06:34I don't know.
06:52I don't know.
06:54I don't know.
07:20Thank 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.
07:43And do you have all you need?
07:45I do.
08:00Which mountain range is found at the end of your armies?
08:04Oh.
08:05Oh.
08:06The Andes.
08:08The Andes.
08:18Oh.
08:21That's good.
08:22Oh.
08:22Not so good.
08:24Mary.
08:24Won't you join us for breakfast?
08:26Oh, no, no.
08:27No, sir.
08:27Thank you, sir.
08:28I'm not at all hungry this morning.
08:29I shall see the children upstairs.
08:44Mary-Anne, would you like to start?
08:47Miss Bennet, it's a pleasure to meet you.
08:50I am Mary-Anne Gardner, and I'm 11 years old.
08:54It's my pleasure to meet you too, Miss Mary-Anne.
08:59George!
09:02Yes, thank you, George.
09:04And 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 among the individuals of that species,
09:34we must be assured that, on the one hand,
09:38those 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?
10:06Ah, 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.
10:24Oh, magic is nothing but illusion and trickery.
10:26Oh.
10:27Now, where could she be?
10:30Oh!
10:30Tom! You're here!
10:31Tom!
10:32Can we finish lessons now?
10:34Yes.
10:35Oh, forgive the intrusion.
10:36I, er, came to tell you that dinner is served,
10:38and you must be Miss Bennet.
10:41I, er...
10:42I must be.
10:44Oh, yes, I am.
10:46Er, er, Tom Hayward.
10:48Oh.
10:48Friend of the family.
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,
11:15might I suggest you do not keep them in the toy trunk?
11:20Well, I...
11:20I wasn't sure.
11:22I thought perhaps mice like toy trunks.
11:25No, you see, in there,
11:26they cannot get to their cheese.
11:28Actually, it's, er, 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
11:53because...
11:54I...
11:56Because rabbits are not at all social creatures.
11:59Exactly.
12:00Yes, they are.
12:01Oh.
12:05Well, why exactly do you have a new governess?
12:09Is it that you keep eating them?
12:14Um...
12:17Tom helped Edward with the legal matters some years ago,
12:20and 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, er, as discussed during the lesson,
12:38um, 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, er...
12:46Have you read Catherine Macaulay, Miss Bennet?
12:49Yes, I have.
12:51Yes.
12:52Mary told us about smallpox,
12:54and I shall never sleep again.
12:56Well, er, er, 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...
13:10Thirty percent.
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! Yes!
13:33I'm first!
13:35But what should we play?
13:36Graces!
13:38Let's show Mary how to play Graces.
13:41Yes.
13:42Marianne?
13:43Well called, Marianne.
13:45Well done.
13:46You're Rebecca.
13:48Oh!
13:51That counts.
13:52It does indeed.
13:53It 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!
14:06Well 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. I'm not, I'm not good at games.
14:22Oh!
14:22That doesn't matter at all.
14:25Yes.
14:27Well, you couldn't possibly be as ungainly as I am.
14:31Really, I'd only spoil it.
14:38George.
14:40Ready?
14:41Oh!
14:43Oh!
14:49Yes, Dom?
14:50Mr. Gardner.
14:51Oh!
14:53Oh!
14:54Oh!
15:11Oh!
15:13Mary
15:16Oh, do not look so grave, my dear
15:18You're not in trouble
15:20With the weather getting warmer
15:22We're about to become more sociable
15:23Oh, oh please
15:24Do not feel any obligation to involve me
15:26I shall be quite content to stay upstairs
15:28With 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, of course
15:45But we need to get you properly dressed
15:47Oh
15:47I thought perhaps tomorrow we could go to the haberdashers
15:50And you could pick out some fabrics
15:51I do not really care for dresses
15:54Well, that's a shame
15:55But very well
15:59Perhaps think about it, Mary
16:01There is a dress allowance
16:02As part of your governess' wages
16:05I have thought about it
16:07And I would very much like to accept your kind offer
16:10That's excellent news
16:14Well, good night, Mary
16:15And thank you for today
16:25This must be such a change for Meriton
16:29It most certainly is
16:41What do you think of the deep greens?
16:44We have a soiree coming up
16:46And I think deep green would be perfect
16:49Mother has always said it's terribly difficult
16:51To get any colour to work with my complexion
16:54Really?
16:55Well, perhaps your complexions change
16:57Because I can see many colours here
16:58Which would work well on you
17:00But the most important thing being
17:02Is 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
17:23You can make yourself useful
17:26Miss Bennet
17:27Needs to choose some dress fabric
17:29I find myself quite overwhelmed by the choice
17:31Well, I shall be honest
17:33And say that my experience of picking dress fabric is limited
17:36To say the least
17:38But I shall try
17:39Have you seen the names of these colours?
