TVTranscript
00:24The
00:25loss of my father was a leap into the unknown.
00:29Longbourn was my childhood home
00:31And although I had my struggles here
00:33It was all I had ever known
00:37From now on, would I be relying on the hospitality of my sisters?
00:43Destined to spend my days as my mother's companion
00:49What other choice did I have?
00:54I do not expect any of you to understand my pain
00:59The bond Mr. Bennet and I shared was a rare thing
01:04I do not know that I shall ever eat again
01:10Who is that?
01:12I do not know, Mama
01:13What sort of person would impinge upon our hour of mourning so distastefully?
01:23Charlotte, I am afraid you find us in a state of some disarray
01:28Understandably
01:30We have been wanting to see you all since we heard the terrible news
01:34But knew you would need time as a family to
01:37To gather your things
01:38Yourselves
01:39Together
01:43I want to make it quite clear
01:48No
01:50Quite clear that there's no rush for you to leave Longbourn
01:54Thank you, Mr. Collins
01:57You are quite welcome to stay here with us for a full two weeks
02:01Two weeks
02:03Mrs. Bennet, there really is no hurry for you and Mary to leave
02:06But I have arranged you some help with the packing
02:08So you are not obliged to undertake such a difficult task during your hour of need
02:15Mmm
02:17Oh
02:26Mama
02:27You must come and stay with Mr. Bennet and I at Netherfield
02:32We have a number of cooks and more servants than we know what to do with
02:37Oh, Jane
02:39I would be delighted
02:41It would bring me great comfort to be in a sightable property with a large number of staff at my
02:46disposal
02:49And Mary, you of course must come too
02:53Thank you
02:54But if you're worried about company, Caroline Bingley stays with us often
03:00Well, yes, but I have not yet thought through my future prospects
03:07Speaking of your prospects, Mary
03:09I have received a letter from my brother and his wife in London
03:12Their governess has been called back to Norfolk
03:16And they have asked me to send you to stay with them until a suitable replacement is found
03:21There is going to be a governess
03:23Oh, Mary
03:24I would very much like to help
03:25But, um, you will need me, Mama
03:30I have already accepted their offer
03:32They're sending a carriage
03:35But, Mama, do not worry about me, Mary
03:38I shall have Jane by my side
03:56If my options in life really were marriage or misery
04:00It looked very much as though I was destined for misery
04:11Mrs. Bennet is...indisposed
04:15Oh
04:17Of course
04:19Thank you, Hill
04:25Um
04:29What if the children don't like me?
04:32Why should they not like you?
04:34You're a perfectly likeable soul
04:36I have nothing ready to teach them
04:42Mary, nobody knows more facts about anything than you
04:48It's time for you to get out and see the world
04:51Meet some other people that live in it
04:54I think it'll do you good
04:57Do not be frightened, Miss Mary
04:59Oh, no, I'm not
05:01No, I'm just, um
05:02I'm just...
05:04I'm just so mayoría of humans
05:20Being so joyful
05:23Mmm
05:25Hmm
05:31Give me a little help
06:34Oh, Mary, welcome.
06:36Mary, you must be hungry after your journey.
06:38Would you like some toasted cheese?
06:40But first, we'll show you your room.
06:41Come in, come in.
06:44It's right at the top of the house,
06:46so you won't be disturbed by the children.
06:48Come in.
07:07How's your mother?
07:10Mother, she's had a most trying time of late.
07:12Well, you all have.
07:15Mother is well.
07:16Thank you for inquiring.
07:19And how are you, Mary?
07:22It must have been a terrible shock.
07:27It was.
07:30Well, thank you for stepping in at such short notice.
07:33We don't stand on ceremony here, especially with the children,
07:36so if you don't mind that, you'll do well with us.
07:40And the rest of your belongings will be brought up any moment.
07:43Do you have all you need?
07:45I do.
08:00Which mountain range is found at the end of your armies?
08:05Oh, hi.
08:07The Andes.
