00:22I could not remember when I had last felt so ready for change.
00:27A new beginning.
00:37As I traveled to the lakes, I reflected on what the gardeners had taught me.
00:43They did not consider happiness a matter of chance.
00:46Instead, they did everything in their power to cultivate it.
00:53Through them, I could see another way of being.
01:11I just want to stretch my legs.
01:22Of course, Mother. I will be swift.
01:27Anne!
01:29Mary!
01:35What are you doing here?
01:37I'm with Mr and Mrs Gardner. We're traveling to the lakes.
01:39What are you doing here?
01:42Mary, we have much to catch up on.
01:46My mother and I were just taking a rest at the inn.
01:49We're heading home to Nottingham for two weeks.
01:51But what of you and Mr Hayward?
01:54Are you engaged at last?
01:57Actually, Mary, Mr Hayward and I ended our agreement.
02:03Sorry?
02:04I'm now engaged to Mr Powell, who I met at Mr Ryder's supper.
02:09Oh!
02:11My mother's calling.
02:12Well, someone should tell you.
02:14How is Mr Hayward?
02:19He took the news as well as could be expected.
02:23I cared deeply for Mr Hayward, but we were not a match.
02:27He had, for many years, been trying to advance his career
02:31so that we might be married.
02:33He was taxing on us both.
02:37I'm sorry.
02:39You will see him at the lakes, will you not?
02:43Take care of him for me.
02:46Of course.
02:48I must go.
02:50I will call for you on your return to London.
03:06Poor Tom.
03:08He must be heartbroken.
03:11Oh, yes, he must.
03:21Now while the birds thus sing a joyous song, and while the young lambs bound as to the
03:29tabour's sound, to me alone there came a thought of grief.
03:36Timely utterance gave that thought relief.
03:40And I again am strong.
03:48Did you sleep well, Mary?
03:51I had a dream that mother came to fetch me.
03:54It was quite frightening.
03:56Your mother will not follow you here.
03:58Can we be sure of that?
03:59Mary, your mother hates nature.
04:02And any form of inconvenience.
04:05Yes.
04:05And the Norse more generally.
04:06Indeed.
04:07Look who I found.
04:11Tom, I'm so pleased that you were able to join us.
04:15I'm not interrupting.
04:16No.
04:16Not at all.
04:17We're very pleased to see.
04:18I thought long and hard about what you said.
04:21I said that he works too hard and should enjoy himself occasionally.
04:26How lovely that someone listens to me.
04:29Oh, we all hang on your every word.
04:32Tom, join us.
04:33I've already eaten.
04:34Oh, well, in that case, why don't you two go out and get some fresh air?
04:38Before we head to the lake?
04:41Good idea.
04:42Um...
04:43Yes.
04:50I like this.
04:55Um...
04:59I have something...
05:01It's been air.
05:02I'm sorry, forgive me.
05:04It was nothing.
05:05Please.
05:07Miss Bennet, I wondered if this might be of use to you.
05:12It's Mr Worthworth's guide to the lakes.
05:15Where geography meets poetry.
05:18Oh.
05:23It is most fortunate that you were able to join us.
05:31Ah.
05:35How was your time at Pemberley, Miss Bennet?
05:39Oh, Pemberley was...
05:43...very busy.
05:45I'm pleased to hear that your mother has recovered.
05:48Oh, yes.
05:49My mother was, um...
05:52...very much back to her old self.
05:54That is a good thing, is it not?
05:56Oh, well, no, yes.
05:58But, um...
05:59Well, in her...
06:01...strengthened state.
06:04I think she may be more disappointed in me now than she has ever been.
06:08Well, I'm very surprised to hear that.
06:10Oh, you have not met my sisters, Mr Hayward.
06:14They are, each of them, beautiful and accomplished.
06:18I do not compare well.
06:20As my mother often observes.
06:24Miss Bennet.
06:27I am so sorry that anyone has ever made you feel like a disappointment.
06:46I bumped into Anne Baxter.
06:47On the way here.
06:51At...at the coaching inn.
06:52Quite by chance.
06:55I'm sorry, Mr Hayward.
06:57I...
06:58I understand you must be...
07:01...suffering terribly.
07:05Well, I...
07:16I heard our friend Mr Ryder came to visit you at Pemberley.
07:20Oh.
