00:00MUSIC
00:22Miss Bennet.
00:26you are quite unlike anyone i have ever met you speak your mind with a with a refreshing directness
00:35and and you do not force yourself to conform to society's ideals i imagine it will come as
00:41no surprise when i say i have developed the greatest affection for you
00:54i cannot understand why a man such as mr rider would propose to mary oh shush perhaps he won't
01:00mother may have got her hopes up for nothing we shall never know his intentions if you two keep
01:04talking what is happening mr rider and mary are in the library and appear to be having a serious
01:11conversation i suppose most women of better looks and livelier character were already taken
01:15it cannot be a match driven by passion not all matches driven by passion turn out well
01:21lizzie i cannot hear what they are saying oh will you all just be quiet
01:27in these past few days i
01:32have felt a deeper understanding between us i believe you felt it too
01:38i i took to heart the things that you said yes and you must
01:46for i believe we should be very happy together miss bennett i i have a mind to go abroad to
01:53italy
01:54somewhere with with a lake in front of me and a mountain behind lakes are usually found in
02:01mountainous areas i am no although some are found in dormant volcanic craters but i cannot imagine going
02:07to italy without you miss bennett and therefore i wondered
02:15whether you might do me the greatest honor of coming with me
02:23well i we could read poetry all day and and drink wine all evening
02:29oh i do i like poetry and i like wine what we have loved others will love and we will
02:36teach them how
02:37let us teach each other i i don't speak any italian but i i suppose i could i could learn
02:44that's the spirit miss bennett this is why we are such a strong match you have the courage of my
02:50convictions
02:53how so you understand the appeal of living boldly living with freedom unburdened by the shackles of marriage
03:03sorry just to to be very clear um so you're suggesting that um i i live with you in
03:11italy but um that we remain unmarried yes exactly together but free
03:24for what woman wants to be owned in such a way oh what do you say
03:34i don't know what to say of course of course you must sleep on it
03:40but if you accept we could leave for london tomorrow and plan our trip to italy
04:07well mary come
04:09mary dear who would have thought you'd make such an excellent match i know i i i he didn't propose
04:17mama what do you mean he did not propose i mean that uh he called me in there to talk
04:25about
04:25um a sermon on uh good works mary this is no time for one of your poor attempts at humor
04:35mr rider showered you with attention only to pull you aside to discuss a sermon
04:45well we shall see about that i am sure mr rider will make his intentions clear in his own time
04:52yes yes yes he will mary i shall choose your dress for supper perhaps something of lizzie's
05:12mr collins looks as though you're all waiting for us we were not mrs bennett i am pleased to see
05:19you looking so well i see you didn't rush to pay your respects
05:24do not wish to impose how are you um all i long to know everything
05:30well there is something of a situation involving mary thank you lydia we were just getting ready for supper
05:47mary is looking very well tonight mr rider do you not agree
05:51i do indeed my daughters are a handsome set they most certainly are more wine mama this is the wine
06:01you requested and only one unmarried did you hear charlotte's news of longbourn mama in the drawing
06:08room we have opened up an orange how did you enjoy your ride this afternoon mr rider
06:12it was very pleasant excellent company mother mr darcy and i are thinking of holding a dinner in honor of
06:20your recovery very good idea lizzie was it your horse miss bennett that picked these blackberries
06:28where it came is that what she was doing this afternoon well if it is i feel quite terrible now
06:34having dragged her away so you should rather delicious have you always lived in london mr rider
06:40i have although my plan is to move to italy quite soon italy how long for to settle for the
06:48rest of my
06:49days or for as long as my fancy takes me well wherever you choose you will need a knowledgeable
06:58companion by your side as you know mary reads a great deal she has a very well-informed mind though
07:06do not let that put you off miss bennett is an extraordinary young woman young why italy for its
