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.
00:58We have bad tidings to put on the pages of her novels.
01:02We have a lot ofальную exercises for her novels.
01:07What about the book?
01:12What about the book?
01:14What about the book?
01:18What book or books?
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?
01:31Inner room, ma'am.
01:32What's she doing here?
01:34Cassandra! There'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.
02:42Yes.
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, 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 when 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, Dinah.
03:14As soon as you're ready.
03:17There's too much to do.
03:19Ah!
03:19I must ask Mr Dundas for more time.
03:21I'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.
03:40That is why this question must be settled without delay.
03:43To 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...
04:06But 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.
05:04All will be well, Isabella.
05:05I am sure of it.
05:19Go to my daughter.
05:21I'm sorry.
05:22Yes you see her.
05:23What is it?
05:25I am sorry.
05:32I'm sorry.
05:41Why, Liza?
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.
06:41Let's go there, boys. Walk on.
06:43But 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 might lift her from her melancholy.
07:15It may amuse you to learn that Edward's invitation did not extend to me.
07:22I 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 lonely 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.
08:14Considering, um, I do hope your journey was a pleasant one.
08:17If, if, if 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.
08:56There you go.
08:58Peek-a-boo.
08:59Peek-a-boo.
09:02I told you, Cass.
09:04Fit to burst.
09:08Hello.
09:09Someone of a more cynical disposition might wonder if Elizabeth has something to gain by having Aunt Cassie at Godmisham.
09:17This is not a thought that should ever cross my mind, Eliza, and certainly not one I would write down.
09:24Mum?
09:39Our photo, are we?
09:41Well, it would appear so.
09:43Well, I may pay Mary Jane, Isabella's sister, a visit on my travels.
09:49Are you expected?
09:51Mrs. Mirajin 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.
10:11Must be now.
10:29Who is it?
10:31Mrs. Dexter?
10:33Mary Jane, it's me, Cassandra Austin.
10:36I've come to call on you.
10:42It's him, him.
10:49You can never be too careful.
10:53Come into the parlour.
11:03What interesting objects.
11:06What do you see here are the joys of the empire.
11:11Halcyon days.
11:15Halcyon.
11:18Now, sit down.
11:26Isabella's been looking after you, has she?
11:28Oh, yes.
11:30Impeccably.
11:34She's got the heart of an ox, Isabella.
11:37Braver than you think.
11:41Although she wouldn't survive for one single day on her own, so it's a good thing she's come to live
11:45with me.
11:46So it's settled, then?
11:49Of course it's settled.
11:50Isn't that why you're here?
11:51To make sure?
11:53Yes.
11:53It's just that Isabella doesn't seem to know this.
11:57What you have to know about my sister is this.
11:59She thinks she knows her own mind, but she doesn't.
12:08Tiffin?
12:10Aye.
12:24Miss Fowl.
12:25Mr. Liddardale.
12:26I must offer you my apologies.
12:29I have been tardy in calling to inquire how you are faring since.
12:33I am perfectly well.
12:36In truth, I have been busy preparing the vicarage for the new vicar.
12:40I am sure that must be a most difficult task.
12:44Have you secured new lodgings?
12:49Not yet.
12:52But it is all in hand.
12:54I am delighted to hear that.
12:57There is nothing more unsettling than insecurity.
13:01Indeed.
13:05I wish you well.
13:07Truly.
13:09That is most kind.
13:11Now, if you'll forgive me, I have an errand to run.
13:22Dearest Eliza, I am happy to report that Cassie indulges my frequent demands for news from Godmersham and writes often.
13:31Though I hear suspiciously little about the delights and amusements of the Kent countryside,
13:36and a great deal more about Spillikins with the tiny inhabitants of the nursery.
13:49Oh, Elizabeth, there you are.
13:52I wondered if I might take a short turn around the garden while the baby's asleep.
13:55Oh, my dear, no.
13:58It's too warm outside.
13:59You're in the best place up here.
14:02Besides, I cannot play that game for my life.
14:07Oh, look how they adore you.
