00:21The anxiety I felt over my mother's sudden illness was quite overwhelming.
00:27Losing one parent had upturned my life. To lose the other was unthinkable.
00:37Though my mother's presence had always loomed large in my life, I could not imagine myself without her.

05:44Mary
06:13Mary
06:18Miss Bennett, a letter for you.
06:32Mary!
06:38Mary, where on earth have you been all this time?
06:41I was walking the dog, Mama.
06:45Please.
07:00Who's the letter from, Mary?
07:02From one of my friends in London.
07:05What friend is that, Mary?
07:07Lydia.
07:09What friend is that, Mary?
07:14Her name is Miss Baxter. Anne Baxter.
07:17I've never heard of Miss Baxter.
07:18Then she surely does not exist.
07:20She most probably does not.
07:22Lydia is being most unkind.
07:25I've never heard of Miss Baxter.
07:27Now I've used my restart Β».
07:27Instead I really felt disappointed
07:27I quid.
07:27Right.
07:52Come, my friend.
07:53TheyδΈζ ΠΌΠΎΠΆΠ½ΠΎ at national welto follow up.
08:11Something seems to be troubling you, Mary.
08:14You seem full of concerns every time we mention London.
08:18Do I?
08:20I thought you would be eager to return.
08:26Does Mother's dog in any way remind you of Mother?
08:34Oh, Lizzie, oh.
08:38I embarrassed myself terribly when I left London.
08:42Caroline Bingley was there.
08:43She was determined to humiliate me.
08:45And I left in such a flurry.
08:48I smashed a bell jar of great sentimental value to its owner, a new friend, Mr. Ryder.
08:56And everyone stared.
08:59Mary.
09:00No one else will have given it a second thought.
09:04It will seem worse to you, I'm sure.
09:06What person has not done something regrettable in their lives?
09:09You?
09:10You, Jane, Kitty, Lydia.
09:13Lydia?
09:15Oh, no.
09:16No.
09:17Lydia has.
09:19I can assure you, we all have.
09:23Anne wrote to tell me not to worry.
09:26You see?
09:28She's become a dear friend.
09:29And she has something of an understanding with another good friend of mine, um, Mr. Tom Haywood.
09:38Mr. Haywood is, he's, he's just the kind, kindest man.
09:45I see.
09:48And have you met any gentlemen that have taken your eye?
09:52I, no, oh, no, no.
09:56London, it's, it's actually entirely without any eligible men.
10:00And I think I ever believe I'm not, I'm not really the marrying sort.
10:05Nonsense, Mary.
10:14A visitor for Miss Mary Bannert.
10:20Mr. Ryder!
10:22What are you doing here?
10:24Miss Bannert.
10:26I hope you and your family won't consider this a great imposition, but you left London with such haste.
10:32I was most worried about your mother and wanted to offer my support in your hour of meet.
10:39How do you do, Mr. Ryder?
10:42Mrs. Bannert?
10:45Why, it is a pleasure to see you looking so well.
10:48Oh, I usually look much better than this, though my recovery has been quite extraordinary.
10:56I am.
10:56I'm glad to hear it.
11:01Miss Bannert, won't you introduce me to your sisters?
11:04Uh, uh, um, yes.
11:06Uh, this is Mrs. Elizabeth Darcy.
11:09Um, this is Mrs. Kitty Boncock.
11:11How do you do?
11:12Mrs. Jane Bingley and Mrs. Lydia Wickham.
11:14I'm enchanted to meet you all.
11:17How do you know Mary?
11:18Miss Bannert and I met at a soiree in London and share a similar taste in despicable crime pamphlets.
11:27Oh!
11:29Anyway, I was en route to visit my aunt, Lady Catherine de Burr, and wanted to pay my respects.
11:36Well, let us not stand upon ceremony.
11:39Elizabeth will arrange for us to take tea in the garden.
11:43Uh, Mr. Ryder, do join us.
