00:21The anxiety I felt over my mother's sudden illness was quite overwhelming.
00:27Losing one parent had upturned my life. To lose the other was unthinkable.
00:37Though my mother's presence had always loomed large in my life, I 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.
01:23You're letting the heat out.
01:24Mother!
01:32You look...
01:34well, doesn't she?
01:36Are you a physician all of a sudden?
01:39No.
01:39I, uh...
01:41I'm just...
01:42I'm relieved to see that you're, um...
01:46improved.
01:47You look like you haven't slept in days.
01:49And whose dress are you wearing?
01:52Uh, my... my 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 you 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.
03:15Perhaps we could, um, play graces.
03:16Or charades.
03:18After dinner.
03:18This 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, is, um...
03:32Katie!
03:33Katie!
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?
03:53Oh, gosh, there's so many people.
03:55I know she can be a little stiff at first,
03:58but I'm sure it would be interesting company for you.
04:00I have company.
04:02There's a plethora of choice, really.
04:04For an interesting company in London.
04:06Do you mean your books?
04:12That's Mama'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,
04:37you must bring her inside immediately
04:38and give her warm water and chopped meat.
04:41Do not let Cook give her the leftovers,
04:43only fresh, chopped beef.
04:46After 30 minutes, you may return her to me,
04:48for she is the only member of this family
04:49upon 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.
05:17I'm fine.
05:19Thank it, Mother.
05:21And these pillows will not do.
05:25I'll send for some others.
05:28Maybe some toasted cheese.
05:31I feel terribly weak this morning.
05:35I've never met yet.
05:37And a book.
05:38You're perhaps worried that you don't believe.
05:40I was hoping for something readable.
05:42You're not joining us, Mr. Darcy.
05:44Mary!
05:46Mary!
06:24Mary!
06:38Mary!
06:38Mary!
06:38Where on earth have you been all this time?
06:41I was walking the dog.
06:43Mama.
06:44Please.
07:00Who's the letter from?
07:01Mary?
07:02From 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.
07:23zeepth.
07:25She's Mi'f
07:26Zeepth.
07:44Zeepth.
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, oh.
08:38I embarrassed myself terribly when I left London.
08:42Caroline Bingley was there.
08:43She was determined to humiliate me.
08:46And 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.
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.
09:11Jane.
09:12Kitty.
09:13Lydia.
09:14Lydia?
09:15Oh, no.
09:16No.
09:17Lydia 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.
09:34Um, Mr. Tom Haywood.
09:38Mr. Haywood is...
09:41He's, uh, he's just the kind, kindest man.
09:45I see.
09:48And have you met any gentlemen that have taken your eye?
09:52No.
09:53Oh, no.
09:54No.
09:56London, it's actually entirely without any eligible men.
10:00I don't think I ever believe I'm not...
10:02I'm not really the marrying sort.
10:04Nonsense, Mary.
10:14A visitor for Miss Mary Bannert.
10:20Mr Ryder!
10:22What are you doing here?
10:24Miss Bannert.
10:26I hope you and your family won't consider this a great imposition, but...
10:30You left London with such haste.
10:32I was most worried about your mother and...
10:34Wanted to offer my support in your hour of meet.
10:39How do you do, Mr Ryder?
10:42Mrs Bannert?
10:45Why...
10:46It is a pleasure to see you looking so well.
10:48Oh.
10:49I usually look much better than this.
10:52Though my recovery has been quite extraordinary.
10:56I am.
10:56I'm glad to hear it.
11:01Miss Bannert, won't you introduce me to your sisters?
11:04Uh...
11:05Uh...
11:06Um...
11:06Yes.
11:06This is Mrs Elizabeth Darcy.
11:09Um...
11:09This is...
11:10This is Kitty Boncock.
11:11How do you do?
11:12Mrs Jane Bingley and Mrs Lydia Wickham.
11:14Enchanted to meet you all.
11:16How do you know Mary?
11:18Miss Bannert and I met at a soiree in London and share a similar taste in despicable crime pamphlets.
11:27Oh!
11:29Anyway, I was en route to visit my Aunt Lady Catherine de Burr and wanted to pay my respects.
