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
00:39I imagine it will come as no surprise when I say I
00:45Have 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
01:00Mother 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
01:11I suppose most women of better looks and livelier character were already taken
01:16It cannot be a match driven by passion
01:18Not all matches driven by passion turn out well
01:21Lizzy, 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
01:38I took to heart the things that you said
01:43And you must
01:46For I believe we should be very happy together
01:49Miss Bennet, 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 Bennet
02:10And 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, I like poetry and I like wine
02:33What we have loved, others will love
02:35And we will teach them how
02:38Let us teach each other
02:40I don't speak any Italian
02:42But I suppose I could learn
02:44That's the spirit, Miss Bennet
02:46This is why we are such a strong match
02:48You have the courage of my convictions
02:53How so?
02:54You understand the appeal of living boldly
02:58Living with freedom
02:59Unburdened by the shackles of marriage
03:03Sorry, just to be very clear
03:06So you're suggesting that I live with you in Italy
03:12But that we remain unmarried?
03:17Unmarried
03:17Yes, exactly
03:18Together
03:21But 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
03:36Of course, of course
03:38You must sleep on it
03:40But if you accept we could leave for London tomorrow
03:43And plan our trip to Italy
04:07Well, Mary?
04:09Come, Mary dear
04:11Who would have thought you'd make such an excellent match?
04:14No, he didn't propose
04:17Mama
04:18What do you mean he did not propose?
04:21I mean that he called me in there to talk about a sermon
04:29On good works
04:31Mary, this is no time for one of your poor attempts at humour
04:35Mama
04:36Mr Ryder showered you with attention
04:39Only 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
04:51Yes
04:53Yes, he will
04:55Mary
04:56Mary
04:57I shall choose your dress for supper
05:00Perhaps something of Lizzie's
05:02Hmm
05:03Hmm
05:04Oh
05:07Wait
05:08Uh, interestingly
05:10Uh
05:11Charlotte!
05:12Ugh
05:12Mr Collins
05:14Looks as though you were all waiting for us
05:16Yes
05:17We were not
05:17Mrs Bennet, I am pleased to see you looking so well
05:20I see you didn't rush to pay your respects
05:23Do not wish to impose
05:26How are you?
05:27Um
05:28Oh
05:28I long to know everything
05:30Well, there is something of a situation involving Mary
05:34Thank you, Lydia
05:34We were just getting ready for supper
05:36Come
05:38Ha
05:39Yes
05:41Ha ha ha ha ha ha
05:43Thank you
05:44Ha ha ha
05:44You sit up straight, dear
05:47Mary is looking very well tonight, Mr Ryder, do you not agree?
05:52I do indeed
05:54My daughters are a handsome set
05:57They most certainly are
05:58More wine, Mama
05:59This is the wine you requested
06:01And only one unmarried
06:04Did you hear Charlotte's news of Longbourn, Mama?
06:06Uh, in the drawing room we have opened up an orange room
06:09How did you enjoy your ride this afternoon, Mr Ryder?
06:12Hmm
06:12It was very pleasant
06:14Excellent company
06:16Mother, Mr Darcy and I are thinking of holding a dinner in honour of your recovery
06:21Hmm
06:23Very good idea, Lizzie
06:25Was it your horse, Miss Bennet?
06:27That picked these blackberries where he came?
06:29Ha ha ha ha
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
06:36You're rather delicious
06:37Have you always lived in London, Mr Ryder?
06:40I have
06:42Although, my plan is to move to Italy
06:44Quite soon
06:45Italy?
06:46How long for?
06:48To settle for the rest of my days
06:50Or for as long as my fancy takes me
06:52Huh
06:52Well, 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, though do not let that put you off
07:07Miss Bennet is an extraordinary young woman
07:10Young?
07:11Why Italy?
07:12For its history, its beauty
07:15To wake up each morning to a view of a mountain
07:18Ah, er
07:19In reality, mountainous regions play havoc with one's rheumatism
07:22Well, I think that sounds quite perfect
07:25It really does
07:28You 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
07:42Poco
07:43Bless you
07:46I am quite looking forward to the peace and stillness of a foreign lad
07:51Yes
07:53Yes, it would be most welcome
08:06No
08:11I remember very well being the subject of Mother's plotting
08:16It is quite a lot to bear
08:17Isn't it?
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
08:32Mr Ryder has already proposed
08:38Mary!
08:40That is excellent news
08:42Isn't it?
08:46It was a
08:50kind of proposal
08:52Oh?
08:54Mr Ryder
08:56proposed that
08:57I live with him in Italy
09:00reading poetry and
09:02drinking wine
09:03That sounds quite perfect
09:05It does, doesn'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
09:16What did you mean by a kind of proposal?
09:21Mr Ryder believes that
09:23we should go to Italy
09:27but remain unmarried
09:31He...
09:32proposed that you should be his mistress
09:34Not in those words
09:35I have never heard such a suggestion in my life
09:37Well, sadly, Lizzie
09:38I think most of us will never find ourselves in a romantic situation as perfect as yours
09:41But he insults you
09:42He does not! No!
