00:28If
00:29If London was to be a new start for me, I would push all sorts of poetry and love aside.
00:40Mother warned me of the dirt, disease and despair that could be found here.
00:47She failed to mention the breadth of humanity.
00:52And the anonymity of the city suited me well.
00:56I had taken to walking the city's beautiful parks.
01:01It seemed that all life was in London.
01:05And here I could be anything I wanted.
01:14Surely I would find something I could succeed at in this vast, inspiring city.
01:20Hmm.
01:22Where did I put it?
01:24How should I know?
01:25Oh, she breaks my heart a little.
01:28She seems so awkward in herself.
01:30I worry my sisters caused some harm to poor Mary.
01:33Oh, I wonder.
01:35She's perhaps not the most natural motherness.
01:38But what else could she do with life?
01:40Be her mother's companion?
01:41I thought Tom brought her out of herself.
01:44Kind-hearted man that he is.
01:46And she seemed to get on well with Anne Baxter the other evening.
01:49But she has so little confidence.
01:51Yes.
01:52It can't have been easy growing up in the shadow of her sisters.
01:56I found it.
01:57Ah, there it is.
01:59Well, I'm happy she's with us.
02:01She has an interesting and wonderful mind.
02:07Oh!
02:08Oh!
02:08It's Bennett!
02:10Mr Haywood.
02:12How are you?
02:14Eager to hear how you've been getting on with the poetry?
02:16Oh, well, er...
02:18I'm not sure I have the mind to appreciate it completely.
02:21I keep hoping Mr Coleridge will explain himself,
02:23or that Mr Wordsworth will say what he really means,
02:26but they seem to enjoy keeping their secrets.
02:31Well, do not blame yourself.
02:33I think...
02:33I think some poets enjoy being difficult to understand.
02:45Miss Bennett, I was so sorry to hear about your father.
02:49Moving to the city without your family,
02:52you not having your mother to confide in...
02:55Oh, it's a relief to be without her.
02:57In fact, it's something of a relief to be without any of them.
03:06I'm sorry you're not feeling yourself.
03:10I'm afraid I'm not.
03:13I'm just not finding my place here as easily as I thought.
03:16Sorry, please excuse me.
03:18Oh, Mary!
03:19Tom, how lovely to see you!
03:21Quietly, my dear, you'll summon the children who I fear
03:24have begun to associate Tom's name
03:26with a worryingly large bag of sugar plums.
03:28Please excuse me. Sorry. I'm sorry.
03:31Bye.
03:53My dear Mary, I fear your correspondence has not been reaching me.
03:59I have heard nothing from you at all.
04:04How are you managing your duties?
04:06You never were good with children, even when you were one yourself.
04:12I may require you to return to Pemberley, where I will be spending the summer.
04:20Lizzie has expressed a wish to see you,
04:22but more urgently, my new puppy has a nervous air
04:26and requires near-constant companionship.
04:34I had come to London to see the world outside of my family,
04:37and that is what I would do.
04:45Oh, Mary, your painting!
04:48To teach the children.
04:50Oh, how marvellous to see your imagination at play.
04:56It's terrible.
04:58No, no, it is...
05:00It's very neat.
05:03Did you see the letter from your mother?
05:07Is she well?
05:08Between several complaints about the damp,
05:11the unseasonable pollen,
05:13and an unpleasant exchange with a rude shopkeeper,
05:16I understand that she is.
05:17Yes.
05:17I honestly think she enjoys such encounters.
05:20It makes her feel more alive.
05:24Oh, now, speaking of encounters,
05:26I think this might be of interest to you.
05:29Tom made a strange request to Mr. Gardiner and I,
05:33and extended the invitation to you too, Mary.
05:35Oh?
05:35Yes, he was most mysterious.
05:38He wants us to meet him tomorrow morning,
05:41where he says he plans to break through our rational reserve
05:45and move our hearts as well as our heads.
05:48He does?
05:49Yes, whatever that might entail.
05:53I must work on my lesson plans.
05:55Oh, Mary, you must join us.
05:57For my sake?
06:00Please consider it.
06:28Please consider it.
06:58Mr. and Mrs. Gardiner, Ms. Bennet.
