00:00Thank you for listening.
00:45Thank you for listening.
01:00The pain is a hard fate indeed.
01:04Or so my mother taught us.
01:08Mr. Bennet, have you heard?
01:10Netherfield 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 led 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.
01:52He 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.
02:17Father.
02:18Mm-hmm.
02:19Meet 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.
02:31After girl.
02:32What was that?
02:33After girl.
02:35After girl.
02:38After 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?
02:55When the time comes...
02:57I'll be dead anyway.
03:00Our mother, not known for giving up easily, found a chink of light.
03:05A saving grace.
03:07Each of her children possessed a certain je ne sais quoi.
03:11Be it Jane's beauty.
03:15Lizzie's wit.
03:18Kitty's good humour.
03:19Or Lydia's...
03:21Spirits.
03:24If she could secure advantageous marriages for each of us girls, it would be enough to save us all from
03:30destitution.
03:33Although I had not found my own best quality, I was quite sure that I would.
03:41My fault, Mary.
03:43Until 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.
03:54And she is clumsy.
03:56Ungainly.
03:58Maladroite, as they say.
04:00Four good marriages will have to do.
04:03I only hope she does not ruin her sister's chances.
04:07Mrs.
04:14Mrs.
04:19Mrs.
04:21Mrs.
04:22Mrs.
04:33Mrs.
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 and 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
05:22worse still do not fret Miss Bennet
05:38have we found it I think we have Mr. Sparrow oh thank goodness for that
05:51you see the lenses here correct your vision by bending light rays
05:56well I never
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 but I have a great passion for reading and I I
06:28would have been sad to stop
06:31I hope they will help you better enjoy the upcoming Meriton assembly
06:35an assembly yes in a month I heard this morning
06:40my sisters will be pleased
06:44perhaps I shall see you there
06:52Miss Mary you ought to get on
06:54oh of course he'll I'll settle affairs here
06:56thank you thank you and thank you Mr. Sparrow
07:08I have news
07:12there's going to be an assembly in Meriton in a month
07:14we know I'm going to be the one to tell Mama
07:18this will mark my first assembly
07:22my first
07:23venture into society
07:25so it will
07:29how might I secure a partner for dancing I've always wondered
07:32oh Mary I'm sure your clever mind
07:35can work out something as simple as dance partners
07:37do not fret
07:39not fretting
07:40I'm not fretting
07:50yes I thought it was
07:51yes I thought it was
07:52do you think you are something
08:00what's the way
08:01I've never thought it was such a ball
08:02of course it will
08:03we'll have fun Lizzy
08:07I'm going to fill my card for dancing
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?
08:15We should have taken the long route.
08:18These are my good boots.
08:21I'm all for you for wearing them.
08:25Dan.
08:26What are you going to wear?
08:27I'm going to wear the green dress.
08:28The green dress.
08:30Do you think russet would be too harsh for my complexion?
08:33I don't see why it should.
08:35It would match my eyes, I suppose.
08:37Your eyes are green.
08:39You are so inattentive.
08:45Mr Thompson told me himself
08:47I was the first to know that the ball is confirmed.
08:49We were the first.
08:50I was the first. You 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?
09:03Jane, Lizzie, you will of course go.
09:05Anne-Marie.
09:06Father, I shall die if I do not go.
09:08I'll probably die too.
09:09I very much doubt that.
09:10Mr Bennett, 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 Bennett.
09:39I told you, I will not attend another of those insufferable muddy little dancers.
09:44Oh.
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 is quite 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 Bennett, did you know about this?
10:29We discussed this at length.
10:31Mary was to visit the optician.
10:33Yes, but 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.
10:55I think she couldn't see them.
10:58I think you're very brave to be prepared to look so ugly.
11:01Did you?
11:01But Papa, who is going to dance with Mary with those things on her face?
11:04Pleased to be able to read.
11:08Oh, I do hope you are to meet him.
11:10Surely we must.
11:12Spectacles, indeed.
11:15I wonder if it is that.
11:16It's a shame you're not going to be in the game here.
11:18It's a shame.
11:19Hello, Lizzie.
11:20Mama, Kitty and I will need new dresses for the ball.
11:23What are you going to be doing?
11:25Come on.
11:29I wonder at all.
11:30Yes.
11:45What are
11:45you going to do? You're
11:47going to be in the展side. I don't
11:48know what this is. I'll be
11:48looking for it. What are you
11:48going to be in the cabin? Greatúlt templweit.
11:49How are you going to
11:51be in the cabin? Well, it is going
11:53to be in the cabin. It's going to be
12:10Oh, that's...
12:11Maybe I could help you pick out a dress for the Merriton Assembly, Miss Mary.
12:16Oh, hell.
12:20What am I to do at a dance?
12:22Dance?
12:24Oh, what if no 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, I've known that for years.
12:41A daffodil might look plain next to a lily, but on its own there is much to be admired.
12:47Now I am tall and yellow.
12:50Miss Mary, I wonder if you wouldn't be a little happier if you went out in the world and saw
12:58yourself how other people see you, outside of your family.
13:05Well, that's decided.
13:08I am picking you out a new dress for the Assembly.
13:12And I will not hear another word on the subject.
13:27Help! I've lost my ribbon!
13:39Madam, please remain still if you can.
13:49Does the gold make me look like...
13:54A little.
13:57Kitty!
13:58What 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.
14:19I'm always last.
14:21Mary, no 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.
14:37And don't drink too much.
