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.
00:59We have bad tidings to impart, Emmett, for the love of a lady.
01:27We have bad tidings to let her know about her.
01:27She is responsible for taking the time.
01:28with Miss Isabel. And what of Miss Austen? In a room. What's she doing with her? Cassandra!
01:35There's work to be done. Mary, my dear. So there you are. So here I am. We weren't expecting
01:47you so soon, on account of tea with Mrs. Bunbury. Yes, there's been a falling out to do with
01:52you, Cassandra. Me? Mrs. Bunbury suggested that you arriving here without informing me
01:57first was a slur on my reputation. I mounted a most robust offence, but she was adamant.
02:03It's not the dumb thing, Cassandra. We're supposed to be sisters. Well, I sincerely hope that
02:11relations with Mrs. Bunbury return to cordiality very soon. Hmm. Dinah says you've made a start
02:18on clearing my dear sister's room. You know I wish to help? Did you find any letters from
02:22Jane? Not a single one. How odd, considering how often Jane wrote. No matter. I find them
02:32myself. Perhaps you will be lucky where I was not. Mum, Mrs. Austen, do you wish me to make
02:40up Mrs. Fell's room for you? Yes, yes. Do it at once, so I may settle myself and get on
02:45the clearing. Task I do not relish, given how close Eliza and I were. Now, I said. Hmm.
02:56Ah! Ah! Ah! Let me pick it up, ma'am. You'll hurt yourself. There is little point in making
03:04more work than is absolutely necessary, Isabella. It was an accident. Ah, well, I'll leave you to
03:10it. I have work to do upstairs. Dinah, Dinah, as soon as you're ready. There's too much
03:18to do. I must ask Mr. Dundas for more time. I'm not ready. I won't be ready. Isabella,
03:25Isabella, I have been in your position and I know how daunting this task must appear. But
03:33I also know how uncertainty for your future can make it feel all the more onerous. That
03:40is why this question must be settled without delay. To that purpose, I wonder if we might
03:47make a visit today to see your sisters. We're still too busy here, Cassandra. Surely it can
03:52wait. Isabella, I am becoming increasingly concerned about what is to become of you. We cannot delay
03:58this decision any longer. We should do it. Of course. But, ah, but not today. Ah, tomorrow,
04:09perhaps. Besides, I have errands to run this morning. Very well. Well, in that case, perhaps
04:18I could start to clear the dining room. I could clear your mother's writing desk. Save your Aunt
04:25Mary the bother. Thank you. I have loved this china since I was a child. Now it is all to
04:35go to my brother. All will be well, Isabella. I am sure of it.
04:46What?
05:01I am truly a friend. I am truly a friend. I am truly a friend. I am truly an
05:23What does that say?
05:25It says Eliza.
05:42Eliza.
06:08Eliza.
06:08My dearest Eliza, your happy news has lightened our spirits
06:12here 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, for fear of burdening
06:39us with her sorrow.
06:42I 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 might lift her from
07:11her 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
07:47my welcome.
07:49While she is always unfailingly polite to us lonely Austens, I admit to some surprise she
07:56is willing to play host to one of us at all.
08:07Welcome to Godmisham.
08:09My dear sister.
08:10Edward.
08:11How well you look.
08:14Considering, um, I do hope your journey was a pleasant one.
08:17If, if, if anything can be pleasant at such a, a 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.
08:35If we don't go straight to see them, I fear they will burst.
08:39They are the perfect tonic to stave off sad.
08:43I cannot wait to see them.
08:44Stand still.
08:44No 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.
08:56Hello.
08:56There you are.
08:57Hello.
09:02I told you Cass, fit to burst.
09:09Someone of a more cynical disposition might wonder if Elizabeth has something to gain
09:14by having Aunt Cassie at Godmersham.
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.
09:49Are you expected?
09:51Mrs. Mirajin 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.
10:11Must be now.
10:29Who is it?
10:31Mrs. Dexter?
10:33Mary Jane, it's me, Cassandra Austin.
10:36I've come to call on you.
10:42It's him, him.
10:49You can never be too careful.
10:53Come into the parlour.
11:03What interesting objects.
11:07What you see here are the joys of the empire.
