00:01.
00:01.
00:01.
01:01It is a hard fate indeed.
01:04Or so my mother taught us.
01:08Mr. Bennet, have you heard Netherfield Park is let at last?
01:13I have not.
01:18Do you want to know who has taken it?
01:21You want to tell me and I have no objection to hearing it.
01:24I would like to know.
01:27It has been lent to a Mr. Bingley, a single man of large fortune, four or five thousand a year.
01:38I heard someone came down on Monday in a chaise and four.
01:43From whom did you hear this?
01:44Girls.
01:45You must prepare yourselves.
01:48Mrs. Long told me he is from the north of England.
01:51He saw Netherfield Park, fell in love with it and snapped it up straight away.
01:55In order to understand my mother's enthusiasm for this stranger's arrival, we must start at the beginning.
02:04With cake.
02:07In Meriton, England.
02:13Where a wealthy boy met beautiful girl.
02:18Father, meet mother.
02:20Sadly, the happiness of this union was to be undone by an archaic entail that meant only a male heir
02:26could inherit my father's estate.
02:28And what followed was girl after girl after girl after girl after girl.
02:40That's his fortune and her beauty were worthless.
02:45Mother spent her days trying to involve father in how to overcome their dire situation.
02:50But father hid in his newspaper, indifferent to the cause.
02:54Why should he engage when the time comes?
02:57I'll be dead anyway.
03:24I'll be dead anyway.
03:28Girls, it would be enough to save us all from destitution.
03:34Although I had not found my own best quality.
03:37Oh, yes.
03:39I was quite sure that I would.
03:41My fault, Mary.
03:42Mary, until the day my mother's true opinion of me was confirmed.
03:47Mary has an awfully ruddy complexion.
03:50She does not have the complexion of her sisters, that is true.
03:53And she is clumsy.
03:56And she is clumsy.
03:57Ungainly.
03:57Maladroite, as they say.
04:00Four good marriages will have to do.
04:03I only hope she does not ruin her sister's chances.
04:24I do.
04:31I only hope she does not ruin her sister's chances.
04:45If you're not the beautiful one, the quick-witted one, or the ones that are good at games and full
04:52of youthful energy, then who are you?
04:56And what can you do if you're the odd one out?
05:01Is it possible you'll ever find a way to fit in?
05:08Worse, I think.
05:23Worse still.
05:25Do not fret, Miss Bennet.
05:38Have we found it?
05:40I think we have, Mr. Sparrow.
05:42Oh, thank goodness for that.
05:52You see, the lenses here correct your vision by bending light rays.
05:56Well, I never.
05:58Hm.
06:13You really do look very well in your spectacles.
06:18Especially when you smile.
06:22Ah, I do not think my mother will agree.
06:25But I have a great passion for reading, and I would have been sad to stop.
06:32I hope they will help you better enjoy the upcoming Meriton Assembly.
06:35An assembly?
06:36Yes.
06:37In a month.
06:38I heard this morning.
06:40My sisters will be pleased.
06:44Perhaps I shall see you there.
06:46Hm.
06:52Miss Mary, you ought to get on.
06:54I'll call till...
06:55I'll settle affairs here.
06:59And thank you, Mrs. Sparrow.
07:08I have news!
07:12There's going to be an assembly in Meriton in a month.
07:15We know.
07:15Oh.
07:16I'm going to be the one to tell Mama.
07:18This will mark my first assembly.
07:21It's my first venture into society.
07:25So it will.
07:29How might I secure a partner for dancing?
07:31I've always wondered.
07:33Oh, Mary, I'm sure your clever mind can work out something as simple as dance partners.
07:37Do not fret.
07:39Not?
07:39Not fretting.
07:43Lizzie.
07:50Lizzie.
07:50Lizzie.
07:51Yes, I thought it was.
07:52Yes, yes, yes.
07:52Jane, you've got some fun.
08:00What's it going on?
08:01What's it going on?
08:02Oh, look.
08:03Oh, look.
08:03Well, have fun, Lizzie.
08:07I'm going to fill my card with dances.
08:09Jane, do you think I shall be allowed to dance?
08:10Mary, move.
08:12Do you hope you're not going to stand this close at the assembly?
