00:20In the weeks that followed the disastrous Meriton Assembly,
00:24I buried myself in my books, hoping to stave off the pangs of shame and humiliation.
00:31It was all part of my plan for a new Meriton.
00:36I needed a clear mind, unclouded by strong emotion.
00:40I was working on gravitas.
00:45From now on, I would be a steady, informed, and rational woman.
00:51Books would be my guide.
00:52I would think more, and feel less.
01:01What could possibly go wrong?
01:04What could possibly go wrong?
01:13Well?
01:24I hope you have ordered a good dinner for this evening.
01:28We shall have a guest.
01:29I knew it would be so.
01:32It's not Mr Bingley.
01:35It's my cousin.
01:37Mr Collins?
01:38The very same.
01:39The man next in the end tale.
01:41Who?
01:41The man who, once I am dead, will turn you out of the house as soon as he pleases.
01:46He proposes himself as a guest here at Longbourn?
01:49In point of composition, his letter does not seem entirely defective.
01:53Entirely defective?
01:55Mary, are you quite all right?
01:56I regret deeply the breach which has existed between us for so long.
02:01As a clergyman, I feel it my duty to promote the blessings of peace in all families within my influence.
02:09Blessings of peace in this house?
02:12He must be an oddity.
02:14I cannot make him out.
02:16Can he be a sensible man, sir?
02:18He is a very sensible man.
02:19Thank you, Elizabeth.
02:21Very sensible indeed.
02:24Oh, can you not all see?
02:26He is looking for a wife.
02:28Do you really think so?
02:30Lizzie?
02:31You must prepare yourself.
02:32But Mama!
02:33We shall find out just what kind of man he is this afternoon.
02:36I have great hopes of his being extremely foolish.
02:41He sounds insufferably boring.
02:43A clergyman.
02:45Ugh.
02:45It wasn't right to condemn him before we've even met him.
02:48Please, Mary.
02:49I was agreeing with you.
02:51It's the way you say things.
02:59I am looking forward to meeting Mr. Collins this afternoon.
03:09What did you keep under your hat?
03:18Who's got your ribbons?
03:20We have.
03:20We do not sparkle as they do you and I.
03:26Oh, I hope my honesty did not offend.
03:28My goodness, no.
03:30No.
03:31Your sister seemed most agitated this morning.
03:34My father's cousin, Mr. Collins, is to visit Longbourn
03:38and they've all decided he's a terrible bull.
03:40Mother believes he comes looking for a wife.
03:43A wife?
03:43Apparently.
03:45What is your cousin's profession?
03:46A clergyman.
03:48Oh.
03:49A modest income then, I imagine.
03:53Do you know what my advice would be to you?
03:56If my father's cousin was coming to stay
03:58and I knew he was looking for a wife,
03:59I would do everything within the bounds of propriety
04:04to attract him.
04:06Well, I have decided none of this is for me.
04:09I will live alone with knowledge.
04:11Look, Mary cannot seriously believe
04:13the life of an old maid is to be preferred.
04:18I do not think my ma has me in mind.
04:20Jane and Lizzie won't settle solo.
04:22Anyway, Jane is nearly taken.
04:24So that leaves you.
04:28You speak nothing of love.
04:32What does love to do with anything?
04:34Of course.
04:34Of course, you're right.
04:35Of course.
04:36For an educated woman,
04:38raised to be genteel as we have been,
04:40the future holds no other prospect than marriage.
04:44Marriage or misery, Mary?
04:47Marriage or misery?
04:51I should know.
05:06There.
05:06There.
05:15There.
05:20Mr. Collins.
05:22I'm here.
05:22Meet at last.
05:24Mr. Collins.
05:36This is Jane, our eldest.
05:40Well, I had no idea.
05:44She is soon to be engaged, but the others are not.
05:50This is Elizabeth.
05:56A pleasure.
05:58Oh.
06:01And, uh, Mary.
06:02How do you do?
06:03Mrs. Kitty.
06:04And our youngest, Lydia.
06:06Ah.
06:07Well, now.
06:08I don't know that I will be able to tell the difference between you two.
06:12Yeah.
06:14Hmm.
06:16Hmm.
06:18The good looks of my fair cousins far exceed even the most enthusiastic of reports.
06:25Oh.
06:26Um.
06:28No.
06:29I'm terribly sorry.
06:31I certainly didn't mean to cause any offence.
06:34You caused no offence, Mr. Collins?
06:37Of course you didn't.
06:40Allow me to show you the house.
06:42Hmm.
06:42Oh.
06:43Splendid.
06:45Much smaller than one imagined, but with a few minor modifications will suffice my meek needs.
06:53Do you think so?
07:01I am not worthy of the crumbs which fall from thy table.
07:08Farmer.
07:09And yet that gives unto me the bread of life.
07:13Evermore give me that bread that I may eat thereof and not die eternally.
07:24Yes, exactly.
07:25Oh, man.
07:26Oh, man.
07:27Mr. Bennet.
07:28What a magnificent dining table.
07:30Even with the, uh, heavy curtains and the lack of natural light in here, one can still see its quantity.
07:36How generous of you.
07:37Hmm.
07:41Shall we?
07:50Mr. Collins?
07:57Mr. Bennet, I expect your daughters will be quickly and advantageously disposed of in marriage.
08:03It is very good of you to say so.
08:06Hmm.
08:06Oh, I am happy on every occasion to offer those delicate little compliments that are agreeable to ladies.
08:12Thank you, Mr. Collins.
08:14Hmm.
08:14Hmm.
08:15And may I commend your reading of grace?
08:17Hmm.
08:18It is very much, hmm, stayed with me.
08:20And, uh...