11:44No, I'm sure Mr. Ryder will have more important matters to attend to.
11:49I have time.
11:52Are you well enough, Mamoire?
11:54Yes, thank you, Jane. I am perfectly well enough.
11:58Uh, Mary, take Mr. Ryder to the garden.
12:01Uh, Lydia will deal with the dog.
12:04What?
12:04Mr. Ryder, if this is part of the car, I must...
12:06Come along, Mr. Ryder.
12:11I have always felt that what a lady puts in her garden is so terribly important.
12:17Yes.
12:18Roses, of course.
12:19Of course.
12:19Your favourite flower?
12:21Well, I must know.
12:31My turn!
12:36I see you forgot to mention Mr. Ryder in your reports from London.
12:40You also forgot to mention how handsome he is.
12:44I mean, I've not really noticed his looks, I'm sure.
12:48He's come an awfully long way to see you.
12:51He's probably just thirsty.
12:53Mm-hmm.
12:53And nearby.
12:56What?
12:57Oh, you must stay with us, Mr. Ryder.
13:01Especially with the weather turning, as it may well do.
13:03Do you not agree, Lizzie?
13:04You would be most welcome, Mr. Ryder.
13:07That is very kind.
13:09Come, Miss Bennet.
13:10Show us your skills.
13:17That's not what I meant to do.
13:21Excellent!
13:22Well done, Mary!
13:24Yes.
13:26Bravo!
13:26Well done, Mary.
13:27I agree.
13:28Well done.
13:31I was sorry to see you leave London in such a hurry.
13:37Mr. Ryder, have...
13:39Have you come here to discuss, you know, the...
13:44Yes!
13:45Yes, Miss Bennet.
13:46I believe I have.
13:47I've been wondering whether to write to you on the subject.
13:50Oh, I wouldn't expect you to lead the conversation, Miss Bennet.
13:54Mr. Ryder, are you here to talk about...
13:57I'll correct you.
13:58The bell jar.
14:00The bell jar?
14:01What did you say?
14:03Miss Bennet!
14:05Please, do not trouble yourself over that.
14:08But it was your father's.
14:09I thought you'd be upset.
14:11Not at all.
14:11Please, think no more of it.
14:18Oh.
14:24It is a pleasure to meet your family.
14:28Yes, my sisters are exceptional.
14:31I know.
14:32As are you, Miss Bennet.
14:35Oh, no.
14:36I am much more...
14:40I find it most refreshing that you do not fawn over potential husbands or have your mind constantly set on
14:47finding a match.
14:50Well, no, no.
14:53I don't really...
14:53I don't give it much thought.
14:56You lack artifice.
14:58Your qualities shine out.
14:59They're not corrupted by the false polish of the world.
15:05She's a...
15:06Observations of a very, very personal nature.
15:09Well, I have a very low opinion of the petty rules to which we submit ourselves in the name of
15:14good manners.
15:15Did you know that?
15:16I think you may have mentioned it once or twice.
15:20I believe, Miss Bennet, that our inability to say what we mean is one of the great curses of our
15:27age.
15:27We hide behind a thousand disguises that we like to call politeness.
15:33Hmm.
15:49Mr. Darcy sends his apologies.
15:51He has a seasonal headache.
15:53Oh.
15:54Hmm.
15:55Mr. Ryder, tell us about yourself.
15:58Mary mentioned you are an avid reader.
16:00Oh, uh, of poetry, perhaps.
16:04I find longer works are usually not for me.
16:07Really?
16:08I think the brevity of poetry is one of its principal attractions.
16:11I agree.
16:13Wholeheartedly.
16:14I only wish I had the fine mind of your sister.
16:17Miss Bennet has such an astute understanding of a wide range of literature.
16:22She does.
16:24She does.
16:25I do not know whether she gets it from me or her father.
16:30From you, Mother, I'm sure.
16:32Oh.
16:33There are very few people who have the insight of Miss Bennet.
16:37I could talk to you all day.
