00:23Three times I had written to Mr. Hayward, and each time the letter was returned,
00:27marked forwarding address unknown. There was so much that I wished to say to him, but it
00:38was not to be. No matter, I would not wallow. I had navigated difficulty before, and I would
00:46use my experiences to find my place in London, and prove I could build a life here. Not only
00:53to myself, but also to... Mama. Here she is. I didn't know you were... Sorry, what are
01:03you doing here? Your mother has come to stay. For a short time. Lizzie's physician advised
01:09I come to London to see Dr. Simmons, who is a great authority on nervous complaints. Well,
01:17sit. Mr. Darcy has been most insistent, urging me to think of myself and not hurry back to
01:27Pemberley until I have been properly attended to. Now, Mary, I have decided to forgive your
01:36actions at Pemberley and to offer you my assistance one last time. While I am here, I intend to
01:44finish what I began and find suitable matches for all my daughters. Oh, please, Mama, really.
01:52Four out of five must be considered a great triumph. A great triumph, indeed. Yes. But
01:58Mary has plenty in London to occupy her time. There is no better use of Mary's time than
02:03finding a match. Oh, please, Mother, really. I'm very happy as I am.
02:08I understand your shame, Mary, in the way that you have behaved towards me. But nevertheless,
02:15you cannot override my natural kindness and my motherly instinct. I have arranged for you
02:21to meet several suitors.
02:23Yes. Is it too much to ask you to make even the slightest effort with just one of these
02:51gentlemen? Mary has made good connections. Oh, and do good connections provide for you
02:57for the rest of your life? And she is welcome here. Oh, yes. For now. For as long as she
03:01wants. Enter. Enter. A visitor for Miss Bennet. Mr. Ryder is here. Mr. Ryder? Well, show him in.
03:16Caroline. Please show him in. Thank you. Thank you.
03:24Oh. Ah. Ah.
03:30Ah. Mr. Ryder. How wonderful to see you.
03:34Mrs. Bennet. Mrs. Gardiner. Miss Bennet.
03:40And to what do we owe the pleasure of your visit?
03:43Yes, excuse me dropping in unannounced.
03:45I wondered whether I might speak with Miss Bennet.
03:51Of course.
03:54In private.
04:00Miss Bennet, I'm most relieved to see you looking so well after.
04:06Yeah, yeah.
04:08I was sorry not to be able to say goodbye to you at the Lakes.
04:12Once I knew you were being taken care of,
04:14I felt it my duty to accompany Miss Bingley back to London to see a physician.
04:18I understand.
04:19But I was kept informed of your recovery.
04:29Miss Bennet, I...
04:32I wanted to sincerely apologise for what happened.
04:37Oh, I played my own part in proceedings.
04:40No, no, I was entirely to blame.
04:43I put you and Miss Bingley in grave danger.
04:46I'm full of regret.
04:48Oh, really?
04:48I think no more of it.
04:51Though it did not end well.
04:53Overall, I look back at my time in the Lakes very fondly.
04:58It was never my intention to intrude on your time there, but I needed Mr. Hayward's help.
05:07You see, Lady Catherine de Burr unexpectedly named me as her heir.
05:15Oh.
05:19I informed Mr. Hayward of my change in fortune and told him of my intention to propose to you that
05:27very afternoon.
05:32I see.
05:34He knew what I could offer you, and he gave me his blessing.
05:43He did.
05:45Miss Bennet, I wanted to renew our conversation from the Lakes.
05:53Of course.
05:54Of course, Mr. Ryder.
05:57Please, um, please sit.
05:58Yeah.
06:15I've never met anyone that makes me think like you do, who makes me see the world as you do.
06:25I've certainly never met anyone who speaks as plainly as you, and I admire that greatly.
06:31It's very kind.
06:34Although there is something of a gulf between my ideals and the world we live in,
06:43I like to think that you and I could carve out an interesting existence.
06:51Together.
06:55I shall now do what I should have done weeks ago, and ask.
