Short filmTranscript
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.
00:59We have bad tidings to make that period.
01:14We have bad tidings to make that period.
01:14We have bad tidings to make that period.
01:17There is no-
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.
01:59I 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.
02:17Diana says you've made a start on clearing my dear sister's room.
02:19You know I wish to help.
02:21Did you find any letters from Jane?
02:23Not a single one.
02:26How odd.
02:28Considering how often Jane wrote, no matter.
02:31I find them myself.
02:33Perhaps you will be lucky where I was not.
02:38Ma'am, Mrs Austin, do you wish me to make up Mrs Fell's room for you?
02:42Yes, yes, do it at once, so 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 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, Dinah.
03:14As soon as you're ready.
03:17There's too much to do.
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 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.
04:47I have loved it.
04:54I have loved it.
05:23What does that say?
05:25It says Eliza.
05:42Eliza.
05:46Eliza.
05:49Eliza.
06:01Eliza.
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, the fear of burdening
06:39us with her sorrow, but 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
07:11from her melancholy.
07:16It 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
07:47my welcome. While 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.
08:14Considering, um, I do hope your journey was a pleasant one.
08:17If, if, if anything can be pleasant at such a, a time.
08:30I 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.
08:40They are the perfect tonic to stave off sad.
08:42I cannot wait to see them.
08:44Stand still, no fidgeting.
08:45Say hello, children. Look who's here.
08:47Look who's here. Who is it?
08:48Oh, Cassie.
08:50Look how you've all grown.
08:53Look who is it.
08:56Hello.
08:57There you are.
09:02I told you, Cass, fit to burst.
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.
09:24Mom.
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.
09:49Are you expected?
09:51Mrs. Mary Jane Dexter is not one for a surprise visit.
09:54I am 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 we know?
10:29Who is it?
10:31Mrs. Dexter?
10:33Mary Jane, it's me, Cassandra Austin.
10:36I've come to call on you.
10:42That's him, then.
10:49You can never be too careful.
10:53Come into the parlour.
11:04What interesting objects.
11:07What you see here are the joys of the empire.
11:11Halcyon days.
11:15Halcyon.
11:18Now, sit down.
11:26Isabella been looking after you, has she?
11:28Oh, yes, impeccably.
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,
11:44so it's a good thing she's come to live with me.
11:46So it's settled, then?
11:49Of course it's settled.
11:50Isn't that why you're here, to make sure?
11:53Yes, it's just that Isabella doesn't seem to know this.
11:57What you have to know about my sister is this.
12:00She thinks she knows her own mind.
12:03But she doesn't.
12:08Tiffin?
12:10Ah.
12:24Miss Fowl.
12:25Miss de Lidderdale.
12:27I must offer you my apologies.
12:29I have been tardy in calling to inquire how you are faring since...
12:33I am perfectly well, thank you.
12:35In truth, I have been busy preparing the vicarage for the new vicar.
12:40I am sure that must be a most difficult task.
12:45Have you secured...
12:48new 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...
12:59insecurity.
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.
13:22I have an errand to run.
13:23Dearest 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, and a great deal more about
13:38spillikins with the tiny inhabitants of the nursery.
13:49Oh, Elizabeth, there you are.
13:51Well, I 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.
14:01Besides, I cannot play that game for my life.
14:06Oh, look how they adore you.
14:10I 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 now, Cassie.
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, and she would not be happy if a horse has taken
15:00precedence.
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, but 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.
15:54Write 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 that her life's sole value lies in the role of dependable
16:12spinster aunt.
16:15Please write as soon as you are able.
16:17I have an inkling that our intervention will be a relief to her.
16:42Hush now.
16:43The baby will be here soon.
16:45Hush now.
16:46Hush.
16:48She needs laudanum.
17:04Eliza?
17:05She's sleeping, fella.
17:07She's exhausted.
17:09Do you have a girl?
