Short filmTranscript
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.
13:11Mr Hayward.
13:14Mr Hayward.
13:16Mr Hayward.
13:18Mr Hayward.
13:19Mr Hayward.
13:21Mr Hayward.
13:22Come 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
13:56if 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
14:12really I'm sure Mr. Hayward felt that they were
14:17did he
14:21goodnight Mary
14:42the landscape
15:03you can't
15:101010 Abbey
15:11that is my favourite
15:13I am quite fed up with it
15:16does not easily give up its secrets
15:21would you read it to me
15:25from where you are
15:28oh
15:30well
15:42in hours of weariness
15:45sensations sweet
15:47felt in the blood and felt along the heart
15:51and
15:52passing even into my purer mind
15:57with tranquil restoration
16:01feelings too of unremembered
16:03unremembered pleasure
16:04would you mind
16:04could you read on
16:05I'd just like to take some notes
16:07on that
16:08last bit
16:13I will read on
16:14but perhaps
16:14you could try not to worry about notes
16:16Miss Bennet
16:32for I've learned to look on nature
16:36not as in the hour of thoughtless youth
16:40but hearing oftentimes
16:44still sad music of humanity
16:48nor harsh nor grating
16:50though of ample power
16:51to chasten and subdue
16:54and I have felt
16:59presence that disturbs me
17:01with the joy of elevated thoughts
17:09what do you think
17:13yes no
17:16Mr. Worsworth is
17:18well he's explaining our
17:20connection to nature
17:21and
17:24to all of this
17:27and how that connection
17:31grows
17:31as 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
18:20Miss Bennet
18:21I would like you to know
18:22that it was something of a relief
18:24to end my understanding
18:25with Miss Baxter
18:26we were quite young
18:27when we made our agreement
18:29and over that time
18:30my feelings had changed
18:33recently I found that they had changed
18:34quite significantly
18:36and I hope
18:40I hope that you'd feel the same way
18:47ahoy
18:49ahoy there
18:52ahoy
18:54is that Ryder
18:57what is he doing here
18:58William Ryder

19:02oh he is absolutely typical of that man
19:05and an impatient and ill thought
19:06Mr. Ryder please be careful
19:14what a beautiful day

19:49yes
19:50Miss Bennet
19:51could you get an oar please
19:52yes of course
19:56no that's not quite

20:24well we'll have to swim back

20:40I'm afraid you're going to have to put in more effort than that
20:43this isn't easy
20:46yes well
20:47we wouldn't be in this situation
20:49if you'd have waited I'm sure like any other gentleman

21:22Mr. Ryder
21:23Mr. Gardner

21:30and when I heard Tom was in the lakes
21:32well I could hardly resist
21:33how lovely to see you Mr. Ryder
21:36what is this legal matter that simply could not wait

22:43well I have never been anywhere so wet and muddy in all my life
22:47and what is that smell

22:50Miss Bingley that is the smell of fresh air
22:53Miss Bennet
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
23:06Louisa
23:07Mr Hurst
23:08right I will change
23:09and meet you all for supper
23:12by the fire to warm us up
23:17and also excuse me
23:19Miss Bennet
23:23Mary
23:27sorry
23:27I don't want to look forward to our climb tomorrow
23:31as am I
23:32I've arranged for the guide to meet us here
23:34in 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
23:46before undertaking such a climb
23:48of course
23:49Mr Hayward would rather confine us to smooth lakes and calm views
23:52I would just be happy to make it through the day
23:54without one of your particular adventures
23:58what about you Miss Bingley
24:00Mrs Hurst
24:01will you join us
24:02it is a difficult climb
24:04a 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
24:16do you read poetry
24:18Miss 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
24:31I think the guide will be able to give us a better estimate
24:34Mr Ryder I am
24:35oh you're sure quite
24:37may I
24:51perhaps you and I might walk together
24:54tomorrow
24:55away from the crowd
24:58I'd very much like that
25:03and at the top of the mountain
25:04we might finish
25:05that conversation that we started
25:08on the boat
25:15Tom
25:16shall we discuss provisions for the climb
25:20good night Miss Bennet
25:24excuse me I just
25:28Miss Bennet
25:30I have been wanting to speak to you
25:32to apologize
25:34for my proposal at Pemberley
25:39please think no more of it
25:41I now see a way in which it is possible for us to have all that
25:46and still conform
25:50I'd hope to see you again in London but
25:54I found you here and that must mean something
25:59my situation has changed somewhat
26:02and
26:03Mr Ryder
26:03we need your knowledge of the mountains to settle an argument
26:07one moment
26:11Miss Bennet
26:12the top of Scarfell Pike is
26:14the most beautiful place I have ever seen
26:20once we get there
26:22I will make amends to you
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
26:50I am not one man
26:51I was going to make my own way in the woods
26:57but I had a great interest to see it
26:58I am not going to be able to see her
27:01I am not going to be able to see her
27:11because she has been able to see her
27:11If I don't know her
27:13I am not going to see her
27:15You are going to be able to see her