07:21Well, um, yes, uh...
07:23Mary!
07:23Tom!
07:23We should get going!
07:26Yes.
07:28Oh.
07:30We will speak again.
07:31Yes.
07:32Twice.
07:40I read in my fishing book that we need to find the creases,
07:44where the current meets calmer water.
07:46So now, no.
07:48You're holding the line too tightly.
07:50And you should never have an overfilled spool.
07:53No, just loosen it a little.
07:54Yes.
07:55Forgive me.
07:55No, I can't stop.
07:57Ah.
07:58What's the name of that mountain there?
08:01I believe that is Scarfell.
08:03Mr Wordsworth's sister, Dorothy, climbed Scarfell.
08:05Did she not?
08:06She did.
08:07Said that you can see all the way out to sea from up there.
08:10Oh, how wonderful.
08:13Would you be prepared to attempt climbing it with me?
08:16No.
08:17Really? Do you think we could?
08:18I'd like to.
08:20Are you skilled at physical pursuits, Miss Bennington?
08:22No.
08:22Not in the least.
08:23I think I felt a tug.
08:24I'm...
08:25I'm enthusiastic.
08:26I'll get the net.
08:27Well, that'll do.
08:28Yes.
08:28That and good boots.
08:33What is it?
08:35I hope I didn't speak out of turn when I mentioned Mr Ryder's visit.
08:39Oh, no.
08:40Oh, no.
08:40Not at all.
08:41No.
08:42I really only hope that I didn't speak out of turn by mentioning Miss Baxter.
08:47Oh, no.
08:48Not at all.
08:49Not at all.
08:49Mr Ryder's visit was brief and it was uneventful.
08:52Something is definitely...
08:56Oh.
08:57It's sizeable.
08:58Bring it in slowly.
09:00Just let the rod do the work.
09:02No.
09:02So lift and reel.
09:04So lift and reel.
09:06Lift and reel.
09:07Perhaps this will be your supper for the evening.
09:12I'm not eating that.
09:17It was moving.
09:20It was moving.
09:22It was moving.
09:23It was moving.
09:23It was moving.
09:40No, I cannot show you, Mr Hayward.
09:42My sketches are...
09:43They're an offence to both the lake and to art itself.
09:47Oh.
09:50That is quite a feat, Miss Bennet.
09:54Well, for the sake of lifting your spirits,
09:56I'll show you my own disastrous drawings,
09:58but please tell no-one of what you see.
10:01Do not show me if you're being modest.
10:02I shall feel wretched if yours are actually well drawn.
10:05No, they are not.
10:05And I have to warn you,
10:06it will be impossible for you to ever think of me as a man of feeling
10:09once you've seen these.
10:10I have no artistic talent at all.
10:23Oh.
10:24Oh.
10:26No, these are...
10:28No, these are quite terrible.
10:30I mean, I don't even know what that is.
10:33That?
10:34That is a duck, Miss Bennet.
10:36It has too many legs.
10:40Well, could we say that it is stepping on a plant?
10:42I don't think we could.
10:43No.
10:44No.
10:45No.
10:46Perhaps we would enjoy the view more if we weren't trying to replicate it.
10:49Well, I certainly would.
10:54We could go riding.
10:55Huh?
10:56Do you ride much, Miss Bennet?
10:57No, that's another thing I possess no skill for.
11:00Oh.
11:00At Pemberley, I went riding with Miss...
11:04Um...
11:04With, uh, Mr Ryder.
11:06Oh.
11:08Uh...
11:08Um...
11:10No...
11:10Mr Ryder and I are not engaged.
11:14If that's what you thought.
11:17Oh.
11:18Uh...
11:19In fact, I'm trying to think of, um...
11:23A different future for myself.
11:26I was wondering whether governessing might be possible outside of my family.
11:30I think you would be an excellent governess.
11:34But, Miss Bennet, do you not think that you might perhaps...
11:42Find yourself a match?
11:45Oh.
11:46No.
11:47No.
11:48Mr Hayward, no.
11:49I...
11:49I'm at peace with that.
11:54Do you not think it might be worth you having one last look about?
11:58Just to make sure.
12:00No.
12:01I've learnt my lesson.
12:03Any looking about will only lead to disappointment.
12:09Oh.
12:10Anyway, I'm sure...
