Short filmTranscript
00:23Three times I had written to Mr. Hayward, and each time the letter was returned, marked
00:29forwarding a dress 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.
01:52Four 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, for 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.
03:45I 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.
04:47Oh, 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, um, please sit.
05:59Yes.
06:01Yes.
06:03Yes.
06:04Yes.
06:04Yes.
06:05Yes.
06:05Yes.
06:06Yes.
06:06Yes.
06:07Yes.
06:08Yes.
06:08Yes.
06:11Yes.
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.
06:31It's very kind.
06:34But although there is something of a gulf between my ideals and the world we live in, I like to
06:43think that you and I could carve out an interesting existence.
06:51To get her.
06:55And...
06:55I shall now do what I should have done weeks ago and ask, Miss Bennet.
07:12would you consider
07:15accepting my hand in marriage
07:24Mr. Ryder
07:32my answer must of course be
07:42that I do not love you
07:50could it be that you
07:51you might
07:53grow to love me
07:58not in the way that you
08:01deserve to be loved
08:07your friendship has taught me
08:10so much about myself and for
08:12that I should always be
08:14grateful
08:16but I don't believe I would
08:20ever have made you happy
08:26you should follow your heart
08:28go to Italy
08:30and seize everything it has to offer
08:35I see
08:39you will find happiness Mr. Ryder
08:42true happiness
08:43yes I do not doubt it
08:59no it was a pleasure to see you looking so well
09:07pleasure to see you looking so dry

11:27studying somewhere
11:28somehow
11:29I would like to be a governess
11:32to an older girl
11:33perhaps
11:35I think I'd enjoy teaching
11:36petrology and geology

11:39perhaps one day you could
11:40tutor my daughter
11:42you have a child

11:49I guess
11:51no I've not
11:52really looked
11:53too far into it
11:54as yet
11:56I think my mother
11:58will not approve
12:03if I remember rightly
12:04you and your mother
12:06always had very different
12:07ideas about life
12:08about reading
12:10about the wearing
12:11of spectacles
12:13and about
12:16potential matches
12:22if I may be so bold
12:24if you have always
12:25struggled
12:26to please your mother
12:28why do you keep trying
12:31as long as you know
12:32what you want
12:32perhaps it is time
12:33to stop worrying
12:34what she thinks
12:40our happiness
12:41is in our own hands

14:57seen many
14:59miserable

15:59what it has been like

16:03five daughters
16:05all of whom
16:06I knew

16:09and there was nobody
16:10to make that happen
16:11except me
16:14your father
16:15never had to think
16:16about it
16:18and he never
16:19raised a finger

16:23in fact
16:25any attempts
16:26I made
16:26to discuss
16:27your future
16:28seemed only
16:28to rile him
16:31I was quite
16:33alone

16:41always have been
16:42very different
16:43creatures
16:46and it is likely

16:52fair that you

19:03a great deal

20:18what you did
20:20on the mountain
20:22you could have
20:23left me there
20:25and
20:26you didn't
20:35I think it is
20:36plain to see
20:38that I
20:40have a great
20:40fondness for
20:42Mr. Ryder
20:45and I have
20:46come to ask

