00:23Miss Bennet
00:26You are
00:27quite unlike anyone
00:29I have ever met
00:31You speak your mind with a
00:34refreshing directness
00:35and you do not force yourself
00:38to conform to society's ideals
00:39I imagine it will come as
00:41no surprise when I say I
00:45have developed the greatest affection for you
00:53I cannot understand why a man
00:55such as Mr Ryder would propose to Mary
00:57Oh shush, perhaps he won't
01:00Mother may have got her hopes up for nothing
01:02We shall never know his intentions if
01:03you two keep talking
01:06What is happening?
01:07Mr Ryder and Mary are in the library
01:08and appear to be having a serious
01:11conversation
01:12I suppose most women of better looks
01:13and livelier character were already taken
01:16It cannot be a match driven by passion
01:18Not all matches driven by passion
01:20turn out well
01:21Lizzie, I cannot hear what they are saying
01:23Will you all just be quiet?
01:27In these past few days
01:30I have felt a deeper understanding
01:35between us
01:36I believe you felt it too
01:39I...
01:39I took to heart
01:41the things that you said
01:43And you must
01:46For I believe we should be very happy together
01:49Miss Bennet
01:50I...
01:51I have a mind to go abroad
01:52To Italy
01:54Somewhere with...
01:55With...
01:55A lake in front of me
01:57And a...
01:58And a mountain behind
01:59Lakes are...
02:00Usually found in mountainous areas
02:01I...
02:02Um...
02:02No, although some are found in dormant volcanic craters
02:05I cannot imagine going to Italy without you
02:09Miss Bennet
02:11And...
02:12And...
02:12Therefore...
02:13I wondered
02:15Whether you might do me
02:17The greatest honour
02:19Of coming with me
02:23Well...
02:24I...
02:24I...
02:24We could read poetry all day
02:27And...
02:27And drink wine all evening
02:29Oh...
02:30I do...
02:31I like poetry
02:32And I like wine
02:33What we have loved
02:34Others will love
02:35And we will teach them how
02:37Let us...
02:38Teach each other
02:40I...
02:40I don't speak any Italian
02:42But I...
02:42I suppose I could...
02:43I...
02:43I could learn
02:44That's the spirit, Miss Bennet
02:46This is why we are such a strong match
02:48You have the courage of my convictions
02:53How so?
02:54You understand the appeal of living boldly
02:58Living with freedom
02:59Unburdened by the shackles of marriage
03:03Sorry, just to...
03:05To be very clear
03:06Um...
03:07So you're suggesting that...
03:08Um...
03:08I...
03:09I live with you
03:10In...
03:11Italy
03:12But...
03:13Um...
03:14That we remain...
03:17Unmarried
03:17Yes!
03:18Exactly!
03:20Together...
03:20But free
03:24For what woman wants to be...
03:26Owned in such a way?
03:28Oh...
03:30What do you say?
03:34I don't know what to say
03:37Of course, of course
03:38You must sleep on it
03:40But if you accept
03:42We could leave for London tomorrow
03:44And...
03:44Plan our trip to Italy
03:47Ha!
03:48Ha!
03:52Ha!
03:58Ha!
04:00Ha!
04:01Ha!
04:03Ha!
04:04Ha!
04:04Ha!
04:06Ha!
04:07Ha!
04:07Well, Mary?
04:09Come, Mary dear
04:11Who would have thought you'd make such an excellent match?
04:14No, I...
04:16I...
04:16He didn't propose
04:17Mama
04:18What do you mean he did not propose?
04:21I mean that...
04:23Uh...
04:23He called me in there to talk about...
04:26Um...
04:27A sermon
04:29On...
04:29Uh...
04:30Good works
04:31Mary, this is no time for one of your poor attempts at humour
04:35Mama
04:36Mr Ryder
04:37Showered you with attention
04:39Only to pull you aside to discuss...
04:42A sermon
04:44Well...
04:45We shall see about that
04:47I am sure Mr Ryder will make his intentions clear in his own time
04:51Yes
04:53Yes, he will
04:55Mary?
04:57I shall choose your dress for supper
05:00Perhaps something of Liz's
05:02Hmm
05:03Hmm
05:07Oh
05:07Wait
05:08Uh...
05:09Interestingly...
05:10Charlotte!
05:12Oh
05:12Mr Collins
05:14Looks as though you were all waiting for us
05:16We were not
05:17Mrs Bennet, I am pleased to see you looking so well
05:20I see you didn't rush to pay your respects
05:23Do not wish to impose?
05:25How are you?
05:27Um
05:28All
05:28I long to know everything
05:30Well
05:30There is something of a situation involving Mary
05:34Thank you, Lydia
05:34We were just getting ready for supper
05:36Come!
