TVTranscript
00:03I could not remember when I had last felt so ready for change. A new beginning.
00:17As I travelled to the lakes, I reflected on what the gardeners had taught me.
00:23They did not consider happiness a matter of chance.
00:26Instead, they did everything in their power to cultivate it.
00:32Through them, I could see another way of being.
00:55Be quick.
00:57Come get back for us, please.
01:00Of course, Mother.
01:01I hope he's with you.
01:05Anne!
01:07Mary!
01:12What are you doing here?
01:14I'm with Mr and Mrs Gardner. We're travelling to the lakes.
01:16What are you doing here?
01:19Mary, we have much to catch up on.
01:23My mother and I were just taking a rest at the inn.
01:25We're heading home to Nottingham for two weeks.
01:27But what of you and Mr Hayward?
01:30Are you engaged at last?
01:34Actually, Mary, Mr Hayward and I ended our agreement.
01:39Sorry?
01:40I'm now engaged to Mr Powell, who I met at Mr Ryder's supper.
01:45Oh!
01:46My mother's calling.
01:48Well, someone should tell you.
01:50How is Mr Hayward?
01:54He took the news as well as could be expected.
01:58I cared deeply for Mr Hayward, but we were not a match.
02:02He had for many years been trying to advance his career.
02:06So that we might be married.
02:08He was taxing on us both.
02:11I'm sorry.
02:13You will see him at the lakes, will you not?
02:17Take care of him for me.
02:20Of course.
02:21Anne!
02:23I must go.
02:24I will call for you on your return to London.
02:38Poor Tom.
02:40He must be heartbroken.
02:43Oh, yes, he must.
02:53Now while the birds thus sing a joyous song,
02:57And while the young lambs bound as to the taber's sound,
03:03To me alone there came a thought of grief.
03:07Timely utterance gave that thought relief.
03:11And I again am strong.
03:19Did you sleep well, Mary?
03:21I had a dream that Mother came to fetch me.
03:24It was quite frightening.
03:26Your mother will not follow you here.
03:28Can we be sure of that?
03:29Mary, your mother hates nature.
03:32And any form of inconvenience.
03:35And the North more generally.
03:36Indeed.
03:37Look who I found.
03:41Tom, I'm so pleased that you were able to join us.
03:44I'm not interrupting.
03:45No, not at all.
03:46We're very pleased to see you.
03:48I thought long and hard about what you said.
03:50I said that he works too hard and should enjoy himself occasionally.
03:56How lovely that someone listens to me.
03:58And we all hang on your every word.
04:01Tom, join us. I've already eaten.
04:03Oh, well in that case, why don't you two go out and get some fresh air?
04:07Before we head to the lake.
04:09Good idea.
04:11Yes.
04:18Hey, hi, Chris.
04:22Um.
04:23Ah, yes.
04:27I have something.
04:28Have they been air?
04:29Um.
04:29Sorry, forgive me.
04:31It was nothing.
04:32Please.
04:34Miss Bennet, I wondered if this might be of use to you.
04:39It's Mr. Worthworth's guide to the lake.
04:42Where geography meets poetry.
04:45Oh.
04:49It is most fortunate that you were able to join us.
04:57Ah.
05:01How was your time at Pemberley?
05:04Miss Bennet.
05:05Oh, Pemberley was...
05:08very busy.
05:10I'm pleased to hear that your mother has recovered.
05:13Oh, yeah.
05:14My mother was, um, very much back to her old self.
05:19That is a good thing, is it not?
05:21Oh, well, no, yes.
05:23But, um, well, in her strengthened state, I think she may be more disappointed in me now than she has
05:32ever been.
05:32Well, I'm very surprised to hear that.
05:34Oh, you have not met my sisters, Mr. Hayward.
05:38They are, each of them, beautiful and accomplished.
05:42I do not compare well.
05:44As my mother often observes.
05:48Miss Bennet.
05:51I am so sorry that anyone has ever made you feel like a disappointment.
06:08I bumped into Anne Baxter on the way here.
06:13At, at the Coaching Inn.
06:14Quite by chance.
06:17I'm sorry, Mr. Hayward, I...
06:20I understand you must be suffering terribly.
06:27Well, I...
06:37I heard our friend, Mr. Ryder, came to visit you at Pimberley.
06:41Oh, well, um, yes, uh...
06:44Mary!
06:44Tom!
06:44We should get going!
06:47Yes.
06:49Oh.