08:08The Andes.
08:11The Andes.
08:16The Andes.
08:19Oh, that's good.
08:22Not so good.
08:24Mary, won't you join us for breakfast?
08:26Oh, no, no.
08:27No, sir, thank you, sir.
08:28I'm not at all hungry this morning.
08:30I shall see the children upstairs.
08:44Mary Ann, would you like to start?
08:48Miss Bennet, it's a pleasure to meet you.
08:50I am Mary Ann Gardner, and I'm 11 years old.
08:54It's my pleasure to meet you too, Miss Mary Ann.
08:59George!
09:02Yes, thank you, George.
09:04And this is...
09:10This is Rebecca.
09:12Thank you, Miss Rebecca.
09:15And if an organised body is not in the situation and circumstances best adapted to its sustenance
09:25and propagation, then, in conceiving an indefinite variety among the individuals of that species,
09:34we must be assured that, on the one hand, those which depart most from the best adapted constitution
09:41will be the most liable to perish.
09:48You've made him go to sleep.
09:55Let us move on to history, shall we?
09:57Now, in 1492, Christopher Columbus discovered America.
10:04Now, where is America?
10:05Ah, yes, America.
10:13Where has Rebecca gone?
10:15There were very clearly three of you in this room when I began looking at the globe, and
10:19now there are two of you.
10:21She vanished.
10:22She's a magician.
10:24Oh, magic is nothing but illusion and trickery.
10:26Oh.
10:27Now, where could she be?
10:30Oh!
10:30Tom!
10:31You're here!
10:31Tom!
10:32Can we finish lessons now?
10:34Yes.
10:35Oh, forgive the intrusion.
10:36I, er, came to tell you that dinner is served, and you must be Miss Bennet.
10:42I, I must be.
10:44Oh, yes, I, I am.
10:46Er, er, Tom Hayward.
10:48Oh.
10:48Friend of the family.
10:51Hmm.
10:55Aren't there normally three of you?
10:57There were three, certainly, but I was looking at America, and when I looked back, it was...
11:11Do you have mice, Miss Bennet?
11:13For if you do, might I suggest you do not keep them in the toy trunk?
11:19Well, I, I wasn't sure.
11:22I thought perhaps mice like toy trunks.
11:25No, you see, in there, they cannot get to their cheese.
11:28Actually, it's, um, it's a fallacy that mice like cheese.
11:33Of course.
11:34They're much more partial to root vegetables and grains.
11:38Yes, indeed.
11:39I'm a rabbit.
11:43Mr. Hayward?
11:47Mr. Hayward, I am keeping a rabbit in the toy trunk because I, er...
11:56Because rabbits are not at all social creatures.
11:59Exactly.
12:00Yes, they are.
12:01Oh.
12:05Now, why exactly do you have a new governess?
12:09Is it that you keep eating them?
12:14Er...
12:17Tom helped Edward with the legal matter some years ago, and we've been friends ever since.
12:22You're another of our former lodgers.
12:24Oh.
12:25Yes.
12:26Oh.
12:27What is a revolutionary Republican?
12:34Well, er, as discussed during the lesson, um, they're often associated with Jacobinism.
12:40But my point really was...
12:42I thought you had a very interesting first day, Miss Bennet.
12:44Well, er...
12:46Have you read Catherine Macaulay, Miss Bennet?
12:49Yes, I have.
12:51Yes.
12:52Mary told us about smallpox.
12:54I shall never sleep again.
12:56Well, er, er, you asked me to be truthful.
12:59What's a deadly rash?
13:01She said it can leave one blind or dead.
13:04That is not quite how I put it.
13:06Blind or dead, she said.
13:07Well, that is true.
13:09There's a mortality rate of about...
13:10Thirty percent.
13:14Exactly.
13:16George cried three times.
13:19There was something in my eye.
13:20We held hands until Mary had finished talking.
13:24Well, you're never too young to learn about life.
13:28I think our game is in order, don't you?
