand.
16:40I cannot marry him.
16:44I cannot marry anyone.
16:46Why?
16:47Because I promised Tom.
16:49Tom dared ask that of you?
16:51No.
16:52No, he begged me not to feel beholden.
16:56Then you must not feel...
16:59I cannot go back on my word, Jane.
17:12There's Austin!
17:13There's Austin!
17:15Oh, Cassandra!
17:17Oh, thank heavens!
17:19What on earth are you doing in here?
17:21Let's get this on, Mum, shall we?
17:25You're shivering.
17:26No.
17:27No, I am perfectly fine.
17:30Look at me.
17:31Back in the land of the living.
17:34I owe you my life.
17:37Nonsense.
17:38You owe it only to yourself.
17:42It would take more than a fever to undo Cassandra was.
17:47Oh, Isabella.
17:49You were born to tend to the sick.
17:55I hoped once that I might be able to do so.
17:59That time has passed.
18:01Come.
18:12You owe her to go.
18:14She is still in heaven.
18:15You're quite sure it's safe, is it?
18:16Quite sure, Aunt Mary.
18:18She is much in peace now.
18:25Oh.
18:27My dear.
18:30I've been worried sick.
18:32You have...
18:33You have no idea the...
18:35The torment that you have put me through.
18:41Hmm.
18:44You must feel quite awful.
18:46Not so.
18:47I am...
18:48I am certainly on the mend.
18:50No, I mean for causing so much inconvenience.
18:53At a time when the house was already at sixes and sevens.
18:57It is a maxim of mine that one should never fall ill while visiting.
19:00And I am proud to say that I have never once had the misfortune to break it.
19:05Of course there was that one time in London when I was brought down by the face ache.
19:12Well, I shall take my leave of you.
19:15You seem quite worn out from resting.
19:20And Mrs Bunbury and I appear to have reconciled so she is expecting me.
19:26Oh, and one more thing.
19:29Eliza's letters.
19:31Am I to understand you already have knowledge of their whereabouts?
19:35Me?
19:37No.
19:38Why ever would you think that?
19:41Something you said when you were delirious.
19:46It seemed you already had some in your possession.
19:50Certainly not.
19:51And if I had I would have told you.
19:54As you say, I...
19:56I was delirious.
19:58It was...
19:59Oh, my goodness.
20:00Oh, my goodness.
20:03It was ridiculous.
20:04Oh, my goodness.
20:05Oh, my goodness.
20:28It was difficult because it was difficult for us to have to disappoint.
20:33my dear eliza you beg to be informed of the next stage in the saga so it is with a
20:39heavy heart
20:39i comply once again we are left to be disappointed mr hobday himself was not the agent of this
20:47indeed the reverse he proved himself as good a man as those who love cassie could ever hope for
20:55their attraction was mutual they were in love eliza i'm sure of it yet cassie refused him the
21:04sheer madness of it drives me to distraction i am no advocate of marriage for the sake of it
21:10but i'm all for a good match and this could have been a splendid one cassie had the offer of
21:16a
21:16comfortable future wealth stability love and respect but she chose insecurity
21:24i struggle to comprehend it it is beyond me
21:32how could you think this how could you write it
21:37bereaved fiancee dutiful daughter caring aunt these are the roles cassie embraces esteemed object of a
21:46worthy gentleman's heart no that she would rather reject if my sister has one fault it is a wanton
21:54appetite to deny herself the pleasures of life did you not know could you not tell that i did it
22:04i did
22:05it for you too

24:19his sisters lurking about getting crosser and crosser catherine you and alathea are the least cross women
24:24i know but who could be cross here even i seem to have lost the night if i were the
24:32future mrs harris

25:36our parents are still quite well thank you in spite of the sea our mother complains constantly of several
25:43ailments though suffers from none thankfully our father is the patience of a saint i have often
25:51thought the rector of a small country parish to be an enviable existence without the onerous
25:57responsibilities of having too much of one's own land but imagine having no land to call your own
26:02sir what if you lived in a city like bath or london full of smoke and noise and people
26:09i wager you'd be dreaming of such onerous responsibilities then jane i hardly agree madam
26:15many a time my dear late lady wife would drag me to london but i only ever wanted to be
26:21at home
26:22that is exactly how i feel about steventon i wish to be nowhere else
26:31yes miss austin
26:37i am a great admirer of the seaside
26:48is this place not heaven it is and you may have had a little too much wine you complain
26:53me when the wine is so good besides i may require dutch courage before the night is up
27:02of the seaside
27:02what a fine instrument it's wasted on catherine and me
27:08play for us jane i fear i'm no longer the pianist i once was you may regret asking me
27:14nonsense play the prelude
