00:00I wish to inform you that my wife and I will be taking up residence in the Vicarage in a
00:05fortnight.
00:06Oh, and one more thing. Eliza's letters.
00:08Am I to understand you already have knowledge of their whereabouts?
00:11Why ever would you think that?
00:13I am to be in print. I want to be a published authorette.
00:19I beg you, if you are offered any means of escape, do not refuse it.
00:24Cassie Austin, I have loved you since the moment that our hands first touched.
00:29What was your answer?
00:30I cannot marry him.
00:32If you and Mr. Litterdale do decide to marry, Beth has been assisting you.
00:36Has she not?
00:37Indeed she has.
00:39Married? Myself and Mr. Litterdale.
00:43Oh, Cassandra, you have the wrong sister.
00:48Oh, my dear.
00:50Oh, my dear.
00:52It's gorgeous.
00:54Nice.
00:59Look how splendid it is.
01:03Please, please, love and go.
01:27It really is much smaller than I imagined, Dundas.
01:30I fear we have too much furniture.
01:32It's nonsense, my dear.
01:34The sideboard will look splendid against this wall,
01:36under the portrait of my late dear father.
01:39But where should we place the pedestal table?
01:41And those windows, so out of proportion for the room.
01:45I confess I've always been of that opinion myself.
01:47How strange you never mentioned it before, Mama.
01:49Well, you must have forgotten, Anna.
01:51Now, Mama, if I recall, you always remarked how fortunate your sister Eliza was
01:54to have the benefit of such a beautiful room.
01:56My dear mother spent many happy hours sitting in the window.
01:59I have far too many children to sit anywhere for hours.
02:03Isabella, I've just seen your sister Beth.
02:06Oh, Beth, forgive me.
02:08I was not aware you were all present.
02:09Miss Austen, what a pleasure to make your acquaintance once more.
02:13It is almost as good as being in the presence of your dear departed sister.
02:17My dear, Miss Austen here was fortunate enough to be sister
02:21to the great lady novelist, Miss Jane Austen.
02:26Imagine!
02:27How splendid for you.
02:30Now, dundas to the curtains, I am concerned ours will not fit those rather large windows.
02:36Now, Mama, we must take our leave.
02:38Mrs. Bunbury is not a woman to be kept waiting.
02:41My dear, I'm sure something could be arranged.
02:43We must change the upholstery.
02:45It's too plain for my taste.
02:50I am deeply sorry, Isabella.
02:52I was not aware of all the facts surrounding your situation.
02:56If I gave you the impression that your sister Beth and Mr. Litterdale were...
02:59You gave me no such impression, Cassandra.
03:02And even if you had done so, it had no consequence.
03:07It is true.
03:09We did have feelings for one another once.
03:13He proposed, and I refused him.
03:17And that is an end to it.
03:19Oh, Isabella, forgive me, but I must ask you something.
03:22Did you refuse him of your own volition, or were you instructed to do so?
03:27My father would not give his permission.
03:32He considered Mr. Litterdale to be beneath us.
03:39Mr. Litterdale's mother was a servant at the big house.
03:45Do you see?
03:48Yes, I see.
03:52Mr. Litterdale has no inheritance to speak of.
03:56He works in the service of the poor.
04:00He is a good man.
04:03Yes, I see that, too.
04:05But he is also a proud man.
04:09I have refused him.
04:13He will not ask again.
04:17I take heart from your example, Cassandra.
04:20You have shown me that a single life lived in the service of others can bring contentment.
04:29Is that not so?
04:31Indeed, my dear.
04:34What is duty, but a kind of love.
04:39I would very much appreciate it if you would pay Mary Jane a visit to settle the matter of our
04:44future lodgings.
04:58In, in!
05:03So it is settled, then.
05:07Isabella and I will live together as our dear departed father so wished.
05:11I would prefer to remain in my house, where I am safe.
05:15Isabella will move in here.
05:17While your home is undoubtedly charming, I fear it cannot accommodate both of you.
05:25Neither of you will be comfortable, sadly.
05:29Hmm.
05:32New lodgings it is, then.
05:35Though we must be mindful not to burden Isabella with an opinion on this matter.
05:39She is at her best when given guidance.
05:41Come now.
