00:01I'm here to assist Miss Isabella Fowle.
00:03Cassandra, we weren't expecting you.
00:05Isabella must live with her sisters, promise me.
00:08There is no greater comfort in this world than a sister.
00:12You and I will always be sisters, even when I'm Mrs. Fowle.
00:17There are things I must say to you before I leave, in case I do not return.
00:20If you cannot marry me, you must feel free to marry another.
00:23I promise you, Tom, that I will never marry any other man but you.
00:29There are sure to be letters here that will cast up all manner of treasure.
00:32Everything one needs to know about Jane Austen is to be found within the pages of her novels.
00:38We have bad tidings to impart, Cassie.
01:24I don't know what it is.
01:26Sorry, ma'am. I was in the kitchen with Mrs. Isabel.
01:29And what of Miss Austen?
01:31Inner room, ma'am.
01:32What's she doing with her?
01:34Cassandra! There's work to be done.
01:40Mary, my dear.
01:42So there you are.
01:44So here I am.
01:46We weren't expecting you so soon,
01:48on account of tea with Mrs. Bunbury.
01:51This has been a falling out to do with you, Cassandra.
01:54Me?
01:54Mrs. Bunbury suggested that you arriving here
01:57without informing me first was a slur on my reputation.
02:00I mounted a most robust offence, but she was adamant.
02:03It's not the done thing, Cassandra.
02:06We're supposed to be sisters.
02:09I sincerely hope that relations with Mrs. Bunbury
02:13return to cordiality very soon.
02:17Dinah says you've made a start on clearing my dear sister's room.
02:19You know I wish to help?
02:20Did you find any letters from Jane?
02:23Not a single one.
02:26How odd.
02:28Considering how often Jane wrote, no matter.
02:31I find them myself.
02:33Perhaps you will be lucky where I was not.
02:38Mum, Mrs. Austen, do you wish me to make up Mrs. Fell's room for you?
02:42Yes, yes.
02:42Do it at once.
02:43So I may settle myself and get on with clearing.
02:46Task I do not relish given how close Eliza and I were.
02:52Now, I said.
03:01Let me pick it up, ma'am. You'll hurt yourself.
03:03There is little point in making more work than is absolutely necessary, Isabella.
03:07It was an accident.
03:09Ah, well, I'll leave you to it. I have work to do upstairs.
03:13Dinah, Dinah. As soon as you're ready.
03:17There's too much to do.
03:19I must ask Mr. Dundas for more time. I'm not ready. I won't be ready.
03:24Isabella, Isabella, I have been in your position and I know how daunting this task must appear.
03:32But I also know how uncertainty for your future can make it feel all the more onerous.
03:40That is why this question must be settled without delay.
03:44To that purpose, I wonder if we might make a visit today to see your sisters.
03:50We're still too busy here, Cassandra. Surely it can wait.
03:52Isabella, I am becoming increasingly concerned about what is to become of you.
03:57We cannot delay this decision any longer.
04:01We should do it. Of course. But not today. Tomorrow, perhaps.
04:11Besides, I have errands to run this morning.
04:15Very well.
04:16Well, in that case, perhaps I could start to clear the dining room.
04:21I could clear your mother's writing desk. Save your Aunt Mary the bother.
04:29I have loved this china since I was a child.
04:34Now it is all to go to my brother.
04:39All will be well, Isabella.
04:43I am sure of it.
05:05I am sure of it.
05:12I am sure of it.
05:17I am sure of it.
05:19I am sure of it.
05:19I am sure of it.
05:19Look, look, look.
05:20Your mom!
05:23Look at me!
05:24What does that say?
05:25Says Eliza.
05:42Eliza.
06:08Eliza.
06:08My dearest Eliza, your happy news has lightened our spirits here in Steventon.
06:14Mother and father cannot settle on whether you are to expect a boy or a girl.
06:19I shall let you know as soon as they decide.
06:24I wish I had more cheerful news of Cassie.
06:27In all this time, her grief has not abated.
06:33It is not in my sister's nature to reveal the depth of her suffering,
06:37for fear of burdening us with her sorrow.
06:42But I can see how much her heart still aches for Tom.
06:58Our brother Edward has invited her to stay at Godmisham Park, his estate in Kent.
07:06I will miss her dreadfully, though I am hopeful this change in surroundings
07:10might lift her from her melancholy.
