00:01I'm here to assist Miss Isabella Fowle.
00:03Cassandra, we weren't expecting you.
00:05Isabella must live with her sisters, promise me.
00:08There is no greater comfort in this world than a sister.
00:12You and I will always be sisters, even when I'm Mrs. Fowle.
00:17There are things I must say to you before I leave, in case I do not return.
00:20If you cannot marry me, you must feel free to marry another.
00:23I promise you, Tom, that I will never marry any other man but you.
00:29There are sure to be letters here that will cast up all manner of treasure.
00:32Everything one needs to know about Jane Austen is to be found within the pages of her novels.
00:38We have bad tidings to impart, Cassie.
01:08Why?
01:14Why?
01:16Why?
01:24Where on earth would you be, Diana?
01:26Sorry, ma'am. I was in the kitchen with Miss Isabel.
01:29And what of Miss Austen?
01:31In her room, ma'am.
01:32What's she doing in there?
01:34Cassandra!
01:35There's work to be done.
01:40Mary, my dear.
01:42So there you are.
01:44So here I am.
01:46We weren't expecting you so soon.
01:48On account of tea with Mrs Bunbury.
01:51Yes, there's been a falling out to do with you, Cassandra.
01:54Me?
01:55Mrs Bunbury suggested that you arriving here without informing me first
01:58was a slur on my reputation.
02:00I mounted a most robust offence, but she was adamant.
02:03It's not the dumb thing, Cassandra.
02:06We're supposed to be sisters.
02:09I sincerely hope that relations with Mrs Bunbury
02:13return to cordiality very soon.
02:15Hmm.
02:17Dinah says you've made a start on clearing my dear sister's room.
02:19You know I wish to help.
02:20Did you find any letters from Jane?
02:23Not a single one.
02:26How odd.
02:28Considering how often Jane wrote.
02:30No matter.
02:31I find them myself.
02:33Perhaps you will be lucky where I was not.
02:38Mum.
02:39Mrs Austin, do you wish me to make up Mrs Fell's room for you?
02:42Yes, yes.
02:42Do it at once.
02:43So I may settle myself and get on with clearing.
02:46Task I do not relish given how close Eliza and I were.
02:52Now.
02:53Now, I said.
02:56Ah!
02:57Oh!
03:01Let me pick it up, ma'am.
03:02You'll hurt yourself.
03:03There is little point in making more work than is absolutely necessary, Isabella.
03:07It was an accident.
03:09Ah, well, I'll leave you to it.
03:10I have work to do upstairs.
03:13Dinah.
03:13Dinah.
03:13As soon as you're ready.
03:17There's too much to do.
03:18I must ask Mr Dundas for more time.
03:22I'm not ready.
03:22I won't be ready.
03:24Isabella.
03:25Isabella, I have been in your position and I know how daunting this task must appear.
03:32But I also know how uncertainty for your future can make it feel all the more onerous.
03:39That is why this question must be settled without delay.
03:44To that purpose, I wonder if we might make a visit today to see your sisters.
03:50We're still too busy here, Cassandra.
03:51Surely it can wait.
03:52Isabella, I am becoming increasingly concerned about what is to become of you.
03:57We cannot delay this decision any longer.
04:01We should do it.
04:03Of course.
04:04But not today.
04:09Tomorrow, perhaps.
04:11Besides, I have errands to run this morning.
04:15Very well.
04:16Well, in that case, perhaps I could start to clear the dining room.
04:21I could clear your mother's writing desk.
04:24Save your Aunt Mary the bother.
04:29I have loved this China since I was a child.
04:34Now it is all to go to my brother.
04:39All will be well, Isabella.
04:43I am sure of it.
05:03All will be well, Isabella.
05:05I am sure of it.
05:05I am sure of it.
05:06I am sure of it.
05:09I am sure of it.
05:10I am sure of it.
05:12And I am sure of it.
05:12I am sure of it.
05:19Come on.
05:21Come on.
05:23Let me.
05:24What does that say?
05:25It says Eliza.
05:42Eliza.
06:08Eliza.
06:08My dearest Eliza, your happy news has lightened our spirits here in Steventon.
06:14Mother and father cannot settle on whether you are to expect a boy or a girl.
06:19I shall let you know as soon as they decide.