14:37But what if I'm thirsty?
14:39Lydia, I don't suppose you want to relieve yourself
14:41behind a screen in front of everyone?
14:43Listen!
14:45I'm sorry.
15:20Is it too fine for me, do you think?
15:23You look very handsome in it.
15:37Piggy, we have to take you and help you.
15:39We have, we are, Lydia.
15:41You have to take you and help you.
15:42Not in that sense.
15:43Okay.
16:57I like your dress, Mary.
16:59Oh, Charlotte.
17:02What's the route?
17:03I swear, the crowd gets bigger every season.
17:05You should limit entry to those young ladies, fortunate enough, with secured partners.
17:10Yes, I thought the very same thing.
17:26Oh, yes.
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.
18:01Miss Jane Bennet.
18:03Miss Elizabeth Bennet.
18:08Kitty and Lydia.
18:12Oh, and this is Miss Mary Bennet.
18:19Most 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.
18:32What an example to us all.
18:39What an example to us all.
18:42Come on, do you want to help me tell me it, too?
18:52Oh, but we don't really want to be quiet.
19:05Oh, you're ready!
19:06Are you ready?
19:23you will not believe the insufferable company that mr bingley keeps what has happened i overheard
19:30quite accidentally mr bingley talking to that conceited gentleman lent against the wall there
19:36a mr darcy who said of me she is tolerable but not handsome enough to tempt me
20:00excuse me miss bennett
20:04i do not mean to intrude but it is very bad for your eyes to screw them up in such
20:08a fashion
20:11perhaps i may be permitted to help you find what you're looking for
20:14i was looking for uh my sisters
20:22i'm quite exhausted from all the dancing i just
20:27chose to sit this one out that is a shame i was going to ask if you do me the
20:34honor of
20:34standing up with me for the next dance actually i'm now feeling much rested
20:39and i would be delighted well then i thank you
20:47shall we remain here until the next set of course
20:50except that's exactly what i thought
21:00how are your spectacles
21:03very well yes um i'm able to study for hours without this year
21:07i am delighted to hear that
21:16perhaps you could recommend a book to me what do you read with such enjoyment
21:23well mrs catherine mccauley has written a wonderful account of british history it's a fascinating read
21:28i will seek it out
21:29oh are you a scholar sir i like to read but science rather than history
21:36i have a plan to study medicine in london barts or maybe morphine
21:41what a noble ambition but it is not a thing widely known i have not mentioned it to anyone before
21:47you
21:50i should speak of it to no one
21:59thank you
22:01thank you
22:04thank you
22:09thank you
22:18thank you
23:02I'm regretting visiting the sub-table so early, I should have had less oyster patties.
23:09It's fewer. It's fewer oyster patties.
23:17Here we go!
23:35Here we go!
23:40Here we go!
23:41Here we go!
24:02Would you like a cold drink, Miss Benes?
24:04Oh, yes, that's an excellent idea.
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.
24:37And 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.
24:47Three might imply something more.
24:54I'm very happy dancing with him.
25:08I see that you have stood up twice with the Sparrow boy.
25:13Yes, Mama.
25:15You will not dance with him again.
25:21But, Mother, he's been most attentive.
25:24He's quite the gentleman.
25:26Mary, his father owns a shop.
25:31Yes, with a bell.
25:36Mother, I have danced with him twice.
25:39I have no wish to marry him.
25:41You may not object to lowering yourself,
25:43but I will not have you ruin your sister's chances of a match.
26:09Would you care to dance again, Miss Bennet,
26:12once we have finished our ices?
26:15Mrs. 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.
26:32Not at all, sir.
26:33I've...
26:34Oh, I've...
26:35I've very much enjoyed dancing with you.
26:39It's, um...
26:41That is to say that, um...
26:45My mother is concerned.
26:48Concerned?
26:48Uh, um, for my sisters and I.
26:51Um, it's important that we make an appropriate social, um...
26:58One might say, uh, financially, um...
27:01Well, a suitable match.
27:04Miss Bennet, there is no need for an explanation.
27:07I shall not pursue the matter.
27:08I've enjoyed...
27:10I've enjoyed my time with, um...
27:11Good evening to you.
27:15I'm sorry.
27:16I'm...
27:17Sorry.
27:17I'm sorry.
27:19I'm sorry.
27:20I'm sorry.
27:31I'm sorry.
27:49James stood up with him twice.
27:52I had little time for his friend.
27:55Please do not hold that against Mr. Bingley.
27:57Do you think we'll be able to go again soon?
27:58Yes.
28:00I dance with tea soldiers.
28:01I'm not very good with faces, so I'm not sure how many times I stood up with anyone.
28:05Ew!
28:06As my mother and sisters happily dissected every moment of the ball, I felt a terrible sense of shame.
28:13I had caused hurt to a man whose only crime was being kind to me.
28:21Who was I?
28:23A coward who lacked the courage to follow her own inclinations?
28:28It was time to find my own way.
28:32To look for a new version of myself.
28:35As a serious-minded woman.
28:39From now on, knowledge and reason would be my guide.
28:43No more ribbons, ball gowns, or 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.
28:56As the other Bennet sister.
28:59Wow.
29:01Yes.
29:29When adulty dólares in the world.
29:29You are to step on my way.
29:29I would suspend you.
29:29I would imagine you are to go Thus-
29:29I thought you would try and acknowledge my birthday!
29:29You are not différent.
29:29You are to take his back.
