03:15Mary
03:15.
03:16.
03:16.
03:18.
03:18.
03:18.
03:20.
03:23.
03:48Miss Bennett, a letter for you.
04:02Mary!
04:08Mary, where on earth have you been all this time?
04:11I was walking the dog, Mama.
04:15Please.
04:30Who's the letter from, Mary?
04:32It's from one of my friends in London.
04:36What friend is that, Mary?
04:38Lydia.
04:39What friend is that, Mary?
04:44Her name is Miss Baxter.
04:46Anne Baxter.
04:47I've never heard of Miss Baxter.
04:49Then she surely does not exist.
04:50She most probably does not.
04:52Lydia is being most unkind.
05:22I've never heard of Miss Baxter.
05:41Something seems to be troubling you, Mary.
05:44You seem full of concerns every time we mention London.
05:48Do I?
05:50I thought you would be eager to return.
05:57Does Mother's dog in any way remind you of Mother?
06:04Oh, Lizzie, oh.
06:08I embarrassed myself terribly when I left London.
06:12Caroline Bingley was there.
06:13She was determined to humiliate me.
06:16And I left in such a flurry.
06:18I smashed a bell jar of great sentimental value to its owner, a new friend, Mr. Ryder.
06:26And everyone stared at us.
06:29Mary.
06:31No one else will have given it a second thought.
06:34It will seem worse to you, I'm sure.
06:36What person has not done something regrettable in their lives?
06:39You?
06:40You, Jane, Kitty, Lydia.
06:44Lydia?
06:45Oh, no.
06:46No.
06:47Lydia has.
06:49I can assure you, we all have.
06:54Anne wrote to tell me not to worry.
06:56You see?
06:57Mm.
06:58She's become a dear friend.
07:00I'm Haywood.
07:02Mr. Haywood is...
07:05He's, uh, he's just the kind, kindest man.
07:09And have you met any gentlemen that have taken your eye?
07:13Me?
07:14No.
07:15Oh, no.
07:15No.
07:17London, it's actually entirely without any eligible men.
07:21And I think I ever leave, I'm not, I'm not really.
07:29A visitor for Miss Mary Bannert.
07:35Mr. Ryder.
07:37What are you doing here?
07:39Miss Bannert.
07:41I hope you and your family won't consider this a great imposition, but you left London with
07:46such haste.
07:47I was most worried about your mother and wanted to offer my support in your hour of need.
07:54How do you do, Mr. Ryder?
07:58Mrs. Bannert.
08:01Why, it is a pleasure to see you looking so well.
08:03Oh, I usually look much better than this, though my recovery has been quite extraordinary.
08:11I am.
08:11I'm glad to hear it.
08:16Miss Bannert, won't you introduce me to your sisters?
08:19Uh, uh, um, yes, uh, this is Mrs. Elizabeth Darcy.
08:24Um, this is Mrs. Kitty Boncock.
08:26How do you do?
08:27Mrs. Jane Bingley and Mrs. Lydia Wickham.
08:30Enchanted to meet you all.
08:31How do you know Mary?
08:34Miss Bannert and I met at a soiree in London and share a similar taste in despicable crime
08:41pamphlets.
08:42Oh!
08:43Oh, God.
08:43Anyway, I was en route to visit my Aunt Lady Catherine de Burr and wanted to pay my respects.
08:51Well, let us not stand upon ceremony.
08:54Elizabeth will arrange for us to take tea in the garden.
08:58Uh, Mr. Ryder, do join us.
09:00No, I'm, I'm, I'm sure Mr. Ryder will have more important matters to attend to.
09:04I have time.
09:07Are you well enough, Mama?
09:09Yes, thank you, Jane.
09:10I am perfectly well enough.
09:13Uh, Mary, take Mr. Ryder to the garden.
09:16Uh, Lydia will deal with the dog.
09:18What?
09:19Mr. Ryder, if this is about the other car, I must.