07:13history its beauty to wake up each morning to a view of a mountain ah in reality mountainous regions
07:21play havoc with one's rheumatism well i think that sounds quite perfect it really does you find long
07:28born tedious with its drafts i hardly think you would cope in mountains i will never know will i
07:38i did not know you spoke italian mr rider
07:42poco bless you
07:46i am quite looking forward to the peace and stillness of a foreign lad
07:52yes yes it would be most welcome
08:07no i remember very well being the subject of mother's plotting it is quite a lot to bear
08:17isn't it engagements can take time it is no small decision and important not to rush if mr rider
08:29does not propose you must not think it is a reflection on you mr rider has already proposed
08:47it was a kind of proposal oh mr rider proposed that i live with him in italy reading poetry and
09:01drinking wine that sounds quite perfect it does doesn't it it does i think i'd very much like to travel
09:09i would
09:09certainly rise to the challenge of a new language
09:13i have to give him my decision tomorrow morning
09:16well what did you mean by a kind of proposal
09:21mr rider believes that we should go to italy
09:27but remain unmarried
09:32he proposed that you should be his mistress
09:34not in those words
09:35i have never heard such a suggestion in my life
09:37oh well sadly lizzie i think most of us will never find ourselves in a romantic situation as perfect as
09:41yours
09:41but he insults you
09:42does not
09:43oh mr rider believes that women shouldn't be owned in such a way as marriage
09:48so he prefers a modern arrangement
09:50i'm sure he does one that is far more convenient for him
09:53if he tires of this arrangement he can easily move on whilst your reputation is ruined forever
09:59do you think he will tire of me
10:01of course not marry i
10:04marriage is the only thing a woman has to protect herself against such difficulties
10:08tell me you are not seriously considering his offer
10:14i mean i've begun to think i'm not i'm not much suited to conventional life
10:21i've always been the odd one out
10:24oh i know i know the scandal would be huge
10:29i know mother would be mortified
10:31but mr rider he treats me well
10:34he makes me laugh
10:35he is he is interested in me
10:41and i could escape
10:56mr rider is clearly fond of you
11:01and it is admirable
11:04that he has his own way of seeing the world
11:10but you deserve better than this offer
11:16lizzie
11:18you have grown up with no shortage of suitors
11:20and you're at home too
11:23you have you've always been
11:24mary we've had largely the same upbringing
11:26no no we may have grown up in the same house with the same mother and father
11:30and the same sisters
11:31but your experience of life has been wholly different to my own
11:36you were celebrated
11:38and you were you were respected
11:40i was not
11:43i mean for the rest of you
11:44even in your worst moments growing up
11:46you could look to me
11:47and think
11:49at least i'm not mary
11:51that's not true
11:52it's absolutely true
11:54but i always admired your strength
11:56that you never cared what mother or any of us thought
11:59of course i can
12:00well you always did things your own way
12:03that was the only way i knew
12:10mary
12:12all i want is to protect you
12:14well
12:15or protect yourself
12:17from whatever shame i might bring on the family
12:23how could you think such a thing
12:39do you love mr rider
12:42do you love it
13:11Oh, what?
13:28Ah, good morning, Miss Bennet.
13:31Good morning.
13:32And it is a perfect morning for travelling.
13:41I have enjoyed these last few days with you enormously.
13:46You have been a beam of light in the darkness, and I do not know what I would have done
13:53without
13:53your company.
13:54I have felt the same way.
14:03But I cannot accept your interesting proposal.
14:13I thought that you and I were aligned.
14:17I appreciate how important your ideas are to you.
14:20I know how strongly you feel about freedom in love.
14:30But, well, I am still very much bound by the expectations of society.
14:38And the expectations I have.
14:41For myself.
14:46Of course.
14:49I see.
14:52Goodbye, Mr Ryder.
14:58My best wishes to your family.
15:18Goodbye, Mr Ryder.
15:32Good morning, Mary.
15:35Mother.
15:36I trust you slept well last night?
15:39I did, yes.
15:41You must keep up your strength.
15:44Who knows what today may bring?
15:47Ah, here he is.