14:09I cannot tell you how much it suits me to have you here.
14:13Things have turned out so well, have they not?
14:18I mean...
14:20I did not mean...
14:21I know what you mean, my dear.
14:23I'm most grateful to be here.
14:25Good.
14:27Now, I think I might have a little rest before my family arrive for dinner.
14:35Oh, look, I did it.
14:37It's your turn, I'm a taxi.
14:47Edward?
14:48Where are you going?
14:50We have guests for dinner.
14:51Just at the stables to cast my eyes over the new filly.
14:53I won't be long.
14:54I'm afraid the filly will have to wait.
14:56My mother will be here before we know it,
14:58and she would not be happy if a horse has taken precedence.
15:01No.
15:02No, that would not do.
15:04Have you told Cassie what time she's expected downstairs?
15:06Oh, my dearest.
15:08I don't think it would be correct for Cassie to join us.
15:11It's a family dinner, and Cassie is family after all.
15:14She is still in mourning, Edward.
15:17It would not be appropriate for her to attend a happy party.
15:21Cook will send something up on a train.
15:28Eliza, I must prevail upon you for assistance in a matter of great urgency.
15:34Cassie is trapped in the nursery at Godmisham.
15:37My good and dutiful sister does not complain,
15:40but it is clear to me that the situation is most serious.
15:47Please do not think the indelicate if I suggest the timing is to our advantage.
15:52I beg you, Eliza, write to Cassie and request her presence at your confinement.
15:58Elizabeth will not deny a mother in need,
16:01and as for Edward, he will do as he is bidden.
16:05We cannot allow our beloved Cassie to convince herself
16:09that her life's sole value lies in the role of dependable spinster aunt.
16:15Please write as soon as you are able.
16:17I have an inkling that our intervention will be a relief to her.
16:42Shush now.
16:43The baby will be here soon.
16:47She needs laudanum.
17:04Eliza?
17:05She's sleeping, Fuller.
17:07She's exhausted.
17:09Do you have a girl?
17:11Her sweetest, most beloved little girl.
17:16Another girl.
17:30My dearest Eliza,
17:32we are delighted to hear you are safely delivered
17:35and baby Isabella is thriving.
17:45Isabella is a splendid name.
17:48She can only grow up to be a heroine or a Spanish queen,
17:52though I would not wish that fate upon her.
17:55No.
17:56Her adventures will be magnificent
17:58and not solely confined to the great county of Berkshire.
18:03Look, Isabella.
18:06Your dear, sweet Uncle Tom's tree.
18:12His and mine's.
18:2628.
18:27Mm-hmm.
18:29Five times seven is...
18:3235.
18:34Very good, Arthur.
18:36Now, six times seven is...
18:39Six times seven is...
18:42Six times seven is...
18:43Forty-two.
18:43Mm-hmm.
18:44Seven times seven is...
18:49Rise and shine.
18:5049.
18:51Well done.
18:53Shall we attempt the eight times table?
18:56I can try, miss.
18:57Very good.
19:01One times eight is...
19:05One times eight is...
19:05Indeed.
19:06Two times eight 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.
19:38Mm.
19:38I had not seen him for some time,
19:40but 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,
19:49and he used to bellow at Miss Isabella.
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.
20:06Dinah, is Mrs. Austin still resting?
20:08She is that, ma'am.
20:09I wish to visit Miss Isabella's other sister.
20:13Where may I find Miss Beth's school?
20:17Behind the plaster of his arms.
20:51Excuse me, could you tell me where I might find Miss Fowle?
20:54Miss Winner-Borne's.
21:20Cassandra, there's illness here.
21:21You 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,
21:31poverty,
21:33misfortune,
21:34nothing I can cure.
21:35Now I beg you, leave.
21:37It is not safe here.
21:38Come, Cassandra.
21:39I'll walk you to the end of the village.
21:50Beth, I must talk to you about Isabella's future.
21:53Isabella's future.
21:54That great conversation that never seems to end.
21:58Well, it has been discussed already.
22:00Endlessly.
