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.
04:21I have something for you.
04:23I have something for you.
04:24I have something for you.
04:27I have something for you.
04:29I have something for you.
04:30Sorry, forgive me.
04:31It was nothing.
04:33Please.
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.
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.
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.
05:37They 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.
06:26Well...
06:37I heard our friend, Mr. Ryder, came to visit you at Pimberley.
06:41Oh, well, um, 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, 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.
07:14Now I'm cast off.
07:16Ah.
07:17What's the name of that mountain there?
07:19I 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 Bennet?
07:40No.
07:40Not in the least.
07:41I think I've got to talk.
07:42I'm enthusiastic.
07:44I'll get the net.
07:44Yes.
07:44Well, that'll do.
07:46That 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.
07:59I really only hope that I didn't speak out of turn by mentioning Miss Baxter.
08:04Oh, no.
08:05Not at all.
08:06Miss Baxter and I have no sense how I've been through.
08:09Something is definitely important.
08:13It's sizable.
08:14Bring it in slowly.
08:15No, no.
08:16Just let the rod do the work.
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.
08:28I'm not eating that.
08:32It's moving.
08:54All right, no.
08:55I cannot show you, Mr. Hayward.
08:56My sketches, they're an offence to both the lake and to art itself.
09:01Oh.
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.
09:12But please tell no one of what you see.
09:14Do not show me if you're being modest.
09:15I shall feel wretched if you're actually well drawn.
09:18No, they're not.
09:18And I have to warn you, it will be impossible for you to ever think of me as a feeling
09:21once you've seen these.
09:22I have no artistic talent.
09:24At all.
09:35Oh.
09:36Oh.
09:38No, these are...
09:40No, these are quite terrible.
09:42I mean, I don't even know what that is.
09:45That?
09:46That is a dog, 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 much, 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...
10:20Mr. 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.
10:35Wondering 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...
10:49Perhaps...
10:51Find yourself...
10:52A match?
10:54Oh...
10:54No.
10:55No.
10:56Mr. Hayward, no.
10:57I...
10:57I'm at peace with that.
11:02Do you not think it might be worth you having one last look about?
11:06Just to make sure.
11:07No.
11:08I've learnt my lesson.
11:10Any looking about will only lead to disappointment.
11:16Oh.
11:17Anyway, I'm sure...
11:19I'm sure you do not wish to...
11:21Discuss...
11:21Engagements.
11:24Well, the truth is...
11:25Is there a lark?
11:26That sings?
11:28Mr. Hayward?
11:31Oh, perhaps it is a thrush.
11:32No, no.
11:33Uh, the 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...
11:56I find the lark is a bit more...
12:02I think...
12:04The lark's 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.
12:15Yes.
12:24Mr. Hayward.
12:25Mr. Hayward.
12:25Mr. Hayward.
12:26Come in!
12:31Good evening, Mary.
12:39How have you enjoyed your day?
12:42Very much so.
12:46You and Mr Haywood 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'm sure Mr Haywood felt that they were.
13:17Did he?
13:21Good night, Mary.
13:49You can't shoot.
14:01What are you reading?
14:08Tentan Abbey.
14:09Oh, that's not 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?
14:23From where you are.
14:27Oh, well.
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.
14:57Feelings, 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 a 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.
16:35Yes, 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.
17:41Is that a rider?
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.
17:52And an 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 than that.
18:20Mr. Hayward!
18:23I'm fine.
18:25How do you always manage to cause such a scene?
18:27It's my bracing, isn't it?
18:33Could you help, Miss Bennet?
18:34Yes!
18:35Miss Bennet, could you get an oar, please?
18:37Yes, of course.
18:40No, that's not quite what's happening.
18:43Miss Bennet, could you get the other oar?
18:46And hold on to the other end.
18:48Yes.
18:57Let's go.
18:57The last thing we want is to pull Miss Bennet in.
18:59No, let go.
19:01Let's go.
19:01Oh, sorry, yes, of course!
19:05Right.
19:07Well, we'll have to swim back.
19:09Yes, well, we can't leave Miss Bennet here.
19:11No.
19:12Sorry.
19:13Sorry.
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 on the floor like any other gentleman.
19:36I think I swallowed the water.
19:38Yes, I'm sure.
20:01Thank you, Mr.
20:03Mr. Ryder, Mr. Gardner, Mrs. Gardner.
20:07Please forgive 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.
20:32I 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 Burnett.
21:00Mr. Hurst.
21:02Mr. Hurst, Hurst, Hurst.
21:03What is that smell?
21:05Is this the whole of your party?
21:06Or 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.
21:23And what is that smell?
21:25That's what I said.
21:25That'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.
21:39We ought to get ourselves settled in these frightfully small rooms.
21:43Louisa?
21:43Mr. Hurst?
21:44Right, I will change and meet you all for supper.
21:48Buy the fire to warm us up.
21:52And also excuse me, Miss Bennet.
21:57Mary.
22:01So, are you very much looking forward to our climb tomorrow?
22:06Other mine.
22:07I've arranged for the guide to meet us here in the morning.
22:09Ah, 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.
22:23Mr. 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, will 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? I 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?
23:00I think I'll turn in.
23:01Well, it depends on our pace.
23:03I think the guide will be able to give us a better estimate.
23:05Mr. Ryder, I am a little...
23:07Oh, you're sure?
23:08Quite.
23:09Oh, um...
23:11Oh, um...
23:21Perhaps you and I might walk together tomorrow, away from the ground.
23:29I'd very much like that.
23:33And at the top of the mountain, we might finish that conversation that we started on the boat.
23:44Tom, shall we discuss provisions for the climb?
23:49Good night, Miss Bennet.
23:51Good night.
23:53Excuse me, I just...
23:57Miss Bennet, I have been wanting to speak to you to apologize...
24:03Oh, uh...
24:04...for 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 and still conform.
24:18I'd hope to see you again in London, but I 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?
25:15I had somehow won the admiration of two dear friends.