07:01Thank you for humoring me.
07:03Are we allowed to know the purpose of our visit?
07:05I have conspired with the City of London
07:07and William Wordsworth himself
07:09for a morning recital unlike any other,
07:11in a hidden garden.
07:13Good Lord.
07:14Will Miss Baxter be joining us?
07:16I'm afraid Miss Baxter has a variety of excuses
07:18that she skillfully deploys to avoid such events.
07:21Well, remind me to ask her what they are.
07:24Yes, I am afraid that my petitions
07:26for good weather have been in vain.
07:28No matter.
07:29We will not be dissuaded by a little drizzle.
07:34A little drizzle?
07:38Just down there.
07:46This way?
07:47Yes.
07:59Oh.
08:03That's magical.
08:06Whoa.
08:12Please forgive the theatrics.
08:15I had given Miss Bennet the impossible task
08:18of understanding poetry without any real sense
08:21of how to feel it.
08:25Sometimes, with poetry,
08:28the more I think, the less I understand.
08:39Earth has not anything to show more fair.
08:44Dull would he be of soul who could pass by,
08:47a sight so touching in its majesty.
08:52This city now doth, like a garment,
08:57wear the beauty of the morning,
09:01silent, bare.
09:04There, ships, towers, domes, theatres and temples
09:11lie open unto the fields and to the sky.
09:17All bright and glittering in the smokeless air.
09:23Never did sun more beautifully steep in his first splendor.
09:27Valley, rock, or hill.
09:31Nurse or I, never felt a calm so deep.
09:37The river glideth at his own sweet will.
09:43Dear God,
09:45the very houses seem asleep.
09:49And all that mighty heart is lying still.
10:04Well done, Tom.
10:06A moving rendition.
10:08Tom, I confess,
10:10I felt entirely transported by the force of your words.
10:13And what a beautiful place.
10:17Our wisteria never flowers like this.
10:19Yes, your ability to kill our plants
10:21seems to be second to none.
10:23Come, let's take a turn.
10:25Indeed.
10:27Goodness, Edward, this place is magical.
10:30It's a secret garden.
10:32Yes, it is.
10:36Well, Miss Bennet.
10:45How do you feel?
10:47I...
10:50Well, uh...
10:51For once, I have nothing to say.
10:54I am sorry to hear that.
10:55No, I, um...
10:57No, I wish to say something...
11:01inspiring, but I...
11:04do not know how.
11:06You have such...
11:08such varied ways to express your feelings.
11:11Mine feel...
11:14frozen, or...
11:16feeble, or...
11:19entirely unknowable.
11:21I do not know, Miss Bennet.
11:24Well, I use the words of others to...
11:26puzzle through things I do not understand.
11:30but I...
11:31I do not believe that you are truly a stranger
11:33to strong emotions.
11:44Forgive me.
11:46Oh, uh, um...
11:48Sorry, Miss Bennet, I...
11:49Oh.
11:50It was just a petal.
11:52Miss Hayward, I...
11:53I think I must leave London.
11:57Well, you've only just arrived.
11:59It's no great event.
12:00My...
12:00my mother needs a companion.
12:02I see.
12:03And, well, you will likely be...
12:06very busy...
12:07soon, what with, uh...
12:09social engagements and, uh...
12:12Miss Baxter.
12:16I'm sure you'll scarcely have time to notice I'm gone.
12:20Well, I'd hoped that this would restore your spirit.
12:23Oh, indeed, it did.
12:25Oh, indeed, thank you.
12:27I shall never forget it.
12:43I shall travel to Pemberley on the 18th.
12:46Good heavens.
12:48Mary, this is quite unexpected.
12:50Well, is anything the matter?
12:52My mother needs me.
12:54Is my sister bored?
12:57I know that she's more likely than anyone in England
12:59to summon the troops on account of her loneliness,
13:01but must you answer the call?
13:06I think I must.
13:08Well, we so enjoy having you here.
13:10The children will be disappointed.
13:13Yes, it's kind of you to say.
13:16It is the truth.
13:21I must plan today's lessons.
13:31Dearest mother,
13:33although my time in London has been...
13:37enlightening,
13:38I will be by your side for your summer at Pemberley.
