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 fingers.
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.
02:47Dad!
02:49I 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,
03:25and while the young lambs bound as to the taber's sound,
03:32to 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!
04:12I'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.
04:29And 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 have this.
04:55Um...
04:59I have some...
05:01It's very clean air.
05:02I'm sorry.
05:03Forgive 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.
05:19Oh.
05:23It is most fortunate that you were able to join us.
05:31Ah.
05:36How 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, I...
05:57No, yes.
05:59But, um...
06:00...well, in her...
06:01...strengthened state...
06:04...I 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.
06:13They 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...
06:47...on the way here.
06:51At...at the coaching inn.
06:52Quite by chance.
06:55I'm sorry, Mr. Hayward, I...
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.
07:21Oh, well, um, yes, uh...
07:23Mary! Tom! We should get going!
07:26Yes.
07:28Oh.
07:30We will speak again.
07:31Yes.
07:31Twice.
07:41I read in my fishing book that we need to find the creases...
07:44...where 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.
07:52No, just loosen it a little.
07:54Yes.
07:55No, I'm cast off.
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?
08:17Really? Do you think we could?
08:18I'd like to.
08:20Are you skilled at physical pursuits, Miss Baxter?
08:22No.
08:22Not in the meets.
08:23I think I felt it.
08:24I'm enthusiastic.
08:26I'll get the net.
08:27Well, that'll do.
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.
08:49It was brief and it was uneventful.
08:53Something is definitely...
08:56Oh.
08:57It's sizeable.
08:58Bring it in slowly.
08:59No, no.
09:00Just let the rod do the work.
09:02No, so lift and reel.
09:04So lift and reel.
09:06Lift and reel.
09:07Lift and reel.
09:08Perhaps this will be your supper for the evening.
09:12I'm not eating that.
09:17It was moving.
09:20It was moving.
09:21It was moving.
09:22It was moving.
09:22It was moving.
09:22It 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 don't...
10:31I 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 plank?
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.
10:54Um...
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.
11:00At Pemberley, I went riding with Miss...
11:03Um...
11:04With...
11:05Mr Ryder.
11:06Oh.
11:07Uh...
11:08Um...
11:09No...
11:10Mr Ryder and I are not engaged.
11:14If that's what you thought.
11:17Oh.
11:18Uh...
11:19In...
11:19In fact, I'm...
11:20Try...
11:21Trying 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...
12:12I'm sure you do not wish to discuss...
12:15Engagements.
12:18Well, the truth is...
12:18Is there a lark...
12:20That 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.
12:37More like...
12:40Yes.
12:42But they may sing differently up here.
12:45In London, they sound like...
12:51And I find the lark is a bit more...
12:57I think...
12:59The lark is quite a difficult one to get right.
13:02It's quite shrill.
13:02Hard on the throat.
13:04Yes, sir.
13:05In truth, the only bird call that I'm entirely confident with is that of the London pigeon.
13:11Wheeeee!
13:14Wheeeee!
13:15Wheeeee!
13:17Wheeeee!
13:18Wheeeee!
13:18Wheeeee!
13:18Wheeeee!
13:21Come in.
13:27Good evening, Mary.
13:36How have you enjoyed your day?
13:39Very much so.
13:44You and Mr. Hayward get along very well.
13:50He must surely be quite devastated about Anne Baxter.
13:55Hm.
13:56If he is...
13:59He's concealing his heartache quite convincingly.
14:04He seems in good spirits.
14:07I always wondered if they're entirely well suited.
14:11Really?
14:13I mean, I'm sure Mr. Hayward felt that they were.
14:17Did he?
14:21Good night, Mary.
14:32Mm.
14:37Mm.
14:43It's the landscape.
14:50You can't choose.
15:02What are you reading?
15:101010 Abbey.
15:11Oh, that's my favourite.
15:13I am quite fed up with it.
15:15It does not easily give up its secrets.
15:20Beauty is...
15:22Would you read it to me?
15:26From where you are.
15:29Oh.
15:31Well.
15:42In hours of weariness, sensations sweet, felt in the blood and felt along the heart.