13:30I think that's a very good idea.
13:32Yes!
13:33Yes!
13:33I'm first!
13:35But what should we play?
13:36Graces!
13:37Ah.
13:38Let's show Mary how to play graces.
13:41Yes!
13:42Marianne?
13:43Well called, Mary.
13:44Bravo!
13:45Well done.
13:45Bravo.
13:46You're to back up.
13:48Woo!
13:49Oh!
13:50Oh!
13:51Look.
13:51That counts.
13:52It does indeed.
13:53It does indeed.
13:54It does indeed.
13:55Oh!
13:57You'll need to get someone to look at that.
13:59Send it to Blythe, she'll fix it for you.
14:02Ready?
14:03Yay!
14:04Well done.
14:05Yes!
14:05Yes!
14:06Well done.
14:07Flare play.
14:08You look like a wizard.
14:10Yes.
14:17Are you sure you won't join in, Mary?
14:19Oh, no.
14:21I'm not good at games.
14:22Oh, that doesn't matter at all.
14:25Yes.
14:27Well, you couldn't possibly be as ungainly as I am.
14:30Really, I'd only spoil it.
14:38George.
14:40Ready?
14:42Oh, thank you.
14:49Yes, Dom.
14:50Mr. Gun.
14:52Oh!
14:53Oh!
15:11Yes?
15:13Yes?
15:13Mary?
15:16Oh, do not look so grave, my dear.
15:18You're not in trouble.
15:20With the weather getting warmer, we're about to become more sociable.
15:23Oh!
15:24Oh, please, do not feel any obligation to involve me.
15:26I shall be quite content to stay upstairs with the children.
15:29Mary, we want you to join us.
15:33But I do not sparkle at dinners.
15:37In our house, no one is obliged to sparkle.
15:42Then, of course.
15:45But we need to get you properly dressed.
15:47Oh.
15:47I thought perhaps tomorrow we could go to the haberdashers and you could pick out some fabrics.
15:52I do not really care for dressers.
15:55Well, that's a shame.
15:55But very well.
15:59Perhaps think about it, Mary.
16:01There is a dress allowance as part of your governess wages.
16:05I have thought about it.
16:07And I would very much like to accept your kind offer.
16:11That's excellent news.
16:14Well, good night, Mary.
16:16And thank you for today.
16:26This must be such a change for Meriton.
16:29It most certainly is.
16:37What do you think of the deep greens?
16:44We have a soiree coming up.
16:46And I think deep green would be perfect.
16:50Mother has always said it's terribly difficult to get any colour to work with my complexion.
16:54Really?
16:55Well, perhaps your complexions change because I can see many colours here which would work well on you.
17:00But the most important thing being is that you choose fabrics that you truly like.
17:07But Mother says that Mother isn't here.
17:13Mr. Gardiner?
17:15Mr. Gardiner?
17:15Miss Bennet?
17:16Tom!
17:17Mr. Hayward, have you brought your jacket to be mended?
17:20I have just this minute dropped it off.
17:22Well, now that you're here, you can make yourself useful.
17:26Miss Bennet needs to choose some dress fabric.
17:29I find myself quite overwhelmed by the choice.
17:31Well, I shall be honest and say that my experience of picking dress fabric is limited.
17:36To say the least.
17:38But I shall try.
17:41Have you seen the names of these colours?
17:44We've got Dust of Ruins, Corbeau, Flamme de Bonche.
17:51Anyone?
17:51Um, I think I shall take the Drake's neck with a splash of num key.
17:57Anyone for gaboche?
17:58Well, I mean, that's just yellow, that one.
18:01Yes.
18:02Yes.
18:05I think my advice would be to choose the colours that make one feel most like oneself.
18:10And I am sorry not to be of more use.
18:13I should return to my desk and a particularly unexciting land negotiation.
18:19Good day.
18:21Good day.
18:26Oh, poor Tom.
18:28He works so hard.
18:29Really?