17:11Her sweetest, most beloved little girl.
17:16Another girl.
17:30My dearest Eliza, we are delighted to hear you are safely delivered and baby Isabella is thriving.
17:46Isabella is a splendid name.
17:48She can only grow up to be a heroine or a Spanish queen, though I would not wish that fate
17:54upon her.
17:54No, her adventures will be magnificent and 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.
18:14She's sleeping, baby.
18:41She's sleeping, baby.
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.
19:02One times eight is...
19:05Eight.
19:05Indeed.
19:07Two 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.
19:38Hmm.
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.
20:04Uh, 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 plaster of his arms.
20:18It seems to be a deck and aops.
20:31Thanks.
20:38Look at that!
20:39Oh!
20:42Come on!
20:44We'll be ŃНодŃŃŃ ways.
20:45Now we're having Grace!
20:46Thank you!
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 Austen, 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.
23:31Come on.
23:32Come on.
23:33Come on.
23:36Come on.
23:37Come on.
23:37Come on.
23:37Come on.
23:38Come on.
23:39Come on.
23:40Come on.
23:40Come on.
23:40Come on.
23:49Is that the only tiling we have?
23:51We have packed the rest on, Mary.
23:53At your instruction.
23:54Oh, well.
23:55I 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 legs should be more raised.
24:14More raised?
24:15Yes.
24:17And a blanket, perhaps.
24:26Yes.
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.
25:02I'm just lost in a hot bath.
25:03We don't want her getting sick.
25:11Beth Fowl has been nothing but a trial for this family, fraternising with certain elements
25:18of 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, if you'll go, go, go, take your bath.
25:35I'll rest some more and then I can set about taking charge.
25:39This family needs a firmer hand.
26:09I'll rest some more and then I'll rest some more and then I'll rest some more.
26:10Miss Fortune!
26:17Miss Fortune!
26:25Oh, so 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.
27:02The Austens of Hampshire are embarking on the first of their great holiday schemes.
27:07You'll hardly recognise us when we return.
27:10Isabella will have grown so much by then.
27:14It is brother James.
27:16And sister Mary.
27:18They've arrived.
27:19How lovely.
27:30Where's Anna?
27:33Anna.
27:38Anna.
27:41Anna.
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?
28:14Well, you will soon know.
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.
28:30Anna.
28:39My dear Isabella, please try to pull yourself together.
28:43Mary.
28:45Mary, she has just lost her father.
28:46I am aware.
28:47And it is sad.
28:49But 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.
29:04Isabella.
29:05Perhaps 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.
29:23Perhaps 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.
29:33Anne Elliot is a most interesting character.
29:38A pleasant sort of person.
29:41Sensible.
29:43Not much drama about her.
29:46And I am most keen to hear the ending of her story before I am evicted from this house.
29:51Will 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?
30:05It is.
30:07Oh, Isabella.
30:09There are so many other ways for women like us to find happiness.
30:15Are there?
30:17Read on.
30:18Please, Cassandra.
30:20From this time, Captain Wentworth and Anne Elliot were repeatedly in the same circle.
30:29Well, 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 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.
30:57Please 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.
31:10But 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?
31:30Rivalry?
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.
32:13Your 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 wonderings.
32:35No, no, I can manage.
32:41Good night.

