00:05Music
00:24The loss of my father was a leap into the unknown.
00:29Longbourn was my childhood home, and although I had my struggles here, it was all I had ever known.
00:37From now on, would I be relying on the hospitality of my sisters, destined to spend my days as my
00:45mother's companion?
00:48What other choice did I have?
00:54I do not expect any of you to understand my pain.
00:59The bond Mr. Bennet and I shared was a rare thing.
01:04I do not know that I shall ever eat again.
01:10Who is that?
01:12I do not know, Mama.
01:14What sort of person would impinge upon our hour of mourning so distastefully?
01:21Charlotte!
01:24I am afraid you find us in a state of some disarray.
01:29Understandably.
01:30We have been wanting to see you all since we heard the terrible news, but knew you would need time
01:36as a family to...
01:37To gather your things.
01:38Yourselves.
01:39Together.
01:43I want to make it quite clear.
01:48No.
01:50Quite clear that there's no rush for you to leave Longbourn.
01:54Hm.
01:56Thank you, Mr. Collins.
01:58You are quite welcome to stay here with us for a full two weeks.
02:01Two weeks.
02:03Mrs. Bennet, there really is no hurry for you and Mary to leave.
02:06But I have arranged you some help with the packing.
02:08Mm.
02:09So you are not obliged to undertake such a difficult task during your hour of need?
02:15Mm.
02:17Oh!
02:27Mama.
02:28You must come and stay with Mr. Bingley and Knight Netherfield.
02:32We have a number of cooks and more servants than we know what to do with.
02:37Oh, Jane.
02:39I would be delighted.
02:41It would bring me great comfort to be in a sightable property with a large number of staff at my
02:46disposal.
02:47Ha ha!
02:49Ha ha!
02:49And Mary, you of course must come too.
02:54But if you're worried about company, Caroline Bingley stays with us often.
03:00Well, yes, but I have not yet thought through my future prospects.
03:07Speaking of your prospects, Mary, I have received a letter from my brother and his wife in London.
03:13Their governess has been called back to Norfolk and they have asked me to send you to stay with them
03:18until a suitable replacement is found.
03:21Mary's going to be a governess.
03:23Oh, Mary.
03:24I would very much like to help, but, um, you will need me, Mama.
03:30I have already accepted their offer.
03:32They're sending a carriage.
03:35But, Mama, do not worry about me, Mary.
03:38I shall have Jane by my side.
03:41Ha ha!
03:56If my options in life really were marriage or misery, it looked very much as though I was destined for
04:02misery.
04:10Mrs. Bennet is indisposed.
04:15Oh.
04:16Of course.
04:19Thank you, Hill.
04:28Um...
04:29What if the children don't like me?
04:32Why should they not like you?
04:34You're a perfectly likable soul.
04:39I have nothing ready to teach them.
04:42Mary, nobody knows more facts about anything than you.
04:48It's time for you to get out and see the world.
04:52Meet some other people that live in it.
04:54I think it'll do you good.
04:57Do not be frightened, Miss Mary.
04:59Oh, no, I'm not.
05:00I'm not...
05:01No, I'm just, um...
05:04Ei, what do you mean?
05:08I don't know, of course.
05:11I can't.
05:14I can't wait.
05:15It's time for you to make a time for a while.
05:15I'm not even ready to leave your car.
05:15You did not know me.
05:15I am a fan of the house.
05:15I am a fan of the house.
05:15He just went to the house.
05:15I am, you, my family, wife, are you?
05:19I am a fan of the house.
05:24I am a fan of the house.
06:34Oh, Mary! Welcome!
06:36I am sorry.
06:36Mary, you must be hungry after your journey.
06:38Would you like some toasted cheese?
06:40But first, we'll show you your room.
06:41Come in, come in!
06:44It's right at the top of the house,
06:46so you won't be disturbed by the children.
07:07How's your mother?
07:10She's had a most trying time of late.
07:12Well, you all have.
07:15Mother as well.
07:16Thank you for inquiring.
07:19And how are you, Mary?
07:22It must have been a terrible shock.
07:27It was.
07:29Well, thank you for stepping in at such short notice.
07:33We don't stand on ceremony here, especially with the children,
07:36so if you don't mind that, you'll do well with us.
07:40And the rest of your belongings will be brought up any moment.
07:43Do you have all you need?
07:45I do.
08:00Which mountain range is found at the end of your armies?
08:05Oh, my.
08:06The Andes.
08:23Mary, won't you join us for breakfast?
08:26Oh, no, no, no, sir, thank you, sir.
08:28I'm not at all hungry this morning.
08:30I shall see the children upstairs.
08:44Marianne, would you like to start?
08:47Miss Bennet, it's a pleasure to meet you.
08:50I am Marianne Gardner, and I'm 11 years old.
