TVTranscript
00:24The
00:25loss of my father was a leap into the unknown.
00:29Longborn was my childhood home, and although I had my struggles here, it was all I had
00:35ever known.
00:37From now on, would I be relying on the hospitality of my sisters, destined to spend my days as
00:45my mother's companion?
00:48What other choice did I have?
00:54I do not expect any of you to understand my pain.
00:59The bond Mr. Bennett and I shared was a rare thing.
01:04I do not know that I shall ever eat again.
01:10Who is that?
01:12I do not know, Mama.
01:14What sort of person would impinge upon our hour of mourning so distastefully?
01:21Charlotte!
01:24I am afraid you find us in a state of some disarray.
01:29Understandably.
01:30We have been wanting to see you all since we heard the terrible news, but knew you would
01:35need time as a family to-
01:37To gather your things.
01:38Yourselves.
01:39Together.
01:43I want to make it quite clear that there is no rush for you to leave Longborn.
01:56Thank you, Mr. Collins.
01:58You are quite welcome to stay here with us for a full two weeks.
02:01Two weeks?
02:03Mrs. Bennett, there really is no hurry for you and Mary to leave.
02:06But I have arranged you some help with the packing.
02:09So you are not obliged to undertake such a difficult task during your hour of need?
02:15Hmm.
02:28Mama, you must come and stay with Mr. Bring Me A Night in Everfield.
02:32We have a number of cooks and more servants than we know what to do with.
02:37Oh, Jane.
02:39I would be delighted.
02:41It would bring me great comfort to be in a sightable property with a large number of
02:46staff at my disposal.
02:49And Mary, you of course must come too.
02:54But if you're worried about company, Caroline Bingley stays with us often.
03:00Well, yes, but I have not yet thought through my future prospects.
03:06Hmm.
03:07Speaking of your prospects, Mary, I have received a letter from my brother and his wife in London.
03:13Their governess has been called back to Norfolk and they have asked me to send you to stay
03:18with them until a suitable replacement is found.
03:21There is going to be a governess.
03:23Oh, Mary.
03:24I would very much like to help, but you will need me, Mama.
03:28I have already accepted their offer.
03:32They're sending a carriage.
03:35But, Mama...
03:36Do not worry about me, Mary.
03:38I shall have Jane by my side.
03:55If my options in life really were marriage or misery, it looked very much as though I
04:02was destined for misery.
04:11Mrs. Bennet is indisposed.
04:15Oh.
04:17Of course.
04:19Thank you, Hill.
04:21Yeah.
04:27Um...
04:29What if the children don't like me?
04:32Why should they not like you?
04:34You're a perfectly likeable soul.
04:39I have nothing ready to teach them.
04:42Mary, nobody knows more facts about anything than you.
04:48It's time for you to get out and see the world.
04:52Meet some other people that live in it.
04:54I think it'll do you good.
04:57Do not be frightened, Miss Mary.
04:59Oh, no.
05:00I'm not.
05:00I'm not...
05:01No.
05:01I'm just, um...
05:04No.
05:20You're right.
05:20When we get them out, everyone can hear you.
05:22No.
05:22I would like you to get your customer.
05:23You should.
05:27That's...
05:31No, no.
05:33I feel like you didn't have to go.
06:34Oh, Mary! Welcome!
06:36Mary, you must be hungry after your journey.
06:38Would you like some toasted cheese?
06:40But first, we'll show you your room.
06:41Come in, come in!
06:44It's right at the top of the house,
06:46so you won't be disturbed by the children.
07:07How's your mother?
07:10She's had a most trying time of late.
07:12Well, you all have.
07:15Mother as well.
07:16Thank you for inquiring.
07:19And how are you, Mary?
07:22It must have been a terrible shock.
07:27It was.
07:29Well, thank you for stepping in at such short notice.
07:33We don't stand on ceremony here,
07:35especially with the children,
07:36so if you don't mind that,
07:38you'll do well with us.
07:40And the rest of your belongings
07:41will be brought up any moment.
07:43Do you have all you need?
07:45I do.
08:00Which mountain range
08:01has found the end of your armies?
08:05Oh, hi!
08:06The Andes.
08:22Oh, not so good.
08:24Mary, won't you join us for breakfast?
08:26Oh, no, no, no, sir, thank you, sir.
08:28I'm not at all hungry this morning.
08:30I shall see the children upstairs.
08:44Marianne, would you like to start?
08:47Miss Bennet, it's a pleasure to meet you.
08:50I am Marianne Gardner,
08:52and I'm 11 years old.
08:54It's my pleasure to meet you too, Miss Marianne.