12:11I'm sure you do not wish to discuss.
12:15Engagements.
12:18Well, the truth is...
12:18Isn't it a lark...
12:20...that sings?
12:22Mr Hayward?
12:24Oh, perhaps it is a thrush.
12:26No, no.
12:27The lark is more melodic.
12:29The thrush is, um...
12:35Well, I mean, it's sort of more...
12:36It has a variety of sounds, but more like...
12:40Yes.
12:42But they may sing differently up here.
12:45Mm.
12:45In London, they sound like...
12:50And I find the lark is a bit more...
12:57I think...
12:59The lark is quite a difficult one...
13:01...to get right.
13:02It's quite shrill.
13:02Hard on the throat.
13:03Yes, sir.
13:04In truth, the only bird call that I'm entirely confident with...
13:07...is that of the london pigeon.
13:11Amazing!
13:11Thurr!
13:15Thurr!
13:17Thurr!
13:17Thurr!
13:18Thurr!
13:18Thurr!
13:21Come in.
13:27Good evening, Mary.
13:36how have you enjoyed your day very much so
13:44you and mr hayward get along very well
13:50he must surely be quite devastated about ann baxter
13:56if he is he's concealing his heartache quite convincingly he seems in good spirits
14:07i always wondered if they're entirely well suited really i mean i'm sure mr hayward felt that they
14:15were did he goodnight mary

15:22would you read it to me
15:26from where you are
15:42in hours of weariness
15:45sensation sweet
15:47felt in the blood and felt along the heart
15:51and passing even into my purer mind
15:57with tranquil restoration
16:01feelings too of unremembered unremembered pleasure
16:04would you mind could you read on i'd just like to take some notes on that
16:09last bit
16:13i will read on but perhaps you could try not to worry about notes
16:16miss bennett
16:32for i've learned to look on nature
16:36not as in the hour of thoughtless youth
16:40but hearing oftentimes
16:44still sad music of humanity
16:48nor harsh nor grating though of ample power to chasten and subdue
16:54and i have felt
16:59presence that disturbs me with the joy of elevated thoughts
17:09what do you think
17:13yes no um
17:16mr wasworth is
17:18well he's explaining our
17:20connection to nature
17:21and
17:24to all of this
17:27and how that connection
17:30grows
17:31as
17:32we age
17:42yes
17:44i've read this poem a thousand times
17:48sitting here i finally feel its true power
17:56so do i
18:17i have been trying to clarify something miss bennett
18:21i would like you to know that it was something of a relief to end my understanding with miss baxter
18:26we were quite young when we made our agreement
18:30and over that time my feelings had changed
18:33recently i found that they had changed quite significantly
18:36and i hope
18:40i hope that you'd feel the same way
18:47ahoy
18:56what is he doing here
18:58what is he doing here
18:59why is he getting into the water
19:02oh that is absolutely typical of that man
19:05and an impatient and ill thought
19:06mr rider please be careful
19:12oh
19:14what a beautiful day
19:15what are you doing here
19:17what
19:21mr rider please let me
19:22hold you onto the boat
19:26Come on, Hayward.
19:26It's all right.
19:27Come on, Hayward.
19:28It's a little bit harder.
19:29Careful.
19:36Mr Hayward!
19:37I'm fine.
19:38What?
19:39How do you always manage to cause such a scene?
19:42It's quite bracing, isn't it?
19:47Could you help, Miss Bennett?
19:49Yes.
19:50Um, help me out.
19:50Miss Bennett, could you get an oar, please?
19:52Yes, of course.
19:55No, no, that's not quite what happened.
19:59Miss Bennett, could you get the other one?
20:01And hold on to your end.
20:04Yes.
20:12Let go.
20:13The last thing we want is to pull Miss Bennett in.
20:16No, let go.
20:16Let go.
20:17Oh, sorry, yes, of course.
20:22Right.
20:24Well, we'll have to swim back.
20:25Yes, well, we can't leave Miss Bennett here.
20:28No.
20:29Sorry.
20:41I'm afraid you're going to have to put in more effort than that.
20:44This isn't easy.
20:46Yes, well, we wouldn't be in this situation if you'd have waited, I'm sure, like any other gentleman.
20:51Come on.
20:54I think I swallowed the water.
20:56Yes, I'm sure.