08:54It's my pleasure to meet you too, Miss Marianne.
08:59George!
09:02Yes, thank you, George.
09:05And this is...
09:10This is Rebecca.
09:12Thank you, Miss Rebecca.
09:15And if an organised body is not in the situation and circumstances
09:22best adapted to its sustenance and propagation,
09:27then in conceiving an indefinite variety
09:30among the individuals of that species,
09:34we must be assured that, on the one hand,
09:37those which depart most from the best adapted constitution
09:41will be the most liable to perish.
09:47You've made him go to sleep.
09:55Let us move on to history, shall we?
09:57Now, in 1492, Christopher Columbus discovered America.
10:04Now, where is America?
10:05Ah, yes, America.
10:09Uh...
10:13Where has Rebecca gone?
10:15There were very clearly three of you in this room
10:17when I began looking at the globe,
10:19and now there are two of you.
10:20She vanished.
10:22She's a magician.
10:24Well, magic is nothing but illusion and trickery.
10:26Oh.
10:27Now, where could she be?
10:30Tom!
10:31You're here!
10:31Tom!
10:32Can we finish lessons now?
10:33Yes.
10:34Oh, forgive the intrusion.
10:36I, uh, came to tell you that dinner is served,
10:38and you must be Miss Bennet.
10:41I... I must be.
10:44Oh, yes, I am.
10:45Uh, uh, Tom Hayward.
10:47Oh.
10:48Friend of the family.
10:51Hmm.
10:55Aren't there normally three of you?
10:57There were three, certainly,
10:59but I was looking at America,
11:03and when I looked back, it was...
11:11Do you have mice, Miss Bennet?
11:13For if you do,
11:14might I suggest you do not keep them in the toy trunk?
11:20Well, I...
11:20I wasn't sure.
11:21I thought perhaps mice like toy trunks.
11:25No, you see, in there,
11:26they cannot get to their cheese.
11:28Actually, it's, um, it's a fallacy
11:30that mice like cheese.
11:33Of course.
11:34They're much more partial to root vegetables and grains.
11:38Yes, indeed.
11:39I'm a rabbit.
11:43Mr. Hayward?
11:47Mr. Hayward,
11:48I am keeping a rabbit in the toy trunk
11:52because...
11:54I...
11:56Because rabbits are not at all social creatures.
11:59Exactly.
12:00Yes, they are.
12:05Well, why exactly do you have a new governess?
12:09Is it that you keep eating them?
12:17Tom helped Edward with the legal matter some years ago,
12:20and we've been friends ever since.
12:22You're another of our former lodgers.
12:24Oh.
12:25Yes.
12:27What is a revolutionary Republican?
12:34Well, uh, as discussed during the lesson,
12:38um, they're often associated with Jacobinism.
12:40But my point really was...
12:41Sounds like you had a very interesting first day, Miss Bennet.
12:44Well, uh...
12:46Have you read Catherine Macaulay, Miss Bennet?
12:49Yes, I have.
12:50Yes.
12:52Mary told us about smallpox,
12:54and I shall never sleep again.
12:56Well, I...
12:57You asked me to be truthful.
12:59What's a deadly rash?
13:01She said it can leave one blind or dead.
13:04That is not quite how I put it.
13:06Blind or dead, she said.
13:07Well, that is true.
13:08There's a mortality rate of about...
13:1030%.
13:14Exactly.
13:15George cried three times.
13:19There was something in my eye.
13:20We held hands until Mary had finished talking.
13:24Well, you're never too young to learn about life.
13:28I think our game is in order, don't you?
13:30I think that's a very good idea.
13:32Yes!
13:33Yes!
13:33I'm first!
13:34But what should we play?
13:36Graces!
13:37Ah.
13:38Let's show Mary how to play Graces.
13:40Yes!
13:41Yay!
13:42Mary-Anne?
13:43Well called, Mary-Anne.
13:45Bravo!
13:46You're Zeretta.
13:48Woo!
13:49Oh!
13:50Oh!
13:51That counts!
13:52It does indeed.
13:53Well done.
13:54It does indeed.
13:55Oh!
13:56Oh, no, Tom!
13:57You'll need to get someone to look at that.
13:59Send it to Blythe, she'll fix it for you.
14:02Ready?
14:03Yay!
14:04Mary-Anne.
14:05Yes!
14:05Well done!
14:07Flare play.
14:08You look like a wizard.
14:10Yes.
14:17Are you sure you won't join in, Mary?
14:19Oh, uh, no.
14:20I'm not good at games.
14:22Oh, that doesn't matter at all.
14:25Yes.
14:27Well, you couldn't possibly be as ungainly as I am.
14:30Really, I'd only spoil it.
14:38George.
14:39Ready?
14:41Ready?
14:43Oh!
14:49Yes, Tom?