09:26I have always felt that what a lady puts in her garden is so terribly important.
09:33Yes.
09:33Roses, of course.
09:34Of course.
09:35Your favourite flower?
09:36Well, I must know.
09:37Well, I must know.
09:38Well, I must know.
09:39Well, I must know.
09:46My turn.
09:51I see you forgot to mention Mr. Ryder in your reports from London.
09:55You also forgot to mention how handsome he is.
09:59I mean, I've not really noticed his looks, I'm sure.
10:03He's come an awfully long way to see you.
10:06He's probably just thirsty.
10:08And nearby.
10:11What?
10:13Oh, you must stay with us, Mr. Ryder.
10:16Especially with the weather turning, as it may well do.
10:18Do you not agree, Lizzie?
10:20You would be most welcome, Mr. Ryder.
10:22Oh, that is very kind.
10:24Come, Miss Bennett.
10:25Show us your skills.
10:30That's...
10:31No.
10:33That's not what I...
10:34That's not what I...
10:36Excellent!
10:38Well done, Mary!
10:39Yes.
10:41Bravo!
10:42Well done, Mary.
10:42I agree.
10:43Well done.
10:46I was sorry to see you leave London in such a hurry.
10:52Mr. Ryder, have...
10:54Have you come here to discuss, you know, the...
10:59Yes!
11:00Yes, Miss Bennett, I believe I have.
11:02I've been wondering whether to write to you on the subject.
11:05Oh, I wouldn't expect you to lead the conversation, Miss Bennett.
11:09Mr. Ryder, are you here to talk about...
11:12I'll correct you.
11:15The bell jar?
11:16What...
11:17What did you say?
11:18Miss Bennett!
11:20Please, do not trouble yourself over that.
11:23But it was your father's.
11:24I thought you'd be upset.
11:26Not at all.
11:27Please, think no more of it.
11:40It is a pleasure to meet your family.
11:43Yes, my sisters are exceptional, I know.
11:47As are you, Miss Bennett.
11:50Oh, no.
11:51I am much more...
11:55I find it most refreshing that you do not fawn over potential husbands or have your mind constantly set on
12:02finding a match.
12:05Well, no, no.
12:08I don't really...
12:08I don't give it much thought.
12:11You lack artifice.
12:13Your qualities shine out.
12:15They're not corrupted by the false polish of the world.
12:20She's, uh...
12:21Observations of a very, very personal nature.
12:24Well, I have a very low opinion of the petty rules to which we submit ourselves in the name of
12:29good manners.
12:30Did you know that?
12:31I think you may have mentioned it once or twice.
12:35I believe, Miss Bennett, that our inability to say what we mean is one of the great curses of our
12:42age.
12:43We hide behind a thousand disguises that we like to call politeness.
12:48Hmm.
13:04Mr. Darcy sends his apologies.
13:07He has a seasonal headache.
13:08Oh.
13:09Hmm.
13:11Mr. Ryder, tell us about yourself.
13:13Mary mentioned you are an avid reader.
13:15Oh, uh, of poetry, perhaps.
13:19I find longer works are usually not for me.
13:22Really?
13:23I think the brevity of poetry is one of its principal attractions.
13:26I agree.
13:28Wholeheartedly.
13:29I only wish I had the fine mind of your sister.
13:32Miss Bennett has such an astute understanding of a wide range of literature.
13:37She does.
13:39She does.
13:39Miss, I do not know whether she gets it from me or her father.
13:45From you, mother, I'm sure.
13:47Oh.
13:48There are very few people who have the insight of Miss Bennett.
13:52I could talk to you all day.
13:55I must admit, London has been a little grey without you.
14:01Oh, no.
14:02Are you joking?
14:04No, there are many interesting minds in London, all eager for thoughtful conversation.
14:10None as interesting as yours.
14:23Hello?
14:26Mother.
14:29I came to wish you goodnight.
14:35Here.
14:49Mr. Ryder would make an excellent match.