20:57Oh, oh.
20:57I think it's fine.
20:57Oh, I'm sure.
20:57Oh, no, no, no.
20:58Oh, no, no, no, no.
21:03Sorry.
21:08Oh, no, no, no.
21:11Oh, no, no, no, no.
21:12Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
21:18Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.
21:26Please forgive me intruding.
21:29I needed legal advice, and when I heard Tom was in the lakes,
21:32well, I could hardly resist.
21:33How lovely to see you, Mr Ryder.
21:36What is this legal matter that simply could not wait?
21:39Oh, it's not urgent. No, let's enjoy ourselves first.
21:43I had not realized I would find such a happy party gathered here.
21:48You two will catch your death. Go and change.
21:52On such a beautiful day, I can barely feel the cold.
22:07Well, that was a much more adventurous day than I'd been imagining.
22:12Yes, it was quite unexpected all round.
22:15I mean, what the Hursts are here?
22:18Greetings from London.
22:21Miss Bennet. Mr Hurst.
22:25What is that smell?
22:27Is this the whole of your party?
22:29Or is...
22:30Louisa, have you seen my silver reticule?
22:35Miss Bingley.
22:36Miss Bingley.
22:38Ryder, why are you undressed?
22:43Well, I have never been anywhere so wet and muddy in all my life.
22:47And what is that smell?
22:48That's what I said.
22:49That's oxygen, Miss Bingley. That is the smell of fresh air.
22:53Miss Bennet.
22:55No one mentioned you were going to be here.
22:59And yet, here I am.
23:02Right, well, we ought to get ourselves settled in these frightfully small rooms.
23:07Louisa?
23:07Mr Hurst?
23:08Right, I will change and meet you all for supper.
23:12By the fire to warm us up.
23:17And also excuse me, Miss Bennet.
23:22Oh, Mary.
23:27So, I know what shall be important to our climb tomorrow.
23:31Other mine.
23:32I've arranged for the guide to meet us here in the morning.
23:35Ah, yes, Mr Gardiner tells us that you are climbing Scarfell tomorrow.
23:40That is true.
23:42Then we shall join you.
23:44You would need to make proper preparations before undertaking such a climb.
23:48Of course.
23:49Mr Hayward would rather confine us to smooth lakes and calm views.
23:52I would just be happy to make it through the day without one of your particular adventures.
23:58What about you, Miss Bingley?
24:00What?
24:00Mrs Hurst, will you join us?
24:02Well, it is a difficult climb.
24:04A most difficult climb.
24:07I have long wished to see the place that birthed such magnificent verses.
24:12A few inconveniences on the way are a small price to pay.
24:17Do you read poetry, Miss Bingley?
24:19I didn't know you cared for it.
24:20It is a passion I share only with my friends.
24:25Tell me, how long will this climb take?
24:28I think I'll tell you.
24:29Well, it depends on our pace.
24:31I think the guide will be able to give us a better estimate.
24:34Mr Ryder, I am a little...
24:36Oh, you're sure of quite.
24:37May I?
24:38Oh, um...
24:51Perhaps you and I might walk together.
24:54Tomorrow.
24:55Away from the crowd.
24:58I'd very much like that.
25:03And at the top of the mountain, we might finish that conversation that we started on the boat.
25:15Tom, shall we discuss provisions for the climb?
25:19Oh, yes.
25:20Good night, Miss Bennet.
25:22Good night.
25:23Uh, excuse me, I just...
25:25Oh.
25:26I don't know that.
25:28Yes?
25:29Miss Bennet.
25:30I have been wanting to speak to you to...
25:34Apologise.
25:35Oh, uh...
25:36For my proposal at Bemberley.
25:39Please think no more of it.
25:41I now see a way in which it is possible for us to have all that and still conform.
25:50I'd hope to see you again in London, but I found you here and that must mean something.
25:59My situation has changed somewhat, and...
26:03Mr. Ryder, we need your knowledge of the mountains to settle an argument.
26:08One moment.
26:11Miss Bennet, the top of Scarfell Pike is the most beautiful place I have ever seen.
26:20Once we get there, I will make amends to you.
26:32I had arrived in the lakes determined to make my own way in the world.
26:38Could it be that once I had firmly accepted I did not wish to marry at all, I had somehow
26:45won the admiration of two dear friends?