11:35Well, let us not stand upon ceremony.
11:39Elizabeth will arrange for us to take tea in the garden.
11:43Uh...
11:43Mr Ryder, do join us.
11:44No, I'm...
11:45I'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.
11:55I am perfectly well enough.
11:58Uh...
11:58Mary, take Mr Ryder to the garden.
12:01Uh...
12:02Lydia will...
12:03Deal with the dog.
12:04What?
12:04Mr Ryder, if this is about...
12:06Come along, Mr Ryder.
12:08I must...
12:11I have always felt...
12:13What a lady puts in her garden...
12:15Is...
12:16So terribly important.
12:17Yes.
12:18Roses, of course.
12:19Of course.
12:20Your favourite flower?
12:21Well...
12:31My turn!
12:35I 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?
12:57Oh, you must stay with us, Mr Ryder.
13:01Especially with the weather turning as it may well do.
13:03Do you not agree, Lizzy?
13:04You would be most welcome, Mr Ryder.
13:07Oh, that is very kind.
13:09Come, Miss Bennet.
13:10Show us your skills.
13:15That's... no.
13:17That's not what I...
13:21Excellent!
13:22Well done, Mary!
13:24Yes.
13:26Bravo!
13:26Well done, Mary.
13:27I agree.
13:28Well done.
13:31I was sorry to see you leave London in such a hurry.
13:36Mr 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...
13:57I'll catch you.
13:58The bell jar?
14:00The bell jar?
14:01What... what... what 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.
14:32As are you, Miss Bennet.
14:35Oh, no, I am much more...
14:39Um...
14:40I find it most refreshing that you do not fawn over potential husbands or...
14:45Have your mind constantly set on finding a match?
14:51Well...
14:51No, no, I don't really...
14:54I don't give it much thought.
14:56You lack artifice.
14:58Your qualities shine out.
14:59They're not corrupted by the...
15:01false polish of the world.
15:05She's a...
15:06observations of a very, very personal nature.
15:08Well, 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?
15:16I think you may 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.
16:01Oh.
16:02Of 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.
16:22She does. She does.
16:25I do not know whether she gets it from me or her father.
16:30From you, Mother, I'm sure.
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.
16:45Oh, no.
16:47Are you joking?
16:49No, 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.
17:33Mr. 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.
18:06Good night.
18:06Good night, Mary.
18:24Good night, Mary.
18:30Good night.
18:37Good night.
18:40Have a good night.
18:42No, I was...
18:56Sorry, don't let me distract you.
19:01What are you reading, Mr. Ryder?
19:03A rather fascinating book on...
19:08Uh, Jesus.
19:09Right, it's upside down.
19:11Ah, so it is.
19:14What are you reading, Miss Bennet?
19:16Fordyce's Sermons to Young Women.
19:17Oh, it's sufferable, rulemaking pedant.
19:20Would you like me to put it in the fire for you?
19:24It's not quite how I remember it, I'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. McCauley.
19:52She will help you to better understand the world.
19:56I am no good at all at wasting my energy on anything that does not either move or please me.
20:02I think that is a shame, sir.
20:10You know, my father was a scholar.
20:13He devoted all his time to studying insects.
20:16Winged beetles, mostly.
20:18Of course, yes, the beetle in the jar.
20:22It's fascinating stuff, really.
20:26Well, I'm not so sure, but it 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,
20:46He died quite suddenly.
20:50Oh.
20:52I'm sorry.
20:53I'm sorry.
20:55A few days after his death, I sat in his dark study and I thought about all the hours he'd
21:04spent in there.
21:06Away from his family, away from life, and for what?
21:12For your father must have derived a great deal of pleasure from his work.
21:17Perhaps.
21:18But I think I learnt more about the point of human existence in that moment than my father learnt in
21:23a lifetime of study.
21:26From then on, I devoted myself to the pursuit of joy.
21:33Tell me, Miss Bennett.
21:36What makes you happy?
21:41Sorry, um, nobody ever asked me such a question.
21:45Then you must consider it now.
21:48Uh, well, um, reading.