13:43As requested.
13:46I am grateful for the generosity extended by my aunt and uncle,
13:50but as you rightly point out,
13:52I do not wish to burn them.
13:54And it will, of course, be...
13:57an honor?
13:58To look after your new pup.
14:22Do come in.
14:40There was an old woman who lived in a shoe.
14:46She had so many children,
14:47she didn't know what to do.
14:50She gave them some broth,
14:52without any bread,
14:53and she whipped them all soundly and put them to bed.
14:57That poem started very well
15:00and ended very badly.
15:02A good observation, Miss Marianne.
15:04Why didn't she just move into a boot
15:06when the children got too many?
15:08Fine suggestion, Miss Rebecca.
15:09It's a glorious revolution all finished, then, Miss Bennet.
15:13This week,
15:14we will write and perform a poem instead.
15:17Yes!
15:19I want to do a poem about myself
15:21because I'm quite interested.
15:23I'll do typhoid.
15:25Or frogs.
15:27Disgusting.
15:30Miss Marianne?
15:32Love.
15:43The eye cannot choose but see.
15:47We cannot bid the ear be still.
15:51Our bodies feel where they be,
15:55against or with our will.
16:04A big green frog
16:06sat on a log.
16:08The frog was quite full.
16:10It had eaten
16:11ten flies,
16:13two slugs,
16:14one worm,
16:15and three lily pad pies.
16:20Well done.
16:20Well done.
16:22Oh, Miss Bennet,
16:23you were obviously inspired
16:24by our morning poetry reading.
16:26Oh, I was.
16:28No, I, um,
16:29yes, I am.
16:31Oh, no!
16:32What is it, Miss Rebecca?
16:34I had a prop
16:35and I forgot to use it.
16:38Oh.
16:39Uh, well, um,
16:41fear not.
16:42A prop is,
16:43is a cheap trick
16:44that diminishes
16:45the power of words.
16:47Indeed.
16:50Who's next?
16:55I would be sad
16:56to leave London.
16:58It was the first time
16:59I had ever felt
17:00a sense of
17:00belonging.
17:04Oh, there you are.
17:06I wanted to say thank you
17:07for such a wonderful day.
17:10The children
17:10will be inconsolable
17:12about you leaving.
17:13Marianne is stitching
17:15you a cushion
17:15with an inspirational
17:17Latin phrase,
17:19I believe.
17:19Oh, yes.
17:20It's Mori
17:21Quam
17:22Fodari.
17:23Death
17:23before dishonor.
17:25Goodness.
17:25How exciting.
17:28We shall miss you, Mary.
17:30I think
17:31we both know
17:32I'm not
17:33well-suited
17:33to
17:35London's
17:35liveliness.
17:37Oh, Mary.
17:39You've barely
17:40given it a chance.
17:42Things change.
17:45People.
17:47Situations.
17:50Over time.
17:54May I venture
17:56something on that subject?
17:59The other day,
18:01I went to buy a bonnet.
18:03And in the first shop
18:05I went into,
18:06found a stunning bonnet.
18:08An elegant blue,
18:09quite lovely on me
18:10if I dare say
18:10such a thing.
18:12When I went
18:13to purchase it,
18:16it had been reserved
18:18for someone else.
18:21I went into another shop
18:22and found
18:23not four
18:24other bonnets
18:25I liked just as much
18:26and in the end,
18:30one a shade
18:31of dusky pink
18:32that suited me
18:33even more.
18:37do you,
18:38do you see
18:38what I'm saying?
18:42Blue is not
18:43your colour?
18:46No,
18:46I'm saying
18:46that London
18:47has such a variety
18:48of choices
18:48and such quantity
18:50too.
18:51You may enjoy
18:52the first thing
18:53you see well enough,
18:54but often
18:56something more
18:57exciting
18:58will come along.
19:00Anyway,
19:01I just thought
19:02I'd let you know.
19:03Well,
19:04yes,
19:05thank you for that.
19:06It was very
19:08interesting.
19:09Oh,
19:09I was meaning
19:10to tell you,
19:11we have decided
19:12to host a little
19:13entertainment tomorrow,
19:14a night of games.
19:16Oh dear.
19:17What sort of games?
