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