00:22Dear Mother,
00:25I write to let you know that I will not be joining you at Pemberley just yet.
00:30As I am still very much needed in London.
00:33The Gardener's governess has indeed returned, but we find ourselves quite overrun with social engagements.
00:42You will be excited to hear that I have been invited to one of Lady Winspear's weekly balls.
00:48I am very much looking forward to it.
00:53I miss you all.
01:00Yours, Mary.
01:03The Gardener's governess has returned from Norfolk, has she not?
01:06Yes, yes, a week ago.
01:08Well then the ball is perfectly timed for you to find a husband.
01:14A husband, whatever else do you plan to do?
01:20Someone who was once a friend told me that a woman has two choices in life, marriage or misery.
01:27What do you think?
01:29Mary, it is not too late for marriage, if that's what you're asking me.
01:33And I do believe it's the better choice, but not the only one.
01:38Some marriages are miserable.
01:40I agree.
01:42I mean, I did once try to find a husband, but it was unsuccessful.
01:48My mother has always said, no one will marry a girl in spectacles.
01:52Mary, that is nonsense.
01:53What a terrible thing for your mother to say.
01:57Well, you may not have had luck in the past, but this time it's different.
02:02This time, you have me.
02:05Under my tutelage, you will become the star of London society.
02:11It's all about confidence.
02:13A certain coolness.
02:15I think you care too much.
02:17Really?
02:18Hmm.
02:20Have you ever polished your skin?
02:28We put this in the pipkin, and the pipkin in the fire until the wax melts.
02:32Then we spread it on your face.
02:33You're going to look radiant, Mary.
02:36I'm going to smell like soup.
02:40Oh, what on earth?
02:53There.
02:54Thanks.
03:06Mary, you have stew on your face.
03:19Oh, now we need to work on your walk.
03:23Step into the room like you are Lady Winspear herself.
03:36Walk normally.
03:44I'm excited for you, Mary.
03:46New love is the most romantic thing.
03:49New love?
03:50Yes, the first throws.
03:52Oh, you must not take it for granted, because the feelings soon pass, and then everything becomes quite ordinary.
04:00It's almost impossible to remember how one felt at the beginning.
04:06Now walk.
04:07Shoulders back.
04:08Chin up.
04:09Chin down.
04:11Chin up a little.
04:12Don't look scared.
04:13Quite hard not to.
04:18Remember, you are only allowed two dancers with the same partner.
04:22Make eye contact fleetingly with the men you want to dance with, and avoid the eyes of those you do
04:26not.
04:27If a man asks you to dance, do not look too happy, nor too disappointed, depending on who he is.
04:33You must look nonchalant.
04:36Carefree.
04:43Mary, think back to those times in your childhood when you had not a care in the world.
04:53Hmm.
05:11Remember, Mary, the most important thing is to be yourself.
05:28Oh, look.
05:37Isn't it beautiful?
05:46Isn't it beautiful?
05:51Do not fret.
05:53The night has only just begun.
05:58Good evening, Miss Baxter.
06:00Miss Bennet.
06:01Doesn't Miss Bennet look beautiful?
06:03Uh, well, uh, as do you, Anne.
06:13Mr. Haywin, how would you like to dance with Miss Bennet?
06:17No, I know, I didn't.
06:18It will show how eligible you are.
06:23Well, I don't suppose you have much room for me on your card.
06:28But if there is, I would be very glad to dance with you.
06:30Oh, well, um, there might, there might be.
06:33Let me just check.
06:37Yes, yes, we could dance.
06:41Thank you, Mr. Hayward.
06:49Mr. Hayward, how are you?
06:53Miss Bennet.
06:55I'm very well.
06:58How are you?
06:59One.
07:04Two, three.
07:05One, two, three.
07:07One, two, three.
07:07One, two, three.
07:07One, two, three.
07:08One, two, three.
07:09One, two, three.
07:12One, two, three.
07:13One, two, three.