06:24I wish I had more cheerful news of Cassie.
06:27In all this time, her grief has not abated.
06:33It is not in my sister's nature to reveal the depth of her suffering,
06:37for fear of burdening us with her sorrow.
06:42But I can see how much her heart still aches for Tom.
06:58Our brother Edward has invited her to stay at Godmisham Park, his estate in Kent.
07:06I will miss her dreadfully, though I am hopeful this change in surroundings
07:10might lift her from her melancholy.
07:15It may amuse you to learn that Edward's invitation did not extend to me.
07:21I fear I may be a little too eccentric for Kent society.
07:27It is regretful, as I could certainly cultivate a taste for their acres of rolling countryside,
07:32extensive library and well-stocked wine cellar.
07:42Perhaps Edward's wife, Elizabeth, fears that I would become rather too comfortable and outstay my welcome.
07:49While she is always unfailingly polite to us lowly Austens,
07:54I admit to some surprise she is willing to play host to one of us at all.
08:07Welcome to Godmisham, my dear sister.
08:10Edward.
08:11How well you look.
08:15Considering...
08:16I do hope your journey was a pleasant one.
08:17If anything can be pleasant at such a...
08:22a time.
08:24Thank you, my dear brother.
08:26Come.
08:31Now, I know you'll want to gather yourselves, but the children are quite wild with excitement.
08:36If we don't go straight to see them, I fear they will burst.
08:39They are the perfect tonic to stave off sad.
08:43Cannot wait to see them.
08:44Stand still, no fidgeting.
08:45Say hello, children.
08:46Look who's here.
08:47Look who's here.
08:48Who is it?
08:48Oh, Cassie!
08:50Look how you've all grown.
08:53Look who's here.
08:56Hello.
08:57Hello.
08:58Hello.
09:03I told you, Cass.
09:04Fit to burst.
09:08Hello.
09:09Someone of a more cynical disposition might wonder if Elizabeth has something to gain
09:14by having Aunt Cassie at Godmisham.
09:17This is not a thought that should ever cross my mind, Eliza.
09:21And certainly not one I would write down.
09:24Mum?
09:39What photo are we?
09:41Well, it would appear so.
09:45I may pay Mary Jane, Isabella's sister, a visit on my travels.
09:50Are you expected?
09:51Mrs. Mary Jane Dexter is not one for a surprise visit.
09:54I'm sure she will be more than happy to see me when she knows the purpose of my visit.
09:59Time is of the essence.
10:02We must make sure Isabella is taken care of.
10:29Mrs. Dexter?
10:33Mary Jane?
10:34It's me.
10:34Cassandra Austin.
10:35I've come to call on you.
10:42Mrs. In, in.
10:49You can never be too careful.
10:53Come into the parlour.

11:50isn't that why you're here to make sure yes
11:53it's just that isabella doesn't seem to know this

18:53Shall we attempt the 8 times table?
18:56I can try, miss.
18:57Very good.
19:021 times 8 is...
19:058.
19:05Indeed.
19:062 times 8 is...
19:0916.
19:12I have just seen Miss Isabella with a pupil.
19:15She is quite the teacher.
19:17I had no idea.
19:19There's a lot to Miss Isabella that people don't know.
19:22I don't want to.
19:24She must have made her father proud.
19:26Looking after him, as she did.
19:29Well, if he was, ma'am, he never told her.
19:31Though he wasn't quiet about much else.
19:33He was to fill the house with his presents, did Reverend Phil?
19:36God rest him.
19:38Hmm.
19:39I had not seen him for some time, but I do recall he was the most exuberant of men.
19:44Well, if that's what you like to call it.
19:46There's many a day you'd have heard him shouting up in the village and he used to bellow at Miss
19:51Isabella.
19:54Bellow?
19:55What do you mean, Dinah?
19:57Not a thing, ma'am.
19:59It's not for me to say anything.
20:00I must go and fetch the rest of the dinner service.
20:04Uh, Dinah, is Mrs. Austin still resting?
20:08She is that, ma'am.
20:10I wish to visit Miss Isabella's other sister.
20:13Where might I find Miss Beth's school?
20:17Behind the plasterer's arms.
