00:00MUSIC
00:22Miss Bennet...
00:26You are quite unlike anyone I have ever met.
00:31You speak your mind with a refreshing directness,
00:35and you do not force yourself to conform to society's ideals.
00:40I imagine it will come as no surprise when I say I have developed the greatest affection for you.
00:54I cannot understand why a man such as Mr. Ryder would propose to Mary.
00:58Oh, shush. Perhaps he won't. Mother may have got her hopes up for nothing.
01:02We shall never know his intentions if you two keep talking.
01:06What is happening?
01:07Mr. Ryder and Mary are in the library and appear to be having a serious conversation.
01:12I suppose most women of better looks and livelier character were already taken.
01:16It cannot be a match driven by passion.
01:19Not all matches driven by passion turn out well.
01:21Lizzie, I cannot hear what they are saying.
01:23Will you all just be quiet?
01:27In these past few days, I have felt a deeper understanding between us.
01:36I believe you felt it too.
01:39I took to heart the things that you said.
01:44And you must.
01:46For I believe we should be very happy together.
01:49Miss Bennett, I have a mind to go abroad to Italy.
01:54Somewhere with a lake in front of me and a mountain behind.
01:59Lakes are usually found in mountainous areas.
02:02No, although some are found in dormant volcanic craters.
02:05I cannot imagine going to Italy without you, Miss Bennett.
02:11And therefore, I wondered whether you might do me the greatest honour of coming with me.
02:23Well, I...
02:24We could read poetry all day and drink wine all evening.
02:29Oh, I do.
02:31I like poetry.
02:32And I like wine.
02:33What we have loved, others will love.
02:36And we will teach them how.
02:37Let us teach each other.
02:40I don't speak any Italian.
02:42But I suppose I could learn.
02:44That's the spirit, Miss Bennett.
02:46This is why we are such a strong match.
02:48You have the courage of my convictions.
02:52How so?
02:54You understand the appeal of living boldly.
02:58Living with freedom.
03:00Unburdened by the shackles of marriage.
03:03Sorry, just to be very clear.
03:06So you're suggesting that I live with you in Italy, but that we remain unmarried?
03:17Yes, exactly.
03:19Together, but free.
03:24For what woman wants to be owned in such a way?
03:28Oh.
03:30What do you say?
03:34I don't know what to say.
03:37Of course, of course.
03:39You must sleep on it.
03:40But if you accept, we could leave for London tomorrow and plan our trip to Italy.
04:01It's over.
04:06Oh.
04:06What?
04:09Come, Mary dear. Who would have thought you'd make such an excellent match?
04:15No, he didn't propose, Mama.
04:18What do you mean he did not propose?
04:21I mean that he called me in there to talk about a sermon on good works.
04:32Mary, this is no time for one of your poor attempts at humour.
04:36Mr Ryder showered you with attention only to pull you aside to discuss a sermon?
04:44Well, we shall see about that.
04:47I am sure Mr Ryder will make his intentions clear in his own time.
04:52Yes. Yes, he will.
04:56Mary, I shall choose your dress for supper. Perhaps something of Liz's.
05:02Hmm. Hmm.
05:04Uh, interestingly, I...
05:11Charlotte!
05:12Mr Collins, it looks as though you were all waiting for us.
05:16We were not.
05:18Mrs Bennet, I am pleased to see you looking so well.
05:21I see you didn't rush to pay your respects.
05:24Do not wish to impose.
05:26How are you?
05:27Um...
05:28All.
05:28I long to know everything.
05:30Well, there is something of a situation involving Mary.
05:34Thank you, Lydia.
05:35We were just getting ready for supper.
05:37Come!
05:38Ha!
05:39Yes.
05:41Ha!
05:41Ha!
05:44Who stood up straight, dear?
05:47Mary is looking very well tonight.
05:50Mr Ryder, do you not agree?
05:52I do indeed.
05:54My daughters are a handsome, set.
05:56They most certainly are.
05:58More wine, Mama.
06:00This is the wine you've requested!
06:01And only one unmarried.
06:04Did you hear Charlotte's news of Longbourn, Mama?
06:07In the drawing room, we have opened up an orange room.
06:09How did you enjoy your ride this afternoon, Mr. Ryder?
06:12Mmm. It was very pleasant.
06:15Excellent company.
06:16Mother, Mr. Darcy and I are thinking of holding a dinner in honour of your recovery.
06:22Hmm.
06:23Very good idea, Lizzie.