07:15It may amuse you to learn that Edward's invitation did not extend to me.
07:21I fear I may be a little too eccentric for Kent society.
07:27It is regretful, as I could certainly cultivate a taste for their acres of rolling countryside,
07:32extensive library and well-stocked wine cellar.
07:42Perhaps Edward's wife, Elizabeth, fears that I would become rather too comfortable and outstay my welcome.
07:49While she is always unfailingly polite to us lowly Austens,
07:54I admit to some surprise she is willing to play host to one of us at all.
08:07Welcome to Godmisham, my dear sister.
08:10Edward.
08:11How well you look.
08:15Considering...
08:16I do hope your journey was a pleasant one.
08:17If anything can be pleasant at such a...
08:22a time.
08:24Thank you, my dear brother.
08:26Come.
08:31Now, I know you'll want to gather yourselves, but the children are quite wild with excitement.
08:36If we don't go straight to see them, I fear they will burst.
08:39They are the perfect tonic to stave off sad.
08:43Cannot wait to see them.
08:44Stand still, no fidgeting.
08:45Say hello, children.
08:46Look who's here.
08:47Look who's here.
08:48Who is it?
08:48Oh, Cassie!
08:50Look how you've all grown.
08:53Look who's here.
08:56Hello.
08:57Hello.
08:58Hello.
09:03I told you, Cass.
09:04Fit to burst.
09:08Hello.
09:09Someone of a more cynical disposition might wonder if Elizabeth has something to gain
09:14by having Aunt Cassie at Godmisham.
09:17This is not a thought that should ever cross my mind, Eliza.
09:21And certainly not one I would write down.
09:24Mum?
09:39What photo are we?
09:41Well, it would appear so.
09:45I may pay Mary Jane, Isabella's sister, a visit on my travels.
09:50Are you expected?
09:51Mrs. Mary Jane Dexter is not one for a surprise visit.
09:54I'm sure she will be more than happy to see me when she knows the purpose of my visit.
09:59Time is of the essence.
10:02We must make sure Isabella is taken care of.
10:29Mrs. Dexter?
10:33Mary Jane?
10:34It's me.
10:34Cassandra Austin.
10:35I've come to call on you.
10:42Mrs. Dexter?
10:42It's his name.
10:49You can never be too careful.
10:53Come into the parlour.

18:51Well done.
18:53Shall we attempt the 8 times table?
18:56I can try, miss.
18:57Very good.
19:011 times 8 is 8.
19:05Indeed.
19:062 times 8 is 16.
19:12I have just seen Miss Isabella with a pupil.
19:15She is quite the teacher.
19:17I had no idea.
19:19There's a lot to Miss Isabella that people don't know.
19:22I don't want to.
19:24She must have made her father proud,
19:26looking after him as she did.
19:29Well, if he was, ma'am, he never told her.
19:31Though he wasn't quiet about much else.
19:33He used to fill the house with his presents, did Reverend Phil?
19:36God rest him.
19:38Hmm.
19:39I had not seen him for some time,
19:40but I do recall he was the most exuberant of men.
19:44Well, if that's what you like to call it.
19:46There's many a day you'd have heard him shouting up in the village,
19:49and he used to bellow at Miss Isabella.
19:54Bellow?
19:55What do you mean, Dinah?
19:57Not a thing, ma'am.
19:59It's not for me to say anything.
20:00I must go and fetch the rest of the dinner service.
20:05Dinah, is Mrs. Austin still resting?
20:08She is that, ma'am.
20:09I wish to visit Miss Isabella's other sister.
20:13Where might I find Miss Beth's school?
20:17Behind the plaster of his arms.
20:43Oh,what's with my arms?
20:44Okay, Nancy.
20:46No problems.
20:46Go, Nancy.
20:47No problems.
20:48No problems.
20:51Excuse me, could you tell me where I might find Miss Fowle?
20:54Miss Winner-Borne's.
21:20Cassandra, there's illness here. You must leave at once.
21:22Miss Austen, you cannot be in here.
21:24What ails her?
21:26Diphtheria.
21:27It has spread through the village.
21:29But as for the rest, poverty, misfortune, nothing I can cure.
21:35Now I beg you, leave.
21:37It is not safe here.
21:38Come, Cassandra, I'll walk you to the end of the village.
21:50Beth, I must talk to you about Isabella's future.
21:53Isabella's future, that great conversation that never seems to end.
