00:21The anxiety I felt over my mother's sudden illness was quite overwhelming.
00:27Losing one parent had upturned my life. To lose the other was unthinkable.
00:37Though my mother's presence had always loomed large in my life, I could not imagine myself without her.
00:47Top of the stairs, Miss Bennet.
00:56To lose the other is no one.
00:56To lose the other is no one, Miss Bennet.

06:20A letter for you.
06:37Mary, where on earth have you been all this time?
06:41I was walking the dog, Mama.
06:44Please.
07:00Who's the letter from, Mary?
07:02From one of my friends in London.
07:05What friend is that, Mary?
07:07Lydia.
07:09What friend is that, Mary?
07:14Her name is Miss Baxter.
07:16Anne Baxter.
07:17I've never heard of Miss Baxter.
07:18Then she surely does not exist.
07:20She most probably does not.
07:21Lydia is being most unkind.
07:52I've never heard of Miss Baxter.
08:11Something seems to be troubling you, Mary.
08:14You seem full of concerns every time we mention London.
08:17Do I?
08:20I thought you would be eager to return.
08:26Does Mother's dog in any way remind you of Mother?
08:34Oh, Lizzie.
08:38I embarrassed myself terribly when I left London.
08:42Caroline Bingley was there.
08:43She was determined to humiliate me.
08:45And I left in such a flurry.
08:49I smashed a bell jar of great sentimental value to its owner,
08:54a new friend, Mr Ryder.
08:56And everyone stared.
08:59Mary.
09:00No one else will have given it a second thought.
09:03It will seem worse to you, I'm sure.
09:06What person has not done something regrettable in their lives?
09:09You.
09:10You.
09:11Jane.
09:12Kitty.
09:13Lydia.
09:13Lydia?
09:15Oh, no.
09:16No.
09:17Lydia has.
09:19I can assure you, we all have.
09:23Anne wrote to tell me not to worry.
09:26You see?
09:27Mm.
09:28She's become a dear friend.
09:29She has something of an understanding with another good friend of mine.
09:34Um, Mr. Tom Haywood.
09:38Mr. Haywood is...
09:41He's, uh, he's just the kind, kindest man.
09:45I see.
09:48And have you met any gentlemen that have taken your eye?
09:52Me?
09:52No.
09:53Oh, no.
09:54No.
09:56London, it's actually entirely without any eligible men.
10:00I don't think I ever believe I'm not...
10:02I'm not really the marrying sort.
10:04Nonsense, Mary.
10:14A visitor for Miss Mary Bennet.
10:20Mr. Ryder!
10:22What are you doing here?
10:24Miss Bennet.
10:26I hope you and your family won't consider this a great imposition, but...
10:30You left London with such haste.
10:32I was most worried about your mother and...
10:34Wanted to offer my support in your hour of meet.
10:39How do you do, Mr. Ryder?
10:42Mrs. Bennet?
10:45Why...
10:46It is a pleasure to see you looking so well.
10:48Oh.
10:49I usually look much better than this.
10:52Though my recovery has been quite extraordinary.
10:56I am.
10:56I'm glad to hear it.
11:01Miss Bennet, won't you introduce me to your sisters?
11:04Uh, uh...
11:05Yes, this is Mrs. Elizabeth Darcy.
11:09This is Mrs. Kitty Boncock.
11:11How do you do?
11:12Mrs. Jane Bingley and Mrs. Lydia Wickham.
11:15Enchanted to meet you all.
11:16How do you know Mary?
11:19Mrs. Bennet and I met at a soiree in London and...
11:22...share a similar taste in despicable crime pamphlets.
11:27Oh!
11:29Anyway, I was en route to visit my Aunt Lady Catherine de Burr...
11:33...and wanted to pay my respects.
11:35Well, let us not stand upon ceremony.
11:39Elizabeth will arrange for us to take tea in the garden.
11:43Mr. Ryder, do join us.
11:44No, I'm sure Mr. Ryder will have more important matters to attend to.
11:49I have time.
11:52Are you well enough, Mamoire?
11:54Yes, thank you, Jane. I am perfectly well enough.
11:58Mary, take Mr. Ryder to the garden.
12:01Lydia will deal with the dog.
12:04What?
12:04Mr. Ryder, if this is about...
12:06Come along, Mr. Ryder.
12:11I have always felt that what a lady puts in her garden is so terribly important.
12:17Yes.
12:18Roses, of course.
12:19Of course.
12:19Your favourite flower?
12:21Well, I must know.
12:22Well, I must know.
12:23Well, I must know.
12:25Well, I must know.
12:31My turn!
12:36I see you forgot to mention Mr. Ryder in your reports from London.
12:40You also forgot to mention how handsome he is.
12:44I mean, I've not really noticed his looks, I'm sure.
12:48He's come an awfully long way to see you.
12:51He's probably just thirsty.
12:53And nearby.
12:56What?
12:57Oh, you must stay with us, Mr. Ryder.
13:01Especially with the weather turning as it may well do.
13:03Do you not agree, Lizzie?
13:04You would be most welcome, Mr. Ryder.
13:07That is very kind.
13:09Come, Miss Bennet.
13:10Show us your skills.
13:17That's not what I wanted to do.
13:21Excellent!
13:22Well done, Mary!
13:24Yes!
13:25Bravo!
13:26I agree.
13:28Well done.
13:30I was sorry to see you leave London in such a hurry.
13:36Sir Ryder, have...
13:39Have you come here to discuss, you know, the...
13:44Yes!
13:45Yes, Miss Bennet.
13:46I believe I have.
13:47I've been wondering whether to write to you on the subject.
13:50Oh, I wouldn't expect you to lead the conversation, Miss Bennet.
13:54Mr. Ryder, are you here to talk about...
13:57I'll catch you.
13:58...the bell jar?
14:00The bell jar?
14:01What did you say?
14:03Miss Bennet!
14:05Please, do not trouble yourself over that.
14:07But it was your father's.
14:09I thought you'd be upset.
14:11Not at all.
14:11Please, think no more of it.
14:24It is a pleasure to meet your family.
14:28Yes, my sisters are exceptional.
14:31I know.
14:33As are you, Miss Bennet.
14:35Oh, no.
14:36I am much more...
14:40I find it most refreshing that you do not fawn over potential husbands,
14:45or have your mind constantly set on finding a match.
14:51Well, no.
14:52No, I don't really...
14:54I don't give it much thought.
14:56You lack artifice.
14:58Your qualities shine out.
14:59They're not corrupted by the false polish of the world.
15:04Actually, sir, observations of a very, very personal nature.
15:09Well, I have a very low opinion of the petty rules to which we submit ourselves in the name of
15:14good manners.
15:15Did you know that?
15:16I think you may have mentioned it once or twice.
15:20I believe, Miss Bennet, that our inability to say what we mean is one of the great curses of our
15:27age.
15:27We hide behind a thousand disguises that we like to call politeness.
15:33Hmm.
15:49Mr. Darcy sends his apologies.
15:52He has a seasonal headache.
15:53Oh.
15:54Hmm.
15:55Mr. Ryder, tell us about yourself.
15:58Mary mentioned you are an avid reader.
16:01Oh, er, of poetry perhaps.
16:04I find longer works are usually not for me.
16:07Really?
16:07I think the brevity of poetry is one of its principal attractions.
16:11I agree.
16:13Wholeheartedly.
16:14I only wish I had the fine mind of your sister.
16:17Miss Bennet has such an astute understanding of a wide range of literature.
16:22She does. She does.
16:24Yes.
16:25I do not know whether she gets it from me or her father.
16:30From you, Mother, I am sure.
16:32Oh.
16:33There are very few people who have the insight of Miss Bennet.
16:37I could talk to you all day.
16:40I must admit London has been a little grey without you.
16:45Oh, no.
16:47Are you joking?
16:49No.
16:49There are many interesting minds in London.
16:52All eager for thoughtful conversation.
16:54None as interesting as yours.
17:09Hello?
17:12Mother.
17:14I came to wish you good night.
17:20Here.
17:34Mr. Ryder would make an excellent match.
17:45i wonder what kind of endowment he has i do not know mama a sizable one i'm sure