05:43Isabella organised the Kintbury move with great efficiency.
05:46Only because you are here.
05:48Well, I sincerely hope you both find comfort and companionship.
05:53I care not for companionship.
05:55That is not the purpose of us living together.
05:58It is to ensure that Isabella does not return to the behaviour that caused our dear father such great upset.
06:07I take it you mean the business with Mr. Lidderdale?
06:11Do not mention that man.
06:12His dalliance with my sister threatened to bring shame upon my father's good name.
06:17I must continue his legacy and protect it still.
06:21I do not think it was a dalliance, Mary Jane.
06:25I believe it to have been love.
06:28Do not be ridiculous.
06:31Isabella's head was turned because he paid her a little attention.
06:35I will begin preparations for removals immediately.
06:39All my possessions must come with me.
06:41All of them?
06:42Yes, all of them.
06:44They are my late husband's treasures.
06:47I brought them back from India.
06:48They are a reminder of my happiest times.
06:52Let it be known.
06:54I am only doing this for my father.
06:57Out of duty.
07:11Mum.
07:13Dinah, it seems Miss Isabella is to be settled with Mrs. Mary Jane Dexter.
07:19So there is no further need for me to remain here.
07:22It seems I have outstayed my welcome long enough.
07:25I'll pack your belongings at once, Mum.
07:27No, thank you.
07:28I will pack my own trunk.
07:30Very well, Mum, if you insist.
07:31Yes, Dinah, I do.
07:33Look at all the questions.
07:33Look.
07:58Let's go.
08:02Let's go.
08:30Let's go.
09:05Mama, the time has come for us to discuss our business.
09:09Yes, our business.
09:13Your sister?
09:21Thank you for getting up, my darling. I promise this will not take long.
09:36So, now that we can no longer rely on Father's income and annuity, that has left a little deficit in
09:41our finances.
09:43But, Mother, I am pleased to say that your sons have risen to the occasion.
09:49Frank has insisted on offering us Ā£100 per annum.
09:53Oh, that magnificent boy.
09:56But I'm sorry, we cannot accept.
09:59He will be married soon and he cannot afford to waste that on us.
10:04It's enough to know that he offered.
10:06How proud your father would be.
10:09I agree, Mama.
10:10But his generosity has been matched by James and Edward.
10:14It has now been arranged that Frank and James will give Ā£50 each and Edward another Ā£100.
10:21Mercy me.
10:23Was there ever such excellent sense?
10:26Wait.
10:27Am I to understand that Frank, the hard-working sailor with no home of his own, fast offered Ā£100,
10:33but Edward Austin of the Godmisham estate in Kent offered the same amount and no more?
10:38Yes, they are also generous.
10:41We will have to take smaller and cheaper lodgings, of course,
10:44but if we are to visit friends and family in the summer months, that will not be so bad.
10:48So that gives us a total of Ā£200, to which we can add to the yield of our own money.
10:53Which I contribute nothing.
10:56What a farthing.
10:57What a wretched creature I am.
11:05You are our great strength, Cassie.
11:08As your father knew you would be.
11:11We will manage quite handsomely, I'm sure.
11:30What can I do for you?
11:32Nothing.
11:35There is nothing anyone can do to help a woman who has been on this earth for 30 years and
11:40has nothing to show for it.
11:42Any writer has known disappointment at some stage, Jane.
11:47You sold Susan to Mr. Crosby.
11:50Those Ā£10 were earned, my dearest.
11:52They were not the profit of some legacy.
11:54And we both know that same Mr. Crosby never published it.
11:58I must face the fact that nothing will ever come of my writing now.
12:02Oh, Jane.
12:03You protected me for so long.
12:05You allowed me to be alone in my head, and I thank you for that.
12:10I had opportunities.
12:12I squandered them.
12:15Allow me to grieve for that on Papa both.
12:25Isabella, if I may, there is no garden.
12:28We have no need of a garden.
12:30I never go outside.
12:31If I could help it.
12:33You may not marry Jane, but I do.
12:36And if we are to live together, we must both be satisfied.
12:40Cassandra is correct.
12:41There must be a garden.
12:46You are here to assist me, Cassandra.
12:56Our search for affordable accommodation has brought us back to the county of Hampshire, Eliza.
