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