21:57Well, it has been discussed already.
22:00Endlessly.
22:01Though I try very hard to stay out of the Fowle family politics, as I have no appetite for meddling.
22:06Your sister is about to lose her home.
22:08Isabella is a grown woman.
22:11Surely she's more than capable of securing her own future, whatever that may be.
22:16I'm sorry, but I must get back.
22:18Mr. Liddardale needs me.
22:20Come visit again when the school reopens.
22:22I'd like to show you what I do there.
22:24Beth.
22:25Beth.
22:34Oh, where have you been?
22:37We've been so worried.
22:39It's weather.
22:40Isabella!
22:41Remove this dog from my presence at once.
22:45It appears your Aunt Mary has wasn't from her rest.
22:47Yes.
22:48She found my mother's room a little on the chilly side.
22:58Still no letters, Mary?
23:00Er, no.
23:01Strangely.
23:03This is my sister's writing desk.
23:07Well, throw these away.
23:08Eliza was always prone to a great deal of sentiment.
23:12How foolish to go out in this weather, Cassandra.
23:14She'd do better at your age.
23:18That dog is feral.
23:21He'll be the death of me.
23:22He must be banned from the house at once.
23:26Tea.
23:27Dinah.
23:28In the drawing room.
23:29Come on, Peter.
23:30Come on.
23:40Come on.
23:48Is that the only tiling we have?
23:51We have packed the rest on, Mary.
23:53At your instruction.
23:54Oh, well.
23:55I suppose I must endure it.
23:57Oh, my leg is bothering me again.
24:03That tea will be going cold before any of us have a chance to taste it.
24:07Isabella, do you have any more cushions?
24:09My leg should be more raised.
24:14Er, more raised?
24:15Yes.
24:17And a blanket, perhaps.
24:27Yes.
24:28And more locks on fire.
24:35Oh, so where have you been, anyway?
24:37To visit Miss Beth.
24:39There is sickness at the top of the village.
24:42She's up there helping Mr Liddardale.
24:44Ah, Beth and Mr Liddardale.
24:47So she's a nurse as well as a teacher.
24:50They did seem very familiar with one another.
24:52Oh, hmm.
24:52That is a surprise, is it not, Isabella?
24:56You must forgive me, Aunt Mary.
24:59I have much to be getting on with.
25:01Dinah, draw Miss Austen a hot bath.
25:03We don't want her getting sick.
25:11Beth Fowl has been nothing but a trial for this family.
25:16Fraternising with certain elements of society.
25:19Her father did not approve.
25:21She was tending to Mrs Winterbourne.
25:25You should see the conditions that poor woman lives in.
25:27Well, let us not dwell on Miss Fortune, if you.
25:32Go, go, go, take your bath.
25:35I'll rest some more and then I can set about taking charge.
25:39This family needs a firmer hand.
25:43It his arm is notaya.
25:51It feels like it doesn't matter.
25:51And it missed the ней to 2021.
25:51And it's not as fair as well.
25:54It happens soon.
25:58As we try to find the way to have medical assistance.
25:58We will have money to fund it.
25:59That's a very good night.
25:59It's a very good night.
26:01It's a reload night.
26:02That's a very good night.
26:05It was at first...
26:05What happened?
26:08Seriously?
26:09It was on my mind.
26:09We will have a great night.
26:09Here we go,
26:10Well, welcome back in the yard.
26:10Tell Moses is a one morning day ending.
26:25So you're in here now?
26:28I thought I heard a noise.
26:30I thought you were resting your leg.
26:32Oh, the fire in the drawing room is a misery.
26:36Have you found something?
26:39No.
26:40No.
26:42I just wanted to see if I could still hear the sea.
26:47Stories for children, Cassandra.
26:49You could never hear the sea.
26:53The sea sounds so calm today.
26:57I cannot wait to stand beside it in Sidmouth.
26:59I'll miss you when you're gone.
27:01It is only for a season.
27:03The Austens of Hampshire are embarking on the first of their great holiday schemes.
27:07You'll hardly recognize us when we return.
27:09Isabella will have grown so much by then.
27:14It is Brother James and Sister Mary.
27:18They've arrived.
27:19How lovely.
27:30Where's Anna?
27:34Anna!
27:39Anna!
27:47You've grown, Miss Anna.
27:50I've grown two whole shoe sizes.