16:40I must admit, London has been a little grey without you.
16:46Oh, no.
16:47Are you joking?
16:49No, there are many interesting minds in London, all eager for thoughtful conversation.
16:54None as interesting as yours.
17:08Hello?
17:12Mother.
17:14I came to wish you goodnight.
17:20Here.
17:34Mr. Ryder would make an excellent match.
17:45I wonder what kind of endowment he has.
17:50I do not know, Mum.
17:52A sizable one, I'm sure.
17:56Good night, Mumma.
18:03Good night, Mary.
18:46PIANO PLAYS
18:56Sorry, don't let me distract you.
19:01What are you reading, Mr Ryder?
19:03A rather fascinating book.
19:08Um...
19:08Uh, Jesus.
19:09Right, it's upside down.
19:11Ah, so it is.
19:14What are you reading, Miss Bennet?
19:16Fordyce's Sermons to Young Women.
19:17Oh, insufferable rulemaking pedant.
19:20Would you like me to put it in the fire for you?
19:24It's not quite how I remember it, I'll admit.
19:41What are they talking about?
19:46Barry sounds serious.
19:48She is boring him, I know it.
19:50I think you should read Mrs Macaulay.
19:52She will help you to better understand the world.
19:56I am no good at all at wasting my energy on anything that does not either move or please me.
20:02I think that is a shame, sir.
20:10You know, my father was a scholar.
20:13He devoted all his time to studying insects.
20:16Winged beetles, mostly.
20:18Of course, yes.
20:19The beetle in the jar.
20:22It's fascinating stuff, really.
20:26Well, I'm not so sure, but it occupied his every waking hour.
20:32He rarely emerged from his study.
20:36We hardly ever saw him.
20:40When I was 15 years old,
20:47he died quite suddenly.
20:50Oh.
20:52I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
20:55A few days after his death,
20:58I sat in his dark study and
21:02I thought about all the hours he'd spent in there.
21:06Away from his family.
21:09Away from life.
21:10And for what?
21:12Your father must have derived
21:13a great deal of pleasure from his work.
21:17Perhaps.
21:18But I think I learnt more about the point of human existence in that moment
21:22than my father learnt in a lifetime of study.
21:26From then on,
21:27I devoted myself
21:29to the pursuit of joy.
21:33Tell me, Miss Bennett.
21:36What makes you happy?
21:41Sorry, um,
21:42nobody ever asked me such a question.
21:45Then you must consider it now.
21:48Uh,
21:49well, um,
21:53reading, reading,
21:54learning,
21:55teaching.
21:58And
22:00what of
22:02friendship?
22:05Of love?
22:09Uh, yes.
22:11Of course, no, of course, that.
22:13Life is short,
22:15Miss Bennett.
22:17Everything turns to dust
22:19in the end.
22:23We might as well experience some joy
22:25before that happens.
22:33Let's go riding.
22:37Yes.
22:39Let's.
22:45Ladies.
22:48What a waste.
22:51Well?
22:52Well, what?
22:53Are you going out walking again, Mary?
22:54No, Mr. Ryder and I are going riding.
22:56On a horse?
22:57Yes, that's generally the idea.
22:58But you hate horses.
22:59Mary,
23:00what are his intentions?
23:02To ride a horse,
23:03I think.
23:15Oh, no.
23:17Oh, no.
23:22Oh, dear.
23:23Oh, dear.
23:26Um.
23:27You're quite alright, Miss Bennett.
23:29I'm perfectly fine.
23:30Yes.
23:32No.
23:34There we go.
23:35There we go.
23:37Now,
23:37I've been thinking
23:39about your argument.
23:41That, uh,
23:42that we should say
23:43more honestly
23:44what we think and feel.
23:45Oh, excellent.
23:47I knew you'd agree.
23:48Oh,
23:49I don't know that I do.
23:51I mean, surely
23:52even you must admit
23:53there may be occasions
23:54when,
23:55well,
23:55for all manner of reasons,
23:57some things are best left unsaid.