07:05Miss Bennet.
07:12Would you consider accepting my hand in marriage?
07:29Mr. Ryder.
07:32My answer must, of course, be...
07:42That I do not love you.
07:50Could it be that you, you, you might grow to love me?
07:57Not in the way that you deserve to be loved.
08:06Your friendship has taught me so much about myself, and for that I shall always be grateful.
08:16But I don't believe I would ever have made you happy.
08:26You should follow your heart, go to Italy, and, and seize everything it has to offer.
08:35I see.
08:39You will find happiness, Mr. Ryder.
08:42True happiness.
08:45I do not doubt it.
09:00It was a pleasure to see you looking so well.
09:09Dry.
09:17Goodbye, Miss Bennet.
09:23Goodbye.
09:31No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
09:33Mother.
09:34I should leave.
09:36Please, stay there.
09:38Mother!
09:39Mr. Adi Amigo.
09:49What have you done?
09:51Oh, I need some air.
09:54Mary!
09:57Mary!
10:20Miss Bennet.
10:24Mr. Sparrow!
10:30Is everything quite all right?
10:32No, yes, the city smoke is particularly heavy today, and it just seems to have a...
10:39May I?
11:03I hope they are still serving you well.
11:07They really are.
11:09Tell me, what brings you to London?
11:12I graduated from Moorfields two weeks ago.
11:16You're a doctor, just as you said you would be.
11:22Congratulations, Mr. Sparrow.
11:26I always thought you'd end up studying somewhere, somehow.
11:29I would like to be a governess.
11:32To an older girl, perhaps.
11:35I think I'd enjoy teaching petrology and geology and...
11:38Your specialism, perhaps one day you could tutor my daughter.
11:42You have a child!
11:43She is one.
11:46She is one.
12:13And about...
12:15And about...
12:16Potential matters.
12:22If I may be so bold, if you have always struggled to please your mother, why do you keep trying?
12:31As long as you know what you want, perhaps it is time to stop worrying what she thinks.
12:39That our happiness is in our own hands.
12:43Absolutely.
12:45I truly believe it is.
12:49It has been a pleasure to see you again.
12:52I must be getting back.
12:59Goodbye, Mr. Sparrow.
13:02I'm very, very glad to have run into you today.
13:27Mary, what on earth are you thinking?
13:30Mother, I'm sorry to disappoint you, again, but I will not be marrying Mr. Ryder.
13:37Nonsense.
13:38Call him back and tell him you were mistaken.
13:40No, I will not do that.
13:42Have you no consideration for my nerves?
13:46I've never wanted to cause you any trouble.
13:49You have caused me nothing but trouble since the day you were born.
13:54Yes, I'm aware that is so.
13:57I am trying to help you.
14:00I do not want you to be looked down upon.
14:06Looked down upon by whom?
14:14Mary, please call Mr. Ryder back and accept his offer.
14:19I do not love him.
14:21Mama, I've not waited all this time just to marry a man I do not love.
14:25You would have once agreed to marry Mr. Collins.
14:28Did you love him?
14:29No, I didn't. No.
14:32At the time I thought I was helping our family remain at Longbourn.
14:35And now there is a handsome, wealthy man willing to overlook your shortcomings and you have turned him away.
14:41Because I have changed.
14:43We'll change back again.
14:49Charlotte once told me that my options were marriage or misery.
14:56But I have seen many miserable marriages.
15:01And meanwhile, I've experienced much joy in life, on my own.
15:08What will you do without a husband? How will you survive?
15:12I will work as a governess.
15:15Outside the families?
15:16Yes, I will take on an older pupil.
15:18And I will teach a more nuanced, detailed education.
15:21Working to a higher level on a specific set of-
15:24Why do you insist on torturing me?
15:35It has always been my intention to please you.
15:39I am very sad that I have never been able to make you proud of me.
15:47Yet I was never able to match my sisters in your esteem.
15:54I am sorry.