27:52Two?
27:53Let's hope you stop growing soon or there'll be no shoes left in the country to fit you.
27:57Save giant's shoes.
28:01Hold it to your ear and listen.
28:04Can you hear the sea?
28:07I can hear it.
28:08I can hear it.
28:09What does the sea look like?
28:12Well,
28:15you will soon know.
28:17Because we three
28:19are going to the seaside.
28:21What a wonderful idea.
28:24What a splendid idea.
28:27I'm sure your father and I will manage without you, Anna.
28:39My dear Isabella, please try to pull yourself together.
28:43Mary.
28:45Mary, she has just lost her father.
28:46I am aware
28:47and it is sad
28:49but he was elderly
28:50and that is the natural order of things.
28:53It should be easier to bear
28:55but there is nothing written
28:57to tell each one of us
28:58how we must endure grief.
29:04Isabella,
29:05perhaps a few chapters
29:07from your Aunt Jane's novel
29:08may make a welcome distraction.
29:11Have you been reading aloud
29:12from Jane's novels?
29:14I thought your father
29:16had expressly forbidden that practice.
29:18As you have reminded me,
29:19Aunt Mary,
29:20my father is no longer here.
29:22Perhaps I could recite
29:24some of your Uncle James' poetry.
29:27That is kind
29:29but I find myself pleasantly surprised
29:32by how much I am enjoying persuasion.
29:34Anne Elliot is
29:35a most interesting character.
29:38A pleasant sort of person.
29:41Sensible.
29:43Not much drama about her.
29:46And I am most keen
29:47to hear the ending
29:47of her story
29:48before I am evicted
29:49from this house.
29:52Will she have
29:53her happy ending?
29:54Well,
29:55we must read on then
29:56and find out.
29:58Oh,
29:58I must know
29:59if she is to be married.
30:02Is that the only outcome
30:03that would be happy?
30:06It is.
30:06Oh,
30:08Isabella.
30:09There are so many
30:11other ways
30:12for women like us
30:13to find happiness.
30:15Are there?
30:16Read on.
30:18Please,
30:18Cassandra.
30:20From this time,
30:22Captain Wentworth
30:23and Anne Elliot
30:24were repeatedly
30:25in the same circle.
30:29They had no conversation
30:31together.
30:31No intercourse
30:33but what the commonest
30:34civility required.
30:36Once so much
30:37to each other.
30:39And now,
30:40nothing.
30:42Now they were
30:43as strangers.
30:44Nay,
30:45worse
30:46than strangers.
30:47For they could never
30:49become acquainted.
30:51Oh,
30:51Cassandra.
30:52Cassandra,
30:53your sister
30:54understood affairs
30:55of her heart
30:56better than anyone.
30:57Please tell me,
30:59did she
31:00ever know love?
31:02Writing
31:03was Jane's
31:04greatest love.
31:06She took
31:07great comfort
31:08from the heroes
31:09in her books
31:10but
31:10in life
31:12no man
31:13was ever worthy.
31:14Forgive me,
31:15my dear,
31:16but I think
31:16your memory
31:17fails here.
31:19Wasn't there
31:19a gentleman
31:20you both met
31:21in Sidmouth?
31:22The season
31:23you spent there,
31:24remember?
31:26And wasn't there
31:26even rivalry
31:27between you?
31:29Rivalry?
31:31In love?
31:35I have no idea
31:36what your Aunt Mary
31:37is talking about.
31:38If I recall,
31:40this gentleman
31:41seemed
31:41greatly attracted
31:43to Jane.
31:49Do excuse me,
31:50madam.
32:00How romantic.
32:02To fall in love
32:03by the sea.
32:08What a lovely confection.
32:12Your Aunt Jane
32:14would be
32:14very amused
32:16to find herself
32:17the heroine
32:18of a romantic
32:20triangle.
32:23I am afraid
32:25I find myself
32:25exceedingly tired
32:26and my head hurts.
32:29I do hope
32:31I have not
32:31caught a chill
32:32from today's
32:34wonderings.
32:35No, no,
32:36I can manage.
32:41Good night.
32:53Good night.
33:19Come along now.
33:22Jane!
33:24Jane!
33:25Shall we go?
33:28Here, let me tie it for you.
33:34Why do you only wear black, Aunt Cassie?
33:36Because.
33:38It becomes me.
33:41Your Aunt Jane is happy here.