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
38:05we have every chance of discovering treasures amongst these rocks
38:09good 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
38:19unearth hidden treasures from the past
38:21well she has come to the right place
38:24ladies
38:25i'm not a lady of bar too young
38:27my apologies
38:30now you are a serious fossil hunter
38:32are you not
38:33i am
38:34well i've already found some excellent specimens that you might be interested in
38:37let me furnish you with the tools of the trade
38:40thank you
38:41we are blessed to have such an expert with us
38:44ah no expert
38:45more of an enthusiastic amateur
38:58do you think i'll find a sea monster mr hobday
39:03perhaps not a monster but a sea creature
39:06certainly
39:07some sea creatures fossils are found at the top of mountains
39:10isn't that so
39:11you see many years ago
39:12the earth was almost completely covered by water
39:15and then over time those waters receded
39:18to reveal the land beneath
39:28do you think i can't find a sea creature in it
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
39:59many thousand even
40:01that is evidence of a creature that lived on earth even before man
40:06what are you drawing my dear
40:07my daughter is an artist of considerable talent
40:10papa
40:11oh look she's captured your likeness brilliantly
40:14may i see
40:16it is but a sketch
40:19now young lady
40:21let us leave mr hobday in peace
40:27mr hobday is so clever aunt jane
40:29is he now
40:30he knows everything
40:32does he know
40:33aunt cassie drew a sketch of him
40:36did she now
40:37she did and it was quite the likeness
40:40not just of him
40:42i drew all three of them
40:43while 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
40:52he struck me as unusually gifted in all that is agreeable
40:58and now cassie pray tell me
41:01do 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
41:17he 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 i have a chapter i must finish
41:47well what if he's there
41:49what if he was there
41:50mr hobday
41:53you
41:55you might find him to your liking
41:57i won't find him to my liking
42:19one moment
42:23how is your headache
42:25you retired rather abruptly and i thought i'd look in on you
42:31was it something i said
42:33no
42:33no not at all
42:35i can't even remember what we were talking about
42:38how is eliza's room
42:40cold
42:41this house is like the grave now
42:46well good night good night
42:47sleep well my dear
43:01oh mrs austin i do sympathize
43:04i'm here for the sea air
43:05but this wretched body of mine has not let me outdoors all week
43:09how awful
43:10well i was struck down by biliousness the minute we arrived
43:16it'll be her evacuations next
43:18perhaps 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
43:27four years ago
43:29i'm sorry to hear that
43:32what did he ail from
43:35a tumour
43:36a tumour
43:37we saw the best of men
43:39but 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
43:55and he reads to me every night
43:57perhaps that shall be our next book
43:59your son enjoys the works of the madame bernie 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
44:21well you did say he was perfect
44:24i'm not sure how my constitution would take
44:26that curate was
44:32he was handsome enough and single from what i hear
44:35but his sermon was a touch
44:38terrifying mamma
44:40mrs austin
44:42oh well this is a coincidence
44:44and i must say the happiest one
44:48mr hobday mrs hobday mrs hobday
44:51mrs austin
44:52how did you find the sermon today sir
44:54oh 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
45:06will 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 that sermon was not to our taste
45:16it was vulgar and excessive
45:17what did you think mr hobday
45:19jane
45:19you cannot ask mr hobday of his opinion when 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
45:32well luckily i agree most comprehensively with miss austin
45:36it was not to my taste either
45:37how will you all find these signals
45:39oh
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 single-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
46:03no you were frightful
46:05as 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
46:17i think i'd say more of a third
46:22and he's certainly not my mr hobday
46:23really then you have not noticed the way he looks at you
46:26nonsense he ignores me at every opportunity
46:29he pays everyone else far more attention papa anna you
46:33precisely and 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 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
46:54oh you do my darling and that you are unaware of them makes 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 i have no possible interest in mr hobday
47:16where are you going to write

51:41Miss Austen?
51:43Miss Austen?
51:44God save us, don't tell us she's got a date on this.
51:47Cassandra?
51:48Isabella?
51:48Cassandra, it's me.
51:50Isabella?
51:50Is she all right?
51:51She's burning up.
51:53We should send from Mr Litterdale.
51:56Miss Isabella?
51:57Mr Litterdale is too busy.
51:59We'll nurse her ourselves.
52:00Miss 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.
52:21Am 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'm not to be a published authorette.
52:47I am you.
52:48I am to be satu men.
53:04I am the viewer.
53:13I am to be with you today.
53:17I am to be right to like this hair.