15:57You have no idea what it has been like for me.
16:02I had five daughters. Five daughters.
16:05All of whom I knew must marry well in order to survive.
16:09And there was nobody to make that happen except me.
16:14Your father never had to think about it.
16:18And he never raised a finger to help.
16:22In fact, any attempts I made to discuss your future seemed only to rile him.
16:32I was quite alone.
16:39You and I always have been very different creatures.
16:46And it is likely we all shall be.
16:51It doesn't seem fair that you weren't helped in your efforts.
16:58But you did it.
17:02We are all settled in our different ways.
17:06I have chosen my path.
17:09And I am happy with it.
17:16I did not want you to be left behind.
17:31Goodbye, mother.
17:43Jane.
17:52Send our love to Lizzie.
17:58Goodbye, Jane
18:19Mary, I have to say
18:21I don't think I've ever seen anyone stand up to your mother
18:23As successfully as you did
18:25Really?
18:25It was very impressive
18:32I don't mind that I'll never marry
18:38I've only said that without a home of my own
18:41I shall never get to choose my own wallpaper
18:46You can always choose some for your room, Mary, if you like
18:52Do you think I've done the wrong thing?
18:56In not marrying Mr. Ryder
18:59Not at all, Mary
19:02I've learnt a great deal from him
19:05He's a man that finds joy in life
19:08And there's much to be admired about him
19:09But you do not love him
19:13No
19:17You love someone else?
19:24Where has he gone?
19:30I wish I knew
19:41Thank you
19:44Miss Bennet, there is a visitor to see you in the drawing room
19:50Miss Bingley
20:13Miss Bennet, I wanted to thank you for what you did on the mountain
20:22You could have left me there
20:24And you didn't
20:35I think it is plain to see that I have a great fondness for Mr. Ryder
20:45And I have come to ask that you
20:49Leave him alone
20:51Oh, Miss Bingley
20:53You are much better suited to Mr. Ryder than I am
20:56You don't mean that
20:57I do, I do
20:59Mr. Ryder is a dear friend
21:02But he and I, we were never a match
21:10The truth is
21:15It was always Mr. Hayward for me
21:19But it is not to be
21:21Really?
21:23Tom Hayward?
21:26Surely he is attainable
21:29It seems not
21:31He has disappeared
21:35Well, well
21:48Perhaps I shall call for you sometime, Miss Bennet
21:53Yes, we could read poetry together
22:00Goodbye, Miss Bennet
22:01Goodbye, Miss Bingley
22:23And so it was that I carved out my own path
22:27I stayed in London
22:29And became a governess
22:34Over time, I worried a little less about the approval of others
22:40And though the life I had chosen was different to that of my sisters
22:45I had a wealth of experience
22:47I had a wealth of experience to be proud of
22:50I had found a family I loved very much
22:53I was happy in the life I had chosen
22:57And I knew that I was good enough
23:04Though one can always be just a little happier, I suppose
23:14Miss Bennet
23:15Miss Bennet
23:19Miss Bennet
23:19Miss Bennet
23:20Miss Bennet
23:28Mr. Hayward
23:51Mrs. Gardner said I might find you here
23:57Miss Bennet, I...
23:58Where have you been?
24:03Yorkshire
24:05What do you mean, Yorkshire?
24:07You can't just say Yorkshire
24:09As if Yorkshire's an entirely reasonable explanation
24:11For your very sudden
24:13And somewhat lengthy disappearance
24:16After what you said...
24:17I'm sorry, Mary
24:18Please, please
24:18Let me explain
24:22Well, you're here now
24:25Mr. Hayward
24:26Do go on
24:33Where we were in the lakes
24:35The legal matter that Mr. Ryder asked me to attend to
24:38Was his inheriting the fortune of Lady Catherine de Bourgh
24:44And I knew quite clearly from Ryder's incredibly irritating behaviour
24:49That he had a liking for you
24:51As I also had
24:56As I also have
24:59It is such a liking
25:01In fact
25:02That when I learned of Mr. Ryder's good fortune
25:04And his plan to make you an offer of marriage
25:06I thought
25:07I thought it in your best interest
25:08That I graciously step aside
25:10Nevertheless
25:10My actions in the mountain
25:12You thought it in my best interests
25:15To graciously step aside
25:18So your disappearance
25:20Was, in fact
25:21You being gracious to me
25:25You...