05:38Ha!
05:39Yes
05:41Ha!
05:41Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha..
05:43Thank you
05:43Oh
05:44You sit up straight, dear
05:47Mary
05:48Is looking very well tonight
05:50Mr Ryder do you not agree?
05:52I do indeed
05:54My daughters are a handsome set
05:56They most certainly are
05:58More wine, disadvantage of the wine you're requested
06:01And only one unmarried.
06:04Did you hear Charlotte's news of Longbourn, Mama?
06:07In the drawing room, we have opened up an orange room.
06:09How did you enjoy your ride this afternoon, Mr. Ryder?
06:12Mmm. It was very pleasant.
06:15Excellent company.
06:16Mother, Mr. Darcy and I are thinking of holding a dinner in honour of your recovery.
06:22Hmm.
06:23Very good idea, Lizzie.
06:25Was it your horse, Miss Bennet, that picked these blackberries where it came?
06:30Is that what she was doing this afternoon?
06:32Well, if it is, I feel quite terrible now for having dragged her away.
06:35So you should. Rather delicious.
06:37Have you always lived in London, Mr. Ryder?
06:40I have.
06:42Although, my plan is to move to Italy. Quite soon.
06:45Italy? How long for?
06:48To settle for the rest of my days.
06:50Or for as long as my fancy takes me.
06:53Well, wherever you choose, you will need a knowledgeable companion by your side.
06:59As you know, Mary reads a great deal.
07:03She has a very well-informed mind.
07:05Though do not let that put you off.
07:07Miss Bennet is an extraordinary young woman.
07:10Young? Why Italy?
07:12For its history, its beauty.
07:15To wake up each morning to a view of a mountain.
07:18Ah, in reality, mountainous regions play havoc with one's rheumatism.
07:23Well, I think that sounds quite perfect.
07:25It really does.
07:27You find Longbourn tedious with its drafts.
07:30I hardly think you would cope in mountains.
07:33I will never know, will I?
07:38I did not know you spoke Italian, Mr. Ryder.
07:42Bocco.
07:43Bless you.
07:46I am quite looking forward to the peace and stillness of a foreign lad.
07:51Yes.
07:52Yes, it would be most welcome.
08:06Mary?
08:11I remember very well being the subject of Mother's plotting.
08:16It is quite a lot to bear.
08:18It is indeed.
08:21Engagements can take time.
08:24It is no small decision.
08:26And important not to rush.
08:28If Mr. Ryder does not propose, you must not think it is a reflection on you.
08:33Mr. Ryder has already proposed.
08:47It was a kind of proposal.
08:52Oh?
08:54Mr. Ryder proposed that I live with him in Italy, reading poetry and drinking wine.
09:03That sounds quite perfect.
09:05It does.
09:06Doesn't it?
09:06It does.
09:07I think I'd very much like to travel.
09:09I would certainly rise to the challenge of a new language.
09:13I have to give him my decision tomorrow morning.
09:16Well, what did you mean by a kind of proposal?
09:21Mr. Ryder believes that we should go to Italy, but remain unmarried.
09:32He proposed that you should be his mistress.
09:34Not in those words.
09:35I have never heard such a suggestion in my life.
09:37Oh, well, sadly, Lizzie, I think most of us will never find ourselves in a romantic situation as perfect as
09:41yours.
09:41But he insults you.
09:42He does not.
09:43Oh, Mr. Ryder believes that women shouldn't be owned in such a way as marriage, so he prefers a modern
09:49arrangement.
09:50I'm sure he does, one that is far more convenient for him.
09:53If he tires of this arrangement, he can easily move on, whilst your reputation is ruined forever.
10:00Do you think he will tire of me?
10:01Of course not, Mary.
10:02I...
10:04Marriage is the only thing a woman has to protect herself against such difficulties.
10:08Please, tell me you are not seriously considering his offer.
10:14I mean, I've begun to think I'm not...
10:16I'm not much suited to conventional life.
10:22I've always been the odd one out.
10:24I...
10:26Oh, I know.
10:27I know the scandal would be huge.
10:29I know Mother would be mortified.
10:31But Mr. Ryder, he treats me well.
10:34He makes me laugh.
10:35He is...
10:36He is interested in me.
10:41And I could escape.
10:56Mr. Ryder is clearly fond of you.
11:01And it is admirable that he has his own way of seeing the world.
11:10But you deserve better than this offer.
11:16Lizzie.
11:18You have grown up with no shortage of suitors.
11:21And you're at home, too.
11:23You have...
11:23You've always been...
11:24Mary, we've had largely the same upbringing.
11:26No, no.
11:27We may have grown up in the same house with the same mother and father and the same sisters.
11:31But your experience of life has been wholly different to my own.
