00:21The anxiety I felt over my mother's sudden illness was quite overwhelming.
00:27Losing one parent had upturned my life.
00:30To lose the other was unthinkable.
00:37Though my mother's presence had always loomed large in my life,
00:41I could not imagine myself without her.
00:47Top of the stairs, Miss Bennet.
01:19You're here!
01:21Well, don't stand in the doorway. You're letting the heat out.
01:24Mother!
01:31You look...
01:34well, doesn't she?
01:36Are you a physician all of a sudden?
01:38No, I...
01:41I'm just...
01:42I'm...
01:43I'm relieved to see that you're improved.
01:47You look like you haven't slept in days.
01:49And whose dress are you wearing?
01:53My...
01:53My own.
01:55Mary!
01:56I am so pleased to see you.
01:59Oh, it has been far too long.
02:03I cannot be expected to stand.
02:06Hello, Mary.
02:07Mary, come here.
02:20I see the London air has taken a terrible toll on your complexion.
02:26And your hair!
02:27I am sure being back in the country will help.
02:30Looks beyond repair to me.
02:37I had undertaken such a long journey.
02:40And yet, here I was.
02:44Back where I started.
02:54From Mother's letter, I...
02:56I thought that she was gravely ill.
02:59I...
02:59We all did.
03:01Has she actually been ill?
03:02At all?
03:03She thought it might be influenza.
03:05Or smallpox.
03:06But she has made a miraculous recovery.
03:08Hmm.
03:09Perhaps she rallied at the news that I was on my way.
03:11I, for one, am pleased we are all back together.
03:14Yes, I was thinking, perhaps we could, um, play graces.
03:16Or charades after dinner this evening.
03:19Nobody plays graces, Mary.
03:21Oh, on the contrary.
03:22It's quite fashionable in London.
03:23How is London, Mary?
03:25Yes.
03:25I want to hear all about it.
03:27Hmm.
03:28Yes.
03:28Um, London is, um...
03:30Katie.
03:30It's, it's, um...
03:32Katie!
03:32Katie!
03:33I cannot reach the preserves.
03:38How are the gardeners?
03:39Are you enjoying being that governess?
03:41I, uh, yes.
03:43It's, uh, most rewarding.
03:45Have you made many new acquaintances?
03:46Uh, my sister-in-law, Caroline, is in London for the summer.
03:50Have you crossed paths?
03:52Oh, gosh, there's so many people.
03:55Um...
03:55I know she can be a little stiff at first, but she would be interesting company for you.
04:00I have company.
04:02There's a plethora of choice, really, for interesting company in London.
04:06Do you mean your books?
04:12That's my ma's bell.
04:13She wants you, Mary.
04:14I've only just been up there.
04:16I will send a servant to attend to her.
04:21Mrs Bennet would like Miss Bennet to attend to her.
04:27She probably wants to hear all about London.
04:31Walk the Duchess to the edge of the fountain and no further.
04:35If you feel the wind picking up, you must bring her inside immediately
04:38and give her warm water and chopped meat.
04:41Do not let Cook give her the leftovers, only fresh, chopped beef.
04:46After 30 minutes, you may return her to me.
04:48For she is the only member of this family upon whom I can depend these days.
04:59Oh, and tell Lizzie I wish to be moved to the drawing room.
05:05Do you think you'll be happier convalescing in here, Mama?
05:08Well, you might remember to visit me if I'm here.
05:12Now, where is my bell?
05:15Do not trouble yourselves waiting for me. I'm fine.
05:19Thank it, Mother.
05:20Hmm.
05:22And these pillows will not do.
05:25I'll send for some others.
05:28Maybe some toasted cheese.
05:31I feel terribly weak this morning.
05:35Not a man yet.
05:37And a book.
05:38Perhaps Mary can choose something.
05:40I was hoping for something readable.
05:42You're not joining us, Mr Darcy.
05:45Mary!
05:56Mr. Darcy!
05:58What crew knows, Mr Darcy!
06:14Ah! Ah!
06:16Ah!
06:18Miss Bennett.
06:21A letter for you.
06:32Mary!
06:38Mary, where on earth have you been all this time?
06:41I was walking the dog, Mama.
06:44Please.
07:00Who's the letter from, Mary?
07:02It's from one of my friends in London.
07:05What friend is that, Mary?
07:07Lydia?
07:09What friend is that, Mary?
07:14Her name is Miss Baxter.
07:16Anne Baxter.
07:17I've never heard of Miss Baxter.
07:18Then she surely does not exist.
07:20She most probably does not.
07:22Lydia is being most unkind.
07:39I've never heard of Miss Baxter.
07:40I'm not going to see him.
07:40You know...
