00:24The
00:25loss of my father was a leap into the unknown.
00:29Longborn was my childhood home, and although I had my struggles here, it was all I had
00:35ever known.
00:37From now on, would I be relying on the hospitality of my sisters, destined to spend my days as
00:45my 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. Bennett and I shared was a rare thing.
01:04I do not know that I shall ever eat again.
01:11Who is that?
01:12I do not know, Mama.
01:14What sort of person would impinge upon our hour of mourning so distastefully?
01:21Charlotte!
01:24I am afraid you find us in a state of some disarray.
01:29Understandably.
01:30We have been wanting to see you all since we heard the terrible news, but knew you would
01:35need time as a family to-
01:37To gather your things.
01:38Huh?
01:38Yourselves.
01:39Together.
01:44I want to make it quite clear that there's no rush for you to leave Longborn.
01:54Hm.
01:56Thank you, Mr. Collins.
01:58You are quite welcome to stay here with us for a full two weeks.
02:02Two weeks?
02:03Mrs. Bennett, there really is no hurry for you and Mary to leave.
02:06But I have arranged some help with the packing.
02:09Hmm.
02:09So you are not obliged to undertake such a difficult task during your hour of need?
02:15Hmm.
02:18Oh!
02:27Mama.
02:28You must come and stay with Mr. Beanley 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 sizable property with a large number of staff
02:46at my disposal.
02:47Ha ha!
02:49Ha ha!
02:50And Mary, you of course must come too.
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, I have received a letter from my brother and his wife in London.
03:13Their governess has been called back to Norfolk and they have asked me to send you to stay with them
03:19until a suitable replacement is found.
03:22Mary's going to be a governess.
03:23Oh, Mary.
03:24I would very much like to help.
03:26But, um, you will need me, Mama.
03:30I have already accepted their offer.
03:33They're sending a carriage.
03:35But, Mama, do not worry about me, Mary.
03:38I shall have Jane by my side.
03:41Oh!
03:44Hmm.
03:50Hmm.
03:52Hmm.
03:55Hmm.
03:56Hmm.
03:56Hmm.
03:56If my options in life really were marriage or misery, it looked very much as though I was destined for
04:03misery.
04:11Mrs. Bennet is indisposed.
04:15Oh.
04:17Of course.
04:19Thank you, Hill.
04:21Hmm.
04:26Um.
04:30What if the children don't like me?
04:32Why should they not like you?
04:34You're a perfectly likable soul.
04:39I 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.
04:52Meet 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.
05:00I'm not.
05:01No.
05:02I'm just, um...
05:03I'm not.
05:07That's my daughter.
05:09No.
05:16Oh, no.
05:18No.
05:19No.
05:21No, no, no.
05:23No.
05:24No.
05:25No.
05:29No.
05:30No.
05:31Let's go.
06:02Let's go.
06:31Let's go.
06:34Oh!
06:34Mary!
06:35Welcome!
06:36I am sorry.
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!
06:42Come in!
06:44It's right at the top of the house, so you won't be disturbed by the children.
06:49Come in.
06:51Come in.
07:08How's your mother?
07:10She'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, so if you don't mind that,
07:38you'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!
08:06The Andes.
08:19Oh!
08:21That's good.
08:22Come on.
08:23Not so good.
08:24Mary, won't you join us for breakfast?
08:26Oh, no, no.
08:27Thank you, sir.
08:28I'm not at all hungry this morning.
08:30I shall see the children upstairs.
08:44Marianne, would you like to start?
08:47Miss Bennet, it's a pleasure to meet you.
08:50I am Marianne Gardner, and I'm 11 years old.
08:54It's my pleasure to meet you too, Miss Marianne.
08:59George!
09:02Yes, thank you, George.
09:05And this is...
09:10This is Rebecca.
09:12Thank you, Miss Rebecca.
09:15And if an organised body is not, in the situation and circumstances,
09:23best adapted to its sustenance and propagation,
09:27then in conceiving an indefinite variety among the individuals of that species,
09:33we must be assured that, on the one hand, those which depart most from the best adapted constitution will be
09:42the most liable to perish.
09:47You'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?
10:05America.
10:06Ah, yes, America.
10:09Uh...
10:13Where has Rebecca gone?
10:15There were very clearly three of you in this room when I began looking at the globe, and now there
10:19are two of you.
10:20She vanished.
10:22She's a magician.
10:24Well, magic is nothing but illusion and trickery.
10:26Oh.
10:27Now where could she be?
10:30Oh!
10:31Tom, you'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...
10:39You must be...
10:41You must be...
10:41Miss Bennet.
10:42I...
10:42I must be.
