06:00Let's go.
06:34Mary!
06:35Welcome.
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, so 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 is well.
07:16Thank you for inquiring.
07:19And how are you, Mary?
07:22It must have been a terrible shock.
07:27It was.
07:30Well, thank you for stepping in at such short notice.
07:33We don't stand on ceremony here, especially with the children, so if you don't mind that, you'll do well with
07:39us.
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!
08:07The Andy's.
08:08The Andy's.
08:11The Andy's.
08:16The Andy's.
08:18The Andy's.
08:19The Andy's.
08:19The Andy's.
08:21The Andy's.
08:21The Andy's.
08:21That's good.
08:22Not so good.
08:24Mary, won't you join us for breakfast?
08:26Oh, no, no, no, sir.
08:27Thank 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 best adapted to its sustenance
09:25and propagation, then in conceiving an indefinite variety among the individuals of that species, we must be assured that, on
09:37the one hand, those which depart most from the best adapted constitution will be the most liable to perish.
09:48You've made him go to sleep.
09:55Let us move on to history, shall we?
09:58Now, in 1492, Christopher Columbus discovered America.
10:04Now, where is America?
10:06Ah, yes, America.
10:09Uh...
10:13Where has Rebecca gone?
10:15There were very clearly three of you in this room when I began looking at the globe, and now there
10:19are two of you.
10:21She vanished.
10:22She's a magician.
10:24Well, magic is nothing but illusion and trickery.
10:26Oh.
10:27Now, where could she be?
10:30Oh!
10:30Tom!
10:31You're here!
10:31Tom!
10:32Can we finish lessons now?
10:33Yes.
10:35Oh, forgive the intrusion.
10:36I came to tell you that dinner is served, and you must be Miss Bennet.
10:42I...
10:42I must be.
10:44Oh, yes, I am.
10:46Tom Hayward.
10:48Friend of the family.
10:55Aren't there normally three of you?
10:56There were three, certainly, but I was looking at America, and when I looked back, it was...
11:11Do you have mice, Miss Bennet?
11:13For if you do, might I suggest you do not keep them in the toy trunk?
11:19Well, I... I wasn't sure.
11:22I thought perhaps mice like toy trunks.
11:25No, you see, in there, they cannot get to their cheese.
11:28Actually, it's a fallacy that mice like cheese.
11:33Of course.
11:34They're much more partial to root vegetables and grains.
11:38Yes.
11:38Indeed.
11:39I'm a rabbit.
11:44Mr...
11:45Hayward?
11:47Mr Hayward.
11:48I am keeping a rabbit in the toy trunk because...
11:54I...
11:56Because rabbits are not at all social creatures.
11:59Exactly.
12:00Yes, they are.
12:05Now, 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, and we've been friends ever since.
12:22You're another of our former lodgers.
12:24Oh.
12:25Yes.
12:26Oh.
12:27What is a revolutionary Republican?
12:34Well, as discussed during the lesson, they're often associated with Jacobinism.
12:40But my point really was...
12:42Sounds like you had a very interesting first day, Miss Bennet.
12:45Well...
12:45Have you read Catherine Cawley, Miss Bennet?
12:49Yes, I have.
12:51Yes.
12:52Mary told us about smallpox, and I shall never sleep again.
12:56Well, you 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.
13:09There's a mortality rate of about...
13:1030%.
13:14Exactly.
13:16George 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!
13:35But what should we play?
13:36Graces!
13:37Ah.
13:38Let's show Mary how to play Graces.
13:40Yes!
13:41Yes!
13:42Mary-Anne?
13:43Well called, Mary-Anne.
13:45Well done.
13:45Bravo!
13:47You're Rebecca!
13:48Woo!
13:49Oh!
13:50Oh!
13:51That counts!
13:52It does indeed.
13:53Well does.
13:54It does indeed.
13:55Oh!
13:57You'll need to get someone to look at that.
13:59Send it to Blythe, she'll fix it for you.
14:02Ready?
14:03Yes!
14:04Mary-Anne.
14:05Yes!
14:05Yes!
14:06Well done!
14:07Flare play.
14:08You look like a wizard.
14:10Yes.
14:17Are you sure you won't join in, Mary?
14:19Oh, er, no.
14:21I'm not good at games.
14:22Oh, that doesn't matter at all.
14:25Yes.
14:25Yes.
14:26Well, you couldn't possibly be as ungainly as I am.