06:25Was it your horse, Miss Bennet, that picked these blackberries where it came?
06:30Is that what she was doing this afternoon?
06:32Well, if it is, I feel quite terrible now for having dragged her away.
06:35So you should. Rather delicious.
06:37Have you always lived in London, Mr. Ryder?
06:40I have.
06:42Although, my plan is to move to Italy. Quite soon.
06:45Italy? How long for?
06:48To settle for the rest of my days.
06:50Or for as long as my fancy takes me.
06:53Well, wherever you choose, you will need a knowledgeable companion by your side.
06:59As you know, Mary reads a great deal.
07:03She has a very well-informed mind.
07:05Though do not let that put you off.
07:07Miss Bennet is an extraordinary young woman.
07:10Young? Why Italy?
07:12For its history, its beauty.
07:15To wake up each morning to a view of a mountain.
07:18Ah, in reality, mountainous regions play havoc with one's rheumatism.
07:23Well, I think that sounds quite perfect.
07:25It really does.
07:27You find Longbourn tedious with its drafts.
07:30I hardly think you would cope in mountains.
07:33I will never know, will I?
07:38I did not know you spoke Italian, Mr. Ryder.
07:42Bocco.
07:43Bless you.
07:46I am quite looking forward to the peace and stillness of a foreign lad.
07:51Yes.
07:52Yes, it would be most welcome.
08:06Mary?
08:11I remember very well being the subject of Mother's plotting.
08:16It is quite a lot to bear.
08:18It is indeed.
08:21Engagements can take time.
08:24It is no small decision.
08:26And important not to rush.
08:28If Mr. Ryder does not propose, you must not think it is a reflection on you.
08:33Mr. Ryder has already proposed.
08:47It was a kind of proposal.
08:52Oh?
08:54Mr. Ryder proposed that I live with him in Italy, reading poetry and drinking wine.
09:03That sounds quite perfect.
09:05It does.
09:06Doesn't it?
09:06It does.
09:07I think I'd very much like to travel.
09:09I would certainly rise to the challenge of a new language.
09:13I have to give him my decision tomorrow morning.
09:16Well, what did you mean by a kind of proposal?
09:21Mr. Ryder believes that we should go to Italy, but remain unmarried.
09:32He proposed that you should be his mistress.
09:34Not in those words.
09:35I have never heard such a suggestion in my life.
09:37Oh, well, sadly, Lizzie, I think most of us will never find ourselves in a romantic situation as perfect as
09:41yours.
09:41But he insults you.
09:42He does not.
09:43Oh, Mr. Ryder believes that women shouldn't be owned in such a way as marriage, so he prefers a modern
09:49arrangement.
09:50I'm sure he does, one that is far more convenient for him.
09:53If he tires of this arrangement, he can easily move on, whilst your reputation is ruined forever.
10:00Do you think he will tire of me?
10:01Of course not, Mary.
10:02I...
10:04Marriage is the only thing a woman has to protect herself against such difficulties.
10:08Please, tell me you are not seriously considering his offer.
10:14I mean, I've begun to think I'm not...
10:16I'm not much suited to conventional life.
10:22I've always been the odd one out.
10:24I...
10:26Oh, I know.
10:27I know the scandal would be huge.
10:29I know Mother would be mortified.
10:31But Mr. Ryder, he treats me well.
10:34He makes me laugh.
10:35He is...
10:36He is interested in me.
10:41And I could escape.
10:56Mr. Ryder is clearly fond of you.
11:01And it is admirable that he has his own way of seeing the world.
11:10But you deserve better than this offer.
11:16Lizzie.
11:18You have grown up with no shortage of suitors.
11:21And you're at home, too.
11:23You have...
11:23You've always been...
11:24Mary, we've had largely the same upbringing.
11:26No, no.
11:27We may have grown up in the same house with the same mother and father and the same sisters.
11:31But your experience of life has been wholly different to my own.
11:36You were celebrated.
11:38And you were...
11:39You were respected.
11:41I was not.
11:43I mean, for the rest of you, even in your worst moments growing up,
11:46you could look to me and think,
11:49at least I'm not Mary.
11:51That's not true.
11:52It's absolutely true.
11:55But I always admired your strength,
11:56that you never cared what Mother or any of us thought.
11:59Of course I cared!
12:01Well, you always did things your own way.
12:03That was the only way I knew!
12:11Mary...
12:11All I want is to protect you.
12:14Oh.
12:15Or protect yourself
12:16from whatever shame I might bring on the family.