27:41i did warn you miss jane do excuse me but i come bearing a message if you'd be so kind
27:50my son
27:50is requesting you join him back in the dining room

28:10father sisters miss austin
28:16miss austin has consented to be my wife
28:35what have you done should you not be congratulating me on the splendor of my match i will bless you
28:41joyfully once you have told me that you are in love with mr bigwether and that you admire him
28:45above and beyond all others i cannot do that nor could he with me but when manna falls from heaven
28:50it would be foolish to squander it oh that goes against all that you believe in it it makes a
28:55mockery of everything you've ever said or or written about love love jane love it does not i've always
29:01maintained that love is impossible without money so there must be some hope that with it love can grow
29:06do you truly believe that you could one day love this man i cannot predict though i admit it unlikely
29:13but someone has to do something to secure our futures he's from a good family alethia and catherine
29:19can remain here and we will be safe and together and you my best girl are free to marry your
29:24beloved hobday
29:27i can tell you now that whatever you do you will not make me marry hobday i have refused him
29:32it is over
29:44will i be happy here do you think
29:48well you love many down
29:53but you are to be its mistress now with all the duty that requires
30:01i'm sure catherine and alethia will help to shoulder that burden but you will be his wife jane
30:09and there will be children of course there are a lot of rooms to fill
30:18i shall be in pig for the rest of my years you love children you have a gift with them
30:22with other
30:23peoples i'll have no time to myself for thinking for writing i shall not write more than a letter again
30:32i shall have a husband a master an overbearing master harris bigweather is hardly overbearing more
30:40like underbearing i cannot do it my darling you have done it it is already done no it was a
30:46mistake
30:46the most hideous error i do not know what i was thinking i shall tell them in the morning jane
30:55you're quite sure you cannot go through with it we'll leave tomorrow to quote a philosopher of my
31:00acquaintance i shall not starve
31:35you
31:42you
31:44you
31:44you
31:44you
31:47you
31:48you
32:05I'm always Walter Scott.
32:09I should be lucky not to relapse here.
32:45Why are they here again?
32:47I do not know.
32:50And where is Anna?
32:52With some sharp, featured governess, no doubt, it is most unsatisfactory.
32:58I should run straight there and insist they listen to my latest outpourings, for as soon
33:02as I begin, Mary Austin will check the weather and announce they must go.
33:06I must confess, I do have some sympathy with her.
33:10Cassie?
33:10But you do not appreciate how clever you are with words and how easily you can make people
33:14laugh.
33:15It is a gift, Jane.
33:16She's been visiting us for years.
33:18I've never noticed her discomfort.
33:19Perhaps she feels the need to shine in front of her husband.
33:24Marriage, always an excuse for failures of character.
33:27It is the root cause of poor behaviour.
33:30Though you would have been the exception to that.
33:32My own theory is the thrill of being.
33:34Mrs. James Austin has quite gone to Mary Austin's head.
33:38She has become a little bumptious with it.
33:41Happiness in a married woman is irksome to witness, and yet the single lady spreads universal blood.
33:49See?
33:50Even father has need of some respite.
33:55Come.
33:56We must greet them.
34:13The fact is, father, as I enter my thirty-sixth year, I am the king to assume greater responsibility and
34:22perform to the full.
34:23My role as man of the church, I hope you will agree that my talents are more than equal to
34:30the task ahead.
34:31Oh, my dear boy, I have no need to assure you of that.
34:34You will make an exemplary rector to the parish.
34:37Exemplary?
34:40The house Austin, remember the house?
34:42Ah, yes.
34:43The house.
34:45I, that is, we, with our growing family.
34:50We do have a child now.
34:52You have two children.
34:55Let us not forget Anna.
34:57No, no, I meant to say as we now have a son.
35:01It occurs to us, to me, rather, that the house may be growing a little too much for you both.
35:12A less tiring, slightly smaller accommodation might be more appropriate to the diminishing needs of your household.
35:23Now that you only have my sisters.
35:33That you will take over the parish has long been the intention.
35:38The question of timing is another matter.
35:44Perhaps I have caused some confusion by living too long and too well.
35:49Oh, George, my dear, please.
35:52Thank you for raising this, James.
35:56I have no desire to stand in your path.
36:00That cannot be God's will.
36:02But I must discuss this in private with your mother,
36:06that I may be led swiftly to a judgment that may benefit us all.
