00:23Three times I had written to Mr. Hayward, and each time the letter was returned,
00:27marked forwarding address unknown. There was so much that I wished to say to him, but it
00:38was not to be. No matter, I would not wallow. I had navigated difficulty before, and I would
00:46use my experiences to find my place in London, and prove I could build a life here. Not only
00:53to myself, but also to... Mama. Here she is. I didn't know you were... Sorry, what are
01:03you doing here? Your mother has come to stay. For a short time. Lizzie's physician advised
01:09I come to London to see Dr. Simmons, who is a great authority on nervous complaints. Well,
01:17sit. Mr. Darcy has been most insistent, urging me to think of myself and not hurry back to
01:27Pemberley until I have been properly attended to. Now, Mary, I have decided to forgive your
01:36actions at Pemberley and to offer you my assistance one last time. While I am here, I intend to
01:44finish what I began and find suitable matches for all my daughters. Oh, please, Mama, really.
01:52Four out of five must be considered a great triumph. A great triumph, indeed. Yes. But
01:58Mary has plenty in London to occupy her time. There is no better use of Mary's time than
02:03finding a match. Oh, please, Mother, really. I'm very happy as I am.
02:08I understand your shame, Mary, in the way that you have behaved towards me. But nevertheless,
02:15you cannot override my natural kindness and my motherly instinct. I have arranged for you
02:21to meet several suitors.
02:23Yes. Is it too much to ask you to make even the slightest effort with just one of these
02:51gentlemen? Mary has made good connections. Oh, and do good connections provide for you
02:57for the rest of your life? And she is welcome here. Oh, yes. For now. For as long as she
03:01wants. Enter. Enter. A visitor for Miss Bennet. Mr. Ryder is here. Mr. Ryder? Well, show him in.
03:18Thank you. Thank you. Oh. Mr Ryder, how wonderful to see you.
03:34Mrs Bennet, Mrs 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,
04:14I felt it my duty to accompany Miss Bingley back to London to see a physician.
04:18I understand.
04:19But I was kept informed of your recovery.
04:29Miss Bennet, I...
04:32I wanted to sincerely apologise for what happened.
04:37Oh, I played my own part in proceedings.
04:40No, no, I was entirely to blame.
04:43I put you and Miss Bingley in grave danger.
04:46I'm full of regret.
04:47Oh, really, think 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 Bourre unexpectedly named me as her heir.
05:15Oh.
05:19I informed Mr Hayward of my change in fortune
05:22and told him
05:25of my intention to propose to you that very afternoon.
05:32I see.
05:34He knew what I could offer you
05:36and
05:38he gave me his blessing.
05:43He did?
05:45Miss Bennet, I wanted to renew our conversation
05:50from the Lakes.
05:53Of course.
05:54Of course, Mr Ryder.
05:57Please, um, please sit.
06:15I've never met anyone
06:16that makes me think like you do.
06:20Who makes me see the world
06:22as you do.
06:25I've certainly never met anyone
06:26who speaks as plainly as you.
06:28And I admire that greatly.
06:31It's very kind.
06:34Although there is something of a
06:36gulf between my ideals
06:38and the world we live in.
06:43I like to think that
06:45you and I could carve out an interesting existence.
06:51Together.
06:55I shall now do what I should have done
06:57weeks ago
06:58and
07:00ask
07:05Miss Bennet.
07:12Would you consider
07:15accepting my hand in marriage?
07:29Mr Ryder.
07:32My answer must, of course, be
07:41that I do not love you.
07:50Could it be that you, you, you might
07:53grow to love me?
07:58Not in the way that you
08:01deserve to be loved.
08:07Your friendship has,
08:09has taught me so much about myself
08:12and for that I shall always be grateful.
08:16But I don't believe
08:19I would ever have made you happy.
08:26You should follow your heart.
08:28Go to Italy
08:29and, and seize
08:32everything it has to offer.
08:35I see.
08:38You will find happiness,
08:40Mr Ryder.
08:42True happiness.
08:45I do not doubt it.
08:47I do not doubt it.
08:56No.
09:00It was a
09:02pleasure
09:03to see you looking so well.
09:07Pleasure to see you looking so
09:10dry.
09:18Goodbye, Miss Bennet.
09:23Bye.
09:31No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
09:33Mother.
09:34I should leave.