18:30Underneath that light-hearted manor, carries the weight of the world on his shoulders.
18:37Now, have you decided?
18:41I have chosen.
18:43Very well, Mary.
18:47The first is this crimson.
18:50And then I thought perhaps a spring green trim.
18:54Lovely.
18:55Yes.
18:56But you will need two dresses.
18:57So perhaps...
19:00China blue?
19:05Do you think a dress in the spring green alone would be garish?
19:10What do you think, Mary?
19:14Some people may think it is wild, but I like it.
19:20Then I think you should please yourself and not worry what others may think.
19:24You've done a very good job.
19:27Now.
19:55Oh, my gosh.
20:01The gardeners are out.
20:03They're buying shoes for the children.
20:06Would you like to play graces?
20:11Well, um, yes. Thank you.
20:19Ready? Yes.
20:24Oh!
20:28I did it.
20:30You did? Natural.
20:32Beginner's luck.
20:34Right, um...
20:36Ready?
20:37Mm.
20:37Uh, um...
20:40Oh, my God.
20:42Here we go.
20:47Ready?
20:52Here.
20:55Here.
20:59Here.
21:13Oh.
21:20Ready?
21:22Yes.
21:24Oh.
21:25Oh, oh, oh, oh.
21:27Oh.
21:28Um.
21:29Uh.
21:30Uh.
21:30Yeah, that's probably enough graces for today.
21:36Oh, yes, I brought a book for Mrs Byron.
21:41Oh, of course, yes.
21:43Ah, poetry.
21:45Do you like poetry, Miss Bennet?
21:47I prefer facts to whimsy.
21:52Whimsy?
21:53I've tried, well, Cowper, Byron, even some Dryden.
21:58But, um...
22:00Well, it seems to me that it's all just... words.
22:05What were you expecting?
22:08Are you a scholar, sir?
22:11Er, no. I'm a barrister, junior.
22:14And though the law is my business, poetry is my passion.
22:19What do you like to read?
22:21Er, works of non-fiction, eh?
22:24Um, histories and, er... and geology.
22:27And what do you like to read for pleasure?
22:31That is reading for pleasure.
22:34There is nothing you like about poetry.
22:41Some poems are mercifully short.
22:46Well, now that you have thrown down the gauntlet, I will not rest until you have appreciated the merit of
22:53poetry.
22:56I believe that this is the book that will open the heart of Miss Mary Bennet.
23:09The gardeners are home.
23:10Oh, is it...
23:11Er, yes.
23:12Yes.
23:12Er, well...
23:14It's not...
23:14It's not...
23:15It's not really long.
23:17It's mother!
23:18Oh, Tom!
23:42And we'll need more scallops.
23:44Mrs. Shomley will claim she couldn't possibly before helping herself to seven.
23:49Must be very strange without your family here.
23:53There was always at least one argument about stolen perfume.
24:02Mary, you look lovely.
24:06I'm not sure.
24:10I think we should let your hair fall naturally.
24:13No point trying to force it into curls if it doesn't want to go.
24:21Here.
24:36Here.
24:39Cheers.
24:41Cheers.
24:41Cheers.
24:43Cheers!
24:45Cheers.
24:45Yes.
25:01Um, I mean, that's basically it.
25:03But they're awfully fun to hunt.
25:10Good evening.
25:12I do not believe we have met.
25:14I'm Miss Baxter.
25:16Delighted to meet you, Miss Baxter.
25:18I am Miss Bennet.
25:20I have not long moved to London from Hertfordshire.
25:24Farnshaw, Mr Farnshaw.
25:30A friend of my mother's died eating those nuts.
25:35One got stuck in his throat and that was it.
25:37He was quite dead in minutes.
25:44Oh, I hope I didn't cause any offence.
25:46That was marvellous.
25:48Oh, I shall keep that story in mind for when I want to be rid of someone.
25:51Forgive me, but it wasn't deliberate.
25:55I hate the first 20 minutes of these evenings.