23:59I cannot concur.
24:00I intend to live my life
24:02by bolder principles.
24:03In fact,
24:04that is why I came here.
24:06To put that belief
24:07into practice.
24:09Oh, really?
24:10Yes.
24:11I came here
24:11to commit
24:12the great impropriety
24:13of telling you honestly
24:14what I think of you.
24:16Oh.
24:18Mr. Ryder,
24:18I can assure you
24:19there's no need.
24:20I attempted to scribble
24:21a few lines,
24:22but then I thought of
24:23some verses
24:25of Mr. Wordsworth
24:26that captured
24:27your spirit perfectly.
24:30May I be allowed
24:31to recite them to you?
24:35Of course,
24:36Mr. Ryder.
24:37Please.
24:41She dwelt
24:42among...
24:43Excuse me.
24:46No.
24:48Please,
24:49take your time.
24:56She dwelt
24:57among the untrodden ways
25:00beside the springs
25:01of Dove.
25:02A maid
25:03whom there were none
25:05to praise
25:06and very few
25:07to love.
25:09A violet
25:10by a mossy stone
25:11half hidden
25:12from the eye.
25:15Fair as a star
25:16when only one
25:18is shining
25:19in the sky.
25:26I think you see me
25:28as a lonely figure.
25:30I was brought up
25:31in Hertfordshire, sir.
25:32So the road to London
25:33was barely five miles away.
25:35It is possible
25:36to feel oneself alone
25:37even in such
25:38close proximity to town.
25:40Yes, but in my village
25:41it was quite untrue
25:42to say that there were
25:44none to praise
25:44and very few to love.
25:46There were scores
25:47of people
25:48very eager
25:49to praise my sisters.
25:50Perhaps living
25:51with your family
25:52in Meryton
25:53kept you
25:55half hidden
25:56from the eye.
25:58But now you've
25:59broken out
25:59on your own.
26:01You can be seen
26:02at last
26:03as you deserve.
26:05Fair as a star
26:06when only one
26:07is shining
26:08in the sky.
26:14Oh!
26:19You're an actual
26:20Miss Bennett.
26:21Oh, I'm not.
26:22I know.
26:27Our conversation
26:28has made me very happy,
26:29Miss Bennett.
26:34Me too,
26:35Miss Ryder.
26:41Yeah, yeah, yeah,
26:43yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
26:51Walk on.
27:00Mary, there you are.
27:02Whatever's the matter?
27:03What happened on the ride?
27:06We rode horses?
27:07Hmm.
27:08And mine was most unruly
27:10and it had a taste for brambles
27:11as if it had a mine.
27:12It was really,
27:13and my saddle
27:14was not at all comfortable.
27:15Yeah, Mary.
27:15That's not a slight
27:16on the quality of it.
27:17Mary.
27:17It's merely the design.
27:17Mary!
27:21It appears
27:22Mr. Ryder
27:23does have some sort
27:24of affection for you
27:25and I believe
27:27he is about to propose.
27:32Mother,
27:33I'm not completely sure
27:34that you are right
27:35and I really would hate
27:36to cause you
27:37any further disappointment.
27:38This is an opportunity
27:39that cannot be overlooked.
27:41He's a very eligible gentleman.
27:45You will say yes,
27:47won't you?
27:51There you are.
27:52What happened?
27:52What did he say?
27:53Did he ask you?
27:54He's not going to ask her.
27:55There's years of me.
27:56I can't.
28:03Miss Ferry.
28:07Are you
28:08quite all right?
28:09Oh, it's
28:10nothing.
28:11Nothing at all.
28:13May I speak with you
28:14in private?
28:16I have something
28:17very important
28:17I want to discuss
28:18with you.
28:37Mother had told me
28:39to prepare myself
28:42but nothing
28:43could prepare me
28:45for what happened
28:47for what happened
28:47next.
29:12I have something
29:15for what happened