12:22How could you think such a thing?
12:39Do you love Mr. Ryder?
12:46Oh, my God.
13:11Oh.
13:12Right.
13:14Ah, yes sir.
13:20There you are, sir.
13:24Yes, sir.
13:28Ah!
13:29Good morning, Miss Bennett!
13:31Good morning.
13:32And it is a perfect morning for travelling!
13:41I have enjoyed these last few days with you enormously.
13:46You have been a beam of light in the darkness,
13:50and I do not know what I would have done without your company.
13:55I have felt the same way.
14:03But I cannot accept your interesting proposal.
14:13I thought that you and I were aligned.
14:17I appreciate how important your ideas are to you.
14:20I know how strongly you feel about freedom in love.
14:30But, well, I am still very much bound by the expectations of society.
14:39And the expectations I have for myself.
14:47Of course.
14:49I see.
14:52Goodbye, Mr. Ryder.
14:57My best wishes to your family.
15:02Goodbye.
15:19Here we go.
15:20Side off.
15:32Good morning, Mary.
15:34Mother.
15:36I trust you slept well last night?
15:39I did, yes. Thank you.
15:41You must keep up your strength.
15:43Who knows what today may bring?
15:47Ah, here he is.
15:50Oh, what are you doing here?
15:53Oh, I was...
15:54Do join us, cousin.
15:56Where on earth is Mr. Ryder?
15:59Ah.
15:59Mr. Ryder has left.
16:01Don't be ridiculous, Mr. Collins.
16:03He has no plans to leave.
16:05I saw him.
16:06I saw him climb into his carriage and go.
16:11Mary?
16:12Yes, Mr. Ryder has left.
16:13He's left.
16:14He's left Bemberley.
16:15Did he make you an offer of marriage?
16:20I will not be marrying Mr. Ryder.
16:25I will not be marrying anyone.
16:28What did you do?
16:30I'm sure Mary didn't do anything.
16:32Why is everything with you so relentlessly disappointing?
16:39Beautiful morning.
16:53Mother, I am sorry if I have disappointed you.
16:59I sometimes think you delight in vexing me.
17:02I do not.
17:05It is not too late.
17:08Too late for what, Mother?
17:11To write to Mr. Ryder and beg his forgiveness.
17:15His forgiveness?
17:17For whatever it is you did that drove him away.
17:22Oh.
17:23Do you really believe a man of such means will come along again for you?
17:29But I...
17:30Do you think the gardeners will have you back when they hear what you have done to Mr. Ryder?
17:34Mother.
17:36If you will not write to him and ask him to return, then I shall write to my brother and
17:41tell him you are obliged to stay here with me.
17:46If you are incapable of taking advantage of the opportunities London Society offers you in finding you a match, then
17:55you shall remain here with me instead.
17:56Instead.
17:59What's your mind?
18:01What's your mind?
18:02This is where we look for you.
18:04What's your mind?
18:07No.
18:11It's okay.
18:12It's okay.
18:17What's your mind and the honour of your place?
18:17I don't know.
18:19It's like you are almost as good.
18:21It's okay.
18:23goodbye Jane.
18:24Goodbye.
18:26I'm fine.
18:26I'm fine.
18:26I'm fine with you.
18:27Good luck, thank you, honey.
18:29Good luck with Mother.
18:30Bye to you, honey.
18:56You make it worse.
19:07Mary, don't do that.
19:11Sorry, Mother.
19:14You endlessly try my patience.
19:38Do not leave on my account, Miss Bennet.
19:43Sorry, I cannot provide good company today.
19:49I've noticed you've been most subdued of late.
19:52If I can be of any help, do you say we men of the cloth can offer the most useful
19:56counsel?
19:58Thank you, Mr. Collins.
20:02I'm...
20:02I'm often alone myself.
20:05Mrs. Collins has so many duties and preoccupations that she has very little time left to spend with me.
20:11Oh.
20:12It seems I have the habit of frustrating her.
20:18As I tend to do everyone.
20:21No, not at all, Mr. Collins.
20:25My father often commented that I was worthless.
20:28I thought a great deal about turning myself into something different, someone easy and obliging, but somehow I can't.
20:42I've always struck the wrong note with people, even in childhood.
20:49I felt the same way, many times.
20:53I...
20:54I think you have much to offer, Mr. Collins.
21:00Ah, excuse me.
21:02I realise I'm now burdening you with my troubles.
21:04No, not at all.
21:07Hmm.