25:58As do I.
25:59I never know who to talk to and I often find myself saying the wrong things.
26:07Your dress is striking.
26:08It looks very well on you.
26:10You really think so?
26:11I feel a little bold in it.
26:13Well, you're in London, Miss Bennet.
26:15If you're going to be bold, here is the place to do it.
26:20Perhaps London will be the start of something new for you.
26:23Perhaps it will.
26:25And if you want to be shown around town, I could call on you?
26:38London, it turned out, was a place of learning as much as teaching.
26:43A place of trying new things.
26:47And though I had never liked change, I seemed to be enjoying myself.
26:54Much about me felt different after just one week.
26:59Being here had lifted my spirits.
27:02I felt something long forgotten.
27:06Hope.
27:08Are you looking for someone?
27:12You must tell me all about it in a moment.
27:16Meg, there's a gentleman I'd like you to meet.
27:19We have something of an understanding.
27:22Please may I introduce Mr. Tom Hayward.
27:29We've already met.
27:32Miss Bennet?
27:32Oh, of course, you must have.
27:35Oh, I see you went for the Pomona trip.
27:38Uh, it's, um, spring green.
27:40It's quite different to Pomona.
27:42Well, it suits you very well.
27:46Tom!
27:47Excuse us, ladies.
27:48You must come and meet my colleague, Mr. May.
27:55Mr. Hayward and I met three years ago this spring.
27:58We are hoping to be married next year.
28:01Not everything went exactly as I would have liked.
28:04Come on.
28:06Oh, please excuse us.
28:08Come, Mary.
28:09It'll be fun.
28:10Of course a man such as Mr. Hayward would have secured a match.
28:15But I had made friends.
28:17And that was enough.
28:25I did not know what tomorrow would bring.
28:29But for now, at least I had someone to dance with.
28:33I did not know what tomorrow would bring.
29:20And that was enough.
29:21I did not know what tomorrow would bring.
29:21I thought I was going to dance with.
29:21I don't know.
29:21I don't know.
29:21I got to dance with.
29:29I don't know.
29:31I got to dance with.
29:35If London was to be a new start for me, I would push all thoughts of poetry and love aside.
29:47Mother warned me of the dirt, disease and despair that could be found here.
29:53She failed to mention the breadth of humanity.
29:59And the anonymity of the city suited me well.
30:03I had taken to walking the city's beautiful parks.
30:07It seemed that all life was in London.
30:11And here I could be anything I wanted.
30:21Surely I would find something I could succeed at in this vast, inspiring city.
30:29Where did I put it?
30:31How should I know?
30:32Oh, she breaks my heart a little.
30:34She seems so awkward in herself.
30:37I worry my sister's caused some harm to poor Mary.
30:40Oh, I wonder.
30:42She's perhaps not the most natural motherness.
30:44But what else could she do with life?
30:47Be her mother's companion?
30:49I thought Tom brought her out of herself.
30:51Kind-hearted man that he is.
30:53And she seemed to get on well with Anne Baxter the other evening.
30:56But she has so little confidence.
30:58Yes.
30:59It can't have been easy growing up in the shadow of her sisters.
31:03Found it.
31:04Oh, there it is.
31:06Well, I'm happy she's with us.
31:07She has an interesting and lovely mind.
31:14Oh, it's Bennett.
31:17Mr. Hayward.
31:19How are you?
31:20Eager to hear how you've been getting on with the poetry?
31:23Oh, well, er...
31:25I'm not sure I have the mind to appreciate it completely.
31:27I keep hoping Mr. Coleridge will explain himself
31:30or that Mr. Wordsworth will say what he really means.
31:33But they seem to enjoy keeping their secrets.
31:38Well, to not blame yourself,
31:39I think some poets enjoy being difficult to understand.
31:52Miss Bennett, I was so sorry to hear about your father.
31:56Moving to the city without your family,
31:59you not having your mother to confide in,
32:02or your sisters...
32:02Oh, it's a relief to be without her.