36:14Tea, Mrs. Austin?
36:17Yes, of course.
36:20Now, now, now.
37:05It is done.
37:21It is perfect.
37:23You must send it to the publisher at once.
37:31It is ready, Jane.
37:56And now, we wait.
38:08You must send it to the publisher at once.
38:41No, that will travel with me.
38:43It is my right, sir.
38:43Leave that.
38:44You cannot take that.
38:45I'm sorry.
38:50We will survive this, Jane.
38:54I promise.
39:02I think there's one more box.
39:03It is my right.
39:06I promise.
39:07I promise.
39:34There, there, my dear.
39:36Think of this as a new chapter.
39:40As if Jane had written it.
39:43Her stories always end well, don't they?
39:47Walk on!
39:50Say goodbye, Anna.
39:53Wave.
40:24I do not understand why Isabella keeps that girl, Dinah.
40:27She is quite simply the worst servant I've ever had the misfortune to encounter.
40:32Ring it again, Anna.
40:33This time with more force, if you please.
40:37Longer, longer, longer.
40:40PHONE RINGS
40:47My dear, they've even got you answering the door now.
40:49Where was that infernal girl?
40:51Anna, what a surprise.
40:53A pleasant one, I hope.
40:56Most pleasant.
40:58Should I just stand here then, waiting for you to greet me, Sandra?
41:02Forgive me, Mary, I have not seen Anna for some time.
41:06I am quite overwhelmed.
41:09Yes, I suppose we can be grateful that her last romantic interlude came to nothing.
41:13And we are once again blessed with her presence.
41:21Isabella will be equally as delighted to see you.
41:23And I, uh, I trust she's looked after you well, Aunt Cass.
41:26She has been most attentive.
41:29Anna?
41:30I'll get started upstairs.
41:32Can I leave you with the drawing room?
41:34Yes, Mama?
41:36We're here to work.
41:37So I'm told.
41:50Letters, letters.
41:54They all come up.
42:01Zoom again.
42:23Ah, Anna, you have made splendid progress today.
42:28The new vicar and his wife will be most impressed by your labors.
42:31Your labors, you mean? Isabella says you've been a godsend.
42:33Apart from when she was at death's door.
42:36And how is your leg today, my dear?
42:39It does seem to give you a great deal of inconvenience.
42:42I mean, it's strange. I mean, I've always been unusually lucky in the leg department, unlike Mrs Bunbury.
42:48And to think I woke this morning in a pleasant anticipation of a hard day's labor.
42:59However, must we endure another reading, Isabella?
43:04What would you rather do, Aunt Mary?
43:06Well, perhaps we could converse. It is not often we're all together.
43:10May never happen again once Cassandra returns to Chawton.
43:14Very well.
43:16On what subject would you like to converse?
43:32Cassandra's patchwork is most impressive, do you not think?
43:35Yes, you're so clever, Aunt Cass.
43:38Yes, all the Austens are clever. My husband had a formidable intellect.
43:42My son, James Edward, has inherited it.
43:45Yes, and let us not forget Jane.
43:47For what is cleverness when set beside brilliance?
43:51We are all in the shade of those who shine brightest.
43:57My father often said, genius comes with a difficult temperament.
44:03Was this true of your Jane?
44:05Jane was a perfectionist.
44:09She was so very demanding of herself and her work.
44:15But to others, she was not always kind.
44:19And...
44:25At least not to me.
44:27Well, she was the very best of aunts to me.
44:31I lived for my visits to Aunt Jane.
44:33I would show her my own stories.
44:35And she would take them so seriously.
44:37As if I were a proper writer.
44:39She was the very opposite of difficult.
44:43Was she not, Aunt Cass?
44:46She was indeed.
44:51If I recall, she was not so cheerful in the years after you left Steventon.
45:04We have arrived in Bath, Eliza.
45:08Mary Austen's keen delight to get her feet through the door,
45:11propel ours out of it,
45:13and rob us of all our worldly possessions,
45:15was quite the sight to behold.
45:32Yes, sir...
45:34Yes, sir...
45:42Well, next time, Miss Christine comes.
45:45Yeah.
45:50Well, I think these rooms will do us quite splendidly.
45:56Yes, husband. I believe they shall.
46:05It is of some comfort that leaving our home has not caused our beloved Cassie any particular distress.
46:13Place no longer matters to Cassie, not as it does to me.
46:19Jane, my darling, please. You cannot lie here like this all day every day. You must try to bear it.