20:45PHONE RINGS
20:51Excuse me, could you tell me where I might find Miss Fowle?
20:54Miss Winner-Borne's.
21:20Cassandra, there's illness here. You must leave at once.
21:22Miss Austin, you cannot be in here.
21:24What ails her?
21:26Diphtheria.
21:27It has spread through the village.
21:29But as for the rest, poverty, misfortune, nothing I can cure.
21:35Now I beg you, leave.
21:37It is not safe here.
21:38Come, Cassandra, I'll walk you to the end of the village.
21:50Beth, I must talk to you about Isabella's future.
21:53Isabella's future, that great conversation that never seems to end.
21:58Well, it has been discussed already.
21:59Endlessly.
22:01Though I try very hard to stay out of the Fowle family politics, as I have no appetite for meddling.
22:06Your sister is about to lose her home.
22:08Isabella is a grown woman.
22:11Surely she's more than capable of securing her own future, whatever.
22:15Whatever that may be.
22:16I'm sorry, but I must get back.
22:18Mr. Litterdale needs me.
22:20Come and visit again when the school reopens.
22:22I'd like to show you what I do there.
22:24Beth.
22:25Beth.
22:34Oh, where have you been?
22:37We've been so worried.
22:39It's weather.
22:40Isabella!
22:41Remove this dog from my presence at once.
22:43Oh, it appears your Aunt Mary has wasn't from her rest.
22:47Yes.
22:48She found my mother's room a little on the chilly side.
22:58Still no letters, Mary?
23:00Er, no.
23:01Strangely.
23:03This is my sister's writing desk.
23:07Well, throw these away.
23:08Eliza was always prone to a great deal of sentiment.
23:12How foolish to go out in this weather, Cassandra.
23:14She'd know better at your age.
23:18That dog is feral.
23:21He'll be the death of me.
23:22He must be banned from the house at once.
23:26Tea.
23:27Dinah.
23:28In the drawing room.
23:29Come on, Peter.
23:30Come on.
23:47Come on.
23:48Is that the only tiling we have?
23:51We have packed the rest on, Mary, at your instruction.
23:54Oh, well, then I suppose I must endure it.
23:57Oh, my leg is bothering me again.
24:03That tea will be going cold before any of us have a chance to taste it.
24:07Isabella, do you have any more cushions?
24:09My leg should be more raised.
24:14More raised.
24:15Yes.
24:17And a blanket, perhaps.
24:27Yes.
24:28And more locked on fire.
24:35Oh, so where have you been, anyway?
24:37To visit Miss Beth.
24:39There is sickness at the top of the village.
24:42She is up there helping Mr. Liddardale.
24:44Ah, Beth and Mr. Liddardale.
24:47So she's a nurse as well as a teacher.
24:50They did seem very familiar with one another.
24:52Oh.
24:52That is a surprise, is it not, Isabella?
24:56You must forgive me, Aunt Mary.
24:59I have much to be getting on with.
25:01Dinah, Miss Austen, a hot bath.
25:03We don't want her getting sick.
25:11Beth Fowl has been nothing but a trial for this family.
25:16Fraternising with certain elements of society.
25:19Her father did not approve.
25:21She was tending to Mrs. Winterbourne.
25:25You should see the conditions that poor woman lives in.
25:27Well, let us not dwell on Miss Fortune.
25:32Go, go, go, take your bath.
25:35I'll rest some more and then I can set about taking charge.
25:39Miss family needs a firmer hand.
25:40Miss family needs a firmer hand.
26:11Miss Fowl?
26:16Miss Fowl?
26:17Miss Fowl?
26:19Miss Fowl?
26:20Miss Fowl?
26:23Miss Fowl?
26:25Miss Fowl?
26:26So you're in here now?
26:28I thought I heard a noise.
26:30I thought you were resting your leg.
26:32Oh, the fire in the drawing room is a misery.
26:36Have you found something?
26:39No.
26:40No.
26:40No. I just wanted to see if I could still hear the sea.
26:47Stories for children, Cassandra. You could never hear the sea.
26:53The sea sounds so calm today.
26:57I cannot wait to stand beside it in Sidmouth.
26:59I'll miss you when you're gone.
27:01It is only for a season.
27:03The Austens of Hampshire are embarking on the first of their great holiday schemes.