10:44Oh, yes.
10:45I am.
10:46Er...
10:46Tom Hayward.
10:48Oh.
10:48Friend of the family.
10:55Aren't there normally three of you?
10:57There were three, certainly.
10:59But...
11:00I was looking at...
11:02America.
11:03And 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?
11:20Well, I...
11:21I wasn't sure.
11:22I thought perhaps mice like toy trunks.
11:25No, you see, in there, they cannot get to their cheese.
11:29Actually, it's a fallacy that mice like cheese.
11:33Of course.
11:34They're much more partial to root vegetables and grains.
11:38Yes.
11:38Indeed.
11:39I'm a rabbit.
11:44Mr...
11:45Hayward?
11:47Mr Hayward.
11:48I am keeping a rabbit in the toy trunk because...
11:54I...
11:56Because rabbits are not at all social creatures.
11:59Exactly.
12:00Yes, they are.
12:01Oh.
12:05Well, why exactly do you have a new governess?
12:09Is it that you keep eating, though?
12:14Um...
12:17Tom helped Edward with the legal matter some years ago,
12:20and 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?
12:33Well, as discussed during the lesson,
12:37they're often associated with Jacobinism.
12:40But my point really was...
12:41Sounds like you had a very interesting first day, Miss Bennet.
12:45Well, uh...
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, I...
12:57You 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.
13:15George 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, Marianne.
13:44Hello!
13:45Well done.
13:46Bravo.
13:47Yours are better.
13:48Oh!
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?
14:04Yes!
14:04Yes!
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, er, no.
14:21I'm not, I'm not good at games.
14:22Oh!
14:22That doesn't matter at all.
14:25Yes.
14:27Well, you couldn't possibly be as ungainly as I am.
14:31Really, I'd only spoil it.
14:38George.
14:39Ready?
14:41Oh!
14:43Oh!
14:49Yes, Dom.
14:50Mr. Gardner.
14:51Oh!
14:53Oh!
14:54Oh!
15:11Yes?
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.
15:24Oh!
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.
15:48I thought perhaps tomorrow we could go to the haberdashers and you could pick out some fabrics.
15:52I do not really care for dresses.
15:55Well, that's a shame, but 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 marriage.
16:29It most certainly is.
16:41What 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 color to work with my complexion.
16:54Really?
16:55Well, perhaps your complexions change because I can see many colors here which would work well on you.
17:00But the most important thing being is that you choose fabrics that you truly like.
17:06But Mother says that Mother isn't here.
17:13Mr. Gardner?
17:14Oh.
17:15Miss Bennet?
17:16To home!
17:18Mr. Hayward, have you brought your jacket to be mended?
17:21I 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.
17:32Well, I shall be honest and say that my experience of picking dress fabric is limited, to say the least.
17:38But I shall try.
17:41Have you seen the names of these colors?
17:44We've got Dust of Ruins, Corbeau, Flamme de Bonche, anyone?
17:52I think I shall take the Drake's Neck with a splash of Nunkey.
17:57Anyone for Gabouche?
17:58Well, I mean, that's just yellow, that one.
18:01Yes.
18:02Yes.
18:05I think my advice would be to choose the colors 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 worked 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, and 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?
19:03Hmm.
19:06Do 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.
19:17But...
19:18I like it.
19:20Then I think you should please yourself and not worry what others may think.
19:25You've done a very good job.
19:27Hmm.
19:27Now.
19:28I can't even see you.
19:55Uh...
19:56Ah...
19:56Oh.
19:56Oh, oh!
19:57Woo!
19:58Oh!
19:58Oh, my gosh!
20:01The gardeners are out. They're buying shoes for the children.
20:07Would you like to play graces?
20:11Well, yes. Thank you.
20:19Ready? Yes.
20:25Oh!
20:29I did it.
20:30You did? Natural.
20:32Beginner's luck.
20:34Right, um...
20:36Ready?
20:37Uh, um...
20:40One moment.
20:41Oh.
21:13Oh, come on!
21:19Oh.
21:25Oh, come on!
21:27Oh!
21:28Oh, erm...
21:29Er...
21:30Er...
21:30Er...
21:31That's...
21:32That's probably enough, Graces, for today.
21:36Oh, yes, er...
21:39I 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, er...
21:55Well, Cowper.
21:56Er...
21:57Byron.
21:58Even some Dryden.
21:59But, erm...
22:00Well, it seems to me that it's all just...
22:03Words.
22:05What were you expecting?
22:08Are you a scholar, sir?
22:11Er...
22:11No.
22:12I'm a barrister.
22:13Junior.
22:14And though the law is my business, poetry is my passion.