08:15Oh, we should have taken the long route.
08:17Oh.
08:18These are my good boots.
08:20Oh.
08:21All for you for wearing them.
08:23Oh.
08:25Dang.
08:26What are you going to wear?
08:27The green dress.
08:28The green.
08:29Do you think russet would be too harsh for my complexion?
08:33I don't see why it should.
08:34It would match my eyes, I suppose.
08:37Your eyes are green.
08:39You are so inattentive.
08:45Mr. Thompson told me himself I was the first to know that the ball is confirmed.
08:49We were the first?
08:50I was the first.
08:51You were stood a little behind me.
08:52It is wonderful.
08:54What will I wear?
08:55Are Kitty and Lydia allowed to attend the ball, Father?
08:58Why would we not be?
08:58I was the one that found out about it.
09:00Am I allowed?
09:02Jane, Lizzie, you will of course go.
09:05And Mary.
09:06Father, I shall die if I do not go.
09:08I'll probably die too.
09:09I very much doubt that.
09:10Mr. Bennet, Kitty and Lydia will also need to find husbands.
09:15After Jane and Lizzie, of course.
09:20I don't see what the fuss is all about.
09:22Those horrible, sweaty affairs.
09:25Mary, you will attend.
09:28Oh.
09:30Oh, well, of course, Mother, if you wish.
09:34Lady Lucas and I will need someone to fetch us our drinks.
09:36As long as I am not expected to attend.
09:38Mr. Bennet.
09:39I told you, I will not attend another of those insufferable muddy little dancers.
09:45I wonder if Mr. Bingley will be going to the Meryton Assembly.
09:48Oh, he must be.
09:50Who would miss it?
09:52Me, apparently.
09:53You shall all go to the ball.
09:55As long as I am obliged to hear no more about it.
09:59I shall never be rid of you otherwise.
10:02Perhaps I shall dance with Bingley too.
10:04I'm me.
10:04This excitement over a man you've never set eyes on.
10:07Quite ridiculous.
10:07Oh, Mary, we're only indulging ourselves.
10:17Mary is wearing spectacles.
10:19What on earth?
10:21Very good.
10:22I hope you find them most useful, Mary.
10:25I do, Father.
10:26Mr. Bennet, did you know about this?
10:29We discussed this at length.
10:31Mary was to visit the optician.
10:33Yes.
10:33But I did not know that you would actually need to wear glasses.
10:37You seem to forget, my dear, that I wear spectacles myself.
10:41But she is a woman.
10:43Nevertheless, she ought to be able to see.
10:46I think they look very well.
10:51Potatoes, Mary.
10:55In case she couldn't see them.
10:58I think you're very brave to be prepared to look so ugly.
11:01Lydia.
11:01But Papa, who is going to dance with Mary with those things on her face?
11:04Yes.
11:05Pleased to be able to read.
11:08Oh, I do hope you are to meet him.
11:10Surely we must.
11:12Spectacles indeed.
11:14I wonder if it is that.
11:16It is a shame.
11:17It is a shame.
11:17It is a shame.
11:18It is a shame.
11:19Hello, Lizzie.
11:20Mama, Kitty and I will need new dresses before.
11:23Here.
11:32What is the place?
11:33Let's go.
11:35Let's go.
11:39Here.
11:42Here.
11:51Hi.
12:10Oh, that's...
12:11Maybe I could help you pick out a dress
12:14at the Meryton Assembly, Miss Mary.
12:16Oh, hell.
12:19What am I to do at a dance?
12:22Dance?
12:24Oh, what if...
12:26no one wants to dance with me?
12:29Then you'll eat lots of ices.
12:32Such fripperies are not for me.
12:34I wonder, Miss Mary, if you don't see yourself clearly.
12:37If you're saying I don't bear comparison to my sisters,
12:39I've known that for years.
12:41A daffodil might look plain next to a lily,
12:44but on its own there is much to be admired.
12:47Now I am tall and yellow.
12:50Miss Mary?
12:52I wonder if you wouldn't be a little happier
12:55if you went out in the world
12:57and saw yourself how other people see you
13:00outside of your family.
13:05Well, that's decided.
13:07I am picking you out a new dress for the Assembly.
