TVTranscript
00:23Three times I had written to Mr. Hayward, and each time the letter was returned, marked
00:29forwarding address unknown.
00:33There was so much that I wished to say to him, but it was not to be.
00:41No matter, I would not wallow.
00:43I had navigated difficulty before, and I would use my experiences to find my place in London
00:49and prove I could build a life here, not only to myself, but also to...
00:57Mama.
00:58Here she is.
01:00I didn't know you were...
01:02Sorry, what are you doing here?
01:04Your mother has come to stay.
01:06For a short time.
01:08Lizzie's physician advised I come to London to see Dr. Simmons, who is a great authority
01:13on nervous complaints.
01:16Well, sit.
01:21Mr. Darcy has been most insistent, urging me to think of myself and not hurry back to Pemberley.
01:28Until I have been properly attended to.
01:33Now, Mary, I have decided to forgive your actions at Pemberley and to offer you my assistance one last time.
01:40While I am here, I intend to finish what I began and find suitable matches for all my daughters.
01:50Oh, please, Mama, really.
01:53Four out of five must be considered a great triumph.
01:56A great triumph, indeed.
01:57Mary has plenty in London to occupy her time.
02:00There is no better use of Mary's time than finding a match.
02:04Oh, please, Mother, really.
02:06I'm very happy, as I am.
02:08I understand your shame, Mary, in the way that you have behaved towards me.
02:14But nevertheless, you cannot override my natural kindness and my motherly instinct.
02:20I have arranged for you to meet several suitors.
02:47Is it too much to ask you to make even the slightest effort with just one of these gentlemen?
02:51Mary has made good connections.
02:54Oh, and do good connections provide for you for the rest of your life?
02:58And she is welcome here.
02:59Oh, yes.
03:00For now.
03:01For as long as she wants.
03:02Enter.
03:07A visitor for Miss Bennet.
03:10Mr. Ryder is here.
03:12Mr. Ryder?
03:14Well, show him in.
03:17Please show him in.
03:30Mr. Ryder, how wonderful to see you.
03:34Mrs. Bennet.
03:35Mrs. Gardiner.
03:37Miss Bennet.
03:40And to what do we owe the pleasure of your visit?
03:43Yes, excuse me dropping in unannounced.
03:46I wondered whether I might speak with Miss Bennet.
03:51Of course.
03:54In private.
04:00Miss Bennet, I'm most relieved to see you looking so well after.
04:06Yeah, yeah.
04:08I was sorry not to be able to say goodbye to you at the Lakes.
04:12Once I knew you were being taken care of, I felt it my duty to accompany Miss Bingley back to
04:16London to see a physician.
04:18I understand.
04:19But I was kept informed of your recovery.
04:29Miss Bennet, I wanted to sincerely apologize for what happened.
04:37Oh, I played my own part in proceedings.
04:40No, no.
04:40I was entirely to blame.
04:43I put you and Miss Bingley in grave danger.
04:46I'm full of regret.
04:48Oh, really?
04:48I think no more of it, though it did not end well.
04:53Overall, I look back at my time in the Lakes very fondly.
04:59It was never my intention to intrude on your time there, but I needed Mr. Hayward's help.
05:07You see, Lady Catherine de Burr unexpectedly named me as her heir.
05:15Oh.
05:19I informed Mr. Hayward of my change in fortune and told him of my intention to propose to you that
05:27very afternoon.
05:32I see.
05:34He knew what I could offer you and he gave me his blessing.
05:43He did?
05:45Miss Bennet, I wanted to renew our conversation from the Lakes.
05:53Of course.
05:54Of course, Mr. Ryder.
05:57Please, please sit.
06:15I've never met anyone that makes me think like you do, who makes me see the world as you do.
06:25I've certainly never met anyone who speaks as plainly as you, and I admire that greatly.
06:31He's very kind.
06:34Although there is something of a gulf between my ideals and the world we live in.
06:43I like to think that you and I could carve out an interesting existence.
06:51Together.
06:55I shall now do what I should have done weeks ago and ask...