15:52And passing even into my purer mind, with tranquil restoration, feelings too of unremembered, unremembered pleasure.
16:04Would you mind?
16:05Could you read on?
16:06I'd just like to take some notes on that last bit.
16:13I will read on, but perhaps you could try not to worry about notes, Miss Bennet.
16:32For I've learned to look on nature, not as in the hour of thoughtless youth.
16:40But hearing, oftentimes, still sad music of humanity, nor harsh nor grating, though of ample power to chasten and subdue.
16:54And I have felt a presence that disturbs me with the joy of elevated thoughts.
17:09What do you think?
17:13Yes, no, um...
17:16Mr. Wordsworth is...
17:18Well, he's explaining our connection to nature and...
17:24To all of this.
17:27And how that connection grows as we 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.
18:18I have been trying to clarify something, Miss Bennet.
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.
18:29And 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!
18:49Ahoy there!
18:54Is that Ryder?
18:57What is he doing here?
18:58He will be a young Ryder.
18:59Why is he getting into the water?
19:02Oh, he is absolutely typical of that man.
19:05An impatient and ill-thought-proof.
19:06Mr. Ryder, please be careful!
19:14What a beautiful day!
19:16What are you doing here?
19:21Mr. Ryder, please let me hold you onto the boat.
19:26Mr. Ryder, come on, Hayward!
19:28A little bit hard!
19:29Careful!
19:35Mr. Ryder, how 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!
19:50Miss Bennett, could you get an oar, please?
19:52Yes, of course.
19:55No, no, that's not quite what's happening.
19:59Miss Bennett, could you get the other oar?
20:01We'll go on to the other end.
20:04Yes.
20:12Let go.
20:13The last thing we want is to pull Miss Bennett in.
20:16No, let go.
20:17Let's go.
20:17Oh, I'm 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.
20:54I think I swallowed the water.
20:56Yes, I'm sure.
21:20Thank you, Miss Bennett.
21:22Mr. Ryder.
21:23Mr. Gardiner.
21:24Mrs. Gardiner.
21:26Please forgive me intruding.
21:29I needed legal advice, and when I heard Tom was in the lakes, well, I could hardly resist.
21:34How lovely to see you, Mr. Ryder.
21:36What is this legal matter that simply could not wait?
21:39Oh, it's not urgent.
21:41No, let's enjoy ourselves first.
21:43It's urgent.
21:44I had not realized I would find such a happy party gathered here.
21:48You two will catch your death.
21:50Go and change.
21:51On such a beautiful day, I can barely feel the cold.
22:07Well, that was a much more adventurous day than I'd been imagining.
22:11Yes, it was quite unexpected all around.
22:15I mean, what the Hursts are here?
22:18Greetings from London.
22:21Miss Bennett.
22:23Miss the Hurst.
22:24Miss the Hurst.
22:25Miss the Hurst.
22:25What is that smell?
22:27Is this the whole of your party?
22:29Or is...
22:30Louisa?
22:31Have 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.
22:50Miss Bingley.
22:50That is the smell of fresh air.
22:53Miss Bennett.
22:55No one mentioned you were going to be here.
22:59And yet, here I am.
23:02Right, well.
23:03We 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 Bennett.
23:23Mary.
23:27So, I know much of you forward to our climb tomorrow.
23:31As am I.
23:32I've arranged for the guide to meet us here in the morning.
23:35Ah, yes.
23:36Mr 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.
23:53I 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?
24:02It is a difficult climb.
24:05A 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.
24:32I think the guide will be able to give us a better estimate.
24:34Mr Ryder, I am...
24:35Oh, you're sure?
24:37May I?
24:38Oh, um...
24:51Perhaps you and I might walk together tomorrow, away 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.
25:09On the boat.
25:15Tom, shall we discuss provisions for the climb?
25:20Good night, Miss Bennet.
25:22Good night.
25:23Uh, excuse me, I just...
25:25I don't know that.
25:28Yes?
25:29Miss Bennet, I have been wanting to speak to you to apologise.
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.
26:32I 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?
26:43I had somehow won the admiration of two dear friends?
26:49All inaudible