06:50We will speak again.
06:51Yes.
06:52Quite.
07:01I read in my fishing book that we need to find the creases, where the current meets calmer water.
07:06So now, no.
07:07You're holding the line too tightly.
07:09And you should never have an overfilled spool.
07:12No, just loosen it a little.
07:13Yes.
07:14Forgive me, forgive me.
07:14Now I'm cast off.
07:16Ah.
07:17What's the name of that mountain there?
07:20I believe that is Scarfell.
07:22Mr. Wordsworth's sister, Dorothy, climbed Scarfell.
07:24Did she not?
07:24She did.
07:25Said that you can see all the way out to sea from up there.
07:28Oh, how wonderful.
07:31Would you be prepared to attempt climbing it with me?
07:34No.
07:35Really?
07:36Do you think we could?
07:36I'd like to.
07:38Are you skilled at physical pursuits, Miss Baxter?
07:40No.
07:40Not in the least.
07:41I think I felt a tug.
07:42I'm enthusiastic.
07:44I'll get the net.
07:45Well, that'll do.
07:45That and good boots.
07:51What is it?
07:52I hope I didn't speak out of turn when I mention Mr. Ryder's visit.
07:56Oh, no.
07:57Oh, no.
07:57Not at all.
07:58No.
07:59I really only hope that I didn't speak out of turn by mentioning Miss Baxter.
08:04Oh, no, not at all.
08:05Not at all.
08:06Miss Baxter and I have no sense how I've been growing.
08:08It was brief and it was uneventful.
08:09Something is definitely important.
08:12Oh.
08:13It's sizable.
08:14Bring it in slowly.
08:15No, no.
08:16Just let the rod do the work.
08:18Oh.
08:18No, so lift and reel.
08:20So lift and reel.
08:22Lift and reel.
08:23Lift and reel.
08:24This will be your supper for the evening.
08:28I'm not eating that.
08:32It's moving.
08:51It's moving.
08:54All right, no, I cannot show you, Mr. Hayward. My sketches, they're an offence to both the lake and to
09:00art itself.
09:03That is quite a feat, Miss Bennett.
09:07Well, for the sake of lifting your spirits, I'll show you my own disastrous drawings, but please tell no one
09:13of what you see.
09:14Do not show me if you're being modest. I shall feel wretched if yours are actually well drawn.
09:18No, they are not. And I have to warn you, it will be impossible for you to ever think of
09:21me as on a feeling once you've seen these.
09:22I have no artistic talent at all.
09:35Oh, oh. No, these are quite terrible. I mean, I don't even know what that is.
09:45That? That is a duck, Miss Bennett.
09:47It has too many legs.
09:51Well, could we say that it is stepping on a plank?
09:53I don't think we could.
09:54No.
09:55No.
09:56No.
09:57Perhaps we would enjoy the view more if we weren't trying to replicate it.
10:00Well, I certainly would.
10:05We could go riding.
10:06Do you ride watch, Miss Bennett?
10:08No, that's another thing I possess no skill for.
10:10At Pemberley, I went riding with Miss...
10:14Um...
10:14With, uh, Mr Ryder.
10:18Uh...
10:20Um...
10:21Mr Ryder and I are not engaged.
10:24If that's what you thought.
10:26Oh.
10:28Uh...
10:28In fact, I'm trying to think of, um, a different future for myself.
10:35Wondering whether governessing might be possible outside of my family.
10:39I think it would be an excellent governess.
10:43But, uh, Miss Bennett, do you not think that...
10:47You...
10:48Might...
10:50Perhaps...
10:51Find yourself...
10:52A match?
10:54Oh...
10:54No.
10:55No.
10:56Mr Hayward, no.
10:58I'm at peace with that.
11:02Do you not think it might be worth you having one last look about?
11:05Just don't make sure.
11:07No.
11:08I've learnt my lesson.
11:10Any looking about will only lead to...
11:14Disappointment.
11:16Oh.
11:17Anyway, I'm sure...
11:18I'm sure you do not wish to...
11:20Discuss...
11:21Engagements.
11:24Well, the truth is...
11:25It's the lark...
11:26That sings.
11:28Mr Hayward?
11:30Well, perhaps it is...
11:32No, no.
11:33Er...
11:34The lark is more melodic.
11:35The thrush is, um...
11:40Well, I mean, it's sort of more...
11:42It has a variety of sounds.
11:43More like...
11:46Yes.
11:48But, they may sing differently up here.