33:44Let's just go shopping.
33:45Yes, please.
34:04Oh, look at the yellow one, Aunt Cassie.
34:06Do you see it?
34:07You all look so pretty in that.
34:09Far better than boring or black.
34:12It is very lovely, my dear.
34:18Oh, look at the blue, Auntie Cassie.
34:20It's the colour of the sea.
34:22Oh, it's like the yellow best because it's like the sun.
34:27It is indeed.
34:30Let's come back for some ribbons tomorrow.
34:32What a charming child.
34:37Do excuse me, madam.
34:46Be of mine pertinence, miss, but that is the most excellent shell.
34:51Yes, it is.
34:55Mama, are you ready?
34:57Thank you, my dear.
35:02Good day to you.
35:16Oh, I do like it here.
35:18Oh, I like it very much.
35:20So what have you been up to since the beach, my darlings?
35:22I hope you haven't been sitting in here when outside there's all manner of magnificence.
35:26Look, Aunt Jane, I found this.
35:28It's my collection.
35:30Oh, that's a beauty.
35:33Cassie, I think the sea is beginning to work its magic.
35:35I spy some colour in this landlubber's face.
35:38We'll make a pirate out of her yet.
35:41I think Aunt Cass is recovering some of her bloom, too, in spite of her best efforts.
35:47You look better.
35:49The nice man we met in the dress shop said it was a most excellent shell.
35:54Nice man.
35:55What nice man is this, pray tell?
35:59I'll go and check on Mother, and then we can make plans for the rest of the day.
36:05Is Grandmama poorly?
36:07No, my dear.
36:08Your Grandmama likes to take to her bed whenever we arrive anywhere new.
36:12She can test the mattress, meet the doctors, sample the wares of the local apothecary.
36:16It's her way of feeling at home.
36:18Like all the best invalids, she will outlive us all.
36:21Jane, that's not fair.
36:23Mama has been quite bilious since we arrived.
36:26Travel affects her.
36:34My bowels feel much steadier, Cassie.
36:38After what was the most frightful evacuation.
36:41Thanks be to the Lord.
36:43Lord, I think I will like this apothecary.
36:46He has a good feel for my system.
36:52Beautiful evening.
36:54Yes, quite beautiful.
36:58Mrs. George Austen.
37:00Mr. Henry Hobdate.
37:01My pleasure, ma'am.
37:02This is my eldest daughter, Miss Austen.
37:08Yes, I do believe I've made your daughter's acquaintance before.
37:12Miss Austen.
37:14Passing encounter in a shop, is all right?
37:17Indeed.
37:20And this is my other daughter, Miss Jane Austen.
37:24Delighted.
37:25Likewise.
37:27Have a lovely evening.
37:32Come.
37:34Father and Anna will be waiting.
37:36Impatiently, no doubt.
38:01I don't want to go all the way up there, Grandpa Park.
38:04You don't have to, my pet.
38:05We have every chance of discovering treasures amongst these rocks.
38:10Good morning, sir.
38:11Splendid day for fossil hunting, is it not?
38:13Indeed it is, sir.
38:16Now, my granddaughter has declared it the perfect day to unearth hidden treasures from the past.
38:22Well, she has come to the right place.
38:24Ladies.
38:25I'm not a lady, I'm far too young.
38:27My apologies.
38:30Now, you are a serious fossil hunter, are you not?
38:33I am.
38:34Well, I've already found some excellent specimens that you might be interested in.
38:38Let me furnish you with the tools of the trade.
38:41We are blessed to have such an expert with us.
38:44Ah, no expert.
38:45More of an enthusiastic amateur.
38:59Do you think I'll find a sea monster, Mr. Hobday?
39:03Well, perhaps not a monster, but a sea creature, certainly.
39:07Some sea creatures, fossils, are found at the top of mountains.
39:11Isn't that so?
39:11You see, many years ago, the Earth was almost completely covered by water.
39:15And then, over time, those waters receded to reveal the land beneath.
39:28Do you think I'll find a sea creature in there?
39:30You may well do.
39:54What am I looking at?
39:56It's the shape of a worm.
39:57Mr. Hobday says it must be thousands of years old.
40:00Many thousands, even.
40:01That is evidence of a creature that lived on Earth even before man.
40:06What are you drawing, my dear?
40:08My daughter is an artist of considerable talent.
40:10Papa.