22:19What do you like to read?
22:22Er...
22:22Er...works of non-fiction.
22:23Really?
22:24Um...
22:24Histories and, er...
22:26And 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?
22:41Well...
22:41Some poems are mercifully short.
22:46Well, now that you have thrown down the gauntlet,
22:50I will not rest until you have appreciated the merit of poetry.
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...
23:11Yes.
23:12Yes.
23:13Er...
23:13Well...
23:14Yes.
23:15Er...
23:16Yes.
23:17Yes.
23:18Er...
23:30Well...
23:42And we'll need more scallops.
23:44Mrs Sholly will claim she couldn't possibly before helping herself to seven.
23:49It must 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.
24:28No!
24:30No!
24:36Yes.
24:40I think it's all right.
24:42Yes.
24:42Of course, it's a milk.
24:49No!
24:49Yes!
24:51No, not stores.
24:52Yes!
24:53Yes!
24:53Yes!
24:54Yes!
25:02I 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.
25:24Fanshawe, Mr Fanshawe.
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, 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?
26:37London, 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.
27:30We've already met.
27:32Miss Bennet?
27:32Oh, of course, you must have.
27:35Oh, I see you went for the Pomona trim.
27:39It's 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.
27:53Mr. May.
27:54Mr. 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, Becca.
28:06Oh, please excuse us.
28:08Come, Mary. It will 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,
28:31at least I had someone to dance with.
28:35While we are going to dance with.
28:43It will be fun, Luke.
28:49Every Halloween!
28:51Maybe there you might have a couple of things'.
28:51I imitated and met him but he's so why,
28:51I hope that even if there is anything I'll necessarily find,
28:51you can do nothing for as I could never really evangelize.
28:51Good night and let's play circle.
28:52Good night and said,
28:53Well,
28:55as soon as is on in your contre December,
28:55you have to make voir
28:55But I'm really who would have to be fun.
29:06THE END
29:54THE END
30:03Taken 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
30:24In 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
30:56She has so little confidence
30:58Yes
30:58It can't have been easy growing up in the shadow of her sisters
31:03Found it
31:03Oh, there it is
31:06Well, I'm happy she's with us
31:07She has an interesting and memorable mind
31:14Oh, it's Bennett
31:17Mr Haywood
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
31:36Well, 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
32:01Oh, it's a relief to be without
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
32:24Oh, Mary!
32:26Tom, how lovely to see you!
32:28Quietly, my dear
32:29You'll summon the children who I fear have 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
33:01I fear your correspondence has not been reaching me
33:05I 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, you're 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 the rude shopkeeper
34:22I understand that she is
34:23Yes
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
36:06Miss Bennet
36:07Thank you for humoring me
36:09Are 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
36:20Will 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, I am afraid that my petitions for good weather
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
36:54Yes
37:10That's magical
37:12Wow
37:19Please forgive the theatrics
37:21I had given Miss Bennet
37:23The impossible task of understanding poetry
37:26Without any real sense of how to feel it
37:31Sometimes
37:32With poetry
37:34The more I think
37:36The less I understand
37:45Earth
37:46Earth
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 in its majesty
37:58This city
38:00This city
38:00Doth
38:01Like a garment
38:03Wear the beauty of the morning
38:07Silent
38:07Bare
38:11Ships
38:38Ships
38:39A sore eye
38:40Never felt
38:40A calm
38:42So deep
38:44The river
38:45Glideth at his own sweet will
38:50Dear God
38:51The very houses seem asleep
38:56And all that mighty heart
38:58Is lying still
39:11Well done Tom
39:12A moving rendition
39:15Tom
39:15I confess
39:16I felt entirely transported
39:18By the force of your words
39:20And what a beautiful place
39:22Our wisteria never flowers like this
39:26Yes
39:26Your ability to kill our plants
39:28Seems to be second to none
39:29Come
39:30Let's take a turn
39:31Indeed
39:34This place is magical
39:38Yes
39:39It is
39:45Well
39:48Miss Bennet
39:52How do you feel
39:53I
39:56Well
39:58For once I have nothing to say
40:01I am sorry to hear that
40:02No I
40:03No I wish to say something
40:07Inspiring
40:08But I
40:10Do not know how
40:13You have such
40:15Such varied ways
40:16To express your feelings
40:18Mine feel
40:20Frozen
40:20Or
40:23Feeble
40:23Or
40:26Entirely unknowable
40:28I do not know
40:29Miss Bennet
40:31Well I use the words of others
40:32To
40:34Puzzle through things
40:35I do not understand
40:37But I
40:38I do not believe
40:39That you are truly a stranger
40:40To strong emotions
40:51Forgive me
40:53Oh
40:55Sorry Miss Bennet
40:56I
40:56It was just a petal
40:58Mr Hayward
40:59I
41:00I think I must leave London
41:03Well
41:04You have only just arrived
41:05It is no great event
41:06My
41:07My mother
41:08Needs a companion
41:09I see
41:10And
41:10Well you will likely be
41:13Very busy
41:13Soon
41:14What with
41:15Social engagements
41:16And
41:19Miss Baxter
41:22I
41:22I
41:23I
41:23I'm sure you'll scarcely have time to notice
41:24I am gone
41:27Well I had hoped that this would restore your spirit
41:29Oh indeed
41:30It did
41:32It did
41:32Thank you
41:34I shall never forget it
41:50I shall travel to Pemberley on the 18th
41:53Good heavens
41:55Mary this is quite unexpected
41:57Well is anything the matter?