11:50In London, they sound like...
11:56The lark is a bit more...
12:04The lark is quite a difficult one...
12:06To get right.
12:06It's quite shrill.
12:07Hard on the throat.
12:08Yes.
12:09In truth, the only...
12:10Bird call that I'm entirely confident with...
12:12Is that of the London Pigeon.
12:13You must live.
12:16The wark.
12:25Come in.
12:31Good evening, Mary.
12:39How have you enjoyed your day?
12:42Very much so.
12:46You and Mr. Hayward get along very well.
12:52He must surely be quite devastated about Anne Baxter.
12:58If he is, he's concealing his heartache quite convincingly.
13:05He seems in good spirits.
13:09I always wondered if they're entirely well suited.
13:12Really?
13:14I mean, I'm sure Mr. Hayward felt that they were.
13:18Did he?
13:22Good night, Mary.
13:42A landscape.
13:49You can't shoot me.
13:52I'm afraid.
14:00What are you reading?
14:08Tentan Abbey.
14:09Oh, that is my favourite.
14:11I am quite fed up with it.
14:14It does not easily give up its secrets.
14:17Beauty is this man's name.
14:19Would you read it to me?
14:24From where you are.
14:27Oh.
14:28Oh.
14:29Well.
14:30Well.
14:39In hours of weariness, sensation sweet, felt in the blood and felt along the heart,
14:48and passing even into my purer mind with tranquil restoration, feelings too of unremembered, unremembered pleasure.
15:00Would you mind?
15:00Could you read on?
15:01I'd like to take some notes on that last bit.
15:08I will read on what perhaps you could try not to worry about notes, Miss Bennet.
15:27For I've learned to look on nature, not as in the hour of thoughtless youth,
15:34but hearing oftentimes still sad music of humanity.
15:42Nor harsh, nor grating, though of ample power, to chasten and subjure.
15:48And I have felt
15:49a presence that disturbs me with the joy of elevated thoughts.
16:02What do you think?
16:06Yes, no, um,
16:08Mr. Wordsworth is,
16:10well, he's explaining our connection to nature, and
16:16to all of this.
16:19And how that connection
16:22grows as
16:24we age.
16:35Yes, I've read this poem a thousand times.
16:39Sitting here, I finally feel its true power.
16:47So do I.
17:07I have been trying to clarify something, Miss Bennet.
17:11I would like you to know that it was something of a relief to end my understanding with Miss Baxter.
17:15We were quite young when we made our agreement.
17:18And over that time, my feelings had changed.
17:22Recently, I found that they had changed quite significantly.
17:25And I hope...
17:29I hope that you'd feel the same way.
17:35Ahoy!
17:37Ahoy there!
17:40Ahoy!
17:42Is that Ryder?
17:44What is he doing here?
17:46Will you ride?
17:47Why is he getting into the water?
17:50Oh, he's absolutely typical of that man.
17:52And an impatient and ill-thought-through.
17:53Mr. Ryder, please be careful.
17:59Oh.
18:00Oh.
18:01What a beautiful day.
18:03What are you doing here?
18:04What?
18:07Mr. Ryder, please let me...
18:09...hold you onto the boat.
18:12Mr. Ryder, come on, Hayward.
18:14A little bit harder.
18:15Careful.
18:15Oh, he's pissing.
18:17Oh, come on!
18:18Oh!
18:18Oh!
18:19Oh!
18:21Oh!
18:21Mr. Hayward!
18:23I'm fine!
18:24Oh!
18:24Oh!
18:25How do you always manage to cause such a scene?
18:27It's quite bracing, isn't it?
18:29Oh!
18:30Oh!
18:32Oh!
18:32Oh!
18:33Could you help, Miss Bennett?
18:34Yes!
18:35Um...
18:35Oh, no.
18:35Miss Bennett, could you get an oar, please?
18:37Yes, of course.
18:38Ah!
18:39What?
18:40No!
18:41No!
18:41That's not quite what I...
18:43Miss Bennett!
18:44Could you get the other oar?
18:46We've all gone to the other end.
18:48Yes!
18:52Yes!
18:56Let go!
18:57The last thing we want is to pull Miss Bennett in!
19:00Let go!
19:01Let go!
19:01Oh!
19:01Oh!
19:05Right!
19:07Well, we'll have to swim back!
19:09Yes!
19:09Well, we can't leave Miss Bennett here!
19:11No!
19:12Sorry!