07:43I've never heard of Miss Candy.
07:43And we'll walk her to the flood.
07:43I'll never know.
07:44I should remember him.
07:46Rebecca?
08:11Something seems to be troubling you, Mary.
08:14You seem full of concerns every time we mention London.
08:18Do I?
08:20I thought you would be eager to return.
08:26Does Mother's dog in any way remind you of Mother?
08:34Oh, Lizzie, I...
08:38I embarrassed myself terribly when I left London.
08:42Caroline Bingley was there.
08:43She was determined to humiliate me.
08:45And I left in such a flurry.
08:49I smashed a bell jar of great sentimental value to its owner,
08:54a new friend, Mr Ryder.
08:56And everyone stared at us.
08:59Mary!
09:00No-one else will have given it a second thought.
09:03It will seem worse to you, I'm sure.
09:05What person has not done something regrettable in their lives?
09:09You.
09:10You, Jane, Kitty, Lydia.
09:14Lydia?
09:15Oh, no. No, Lydia has.
09:19I can assure you, we all have.
09:23Anne wrote to tell me not to worry.
09:26You see?
09:27Mm.
09:28She's become a dear friend.
09:30She has something of an understanding with another good friend of mine.
09:34Mr. Tom Haywood.
09:38Mr. Haywood is...
09:41He's just the kindest man.
09:45I see.
09:48And have you met any gentlemen that have taken your eye...
09:53No.
09:53Oh, no.
09:54No.
09:55London, it's actually entirely without any eligible men.
10:00I don't think about everybody if I'm not...
10:02I'm not really the marrying sort.
10:04Nonsense, Mary.
10:14A visitor for Miss Mary Bennet.
10:20Mr. Ryder!
10:22What are you doing here?
10:24Miss Bennet.
10:26I hope you and your family won't consider this a great imposition,
10:29but you left London with such haste.
10:32I was most worried about your mother and wanted to offer my support in your hour of need.
10:39How do you do, Mr. Ryder?
10:42Mrs. Bennet?
10:45Why...
10:46It is a pleasure to see you looking so well.
10:49I usually look much better than this.
10:52Though my recovery has been quite extraordinary.
10:55I am.
10:56I'm glad to hear it.
11:01Miss Bennet, won't you introduce me to your sisters?
11:04Uh...
11:05Yes.
11:06This is Mrs. Elizabeth Darcy.
11:09This is Kitty Boncock.
11:11How do you do?
11:12Mrs. Jane Bingley and Mrs. Lydia Wickham.
11:15Enchanted to meet you all.
11:17How do you know Mary?
11:18Miss Bennet and I met at a soiree in London and share a similar taste in despicable crime pamphlets.
11:26Oh!
11:29Anyway, I was en route to visit my Aunt Lady Catherine de Burr and wanted to pay my respects.
11:36Well, let us not stand upon ceremony.
11:39Elizabeth will arrange for us to take tea in the garden.
11:43Mr. Ryder, do join us.
11:44I know, I'm sure Mr. Ryder will have more important matters to attend to.
11:49I have time.
11:52Are you well enough, Mama?
11:54Yes, thank you, Jane. I am perfectly well enough.
11:58Uh, Mary, take Mr. Ryder to the garden.
12:01Uh, Lydia will deal with the dog.
12:04What?
12:04Mr. Ryder, if this is about the first jar...
12:06Come along, Mr. Ryder.
12:11I have always felt that what a lady puts in her garden is so terribly important.
12:17Yes.
12:18Roses, of course.
12:19Of course.
12:19Your favourite flower?
12:21Well, I must say...
12:31My turn!
12:36I see you forgot to mention Mr. Ryder in your reports from London.
12:40You also forgot to mention how handsome he is.
12:44I mean, I've not really noticed his looks, I'm sure.
12:48He's come an awfully long way to see you.
12:51He's probably just thirsty.
12:53And nearby.
12:55What?
12:58Oh, you must stay with us, Mr. Ryder.
13:01Especially with the weather turning as it may well do.
13:03Do you not agree, Lizzie?
13:04You would be most welcome, Mr. Ryder.
13:06Oh, that is very kind.
13:09Come, Miss Bennet.
13:10Show us your skills.
13:15No.
13:17That's not what I...
13:21Excellent!
13:22Well done, Mary!
13:24Yes.
13:26Bravo!
13:26Well done, Mary.
13:27Oh, great.
13:28Well done.
13:31I was sorry to see you leave London in such a hurry.
13:37Mr. Ryder, have...
13:39Have you come here to discuss, you know, the...
13:44Yes!
13:45Yes, Miss Bennet, I believe I have.
13:47I've been wondering whether to write to you on the subject.