21:53Reading.
21:54Learning.
21:56Teaching.
21:59And what of friendship?
22:05Of love.
22:09Uh, yes.
22:11Of course.
22:11No, of course.
22:12That.
22:13Life is short, Miss Bennett.
22:17Everything turns to dust in the end.
22:23We might as well experience some joy before that happens.
22:33Let's go riding.
22:37Yes.
22:38Let's.
22:45Ladies.
22:49What a waste.
22:51Well?
22:52Well, what?
22:53Are you going out walking again, Mary?
22:54No, Mr. Rider and I are going riding.
22:56On a horse?
22:57Yes, that's generally the idea.
22:58But you hate horses.
22:59Mary, what are his intentions?
23:02To ride a horse, I think.
23:15Oh, no.
23:17Oh, no.
23:22Oh, dear.
23:23Oh, dear.
23:26Um.
23:27You're quite all right, Miss Bennett?
23:29I'm perfectly fine.
23:30Yes.
23:34There we go.
23:35There we go.
23:37Now, I've been thinking about your argument.
23:41That, uh, that we should say more honestly what we think and feel.
23:45Oh, excellent.
23:47I knew you'd agree.
23:48Oh, I don't know that I do.
23:51I mean, surely even you must admit there may be occasions when, well, for all manner of reasons,
23:57some things are best left unsaid.
23:58I cannot concur.
24:00I intend to live my life by bolder principles.
24:03In fact, that is why I came here.
24:06To put that belief into practice.
24:09Oh, really?
24:10Yes.
24:11I came here to commit the great impropriety of telling you honestly what I think of you.
24:18Mr. Rider, I can assure you there's no need.
24:20I attempted to scribble a few lines, but then I thought of some verses of Mr. Wordsworth that captured your
24:27spirit perfectly.
24:30May I be allowed to recite them to you?
24:35Of course, Mr. Rider. Please.
24:40She dwelt among...
24:43Excuse me.
24:46No.
24:48Please take your time.
24:56She dwelt among the untrodden ways, beside the springs of Dove.
25:02A maid, whom there were none to praise, and very few to love.
25:09A violet by a mossy stone, half hidden from the eye.
25:15Fair as a star when only one is shining in the sky.
25:26I think you see me as a lonely figure.
25:30I was brought up in Hertfordshire, sir.
25:32So the road to London was barely five miles away.
25:35It is possible to feel oneself alone, even in such close proximity to town.
25:39Yes, but in my village, it was quite untrue to say that there were none to praise and very few
25:45to love.
25:46There were scores of people very eager to praise my sisters.
25:50Perhaps living with your family in Meryton kept you half hidden from the eye.
25:58But now you've broken out on your own.
26:01You can be seen at last as you deserve.
26:05Fair as a star when only one is shining in the sky.
26:19You're an actual Miss Bennet.
26:21Oh, I'm not.
26:22I know.
26:27Our conversation has made me very happy, Miss Bennet.
26:34Me too, Mr. Ryder.
26:51Walk on.
27:00Mary, there you are.
27:02Whatever's the matter?
27:03What happened on the ride?
27:06We rode horses.
27:08And mine was most unruly.
27:10And it had a taste for brambles as if it had a mine.
27:12It was really, and my saddle was not at all comfortable.
27:15That's not a slight on the quality of it, but really the design.
27:17Mary!
27:21Mary, it appears Mr. Ryder does have some sort of affection for you.
27:25And I believe he is about to propose.
27:32Mother, I'm not completely sure that you are right.
27:35And I really would hate to cause any further disappointment.
27:38This is an opportunity that cannot be overlooked.
27:41He's a very eligible gentleman.
27:45You will say yes, won'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.
27:55There's you, isn't he?
27:57I...
28:02Miss Barrett!
28:07Are you quite all right?
28:09Oh, it's...
28:09It's nothing.
28:11Nothing at all.
28:13May I speak with you in private?
28:16I have something very important I want to discuss with you.
28:37Mother had told me to prepare myself, but nothing could prepare me for what happened next.
28:55But there you are.
29:16For the most part of a book is, which is the last of a book was asked.
