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.
03:41Bye.
03:42Bye.
03:45Bye.
03:47Bye.
03:52My dear Mary,
03:55I 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.
04:33I had come to London to see the world outside of my family,
04:37and that is what I would do.
04:45Oh, Mary, you're painting!
04:48To teach the children.
04:49Oh, how marvellous to see your imagination at play.
04:56It's terrible.
04:58No, no, it's...
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, the unseasonable pollen,
05:13and an unpleasant exchange with a rude shopkeeper,
05:16I understand that she is, yes.
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.
05:50Whatever 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.
07:00Miss Bennet, thank you for humouring 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 skilfully deploys to avoid such events.
07:21Well, remind me to ask her what they are.
07:23Yes, I am afraid that my petitions for Goodwether
07:27have been in vain.
07:28No matter.
07:29We will not be dissuaded by a little drizzle.
07:33A little drizzle?
07:38Just down there.
07:45This way?
07:47Yes.
07:59Ow.
08:03That's magical.
08:07Well...
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
08:29the less I understand.
08:38Earth
08:39has not anything to show
08:41more fair.
08:44Dull would he be of soul
08:46who could pass by
08:47a sight so touching
08:49in its majesty.
08:51This city
08:53now
08:54doth

14:40woman who lived

14:47children she didn't
14:48know what to do
14:50she gave them
14:51some broth
14:52without any bread
14:53and she whipped
14:54them all soundly
14:55and put them to
14:55bed
14:57that poem
14:58started very well
15:00and ended
15:01very badly
15:02a good observation

16:55I would be sad

17:34London's
17:35liveliness

17:40given it a chance
17:41things change
17:44people
17:47situations
17:50over time
17:55may I venture
17:56something on that
17:56subject
17:59the other day
18:01I went to buy
18:02a bonnet
18:03and in the first
18:04shop I went into
18:06found a stunning
18:07bonnet
18:08an elegant blue
18:09quite lovely on me
18:10if I dare say
18:10such a thing
18:12when I went to
18:13purchase it
18:16it had been
18:17reserved for
18:18someone else
18:21I went into
18:22another shop
18:22and found
18:23not four
18:24other bonnets
18:25I liked just as
18:26much
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
18:45no I'm saying
18:46that London
18:47has such a
18:47variety of
18:48choices