11:11Halcyon days.
11:15Halcyon.
11:18Now, sit down.
11:26Isabella's been looking after you, has she?
11:28Oh, yes.
11:31Impeccably.
11:34She's got the heart of an ox, Isabella.
11:37Braver than you think.
11:41Although she wouldn't survive for one single day on her own, so it's a good thing she's come to live
11:45with me.
11:46So it's settled, then?
11:49Of course it's settled.
11:50Isn't that why you're here, to make sure?
11:53Yes, it's just that Isabella doesn't seem to know this.
11:57What you have to know about my sister is this.
12:00She thinks she knows her own mind, but she doesn't.
12:08Tiffin?
12:11I...
12:24Miss Fowl.
12:25Mr. Lydderdale.
12:26I must offer you my apologies.
12:29I have been tardy in calling to inquire how you are faring since.
12:32I am perfectly well, thank you.
12:35In truth, I have been busy preparing the vicarage for the new vicar.
12:40I am sure that must be a most difficult task.
12:44Have you secured...
12:48new lodgings?
12:49Not yet.
12:52But it is all in hand.
12:54I am delighted to hear that.
12:57There is nothing more unsettling than insecurity.
13:01Indeed.
13:05I wish you well.
13:07Truly.
13:09That is most kind.
13:11Now, if you'll forgive me, I have an errand to run.
13:22Dearest Eliza, I am happy to report that Cassie indulges my frequent demands for news from Godmersham,
13:29and writes often.
13:31Though I hear suspiciously little about the delights and amusements of the Kent countryside,
13:36and a great deal more about spillikins with the tiny inhabitants of the nursery.
13:49Oh, Elizabeth, there you are.
13:52I wondered if I might take a short turn around the garden while the baby's asleep.
13:55Oh, my dear, no.
13:58It's too warm outside. You're in the best place up here.
14:02Besides, I cannot play that game for my life.
14:06Oh, look how they adore you.
14:09I cannot tell you how much it suits me to have you here.
14:13Things have turned out so well, have they not?
14:18I mean...
14:20I did not mean...
14:21I know what you mean, my dear.
14:23I'm most grateful to be here.
14:25Good.
14:27Now, I think I might have a little rest before my family arrive for dinner.
14:35Oh, look. I did it.
14:37Hmm.
14:38It's your turn, I'm a taxi.
14:47Edward?
14:48Where are you going?
14:50We have guests for dinner.
14:51Just the stables to cast my eyes over the new filly. I won't be long.
14:54Well, I'm afraid the filly will have to wait.
14:56My mother will be here before we know it, and she would not be happy if a horse has taken
15:00precedence.
15:02No. No, that would not do.
15:04Have you told Cassie what time she's expected downstairs?
15:06Oh, my dearest. I don't think it would be correct for Cassie to join us.
15:11It's a family dinner, and Cassie is family after all.
15:14She is still in mourning, Edward.
15:17It would not be appropriate for her to attend a happy party.
15:21Cook will send something up on a train.
15:28Eliza, I must prevail upon you for assistance in a matter of great urgency.
15:34Cassie is trapped in the nursery at Godmisham.
15:37My good and dutiful sister does not complain, but it is clear to me that the situation is most serious.
15:47Please do not think the indelicate if I suggest the timing is to our advantage.
15:52I beg you, Eliza.
15:54Write to Cassie and request her presence at your confinement.
15:58Elizabeth will not deny a mother in need, and as for Edward, he will do as he is bidden.
16:05We cannot allow our beloved Cassie to convince herself that her life's sole value lies in the role of dependable
16:12spinster aunt.
16:15Please write as soon as you are able.
16:17I have an inkling that our intervention will be a relief to her.
16:29Ava says.
16:31Agh!
16:32Aghh!
16:34Aghh!
16:35Agh!
16:36Agh!
16:38Agh!
16:40Agh!
16:42Agh!
16:42Hush, now.
16:43Agh!
16:44The baby will be here soon.
16:45Agh!
16:46Influence sound.
16:46Ash!
16:47Sh!
16:48Agh!
16:48She needs laudanum.
17:04Eliza?
17:05She's sleeping, Fuller. She's exhausted.