19:14what are you reading miss bennett
19:15four dice's sermons to young women

19:41what are you talking about
19:45what are you talking about
19:46what are you talking about
19:47barry sounds serious
19:48she is boring him i know it
19:50i think you should read mrs mcauley
19:52she will help you to better understand the world
19:55i am no good at all at wasting my energy on anything that does not either move or please
20:02me
20:02i think that is a shame
20:03i think that is a shame sir
20:10you know my father was a scholar
20:13he devoted all his time to studying insects
20:16winged beetles mostly
20:18of course
20:19yes the
20:20beetle in the jar
20:21it's fascinating stuff
20:24really
20:26i'm not so sure but
20:28it occupied his every waking hour
20:32he rarely emerged from his study
20:36we hardly ever saw him
20:40when i was 15 years old
20:47he died quite suddenly
20:50oh
20:52i'm sorry i'm sorry
20:55a few days after his death
20:58i sat in his dark study and
21:02i thought about all the hours he had spent in there
21:06away from his family
21:09away from life
21:10and for what
21:11for your father must have derived
21:13a great deal of pleasure from his work
21:16perhaps
21:18but i think i learnt more about the point of human existence in that moment than my father learnt in
21:23a lifetime of study
21:25from then on i devoted myself to the pursuit of joy
21:32tell me miss benet

23:35there we go
23:37now
23:37i've been thinking
23:39about your argument
23:41that uh
23:41that we should say more honestly what we think and feel
23:45ah
23:45excellent
23:46i knew you'd agree
23:48oh
23:49i don't know that i do
23:50i mean surely even you must admit
23:53there may be occasions when
23:55well for all manner of reasons
23:57some things are best left unsaid
23:58i cannot concur
24:00uh
24:01i intend to live my life by bolder principles
24:03in fact
24:04that is why i came here
24:06to put that belief into practice
24:08oh really
24:10yes
24:10i came here to commit the great impropriety
24:13of telling you honestly
24:14what i think of you
24:16ah
24:18mr rider i can assure you there's no need
24:20i attempted to scribble a few lines but
24:22but then i thought of
24:24some verses of mr wordsworth that
24:27captured your spirit perfectly
24:30may i be allowed to recite them to you
24:35of course mr rider please
24:41she dwelt among
24:42here
24:43excuse me
24:46no

24:56she dwelt
24:57among the untrodden ways
24:59beside the springs of dove
25:02a maid
25:03whom there were none to praise
25:06and very few to love
25:09a violet
25:10by a mossy stone
25:11half hidden from the eye
25:15fair as a star when only one
25:18shining in the sky
25:26i think you see me as a lonely figure
25:30i was brought up in hartfordshire sir
25:32so the road to london was barely five miles away
25:35it is possible to feel oneself alone even in such close proximity to town
25:39yes but
25:40in my village
25:41it was quite untrue to say
25:43that there were none to praise and very few to love
25:46there were scores of people
25:48very eager to praise my sisters
25:50perhaps living with your family in meryton
25:53kept you
25:55half hidden from the eye
25:58but now you've broken out on your own
26:01you can be seen at last as you deserve
26:04fair as a star when only one
26:07is shining in the sky