15:50Oh, what are you doing here?
15:52Oh, I was...
15:54Do join us, cousin.
15:56Where on earth is Mr Ryder?
15:59Ah, Mr Ryder has left.
16:01Don't be ridiculous, Mr Collins.
16:03He has no plans to leave.
16:05I saw him.
16:06I saw him climb into his carriage and go.
16:11I saw him climb into his carriage and go.
16:12Yes, Mr Ryder has left.
16:14He's left Bemberley.
16:16Did he make you an offer of marriage?
16:20I will not be marrying Mr Ryder.
16:26Oh, we'll not be marrying anyone.
16:28What did you do?
16:30I'm sure Mary didn't do anything.
16:32Why is everything with you so relentlessly disappointing?
16:39Beautiful morning.
16:53Mother, I am sorry if I have disappointed you.
16:58I sometimes think you delight in vexing me.
17:02I do not.
17:05It is not too late.
17:08Too late for what?
17:10Mother.
17:11To write to Mr Ryder and beg his forgiveness.
17:15His forgiveness?
17:17For whatever it is you did that drove him away.
17:22Oh.
17:23Do you really believe a man of such means will come along again for you?
17:29But I...
17:30Do you think the gardeners will have you back when they hear what you have done to Mr Ryder?
17:35Mother...
17:36If you will not write to him and ask him to return, then I shall write to my brother and
17:41tell him you are obliged to stay here with me.
17:46If you are incapable of taking advantage of the opportunities London Society offers you
17:52in finding you a match, then you shall remain here with me instead.
17:57If you're married, do you...
18:25Goodbye.
18:26We'll be thinking of you.
18:27Goodbye.
18:28Thank you, honey.
18:29Good luck with mother.
18:30Goodbye to you, honey.
18:56You make it worse.
19:07Mary, don't do that.
19:11Sorry, mother.
19:14You endlessly try my patience.
19:38Do not leave on my account, Miss Bennet.
19:43Sorry, I cannot provide good company today.
19:49I've noticed you've been more subdued of late.
19:51If I can be of any help, do you say we men of the cloth can offer the most useful
19:56counsel?
19:58Thank you, Mr Collins.
20:01I am, um...
20:03I'm often alone myself.
20:05Mrs Collins has so many duties and preoccupations that she has very little time left to spend with me.
20:11Oh.
20:12It seems I have the habit of frustrating her.
20:18As I tend to do everyone.
20:20No, not at all, Mr Collins.
20:25My father often commented that I was worthless.
20:29I thought a great deal about turning myself into something different.
20:32Someone easy and obliging.
20:36But...
20:38Somehow I can't.
20:42I've always struck the wrong note with people.
20:47Even in childhood.
20:50I felt the same way, many times.
20:53Um...
20:54I...
20:54I think you have much to offer, Mr Collins.
21:00Uh...
21:01Excuse me, I realise I'm now burdening you with my troubles.
21:04No, not at all.
21:06Hmm.
21:08What are you reading?
21:10Hmm?
21:11Oh, er...
21:13Aristotle.
21:16I'm...
21:17Looking into the question of...
21:20Happiness.
21:23Happiness?
21:24Hmm.
21:26What it is.
21:28How one might...
21:30Find it.
21:33Do you, um...
21:34Do you have an answer?
21:38Well...
21:39I'm not quite sure.
21:41I've found some points of interest.
21:45Please, would you tell me what you know, Mr Collins?
21:50Oh, er...
21:50What I've discovered seems to suggest that it is only through self-knowledge that genuine happiness is experienced.
21:59Through self-knowledge?
22:00Hmm.
22:00I...
22:01I think it is only when we have examined and understood our strengths and weaknesses and been honest enough about
22:08what we truly desire from life...
22:11Only then, do you have any chance at all of attaining happiness.
22:17So, what Aristotle is saying is that...
22:21Our happiness...
22:25Is in our own hands.
22:28Yes.
22:30Huh.
22:30I think so, yes.