07:05Miss Bennet.
07:12Would you consider accepting my hand in marriage?
07:29Mr. Ryder.
07:32My answer must, of course, be...
07:42...that I do not love you.
07:50Could it be that you might grow to love me?
07:58Not in the way that you deserve to be loved.
08:07Your friendship has taught me so much about myself, and for that I should always be grateful.
08:16But I don't believe I would ever have made you happy.
08:26You should follow your heart. Go to Italy and seize everything it has to offer.
08:35I see.
08:39You will find happiness, Mr. Ryder. True happiness. I do not doubt it.
08:56No.
09:00It was a pleasure to see you looking so well.
09:07It was a pleasure to see you looking so... dry.
09:18Goodbye, Miss Bennett.
09:23Why?
09:31No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
09:33Mother.
09:35I should leave.
09:36No, please. Stay there.
09:38Mother!
09:40Mr. Ryder, you may go.
09:49What have you done?
09:51Oh, I need some air.
09:53Mary!
09:56Mary!
09:59Mary!
10:01Oh, I need some air.
10:04Hi, I need some air.
10:19Mr. Sparrow.
10:30Is everything quite all right?
10:32No, yes, the city smoke is particularly heavy today
10:35and it just seems sad about...
10:39May I?
11:03I hope they are still serving you well.
11:07They really are.
11:09Tell me, what brings you to London?
11:12I graduated from Moorfields two weeks ago.
11:16You're a doctor.
11:18Just as you said you would be.
11:23Congratulations, Mr Sparrow.
11:26I always thought you'd end up studying somewhere, somehow.
11:29I would like to be a governess.
11:32To an older girl, perhaps.
11:35I think I'd enjoy teaching petrology and geology and...
11:38Your specialism.
11:39Perhaps one day you could tutor my daughter.
11:42You have a child.
11:44She is one.
11:48Then perhaps I will, I guess.
11:51No, I've not really looked too far into it as yet.
11:56I think my mother will not approve.
12:03If I remember rightly,
12:05you and your mother always had very different ideas about life.
12:09About reading.
12:10About the wearing of spectacles.
12:14And about potential matches.
12:22If I may be so bold.
12:24If you have always struggled to please your mother,
12:28why do you keep trying?
12:31As long as you know what you want,
12:33perhaps it is time to stop worrying what she thinks.
12:39That our happiness is in our own hands.
12:43Absolutely.
12:45I truly believe it is.
12:49It has been a pleasure to see you again.
12:52We must be getting back.
12:59Goodbye, Mr. Sparrow.
13:01I'm very, very glad to have run into you today.
13:05I'm very, very glad to haunt.
13:14Mrs. Sparrow.
13:15Mrs. Sparrow.
13:15Mrs. Sparrow.
13:26Mary.
13:28What on earth are you thinking?
13:30Mother, I'm sorry to disappoint you, again, but I will not be marrying Mr Ryder.
13:37Nonsense. Call him back and tell him you were mistaken.
13:40No, I will not do that.
13:42Have you no consideration for my nerves?
13:46I've never wanted to cause you any trouble.
13:49You have caused me nothing but trouble since the day you were born.
13:54Yes, I'm aware that is so.
13:57I am trying to help you.
14:00I do not want you to be looked down upon.
14:06Looked down upon? By whom?
14:14Mary, please, call Mr Ryder back and accept his offer.
14:19I do not love him. Mama, I've not waited all this time just to marry a man I do not
14:24love.
14:25You would have once agreed to marry Mr Collins. Did you love him?
14:29No, I didn't. No. At the time, I thought I was helping our family remain at Longmore.
14:35And now there is a handsome, wealthy man willing to overlook your shortcomings and you have turned him away.
14:42Because I have changed.
14:43We'll change back again.
14:49Charlotte once told me that my options were marriage or misery.
14:56But I have seen many miserable marriages.
15:02And meanwhile, I've experienced much joy in life on my own.
15:08What will you do without a husband? How will you survive?
15:13I will work as a governess.
15:15Outside the families?