07:14Sorry, sorry.
07:15Sorry, sorry, sorry.
07:15Thanks, sir, sir.
07:19Go ahead.
07:26Thanks, sir.
08:21Thank you, Mr. Hayden.
08:23That's been it.
08:30It was a fine minuet.
08:35Oh, now you two, you must dance together.
08:38Um, I'm going to go and...
08:41Oh, Mary, do you mind?
08:42Oh, I can go.
08:45Yeah.
08:46Yeah.
08:55Yeah.
09:08Yeah.
09:10Yeah.
09:12Yeah.
09:13Yeah.
09:15Yeah.
09:17Yeah.
09:17Yeah.
09:18Yeah.
09:18Yeah.
09:20Yeah.
09:21Yeah.
09:22Yeah.
09:23Excuse me.
09:27It's you.
09:28It is indeed.
09:29William Ryder.
09:30Of course, Mr. Ryder.
09:32Well, it is a pleasure to see you again so soon.
09:38Would you like to dance?
09:40Well, um, perhaps later.
09:42My feet are quiet.
09:43Ah.
09:45Then let us sit and gather your strength.
09:56Yes.
10:03Yes.
10:03Yes.
10:04Yes.
10:04Yes.
10:19to many young women and for good reason none of them wants to fail but
10:27doesn't it seem to you miss bennett that most people give far too much weight to the idea of
10:34marriage because for some people that is that only means of survival in matters of
10:39men and women the only thing that should guide us is the heart
10:44do you really believe that to be true well i believe we should sweep away these tired old rules
10:54and follow our inclinations as we wish i think you will find mr rider that the liberty in such
11:03situations tends to be enjoyed by the man while the consequences are born quite literally in many
11:10cases by the woman now perhaps you're right i know i am
11:25dance with me come on
11:55and it's supposed to be fun i think
12:00you are allowed to breathe while you dance miss bennett i am breathing
12:04i heard that you are a great reader of very serious books
12:10i'm reading wordsworth currently ah but what do you really enjoy reading miss bennett
12:17histories no no i mean what's your secret indulgence
12:25but i really enjoyed reading as a child
12:29with a servant's pamphlets we detail the most grisly cries
12:36i knew there was a bold and curious side to you miss bennett i had to hide them from my
12:41mother
12:42i bet you did
12:49oh my gosh look at her
13:16i did not trip it was a deliberate embellishment of the gavotte
13:21i did not trip it was a deliberate embellishment of the gavotte
13:22mary miss baxter i was just about to ask miss bennett to dance again
13:28oh uh thank you mr rider but i will sit this one out
13:32ah then allow me to fetch you both some ices ladies
13:39he might be handsome mary but beware he also fancies himself above all the rules that govern the rest of
13:45us
13:45he enjoys the privileges of his class as well as good looks i i cannot say i took much notice
13:51of his
13:52looks mary i did not well he certainly noticed you kind of you to say but he doesn't think of
14:00me in
14:00that way and actually that makes much more enjoyable we were just talking about mr rider

15:52us

16:22Oh, my God.
16:27Ow.
16:32How did you find the ball last night?
16:36Most pleasant, thank you.
16:40Young William Ryder called while you were asleep this morning, Mary.
16:43He left this bundle of crime pamphlets as a peculiar gift.
16:46Is this really to your taste?
16:49Oh, and he confirmed our invitation to supper on Thursday.
16:52Oh, what fun!
16:53Jethro.
16:53Oh, you could wear your red dress.
16:58Regarding supper, I fear I may not be able to attend.
17:04You have not been yourself since I saw you talking to Caroline Bingley last night.
17:11I have no idea what I've done to provoke her.
17:14Did she not once fancy herself as marrying your sister's husband?
17:18Mr. Darcy.
17:19She did.
17:20Yes.
17:21Perhaps she feels threatened by you.
17:25Caroline Bingley is not threatened by me.
17:29She's better than me.
17:31I know that very well.