09:36Please.
09:37Stay there.
09:38Mother.
09:39Mr. Adi Amigo.
09:49What have you done?
09:51Oh, I need some air.
09:54Mary.
09:55Mary.
09:57Mary.
09:59Mary.
10:20Miss Bennet.
10:24Mrs. Sparrow.
10:30Is everything quite all right?
10:32No, yes, the city smoke is particularly heavy today and it just seems to have...
10:39May I?
11:00Thank you I hope they are still serving you well
11:07They really are Tell me, what brings you to London?
11:12I graduated from Moorfields two weeks ago
11:16You're a doctor, just as you said you would be
11:22Congratulations, Mr Sparrow
11:26I always thought you'd end up studying somewhere, somehow
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 specialisms?
11:39Perhaps one day you could tutor my daughter
11:42You have a child?
11:44She is one
11:48Then perhaps I will
11:50No, I've not really looked too far into it as yet
11:56I think my mother will not approve
12:03If I remember rightly
12:04You and your mother always had very different ideas about life
12:08About reading, about the wearing of spectacles
12:14And about potential matches
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, perhaps it is time to stop worrying what she thinks
12:39That our happiness is in our own hands
12:43Absolutely
12:45I truly believe it is
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
13:26Mary
13:27What on earth are you thinking?
13:30Mother
13:31Mother
13:31I'm sorry to disappoint you
13:33Again
13:34But I will not be marrying Mr. Ryder
13:36Nonsense
13:37Call him back
13:38And 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 since the day you were born
13:53Yes
13:54I'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?
14:08By whom?
14:14Mary, please
14:15Call Mr. Ryder back
14:17And accept his offer
14:19I do not love him
14:20Mama
14:21I've not waited all this time just to marry a man I do not love
14:25You would have once agreed to marry Mr. Collins
14:28Did you love him?
14:29No, I didn't
14:31No
14:31At the time I thought I was helping our family remain at Longmore
14:35And now there is a handsome, wealthy man
14:38Willing to overlook your shortcomings and you have turned 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
15:06On 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 setting
15:24Why do you insist on torturing me?
15:35It has always been my intention to please you
15:39I am very sad
15:42That I have never been able to make you proud of me
15:46Yet I was never able to match my sisters
15:50In your esteem
15:54I am sorry
15:57You have no idea what it has been like for me
16:02I 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
16:11Except me
16:14Your father never had to think about it
16:18And he never raised a finger to help
16:23In fact
16:25Any attempts I made to discuss your futures seemed only to rile him
16:31I was quite alone
16:39You and I
16:41Always have been
16:42Very different creatures
16:46And it is likely we all shall be
16:51It doesn't seem fair that you weren't helped in your efforts
16:56But
16:59You did it
17:02We are all settled
17:04In our different ways
17:06I have chosen my path
17:09And
17:09I am happy with it
17:16I did not want you to be left
17:18Left behind
17:31Goodbye mother
17:52Send our love to Lizzie
17:58Goodbye Jane
18:19Mary
18:19I have to say
18:21I don't think I have ever seen anyone stand up to your mother as successfully as you did
18:25Really?
18:25It was very impressive
18:32I don't mind
18:33That I'll never marry
18:38I'm only sad that
18:39Without a home of my own
18:41I'll
18:42I 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 learnt a great deal from him
19:05He's a man that finds joy in life
19:08And there's much to be admired about him
19:10That you do not love him
19:13No
19:17You love someone else
19:25Where has he gone?
19:30I wish I knew
19:41Thank you
19:42Thank you
19:44Miss Bennet, there is a visitor to see you in the drawing room
19:50Miss Bingley
20:13Miss Bennet, I wanted to thank you
20:18For what you did on the mountain
20:22You could have left me there
20:25And
20:26You didn't
20:35I think it is plain to see that I
20:40Have a great fondness for
20:42Mr. Ryder
20:45And I have come to ask that you
20:49Leave him alone
20:51Oh, Miss Bingley
20:53You are much better suited to Mr. Ryder than I am
20:56You don't mean that
20:57I do
20:58I do
20:59Mr. Ryder is a dear friend
21:02But he and I
21:04We were never a match
21:10The truth is
21:15It was always Mr. Hayward
21:17For me
21:19But it is not to be
21:21Really?
21:23Tom Hayward?