32:03In fact, it's something of a relief to be without any of them.
32:13I'm sorry you're not feeling yourself.
32:17I'm afraid I'm not.
32:19I'm just not finding my place here as easily as I thought.
32:23Sorry, please excuse me.
32:25Oh, Mary!
32:26Tom, how lovely to see you!
32:28Quietly, my dear.
32:29You'll summon the children who, I fear,
32:31have begun to associate Tom's name
32:33with a worryingly large bag of sugar plums.
32:35Please excuse me.
32:36Sorry, I'm sorry.
32:37Ah.
33:00My dear Mary,
33:02I fear your correspondence has not been reaching me.
33:06I have heard nothing from you at all.
33:11How are you managing your duties?
33:13You never were good with children,
33:15even when you were one yourself.
33:19I may require you to return to Pemberley,
33:22where I will be spending the summer.
33:27Lizzie has expressed a wish to see you,
33:29but more urgently, my new puppy has a nervous air
33:33and requires near-constant companionship.
33:40I had come to London to see the world outside of my family,
33:44and that is what I would do.
33:52Oh, Mary, your painting!
33:55To teach the children.
33:56Oh, how marvellous to see your imagination at play.
34:03It's terrible.
34:05No, no, it is...
34:07It's very neat.
34:10Did you see the letter from your mother?
34:13Is she well?
34:15Between several complaints about the damp,
34:18the unseasonable pollen,
34:19and an unpleasant exchange with a rude shopkeeper,
34:22I understand that she is.
34:24Yes.
34:24I honestly think she enjoys such encounters.
34:27It makes her feel more alive.
34:30Oh, now, speaking of encounters,
34:33I think this might be of interest to you.
34:36Tom made a strange request to Mr. Gardiner and I
34:39and extended the invitation to you too, Mary.
34:42Oh?
34:42Yes.
34:43He was most mysterious.
34:45He wants us to meet him tomorrow morning,
34:48where he says he plans to break through our rational reserve
34:52and move our hearts as well as our heads.
34:55He does?
34:56Yes.
34:56Whatever that might entail.
35:00I must work on my lesson plans.
35:02Oh, Mary, you must join us.
35:04For my sake?
35:06Please consider it.
35:35Please consider it.
36:05Mr. and Mrs. Gardiner.
36:07Miss Bennet, thank you for humoring me.
36:10Are we allowed to know the purpose of our visit?
36:12I have conspired with the City of London
36:14and William Wordsworth himself
36:16for a morning recital unlike any other
36:18in a hidden garden.
36:20Good Lord.
36:21Will Miss Baxter be joining us?
36:22I'm afraid Miss Baxter has a variety of excuses
36:25that she skillfully deploys to avoid such events.
36:28Well, remind me to ask her what they are.
36:31Yes.
36:31I am afraid that my petitions for Goodwether
36:34have been in vain.
36:35No matter.
36:36We will not be dissuaded by a little drizzle.
36:40A little drizzle?
36:45Just down there.
36:52This way?
36:53Yes.
37:10That's magical.
37:14Well...
37:19Please forgive the theatrics.
37:22I had given Miss Bennet the impossible task
37:25of understanding poetry
37:26without any real sense of how to feel it.
37:31Sometimes, with poetry
37:35the more I think
37:36the less I understand.
37:45Earth
37:46has not anything to show
37:48more fair.
37:51Dull would he be of soul
37:53who could pass by
37:54a sight so touching
37:56in its majesty.
37:58This city
38:00now
38:00doth
38:01like a garment
38:03wear the beauty of the morning
38:06silent
38:07bare.