13:02Southampton seems an agreeable enough place.
13:05And we will make the best of it.
13:12My only real concern is for Jane.
13:15She finds change very difficult, which is unfortunate, as change comes at us so often and without the courtesy of
13:22warning.
13:23I fear she may be on the brink of another bout of melancholy.
13:29Are we not blessed to have this on our doorstep?
13:32We are indeed blessed.
13:38We shall find better lodgings, Jane.
13:42And in a few months, when our sister-in-law is out of her latest confinement, we shall pay a
13:46visit to Godmisham.
13:48The grounds alone shall cheer you.
13:51You are my Lizzie Bennet to the root.
13:53One glimpse of beautiful grounds and everything changes.
13:56You've forgotten me comparing me to Lizzie Bennet, my dear.
14:02Perhaps you will write something when you are there.
14:09All of that is behind me now.
14:16I suppose I could make something of the garden.
14:19Perhaps.
14:21But do you not think it might be a little small for two people, Isabella?
14:26Where would you teach?
14:27Teach?
14:28Why would you want to teach?
14:30Isabella must continue her teaching, Mary Jane.
14:33It would be a misfortune for her pupils to be denied her.
14:37You are right, Cassandra.
14:39I must do that, if nothing else.
15:10But it'd help if I read some of the books.
15:11of the pages out loud so you can hear how good they are i'm desperate to know if colonel brandon
15:16and marianne are to be married i'm afraid their fate must remain unknown to the entire world

18:35you
18:59The most dreadful news reached us last night, Eliza.
19:04Our brother Edward's wife, Elizabeth Austin, died from a seizure during her latest confinement.
19:11Gobmisham has been plunged into darkness. Cassie is travelling there as I write.
19:17Those poor children and dear, dear Edward, their loss is unimaginable.
19:36Brother, can I get you anything?
19:38No, thank you. Nothing.
19:42I will see to the children then.
19:50Cassie, the children and I would like it very much...
19:57if you were to come and live with us.
20:00Oh, Edward.
20:04I feel for you all so deeply.
20:07And I will do anything in my power to help you, but...
20:12I cannot live with you.
20:15My place is with Jane and our mother. My first duty is to them.
20:21Of course.
20:23I... I... I do see that.
20:33I...
20:40Do you still plan to visit children from time to time?
20:43I do.
20:45I think it'll be good for the children.
20:47And...
20:48as Mama has always said, Hampshire is the king of counties.
20:52Well, then perhaps I could make a suggestion that might help all of us.
20:55You, the children, Mama and Jane.
20:58Pray tell.
21:01That...
21:01small cottage in children.
21:03The one opposite the duck pond.
21:04It is close to the great house, is it not?
21:07If we were to live there...
21:09Well, then when you and the children are in residence there, we...
21:12we would see much of you.
21:15Clever Cassie.
21:18That is by far the best solution.
21:20For all of us.
21:25What a generous brother you are.
21:50What a generous brother you are.
21:53It is perfection.
21:58Dale.
22:07That little desk is just...
22:10sitting there waiting for you to use it.
22:12All those manuscripts you've been carrying around for so long could finally come out of hiding.
22:22What is there to stop you now?
22:25It is over.
22:27The worst is behind us.
22:36The house is quite charming, is it not?
22:39And the garden is a perfect size to manage.
22:42I thought the house to be far too bright.
22:44We would need extremely heavy drapes.
22:47The sun is very damaging, both to your person and to your belongings.
22:51I know this, having lived under it for so long.
22:53I am sure the drapes would be no hardship.
22:55And we would not need them in all rooms.
22:58Particularly not in that delightful little room, which would be perfect for teaching my pupils.
23:02Isabella, we are yet to agree on this matter.
23:04I do not like the idea of strangers coming to our house.
23:07They are not strangers, Mary Jane.
23:09Not me.
23:11But then, we will need stronger bolts.
23:15We will finalize a lease tomorrow.
23:20Isabella, are you sure you are quite happy about all of this?
23:26It will be fine, Cassandra.
23:29As long as I have my teaching and my garden.
23:33And as long as I cannot see the vicarage from any window.
23:49Ladies.
23:50Mr. Lidderdale.
23:52How are you both?
23:54Well, I trust.
23:55Quite well, thank you.