22:33Interesting thought, isn't it?
22:36It's most interesting.
22:39Huh.
22:43Mary!
22:45It is him!
22:47It must be Mr Ryder coming back to try again!
22:51Huh!
22:52Huh!
22:57Huh!
23:01Uncle...
23:02Mary!
23:05Jane!
23:16You reminded us of the importance of protecting our health, and so Edward and I have decided to spend some
23:24much-needed time in the lakes.
23:26Hmm. Wonderful. Quite wonderful.
23:27All that wind would play havoc with my nerves.
23:31And we were wondering whether Mary might join us.
23:35Mary?
23:36Yes. We thought perhaps Mary could join us in the lakes and then return with us to London.
23:40Elizabeth wrote to us, explaining that Mary was without much to occupy her here.
23:45She has a very good occupation. She is my companion.
23:49I think it's a very sensible idea for Mary to get some fresh air.
23:52Oh, do you now?
23:53What do you think, Mary?
23:55Mary will not leave me.
23:57She knows I do not have many years left.
24:00And she wants to spend this precious time at my side.
24:03Isn't that right, Mary?
24:07Mother...
24:08Mr. Darcy and I have arranged a new companion for you.
24:12She's called Susan.
24:14Susan?
24:15Am I to be looked after by a Susan?
24:19We very much enjoy Mary's company.
24:22As do I.
24:23And knowing her passion for Wordsworth...
24:25She is forbidden to leave.
24:31Aunt.
24:33Uncle.
24:35Thank you for your invitation.
24:42I would be delighted to join you.
24:44What do you mean?
24:46I think, dear sister, she means she will be joining us in the Lake Districts.
24:50What a good idea.
24:52A good decision, Mary.
24:53Well done.
24:54A most excellent decision.
24:56Always good to challenge oneself.
24:57Oh, do be quiet, Mr. Collins!
25:00Well done, Mary!
25:03You should probably go and pack.
25:05I will help.
25:19I envy you.
25:23You envy me?
25:24The lakes.
25:26London.
25:27I never did experience much of life.
25:30It is a bold and brave decision to be.
25:32It is a bold and brave decision to be.
25:32Mary.
25:34And for what it's worth, I think it's the right one.
25:41Forgive me, Charlotte.
25:42I...
25:44I don't want to speak out of turn.
25:46I mean, I often have.
25:50Only you seem...
25:51You seem...
25:54quite unhappy.
26:03When my mother told me the only choice for a woman was marriage or misery, she negated to tell me
26:10it was possible to be both married and miserable.
26:17Yes, well, my father let us in on that particular secret some years ago.
26:22Yes.
26:23But I do believe that if you look a little under the surface, you will find more to Mr. Collins
26:31than you imagine.
26:32Yes.
26:38Goodbye, Mother.
26:40I will write.
26:44As you wish.
26:47Susan!
26:51Susan!
26:52Susan!
27:02Mary, I am so sorry if you have ever felt that I was ashamed of you.
27:07For I am not.
27:09I am very proud of you.
27:19I am scared, Lizzy.
27:23What if I made all the wrong decisions?
27:32Mary, you will flourish.
27:48I had made my escape and would not look back.
27:53I did not know what was next.
27:56But I knew that I could not return to live with my family ever again.
28:00Hey, Miss Bennet!
28:02Here.
28:05I have something for you.
28:11Thank you, Mr. Collins.
28:30Could it be that I decide my future?
28:34I felt sure that the lakes would offer me a chance for peace and reflection.
28:38Oh, Mary, I ought to have told you, Tom Haywood will be joining us in the lakes.
28:44I should have known that my life was never that simple.
28:48Hello, my friends.
28:53I am happy to be here in America.
28:57And I hope both for you, Tom Haywood will be in a special place.
29:12But I hope we're enjoying that again.
29:12Well, we may be glad we did not return to a cook.
29:14It is so fascinating.
29:18Does not return to your friends with someone who cares about us.