46:36Cassie's determination that I should enjoy the delights of the metropolis is admirable, and the famous bath stone does its
46:45best to glow.
46:47But I fear I cannot be much company.
46:52Cassie tells me I must give it time.
46:55And I will.
46:57Not least because I have no choice in the matter.
47:02You must remember, my dear Mary, that we all suffered a great deal after we left Steventon.
47:08Not just Jane.
47:10That is why it is so imperative that Isabella finds one place that she can call home.
47:30Miss Austen.
47:35Jane!
47:40Jane!
47:41Mr. Crosby of London, who is the best of men, even though we have never met him, promises publication of
47:47your novel, Susan, with immediate effect for the princely sum of ten pounds.
47:51Ten pounds!
47:52I am to be in print.
47:53I am to be a published authoress.
47:55And we are the proudest Austen to ever live.
47:58I shall make a start on a new novel at once. I am determined I will.
48:04I am to be published.
48:07Let us thank the good Lord.
48:10Oh, my...
48:11Papa.
48:12Papa.
48:14Papa.
48:15Oh, my dearest daughter.
48:18Your sister.
48:20She is...
48:22You must take the greatest care of her.
48:25George.
48:27I will, Papa, I will.
48:29George.
48:45George.
48:46Oh, my God.
49:28Can I have some numbers written down here, please?
49:33This is excellent.
49:36Beth, my dear.
49:38Miss Austen, I'm delighted to see you've recovered from your cold.
49:42Children, we have a visitor.
49:44Now, we must remember our manners.
49:45What do we say when people are kind enough to call on us?
49:48Good day to you.
49:51And to you.
49:53Carry on.
49:55So, this is where you spend your time?
49:58Yes.
49:59I'm hardly ever at home.
50:00My days are so busy here.
50:02My chargers arrive from five in the morning.
50:05Their mothers work at the mill and do such long days.
50:07By the time they've all left,
50:09I've no energy to do more than crawl through there to bed.
50:12Oh, so you often just sleep here?
50:15I do.
50:16Oh, shh, shh, shh.
50:19Beth, as you well know,
50:21the date of Isabella's departure from the vicarage is almost upon her.
50:25So I am here once more to ask for your assistance regarding her future.
50:30Did Isabella ask you to come?
50:32Um, no.
50:33No, she did not.
50:34But I cannot stand by and watch while she suffers the insecurity of her current position.
50:40I do not wish to appear rude, Cassandra, but why should it concern you?
50:49Because, since I have been here, I have become exceedingly fond of her.
50:54And I am mindful of the toll the same upheaval had on my dear sister
51:00when we had to leave our own beloved home.
51:05And I promised your dying father that I would ensure she came to live with either you or Mary Jane.
51:10My father, even from the grave.
51:16Poor Isabella, I...
51:18I fear she's never to be able to make her own decisions about her future as I have done.
51:25Beth, I am aware your future is settled and I am delighted it is so.
51:32However, I am also hopeful that if you and Mr. Lidderdale do decide to marry,
51:38that he might be generous enough to allow her to live with you.
51:41Married?
51:43Myself and Mr. Lidderdale?
51:46Yes.
51:48Wherever did you get such a ridiculous notion?
51:51I saw you together.
51:53And so you concocted a story for yourself?
51:58Oh, Cassandra, you have the wrong sister.
52:09We did have feelings for one another once.
52:12I have refused him.
52:14He will not ask again.
52:15I do not think it was a dalliance.
52:18I believe it to have been love.
52:19Do not be ridiculous.
52:23When my mother informed me that you were a resident here,
52:26I had a pressing need to see you again.
52:29She fell on the pavement on the lower cob
52:31and was taken up lifeless.
52:34You have killed her.
52:37She must have fainted.
52:39Go.
52:39Go and fetch Mr. Lidderdale at once.
52:41Go, Isabella.
52:42Mr. Lidderdale!
52:45Mr. Lidderdale!
52:54Mr. Lidderdale!
52:55Mr. Lidderdale!
52:57Mr. Lidderdale!
52:58Mr. Lidderdale!
53:00Mr. Lidderdale!
53:00Mr. Lidderdale!
53:00Mr. Lidderdale!
53:00Mr. Lidderdale!
53:01Mr. Lidderdale!
53:01Mr. Lidderdale!
53:02Mr. Lidderdale!
53:02Mr. Lidderdale!
53:03Mr. Lidderdale!
53:04Mr. Lidderdale!
53:05Mr. Lidderdale!
53:05Mr. Lidderdale!
53:10Mr. Lidderdale!