24:00We have been to view a cottage, have we not, Isabella?
24:03Yes.
24:04We have.
24:05For yourself, Miss Fowl?
24:07Yes.
24:08For me.
24:09And my sister, Mrs. Mary Jane Dexter.
24:12Then I sincerely hope this arrangement will suit you well.
24:17I hope so, too.
24:20It is quite the prettiest of cottages, is it not, Isabella?
24:24It is.
24:25Very pretty.
24:27I have a new situation also.
24:30I have been offered the position of surgeon at Schulber.
24:35I will be leaving within the month.
24:46I wish you well.
24:50And I you.
24:55Come, Cassandra.
24:56We still have a great deal to do at the vicarage.
25:00Goodbye, Mr. Lidderdale.
25:16Dana, my sister and I have found a house.
25:18It will suit us well.
25:20There is a room for you, so your future is also assured.
25:24Though you are not beholden to us.
25:26So if by a chance a young gentleman should...
25:30Cassandra, I would like it very much in need if we could finish reading persuasion now.
25:36It would be a fitting end to your visit.
25:50There was too much wind to make the high part of the new cob pleasant for the ladies, and they
25:55agreed to get down the steps to the lower.
25:58All were content to pass quietly and carefully down the steep flight, excepting Louisa.
26:04She must be jumped down by Captain Wentworth.
26:08The hardness of the pavement on her feet made him less willing upon the present occasion.
26:13He did it, however.
26:14She was safely down and instantly ran up the steps to be jumped down again.
26:20He advised her against it.
26:23Thought the jar too great, but he reasoned and talked in vain.
26:26She smiled and said,
26:28I am determined I will.
26:31I am determined I will.
26:33He put out his hands.
26:36Louisa was too precipitate.
26:39She fell on the pavement on the lower cob and was taken up.
26:43Lifeless.
26:45You have killed her!
26:48There was no wound, no blood, no visible bruise.
26:53But her eyes were closed and she breathed not.
26:57Her face was like death, the horror of the moment to all who stood around.
27:03She is dead!
27:05She is dead!
27:06Screamed Mary.
27:07How could Jane have done this to her, to us?
27:10Read on, I beg you.
27:11Is there no one to help me?
27:13Were the first words which burst from Captain Wentworth in a tone of despair,
27:19as if all his strength were gone.
27:21Would somebody help him, please?
27:23Rub her hands, rub her temples, cried Anne.
27:27Here, here are the salts.
27:29Take them.
27:29Yes, the salts.
27:31Take the salts.
27:33Captain Benwick obeyed.
27:36Captain Wentworth, staggering against the wall for his support,
27:39exclaimed in the bitterest agony.
27:42Oh, God.
27:44Her father and her mother.
27:46A surgeon, said Anne.
27:48A surgeon this instant.
27:51A surgeon.
27:52A surgeon.
27:54A surgeon.
27:57A surgeon.
28:03I can't...
28:05You are.
28:09She fell.
28:28She must have fainted.
28:30Oh, tripped.
28:32There's barely a pulse.
28:34Dinah?
28:35Dinah, stay with us.
28:36Dinah?
28:37Isabella.
28:37Isabella.
28:38I fear she may have sustained serious injuries.
28:40Go.
28:40Go and fetch Mr. Litterdale at once.
28:42Go.
28:43Isabella.
28:49Mr. Litterdale!
28:52Mr. Litterdale!
28:55Mr. Litterdale!
28:57There has been the most terrible accident.
28:59Mr. Litterdale!
29:01Oh?
29:16E Miriam.
29:19Mr. Litter.
29:22Me and meet the circumstances.
29:22Mr. Litter, O encanta.
29:26Mr. Litter, Oina!

39:00Winchester seems quite a pretty town.
39:07You must try to rest my darling.
39:10I have the doctor's address. I will hurry there now.
39:13No, I do not want him.
39:15He promises an improvement. We must try everything.
39:18No more, Cass. I'm tired.
39:21I want to go home to Chawton.
39:26But it's too late, is it not?
39:37Cass.
39:40What is it? What do you need?
39:42You're exhausted.
39:44I'm fine.
39:49Do not be upset, but...
39:53Mary Austin is on her way.
39:56So be it.