13:50Oh, I wouldn't expect you to lead the conversation, Miss Bennet.
13:53Mr. Ryder, are you here to talk about...
13:57...the bell jar?
14:00The bell jar?
14:01What did you say?
14:03Miss Bennet!
14:05Please, do not trouble yourself over that.
14:08But it was your father's.
14:09I thought you'd be upset.
14:11Not at all.
14:11Please, think no more of it.
14:24It is a pleasure to meet your family.
14:28Yes, my sisters are exceptional, I know.
14:33As are you, Miss Bennet.
14:35Oh, no, I am much more...
14:40I find it most refreshing that you do not fawn over potential husbands,
14:45or have your mind constantly set on finding a match.
14:50Well, no, no, I don't really...
14:54I don't give it much thought.
14:55No.
14:56You lack artifice.
14:58Your qualities shine out.
14:59They're not corrupted by the false polish of the world.
15:04Gosh, these are observations of a very, very personal nature.
15:09Well, I have a very low opinion of the petty rules to which we submit ourselves in the name of
15:14good manners.
15:15Did you know that?
15:16Thank you, I have mentioned it once or twice.
15:20I believe, Miss Bennet, that our inability to say what we mean is one of the great curses of our
15:27age.
15:27We hide behind a thousand disguises that we like to call politeness.
15:33Hmm.
15:49Mr. Darcy sends his apologies. He has a seasonal headache.
15:53Oh. Hmm.
15:55Mr. Ryder, tell us about yourself.
15:58Mary mentioned you are an avid reader.
16:00Oh, er, of poetry perhaps.
16:04I find longer works are usually not for me.
16:07Really?
16:07I think the brevity of poetry is one of its principal attractions.
16:11I agree.
16:13Wholeheartedly.
16:14I only wish I had the fine mind of your sister.
16:17Miss Bennet has such an astute understanding of a wide range of literature.
16:23She does. She does.
16:25I do not know whether she gets it from me or her father.
16:29From you, mother, I am sure.
16:31Oh!
16:33There are very few people who have the insight of Miss Bennet.
16:37I could talk to you all day.
16:40I must admit, London has been a little grey without you.
16:47Are you joking?
16:48No, there are many interesting minds in London.
16:52All eager for thoughtful conversation.
16:54None as interesting as yours.
17:09Hello?
17:12Mother.
17:14I came to wish you good night.
17:20Here.
17:34Mr. Ryder would make an excellent match.
17:45I wonder what kind of endowment he has.
17:50I do not know, Mama.
17:52A sizable one, I'm sure.
17:57Good night, Mama.
18:03Good night, Mary.
18:14Good night, Mary.
18:44BIRDS CHIRP
18:55Sorry, don't let me distract you
19:01What are you reading, Mr Ryder?
19:03A rather fascinating book
19:05On...
19:08Uh, Jesus
19:09Right, it's upside down
19:10Ah, so it is
19:14What are you reading, Miss Bennet?
19:16Fordyce's sermons to young women
19:17Oh, it's sufferable, rulemaking pedant
19:19Would you like me to put it in the fire for you?
19:24It's not quite how I remember it
19:25I'll admit
19:41What are they talking about?
19:46Barry sounds serious
19:48She is boring him, I know it
19:50I think you should read Mrs Macaulay
19:52She will help you to better understand the world
19:55I am no good at all
19:57At wasting my energy on anything that does not either move or please me
20:02I think that is a shame, sir
20:09You know, my father was a scholar
20:13He devoted all his time to studying insects
20:16Winged beetles, mostly
20:18Of course, yes
20:19The beetle in the jar
20:22It's fascinating stuff, really
20:25Well
20:26I'm not so sure, but
20:28It occupied his every waking hour
20:32He rarely emerged from his study
20:36We hardly ever saw him
20:40When I was 15 years old
20:44He
20:48Died quite suddenly
20:50Oh
20:52I'm sorry, I'm sorry
20:55A few days after his death
20:57I sat in his dark study and
21:02I thought about all the hours he'd spent in there
21:06Away from his family
21:09Away from life
21:10And for what?
21:12For your father must have derived
21:13A great deal of pleasure from his work
21:16Perhaps
21:17But I think I learnt more about the point of human existence in that moment
21:22Than my father learnt in a lifetime of study
21:26From then on
21:27I devoted myself
21:29To the pursuit of joy
21:32Tell me, Miss Bennet
21:36What makes you happy?