09:44Mr Ryder believes that women shouldn't be owned in such a way as marriage
09:48So he prefers a modern arrangement
09:49I'm sure he does, one that is far more convenient for him
09:53If he tires of this arrangement, he can easily move on
09:56whilst your reputation is ruined forever
09:59Do you think he will tire of me?
10:01Of course not, Mary
10:04Marriage is the only thing a woman has to protect herself against such difficulties
10:08Tell me you are not seriously considering his offer
10:14I mean, I've begun to think I'm not, I'm not much suited to conventional life
10:21I've, I've always been the odd one out
10:24Oh, I know, I 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, he is interested in me
10:41And I could escape
10:55Mr 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
11:16Lizzy
11:18You have grown up with no shortage of suitors
11:21You're at home, too
11:23You have, you'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
11:30And the same sisters
11:31But your experience of life has been wholly different to my own
11:36You were celebrated
11:38And you were, you were respected
11:41I was not
11:43I mean, for, for the rest of you
11:44Even in your worst moments growing up, you could look to me and think
11:49At least I'm not Mary
11:51That's not true
11:52It's absolutely true
11:54But I always admired your strength
11:56That you never cared what mother or any of us thought
11:59Of course I cared
12:00Well, you always did things your own way
12:02That was the only way I knew
12:11Mary, all I want is to protect you
12:14Oh, or protect yourself from whatever shame I might bring on the family
12:23How could you think such a thing?
12:36How could you think such a thing?
12:39Do you love Mr. Ryder?
12:42Well, Mr. Ryder
12:53Is nothing like that
12:53I recommend that.
12:54Let me know
12:54That's all
13:06Is that nothing?
13:08You're not still right
13:09Yes, I don't know
13:09You're not still right
13:10It's nothing like that
13:10But before we go to her
13:28Ah, good morning, Miss Bennet.
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.
14:42For myself.
14:47Of course.
14:49I see.
14:52Goodbye, Mr Ryder.
14:57My best wishes to your family.
15:19You must go, Mr Ryder.
15:26You must go.
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
15:44Who knows what today may bring
15:47Ah, here he is
15:50What are you doing here?
15:53Oh, I was
15:54Do join us, cousin
15:56Where on earth is Mr Ryder?
15:59Ah, Mr 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, Bemberley
16:15Did he make you an offer of marriage?
16:20I will not be marrying Mr Ryder
16:26Oh, we'll 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
16:52Mother
16:54I am sorry
16:55If I have disappointed you
16:58I 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
17:32when they hear what you have done to Mr Ryder?
17:35Mother...
17:36If you will not write to him and ask him to return
17:38Then I shall write to my brother
17:40And tell him you are obliged to stay here with me
17:46If you are incapable of taking advantage
17:49of the opportunities London Society offers you
17:52in finding you a match
17:54Then you shall remain here with me instead
18:22Goodbye Jane
18:24Goodbye
18:25I will be thinking of you
18:27Goodbye
18:28Thank you, Mummy
18:29Good luck with Mother
18:30Goodbye to you
18:54Goodbye to you
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
19:41Oh, I'm sorry
19:43I cannot provide good company today
19:49I've noticed you've been most subdued of late
19:51If I can be of any help, do you say
19:53We men of the cloth can offer the most useful counsel?
19:58Thank you, Mr Collins
20:02I am...
20:03I'm often alone myself
20:05Mrs Collins has so many duties and preoccupations
20:09that 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
20:20No, not at all, Mr Collins
20:25My father often commented that I was worthless
20:29I thought a great deal about turning myself into something different
20:32Someone easy and obliging
20:35But somehow I can't
20:42I've always struck the wrong note with people
20:47Even in childhood
20:49I felt the same way many times
20:54I think you have much to offer, Mr Collins
21:01Excuse me, I realise I'm now burdening you with my troubles
21:04No, not at all
21:08What are you reading?
21:11Hmm?
21:12Oh, Aristotle
21:16I'm looking into the question of happiness
21:23Happiness?
21:24Happiness?
21:25Hmm
21:26What it is
21:28How one might find it
21:33Do you, um, do you have an answer?
21:39I'm not quite sure
21:40I, uh, I've found some points of interest
21:45Please, would you tell me what you know, Mr Collins?
21:49Oh, um, what I've discovered seems to suggest
21:53That it is only through self-knowledge
21:56That genuine happiness is experienced
21:58Through self-knowledge?
22:00Hmm
22:00I think it is only when we have examined
22:03And understood our strengths and weaknesses
22:07And been honest enough about what we truly desire from life
22:11Only then do you have any chance at all
22:13Of attaining happiness
22:17So, what Aristotle is saying is that
22:21Our happiness
22:25Is in our own hands
22:28Yes
22:29Oh
22:30I think so, yes
22:32Interesting thought, isn't it?
22:35It's most interesting
22:43Mary!
22:45It is him!
22:47It must be Mr Ryder coming back to try again!
23:00Uncle
23:02Mary!
23:05Jane

23:23spend some much needed time in the lakes wonderful quite wonderful all that wind would play havoc
23:30with my nerves and we were wondering whether mary might join us mary yes we thought perhaps mary could
23:37join us in the lakes and then return with us to london elizabeth wrote to us explaining that