15:16Yes. I will take on an older pupil and I will teach a more nuanced, detailed education, working to a
15:22higher level on a specific setting.
15:24Why do you insist on torturing me?
15:35It has always been my intention to please you.
15:40I am very sad that I have never been able to make you proud of me.
15:47Yet I was never able to match my sisters in your esteem.
15:54I am sorry.
15:57You have no idea what it has been like for me.
16:02I had five daughters. Five daughters.
16:05All of whom I knew must marry well in order to survive.
16:09And there was nobody to make that happen except me.
16:14Your father never had to think about it.
16:18And he never raised a finger to help.
16:22In fact, any attempts I made to discuss your futures seemed only to rile him.
16:31I was quite alone.
16:39You and I always have been very different creatures.
16:46And it is likely we all shall be.
16:51It doesn't seem fair that you weren't helped in your efforts.
16:57But you did it.
17:02We are all settled in our different ways.
17:06I have chosen my path.
17:09And I am happy with it.
17:16I did not want you to be left behind.
17:31Goodbye, Mother.
17:53Send our love to Lizzie.
17:58Goodbye, Jane.
18:00Goodbye, Jane.
18:19Mary, I have to say, I don't think I've ever seen anyone stand up to your mother as successfully as
18:24you did.
18:25Really?
18:25It was very impressive.
18:32I don't mind that I'll never marry.
18:38I've only said that without a home of my own, I shall never get to choose my own wallpaper.
18:46You can always choose some for your room, Mary, if you like.
18:52Do you think I've done the wrong thing in not marrying Mr. Ryder?
18:59Not at all, Mary.
19:02I've learned a great deal from him.
19:05He's a man that finds joy in life and there's much to be admired about him.
19:10But you do not love him.
19:13No.
19:16You love someone else?
19:24Where has he gone?
19:30I wish I knew.
19:45Miss Bennet, there is a visitor to see you in the drawing room.
19:51Miss Bingley.
20:13Miss Bennet, I wanted to thank you for what you did on the mountain.
20:22Miss Bennet, you could have left me there and you didn't.
20:35I think it is plain to see that I have a great fondness for Mr. Ryder.
20:45And I have come to ask that you leave him alone.
20:51Oh, Miss Bingley, you are much better suited to Mr. Ryder than I am.
20:57Oh, you don't mean that.
20:57I do. I do.
20:59Mr. Ryder is a dear friend.
21:02But he and I, we were never a match.
21:10The truth is...
21:16It was always Mr. Hayward for me.
21:19But it is not to be.
21:22Really?
21:23Tom Hayward?
21:25Surely he is attainable.
21:29It seems not.
21:30He has disappeared.
21:35Well, well.
21:49Perhaps I shall call for you sometime, Miss Bennet.
21:54Yes, we could read poetry together.
22:00Goodbye, Miss Bennet.
22:01Goodbye, Miss Bingley.
22:22And so it was that I carved out my own path.
22:27I stayed in London and became a governess.
22:34Over time, I worried a little less about the approval of others.
22:40And though the life I had chosen was different to that of my sisters, I had a wealth of experience
22:47to be proud of.
22:50I had found a family I loved.
22:53I had found a family I loved very much.
22:54I was happy in the life I had chosen.
22:57And I knew that I was good enough.
23:04Though one can always be just a little happier, I suppose.
23:14Miss Bennet!
23:17Miss Bennet!
23:19Miss Bennet!
23:20Miss Bennet!
23:20Miss Bennet!
23:28Mr. Hayward.
23:51Mrs. Gardner said I might find you here
23:57I spent it
23:58Where have you been?
24:03Yorkshire
24:05What do you mean Yorkshire?