40:12I came as soon as I could.
40:15I'll sit with her now. You must rest.
40:19Go. If anything changes, I will call for you. At once.
40:25I will not go without you.
40:34Mary, come sit with me.
40:49Oh, we can never beat you at cards. You were always too clever.
40:58Too clever by half.
40:59And then you would play the preludes for us.
41:03You were gifted in so many ways, Jane.
41:07But then my beloved James would delight us with his poetry.
41:12Yes, he would.
41:16Jane.
41:21It's a chubby times.
41:41Has she gone?
41:42She has.
41:48It was touching to see you both so cheerful together.
41:52Disaster often brings out the best in Mary.
41:55It's success that disturbs her good nature.
42:00She pities me now even more than she wants it.
42:05And there I was, the happiest woman in England.
42:09But she could only see tragedy.
42:14Do you think others saw me the way Mary did?
42:19As a joyless creature?
42:25It doesn't matter what other people think.
42:27It matters.
42:30It matters to me.
42:33I do not want the world to know of my sadness.
42:37Only of the joy in my stories.
42:47Tell me what it is that you want.
42:51Nothing but death.
42:56It will not be long now, my darling.
43:04Till you will be at peace.
43:23Jane Austen.
43:25Jane Austen.
43:28You have been the best.
43:34Most loyal, most loving, most gifted sister.
43:48And I, Cassie Austen.
43:52I've been the most blessed, sister, to have loved you.
44:18I've been the most blessed, sister, to have loved you.
44:23I've been the most blessed.
44:25I've been the best.
44:28Love you.
44:32I don't know.
45:03I don't know.
45:40I trust I am not intruding, my dear.
45:43I am delighted to see you so overjoyed.
45:47I assume Mr. Lidderdale has proposed.
45:51Yes.
45:52Yes, he has.
45:54And I have accepted gratefully and with my whole heart.
45:58Thank you for insisting I fetch him.
46:01Thank Dinah for giving me calls.
46:04And dear Jane for the inspiration.
46:12I think we have sufficient calls for celebration, do we not?
46:17Besides, I am sure the new vicar and his wife will have no use for these.
46:30Well, I shall miss you both.
46:33But I will also be pleased to sleep in my own bed.
46:37Smith, where are you all?
46:39Ma'am, I found this lying around.
46:42I wouldn't want it falling into the wrong hands, so you might as well have it.
46:45I can't read anyway, so it's no use to me.
46:49Thank you, Dinah.
46:52Well, here's the thing.
46:54Once again, you intend to travel without the courtesy of informing your only remaining sister.
46:59What on earth?
47:00Get up at once.
47:03Isabella, what a good thing I came back.
47:05We'd never be ready by tomorrow.
47:06A blessing indeed, Aunt Mary.
47:09Aunt Mary, on the matter of Eliza's letters,
47:14perhaps you could look in the settle in her room.
47:16It was the only place I didn't manage to search.
47:20If I recall, Eliza tied Jane's letters in a blue ribbon.
47:27Very well, I shall do that now.
47:30Come along, Isabella.
47:32That unspeakable man, Dundas, will be upon us before we know it.
47:36And Cassandra will forgive us for leaving her to wait for her coach alone.
47:41You are forgiven.
47:46Goodbye, my dear.
47:48Staying here once more has meant a great deal.
47:54Be sure to take two of the very best sets of China to your new room.
47:58No one will ever notice.
48:01There, there, there, there.
48:03Let's not fuss too much.
48:05The best farewells are the short ones.
48:07Dinah.
48:10Mum, look after yourself.
48:13And don't be going out in the rain.
48:19So, this will be the last time you and I meet in this house.
48:23We've had so much history here, and now it will be lost.
48:27Our history will be safe in our memories.
48:31All we can do is pass them on to those who come after us.
48:35With as much honesty as we can muster.
48:39As if anyone is interested in us women.
48:44I will, then.
48:50Sister.
48:53I will, then.
49:02Sister.
49:08I will, then.
49:24Let's go.
50:01Let's go.
50:25Let's go.
50:54Let's go.
51:02Let's go.
51:44Let's go.
51:47Let's go.
52:17Let's go.
52:19Let's go.
52:21Let's go.
52:23Let's go.
52:36Let's go.