18:49quantity
18:50too

19:33London fondly
19:36this may be
19:37your final event
19:38with us before

19:43I resolved
19:44not to send
19:45the letter to
19:46mother just
19:46yet
19:48it would be
19:49a shame to
19:50leave before
19:50the weekend
20:19change
20:29Sorry, I didn't realise there was a line.
20:31No, please.
20:32I wish more people had such a restrained relationship to punch.
20:37May I?
20:38Oh, yes, of course.
20:40Noble defender of the punch.
20:42I surrender my post.
20:47And what brings you here?
20:48The were games or the company?
20:50I like words.
20:52I'm not much for games.
20:55Ah, and it is the company you've come for.
20:58Miss...
20:58Bennett. Mary Bennett.
21:01William Ryder.
21:03And where have you come from, Miss Bennett?
21:06Surely I would have remembered seeing you near punch bowls across London.
21:10I am...
21:12new in town.
21:14Well, I for one am always pleased to see a new face.
21:23I see the riddles are about to commence.
21:26I see the riddles are about to commence.
21:26We are wise to begin with full glasses.
21:35And now, the quick-fire round.
21:39Two words, one answer.
21:42Counterfeit agony.
21:44Counterfeit agony.
21:46I mean...
21:47My brain is in agony.
21:48It isn't counterfeit.
21:49It is quite real.
21:51Champagne.
21:52Ryder.
21:53Champagne.
21:54Champagne!
21:55Why, right, Miss Clark.
21:56Another point to you and our new leader.
22:00Fancy delivering a champagne in word, not in glass.
22:03Tease us, Mr Gardiner.
22:05All right then, Mr Ryder.
22:06Here's one for you.
22:09Judy's fellow.
22:14My God, I know it.
22:17Punch!
22:18Oh, well done, Mr Ryder.
22:20Finally you've arrived on the school.
22:27My first word, comedians dread to hear.
22:32My next new life in a revolving year.
22:37I'll repeat it.
22:38My first word, comedians dread to hear.
22:41My next new life in a revolving year.
22:45Offspring.
22:46Yes!
22:46Oh, well done, Miss Bennet.
22:48Miss Bennet.
22:50Well done.
22:51Yes, Miss Bennet.
22:55Cheers to you.
22:56What's next?
22:57Mandarin.
22:59Delicious.
22:59Miss Bennet.
23:00How lovely to see you.
23:01You too, Miss Bexter.
23:03Mr Haywood, we're so pleased you made it.
23:05I had false intelligence.
23:07You were busy this evening.
23:08Well, we somehow managed to persuade Mr Haywood away from his work.
23:12I have an important case.
23:14Oh, he has the terrible fortune of being the only lawyer in London who exclusively gets important cases.
23:21Do excuse us, Mrs G.
23:23Excuse me.
23:25Miss Bennet.
23:27Tom, Will.
23:30Mr Ryder and I studied law together.
23:32Yes, Mr Haywood is responsible for my untimely retirement in the field.
23:37Is that so, Mr Ryder?
23:38Well, he fed me so many poems, I believe myself a deep, romantic soul.
23:43Too sensitive for the rigors of law.
23:45Seems like a heavy charge to lay solely at the feet of poetry.
23:50Mary, how is the night of games going?
23:52Do we have any hope for making a late charge for the prize?
23:55Not unless you wish to bribe our host.
23:57Miss Bennet here is putting us all to shame.
23:59Oh, nonsense, Miss Ryder.
24:00You beat me to the punch.
24:02You see?
24:04Masterful words.
24:08Please gather yourselves for the penultimate round.
24:12Mr Ryder.
24:13What?
24:14I'm glad to see you're in better spirits, Miss Bennet.
24:19This evening has been something of a tonic, Mr Haywood.
24:25Round three.
24:27Ready?
24:29Sunday.
24:30Yes!
24:31Appointed Miss Baxter!
24:35Think sharp.
24:36Is it don't droves?
24:38No, no, no, forget I said anything.
24:40It's Mercury.
24:41Yes!
24:41It is indeed.
24:42Well done.
24:43Is it really?
24:44Well done.
24:45How remarkable.
24:49Come on.
24:51Anybody?
24:52Lighthouse.
24:52Yes!
24:53I've barely had a chance to think, let alone speak.
24:56I've never known a lack of thinking to prevent you from speaking.
25:00That is five points apiece for Miss Clark and Miss Bennet.
25:07Well done.
25:13The final round.
25:15The two players with the most points go head-to-head to crack one final riddle and decide the winner.
25:21The leaders come as no surprise, Miss Clark and Miss Bennet.
25:26You mean I didn't make it?
25:28Well, I'm astonished at that.
25:30Mrs Gardner, would you do the odds?
25:34To suffer my seconds, the doom of my first.
25:39And of all of my seconds, my whole is the worst.
25:56Heartache!
25:58Yes!
26:00Good Lord!
26:01She's Britain's finest mind!
26:08We declare we have a winner!
26:10London's newest arrival, but its fiercest competitor, Miss Mary Bennet!
26:21I'm very glad that we arrived in time to see you crowned, Miss Bennet.
26:27I wanted to say, Miss Bennet, you are a liar.
26:32Am I?
26:33You told me you were not much for games.
26:36Well, I...
26:38I can't catch.
26:39I can't.
26:41Miss Bennet, I've been meaning to invite you to tea since I hear, very sadly, you are leaving London.
26:46Miss Bennet, surely not.
26:47You can't deprive the game players of London your... your riddling talents.
26:52A round of applause for our winner, Miss Bennet.
26:56Well done!
26:57Bravo, bravo, bravo, bravo.
27:01In that moment, I think I understood what my aunt was telling me with the convoluted story about the bonnets.
27:11That quantity has a quality all of its own.
27:22Thank you so much.
27:23I never doubted you.
27:24Well done.
27:26This way.
27:27Thank you for coming.
27:28Missing on.
27:32Mary, how you shone.
27:35You even caught the attention of the most I'd leave London before I've, you know, given it a fair chance.
27:40I think I might like to stay a little while, if it's not too much burden.
27:44It's not a burden to us at all.
27:47We're delighted to have you with us.
27:52Oh, thank you so much for coming.
27:54Living in London was helping me to see that there could be more to life than just marriage or misery.
28:00Perhaps my aunt was right.
28:02Even the most hopeless of situations, the most hopeless of people, can, with kindness, change, little by little, over time.
28:18I was excited to discover who Mary Bennett might be.
28:22I won't see you there like that.
28:26Oh, yeah.