39:21beautiful place
39:23our wisteria
39:24never flowers
39:25like this

42:07of her loneliness

43:57she gave them
43:58she gave them
43:58some broth

44:00bread
44:00and she whipped
44:01them all soundly
44:02and put them
44:02to bed
44:04that poem
44:05started very
44:06well

45:16it had eaten
45:18ten flies
45:19two slugs
45:21one worm
45:22and three
45:23lily pad pies
45:28Miss Bennett
45:29you were obviously
45:30inspired by our
45:31morning poetry

45:57who's next
46:02I would be sad
46:03to leave London

46:41London's
46:42liveliness

46:48things change
46:51people
46:54situations
46:57over time
47:01may I venture
47:02something on that
47:03subject
47:06the other day
47:08I went to buy a
47:09bonnet
47:10and in the first
47:11shop I went into
47:13found a stunning
47:14bonnet
47:14an elegant blue
47:16quite lovely on me
47:17if I dare say such a
47:18thing when I went
47:20to purchase it
47:23it had been
47:24reserved for
47:25someone else
47:27I went into
47:28another shop
47:29and found not
47:30four other
47:32bonnets I like
47:32just as much
47:33and in the end
47:36one a shade
47:38of dusky pink
47:39that suited me
47:40even more
47:44do you see
47:45what I'm saying
47:49blue is not
47:50your colour
47:52no I'm saying
47:53that London
47:54has such a
47:54variety of
47:55choices
47:55and such
47:56quantity too
47:57you may enjoy
47:59the first thing

48:40that you remember
48:40London fondly
48:43this may be your
48:44final event with us
48:45before you leave
48:50I resolved not to
48:52send the letter to
48:53mother just yet
48:55it would be a shame
48:56to leave before the
48:57weekend
49:26change
49:36Sorry, I didn't realise there was a line.
49:38No, please.
49:39I wish more people had such a restrained relationship to punch.
49:44May I?
49:44Oh, yes, of course.
49:47Noble defender of the punch.
49:49I surrender my post.
49:54And what brings you here?
49:55The were games or the company?
49:57I like words.
49:59Um, I'm not much for games.
50:01Ah, and it is the company you've come for.
50:05Miss...
50:05Bennet. Mary Bennet.
50:08William Ryder.
50:10And where have you come from, Miss Bennet?
50:12Surely I would have remembered seeing you near punch bowls across London.
50:17I am...
50:18new in town.
50:21Well, I, for one, am always pleased to see a new face.
50:25Oh.
50:28Now, please gather.
50:30Take your seats.
50:30I see the riddles are about to commence.
50:33We are wise to begin with full glasses.
50:43And now, the quickfire round.
50:46Two words, one answer.
50:49Counterfeit agony.
50:51Counterfeit agony.
50:52Agony.
50:53I mean, trick?
50:54My brain is in agony.
50:55It isn't counterfeit.
50:56It is quite real.
50:58Champagne.
50:58Ryder.
51:00Champagne.
51:01Champagne!
51:02Why, right, Miss Clark.
51:03Another point to you and our new leader.
51:07Fancy delivering a champagne in word, not in glass.
51:10Tease us, Mr. Gardiner.
51:12All right then, Mr. Ryder.
51:13Here's one for you.
51:16Judy's fellow.
51:18Oh.
51:21My God, I know it.
51:24Punch!
51:25Oh, well done, Mr. Ryder.
51:27Finally, you've arrived on the score.
51:34My first word, comedians dread to hear.
51:39My next new life in a revolving year.
51:43I'll repeat it.
51:45My first word, comedians dread to hear.
51:48My next new life in a revolving year.
51:52Offspring.
51:52Yes!
51:53Oh, well done, Miss Barry.
51:56Barry.
51:57Well done.
51:58Oh, yes, Miss Bennet.
52:02Cheers to you.
52:03What's next?
52:04Mandarin.
52:06Delicious.
52:06Miss Bennet, how lovely to see you.
52:08To Miss Bexter.
52:10Mr. Hayward, we're so pleased you made it.
52:12I had false intelligence.
52:14You were busy this evening.
52:15Well, we somehow managed to persuade Mr. Hayward away from his work.
52:19I have an important case.
52:21Oh, he has the terrible fortune of being the only lawyer in London
52:24who exclusively gets important cases.