19:18No catching.
19:20Word games.
19:21Riddles and such.
19:22And very pleasant company.
19:24Company I know
19:25or
19:25new company?
19:28All new
19:28and very friendly.
19:31We desperately desire
19:33that you remember
19:33London fondly.
19:36This may be
19:37your final event
19:38with us
19:38before you leave.
19:43I resolved
19:44not to send
19:45the letter to Mother
19:46just yet.
19:48It would be
19:49a shame
19:49to leave
19:50before the weekend.
20:29Sorry,
20:30I didn't realise
20:30there was a line.
20:31No, please.
20:32I wish more people
20:33had such a restrained
20:34relationship to punch.
20:37May I?
20:38Oh,
20:38yes,
20:38of course.
20:40Noble defender
20:41of the punch.
20:42I surrender
20:43my post.
20:47And what brings
20:48you here?
20:48The word games
20:49or the company?
20:50I like words.
20:52Um,
20:52I'm not
20:53much for games.
20:55Ah,
20:55and it is the company
20:56you've come for.
20:57Miss?
20:58Bennett.
20:59Mary Bennett.
21:01William Ryder.
21:03And where have you
21:04come from,
21:05Miss Bennett?
21:06Surely I would have
21:06remembered seeing you
21:07near punch bowls
21:08across London.
21:09I am
21:12new in town.
21:13Well,
21:15I for one
21:16am always pleased
21:16to see a new face.
21:18Huh.
21:21Now,
21:22please gather.
21:23Take your seats.
21:24I see the riddles
21:24are about to commence.
21:26We are wise
21:27to begin with
21:28full glasses.
21:36And now,
21:37the quickfire round.
21:39Two words,
21:40one answer.
21:42Counterfeit agony.
21:44Counterfeit agony.
21:46I mean,
21:47trick?
21:47My brain is in agony.
21:48It isn't counterfeit,
21:49it is quite real.
21:50Champagne.
21:52Right.
21:52Champagne.
21:54Champagne!
21:55Why, right,
21:55Miss Clark.
21:56Another point to you
21:58and our new leader.
22:00Fancy delivering
22:01a champagne
22:02in word
22:02and not in glass.
22:03Tease us,
22:04Mr. Gardiner.
22:05All right then,
22:06Mr. Ryder,
22:06here's one for you.
22:09Judy's fellow.
22:11Oh.
22:14My God,
22:15I know it.
22:17Punch!
22:18Oh, well done,
22:19Mr. Ryder.
22:20Finally,
22:21you've arrived
22:21on the scoreboard.
22:27My first's a word,
22:30comedians dread to hear,
22:32my next new life
22:34in a revolving year.
22:36I'll repeat it.
22:38My first's a word,
22:40comedians dread to hear,
22:41my next new life
22:43in a revolving year.
22:45Offspring.
22:46Yes!
22:46Oh, well done,
22:47Miss Barry.
22:49Barry.
22:50Well done.
22:51Bravo.
22:52Yes,
22:53Miss Bennet.
22:55Cheers to you.
22:56What's next?
22:58Mandarin.
22:59Delicious.
22:59Miss Bennet,
23:00how lovely to see you.
23:02Too, Miss Pexter.
23:03Mr. Hayward,
23:04we're so pleased you made it.
23:05I had false intelligence.
23:07You were busy this evening.
23:08Well,
23:09we somehow managed
23:10to persuade Mr. Hayward
23:11away from his work.
23:12I have an important case.
23:14Oh,
23:15he has the trouble fortune
23:15of being the only lawyer
23:16in London
23:17who exclusively
23:18gets important cases.
23:21Do excuse us,
23:22Mrs. G.
23:23Excuse me.
23:26Miss Bennet?
23:27Tom,
23:28Will.
23:30Mr. Ryder
23:31and I studied law together.
23:32Ah.
23:32Yes,
23:33Mr. Hayward
23:34is responsible
23:35for my untimely
23:36retirement in the field.
23:37Is that so,
23:38Mr. Ryder?
23:38Well,
23:39he fed me so many poems,
23:40I believe myself
23:41a deep romantic soul.
23:43Too sensitive
23:44for the rigors of law.