21:26Surely
21:26He is attainable
21:29It seems not
21:31He has
21:32Disappeared
21:35Well, well
21:48Perhaps I shall
21:50Call for you sometime
21:52Miss Bennet
21:53Yes, 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
22:28I stayed in London
22:29And became a governess
22:34Over time
22:35I 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
22:53I 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
23:14Miss Bennet
23:17Miss Bennet
23:22Mr. Hayward
23:51Mrs. Gardner said I might find you here
23:57Miss Bennet
23:58I...
23:58Where have you been?
24:03Yorkshire
24:05What do you mean, Yorkshire?
24:07You can't just say Yorkshire
24:09As if Yorkshire's an entirely reasonable explanation
24:11For your very sudden
24:13And somewhat lengthy disappearance
24:16After what you said
24:17I'm sorry, Mary
24:18Please, please
24:18Let me explain
24:22Well, you're here now
24:25Mr. Hayward
24:26Do go on
24:29Well, we were in the lakes
24:35The 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
24:51As I also had
24:56As I also have
24:59It is such a liking
25:01In fact, that when I learned of Mr. Ryder's good fortune
25:04And his plan to make you an offer of marriage
25:06I thought
25:07I thought it in your best interest
25:08That I graciously step aside
25:10Nevertheless, my actions in the mountain
25:12You thought it in my best interests
25:15To graciously step aside
25:18So your disappearance
25:20Was, in fact, you being gracious to me
25:24You
25:25Ah!
25:27Miss
25:27You and Mr. Ryder, between you
25:29Thought that you would just decide on my fate
25:31And I would just accept it
25:32Like I'm a
25:34Like I'm a
25:34Great old cat
25:36If you put it like that
25:37It does not sound good
25:38Why didn't you just ask me
25:40What I thought
25:41I was reading between the lines
25:42There were no lines
25:43Mr. Hayward
25:44There 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
25:55And I thought you deserved better than that
25:59That you deserve better than me
26:00But now I realise
26:03I will not know what you want
26:04Unless I ask
26:05So I must tell you
26:07I cannot offer you great wealth
26:08Or Italy
26:11But I can offer you my love
26:14And my devotion
26:15And my hope to build a family
26:17One day
26:23Mr. Hayward
26:26If you had asked me
26:27What I wanted
26:28I would have told you
26:29I 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
26:44I caught you playing graces
26:45On your own
26:46When you thought no one was at home
26:51I have spent my life
26:53On the outside of things
26:54But with you
26:55I am right in the middle of it all
27:07Mary Bennet
27:07Mary Bennet
27:07Would you do me the very great honour
27:09Of becoming my wife
27:18Yes
27:20Yes
27:29That was a yes
27:30Right away Mr. Ryder
27:31In case
27:32In case you 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
27:58From Caroline Bingley
28:00What
28:01Yes
28:03She wrote to me
28:04And she told me about your conversation
28:05And I realised I was being ridiculous
28:07From Caroline Bingley
28:08Yes
28:09She did something kind
28:11Wait however
28:12Did she find you
28:13She has a ways
28:18My only wish
28:19Is that we could thank her
28:20But she has left London
28:21Oh
28:22She's gone to Italy
28:24In pursuit
28:25Of Mr. Ryder
28:26Now
28:28Yes
28:30Now
28:31Yes
28:34My love
28:38Oh
28:39Oh
28:48And so it was
28:50That I married him
28:52But on my own terms
28:54In my own time
28:57And I hope you'll realise
28:58That is almost beside the point
29:12The point
29:13Perhaps
29:13Was just as Hill had predicted
29:16All that time ago
29:18That I needed to get out
29:20And see the world
29:21Outside my family
29:23So that I could find
29:25My place in it
29:38And that is
29:39The last of them
29:41Really?
29:42Oh
29:47The indigo is splendid
29:48It's actually
29:49Tyrion purple
29:50It's Tyrion?
29:51Yes
29:51From the Greek myth
29:52About Hercules' dog
29:53Traying a spiny
29:54Murex sea snail
29:55I didn't know Hercules had a dog
29:58Keep up, Thomas
30:01I am trying
30:07What's next?
30:10Spring green
30:11In your drawing room
30:23In her drawing room
30:26In her drawing room
30:34For his fillingate
30:35For her
30:35For her
30:35To be�
