00:19In the weeks that followed the disastrous Meriton Assembly, I buried myself in my books,
00:25hoping to stave off the pangs of shame and humiliation. It was all part of my plan for a new
00:33Mary. I needed a clear mind, unclouded by strong emotion. I was working on gravitas.
00:43From now on, I would be a steady, informed, and rational woman. Books would be my guide.
00:51I would think more, and feel less. What could possibly go wrong?
01:11Will?
01:23I hope you have ordered a good dinner this evening. We shall have a guest.
01:28I knew it would be so.
01:31It's not, Mr Bingley. It's my cousin.
01:36Mr Collins?
01:37The very same.
01:38The man next in the entail.
01:39Who?
01:40The man who, once I am dead, will turn you out of the house as soon as he pleases.
01:45He proposes himself as a guest here at Longbourn.
01:48In point of composition, his letter does not seem entirely defective.
01:52Entirely defective? Mary, are you quite all right?
01:55I regret deeply the breach which has existed between us for so long.
02:00As a clergyman, I feel it my duty to promote the blessings of peace in all families within my influence.
02:07Blessings of peace in this house?
02:10He must be an oddity.
02:13I cannot make him out. Can he be a sensible man, sir?
02:16He is a very sensible man, thank you, Elizabeth. Very sensible indeed.
02:22Oh, can you not all see? He is looking for a wife.
02:27Do you really think so?
02:28Lizzie, you must prepare yourself.
02:31But Mama...
02:32We shall find out just what kind of man he is this afternoon.
02:35I have great hopes of his being extremely foolish.
02:39He sounds insufferably boring.
02:42A clergyman.
02:43It wasn't right to condemn him before we've even met him.
02:46Please, Mary.
02:48I was agreeing with you.
02:49It's the way you say things.
02:57I am looking forward to meeting Mr. Collins this afternoon.
03:07What do you keep under your hat?
03:17We've got your ribbons.
03:18We have.
03:19We do not sparkle as they do, you and I.
03:24Oh, I hope my honesty did not offend him.
03:27My goodness, no.
03:28No.
03:30Your sister seemed most agitated this morning.
03:33My father's cousin, Mr. Collins, is to visit Longbourn and they've all decided he's a terrible bull.
03:39Mother believes he comes looking for a wife.
03:41A wife?
03:42Apparently.
03:43What is your cousin's profession?
03:45A clergyman.
03:46Oh.
03:47A modest income, then, I imagine.
03:52Do you know what my advice would be to you?
03:54If my father's cousin was coming to stay and I knew he was looking for a wife, I would do
03:59everything within the bounds of propriety to attract him.
04:04Well, I have decided none of this is for me.
04:07I will live alone with knowledge.
04:10Look, Mary cannot seriously believe the life of an old maid is to be preferred.
04:16I do not think Mama has me in mind.
04:19Jane and Lizzie won't settle so low.
04:20Anyway, Jane is nearly taken.
04:22So that leaves you.
04:26You speak nothing of love.
04:30What does love to do with anything?
04:32Of course, of course, of course, you're right, of course.
04:35For an educated woman, raised to be genteel as we have been, the future holds no other prospect than marriage.
04:43Marriage or misery, Mary?
04:46Marriage or misery?
04:50I should know.
05:14I should know.
05:19Mr. Collins.
05:20I'm here.
05:21Meet at last.
05:29Ah, this.
05:34This is Jane, our eldest.
05:38Well, I had no idea.
05:43She is soon to be engaged, but the others are not.
05:49This is Elizabeth.
05:55A pleasure.
05:59And Mary.
06:01How do you do?
06:01This is Kitty.
06:03And our youngest, Lydia.
06:05Ah, well now, I don't know that I will be able to tell the difference between you two.
06:09Ha, ha, ha.
06:11Yeah.
06:12Ha, ha, ha, ha.
06:13Hmm.
06:15Hmm.
06:17The good looks of my fair cousins far exceed even the most enthusiastic of reports.
06:24Oh, um.
06:28No, I'm terribly sorry.
06:30I certainly didn't mean to cause any offence.
06:32Oh, you caused no offence, Mr. Collins?
06:35Of course you didn't.
06:38Allow me to show you the house.
06:40Hmm.
06:41Oh, splendid.
06:43Splendid.
06:44Ah, much smaller than one imagined, but with a few minor modifications will suffice my meek needs.
07:00I am not worthy of the crumbs which fall from my table.
07:07Ah, well.
07:08And yet that gives unto me the bread of life.
07:12Evermore, give me that bread that I may eat thereof and not die eternally.
07:23Yes, exactly.
07:24Amen.
07:25Mr. Bennet, what a magnificent dining table.
07:29Even with the heavy curtains and the lack of natural light in here, one can still see its quantity.
07:35How generous of you.
07:36Hmm.
07:39Shall we?
07:40Hmm.
07:48Mr. Collins?
07:56Mr. Bennet, I expect your daughters will be quickly and advantageously disposed of in marriage.
08:01Disposed?
08:02It is very good of you to say so.
08:04Hmm.
08:05Oh, I am happy on every occasion to offer those delicate little compliments that are agreeable to ladies.
08:11Thank you, Mr. Collins.
08:13Hmm.
08:13And may I commend your reading of grace?
08:16It is very much stayed with me.
08:19It is most unfortunate that our girls have no proper portion to bring to their husbands.
08:25Please excuse me.
08:27You allude perhaps to the entail of this estate?
08:30It is a most vexing situation.
08:32If only there was some satisfactory way to amend it.
08:38Hmm.
08:39Hmm.
08:41Hmm.
08:41I could say much on the subject.
08:43But I am cautious of appearing forward and precipitate.
08:48Hmm.
08:49I can assure the young ladies that I come prepared to admire them.
08:59Have you read Dr. Fordyce, sir?
09:03Hmm.
09:04I certainly have.
09:05Uh, cousin Elizabeth.
09:06What make you of the sermons?
09:09I'm sure I haven't had time to read them, sir.
09:12So busy have I been merely being a woman, I haven't had a moment to read up on how I
09:17should go about it.
09:19I think I'm the only one who's truly interested in Fordyce's sermons.
09:24Yeah, more wine, Mr. Collins.
09:27Hmm.
09:33I will let women adorn themselves with sobriety.
09:37Let your speech be always, be always with grace, seasoned with salt.
09:53This has been wonderful, but now you must let us entertain you, Mr. Collins.
10:00Lizzie, won't you play for us?
10:05Ah.
10:10Ah.
10:11Ah.
10:12Ah.
10:12Ah.
10:13Ah.
10:13Ah.
10:14Ah.
10:15Ah.
10:25Ah.
10:33Ah.
10:35Ah.
10:41Ah.
10:44Ah.
10:54Bravo, Lizzie.
10:55Yeah.
10:56Very good, Lizzie.
10:57If you were to practice properly, you really might master it.
10:59It seems a great shame to bring all the pleasure out of music.
11:02A few false notes seems a small price to pay in exchange.
11:06Great shame to waste a gift, that is all.
11:08Quite right.
11:11Why don't you show us how it is done, Mary?
11:21Oh, Lord.
11:30Oh, Lord.
11:33Oh, Lord.
11:35Oh, Lord.
11:47Oh, Lord.
11:49Oh, Lord.
11:58Oh, Lord.
12:04Oh, Lord.
12:33Mr. Collins, perhaps Elizabeth could take you on a walk around the gardens.
12:38Oh, Lord.
12:42Oh, Lord.
12:48Mother.
12:51I do not want any confusion regarding Mr. Collins and future prospects.
13:27I am not sure I understand.
13:29Oh, Lord.
13:30Oh, Lord.
13:32Oh, Lord.
13:47Oh, Lord.
13:56Oh, Lord.
14:11Oh, Lord.
14:26I thought maybe I should play a little something on the piano.
14:32Yeah, yes, you should indeed.
14:35What about you, Miss Elizabeth?
14:37Do you sing?
14:39There is nothing I admire more than a woman with a wide vocal range.
15:02Very good, Miss Mary.
15:04Your playing is coming along nicely.
15:07Thank you, Hill.
15:09Mr Collins thinks I'm a very good player.
15:12I'm planning to play at the Assembly.
15:15At Netherfield?
15:16Yes.
15:17I was even thinking I might sing.
15:21Sing? Miss Mary?
15:23It will be a surprise to them all.
15:27Short and sweet.
15:29That would be my advice.
15:33And, er, maybe don't sing.
15:42Hey, Hill! I lost my food!
15:46Hey, Hill!
16:11The earlier we arrive, the earlier we can leave.
16:14Oh!
16:18Oh!
16:23Oh!
16:29Oh!
16:42Lady Lucas, Charlotte, please meet my brother and his dear wife, Mr and Mrs Gardner.
16:50They're down from London.
16:51Up.
16:52What?
16:53Up from London.
16:54And this is my very distant cousin, Mr Collins.
17:02Shall we do?
17:06Something of a challenge to find husbands for five daughters.
17:12This is a beautiful dining room.
17:13But if Jane were to get a proposal...
17:16Am I?
17:17Please.
17:22As I say, if Jane...
17:24Lizzie seems very keen to distance herself from your cousin.
17:27She's not at all happy about his interest.
17:31What is he like?
17:34Tolerable forearms, I noticed.
17:37Have you made your interest in him clear?
17:39I am trying.
17:41But...
17:43Your mother seems terribly keen for Lizzie to have a match with a man of a modest income.
17:47I cannot think why.
17:49He is the cousin.
17:52The one from the end tale.
17:54It's Mr Collins who stands to inherit Longbourn.
17:56The house, the estate, the income, all of it.
17:59So, my father cannot stand the man, while my mother wants Lizzie to marry him.
18:09Perhaps I will not play tonight.
18:12Oh, Mary, you must.
18:16I had prepared a little something, but...
18:20Now the time is here, I'm not sure I have the stomach for it.
18:23Nonsense, Mary.
18:24Mr Collins is sure to be impressed.
18:27I think it is time you get yourself noticed.
18:31Oh.
18:48I beg you, do not make it long.
19:05Be gone, don't care.
19:11I pray thee be gone from me.
19:18Be gone, don't care.
19:25You and I shall never agree.
19:31Be gone, don't care.
19:36I pray.
19:49A bomb!
19:52Bet, this is gone, don't care.
20:06Thou wouldst me kill
20:09Please, my faith don't care
20:17Thou never shalt have thy will
20:22I have another piece, Father. One that's more lively.
20:35Mary?
20:36You have denied us on enough
20:43Oh, Miss Bennet, that was truly unforgettable
20:57It was a beautiful rendition of a difficult song
21:03Everybody saw it
21:05Please, I've got it
21:07Take a breath
21:10Nobody noticed but you
21:25Mary
21:30It was you that told Father to stop me playing, wasn't it?
21:34I didn't want you to overexate yourself
21:36You insult me
21:38We both know that isn't true
21:41Mary
21:43Mary
22:07Mary
22:12I have had a terrible evening
22:22Mary
22:37Mary
22:38Mary
22:39You must get dressed and come downstairs
23:08Lizzie won't say anything at all
23:09Mama is beside herself and Papa has shut himself in the library
23:12You must come
23:13So, so what happens now
23:15What if Mr. Collins?
23:17Papa thinks he would choose someone else
23:19I don't know
23:21Well, it's more likely to be me than you
23:25No
23:26No, I am resigned
23:52And will not renew his pursuit
23:54Oh
24:12Thank you, Hill
24:22I have been thinking
24:24Mary
24:24Since Lizzie was so selfish as to refuse Mr. Collins
24:29I have turned my mind towards you
24:33Well
24:36I think you understand me
24:38Mama, less than a week ago you were adamant
24:41Mary, please
24:43He will not ask me now
24:45I need to be sure that you will accept him when he offers
24:49He will not choose me, Mama
24:52Oh, Mary, he will
24:55Who else will marry him?
25:00What are you reading?
25:04A theory of the earth
25:06It's about rocks
25:07Just types of