25:25Ah!
25:26Ah!
25:27Miss...
25:27You and Mr. Ryder
25:29Between you
25:29Thought that you would just decide on my fate
25:31And I would just accept it
25:32Like I'm a...
25:34Like I'm a...
25:35A great old cat
25:36If you put it like that
25:37It does not sound good
25:38Why didn't you just ask me
25:40What I thought?
25:41I was reading between the lines
25:42There were no lines
25:43Mr. Hayward
25:44There were no lines
25:46I know I will never be able
25:48To offer you what Mr. Ryder can
25:51I have had to work
25:52For everything that I have
25:53And
25:55And I thought you deserved better than that
25:59That you deserved better than me
26:00But now I realise
26:03I will not know what you want
26:04Unless I ask
26:05So I must tell you
26:07I cannot offer you great wealth
26:08Or Italy
26:11But I can offer you my love
26:14And my devotion
26:15And my hope to build a family
26:17One day
26:23Mr. Hayward
26:25If you had asked me
26:27What I wanted
26:28I would have told you
26:29I never wanted Mr. Ryder
26:31I have never loved Mr. Ryder
26:34I love you
26:35I have only ever loved you
26:39I love you
26:41I have always loved you
26:43From the very first time
26:44I caught you playing graces
26:45On your own
26:46When you thought
26:47No one was at home
26:51I have spent my life
26:53On the outside of things
26:54But with you
26:55I am right in the middle of it all
27:07Mary Bennet
27:07Would you do me the very great honour
27:09Of becoming my wife
27:17Yes
27:20Yes
27:20Yes
27:21Yes
27:22Yes
27:25Yes
27:30Yes
27:30Yes
27:30Yes
27:30Yes
27:30Yes
27:31Right away Mr. Hayward
27:32In case
27:32In case you didn't catch it
27:34Mary I think now that we've kissed
27:36You could probably call me Tom
27:54Wait what made you come back
27:56Oh I received a letter
27:59From Caroline Bingley
28:01What
28:01Yes
28:03She wrote to me
28:04And she told me about your conversation
28:05And I realised I was being ridiculous
28:07From Caroline Bingley
28:08Yes
28:09She did something kind
28:11Wait however did she find you
28:13She has a ways
28:14My only wish is that we could thank her
28:20But she has left London
28:21Oh
28:22She's gone to Italy
28:24In pursuit of Mr. Ryder
28:26No
28:28Yes
28:30No
28:31Yes
28:34I know
28:48And so it was
28:50That I married him
28:52But on my own terms
28:54In my own time
28:57And I hope you'll realise
28:58That is almost beside the point
29:11The point
29:13Perhaps
29:13Was just as Hill had predicted
29:16All that time ago
29:18That I needed to get out
29:20And see the world outside my family
29:23So that I could find
29:25My place in it
29:38And that is the last of them
29:41Really?
29:42No
29:46Oh
29:47The indigo is splendid
29:48It's actually Tyrion purple
29:50It's Tyrion?
29:51Yes
29:51From the Greek myth
29:52About Hercules' dog
29:53Traying a spiny Murex sea snail
29:55I didn't know Hercules had a dog
29:58Keep up, Thomas
30:01I am trying
30:07What's next?
30:10Spring green
30:11In your drawing room
30:14Is there even a Sunny
30:15Yeah
30:15Yeah
30:35I amierung
30:35I am
30:35For me
30:35I am
30:35I am
30:35I am
30:35I am
30:35I am
30:35I am
30:36I am
30:41I am
30:42I am