14:30Yeah, really.
14:31I'd only spoil it.
14:38George.
14:39Ready?
14:42Oh!
14:42Oh!
14:49Yes, Dom.
14:50Mr. Gunn.
14:52Oh!
14:53Ah!
15:11Yes?
15:13Mary.
15:16Oh!
15:17Do not look so grave, my dear.
15:18You're not in trouble.
15:20With the weather getting warmer, we're about to become more sociable.
15:24Oh!
15:24Oh, please.
15:25Do not feel any obligation to involve me.
15:26I shall be quite content to stay upstairs with the children.
15:29Mary, we want you to join us.
15:33But I do not sparkle at dinners.
15:37In our house, no one is obliged to sparkle.
15:42Then...
15:43Of course.
15:45But we need to get you properly dressed.
15:47Oh.
15:48I thought perhaps tomorrow we could go to the haberdashers and you could pick out some fabrics.
15:51I do not really care for dresses.
15:54Well, that's a shame, but very well.
15:59Perhaps think about it, Mary.
16:01There is a dress allowance as part of your governess' wages.
16:05I have thought about it.
16:07And I would very much like to accept your kind offer.
16:11That's excellent news.
16:14Well, good night, Mary.
16:16And thank you for today.
16:26This must be such a change for Meritim.
16:29It most certainly is.
16:41What do you think of the deep greens?
16:44We have a soiree coming up.
16:46I think deep green would be perfect.
16:50Mother has always said it's terribly difficult to get any colour to work with my complexion.
16:54Really?
16:55Well, perhaps your complexions change because I can see many colours here which would work well on you.
17:00But the most important thing being is that you choose fabrics that you truly like.
17:07But Mother says that Mother isn't here.
17:13Mrs. Gardiner.
17:14Oh.
17:15Miss Bennet.
17:16Tom!
17:17Mr. Hayward.
17:18Have you brought your jacket to be mended?
17:21I have just this minute dropped it off.
17:22Well, now that you're here, you can make yourself useful.
17:26Miss Bennet needs to choose some dress fabric.
17:29I find myself quite overwhelmed by the choice.
17:32Well, I shall be honest and say that my experience of picking dress fabric is limited.
17:37To say the least.
17:38But I shall try.
17:41Have you seen the names of these colours?
17:44We've got Dust of Ruins, Corbeau or Flamme de Bonche, anyone?
17:51Um, I think I shall take the Drake's neck with a splash of Nunkey.
17:57Anyone for Gabouche?
17:58Well, I mean, that's just yellow, that one.
18:01Yes.
18:02Yes.
18:05I think my advice would be to choose the colours that make one feel most like oneself.
18:10And I am sorry not to be of more use.
18:13I should return to my desk.
18:14And a particularly unexciting land negotiation.
18:19Good day.
18:21Good day.
18:26Oh, poor Tom.
18:28He worked so hard.
18:29Really?
18:30Underneath that light-hearted manor.
18:33Carries the weight of the world on his shoulders.
18:37Now, have you decided?
18:41I have chosen.
18:43Very well, Mary.
18:47The first is this crimson.
18:50And then I thought perhaps a spring green trim.
18:54Lovely.
18:55Yes.
18:56But you will need two dresses.
18:57So perhaps...
19:00China blue?
19:03Hmm.
19:06Do you think a dress in the spring green alone would be garish?
19:10What do you think, Mary?
19:14Some people may think it is wild.
19:16But...
19:18I like it.
19:20Then I think you should please yourself and not worry what others may think.
19:25You've done a very good job.
19:28Now...
19:29Let's go.
19:56Oh...
19:57Gosh!
20:01The gardeners are out.
20:03Buying shoes for the children.
20:05Oh.
20:07Would you like to play graces?
20:11Well, um, yes.
20:19Ready?
20:20Yes.
20:28I did it.
20:30You did.
20:31Natural.
20:32Beginner's luck.
20:34Right, um...
20:36Ready?
20:39Um...
20:40One moment.
20:41Oh.
20:43There.
20:56Let the Temperatures.
20:56One moment.
20:56Two moments...
20:59After...
21:01Two moment.
21:03A great auction.
21:04One moment.
21:06Three moment.
21:07Four moment.
21:09Three moment.
21:20Ready?
21:22Yes.
21:24Oh.
21:25Oh, oh, oh!