27:07You'll hardly recognize us when we return.
27:09Isabella will have grown so much by then.
27:14It is Brother James and Sister Mary. They've arrived.
27:19How lovely.
27:31Where's Anna?
27:34Anna!
27:43We've missed you.
27:45Let's go upstairs.
27:47You've grown, Miss Anna.
27:50I've grown two whole shoe sizes.
27:52Two?
27:53Let's hope you stop growing soon or there'll be no shoes left in the country to fit you.
27:57Save giant's shoes.
28:01Hold it to your ear and listen.
28:04Can you hear the sea?
28:07I can hear it.
28:08I can hear it.
28:09What does the sea look like?
28:12Well,
28:15you will soon know.
28:17Because we three
28:19are going to the seaside.
28:21What a wonderful idea.
28:24What a splendid idea.
28:27I'm sure your father and I will manage without you, Anna.
28:39My dear Isabella, please try to pull yourself together.
28:43Mary.
28:45Mary, she has just lost her father.
28:46I am aware, and it is sad, but he was elderly, and that is the natural order of things.
28:53It should be easier to bear.
28:55But there is nothing written to tell each one of us how we must endure grief.
29:05Isabella, perhaps a few chapters from your Aunt Jane's novel may make a welcome distraction.
29:10Have you been reading aloud from Jane's novels?
29:15I thought your father had expressly forbidden that practice.
29:18As you have reminded me, Aunt Mary, my father is no longer here.
29:22Perhaps I could recite some of your Uncle James's poetry.
29:27That is kind.
29:29But I find myself pleasantly surprised by how much I am enjoying persuasion.
29:34Anne Elliot is a most interesting character.
29:38A pleasant sort of person.
29:42Sensible.
29:44With not much drama about her.
29:46And I am most keen to hear the ending of her story before I am evicted from this house.
29:52Will she have her happy ending?
29:54Well, we must read on, then, and find out.
29:58Oh, I must know if she is to be married.
30:02Is that the only outcome that would be happy?
30:06It is.
30:07Oh, Isabella.
30:09There are so many other ways for women like us to find happiness.
30:14Are there?
30:16Read on.
30:17Please, Cassandra.
30:20From this time, Captain Wentworth and Anne Elliot were repeatedly in the same circle.
30:28Well, they had no conversation together.
30:31No intercourse but what the commonest civility required.
30:36Once so much to each other.
30:39And now, nothing.
30:42Now they were strangers, nay, worse than strangers, for they could never become acquainted.
30:51Oh, Cassandra.
30:52Your sister understood affairs of her heart better than anyone.
30:57Please tell me.
30:59Did she ever know love?
31:02Writing was Jane's greatest love.
31:06She took great comfort from the heroes in her books, but in life, no man was ever worthy.
31:14Forgive me, my dear, but I think your memory fails here.
31:19Wasn't there a gentleman you both met in Sidmouth?
31:22The season you spent there, remember?
31:25And wasn't there even rivalry between you?
31:29Rivalry?
31:31In love?
31:35I have no idea what your Aunt Mary is talking about.
31:38If I recall, this gentleman seemed greatly attracted to Jane.
31:49Do excuse me, madam.
32:00How romantic.
32:02To fall in love by the sea.
32:08What a lovely confection.
32:12Your Aunt Jane would be very amused to find herself the heroine of a romantic triangle.
32:23I am afraid I find myself exceedingly tired, and my head hurts.
32:29Okay, I do hope I have not caught a chill from today's wanderings.
32:35No, no, I can manage.
32:41Good night.
33:19Come along now.
33:22Jane!
33:24Jane!
33:25Shall we go?
33:28Here, let me tie it for you.
33:33Why do you only wear black, Aunt Cassie?
33:36Because.
33:38It becomes me.
33:41Your Aunt Jane is happy here.
33:44Let's just go shopping.
33:45Yes, please.
34:04Oh, look at the yellow one, Aunt Cassie.
34:06Do you see it?
34:07You all look so pretty in that.
34:09Far better than boring or black.
34:12It is very lovely, my dear.
34:18Oh, look at the blue, Aunt Cassie.
34:20It's the colour of the sea.
34:22Oh, is it like the yellow best?
34:24Because it's like the sun.