23:45Seems like a heavy charge
23:46to lay solely
23:47at the feet of poetry.
23:50Mary,
23:51how is the night of games going?
23:52Do we have any hope
23:53for making a late charge
23:54for the prize?
23:55Not unless you wish
23:56to bribe our host.
23:57Miss Bennet here
23:58is putting us all to shame.
23:59Oh, nonsense,
24:00Miss Ryder.
24:00You beat me to the punch.
24:02You see?
24:04Masterful with words.
24:08Please gather yourselves
24:09for the penultimate round.
24:12Mr. Ryder.
24:13What?
24:14I'm glad to see
24:16you're in better spirits,
24:17Miss Bennet.
24:19This evening has been
24:20something of a tonic,
24:21Mr. Hayward.
24:25Round three.
24:27Ready?
24:29Sunday.
24:30Yes!
24:31Appoint your face faster!
24:35Think sharp?
24:36Is it dog troops?
24:37Oh, God.
24:38No, no, no, forget I said anything.
24:40It's a mercury.
24:41Yes!
24:41It's a deed.
24:42Well done.
24:43Is it really?
24:44Well done.
24:45Oh, remarkable.
24:49Come on.
24:51Anybody?
24:52Lighthouse.
24:52Yes!
24:54I've barely had a chance
24:54to think, let alone speak.
24:56I've never known a lack
24:56of thinking
24:57to prevent you from speaking.
25:00That is five points apiece
25:03for Miss Clark
25:04and Miss Bennet.
25:07Well done.
25:13The final round.
25:15The two players
25:15with the most points
25:16go head-to-head
25:17to crack one final riddle
25:19and decide the winner.
25:21The leaders come
25:21as no surprise,
25:23Miss Clark
25:24and Miss Bennet.
25:26You mean I didn't make it?
25:28I'm astonished.
25:30Mrs. Gardiner,
25:31would you do the odds?
25:34To suffer my seconds,
25:37the doom of my first,
25:39and of all of my seconds,
25:42my whole is the worst.
25:55To have a heartache!
25:58Yes!
26:00Good Lord!
26:01She's Britain's finest mind!
26:03Huzzah!
26:05That's all right!
26:06That's all right!
26:08We declare
26:09we have a winner!
26:10London's newest arrival
26:12all but its fiercest competitor,
26:14Miss Mary Bennet!
26:16Huzzah!
26:21I'm very glad
26:22that we arrived
26:23in time to see you crowned,
26:24Miss Bennet.
26:27I wanted to say...
26:29Miss Bennet!
26:30You are a liar.
26:32Am I?
26:33You told me
26:34you were not much for games.
26:36Well, I...
26:38I can't catch.
26:41Miss Bennet,
26:41I've been meaning
26:42to invite you to tea
26:43since I hear
26:44very sadly
26:45you are leaving London.
26:46Miss Bennet,
26:46surely not!
26:47You can't deprive
26:48the game players of London
26:50your...
26:50your riddling talents!
26:52Round of applause
26:53for our winner,
26:55Miss Bennet!
26:56Well done!
26:58Bravo!
26:59Bravo!
27:00Bravo!
27:01In that moment,
27:02I think I understood
27:04what my aunt was telling me
27:06with the convoluted story
27:07about the bonnets.
27:11that quantity
27:13has a quality
27:15all of its own.
27:17Thanks.
27:29Thank you so much.
27:36I don't know if the most
27:36I'd leave London
27:37before I've given it
27:39a fair chance.
27:40I think I might like
27:41to stay a little while
27:42if it's not too much burden.
27:44It's not a burden
27:45to us at all.
27:47We're delighted
27:48to have you with us.
27:52Oh, thank you so much
27:54for coming.
27:54Living in London
27:55was helping me
27:56to see that there
27:57could be more to life
27:57than just marriage
27:58or misery.
28:00Perhaps my aunt
28:01was right.
28:03Even the most
28:04hopeless of situations,
28:07the most hopeless
28:08of people,
28:09can,
28:11with kindness,
28:13change,
28:14little by little,
28:16over time.
28:18I was excited
28:20to discover
28:20who Mary Bennett
28:21might be.
28:22Thank you so much.
28:52You