17:09Do you have a girl?
17:11The sweetest, most beloved little girl.
17:16Another girl?
17:18No!
17:30My dearest Eliza,
17:32we are delighted to hear you are safely delivered
17:35and baby Isabella is thriving.
17:45Isabella is a splendid name.
17:48She can only grow up to be a heroine or a Spanish queen,
17:52though I would not wish that fate upon her.
17:55No.
17:56Her adventures will be magnificent
17:58and not solely confined to the great county of Berkshire.
18:02Look, Isabella.
18:05Look, Isabella.
18:06Your dear, sweet Uncle Tom's tree.
18:12His and mine.
18:13I would hope, be people.
18:29So, what do we want?
18:30He's happy.
18:30He's very happy.
18:36This is my favourite mother-in-law.
18:41I'm happy for this.
18:43So, you've got to make a difference.
18:43Mm-hmm.
18:44Seven times seven is...
18:49Rise and shine.
18:5049.
18:51Well done.
18:53Shall we attempt the eight times table?
18:56I can try, miss.
18:57Very good.
19:02One times eight is...
19:05Eight.
19:05Indeed.
19:07Two times eight is...
19:0916.
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 was to fill the house with his presents, did Reverend Phil?
19:36God rest him.
19:38Mm.
19:38I 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.
20:04Uh, Dinah, is Mrs. Austin still resting?
20:08She is, that ma'am.
20:10I wish to visit Miss Isabella's other sister.
20:13Where might I find Miss Beth's school?
20:17Behind the plaster of his arms.
20:18Miss B онkiss!
20:35No, I don't know.
20:37No, I don't know.
20:44Go, Bill, and get back to him.
20:45No, yet I'll meet him.
20:47No, I don't know.
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.
21:58Well, 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 know 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.
23:31Come on.
23:32Come on.
23:33Come on.
23:35Come on.
23:37Come 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, that 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, 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, fraternising with certain elements of society.
25:19Her father did not approve.
25:21She was tending to Mrs Winterbourne.
25:24You should see the conditions that poor woman lives in.
25:27Well, let us not dwell on Miss Fortune.
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.
25:40I'll rest some more and then I'll rest some more and then I'll rest some more and then.
25:42Let's go.
26:11Sandra!
26:18Sandra!
26:26So 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.
27:02The Austens of Hampshire are embarking on the first of their great holiday schemes.
27:07You'll hardly recognize us when we return.
27:10Isabella 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?
27:33Anna?
27:38Anna?
27:41Anna?
27:41Oh, Jane.
27:44We've missed you.
27:46Let's go upstairs.
27:48You'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 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 sooner
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,
28:40please try
28:42to 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?
29:15I 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.
29:43With not much drama about her.
29:46And I am most keen to hear
29:47the ending of her story
29:48before I am evicted from this house.
29:51Will she have her happy ending?
29:54Well, we must read on then
29:56and find out.
29:58I must know if she is to be married.
30:02Is that the only outcome
30:03that would be happy?
30:06It is.
30:07Oh, Isabella.
30:09There are so many other ways
30:12for women like us
30:13to find happiness.
30:15Are there?
30:16Read on.
30:17Please, Cassandra.
30:20From this time,
30:22Captain Wentworth
30:23and Anne Elliot
30:24were repeatedly
30:25in the same circle.
30:29They had no conversation together.
30:31No intercourse
30:33but what the commonest civility required.
30:36Once so much
30:37to each other.
30:39And now,
30:40nothing.
30:42Now they were as strangers.
30:44Nay,
30:45worse
30:46than strangers.
30:47for they could never
30:49become acquainted.
30:50Oh, Cassandra.
30:53Your sister
30:54understood affairs of the heart
30:55better than anyone.
30:57Please tell me,
30:58did 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 a gentleman
31:20you both met
31:21in Sidmouth?
31:22The season
31:23you spent there,
31:24remember?
31:25And wasn't there
31:26even rivalry
31:27between you?
31:30Rivalry?
31:31In love?
31:35I have no idea
31:36what your Aunt Mary
31:37is talking about.
31:39If 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.
32:09What a
32:10lovely
32:11confection.
