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.
03:31Bye.
03:33Bye.
03:42Bye.
03:53my dear mary i fear your correspondence has not been reaching me i have heard nothing from you at
04:01all how are you managing your duties you never were good with children even when you were one
04:10yourself i may require you to return to pemberley where i will be spending the summer
04:20lizzie has expressed a wish to see you but 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 to teach the children oh how marvelous to see your imagination at play
04:56it's terrible no no it's very neat did you see the letter from your mother
05:07is she well between several complaints about the damp the unseasonable pollen and an unpleasant
05:14exchange with the rude shopkeeper i understand that she is yes i honestly think she enjoys such
05:19encounters it makes her feel more alive oh now speaking of encounters i think this might be of
05:28interest to you tom made a strange request to mr gardner and i and extended the invitation to you too
05:34mary oh yes he was most mysterious he wants us to meet him tomorrow morning where he says he plans
05:43to
05:43break through our rational reserve and move our hearts as well as our heads he does yes whatever that might
05:50entail i must work on my lesson plans oh mary you must join us for my sake please consider it
06:03uh
06:09uh
06:58Mr. and Mrs. Gardiner, Miss Bennet, thank you for humoring me.
07:03Are we allowed to know the purpose of our visit?
07:05I have conspired with the City of London and William Wordsworth himself for a morning recital unlike any other in
07:12a hidden garden.
07:13Good Lord.
07:14Will Miss Baxter be joining us?
07:16I'm afraid Miss Baxter has a variety of excuses that 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 for good weather have been in vain.
07:28No matter. We will not be dissuaded by a little drizzle.
07:33A little drizzle?
07:38Just down there.
07:45This way?
07:47Yes.
08:03That's magical.
08:06Wow.
08:12Please forgive the theatrics.
08:15I had given Miss Bennet the impossible task of understanding poetry without any real sense of how to feel it.
08:24Sometimes, with poetry, the 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, a sight so touching in its majesty.
08:52This city now doth, like a garment, wear the beauty of the morning, silent, bare.
09:05Ships, towers, domes, theatres, and temples lie 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, I 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 seems 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 good garden.
10:32Yes, it is beautiful.
10:34The river would be...
10:40Well, Miss Bennet.
10:45How do you feel?
10:48I...
10:50Well, uh...
10:51For once, I have nothing to say.
10:54I'm sorry to hear that.
10:55No, I, um...
10:57No, I wish to say something...
11:00Inspiring, but I...
11:03Do 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 puzzle through things I do not understand.
11:30But I do not believe that you are truly a stranger to strong emotions.
11:44Forgive me.
11:47Oh, um...
11:48Sorry, Miss Bennet, I...
11:50Oh...
11:50It was just a petal.
11:52Mr 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.
12:07What with, uh...
12:09Social engagements and, uh...
12:12Miss Baxter.
12:16I'm sure you'll scarcely have time to notice I am gone.
12:20Well, I'd hoped that this would restore your spirit.
12:23Oh, indeed it did.
12:25It did.
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.
13:38I must plan today's lessons.
13:39I 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, I do not wish to burn them.
13:55And it will, of course, be an honour to 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, she didn't know what to do.
14:50She gave them some broth without any bread.
14:53And she whipped them all soundly and put them to bed.
14:57That poem started very well and ended very badly.
15:02A good observation, Miss Marianne.
15:04Why didn't she just move into a boot when the children got too many?
15:08Fine suggestion, Miss Rebecca.
15:09It's a glorious revolution all finished then, Miss Bennet.
15:13This week, we will write and perform a poem instead.
15:17Yes!
15:19I want to do a poem about myself because I'm quite interested.
15:23I'll do typhoid.
15:25Or frogs.
15:27Disgusting.
15:29Miss Marianne?
15:32Love.
15:33Love.
15:34Love.
15:35Love.
15:39Love.
15:43Love.
15:44The 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 sat on a log the frog was quite full it had eaten ten flies two slugs
16:14one worm
16:15and three lily pad pies oh miss bennett you were obviously inspired by our morning poetry reading
16:26oh i was i know i am yes i am oh no what is it miss rebecca i had a
16:35prop and i forgot to use it
16:38oh uh well um fear not a prop is is a cheap trick that diminishes the power of words indeed
16:50who's next
16:55i would be sad to leave london it was the first time i had ever felt a sense of belonging
17:04oh there you are i wanted to say thank you for such a wonderful day the children will be inconsolable
17:12about you leaving marianne is stitching you a cushion with an inspirational latin phrase i believe
17:19oh yes it's mori quam fodari death before dishonor goodness how exciting
17:28we shall miss you mary
17:30i think we both know i'm not well suited to london's liveliness
17:36oh mary you've barely given it a chance things change people situations
17:49over time
17:54may i venture something on that subject
17:59the other day i went to buy a bonnet and in the first shop i went into found a stunning
18:07bonnet
18:08an elegant blue quite lovely on me if i dare say such a thing
18:12when i went to purchase it
18:16it had been reserved for someone else
18:21i went into another shop and found not four other bonnets i like just as much and in the end
18:30one a shade of dusky pink that suited me even more
18:37do you do you see what i'm saying
18:42blue is not your color
18:46no i'm saying that london has such a variety of choices and such quantity too
18:50you may enjoy the first thing you see well enough
18:54but often something more exciting will come along
19:00anyway i just thought i'd let you know
19:03well um yes thank you for that
19:06it was very interesting
19:09oh i was meaning to tell you we have decided to host a little entertainment tomorrow

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 word 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.
22:12Oh.
22:14My God, I know it.
22:17Punch!
22:18Oh, well done, Mr Ryder.
22:20Finally, you've arrived on the floor.
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.
22:51Poor Robert.
22:52Yes, 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.
23:04We'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.
23:28Will.
23:30Mr Ryder and I studied law together.
23:32Ah.
23:32Yes.
23:33Mr 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.
24:31Appoint your best master.
24:35Think sharp.
24:36Is it doll troops?
24:38No, no, no.
24:39Forget I said anything.
24:40Mercury.
24:41Yes.
24:41Indeed.
24:42Well done.
24:43Is it really?
24:44Well done.
24:45Oh, 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
25:20the winner.
25:21The leaders come as no surprise, Miss Clark and Miss Bennet.
25:26You mean I didn't make it?
25:28I'm astonished.
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!
26:07We 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...
26:29Miss Bennet!
26:30You are a liar.
26:32Am I?
26:33You told me you were not much for games.
26:36Well, I...
26:38I can't catch.
26:41Miss Bennet, I've been meaning to invite you to tea since I hear, very sadly, you are
26:45leaving London.
26:46Miss Bennet, surely not?
26:47You can't deprive the game players of London your... your riddling talents.
26:52Round of applause for our winner, Miss Bennet.
26:56Well done!
26:58Bravo, bravo, bravo, bravo.
27:01In that moment, I think I understood what my aunt was telling me with the convoluted story
27:07about the bonnets.
27:11That quantity has a quality all of its own.
27:17Thank you so much.
27:42It'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
27:58or misery.
28:00Perhaps my aunt was right.
28:02Even the most hopeless of situations, the most hopeless of people, can, with kindness, change
28:13little by little, over time.
28:18I was excited to discover who Mary Bennet might be.
28:22Thank you so much.
28:52You