21:08What are you reading?
21:10Hmm?
21:11Oh, er...
21:14Aristotle.
21:16I'm looking into the question of happiness.
21:23Happiness?
21:24Hmm.
21:26What it is.
21:28How one might find it.
21:33Do you, um...
21:34Do you have an answer?
21:37Well...
21:38I'm not quite sure.
21:41I, er...
21:41I've found some points of interest.
21:45Please, would you tell me what you know, Mr. Collins?
21:50Oh, er...
21:50What I've discovered seems to suggest that it is only through self-knowledge that genuine happiness is experienced.
21:59Through self-knowledge?
22:00Hmm.
22:00I, I think it is only when we have examined and understood our strengths and weaknesses and been honest enough
22:08about what we truly desire from life,
22:11only then do you have any chance at all of attaining happiness.
22:17So, what Aristotle is saying is that our happiness is in our own hands?
22:28Yes.
22:30Oh.
22:30I think so, yes.
22:32Interesting thought, isn't it?
22:35It's most interesting.
22:44It must be Mr. Ryder coming back to try again.
22:51Oh.
23:01Uncle.
23:02Mary!
23:05Jane.
23:16You reminded us of the importance of protecting our health.
23:21And so Edward and I have decided to spend some much-needed time in the lakes.
23:26Hmm.
23:26Wonderful.
23:27Quite wonderful.
23:27All that wind would play havoc with my nerves.
23:31And we were wondering whether Mary might join us.
23:35Mary?
23:35Yes.
23:36We thought perhaps Mary could join us in the lakes and then return with us to London.
23:40Elizabeth wrote to us explaining that Mary was without much to occupy her here.
23:45She has a very good occupation.
23:47She is my companion.
23:49I think it's a very sensible idea for Mary to get some fresh air.
23:52Oh, do you now?
23:53What do you think, Mary?
23:55Mary will not leave me.
23:56Mary, she knows I do not have many years left, and she wants to spend this precious time at my
24:02side.
24:03Isn't that right, Mary?
24:06Mother, Mr. Darcy and I have arranged a new companion for you.
24:12She's called Susan.
24:14Susan?
24:15Am I to be looked after by a Susan?
24:19We very much enjoy Mary's company.
24:22As do I.
24:23And knowing her passion for words were...
24:25She is forbidden to leave.
24:31Aunt.
24:33Uncle.
24:35Thank you for your invitation.
24:42I would be delighted to join you.
24:44What do you mean?
24:46I think, dear sister, she means she will be joining us in the Lake Districts.
24:50What a good idea.
24:52A good decision, Mary.
24:53Well done.
24:54A most excellent decision.
24:56Always good to challenge oneself.
24:57Oh, do be quiet, Mr. Collins.
25:00Well done, Mary.
25:02Well done.
25:03You should probably go and pack.
25:05I will help.
25:19I envy you.
25:22You envy me?
25:24The lakes.
25:26London.
25:27I never did experience much of life.
25:30It is a bold and brave decision, Mary.
25:34And for what it's worth, I think it's the right one.
25:41Forgive me, Charlotte.
25:42I don't want to speak out of turn.
25:46I mean, I often have.
25:50Only you seem quite unhappy.
26:03When my mother told me the only choice for a woman was marriage or misery,
26:08she negated to tell me it was possible to be both married and miserable.
26:17Yes, well, my father let us in on that particular secret some years ago.
26:22Yes.
26:23But I do believe that if you look a little under the surface,
26:29you will find more to Mr. Collins than you imagine.
26:38Goodbye, Mother.
26:41I will write.
26:44As you wish.
26:48Susan!
26:51Susan!
27:01Mary, I am so sorry if you have ever felt that I was ashamed of you.
27:07For I am not.
27:09I am very proud of you.
27:19I'm scared, Lizzie.
27:23What if I made all the wrong decisions?
27:32Mary, you will flourish.
27:48I had made my escape and would not look back.
27:53I did not know what was next.
27:56But I knew that I could not return to live with my family ever again.
28:00Miss Bennet!
28:01Miss Bennet!
28:02Here.
28:05I have something for you.
28:11Thank you, Mr. Collins.
28:29Could it be that I decide my future?
28:34I felt sure that the lakes would offer me a chance for peace and reflection.
28:38Oh, Mary, I ought to have told you Tom Haywood will be joining us in the lakes.
28:44I should have known that my life was never that simple.
28:59That's cool.
29:01Thank you, Paul.