34:27It is indeed.
34:30Let's come back for some ribbons tomorrow.
34:32What a charming child.
34:38Do excuse me, madam.
34:46Be of mine pertinence, miss, but that is the most excellent shell.
34:52Yes, it is.
34:55Mama, are you ready?
34:57Thank you, my dear.
35:02Good day to you.
35:16Oh, I do like it here.
35:18Oh, I like it very much.
35:20So what have you been up to since the beach, my darlings?
35:22I hope you haven't been sitting in here when outside there's all manner of magnificence.
35:26Look, Aunt Jane.
35:27I found this.
35:28It's my collection.
35:30Oh, that's a beauty.
35:33Cassie, I think the sea is beginning to work its magic.
35:35I spy some colour in this landlubber's face.
35:38We'll make a pirate out of her yet.
35:41I think Aunt Cass is recovering some of her bloom, too, in spite of her best efforts.
35:47You look better.
35:49The nice man we met in the dress shop said it was a most excellent shell.
35:54Nice man?
35:55What nice man is this, pray tell?
35:59I'll go and check on Mother, and then we can make plans for the rest of the day.
36:05Is Grandmama poorly?
36:07No, my dear.
36:08Your Grandmama likes to take to her bed whenever we arrive anywhere new.
36:12She can test the mattress, meet the doctors, sample the wares of the local apothecary.
36:16It's her way of feeling at home.
36:18Like all the best invalids, she will outlive us all.
36:21Jane, that's not fair.
36:23Mama has been quite bilious since we arrived.
36:26Travel affects her.
36:32Oh, they're beautiful.
36:34My bowels feel much steadier, Cassie.
36:38After what was the most frightful evacuation.
36:41Thanks be to the Lord.
36:43Lord, I think I will like this apothecary.
36:46He has a good feel for my system.
36:52Beautiful evening.
36:54Yes, quite beautiful.
36:57Er, Mrs. George Austen.
37:00Mr. Henry Hobdate.
37:01My pleasure, ma'am.
37:02This is my eldest daughter, Miss Austen.
37:07Yes, I do believe I've made your daughter's acquaintance before.
37:12Miss Austen.
37:14Passing encounter in a shop, is all.
37:16Indeed.
37:20And this is my other daughter, Miss Jane Austen.
37:25Delighted.
37:25Likewise.
37:27Have a lovely evening.
37:32Come.
37:33Father and Anna will be waiting.
37:36Impatiently, no doubt.
37:39No doubt.
38:01I don't want to go all the way up there, Grandpa Park.
38:04You don't have to, my pet.
38:06We have every chance of discovering treasures amongst these rocks.
38:10Good morning, sir.
38:11Splendid day for fossil hunting, is it not?
38:13Indeed it is, sir.
38:16Now, my granddaughter has declared it the perfect day to unearth hidden treasures from the past.
38:22Well, she has come to the right place.
38:24Ladies.
38:25I'm not a lady. I'm far too young.
38:27My apologies.
38:30Now, you are a serious fossil hunter, are you not?
38:33I am.
38:34Well, I've already found some excellent specimens that you might be interested in.
38:38Let me furnish you with the tools of the trade.
38:41We are blessed to have such an expert with us.
38:44Ah, no expert. More of an enthusiastic amateur.
38:59Do you think I'll find a sea monster, Mr. Hobday?
39:03Well, perhaps not a monster, but a sea creature, certainly.
39:07Some sea creatures, fossils, are found at the top of mountains.
39:11Isn't that so?
39:11You see, many years ago, the Earth was almost completely covered by water.
39:15And then, over time, those waters receded to reveal the land beneath.
39:28Do you think I'll find a sea creature in there?
39:30You may well do.
39:54What am I looking at?
39:56It's the shape of a worm. Mr. Hobday says it must be thousands of years old.
40:00Many thousands, even.
40:01That is evidence of a creature that lived on Earth even before man.
40:06What are you drawing, my dear?
40:08My daughter is an artist of considerable talent.
40:10Papa.
40:11Oh, look, she's captured your likeness brilliantly.
40:15May I see?
40:16It is but a sketch.
40:19Now, young lady, let us leave Mr. Hobday in peace.
40:27Mr. Hobday is so clever, Aunt Jane.