08:21It is most unfortunate that our girls have no proper portion to bring to their husbands.
08:26Please excuse me.
08:28You allude, perhaps, to the entail of this estate?
08:32It is a most vexing situation.
08:34If only there was some satisfactory way to amend it.
08:40Hmm.
08:41Hmm.
08:42Hmm.
08:43I could say much on the subject.
08:44But I am cautious of appearing forward and, um, precipitate.
08:49Hmm.
08:51I can assure the young ladies that I come prepared to admire them.
09:00Have you read Dr. Fordyce, sir?
09:05Hmm.
09:05I certainly have.
09:06Cousin Elizabeth?
09:08What make you of the sermons?
09:11I'm sure I haven't had time to read them, sir.
09:13Hmm.
09:13So busy have I been merely being a woman, I haven't had a moment to read up on how I
09:18should go about it.
09:21I think I'm the only one who's truly interested in Fordyce's sermons.
09:26Yeah.
09:27More wine, Mr. Collins.
09:29Hmm.
09:34I will that women adorn themselves with sobriety.
09:39Let your speech be always...
09:42Be always with grace.
09:45Seasoned.
09:50With salt.
09:54This has been wonderful.
09:56Hmm.
09:57But now you must let us entertain you, Mr. Collins.
10:01Lizzie?
10:03Won't you play for us?
10:06Huh?
10:26Well...
10:27Uh, huh.
10:28Oh.
10:55Bravo, Lizzie.
10:56Yay.
10:57Very good.
10:58Lizzie, if you were to practice properly,
11:00you really might master it.
11:01It seems a great shame to bring all the pleasure out of music.
11:03A few false notes seems a small price to pay in exchange.
11:07Great shame to waste a gift, that is all.
11:09Hmm.
11:10Quite right.
11:12Why don't you show us how it is done, Mary?
11:23Oh, Lord.
11:24Good.
11:31Oh.
11:34Oh.
11:38Oh.
11:48Oh.
11:50Oh.
12:14My congratulations, cousin. You play with such exactness.
12:21I imagine you practice a great deal.
12:23I practice often, which is true.
12:26Yes, it is.
12:28Is it only through hard work that anything of any value has to be achieved?
12:31Yes, um...
12:33Yes, I...
12:34Mr Collins, perhaps Elizabeth could take you on a walk around the gardens.
12:48Mary.
12:50Mother.
12:52I do not want any confusion regarding Mr Collins and future prospects.
13:00I am not sure I understand.
13:02It is Lizzie in whom Mr Collins has expressed an interest, are we clear?
13:07Don't you worry, Mama, that Lizzie won't accept Mr Collins.
13:11I have no particular feelings for him.
13:14But he and I have similar interests, and I am at least prepared to seek out the good in him.
13:21Mary, I cannot pass the man around the family like a sherry trifle.
13:28Your name has not come up.
13:39Cousins!
13:40Come on.
13:41Ready?
13:42Come on, hit it!
13:43I bring news!
13:44There...
13:44There is to be...
13:47There is to be a ball...
13:48...next week at Neverfield.
13:50Oh!
13:51I knew Mr Bingley would find the perfect excuse to see Jane again.
13:55And my brother and his wife shall be visiting.
13:57They might even be here when the engagement is announced.
14:00We are some way off that.
14:03Mr and Mrs Gardner shall be joining us.
14:06They're coming down from London.
14:07Up.
14:11They're coming up from London.
14:13That is what I said.
14:15Splendid.
14:16Splendid!
14:17A real family affair.
14:19I will need new ribbons.
14:21Perhaps, Miss Bennet, you would take the first dance with me?
14:27Oh, how wonderful.
14:29Maybe I should play a little something on the piano?
14:33Yeah, yes.
14:34You should indeed.
14:35Yeah.
14:36What about you, Miss Elizabeth?
14:38Do you sing?
14:40There is nothing I admire more than a woman with a wide vocal range.
15:04Very good, Miss Mary.
15:06Your playing is coming along nicely.
15:08Thank you, Hill.
15:10Mr Collins thinks I'm a very good player.
15:13Huh?
15:14I'm planning to play at the assembly.
15:16At Netherfield?
15:17Yes.
15:18I was even thinking I might sing.
15:22Sing?
15:23Miss Mary?
15:25It will be a surprise to them all.
15:29Short and sweet.
15:31That would be my advice.
15:35And, er, maybe don't sing.
15:44Help!
15:46I love my shoes!
15:48Help!
15:49No!
15:50No!
15:51No!
15:53No!

17:08something for the challenge to find husbands for five daughters this is a beautiful dining room
17:15but if jane were to get a proposal come on please
17:23as i say if jane lizzie seems very keen to distance herself from your cousin she's not at all happy
17:30about his interest what is he like tolerable forearms i noticed have you made your interest
17:39in him clear i am trying but your mother seems terribly keen for lizzie to be matched with a man

22:54can you imagine
22:55mama is furious
22:56and says lizzie will have him
22:58but papa told lizzie that her choice was a sad one
23:00because mother will never see her again if she doesn't marry collins
23:04and papa will never see her again if she does
23:06and now everyone is so utterly cross
23:08mr collins has stormed off

23:55oh
23:56oh
23:57oh
24:02oh
24:14thank you hill

27:26as each of my sisters left home
27:31my future felt increasingly uncertain
27:38i often thought back to the events in that period of my life
27:42and wondered if i could have done anything differently
27:49but i was trapped
27:53unable to escape the loveless world of my parents
28:05my options were limited
28:12and i found my books offered me no instruction
28:15and little comfort
28:18i searched desperately for answers