40:11Oh, look, she's captured your likeness brilliantly.
40:15May I see?
40:16It is but a sketch.
40:19Now, young lady, let us leave Mr. Hobday in peace.
40:27Mr. Hobday is so clever, Aunt Jane.
40:30Is he now?
40:30He knows everything.
40:32Does he know?
40:33Aunt Cassie drew a sketch of him.
40:36Did she know?
40:38She did, and it was quite the likeness.
40:40Not just of him.
40:42I drew all three of them, while I was bored waiting for them to finish.
40:46And what was your opinion of Mr. Hobday, husband?
40:50Well, given we hardly know him, he struck me as unusually gifted in all that is agreeable.
40:58And now, Cassie, pray tell me, do you share your father's opinion?
41:06I must say, I do.
41:08So much so that I believe he would be an ideal suitor for Jane.
41:13For me?
41:14Yes, you.
41:15He's intelligent.
41:16He reads.
41:19He knows a great deal about the history of mankind.
41:22You must think of your future, Jane.
41:25It matters not a jot which of you, as long as it's one of you.
41:37I have no intention of taking tea with Mrs. Hobday, or anyone for that matter.
41:42Far too busy.
41:43I have a chapter I must finish.
41:47Well, what if he's there?
41:49What if he was there?
41:51Mr. Hobday.
41:53You...
41:55You might find him to your liking.
41:57I won't find him to my liking.
42:19One moment.
42:23How is your headache?
42:25I...
42:25You retired rather abruptly, and I thought I'd look in on you.
42:31Was it something I said?
42:33No.
42:34No, not at all.
42:36I can't even remember what we were talking about.
42:39How is Eliza's room?
42:40I'm cold.
42:42This house is like the grave now.
42:46Well, good night.
42:47Good night.
42:47Sleep well, my dear.
42:57Good night.
43:02Oh, Mrs. Austin, I do sympathize.
43:04I'm here for the sea air, but this wretched body of mine has not let me outdoors all week.
43:09How awful.
43:11Well, I was struck down by biliousness the minute we arrived.
43:17It'll be her evacuations next.
43:19Perhaps the floor will open up and swallow us.
43:21It would be a blessed relief.
43:23And what of Mr. Hobday?
43:25We lost my husband four years ago.
43:29I'm sorry to hear that.
43:32What did he ail from?
43:35A tumour.
43:36A tumour?
43:37We saw the best of men, but there was nothing to be done.
43:43I see you are studying our books.
43:45Do novels interest you both?
43:47Very much so.
43:48You have some of our favourites here.
43:50My sister and I never go anywhere without Sir Charles Granderson by our side.
43:54These are my son's books, and he reads to me every night.
43:57Perhaps that shall be our next book.
44:00Your son enjoys the works of the Madame Burnie and Hedgeworth.
44:03Cassie seemed to think he was of the more scientific persuasion.
44:07He's a scientist and an artist, a philosopher and a lover of the novel.
44:12I do believe he could take over the world if he were not so insistent on looking after his poor,
44:18infirm mother.
44:20Would you like some cake?
44:22Well, you did say he was perfect.
44:24I'm not sure my constitution would take the cake.
44:31That curate was handsome enough and single from what I hear,
44:35but his sermon was a touch...
44:38Terrifying, Mama.
44:40Mrs. Austin.
44:42Oh, well, this is a coincidence.
44:45And I must say, the happiest one.
44:49Mr. Hobday, Mrs. Hobday?
44:50Mrs. Austin.
44:52How did you find the sermon today, sir?
44:55Oh, I thought the young lad did well enough,
44:58considering his church was hardly full to brimming.
45:00That must explain his histrionics in the pulpit.
45:03Perhaps he's hoping his reputation for hysteria
45:06will travel and drum up more gullible trade from out of town.
45:09My dear Jane is entitled to preach in his own manner.
45:12My father is being polite.
45:14That sermon was not to our taste.
45:16It was vulgar and excessive.
45:17What did you think, Mr. Hobday?
45:20You cannot ask Mr. Hobday of his opinion
45:22when you've been so sure of your own.
45:24Do forgive my sister, Mr. Hobday.
45:27She's not usually quite so outspoken.
45:30I can assure you, she certainly is, Mr. Hobday.
45:33Well, luckily, I agree most comprehensively with Miss Austin.
45:36It was not to my taste either.