40:30Is he now?
40:30He knows everything.
40:32Does he know?
40:33Aunt Cassie drew a sketch of him.
40:36Did she now?
40:38She did, and it was quite the likeness.
40:40Not just of him.
40:42I drew all three of them while I was bored waiting for them to finish.
40:45And what was your opinion of Mr. Hobday, husband?
40:50Well, given we hardly know him, he struck me as unusually gifted in all that is agreeable.
40:58And now, Cassie, pray tell me, do you share your father's opinion?
41:05I must say I do.
41:08So much so that I believe he would be an ideal suitor for Jane.
41:13For me?
41:14Yes, you.
41:15He's intelligent.
41:16He reads.
41:19He knows a great deal about the history of mankind.
41:23You must think of your future, Jane.
41:25It matters not a jot which of you, as long as it's one of you.
41:37I have no intention of taking tea with Mrs. Hobday, or anyone for that matter.
41:42Far too busy.
41:43I have a chapter I must finish.
41:47Well, what if he's there?
41:49What if who is there?
41:50Mr. Hobday.
41:53You might find him to your liking.
41:57I won't find him to my liking.
42:18One moment.
42:20One moment.
42:23How is your headache?
42:26You retired rather abruptly, and I thought I'd look in on you.
42:31Was it something I said?
42:33No.
42:34No, not at all.
42:36I can't even remember what we were talking about.
42:39How is Eliza's room?
42:40I'm cold.
42:41This house is like the grave now.
42:46Well, good night.
42:47Good night.
42:47Sleep well, my dear.
43:01Oh, Mrs. Austin, I do sympathize.
43:04I'm here for the sea air, but this wretched body of mine has not let me outdoors all week.
43:10How awful.
43:10Well, I was struck down by biliousness the minute we arrived.
43:17It'll be her evacuations next.
43:19Perhaps the floor will open up and swallow us.
43:21It would be a blessed relief.
43:23And what of Mr. Hobday?
43:25We lost my husband four years ago.
43:29I'm sorry to hear that.
43:32What did he ail from?
43:34A tumour.
43:36A tumour?
43:37We saw the best of men, but there was nothing to be done.
43:43I see you are studying our books.
43:45Do novels interest you both?
43:47Very much so.
43:48You have some of our favourites here.
43:50My sister and I never go anywhere without Sir Charles Granderson by our side.
43:54These are my son's books, and he reads to me every night.
43:57Perhaps that shall be our next book.
43:59Your son enjoys the works of the Madame Burnie and Hedgeworth.
44:03Cassie seemed to think he was of the more scientific persuasion.
44:07He's a scientist and an artist.
44:09Yes.
44:10A philosopher and a lover of the novel.
44:12I do believe he could take over the world if he were not so insistent on looking after his poor,
44:18infirm mother.
44:20Would you like some cake?
44:22Well, he did say he was perfect.
44:24I'm not sure what my constitution would take.
44:31That curate was handsome enough and single from what I hear, but his sermon was a touch...
44:38Terrifying, Mama.
44:40Mrs. Austin.
44:42Oh, well, this is a coincidence, and I must say the happiest one.
44:49Mr. Hobdame, Mrs. Hobdame?
44:50Mrs. Austin.
44:52How did you find the sermon today, sir?
44:55Oh, I thought the young lad did well enough, considering his church was hardly full to brimming.
45:00That must explain his histrionics in the pulpit.
45:03Perhaps he's hoping his reputation for hysteria will travel and drum up more gullible trade from out of town.
45:08My dear Jane is entitled to preach in his own manner.
45:12My father is being polite.
45:14That sermon was not to our taste.
45:16It was vulgar and excessive.
45:17What did you think, Mr. Hobdame?
45:19Jane, you cannot ask Mr. Hobdame of his opinion when you've been so sure of your own.
45:24Do forgive my sister, Mr. Hobdame.
45:27She's not usually quite so outspoken.
45:30I can assure you she certainly is, Mr. Hobdame.
45:33Well, luckily, I agree most comprehensively with Miss Austin.
45:36It was not to my taste either.
45:38How will you all find these signals?
45:39Oh.
45:40I like it very much.
45:41We are of the exact same opinion once again as we're seeing.