41:59My mother needs me
42:01Is my sister bored?
42:04I know that she's more likely than anyone in England to summon the troops on account of her loneliness
42:08But must you answer the call?
42:12I think I must
42:14Well we so enjoy having you here
42:17And the children will be disappointed
42:19Yes it is kind of you to say
42:23It is the truth
42:28I must plan today's lessons
42:39Dearest mother
42:40Although my time in London has been
42:44Enlightening
42:44Enlightening
42:45I will be by your side for your summer at Pemberley
42:50As requested
42:53I am grateful for the generosity extended by my aunt and uncle
42:56But as you rightly point out
42:59I do not wish to burn them
43:01And it will of course be an honour
43:05To look after your new pup
43:29Do come in
43:46There was an old woman who lived in a shoe
43:53She had so many children she didn't know what to do
43:57She gave them some broth
43:58Without any bread
44:00And she whipped them all soundly and put them to bed
44:04That poem started very well
44:06And ended very badly
44:09A good observation Miss Marianne
44:11Why didn't she just move into a boot when the children got too many?
44:14Fine suggestion Miss Rebecca
44:16It's a glorious revolution all finished then Miss Bennet
44:20This week
44:21We will write and perform a poem instead
44:23Yes
44:26I want to do a poem about myself
44:28Because I'm quite interested
44:30I'll do typhoid
44:32Or frogs
44:33Disgusting
44:37Miss Marianne
44:38Love
44:50The eye it cannot choose but see
44:53We cannot bid the ear be still
44:57Our bodies feel where they be
45:02Against or with our will
45:11A big green frog sat on a log
45:14The frog was quite full
45:16It had eaten ten flies
45:20Two slugs
45:21One worm
45:22And three lily pad pies
45:28Miss Bennet
45:29You were obviously inspired by our morning poetry reading
45:33Oh
45:34I was
45:35No I am
45:36Yes
45:37I am
45:37Oh no
45:38What is it Miss Rebecca?
45:41I had a prop and I forgot to use it
45:45Oh
45:47Well fear not
45:48A prop is a cheap trick that diminishes the power of words
45:53Indeed
45:57Who's next?
46:02I would be sad to leave London
46:05It was the first time I had ever felt a sense of belonging
46:11Oh there you are
46:12I wanted to say thank you for such a wonderful day
46:17The children were being consolable about you leaving
46:20Marianne is stitching you a cushion
46:22With an inspirational Latin phrase I believe
46:26Oh yes
46:26It's Mori Quam Fodari
46:29Death before dishonour
46:31Goodness
46:32How exciting
46:34We shall miss you Mary
46:36I think we both know I'm not well suited to London's liveliness
46:43Oh Mary
46:45You've barely given it a chance
46:49Things change
46:51People
46:54Situations
46:56Over time
47:01May I venture something on that subject?
47:06The other day
47:08I went to buy a bonnet
47:10And in the first shop I went into
47:13Found a stunning bonnet
47:14An elegant blue
47:16Quite lovely on me if I dare say such a thing
47:19When I went to purchase it
47:23It had been reserved for someone else
47:27I went into another shop
47:29And found not four other bonnets I like just as much
47:33And in the end
47:36One a shade of dusky pink that suited me even more
47:44Do you see what I'm saying?
47:49Blue is not your colour?
47:52No I'm saying that London has such a variety of choices
47:55And such quantity too
47:57You may enjoy the first thing you see well enough
48:01But often
48:02Something more exciting will come along
48:07Anyway
48:07I just thought I'd let you know
48:09Well um
48:11Yes thank you for that
48:12It was very
48:15Interesting
48:15Oh I was meaning to tell you
48:18We have decided to host a little entertainment tomorrow
48:21A night of games
48:23Oh dear
48:24What sort of games?