21:41Sorry, um
21:42Nobody ever asked me such a question
21:45Then you must consider it now
21:47Uh
21:48Well, um
21:52Reading
21:53Reading
21:54Learning
21:55Teaching
21:57And
22:00What of
22:02Friendship
22:05Of love
22:09Uh, yes
22:10No, of course
22:11That
22:13Life is short
22:14Miss Bennet
22:17Everything turns to dust
22:19In the end
22:23We might as well experience some joy
22:25Before that happens
22:33Let's go ride it
22:37Yes
22:38Let's
22:45Ladies
22:48What a waste
22:51Well
22:52Well, what?
22:53Are you going out walking again, Mary?
22:54No, Mr Ryder and I are going riding
22:55On a horse?
22:57Yes, that's generally the idea
22:58But you hate horses
22:59Mary
23:00What are his intentions?
23:02To ride a horse
23:03I think
23:15Oh, no
23:22Oh dear, oh dear
23:26Um
23:27You're quite all right, Miss Bennet
23:28I'm perfectly fine
23:29Thank you
23:30Yes
23:32No
23:34There we go
23:35There we go
23:37Now, I've been thinking
23:39About your argument
23:40That, uh
23:42That we should say more honestly
23:44What we think and feel
23:45Oh
23:45Excellent
23:46I knew you'd agree
23:48Oh
23:49I don't know that I do
23:50I mean, surely
23:52Even you must admit
23:53There may be occasions
23:54When, well
23:55For all manner of reasons
23:57Some things are best left unsaid
23:58I cannot concur
24:00I intend to live my life
24:02By bolder principles
24:03In fact
24:04That is why I came here
24:06To put that belief into practice
24:08Oh, really?
24:10Yes
24:10I came here to commit
24:12The great impropriety
24:13Of telling you honestly
24:14What I think of you
24:18Mr. Ryder
24:18I can assure you
24:19There's no need
24:20I attempted to scribble
24:21A few lines
24:22But
24:22But then I thought of
24:23Some verses
24:25Of Mr. Wordsworth
24:26That
24:27Captured your spirit perfectly
24:30May I be allowed
24:31To recite them to you?
24:35Of course, Mr. Ryder
24:36Please
24:41She dwelt among
24:43Excuse me
24:46No
24:48Please take your time
24:56She dwelt
24:57Among the untrodden ways
25:00Beside the springs of Dove
25:02A maid
25:03Whom there were none to praise
25:06And very few to love
25:09A violet
25:10By a mossy stone
25:11Half hidden from the eye
25:15Fair as a star
25:16When only one
25:18Is shining in the sky
25:26I think you see me
25:28As a lonely figure
25:30I was brought up
25:31In Hertfordshire, sir
25:32So the road to London
25:33Was barely five miles away
25:35It is possible
25:36To feel oneself alone
25:37Even in such close proximity
25:39To town
25:39Yes, but
25:40In my village
25:41It was quite untrue
25:42To say
25:43That there were none
25:44To praise
25:44And very few to love
25:46There were scores of people
25:48Very eager
25:49To praise my sisters
25:50Perhaps living with your family
25:52In Meryton
25:53Kept you
25:55Half hidden from the eye
25:58But now you've broken out
25:59On your own
26:01You can be seen
26:02At last
26:02As you deserve
26:05Fair as a star
26:06When only one
26:07Is shining in the sky
26:14Oh
26:19You are an actual
26:20Miss Bennett
26:21Oh, I'm not
26:22I know
26:27Our conversation
26:28Has made me
26:28Very happy
26:29Miss Bennett
26:34Me too
26:35Mr. Ryder
26:51Walk on
27:00Mary
27:01There you are
27:01Whatever is the matter
27:02What happened on the ride
27:05We
27:06Rode horses
27:08And
27:09Mine was most unruly
27:10And it had a taste for brambles
27:11As if it had a mine
27:12It was really
27:13And my saddle was not at all comfortable
27:15That's not a
27:16Slight on the quality
27:16Mary
27:16Mary
27:17Mary
27:21It appears
27:22Mr. Ryder
27:23Does have some sort of affection for you
27:25And
27:25I believe
27:27He is about to propose
27:32Mother
27:32I'm not completely sure
27:34That you are right
27:35And I
27:35I really would hate to cause you
27:37Any further disappointment
27:38This is an opportunity
27:39That cannot be overlooked
27:42He's a very eligible gentleman
27:45You will say yes
27:47Won't you
27:51There you are
27:52What happened?
27:52What did he say?
27:53Did he ask you?
27:54He's not going to ask her
27:55That he is
28:02Mrs. Barrett
28:06Are you
28:07Quite alright?
28:09Oh it's
28:09It's
28:10Nothing
28:11Nothing at all
28:13May I speak with you in private?
28:16I have something very important
28:17I want to discuss with you
28:37Mother had told me
28:39To prepare myself
28:42But nothing
28:43Could prepare me
28:45For what
28:46Happened
28:47Next
29:14To be continued