45:44We must pick up the pace, girls.
45:46Our son Frank isn't drowning tonight.
45:48Did you know our brother has fought Napoleon single-handed, Mr. Hobdame?
45:53I rather approve of your Mr. Hobdame.
45:57He's not my Mr. Hobdame.
46:00In fact, I thought you made rather the impression.
46:02Was I delightful?
46:04No, you were frightful.
46:04As frightful as I was to Mr. Blackhall.
46:08Nobody in the history of social intercourse has been as frightful to anyone as you were to Mr. Blackhall.
46:13So would you estimate this morning it's a half a Blackhall?
46:18I think I'd say more of a third.
46:22And he's certainly not my Mr. Hobdame.
46:24Really?
46:24Then you have not noticed the way he looks at you.
46:27Nonsense.
46:27He ignores me at every opportunity.
46:30He pays everyone else far more attention.
46:32Papa, Anna, you.
46:33Precisely.
46:34And that is the evidence.
46:36I am something of an expert in romantic matters.
46:39And I'm quite sure I saw sparks flying between you.
46:42I think one even caught in my bonnet.
46:44Because of your charms, I might have gone up in smoke.
46:48Cass.
46:49How can you be so blind?
46:51You have caught him in your powers.
46:53I have no powers.
46:55Oh, you do, my darling.
46:56And that you are unaware of them makes you more powerful still.
47:01Mr. Hobdame has fallen for you, Cassie.
47:05Well, then I'm sorry for him.
47:08I've lost the only man I could ever marry.
47:10I have no possible interest in Mr. Hobdame.
47:16Where are you going?
47:18To right.
47:33Jane.
47:35What more have you said?
47:38Eliza.
47:39Our Sidmouth adventure is proving far more entertaining than even I could have imagined.
47:44A secret plan is afoot.
47:47And I am to be my young niece Anna's willing accomplice.
47:50The beneficiary of our surprise is to be Cassie, no less.
48:05Please say like it.
48:15No, it's not.
48:18Please say like it.
48:19Thank you for going.
48:19Thank you, friend.
48:38You see your power now?
48:58What is it?
49:00Just waiting for someone.
49:13Miss Austin.
49:15Mr Hobday.
49:19Yellow suits you.
49:40I may have neglected to say how sorry I was to hear of your tragic loss.
49:47That is most kind, Mr Hobday.
49:51I confess I, I was overwhelmed by grief at first.
49:57And now?
50:02Now, it is not so sharp.
50:13My dear Eliza, this comes to you with great urgency.
50:17I must share it with you, though it is not my secret to tell.
50:21Now, my sister, my beloved sister Cassie, is in love.
50:44Cassandra, what are you doing down here at this hour?
50:48I heard a noise, it frightened the life out of me.
50:51I don't know how I got here.
50:53Are you ill?
50:54You must be ill.
50:55Now, don't come here if you're ill.
50:57Please.
50:58Please, just leave me.
51:00If you're sure.
51:04I don't know.
51:06Let's go.
51:06I don't know.
51:41Miss Austen?
51:43Miss Austen?
51:44God save us, don't tell us she's gone and died on this.
51:47Cassandra?
51:48Isabella?
51:48Cassandra, it's me.
51:50Isabella?
51:50Is she alright?
51:51She's burning up.
51:53Is she saying for Mr. Litterdale?
51:56Miss Isabella?
51:57Mr. Litterdale is too busy.
51:59We'll nurse her ourselves.
52:01Miss Isabella?
52:01I know what I am doing, Dinah.
52:08A beautiful day, is it not?
52:10Quite beautiful.
52:12Then I wonder if you might consider walking out for me.
52:20Eliza's letters.
52:22Am I to understand you already have knowledge of their whereabouts?
52:25Why ever would you think that?
52:27If I were the future Mrs. Harris Bigwither, I should make room for as many sisters as possible.
52:33Are you an admirer of the seaside, Mr. Bigwither?
52:37Do you truly believe that you could one day love this man?
52:39When manna falls from heaven, it would be foolish to squander it.
52:44I am to be in print.
52:46I am to be a published authorette.
52:54I am to be in print.
53:18I am to be in print.
53:18I am to be in print.
53:18But ofÄlning & and the rocksany end.