17:34She's always beautifully dressed, and she has extraordinary confidence.
17:39She does not appear to lack confidence, that is certain.
17:43Perhaps underneath that brittle exterior lies doubts and insecurities the same as everyone else.
17:49And she treats you as though you're beneath her to make herself feel good.
17:53It riles her to see you blossoming in London.
17:57Blossoming?
17:59You've changed.
18:01You smile more.
18:03And you laugh.
18:04Well, I've...
18:07The thought that you're worth less than Caroline really only exists in her mind.
18:14We do not run and hide from the Caroline Bingleys of this world.
18:22We stand our ground.
18:25For there will always be one.
18:44Miss Bennet.
18:46How wonderful to see you.
18:48Oh, um...
18:51Um, I very much like your, um...
18:57Insects.
18:58Why, thank you.
19:00They were my...
19:01Unusual in that line.
19:07You have an extensive book collection, Mr. Ryder?
19:12Ah, yes.
19:13They are for show.
19:16Although, Grimm's fairy tales proved a fine read.
19:21Not as fine as those brilliant pamphlets you sent to me.
19:24I want to hear about the strangers' cases over dinner.
19:29Ah, yes.
19:30Miss Bennet.
19:32Inspired by you.
19:33I have been reading some of those particular works myself.
19:38And I found something...
19:40...that made me think of you.
19:41Of me?
19:42Mm-hmm.
19:43Allow me to find it?
19:44Well, of course.
19:46Miss Bingley.
19:48I am so glad you took my advice.
19:50Lady Catherine de Burr looks magnificent there.
19:54I was just about to read something to Miss Bennet that made me think of her this morning.
19:58It made you think of Miss Bennet?
20:01Yes, exactly.
20:03Now, where is it?
20:05Mr. Ryder, I wondered if it might be helpful for me to cast my eye across the dinner table before
20:10the guests sit.
20:12Uh, very well.
20:15Please excuse us.
20:18I have to say, Miss Bennet, how refreshing it is to see a young woman with the courage to defy
20:24the dictates of fashion...
20:25...when most of us are foolish enough to want to look as well as we possibly can.
20:30You are an example to us all.
20:50Mr. Hayward, we are here.
20:52Where are you, Mary?
20:54Uh...
20:54Can't be as strong as well.
20:57If it is my crumbest.
21:01Dr. Hayward, I'm happy then to do this.
21:04Are you all right?
21:06Dr. Hayward, you have outdone yourself...
21:14Dr. Hayward, you have outdone yourself...
21:14Ah!
21:17Dr. Hayward, stop.
21:43Mr. Hurst, have you ever read Catherine Macaulay's work?
21:48No.
21:48She's most insightful on democracy, if you're interested.
21:52No.
21:59What think you of James Hutton's theory that the Earth is perpetually being formed?
22:05I have no interest in geology.
22:08What do you like, Mr. Hurst?
22:13Horses. Horse racing.
22:15Oh. I know so little about horse racing. I would be honoured if you would teach me all you know.
22:20We won't have time for that.
22:22Let's just see how we get on.
22:25Right.
22:27Right.
22:30Four legs.
22:33Cannot vomit.
22:34Oh.
22:35Beautiful creatures.
22:37Beautiful.
22:37Almost too beautiful.
22:39More intelligent than anyone at this table.
22:43Perhaps if I was to construct a horse, then we'd know.
22:46I appreciate that.
22:46Right. I've done this before. I'm sure I can do it again.
22:49Fascinating.
22:50These are the front legs here. We call these the cloppers, back legs, the clippers.
22:57Clip clop.
22:59Right? You see what I'm saying?
23:00I see.
23:01You do not want to stand behind a horse.
23:02You do not want to...
23:03I just want to try.
23:06What can a horse do?
23:08You tell me.
23:09Well, it can run but it can also break your heart.
23:13I can see it.
23:15Yes.
23:15That is our horse.
23:17What shall we name it?
23:18Gerald.
23:20Gerald.
23:21Gerald.
23:22Let's enter him at York.
23:25Probably faster than the horse I bet on last week.
23:35Thank you, sir.
23:35I shall never wager any significant amount of money without consulting you first.
23:40Ah.
23:47Miss Bennet.
23:49I was hoping to speak to you.
23:52Really?
23:52Well, I couldn't let this evening pass without having the privilege of talking to you properly.
23:58It's a shame then that you chose to seat me so far from you at dinner.
24:05You met Lady Catherine once, did you not?
24:08I did.
24:10Only recently we were talking about your family and she confessed herself astonished at the great difference between you and
24:16your sisters.
24:17She felt that you were not as handsome as Elizabeth, nor as provoking, not as beautiful as Jane, nor as
24:26willing as Kitty and, well, who could measure up to Lydia's joie de vivre.
24:35It was very candid of her.
24:37She is known for her frankness.
24:39I sometimes wonder if frankness isn't just a poor excuse for unkindness.
24:47Tell me, Miss Bennet, do you intend to marry?
24:52Let's assume we all must marry in the end.
24:57Perhaps you might allow me to offer you a little advice.
25:01If you wish.
25:02It seems to me that a great deal of time is thrown away in pursuit of attachments that can never
25:10come to anything.
25:12Such as Mr. Ryder?
25:18Do you mean to suggest that I am pursuing Mr. Ryder?
25:21Or that he is pursuing me?
25:24For both are quite without foundation.
25:26And yet it seems you do all you can to please him.
25:30I cannot imagine why else he would speak of you as he does.
25:34What do you mean?
25:35Confine yourself to your proper sphere, Miss Bennet.
25:39Presumptions of this kind only lead to disappointment and humiliation, where matters of the heart are concerned.
25:49You seem to know a great deal about rejection.
25:53Is this a lesson you've learned from extensive study?
25:57Or do you perhaps owe it to experience of a more personal nature?
26:05I only regret love.
26:10Oh, Miss Bingley.
26:11Miss Bingley, welcome to the game.
26:13I fear I have a bad nose today.
26:16It was a very thorough lesson in horse racing.
26:21You had a dinner, Miss Bennet.
26:25It was, yes, most interesting.
26:28I wanted to say that...
26:32I wanted to ask, or that is to say, I had noticed at the ball that Mr. Ryder had occupied
26:38a great deal of your time.
26:40And he often acts without thinking.
26:43I'd be very glad to ask him to be more restrained if that is what you would like.
26:51I very much enjoy his company.
26:53And I...
26:58I see.
26:59No, I...
26:59Of course, I...
27:00No, no, no.
27:00Forgive my intrusion.
27:01No, that is to say, I'm... I'm not drawn to him.
27:06Who is she, a Bennet girl?
27:07The one you said was plain.
27:08Oh, the governess.
27:10She was the only one of the five not to marry.
27:12Can you imagine?
27:13She didn't look very plain to me.
27:15She was tolerable to her.
27:17And you can see Ryder's interest in her.
27:18If I were him, I'd snap her up before some other fellow does.
27:21Excuse me.
27:23I believe Miss Bennet would like to sing for us.
27:27How lovely, Mary.
27:29Oh, I have no wish to do anything of the sort.
27:31Come on, Miss Bennet, you must sing.
27:33Sing!
27:35Sing!
27:36Sing!
27:37Sing!
27:38Sing!

27:50Mary.
27:51We must get you to Pemberley.
27:53Immediately.
27:53We have received an urgent letter.
27:55Your mother's been taken gravely ill.
27:57Oh!
27:58Take our carriage and go.
27:59Now!
28:00Oh!
28:01Oh!
28:02Oh!

28:09Oh!
28:11Come on, Mary.
28:12You must hurry.
28:13Come, dear.
28:15Oh!
28:15Oh!
28:17Oh!
28:18Oh!
28:20Oh!
28:22Oh!
