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. Instead, they did everything in their power to cultivate it.
00:32Through them, I could see another way of being.
00:53I just want to stretch my legs.
01:00Of course, Mother. I hope he's with you.
01:05Anne! Mary!
01:12What are you doing here?
01:14I'm with Mr and Mrs Gardiner. 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? Are 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.
01:44Hi!
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 so 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.
02:22I 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, and while the young lambs bound as to the Tabor'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.
03:18Did 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.
03:55How 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.
04:10Good idea.
04:11Yes.
04:18Hi.
04:18Hi, Chris.
04:22Hi.
04:23Hi.
04:24Yes.
04:27I have something.
04:29I'm sorry.
04:30Forgive me.
04:31It was nothing.
04:33Please.
04:34Miss Bennett, I wondered if this might be of use to you.
04:39It's Mr. Wertherworth's guide to the lake.
04:42Where geography meets palmetry.
04:47Oh, thank you. It is most fortunate that you were able to join us.
05:01How was your time at Pemberley, Miss Bennet?
05:05Oh, Pemberley was... very busy.
05:10I'm pleased to hear that your mother has recovered.
05:13Oh, yeah, my mother was very much back to her old self.
05:19That is a good thing, is it not?
05:21Oh, well, no, yes. But, well, in her strengthened state, I think she may be more disappointed in me now
05:31than she has ever been.
05:33Well, I'm very surprised to hear that.
05:34Oh, you have not met my sisters, Mr Hayward.
05:37They are, each of them, beautiful and accomplished.
05:42I do not compare well.
05:44As my mother often observes.
05:47Miss 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 the coaching inn, quite by chance.
06:17I am sorry, Mr Hayward. I understand you must be suffering terribly.
06:26Well...
06:30Well...
06:37I heard our friend, Mr Ryder, came to visit you at Pemberley.
06:41Oh, well...
06:43Um, yes, uh...
06:43Mary!
06:43Tom!
06:44We should get going!
06:47Yes.
06:49Oh.
06:50We will speak again.
06:51Yes.
06:52Quite.
07:00I read in my fishing book that we need to find the creases, where the current meets calmer water.
07:06So now...
07:07No.
07:08You'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.
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.
07:25It's said that you can see all the way out to sea from up there.
07:28Oh, how wonderful.
07:31Would you be prepared to attend 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 Ben?
07:40No.
07:40Not in the least.
07:41I think I've got to talk.
07:42I'm...
07:42I'm enthusiastic.
07:44I'll get the net.
07:45Well, that'll do.
07:45That and good boots.
07:50What 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.
07:58I really only hope that I didn't speak out of turn by mentioning Miss Baxter.
08:04Oh no.
08:05Not at all.
08:05Not at all.
08:06Miss Baxter and I...
08:07It 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.
08:18No.
08:18So lift and reel.
08:20So lift and reel.
08:22Lift and reel.
08:23Lift and reel.
08:24Perhaps this will be your supper for the evening.
08:24museums.
08:27I'm not eating that.
08:32It's moving.
08:35Ha!
08:36Ha!
08:36Ha!
08:37Ha!
08:37Ha!
08:38Ha!
08:38Ha!
08:50Ha!
08:51Ha!
08:54Ha!
08:54Right, no, I cannot show you, Mr. Hayward. My sketches, they're an offence to both the lake and to art
09:00itself.
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 you're not actually well drawn.
09:18No, they're not. And I have to warn you, it will be impossible for you to ever think of me
09:21as a man of 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.
09:44That? That is a dog, Miss Bennett.
09:47It has too many legs.
09:51Well, could we say that it is stepping on a plant?
09:53I don't think we could.
09:54No.
09:55No.
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.
10:06Your eyed watch, Miss Bennett.
10:08No, that's another thing I possess no skill for.
10:10At Pemberley, I went riding with Miss...
10:13Um, with, uh, Mr. Ryder.
10:18Uh...
10:18Um...
10:20Um...
10:21Mr. Ryder and I are not engaged.
10:24If that's what you thought.
10:27Oh.
10:28Uh...
10:28In fact, I'm trying to think of, um...
10:32A different future for myself.
10:35I was wondering 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 you might perhaps find yourself a match?
10:53Oh, uh, no.
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?
11:06Just don't make sure.
11:07No.
11:08No.
11:09I've learnt my lesson.
11:10Any looking about will only lead to disappointment.
11:16Oh.
11:17Anyway, I'm sure...
11:18I'm sure you do not wish to discuss...
11:21Engagements.
11:24Well, the truth is...
11:25Is there a lark?
11:26That sings?
11:28Mr. Hayward?
11:30Oh, perhaps it is a thrush.
11:32No, no.
11:33Uh, the lark is more melodic.
11:35The thrush is, um...
11:40Well, look, 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...
11:56I find the lark is a bit more...
12:02I think the lark is quite a difficult one to get right.
12:06It's quite shrill.
12:07Hard on the throat.
12:08Yes.
12:09In truth, the only bird call that I'm entirely confident with is that of the London Pitchard.
12:38How have you enjoyed your day?
12:41Very 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...
13:01He'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.
13:17Did he?
13:22Good night, Mary.
13:49You can't shoot me.
14:01What are you reading?
14:08Tentan Abbey.
14:09Oh.
14:10That's not my favourite.
14:11I am quite fed up with it.
14:13It does not easily give up its secrets.
14:17What beauty is this man's name.
14:19Would you read it to me?
14:24From where you are.
14:27Oh.
14:29Well.
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 pleasure.
15:00Would you mind?
15:00Could you read on?
15:01I'd just 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, nor harsh nor grating, though of ample power to chasten and subdue.
15:47And I have felt presence that disturbs me with the joy of elevated thoughts.
16:02What do you think?
16:05Yes, no, um.
16:08Mr. Wordsworth is...
16:11Well, he's explaining our connection to nature and...
16:16To all of this.
16:19And how that connection...
16:22Grows as we age.
16:27Grows as we age.
16:32Grows as we age.
16:34Grows as we age.
16:35I'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.
17:24And I hope...
17:28I hope that you'd feel the same way.
17:35Ahoy!
17:36Ahoy there!
17:40Ahoy!
17:42Is that Ryder?
17:44What is he doing here?
17:46William Ryder!
17:47Why is he getting into the water?
17:50Oh, he's absolutely typical of that man.
17:52An impatient and ill thought through.
17:53Mr. Ryder, please be careful!
18:01What a beautiful day!
18:02What are you doing here?
18:07Mr. Ryder, please let me...
18:09I hope you don't want.
18:12Mr. Ryder, come on, Hayward!
18:14I'm a bit harder!
18:15Careful!
18:20Mr. Hayward!
18:23I'm fine!
18:25How do you always manage to cause such a scene?
18:27It's quite bracing, isn't it?
18:33Could you help, Miss Bennett?
18:34Yes!
18:35Um...
18:35Mr. Bennett, could you get an oar, please?
18:37Yes, of course!
18:40No, that's not quite what's happening!
18:43Mr. Bennett, could you get the other oar?
18:46And hold on to the other end?
18:48Yes!
18:55Now, let go.
18:57The last thing we want is to pull Miss Bennett in.
18:59Now, let go!
19:00Let's go!
19:01Let's go!
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!
19:28Yes, 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!
20:01Thank you, Mr. Bennett!
20:03Mr. Ryder!
20:04Mr. Gardiner!
20:05Mrs. Gardiner!
20:07Mr. Gardiner!
20:27Mr. Gardiner!
20:28You two will catch your death!
20:29Go and change!