08:59George!
09:02Yes, thank you, George.
09:05And this is...
09:10This is Rebecca.
09:12Thank you, Miss Rebecca.
09:15And if an organised body
09:18is not in the situation
09:20and circumstances
09:22best adapted
09:24to its sustenance
09:25and propagation,
09:27then, in conceiving
09:29an indefinite variety
09:30among the individuals
09:32of that species,
09:33we must be assured
09:36that, on the one hand,
09:38those which depart
09:39most from
09:40the best adapted constitution
09:41will be the most liable
09:43to perish.
09:44You've...
09:47You've made him go to sleep.
09:55Let us move on to history,
09:57shall we?
09:57Now, in 1492,
10:01Christopher Columbus
10:02discovered America.
10:04Now, where is America?
10:06Ah, yes, America.
10:09Uh...
10:13Where has Rebecca gone?
10:15There were very clearly
10:16three of you in this room
10:17when I began
10:18looking at the globe,
10:19and now there are two of you.
10:20She vanished.
10:22She's a magician.
10:24Well, magic is nothing
10:25but illusion and trickery.
10:26Oh.
10:27Now, where could she be?
10:30Oh!
10:30Tom!
10:31You're here!
10:31Tom!
10:32Can we finish lessons now?
10:33Yes.
10:34Oh, forgive the intrusion.
10:36I, er...
10:36came to tell you
10:37that dinner is served
10:38and...
10:39You must be
10:40Miss Bennet.
10:41I...
10:42I must be.
10:44Oh, yes.
10:45I am.
10:46Uh...
10:46Tom Hayward.
10:47Oh.
10:48Friend of the family.
10:51Hmm?
10:55Aren't there normally
10:56three of you?
10:57There were three,
10:58certainly,
10:59but I was looking at
11:02America,
11:03and when I looked back,
11:04it was...
11:11Do you have mice,
11:12Miss Bennet?
11:13For if you do,
11:14might I suggest
11:15you do not keep them
11:16in the toy trunk?
11:19Well, I...
11:20I wasn't sure.
11:22I thought perhaps
11:22mice like
11:24toy trunks.
11:25No, you see,
11:26in there,
11:26they cannot get
11:27to their cheese.
11:28Actually,
11:29it's a fallacy
11:30that mice like cheese.
11:33Of course.
11:34They're much more
11:35partial to root vegetables
11:36and grains.
11:38Yes.
11:38Indeed.
11:39I'm a rabbit.
11:43I'm a rabbit.
11:44Mr. Hayward?
11:47Mr. Hayward,
11:48I am keeping
11:49a rabbit
11:50in the toy trunk
11:52because...
11:53I...
11:56because rabbits
11:57are not at all
11:58social creatures.
11:59Exactly.
12:00Yes, they are.
12:05Now,
12:06why exactly
12:07do you have
12:07a new governess?
12:09Is it that
12:10you keep eating them?
12:17Tom helped
12:18Edward with
12:18the legal matter
12:19some years ago
12:20and we've been
12:21friends ever since.
12:22Did you know
12:22that I've asked
12:23for at my lodges?
12:24Oh.
12:25Yes.
12:26Oh.
12:27What is
12:28a revolutionary
12:29Republican?
12:34Well,
12:34as discussed
12:36during the lesson,
12:37they're often
12:38associated with
12:39Jacobinism.
12:40But my point
12:41really was...
12:41Sounds like you had
12:42a very interesting
12:43first day,
12:43Miss Bennet.
12:44Well,
12:45have you read
12:46Catherine Macaulay,
12:48Miss Bennet?
12:49Yes, I have.
12:50Yes.
12:52Mary told us
12:53about smallpox
12:54and I shall
12:55never sleep again.
12:56Well,
12:57you asked me
12:58to be truthful.
12:59What's a deadly rash?
13:01She said
13:01it can leave one
13:02blind or dead.
13:04That is not
13:05quite how I put it.
13:06Blind or dead,
13:07she said.
13:07Well,
13:07that is true.
13:08There's a mortality
13:09rate of about
13:1030%.
13:1230%.
13:14Exactly.
13:15George cried
13:16three times.
13:19There was something
13:19in my eye.
13:20We held hands
13:21until Mary
13:22had finished talking.
13:24Well,
13:25you're never
13:25to youn't
13:26to learn about
13:26life.
13:28I think
13:28our game
13:29is in order,
13:29don't you?
13:30I think
13:31that's a very
13:31good idea.
13:32Yes!
13:33Yes!
13:33I'm first!
13:34But what
13:35shall we play?