14:50Mr. God.
15:11Yes?
15:13Oh, do not look so grave, my dear.
15:18you're not in trouble with the weather getting warmer we're about to become more sociable oh
15:24oh please do not feel any obligation to involve me i should be quite content to stay upstairs
15:28with the children mary we want you to join us but i do not sparkle at dinners
15:37in our house no one is obliged to sparkle then of course but we need to get you properly dressed
15:47oh i thought perhaps tomorrow we could go to the haberdashers and you could pick out some fabrics
15:51i do not really care for dresses well that's a shame but very well
15:59perhaps think about it mary there is a dress allowance as part of your governess wages
16:05i have thought about it and i would very much like to accept your kind offer that's excellent news
16:14oh good night mary and thank you for today
16:26this must be such a change from merit it most certainly is
16:41what do you think of the deep greens we have a soiree coming up now i think
16:47deep green would be perfect mother has always said it's terribly difficult to get any color to work
16:52with my complexion really well perhaps your complexions change because i can see many colors
16:58here which would work well on you but the most important thing being is that you choose fabrics
17:03that you truly like but mother says that mother isn't here
17:12mr gardner oh miss bennett home mr hayward have you brought your jacket to be mended i have just this
17:21minute dropped it off well now that you're here you can make yourself useful miss bennett
17:27needs to choose some dress fabric i find myself quite overwhelmed by the choice well i shall be honest
17:33and say that my experience of picking dress fabric is limited to say the least but i shall try
17:41have you seen the names of these colors we've got uh dust of ruins uh corbeau or flam de bonche
17:50anyone
17:51um i think i shall take the drake's neck with a splash of none key anyone for gaboge oh well
17:59i mean
17:59that's just yellow that one yes yes i think my advice would be to choose the colors that make one
18:07feel
18:08most like oneself and i am sorry not to be of more use i should return to my desk and
18:15a particularly
18:15unexciting land negotiation good day good day oh poor tom he worked so hard really underneath that
18:31light-hearted manner carries the weight of the world on his shoulders now have you decided
18:41i have chosen very well mary
18:47the first is this crimson and then i thought perhaps a spring green trim lovely yes but you will need
18:56two dresses so perhaps china blue hmm do you think a dress in the spring green alone would be garish
19:10what do you think mary some people may think it is wild but i like it then i think you
19:21should
19:21please yourself and not worry what others may think thank you you've done a very good job now
19:57i think the gardeners are out they're buying shoes for the children
20:04oh would you like to play graces well um yes thank you
20:19ready yes
20:23oh
20:26i did it you did natural beginner's luck
20:33right um
20:36ready
20:37one moment
21:12oh
21:13oh
21:14oh
21:20Ready?
21:21Yes.
21:24Oh!
21:26Oh, oh, oh, oh!
21:27Oh!
21:28Erm...
21:29Er...
21:30Yeah, erm...
21:32That's...
21:32That's probably enough, Graces, for today.
21:36Oh, yes, er...
21:39I brought a book for Mrs Barnard.
21:41Oh, of course, yes.
21:42Er...
21:43Ah, poetry.
21:45Do you like poetry, Miss Bennet?
21:47I prefer facts to whimsy.
21:52Whimsy?
21:53I've tried, er, well, Cowper, er, Byron.
21:57Even some Dryden.
21:59But, erm...
22:00Well, it seems to me that it's all just...
22:03words.
22:05What were you expecting?
22:08Are you a scholar, sir?
22:10Er, no.
22:12I'm a barrister.
22:13Junior.
22:14And though the law is my business, poetry is my passion.
22:19What do you like to read?
22:22Er...
22:22Works of non-fiction, really.
22:24Um...
22:24Histories and, er...
22:26And geology.
22:27And what do you like to read for pleasure?
22:31That is reading for pleasure.
22:34There is nothing you like about poetry.
22:41Well...
22:41Some poems are mercifully short.
22:46Well, now that you have thrown down the gauntlet, I will not rest until you have appreciated the merits of
22:53poetry.
22:56I believe that this is the book that will open the heart of Miss Mary Bennet.
23:05Oh.
23:09The garden is at home.
23:10Oh, is it?
23:11Er, yes.
23:12Yes.
23:12Er, well...
23:15I have a coat on.
23:17Oh, Tom!
23:19Oh, Tom!
23:21Oh, Tom!
23:42And we'll need more scallops.
23:44Mrs. Sholly will claim she couldn't possibly before helping herself to seven.
23:49Must be very strange without your family here.
23:53There was always at least one argument about stolen perfume.
24:02Mary, you look lovely.
24:06I'm not sure.
24:10I think we should let your hair fall naturally.
24:13No point trying to force it into curls if it doesn't want to go.
24:21Here.
24:36Cheese.
24:39Cheers.