20:51oh Miss
20:52Bingley

20:54much
20:55better suited
20:55to Mr. Ryder

20:57that
20:57I do
20:58I do
20:59Mr. Ryder
20:59is a
21:01dear friend
21:02but he and I
21:04we were never
21:05a match
21:10the truth is
21:16it was always
21:17Mr. Hayward
21:17for me
21:19but it is not
21:20to be
21:22really
21:23Tom Hayward
21:26surely
21:26he is
21:27attainable
21:29it seems
21:30not
21:31he has
21:32disappeared
21:35well
21:35well
21:48perhaps I shall
21:50call for you
21:52sometime
21:52Miss Bennet
21:53yes we could
21:55we could read
21:56poetry together
22:00goodbye Miss
22:01Bennet
22:01goodbye Miss
22:02Bingley
22:22and so it was
22:24that I carved out
22:25my own path
22:27I stayed in London
22:29and became
22:30a governess
22:34over time
22:35I worried a little
22:37less about the
22:37approval of others
22:40and though the life
22:41I had chosen
22:42was different
22:43to that of my
22:44sisters
22:45I had a wealth
22:46of experience
22:47to be proud of
22:50I had found a family
22:52I loved
22:52very much
22:53I was happy
22:55I was happy
22:55in the life
22:56I had chosen
22:57and I knew
22:58that I was
22:59good enough
23:04though one can
23:05always be
23:06just a little
23:07happier
23:08I suppose
23:09Miss Bennet
23:14Miss Bennet
23:15Miss Bennet
23:27Mr Hayward
23:29Mr Hayward
23:51Mrs. Gardiner said I might find you here.
23:57Mrs. Bennet, I...
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...
24:17But I'm sorry, Mary, please, please.
24:19Let me explain.
24:22Well, you're here now, Mr. Haywood.
24:26Do go on.
24:33Well, 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 Bourgh.
24:44And I knew quite clearly from Ryder's incredibly...
24:48irritating behaviour that he had a liking for you,
24:51as I also had.
24:56As I also have.
24:59It is such a liking, in fact,
25:02that when I learned of Mr. Ryder's good fortune
25:04and he's planned to make you an offer of marriage,
25:06I thought...
25:07I thought it in your best interest that I graciously step aside.
25:11Nevertheless, my actions in the mountains...
25:13You thought it in my best interests to graciously step aside.
25:18So your disappearance was, in fact, you being gracious to me.
25:27You and Mr. Ryder, between you, thought that you would just decide on my fate
25:31and I would just accept it, like I'm a great old cat.
25:36If you put it like that, it does not sound good.
25:38Why didn't you just ask me what I thought?
25:41I was reading between the lines.
25:42There were no lines.
25:43Mr. Hayward, there 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 I thought you deserved better than that.
25:59That you deserved better than me.
26:00But now I realise
26:03I will not know what you want unless I ask.
26:06So I must tell you I cannot offer you great wealth or Italy.
26:11But I can offer you my love
26:14and my devotion
26:15and my hope to build a family one day.
26:23Mr. Hayward,
26:26if you had asked me what I wanted,
26:29I would have told you I never wanted Mr. Ryder.
26:31I have never loved Mr. Ryder.
26:34I love you.
26:36I 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 the door.
27:07Mary Bennet,
27:07would you do me the very great honour
27:09of becoming my wife?
27:17Yes.
27:20Yes.
27:21Yes.
27:23Yes.
27:29That was a yes right away, Mr. Hayward.
27:32In case you didn't catch it.
27:34Mary, I think now that we've kissed you,
27:36you could probably call me Tom.
27:37Oh, stop.
27:54Wait, what made you come back?
27:56Oh, I received a letter.
27:59From Caroline Bingley.
28:01What?
28:02Yes.
28:03She wrote to me
28:04and 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
28:19is that we could thank her
28:20but she has left London.
28:22Oh.
28:22She's gone to Italy
28:24in pursuit of Mr. Ryder.
28:27Now?
28:28Yes.
28:28Yes.
28:30No.
28:31It wasn't.
28:34Oh, no.
28:38Oh, no.
28:48And so it was
28:50that I married him
28:51but on my own terms
28:54in my own time
28:57and I hope you'll realise
28:58that is almost
29:00beside the point.
29:03Yes.
29:08Go in here.
29:11The point, perhaps,
29:14was just as Hill had predicted
29:16all that time ago.
29:18Yes.
29:19That 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.
29:30Hmm.
29:38That is the last of them.

29:42No.
29:47The indigo is splendid.
29:49It's actually Tyrian purple.
29:50It's Tyrian?
29:51Yes, from the Greek myth
29:52about Hercules' dog
29:53chewing a spiny murex sea snail.
29:55I didn't know Hercules had a dog.
29:58Keep up, Thomas.
30:01I am trying.
30:08What's next?
30:10Spring green.
30:12In your drawing room?
30:23It's shady.
30:25It's triplek.
30:30In your drawing room?
30:42This is a feeling
30:42So I will be mis謹恐
30:42about the four years
30:42because it was inside
30:43a dark hollow.