21:27Oh!
21:28Um, uh, yeah, um, that's probably enough, gracious, for today.
21:37Oh, um, oh, yes, uh, I brought a book for Mrs Byron.
21:41Oh, of course, yes, uh, uh, poetry.
21:45Do you like poetry, Miss Bennet?
21:47I prefer facts to whimsy.
21:52Whimsy?
21:54I've tried, uh, well, Cowper, uh, Byron, even some Dryden,
21:59but, um, well, it seems to me that it's all just words.
22:05What were you expecting?
22:08Are you a scholar, sir?
22:11Uh, no.
22:12I'm a barrister, junior,
22:14and though the law is my business, poetry is my passion.
22:19What do you like to read?
22:21Uh, works of non-fiction, really.
22:24Um, histories and, uh, and 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.
22:40Well, just some poems are mercifully short.
22:46Well, now that you have thrown down the gauntlet,
22:50I will not rest until you have appreciated the merits of poetry.
22:56I believe that this is the book that will open the heart of Miss Mary Bennet.
23:06Oh.
23:09The garden is at home.
23:10Oh, is it?
23:11Uh, yes.
23:12Yes.
23:12Uh, well, yes.
23:15I have a coat on.
23:17Oh, Tom!
23:42And we'll need more scallops.
23:44Mrs. Shomley will claim she couldn't possibly before helping herself to seven.
23:49Must be very strange without your family here.
23:53No, there was always at least one argument about stolen perfume.
24:02Mary, you look lovely.
24:06I 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.
24:36Cheers.
24:39Cheers.
24:41Cheers.
24:43Cheers.
24:44Cheers.
24:47Cheers.
24:49Cheers.
24:50Cheers.
24:51Cheers.
25:01Um, I mean, that's basically it, but they're awfully fun to hunt.
25:10Good evening. I do not believe we have met. I'm Miss Baxter.
25:16Delighted to meet you, Miss Baxter.
25:17Um, I am Miss Bennet. I have not long moved to London from Hertfordshire.
25:23Ah.
25:24Farnshaw, Mr Farnshaw.
25:30A friend of my mother's died eating those nuts.
25:35One got stuck in his throat and that was it. He was quite dead in minutes.
25:44Oh, I hope I didn't cause any offence.
25:46That was marvellous. Oh, I shall keep that story in mind for when I want to be rid of someone.
25:51Forgive me, it wasn't deliberate.
25:55I hate the first 20 minutes of these evenings.
25:58As do I.
25:59I never know who to talk to and I often find myself saying the wrong things.
26:07Your dress is striking. It looks very well on you.
26:10You really think so? I feel a little bold in it.
26:13Well, you're in London, Miss Bennet.
26:15If you're going to be bold, here is the place to do it.
26:20Perhaps London will be the start of something new for you.
26:23Perhaps it will.
26:25And if you want to be shown around town, I could call on you?
26:38London, it turned out, was a place of learning as much as teaching.
26:43A place of trying new things.
26:47And though I had never liked change, I seemed to be enjoying myself.
26:54Much about me felt different after just one week.
26:59Being here had lifted my spirits.
27:02I felt something long forgotten.
27:05Oh, Alice!
27:06Hope.
27:08Are you looking for someone?
27:12You must tell me all about it in a moment.
27:16Meg, there's a gentleman I'd like you to meet.
27:19We have something of an understanding.
27:22Please may I introduce Mr. Tom Hayward.
27:30We've already met.
27:32Miss Bennet?
27:32Oh, of course, you must have.
27:35Oh, I see you went for the Pomona trip.
27:39It's spring green.
27:40It's quite different to Pomona.
27:42Well, it suits you very well.
27:46Tom!
27:47Excuse us, ladies.
27:48You must come and meet my colleague, Mr. May.
27:52Mr. May!
27:55Mr. Hayward and I met three years ago this spring.
27:58We are hoping to be married next year.
28:01Not everything went exactly as I would have liked.
28:04Come on, Becca.
28:06Oh, please excuse us.
28:08Come, Mary, it'll be fun.
28:10Of course a man such as Mr. Hayward would have secured a match.
28:15But I had made friends, and that was enough.
28:25I did not know what tomorrow would bring.
28:29But for now, at least I had someone to dance with.
28:33I did not know what tomorrow is.
28:36I did not know what tomorrow is.
28:39I did not know what tomorrow is.