13:12And I will not hear another word on the subject.
13:26Help!
13:28I lost my ribbon!
13:32Found her!
13:39Madam, please remain still, if you can.
13:49Does the gold make me look like...
13:54A little.
13:57Kitty, what is it?
13:59Those are my books, Lydia.
14:00I cannot treat my jewellery box.
14:02I need something to stand on.
14:04This is important, Mary.
14:06You need to start getting ready, Miss Mary.
14:16Jane is first.
14:18That's not fair, I'm always last.
14:21Mary, you're last.
14:25Do you think I'll be able to dance on it?
14:28Does it still hurt?
14:29Yes.
14:29It was two weeks ago.
14:31I know.
14:33Should we eat beforehand?
14:35Perhaps a very small meal.
14:36And don't drink too much.
14:38But what if I'm thirsty?
14:39Lydia, I don't suppose you want to relieve yourself behind a screen in front of everyone?
14:43Lizzie!
14:56Well, sir.
14:59I mean, when I-I was just, I think we're a lot of things.
14:59I drank in bed.
15:05I was just gonna run away.
15:12Or she is, of course.
15:13But it seems to be very hard.
15:20Is it too fine for me, do you think?
15:23You look very handsome in it.
15:37Peggy, we have to take him apart from you.
15:39We have, we have, Lillian.
15:40We have to take him apart from you.
15:42Not in that sense.
16:09Not in that sense.
16:41Not in that sense.
16:56I like your dress, Mary.
16:59Oh, Charlotte.
17:02What a route.
17:03I swear, the crowd gets bigger every season.
17:05You should limit entry to those young ladies fortunate enough with secured partners.
17:10I thought the very same thing.
17:34Oh, my God.
17:46Mr. Bingley, welcome.
17:48These are my sisters, Louisa, and this is Caroline.
17:52This is Mr. Hurst and Mr. Darcy.
17:55And if I may present, Mrs. Bennet.
18:00Mrs. Jane Bennet, Mrs. Elizabeth Bennet, Kitty and Lydia.
18:12Oh, and this is Miss Mary Bennet.
18:19The most accomplished girl in the whole neighborhood.
18:22That is a great achievement, to be sure.
18:25Study clearly trumps all other considerations in your mind.
18:29What an example to us all.
18:39If I could be so good, I'd like to ask you if it stops.
18:42Oh, help me, don't wait here.
18:52Oh, be ready.
19:23You will not believe the insufferable company that Mr. Bingley keeps.
19:28What has happened?
19:29I overheard, quite accidentally, Mr. Bingley talking to that conceited gentleman lent against
19:35the wall there, a Mr. Darcy.
19:39Who said of me, she is tolerable, but not handsome enough to tempt me.
19:54Around we go!
20:00Excuse me, Miss Bennet.
20:04I do not mean to intrude, but it is very bad for your eyes to screw them up in such
20:08a fashion.
20:09Mr. Sparrow.
20:11Perhaps I may be permitted to help you find what you're looking for.
20:15I was looking for, uh, my sisters.
20:20Take his hand.
20:23I'm quite exhausted from all the dancing.
20:26I just chose to sit this one out.
20:29That is a shame.
20:32I was going to ask if you would do me the honor of standing up with me for the next
20:35dance.
20:37Actually, I'm now feeling much rested.
20:39And I would be delighted.
20:41Well, then, I thank you.
20:44Oh, yes.
20:47Shall we remain here until the next set of schools?
20:49Of course.
20:50That's exactly what I thought.
20:52Yeah.
21:01How are your spectacles?
21:03Very well.
21:04Yes.
21:04Um, unable to study for hours without this year.
21:07I am delighted to hear that.
21:10My turn.
21:16Perhaps you could recommend a book to me.
21:18What do you read with such enjoyment?
21:23Well, Mrs. Catherine Macaulay has written a wonderful account of British history.
21:27It's a fascinating read.
21:29I will seek it out.
21:30Are you a scholar, sir?
21:32I like to read, but science rather than history.
21:35I have a plan to study medicine in London.
21:38Barts or maybe Morpheus.
21:41What a noble ambition.
21:43But it is not a thing widely known.
21:45I have not mentioned it to anyone before you.