11:36You were celebrated.
11:38And you were...
11:39You were respected.
11:41I was not.
11:43I mean, for the rest of you, even in your worst moments growing up,
11:46you could look to me and think,
11:49at least I'm not Mary.
11:51That's not true.
11:52It's absolutely true.
11:55But I always admired your strength,
11:56that you never cared what Mother or any of us thought.
11:59Of course I cared!
12:01Well, you always did things your own way.
12:03That was the only way I knew!
12:11Mary...
12:11All I want is to protect you.
12:14Oh.
12:15Or protect yourself
12:16from whatever shame I might bring on the family.
12:22How could you think such a thing?
12:39Do you love Mr. Ryder?
12:46Oh, my God.
13:11Oh.
13:12Right.
13:14Here, sir.
13:20Here you are, sir.
13:24Yes, sir.
13:27Yes, sir.
13:28Ah!
13:29Good morning, Miss Bennet.
13:31Good morning.
13:32And it is a perfect morning for travelling.
13:41I have enjoyed these last few days with you enormously.
13:46You have been a beam of light in the darkness,
13:50and I do not know what I would have done without your company.
13:55I have felt the same way.
14:03But I cannot accept your interesting proposal.
14:13I thought that you and I were aligned.
14:17I appreciate how important your ideas are to you.
14:20I know how strongly you feel about freedom in love.
14:30But, well, I am still very much bound by the expectations of society.
14:39And the expectations I have for myself.
14:47Of course.
14:49I see.
14:52Goodbye, Mr. Ryder.
14:57My best wishes to your family.
15:01Goodbye.
15:28Here we go.
15:32Good morning, Mary.
15:35Mother, I trust you slept well last night?
15:39I did, yes. Thank you.
15:41You must keep up your strength.
15:44Who knows what today may bring?
15:47Ah, here he is.
15:51What are you doing here?
15:53Oh, I was...
15:54Do join us, cousin.
15:56Where on earth is Mr Ryder?
15:58Ah, Mr Ryder has left.
16:01Don't be ridiculous, Mr Collins. He has no plans to leave.
16:05I saw him. I saw him climb into his carriage and go.
16:11Mary?
16:12Yes, Mr Ryder has left. He's left. Bemberley.
16:16Did he make you an offer of marriage?
16:20I will not be marrying Mr Ryder.
16:25I will not be marrying anyone.
16:28What did you do?
16:30I'm sure Mary didn't do anything.
16:32Why is everything with you so relentlessly disappointing?
16:39Beautiful morning.
16:53Mother, I am sorry if I have disappointed you.
16:58I sometimes think you delight in vexing me.
17:02I do not.
17:05It is not too late.
17:08Too late for what, Mother?
17:11To write to Mr Ryder and beg his forgiveness.
17:15His forgiveness?
17:17For whatever it is you did that drove him away.
17:23Do you think the gardeners will have you back when they hear what you have done to Mr Ryder?
17:35Mother...
17:36If you will not write to him and ask him to return, then I shall write to my brother and
17:41tell him you are obliged to stay here with me.
17:46If you are incapable of taking advantage of the opportunities London society offers you in finding you a match, then
17:55you shall remain here with me instead.
18:22Goodbye, Jane.
18:24Goodbye.
18:25Bye.
18:26Bye.
18:26I'll be thinking of you.
18:27Thank you, Mummy.
18:29Good luck with Mother.
18:30Bye to you.
18:32Bye.
18:35Bye.
18:39Bye.
18:43Bye.
18:45Bye.
18:47Bye.
18:48Bye.
18:50Bye.
18:54Bye.
18:55Bye.
18:55Bye.
18:55Oh, you make it worse.
19:07Mary, don't do that.
19:11Sorry, Mother.
19:14You endlessly try my patience.
19:38Do not leave on my account, Miss Bennet.
19:43Sorry, I cannot provide good company today.
19:48I've noticed you've been most subdued of late.
19:51If I can be of any help, do you say we men of the cloth can offer the most useful
19:56counsel?
19:58Thank you, Mr Collins.
20:01I am...
20:03I'm often alone myself.
20:05Mrs Collins has so many duties and preoccupations that she has very little time left to spend with me.
20:11Oh.
20:12It seems I have the habit of frustrating her.
20:18As I tend to do everyone.
20:20No, not at all, Mr Collins.
20:25My father often commented that I was worthless.
20:28I thought a great deal about turning myself into something different, someone easy and obliging.
20:36But...
20:38Somehow, I can't.
20:42I've always struck the wrong note with people.
20:47Even in childhood.
20:49I felt the same way, many times.
20:53I...
20:54I think you have much to offer, Mr Collins.
21:00Er...
21:01Excuse me, I realise I'm now burdening you with my troubles.