17:44We've got Dust of Ruins
17:48Corbeau
17:49Or Flamme de Bonche
17:50Anyone?
17:52I think I shall take the Drake's neck
17:54With a splash of non-key
17:56Anyone for Gabouche?
17:58Well, I mean, that's just yellow
18:00That one
18:01Yes
18:02Yes
18:04I think my advice would be
18:06To choose the colours that make one feel
18:08Most like oneself
18:10And I am sorry
18:11Not to be of more use
18:12I should return to my desk
18:14And a particularly unexciting land negotiation
18:19Good day
18:20Good day
18:26Oh, poor Tom
18:28He works so hard
18:29Really?
18:30Underneath that light-hearted manner
18:32Carries the weight of the world on his shoulders
18:37Now
18:38Have you decided?
18:41I have chosen
18:43Very well, Mary
18:47The first
18:48Is this crimson
18:49And then I thought perhaps
18:52A spring green trim
18:53Lovely
18:55Yes
18:55But you will need two dresses
18:57So perhaps
19:00China blue
19:02Hmm
19:06Do you think
19:06A dress in the spring green alone
19:08Would 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
19:22And not worry what others may think
19:24Thank you
19:24You've done a very good job
19:26Now
19:28Now
19:28Now
19:55Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
19:57Oh, gosh.
20:01The gardeners are out.
20:03They're buying shoes for the children.
20:06Would you like to play graces?
20:11Well, yes.
20:19Ready?
20:20Yes.
20:24Oh, oh, oh.
20:28I did it.
20:30You did?
20:31Natural.
20:32Beginner's luck.
20:34Right, um, ready?
20:37Mm.
20:38Oh, um, sorry.
20:40Oh.
20:41Oh, my God.
20:41Oh.
20:43Oh.
21:13Oh.
21:14There.
21:19Ah.
21:20Ready?
21:22Yes.
21:24Oh!
21:26Oh!
21:27Oh!
21:27Oh!
21:28Er...
21:29Er...
21:30Er...
21:31Er...
21:32That's...
21:32That's probably enough...
21:34...graces for today.
21:36Yes.
21:37Oh.
21:37Er...
21:38Oh, yes.
21:38Er...
21:39I brought a book for Mrs Barnard.
21:41Oh, of course.
21:41Yes.
21:43Er...
21:43Er...
21:44Poetry.
21:45Do you like poetry, Miss Bennet?
21:47I prefer facts to whimsy.
21:52Whimsy?
21:53I've tried, er...
21:55Well, Cowper.
21:56Er...
21:57Byron.
21:57Even some Dryden.
21:59But, um...
22:00Well, it seems to me that it's all just...
22:03Words.
22:05What were you expecting?
22:08Are you, er...
22:09Scholar?
22:10Sir?
22:11Er...
22:11No.
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...
22:22Er...
22:23Works of non-fiction.
22:23Er...
22:24Um...
22:24Histories and, er...
22:26And geology.
22:27And what do you like to read for pleasure?
22:30That is reading for pleasure.
22:34There is nothing you like about poetry.
22:41Some poems are mercifully short.
22:46Well, now that you have thrown down the gauntlet, I will not rest until you have appreciated
22:52the merit of poetry.
22:56I believe that this is the book that will open the heart of Miss Mary Bennet.
23:05Oh?
23:09The gardeners are home.
23:11Er...
23:11Yes.
23:11Yes.
23:12Er...
23:13Well...
23:14Er...
23:14So, er...
23:16Tom.
23:16Tom!
23:19Tom!
23:22Tom!
23:24Tom?
23:24Tom?
23:26Tom?
23:33Tom!
23:35Tom, Tom, Tom!
23:41And we'll need more scallops. Mrs. Shomley 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.
25:01I 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. I am Miss Bennet. I have not long moved to London from Hertfordshire.
25:24Fanshawe, Mr. Fanshawe.
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.
25:47Oh, 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?
26:37London, it turned out, was a place of learning as much as teaching.
26:43A place of trying new things.
26:46And 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.
27:06Hope.
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.
27:29We've, we've already met.
27:32Oh, Miss Bennet?
27:32Oh, of course, you must have.
27:35Oh, I see you went for the Pomona trim.
27:38Ah, it's, um, spring green. It'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!
27:54Hello!
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.
28:17And 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'm young.
29:01Why now I have you?
29:02Thank you very much.