21:49I shall speak of it to no one.
23:02I'm regretting visiting the supper table so early.
23:05I should have had less oyster patties.
23:09It's fewer.
23:11It's fewer oyster patties.
23:16Here we go!
23:29Here we go!
23:39Here we go!
23:41Here we go!
23:53Here we go!
23:58Goodbye!
24:02Would you like a cold drink, Miss Bennet?
24:04Oh, yes, that's an excellent idea. Thank you.
24:19It looks as though you are enjoying yourself, Mary.
24:23Your partner is the young John Sparrow, isn't he?
24:27Yes, the optician's son.
24:30And you have danced with him twice.
24:35Mary, you are very young, and perhaps do not fully appreciate how things are understood.
24:42If you are to dance with him again, it will be remarked upon.
24:45Two dances in succession suggest a liking, three might imply something more.
24:53I'm very happy dancing with him.
25:08I see that you have stood up twice with the Sparrow boy.
25:12Yes, Mama.
25:15You will not dance with him again.
25:21But, Mother, he's been most attentive. He's quite the gentleman.
25:26Mary, his father, owns a shop.
25:30Yes?
25:32With a bell?
25:36Mother, I have danced with him twice. I have no wish to marry him.
25:40You may not object to lowering yourself, but I will not have you ruin your sister's chances of a match.
25:47I have no wish.
26:09Would you care to dance again, Miss Bennet?
26:12Once we have finished our ices.
26:15Mr. Sparrow, I am afraid that I shall...
26:20I shall not be able to stand up with you again this evening.
26:23Oh.
26:25But I thought...
26:27I thought...
26:30I hope I have not offended you.
26:31No, no, no. Not at all, sir. I've...
26:34Oh, I've... I've...
26:35Very much enjoyed...
26:38Dancing with you. It's, um...
26:41That is to say, that, um...
26:45My mother is...
26:47Concerned.
26:49For my sisters.
26:51And I.
26:52Um...
26:53It's important that we make an...
26:54Uh...
26:55Appropriate...
26:56Social...
26:57Um...
26:58One might say, uh...
26:59Financially, um...
27:01Well...
27:02A suitable match.
27:04Miss Bennet, there is no need for an explanation.
27:07I shall not pursue the matter.
27:08I've...
27:09Enjoyed.
27:09I've enjoyed my time.
27:11Um...
27:11Good evening to you.
27:15I'm sorry.
27:16I'm...
27:17Sorry.
27:17You're sorry.
27:27Uh...
27:29Of course...
27:30Please.
27:32Uh...
27:41Uh...
27:43Uh...
27:44Uh...
27:46Uh...
27:47Uh...
27:47Uh...
27:47Uh...
27:47Uh...
27:49James stood up with him twice.
27:52I had little time for his friend.
27:55Please do not hold that against Mr. Bingley.
27:57She'll be able to go again soon.
27:58Yes.
27:59I danced with tea soldiers.
28:01They're not very good with faces,
28:02so I'm not sure how many times I stood up with anyone.
28:05Ew!
28:06As my mother and sisters happily dissected
28:09every moment of the ball,
28:10I felt a terrible sense of shame.
28:13I had caused hurt to a man
28:15whose only crime was being kind to me.
28:21Who was I?
28:23A coward who lacked the courage
28:25to follow her own inclinations?
28:28It was time to find my own way.
28:32To look for a new version of myself
28:34as a serious-minded woman.
28:38From now on,
28:40knowledge and reason would be my guide.
28:42No more ribbons,
28:44ball gowns,
28:45or dance cards.
28:47The old Mary would be no more.
28:50I would transform into the intellectual one.
28:54That was how I would stand out
28:55as the other Bennet sister.
29:00Thanks,
29:01For the years,
29:01I feel like I've been at work
29:12for some of my внимание,
29:12Of course!
29:13I've been doing good for the first time.
29:13I've been doing a good job.
29:13But I'm not doing a good job.
29:14I'm not doing much of it.
29:15I'm not doing well.
29:16I'm doing a good job.
29:19My twinhood exchange!
29:20I'm doing a good job!
29:21It's all right.
29:23It's all right!
29:25I'm doing my best!
29:27You