45:38How will you all find these signals?
45:39Oh.
45:40I like it very much.
45:41We are of the exact same opinion once again, it was seen.
45:44We must pick up the pace, girls.
45:46Our son Frank isn't drowning tonight.
45:48Did you know our brother has fought Napoleon
45:50single-handed, Mr. Hobday?
45:53I rather approve of your Mr. Hobday.
45:57He's not my Mr. Hobday.
46:00In fact, I thought you made rather the impression.
46:02Was I delightful?
46:04No, you were frightful.
46:05As frightful as I was to Mr. Blackhall?
46:08Nobody in the history of social intercourse
46:10has been as frightful to anyone
46:11as you were to Mr. Blackhall.
46:13So would you estimate this morning
46:14it's a half a Blackhall?
46:17I think I'd say more of a third.
46:22And he's certainly not my Mr. Hobday.
46:24Really?
46:24Then you have not noticed the way he looks at you.
46:27Nonsense.
46:27He ignores me at every opportunity.
46:30He pays everyone else far more attention.
46:32Papa, Anna, you.
46:33Precisely.
46:34And that is the evidence.
46:36I'm something of an expert in romantic matters
46:38and I'm quite sure I saw sparks flying between you.
46:42I think one even caught in my bonnet.
46:44Because of your charms, I might have gone up in smoke.
46:49Cass, how can you be so blind?
46:51You have caught him in your powers.
46:53I have no powers.
46:54Oh, you do, my darling.
46:56And that you are unaware of them
46:58makes you more powerful still.
47:01Mr. Hobday has fallen for you, Cassie.
47:05Well, then I'm sorry for him.
47:08I've lost the only man I could ever marry.
47:10I have no possible interest in Mr. Hobday.
47:16Where are you going?
47:18To right.
47:33Jane, what more have you said?
47:38Eliza, our Sidmouth adventure is proving far more entertaining
47:42than even I could have imagined.
47:44A secret plan is afoot
47:46and I am to be my young niece Anna's willing accomplice.
47:51The beneficiary of our surprise is to be Cassie, no less.
48:05Please don't like it.
48:18Thank you for doing it.
48:19Thank you, friend.
48:38You see your power now?
48:58What is it?
49:00Just waiting for someone.
49:13Miss Austin.
49:15What's the Hobday?
49:18Yellow suits you.
49:40I may have neglected to say
49:42how sorry I was to hear of your tragic loss.
49:47That is most kind, Mr. Hobday.
49:50I confess I...
49:53I was overwhelmed by grief at first.
49:57And now?
50:00Now...
50:03It is not so sharp.
50:12My dear Eliza,
50:14this comes to you with great urgency.
50:17I must share it with you,
50:19though it is not my secret to tell.
50:22My sister,
50:24my beloved sister Cassie,
50:27is in love.
50:42Cassandra!
50:43Cassandra!
50:44What are you doing down here at this hour?
50:48I heard a noise.
50:49It frightened the life out of me.
50:51I don't know how I got here.
50:53Are you ill?
50:54You must be ill.
50:55No, don't come near if you're ill.
50:57Please.
50:58Please just leave me here.
51:00No, if you're sure.
51:04Please.
51:06I'm sorry for that.
51:11Sorry.
51:20Goodbye.
51:23Amen.
51:25Bye.
51:26Bye.
51:41Miss Austen?
51:43Miss Austen?
51:44God save us, don't tell us she's gone and died on this.
51:47Cassandra?
51:48Isabella?
51:48Cassandra, it's me.
51:50Isabella?
51:50Is she all right?
51:51She's burning up.
51:53Is she saying for Miss Austen to deal?
51:56Miss Isabella?
51:57Oh, Mr. Litterdale is too busy.
51:59We'll nurse her ourselves.
52:01Miss Isabella?
52:01I know what I am doing, Dinah.
52:08A beautiful day, is it not?
52:10Quite beautiful.
52:12Then I wonder if you might consider walking out for me.
52:20Eliza's letters.
52:22Am I to understand you already have knowledge of their whereabouts?
52:25Why ever would you think that?
52:27If I were the future Mrs. Harris Bigwither, I should make room for as many sisters as possible.
52:33Are you an admirer of the seaside, Mr. Bigwither?
52:37Do you truly believe that you could one day love this man?
52:39When manna falls from heaven, it would be foolish to squander it.