19:23I'm afraid you're going to have to put in more effort than that!
19:26This isn't easy!
19:29Yes, well, we wouldn't be in this situation if you'd have waited, I'm sure, like any other gentleman!
19:36I think I swallowed the water!
19:38Yes, I'm sure!
19:40Yes, I'm sure!
20:08Forgive me intruding!
20:09I needed legal advice, and when I heard Tom was in the lakes, well, I could hardly resist!
20:14How lovely to see you, Mr. Ryder!
20:16What is this legal matter that simply could not wait?
20:19Oh, it's not urgent!
20:21No, let's enjoy ourselves first!
20:23I had not realised I would find such a happy party gathered here!
20:27You two will catch your death!
20:29Go and change!
20:31It's not such a beautiful day, I can barely feel the cold!
20:46Well, that was a much more adventurous day than I've been imagining!
20:50Yes, it was quite unexpected all around!
20:53I mean, what the hell is that here?
20:56Greetings from London!
20:59Miss Bennett!
21:00Mr Hurst!
21:02Mr Hurst!
21:03Mr Hurst!
21:03What is that smell?
21:05Is this the whole of your party?
21:07Or is...
21:07Louisa!
21:08Have you seen my silver reticule?
21:12Miss Bingley!
21:13Miss Bingley!
21:15Ryder, why are you undressed?
21:20Well, I have never been anywhere so wet and muddy in all my life, and what is that smell?
21:25That's what I said!
21:26That's oxygen!
21:26Miss Bingley!
21:27That's the smell of fresh air!
21:30Miss Bennet!
21:31No one mentioned you were going to be here!
21:35And yet, here I am!
21:38Right, well, we ought to get ourselves settled in these frightfully small rooms!
21:42Louisa!
21:43Mr Hurst!
21:44Right, I will change and meet you all for supper!
21:48By the fire to warm us up!
21:52And also, excuse me!
21:54What's my name?
21:57Oh, Mary!
22:01So, I know what shall be brought to our climb tomorrow?
22:06Other mine!
22:07I've arranged for the guide to meet us here in the morning!
22:10Ah, yes!
22:10Mr Gardiner tells us that you are climbing Scarfell tomorrow!
22:14That is true!
22:16Then we shall join you!
22:18You would need to make proper preparations before undertaking such a climb!
22:22Of course, Mr Hayward would rather confine us to smooth lakes and calm views!
22:26I would just be happy to make it through the day without one of your particular adventures!
22:31What about you, Miss Bingley?
22:33What?
22:33Mrs Hurst!
22:34Will you join us?
22:35It is a difficult climb!
22:38A most difficult climb!
22:40I have long wished to see the place that birthed such magnificent verses!
22:45A few inconveniences on the way are a small price to pay!
22:49Do you read poetry, Miss Bingley?
22:51I didn't know you cared for it!
22:52It is a passion I share only with my friends!
22:57Tell me, how long will this climb take?
22:59I think, I think I'll turn in!
23:01Well, it depends on our pace.
23:04I think the guide will be able to give us a better restaurant!
23:06Mr Ryder, I am...
23:07Oh!
23:08Are you sure?
23:09May I?
23:09Oh, um...
23:21Perhaps you and I might walk together.
23:24Tomorrow.
23:26Away from the ground.
23:29I'd very much like that!
23:30Yes!
23:33And at the top of the mountain, we might finish that conversation that we started.
23:38On the boat.
23:45Tom, shall we discuss provisions for the climb?
23:49Good night, Miss Bennet.
23:51Good night.
23:53Excuse me, I just...
23:55I don't know that.
23:57Yes, Miss Bennet.
23:59I have been wanting to speak to you, to...
24:03Apologise...
24:03Oh, uh...
24:04For my proposal at Bemberley.
24:08Please, think no more of it.
24:10I now see a way in which it is possible for us to have all that.
24:15And still...
24:16conform.
24:18I'd hope to see you again in London, but...
24:21I found you here, and that must mean something.
24:27My situation has changed somewhat, and...
24:30Mr Ryder, we need your knowledge of the mountains to settle an argument.
24:35One moment.
24:38Miss Bennet, the top of Scarfell Pike is the most beautiful place I have ever seen.
24:46Once we get there, I will make amends to you.
24:58I had arrived in the lakes determined to make my own way in the world.
25:04Could it be that once I had firmly accepted I did not wish to marry at all?
25:08I had somehow won the admiration of two dear friends?