13:36Graces!
13:38Let's show Mary
13:39how to play
13:39graces!
13:40Yes!
13:42Marianne?
13:43Well called,
13:44Marianne!
13:45Well done.
13:45Bravo!
13:47You're to back up.
13:48Woo!
13:49Oh!
13:51That counts!
13:52It does indeed.
13:53It does indeed.
13:54It does indeed.
13:55Oh!
13:57You'll need to get
13:58someone to look at that.
13:59Send it to Blythe,
14:00he'll fix it for you.
14:02Ready?
14:03Yay!
14:04Well done.
14:05Yes!
14:06Well done.
14:07Flare play.
14:08You look like a wizard.
14:10Yes.
14:17Are you sure
14:17you won't join in,
14:18Mary?
14:19Oh,
14:20no,
14:20I'm not good at games.
14:22That doesn't matter
14:23at all.
14:25Yes.
14:27Well,
14:28you couldn't possibly
14:28be as ungainly
14:29as I am.
14:30Really,
14:31I'd only spoil it.
14:38George.
14:39Ready?
14:41Oh!
14:42Oh!
14:49Yes, Tom.
14:50It's Mr. Gun.
14:52Oh!
14:53Ah!
15:11Yes?
15:13Mary?
15:16Do not look so grave, my dear. You're not in trouble.
15:20With the weather getting warmer, we're about to become more sociable.
15:23Oh, please, do not feel any obligation to involve me.
15:26I should be quite content to stay upstairs with the children.
15:29Mary, we want you to join us.
15:33But I do not sparkle at dinners.
15:37In our house, no one is obliged to sparkle.
15:42Then, of course.
15:45But we need to get you properly dressed.
15:47Oh.
15:48I thought perhaps tomorrow we could go to the haberdashers and you could pick out some fabrics.
15:51I do not really care for dresses.
15:54That's a shame, but very well.
15:59Perhaps think about it, Mary.
16:01There is a dress allowance as part of your governess' wages.
16:05I have thought about it.
16:07And I would very much like to accept your kind offer.
16:10That's excellent news.
16:14Well, good night, Mary.
16:16And thank you for today.
16:26This must be sucked a chain from Meriton.
16:29It most certainly is.
16:41What do you think of the deep greens?
16:44We have a soiree coming up.
16:46Now, I think deep green would be perfect.
16:50Mother has always said it's terribly difficult to get any colour to work with my complexion.
16:54Really?
16:55Well, perhaps your complexions change because I can see many colours here which would work well on you.
17:00But the most important thing being is that you choose fabrics that you truly like.
17:07But Mother says that Mother isn't here.
17:13Mrs. Gardner?
17:14Oh.
17:15Miss Bennet.
17:16Tom!
17:17Mr. Hayward, have you brought your jacket to be mounted?
17:21I have just this minute dropped it off.
17:22Well, now that you're here, you can make yourself useful.
17:26Miss Bennet needs to choose some dress fabric.
17:29I find myself quite overwhelmed by the choice.
17:32Well, I shall be honest and say that my experience of picking dress fabric is limited, to say the least.
17:38But I shall try.
17:41Have you seen the names of these colours?
17:44We've got Dust of Ruins, Corbeau, Flamme de Bonche, anyone?
17:51Um, I think I shall take the Drake's neck with a splash of non-key.
17:56Anyone for Gaboge?
17:58Well, I mean, that's just yellow, that one.
18:01Yes.
18:02Yes.
18:05I think my advice would be to choose the colours that make one feel most like oneself.
18:10And I am sorry not to be of more use.
18:13I should return to my desk and a particularly unexciting land negotiation.
18:19Good day.
18:21Good day.
18:26Oh, poor Tom.
18:28He works so hard.
18:29Really?
18:30Underneath that light-hearted manor, carries the weight of the world on his shoulders.
18:37Now, have you decided?
18:41I have chosen.
18:43Very well, Mary.
18:47The first is this crimson.
18:50And then I thought perhaps a spring green trim.
18:54Lovely.
18:55Yes.
18:56But you will need two dresses.
18:57So, perhaps...
19:00China blue?
19:02Hmm.
19:05Do you think a dress in the spring green alone would be garish?
19:10What do you think, Mary?
19:14Some people may think it is wild.
19:16But...
19:18I like it.
19:20Then I think you should please yourself and not worry what others may think.
19:25You've done a very good job.
19:26Now.
19:30Now.
19:54Oh, my God.
20:01The gardeners are out. They're buying shoes for the children.
20:05Oh. Would you like to play graces?