52:26Oh.
52:27Do you excuse us, Mrs. G?
52:29Excuse me.
52:32Miss Bennet?
52:34Tom, Will.
52:37Mr. Ryder and I studied law together.
52:39Ah.
52:39Yes.
52:40Mr. Hayward is responsible for my untimely retirement in the field.
52:43Is that so, Mr. Ryder?
52:45Well, he fed me so many poems, I believe myself a deep, romantic soul.
52:50Too sensitive for the rigors of law.
52:52Seems like a heavy charge shall lay solely at the feet of poetry.
52:57Mary, how is the night of games going?
52:59Do we have any hope for making a late charge for the prize?
53:02Not unless you wish to bribe our host.
53:04Miss Bennet here is putting us all to shame.
53:06Oh, nonsense, Miss Ryder.
53:07You beat me to the punch.
53:09You see?
53:10Masterful words.
53:13I...
53:14Um...
53:15Please gather yourselves for the penultimate round.
53:19Mr. Ryder.
53:19What?
53:21I'm glad to see you're in better spirits, Miss Bennet.
53:26This evening has been something of a tonic, Mr. Hayward.
53:32Round three.
53:34Ready?
53:36Sunday.
53:37Yes.
53:38Appointing is back there.
53:42Thanks, Charles.
53:43Is it Doldroos?
53:45No, no, no.
53:45Forget I said anything.
53:47Mercury.
53:48Yes.
53:48Well done.
53:50Is it really?
53:51Well done.
53:52How remarkable.
53:56Come on.
53:57Anybody?
53:58Uh, Lighthouse.
53:59Yes.
54:00I've barely had a chance to think, let alone speak.
54:02I've never known a lack of thinking to prevent you from speaking.
54:07That is five points apiece for Miss Clark and Miss Bennet.
54:14Well done.
54:20The final round.
54:21The two players with the most points go head-to-head to crack one final riddle and decide the winner.
54:27The leaders come as no surprise, Miss Clark and Miss Bennet.
54:33You mean I didn't make it?
54:35Well, I'm astonished.
54:37Mrs. Gardiner, would you do the odds?
54:41To suffer my seconds, the doom of my first, and of all of my seconds, my whole is the worst.
55:03Heartache!
55:05Yes!
55:06Good Lord!
55:08She's Britain's finest mind!
55:14We declare we have a winner, London's newest arrival, but its fiercest competitor, Miss Mary Bennet.
55:28I'm very glad that we arrived in time to see you crowned, Miss Bennet.
55:34I wanted to say, Miss Bennet, you are a liar.
55:39Am I?
55:40You told me you were not much for games.
55:43Well, I can't catch.
55:48Miss Bennet, I've been meaning to invite you to tea since I hear, very sadly, you are leaving London.
55:53Miss Bennet, surely not?
55:54You can't deprive the game players of London your riddling talents.
55:59Round of applause for our winner, Miss Bennet.
56:03Well done.
56:08In that moment, I think I understood what my aunt was telling me, with the convoluted story about the bonnets.
56:19That quantity has a quality all of its own.
56:28Thank you so much.
56:30I never doubted you.
56:31Oh, no.
56:32This way.
56:34Thank you for coming.
56:35Mr. Garland, please.
56:39Mary, how you shone.
56:41You even caught the attention of the most eligible bachelor in town.
56:45I've been thinking.
56:47It seems a shame to leave London before I've given it a fair chance.
56:52I think I might like to stay a little while, if it's not too much burden.
56:56It's not a burden to us at all.
56:59We're delighted to have you with us.
57:04Oh, thank you so much for coming.
57:06Living in London was helping me to see that there could be more to life than just marriage or misery.
57:11Perhaps my aunt was right.
57:14Even the most hopeless of situations, the most hopeless of people, can, with kindness, change, little by little, over time.
57:30I was excited to discover who Mary Bennett might be.
57:34I feel so well.