24:07You can't just say Yorkshire
24:09As if Yorkshire's an entirely reasonable explanation
24:11For your very sudden and somewhat lengthy disappearance
24:16After what you said
24:17I'm sorry Mary, please, please, let me explain
24:22Well you're here now
24:25Mr. Haywood
24:26Do go on
24:33Where we were in the lakes
24:35The legal matter that Mr. Ryder asked me to attend to
24:38Was his inheriting the fortune of Lady Catherine de Bourne
24:44And I knew quite clearly from Ryder's incredibly irritating behaviour
24:49That he had a liking for you
24:51As I also had
24:56As I also have
25:00It is such a liking
25:01In fact, that when I learned of Mr. Ryder's good fortune and his plan to make you an offer of
25:06marriage
25:06I thought
25:07I thought it in your best interest that I graciously step aside
25:10Nevertheless, my actions in the mountain
25:12You thought it in my best interest
25:15To graciously step aside
25:18So your disappearance
25:20Was in fact
25:21You being gracious to me
25:27You and Mr. Ryder
25:29Between you
25:29Thought that you would just decide on my fate
25:31And I would just accept it
25:33Like I'm a
25:34Like I'm a
25:35A great old cat
25:36If you put it like that
25:37It does not sound good
25:38Why didn't you just ask me
25:40What I thought
25:41I was reading between the lines
25:42There were no lines
25:43Mr. Haywood
25:44There were no lines
25:46I know I will never be able to offer you what Mr. Ryder can
25:51I have had to work for everything that I have
25:53And
25:55And I thought you deserved better than that
25:58That you deserved better than me
26:00But now I realise
26:03I will not know what you want
26:04Unless I ask
26:05So I must tell you
26:07I cannot offer you great wealth
26:08Or Italy
26:11But I can offer you my love
26:14And my devotion
26:15And my hope to build a family
26:17One day
26:23Mr. Haywood
26:26If you had asked me
26:27What I wanted
26:29I would have told you
26:30I never wanted Mr. Ryder
26:31I have never loved Mr. Ryder
26:34I love you
26:35I have only ever loved you
26:39I love you
26:41I have always loved you
26:43From the very first time I caught you playing graces
26:45On your own
26:46When you thought no one was at home
26:51I have spent my life
26:53On the outside of things
26:54But with you
26:55I am right in the middle of it all
27:07Mary Bennet
27:07Would you do me the very great honour
27:09Of becoming my wife
27:18Yes
27:20Yes
27:20Yes
27:22Yes
27:22Yes
27:24Yes
27:30Yes
27:30Yes
27:30Yes
27:30Yes
27:30Yes
27:31Yes
27:31Yes
27:31Yes
27:31In case you didn't catch it
27:34Mary I think now that we've kissed
27:36You could probably call me Tom
27:38Stop
27:54Wait what made you come back?
27:56Oh I received a letter
27:59From Caroline Bingley
28:00What?
28:02Yes
28:03She wrote to me and she told me about your conversation
28:05And I realised I was being ridiculous
28:07From Caroline Bingley?
28:09Yes
28:09She did something kind
28:11Wait however did she find you?
28:13She has a ways
28:18My only wish is that we could thank her
28:20But she has left London
28:21Oh
28:22She's gone to Italy
28:24In pursuit of Mr Ryder
28:27Now
28:28Yes
28:30Now
28:34My love
28:35My love
28:47And so it was
28:50That I married him
28:52But on my own terms
28:54In my own time
28:57And I hope you'll realise
28:58That is almost
29:00Beside the point
29:11The point
29:13Perhaps
29:13Was just as Hill had predicted
29:16All that time ago
29:18That I needed to get out
29:20And see the world
29:21Outside my family
29:23So that I could find
29:25My place in it
29:38And that is the last of them
29:41Really?
29:42Oh
29:47The Indigo is splendid
29:48It's actually Tyrion purple
29:50It's Tyrion?
29:51Yes from the Greek myth
29:52About Hercules' dog
29:53Traying a spiny Murek sea snail
29:55I didn't know Hercules had a dog
29:58Keep up Thomas
30:01I am trying
30:07What's next?
30:10Spring green
30:11In your drawing room
30:13ó
30:30It's still there
30:30I am very happy
30:31I am flying for a civilizations
30:32I am happy
30:35What's next?
30:37I did not know
30:38I am having a girlfriend
30:38I am not ever
30:38I am notления
30:39I am
30:42I am not ilish