20:11Well, um, yes. Thank you.
20:19Ready? Yes.
20:24Oh! Oh!
20:28I did it.
20:29You did? Natural.
20:32Beginner's luck.
20:33Right, um...
20:36Ready?
20:37Uh, um...
20:39One moment. Oh.
20:46What the hell...
20:55It's gonna be too much.
20:58Oh, my God.
20:58Oh, my God.
21:00Oh, my God.
21:20Ready?
21:21Yes.
21:24Oh.
21:25Oh, oh, oh!
21:27Oh!
21:28Um, uh, uh, yeah, um, that's...
21:32That's probably enough crisis for today.
21:36Um, oh, yes, uh, I brought a book for Mrs Byler.
21:41Oh, of course, yes, uh...
21:43Ah, poetry.
21:45Do you like poetry, Miss Bennet?
21:47I prefer facts to whimsy.
21:52Whimsy?
21:53I've tried, uh, well, Cowper, uh, Byron, even some Dryden,
21:58but, um...
22:00Well, it seems to me that it's all just words.
22:05What were you expecting?
22:08Are you a scholar, sir?
22:10Uh, no.
22:12I'm a barrister, junior.
22:14And though the law is my business, poetry is my passion.
22:19What do you like to read?
22:21Uh, works of non-fiction, really.
22:24Um, histories and, uh, and geology.
22:27And what do you like to read for pleasure?
22:31That is reading for pleasure.
22:34There is nothing you like about poetry.
22:51Well...
22:56I believe that this is the book that will open the heart of Miss Mary Bennet.
23:06Oh.
23:09The garden is at home.
23:10Oh, is it...
23:11Ah, yes.
23:12Yes.
23:12Uh, well, yes.
23:14Um...
23:15Uh, I have a coat off.
23:17Oh, Tom!
23:19Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
23:28Oh.
23:42And we'll need more scallops.
23:44Mrs. Shonley will claim she couldn't possibly before helping herself to seven.
23:49Must be very strange without your family here.
23:53There was always at least one argument about stolen perfume.
24:02Mary, you look lovely.
24:06I'm not sure.
24:10I think we should let your hair fall naturally.
24:13No point trying to force it into curls if it doesn't want to go.
24:21Here.
24:33Here it goes.
24:43Here it goes.
24:50Here it goes.
25:01Um, I mean, that's basically it, but they're awfully fun to hunt.
25:10Good evening. I do not believe we have met. I'm Miss Baxter.
25:16Delighted to meet you, Miss Baxter.
25:17Um, I am Miss Bennet. I have not long moved to London from Hertfordshire.
25:23Ah.
25:24Farnshaw, Mr Farnshaw.
25:30A friend of my mother's died eating those nuts.
25:35One got stuck in his throat and that was it. He was quite dead in minutes.
25:43Oh, I hope I didn't cause any offence.
25:46That was marvellous. Oh, I shall keep that story in mind for when I want to be rid of someone.
25:51Forgive me, it wasn't deliberate.
25:55I hate the first 20 minutes of these evenings.
25:58As do I.
25:59I never know who to talk to and I often find myself saying the wrong things.
26:07Your dress is striking. It looks very well on you.
26:10You really think so? I feel a little bold in it.
26:13Well, you're in London, Miss Bennet.
26:15If you're going to be bold, here is the place to do it.
26:20Perhaps London will be the start of something new for you.
26:23Perhaps it will.
26:23Well, and if you want to be shown around town, I could call on you.
26:38London, it turned out, was a place of learning as much as teaching.
26:43A place of trying new things.
26:46And though I had never liked change, I seemed to be enjoying myself.
26:54Much about me felt different after just one week.
26:59Being here had lifted my spirits.
27:02I felt something long forgotten.
27:05Oh, Alice!
27:06Hope.
27:08Are you looking for someone?
27:12You must tell me all about it in a moment.
27:16Meg, there's a gentleman I'd like you to meet.
27:19We have something of an understanding.
27:22Please may I introduce Mr. Tom Hayward.
27:30We've already met.
27:32Miss Bennet?
27:32Oh, of course, you must have.
27:35Oh, I see you went for the Pomona trim.
27:39It's spring green.
27:40It's quite different to Pomona.
27:42Well, it suits you very well.
27:46Tom!
27:47Excuse us, ladies.
27:48You must come and meet my colleague, Mr. May.
27:55Mr. Hayward and I met three years ago this spring.
27:58We are hoping to be married next year.
28:01Not everything went exactly as I would have liked.
28:04Come on.
28:07Please excuse us.
28:08Come, Mary. It'll be fun.