48:25No catching
48:26Word games
48:27Riddles and such
48:29And very pleasant company
48:30Company I know
48:32Or
48:32New company
48:34All new
48:36And very friendly
48:38We desperately desire that you remember London fondly
48:43This may be your final event with us before you leave
48:50I resolved not to send the letter to mother just yet
48:55It would be a shame to leave before the weekend
49:03Oh dear
49:06Theo
49:09Thank you
49:12Thank you
49:20Thank you
49:21Thank you
49:23Thank you
49:23Thank you
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?
49:45Yes, of course.
49:47Noble defender of the punch.
49:49I surrender my post.
49:54And what brings you here?
49:55The word games or the company?
49:57I like words.
49:59I'm not much for games.
50:01Ah, and it is the company you've come for.
50:05Miss...
50:05Bennett. Mary Bennett.
50:08William Ryder.
50:10And where have you come from, Miss Bennett?
50:12Surely I would have remembered seeing you near Punchbowls across London.
50:17I am...
50:19new in town.
50:20Well, I, for one, am always pleased to see a new face.
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.
50:42And now, the quickfire round.
50:46Two words, one answer.
50:49Counterfeit agony.
50:50Counterfeit agony.
50:52A mean trick?
50:54My brain is in agony.
50:55It isn't counterfeit.
50:56It is quite real.
50:57Champ.
50:58Champ.
50:59Ryder.
50:59Champ.
51:00Champ.
51:01Champ.
51:01Champ.
51:01Why, 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.
51:14Judy'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 school.
51:34My first to word, comedians dread to hear, my next new life in a revolving year.
51:43I'll repeat it.
51:45My first to word, comedians dread to hear, my next new life in a revolving year.
51:52Offspring.
51:53Yes.
51:53Oh, well done, Miss Barry.
51:56Barry.
51:57Well done.
51:58Bravo.
51:59Oh, yes, Miss Bennet.
52:02Cheers to you.
52:03What's next?
52:04Mandarin.
52:06Delicious.
52:06Miss Bennet.
52:07How lovely to see you.
52:08Too, Miss Baxter.
52:10Mr. Hayward.
52:11We'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 who exclusively gets important cases.
52:28Do excuse us.
52:29Mrs. Dream.
52:30Excuse me.
52:32Miss Bennet.
52:34Tom.
52:35Will.
52:37Mr. Ryder and I studied law together.
52:39Ah.
52:39Yes.
52:40Mr. Hayward is responsible for my untimely retirement in the field.
52:44Is 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.
52:55What?
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, Mr. Ryder.
53:07You beat me to the punch.
53:09You see?
53:11Masterful words.
53:13I...
53:14Um...
53:15Please gather yourselves for the penultimate round.
53:19Mr. Ryder.
53:20What?
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.
53:38Appoint your miss master.
53:42Thanks, Charles.
53:43Is it doll troops?
53:45No, no, no.
53:46Forget 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.
54:03I'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
54:27the winner.
54:28The leaders come as no surprise.
54:29Miss Clark.
54:31Miss Bennet.
54:32And Miss Bennet.
54:33You mean I didn't make it?
54:35I'm astonished.
54:37Mrs. Gardiner, would you do the odds?
54:41To suffer my seconds, the doom of my first.
54:45And of all of my seconds, my hole is the worst.
55:03Heartache!
55:05Yes!
55:07Good Lord!
55:08She's Britain's finest mind!
55:14We declare we have a winner, London's newest arrival, but its fiercest competitor, Miss
55:21Mary 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
55:52London.
55:53Miss Bennet, surely not.
55:54You can't deprive the game players of London your, your riddling talents.
55:59Round of applause for our winner, Miss Bennet.
56:03Well done.
56:04Bravo, bravo, bravo, bravo.
56:08In that moment, I think I understood what my aunt was telling me with the convoluted story
56:14about the bonnets, that quantity has a quality all of its own.
56:24Thank you so much.
56:29I never doubted you.
56:31Well done.
56:32Oh, good speed.
56:33This way.
56:34Thank you for coming.
56:35Mr. Garland, please.
56:37Have a wonderful day.
56:38Mary, how you shone.
56:42You even caught the attention of the most eligible bachelor in town.
56:45I, I've been thinking, um, it seems a shame to leave London before I've, you know, given
56:51it 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
57:10or misery.
57:12Perhaps my aunt was right.
57:15Even the most hopeless of situations, the most hopeless of people, can, with kindness,
57:24change, little by little, over time.
57:30I was excited to discover who Mary Bennet might be.
57:36You have to
57:37I'll be рад to you soon.
57:38Bye.