15:00I wonder what kind of endowment he has.
15:05I do not know, Mum.
15:07A sizable one, I'm sure.
15:12Good night, Mum.
15:18Good night, Mary.
16:04I wonder what kind of endowment he has.
16:07I wonder what kind of endowment he has.
16:07I wonder what kind of endowment he has.
16:07I wonder what kind of endowment he has.
16:07I wonder what kind of endowment he has.
16:07I wonder what kind of endowment he has.
16:09I wonder what kind of endowment he has.
16:11Sorry, don't let me distract you.
16:16What are you reading, Mr. Ryder?
16:18A rather fascinating book.
16:23Um...
16:24Uh, Jesus.
16:24Right, it's upside down.
16:26Ah, so it is.
16:29What are you reading, Miss Bennet?
16:31Fordyce's Sermons to Young Women.
16:32Oh, insufferable, rulemaking pedant.
16:35Would you like me to put it in the fire for you?
16:39It's not quite how I remember it, I'll admit.
16:56What are they talking about?
17:02Barry sounds serious.
17:03She is boring him, I know it.
17:05I think you should read Mrs. Macaulay.
17:07She will help you to better understand the world.
17:11I am no good at all at wasting my energy
17:14on anything that does not either move or please me.
17:17I think that is a shame, sir.
17:25You know, my father was a scholar.
17:28He devoted all his time to studying insects.
17:31Winged beetles, mostly.
17:33Of course, yes, the beetle in the jar.
17:37It's fascinating stuff, really.
17:41Well, I'm not so sure,
17:43but it occupied his every waking hour.
17:47He rarely emerged from his study.
17:51We hardly ever saw him.
17:55When I was 15 years old,
18:02he died quite suddenly.
18:06Oh.
18:07I'm sorry.
18:08I'm sorry.
18:10A few days after his death,
18:13I sat in his dark study and
18:17I thought about all the hours
18:19he'd spent in there.
18:22Away from his family.
18:24Away from life.
18:25And for what?
18:27For your father must have derived
18:28a great deal of pleasure from his work.
18:32Perhaps.
18:33But I think I learnt more
18:34about the point of human existence
18:36in that moment
18:37than my father learnt
18:38in a lifetime of study.
18:41From then on,
18:42I devoted myself
18:44to the pursuit of joy.
18:48Tell me, Miss Bennett.
18:51What makes you happy?
18:56Sorry, um,
18:57nobody ever asked me
18:59such a question.
19:00Then you must consider it now.
19:03Uh, well, um...
19:07Reading.
19:08Reading.
19:09Learning.
19:09Teaching.
19:14And...
19:15what of...
19:17friendship?
19:20Of love?
19:24Uh, yes.
19:26No, of course, that.
19:28Life is short, Miss Bennett.
19:32Everything turns to dust in the end.
19:38We might as well experience
19:40some joy
19:40before that happens.
19:48Let's go ride it.
19:52Yes!
19:54Let's!
20:00Ladies.
20:04What a waste.
20:06Well?
20:07Well, what?
20:08Are you going out walking again, Mary?
20:09No, Mr Ryder and I are going riding.
20:11On a horse?
20:12Yes, that's generally the idea.
20:13But you hate horses.
20:14Mary,
20:15what are his intentions?
20:17To ride a horse,
20:18I think.
20:30Oh, no.
20:32Oh, no.
20:37Oh, dear.
20:38Oh, dear.
20:42Um...
20:42You're quite all right, Miss Bennett.
20:44I'm perfectly fine.
20:45Yes.
20:47No.
20:48Oh, you...
20:49Oh.
20:50There we go.
20:50There we go.
20:52Now,
20:53I've been thinking
20:54about your argument.
20:56That, uh...
20:57that we should say
20:58more honestly
20:59what we think and feel.
21:00Oh, excellent.
21:02I knew you'd agree.
21:04Oh,
21:05I don't know that I do.