21:04No, not at all.
21:07Hmm.
21:08What are you reading?
21:10Hmm?
21:11Oh, er...
21:13Aristotle.
21:15Er...
21:17Looking into the question of...
21:20happiness.
21:23Happiness?
21:24Hmm.
21:26What it is.
21:28How one might...
21:30Find it.
21:33Do you, um...
21:34Do you have an answer?
21:38Well...
21:39I'm not quite sure.
21:41I've found some points of interest.
21:45Please, would you tell me what you know, Mr Collins?
21:50Oh, er...
21:50What I've discovered seems to suggest that it is only through self-knowledge that genuine happiness is experienced.
21:59Through self-knowledge?
22:00Hmm.
22:00I...
22:01I think it is only when we have examined and understood our strengths and weaknesses and been honest enough about
22:08what we truly desire from life...
22:11Only then, do you have any chance at all of retaining happiness.
22:17So, what Aristotle is saying is that...
22:21Our happiness...
22:25Is in our own hands.
22:28Yes.
22:30Oh.
22:30I think so, yes.
22:33Interesting thought, isn't it?
22:35It's most interesting.
22:43Mary!
22:45It is him!
22:47It must be Mr Ryder coming back to try again!
23:01Uncle!
23:02Mary!
23:05Jane!
23:16You reminded us of the importance of protecting our health.
23:21And so, Edward and I have decided to spend some much-needed time in the lakes.
23:26Hmm. Wonderful. Quite wonderful.
23:27All that wind would play havoc with my nerves.
23:31And we were wondering whether Mary might join us.
23:35Mary?
23:35Yes. We thought perhaps Mary could join us in the lakes and then return with us to London.
23:40Elizabeth wrote to us explaining that Mary was without much to occupy her here.
23:45She has a very good occupation. She is my companion.
23:49I think it's a very sensible idea for Mary to get some fresh air.
23:52Oh, do you now?
23:53What do you think, Mary?
23:55Mary will not leave me.
23:57She knows I do not have many years left.
23:59And she wants to spend this precious time at my side.
24:03Isn't that right, Mary?
24:06Mother, Mr. Darcy and I have arranged a new companion for you.
24:12She's called Susan.
24:13Susan?
24:15Am I to be looked after by a Susan?
24:19Susan?
24:19We very much enjoy Mary's company.
24:22As do I.
24:23And knowing her passion for Wordsworth...
24:25She is forbidden to leave.
24:31Aunt.
24:33Uncle.
24:35Thank you for your invitation.
24:41I would be delighted to join you.
24:44What do you mean?
24:45I think, dear sister, she means she will be joining us in the Lake Districts.
24:50What a good idea.
24:52A good decision, Mary.
24:53Well done.
24:54A most excellent decision.
24:56Always good to challenge oneself.
24:57Oh, do be quiet, Mr. Collins.
25:00Well done, Mary.
25:02Well done.
25:03You should probably go and pack.
25:05I will help.
25:19I envy you.
25:22I envy you.
25:23You envy me?
25:24The lakes.
25:26London.
25:27I never did experience much of life.
25:30It is a bold and brave decision, Mary.
25:33And for what it's worth, I think it's the right one.
25:38What?
25:41Forgive me, Charlotte.
25:42I...
25:43I don't want to speak out of turn.
25:46I mean, I often have.
25:50Only you seem...
25:54quite unhappy.
26:03When my mother told me the only choice for a woman was marriage or misery, she negated to tell me
26:10it was possible to be both married and miserable.
26:17Yes, well, my father let us in on that particular secret some years ago.
26:22Yes.
26:23But I do believe that if you look a little under the surface, you will find more to Mr. Collins
26:31than you imagine.
26:38Goodbye, Mother.
26:41I will write.
26:44As you wish.
26:48Susan!
26:51Susan!
27:01Mary, I am so sorry if you have ever felt that I was ashamed of you.
27:07For I am not.
27:09I am very proud of you.
27:19I am scared, Lizzy.
27:23What if I made all the wrong decisions?
27:32Mary, you will flourish.
27:35I am so sorry.
27:39Why this is the secret to my spouse in choice?
27:48I am so sorry if you had an answer, we will work out.
27:50I do not correct.
27:51As I did not do that, there is no trouble for you.
27:56For I am not okay.
28:00I am so sorry if we can have a problem.
28:05I have something for you.
28:11Thank you, Mr. Collins.
28:29Could it be that I decide my future?
28:34I felt sure that the lakes would offer me a chance for peace and reflection.
28:38Oh, Mary, I ought to have told you, Tom Haywood will be joining us in the lakes.
28:44I should have known that my life was never that simple.
29:19I should have known that my life was never that simple.