22:01Though I try very hard to stay out of the Fowle family politics,
22:04as 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,
22:14whatever that may be.
22:16I'm sorry, but I must get back.
22:18Miss Liddardale needs me.
22:20Come 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.
22:45It appears your Aunt Mary has risen 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, Dinah, in the drawing room.
23:29Come on, Peter.
23:30Come on.
23:31Come on.
23:32Come on.
23:44Come on.
23:48Is that the only timing 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, that 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.
25:45Poppy needs a firmer hand.
25:46Miss family needs a firmer hand.
25:48Hi.
25:54Miss family needs a firmer hand.
26:11Sandra!
26:18Sandra!
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.
26:42I just wanted to see if I could still hear the sea.
26:47Stories for children, Cassandra.
26:49You 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.
27:18They've arrived.
27:19How lovely.
27:30Where's Anna?
27:33Anna?
27:38Anna?
27:41Anna?
27:47I'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 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.
28:08What does the sea look like?
28:14Well, you will sooner.
28:17Because we three are 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, Mary, 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.
29:11Have 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' 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.
29:41Sensible.
29:44Not 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.
30:29They 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 as strangers.
30:44Nay, worse than strangers.
30:47For they could never become acquainted.
30:51Oh, Cassandra.
30:53Your sister understood affairs of the heart better than anyone.
30:56Please tell me.
30:59Please 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.
31:15Forgive 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?
31:34I have no idea what your Aunt Mary is talking about.
31:39If 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.
32:09What 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.
32:29I do hope I have not caught a chill from today's wonderings.
32:35No, no, I can manage.
32:41Good night.
32:45Good night.
32:55Good night.
33:19Come along now.
33:21Jane!
33:24Jane!
33:25Shall we go?
33:28Here, let me tie it for you.
33:34Why 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, Auntie Cassie.
34:20It's the colour of the sea.
34:22Oh, is it like the yellow best, because it's like the sun?
34:27It is indeed.
34:30Let's come back for some ribbons tomorrow.
34:32What a charming child.
34:37Do 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.
35:16Oh, 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.
35:32Cassie?
35:33I think the sea is beginning to work its magic.
35:36I 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 Paulie?
36:07No, my dear.
36:08Your Grandmama likes to take to her bed whenever we arrive anywhere new.
36:11She 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.
36:24Mama has been quite bilious since we arrived.
36:26Travel affects her.
36:35My bowels feel much steadier, Cassie.
36:38After what was the most frightful evacuation.
36:41Thanks be to the Lord.
36:43I think I will like this apothecary.
36:46He has a good feel for my system.
36:52Beautiful evening.
36:54Yes, quite beautiful.
36:57Mrs. George Austin.
37:00Mr. Henry Hobgate, it's my pleasure, ma'am.
37:02This is my eldest daughter, Miss Austin.
37:08Yes, I do believe I've made your daughter's acquaintance before.
37:12Miss Austin.
37:14Passing the encounter in a shop, is all right?
37:17Indeed.
37:20And this is my other daughter, Miss Jane.
37:23Austin.
37:25Delighted.
37:25Likewise.
37:27Have a lovely evening.
37:32Come.
37:34Father and Anna will be waiting.
37:36Impatiently, no 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.
38:11Ah, splendid 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 have 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.
38:45More of an enthusiastic amateur.
38:59Do you think I'll find a sea monster, Mr. Hobbitay?
39:03Perhaps not a monster, but a sea creature, certainly.
39:06Well, some 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.
39:57Mr. Hobbitay 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. Hobbitay in peace.
40:27Mr. Hobbitay 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 know?
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.
40:46And what was your opinion of Mr. Hobbitay, 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?
41:06I 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.
41:22You 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. Hobbitay, 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 he was there?
41:51Mr. Hobbitay.
41:53You might find him to your liking.
41:57I won't find him to my liking.
42:19One moment.
42:23How is your headache?
42:25I...
42:25You 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?
42:40Cold.
42:42This house is like the grave now.
42:46Well, good night.
42:47Good night.
42:47Sleep well, my dear.