21:06I mean,
21:07surely even you must admit
21:08there may be occasions
21:09when,
21:10well,
21:10for all manner of reasons,
21:12some things are best left unsaid.
21:14I cannot concur.
21:15I intend to live my life
21:17by bolder principles.
21:18In fact,
21:19that is why I came here.
21:21To put that belief into practice.
21:24Oh, really?
21:25Yes.
21:25I came here to commit
21:27the great impropriety
21:28of telling you honestly
21:29what I think of you.
21:32Oh.
21:33Mr. Ryder,
21:34I can assure you
21:34there's no need.
21:35I attempted to scribble
21:36a few lines,
21:37but...
21:37but then I thought of
21:39some verses
21:40of Mr. Wordsworth
21:41that captured
21:42your spirit perfectly.
21:45May I be allowed
21:46to recite them to you?
21:50Of course,
21:51Mr. Ryder.
21:52Please.
21:56She dwelt among...
21:58Excuse me.
22:01No.
22:03Please,
22:04take your time.
22:11She dwelt
22:12among the untrodden ways,
22:15beside the springs of Dove.
22:18A maid
22:19whom there were none
22:20to praise
22:21and very few
22:22to love.
22:24A violet
22:25by a mossy stone
22:26half hidden
22:28from the eye.
22:30Fair as a star
22:31when only one
22:33is shining
22:34in the sky.
22:42I think you see me
22:43as a lonely figure.
22:45I was brought up
22:46in Hertfordshire, sir.
22:47So the road to London
22:48was barely five miles away.
22:50It is possible
22:51to feel oneself alone
22:52even in such
22:53close proximity to town?
22:55Yes, but
22:55in my village
22:56it was quite untrue
22:58to say
22:58that there were none
22:59to praise
22:59and very few to love.
23:01There were scores
23:02of people
23:03very eager
23:04to praise my sisters.
23:05Perhaps living
23:06with your family
23:07in Meryton
23:08kept you
23:10half hidden
23:11from the eye.
23:13But now
23:14you've broken out
23:14on your own.
23:16You can be seen
23:17at last
23:18as you deserve.
23:20Fair as a star
23:21when only one
23:22is shining
23:23in the sky.
23:29Oh!
23:35You're an actual
23:35Miss Bennet.
23:36Oh, I'm not.
23:37I know.
23:42Our conversation
23:43has made me
23:43very happy,
23:44Miss Bennet.
23:49Me too,
23:50Mr. Ryder.
24:06Walk on!
24:15Mary,
24:16there you are.
24:17Whatever's the matter?
24:18What happened
24:18on the ride?
24:21We rode horses
24:23and mine
24:24was most unruly
24:25and it had
24:26a taste for
24:26brambles
24:27as if it had
24:27a mind of its own
24:28really
24:28and my saddle
24:29was not at all
24:29comfortable.
24:30That's not
24:31a slight
24:31on the quality
24:31of the design.
24:32Mary!
24:37It appears
24:37Mr. Ryder
24:38does have...
24:41Mother,
24:42I'm not
24:42completely sure
24:43that you were right
24:44and I really
24:45would hate
24:46to cause you
24:46any further
24:46disappointment.
24:47This is an opportunity
24:49that cannot be
24:49overlooked.
24:51He's a very
24:52eligible gentleman.
24:55You will say yes,
24:56won't you?
25:00There you are!
25:01What happened?
25:01What did he say?
25:02Did he ask you?
25:03He's not going to ask her.
25:04There's your
25:05to be able to ask her.
25:06I...
25:12Miss Beryl!
25:16Are you
25:17quite all right?
25:18Oh, it's...
25:18it's nothing.
25:20Nothing at all.
25:22May I speak
25:23with you in private?
25:25I have something
25:26very important
25:27I want to discuss
25:27with you.
25:46Mother had told me
25:48to prepare myself
25:51but nothing
25:52could prepare me
25:54for what
25:55happened next.
25:56To be honest.
26:26Amen.