43:02Oh, 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.
43:09How awful.
43:11Well, 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. Hobbitay?
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.
44:00Your 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.
44:09A philosopher and a lover of the novel.
44:12I do believe he could take over the world
44:15if he were not so insistent on looking after his poor, infirm 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,
44:35but his sermon was a touch...
44:38Terrifying, Mama.
44:40Mrs. Austin.
44:42Oh, well, this is a coincidence.
44:45And, I must say, the happiest one.
44:49Mr. Hobday, Mrs. Hobday?
44:50Mrs. Austin.
44:52How did you find the sermon today, sir?
44:55Oh, I thought the young lad did well enough,
44:58considering 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
45:06and 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. Hobday?
45:19You cannot ask Mr. Hobday of his opinion
45:22when you've been so sure of your own.
45:24Do forgive my sister, Mr. Hobday.
45:27She's not usually quite so outspoken.
45:30I can assure you, she certainly is, Mr. Hobday.
45:33Well, luckily, I agree most comprehensively with Mrs. Austin.
45:36It was not to my taste either.
45:38How will you all find these symptoms?
45:40Oh.
45:40I like it very much.
45:41We are of the exact same opinion once again, it was seen.
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
45:50single-handed, Mr. Hobday?
45:53I rather approve of your Mr. Hobday.
45:57He's not my Mr. Hobday.
46:00In fact, I thought you made rather the impression.
46:02Was I delightful?
46:04No, you were frightful.
46:05As frightful as I was to Mr. Blackhall?
46:08Nobody in the history of social intercourse
46:10has been as frightful to anyone
46:11as you were to Mr. Blackhall.
46:13So would you estimate this morning
46:14it's a half a Blackhall?
46:17I think I'd say more of a third.
46:22And he's certainly not my Mr. Hobday.
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'm something of an expert in romantic matters
46:38and I'm quite sure I saw sparks flying between you.
46:42I think one even caught in my bonnet
46:44because of your charms.
46:45I might have gone up in smoke.
46:49Cass, how can you be so blind?
46:51You have caught him in your powers.
46:53I have no powers.
46:54Oh, you do, my darling.
46:56And that you are unaware of them
46:58makes you more powerful still.
47:01Mr. Hobday 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. Hobday.
47:17Where are you going?
47:18To right.
47:34Jane, what more have you said?
47:38Eliza, our Sidmouth adventure
47:40is proving far more entertaining
47:42than even I could have imagined.
47:44A secret plan is afoot
47:46and I am to be my young niece Anna's
47:49willing accomplice.
47:50The beneficiary of our surprise
47:52is to be Cassie, no less.
48:05Please say like it.
48:18Thank you for being here.
48:20Thank you, Frank.
48:38You see your power now?
48:58What is it?
49:00Just waiting for someone.
49:03Come on.
49:13Miss Austin.
49:15What's the whole day?
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. Hovday.
49:51I confess I...
49:53I was overwhelmed by grief at first.
49:57And now?
50:01Now...
50:03It is not so sharp.
50:12My dear Eliza, this comes to you with great urgency.
50:17I must share it with you, though it is not my secret to tell.
50:22My sister, my beloved sister Cassie, is in love.
50:42Cassandra!
50:44What 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? You must be ill.
50:55Now don't come here if you're ill.
50:57Please.
50:58Please, just leave me here.
51:00If you're sure.
51:05No.
51:10Please.
51:14No.
51:29You.
51:34No.
51:37No.
51:38No.
51:41Miss Austen. Miss Austen. God save us. Don't tell us she's gone and died on this. Cassandra.
51:48Isabella. Cassandra, it's me. Isabella. Is she all right?
51:51She's burning up. We should send from Mr. Litterdale.
51:56Miss Isabella. Mr. Litterdale is too busy. We'll nurse her ourselves.
52:01Miss Isabella. I know what I am doing, Dinah.
52:04Miss Isabella. A beautiful day, is it not? Quite beautiful.
52:12Then I wonder if you might consider walking out for me.
52:20Eliza's letters. Am 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.