32:12Your Aunt Jane
32:14would be
32:14very amused
32:16to find herself
32:17the heroine
32:18of a
32:19romantic
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.
32:50I can't
32:55tell you.
32:56No, no,
32:56no.
33:01I can't
33:02go.
33:17I do not
33:19I can't
33:20Come along now.
33:22Jane!
33:24Jane, shall 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 old 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, is it like the yellow best?
34:24Because 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.
34:46You have my impertinence, miss, but that is the most excellent shell.
34:52Yes, 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.
35:27I found this for 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.
36:11She 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.
36:24Mama has been quite bilious since we arrived.
36:26Travel affects her.
36:32Oh, they're beautiful.
36:35My bowels feel much steadier, Cassie,
36:38after what was the most frightful evacuation.
36:41Oh, thanks be to the Lord.
36:43I think I will like this apothecary.
36:46He has a good feel for my system.
36:52Beautiful evening.
36:54Yes, quite beautiful.
36:57Er, Mrs. George Austen.
37:00Mr. Henry Hobday, it's my pleasure, Marl.
37:02This is my eldest daughter, Miss Austen.
37:07Yes, I do believe I've made your daughter's acquaintance before.
37:12Miss Austen.
37:14A passing encounter in a shop is all.
37:16Indeed.
37:19Er, and this is my other daughter, Miss Jane Austen.
37:25Delighted.
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.
38:58Do 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 can't find a sea creature again?
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.
39:59Many thousands, even.
40:01That is evidence of a creature that lived on Earth even before man.
40:04Hm.
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 now?
40:37She 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...
40:58Now, Cassie, pray tell me.
41:01Do you share your father's opinion?
41:05I 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...
41:17He 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, I have a chapter I must finish.
41:47Well, what if he's there?
41:49What if who is there?
41:50Mr. Hobday.
41:51Why?
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?
42:40Cold.
42:42This house is like the grave now.
42:46Well, good night, good night.
42:47Sleep well, my dear.
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?
43:26We lost my husband.
43:28Four years ago.
43:30I'm sorry to hear that.
43:32What did he ail from?
43:34A tumour.
43:36A tumour?
43:38We 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.
44:09A 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.
44:24In fact, I'm not sure my constitution would take over the years.
44:31That curate was handsome enough and single from what I hear, but his sermon was a touch...
44:38Terrifying, Mama.
44:40Mrs. Austin.
44:42Well, this is a coincidence. And, I must say, the happiest one.
44:49Mr. Hobdame? Mrs. Hobdame?
44:50Mrs. Austin.
44:52How did you find the sermon today, sir?
44:55Oh, I thought the young lad did well enough, considering 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 will 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. That sermon was not to our taste. It was vulgar and excessive.
45:17What did you think, Mr. Hobdame?
45:19Jane! You cannot ask Mr. Hobdame of his opinion when you've been so sure of your own.
45:24Do forgive my sister, Mr. Hobdame. She's not usually quite so outspoken.
45:30I can assure you, she certainly is, Mr. Hobdame.
45:33Well, luckily, I agree most comprehensively with Mrs. Austin. It was not to my taste either.
45:38How will you all find these signals?
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. Our son Frank isn't drowning tonight.
45:48Did you know our brother has fought Napoleon single-handed, Mr. Hobdame?
45:53I rather approve of your Mr. Hobdame.
45:57He's not my Mr. Hobdame.
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 has been as frightful to anyone as you were to Mr. Blackhall.
46:13So would you estimate this morning it's a half a Blackhall?
46:17I think I'd say more of a third.
46:22And he's certainly not my Mr. Hobdame.
46:23Really? Then you have not noticed the way he looks at you.
46:27Nonsense. He ignores me at every opportunity.
46:29He pays everyone else far more attention. Papa, Anna, you.
46:33Precisely. And that is the evidence.
46:36I am something of an expert in romantic matters, and I'm quite sure I saw sparks flying between you.
46:42I think one even caught in my bonnet, because of your charms, I might have gone up in smoke.
46:49Cass, how can you be so blind? You have caught him in your powers.
46:53I have no powers.
46:54Oh, you do, my darling. And that you are unaware of them makes 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. I have no possible interest in Mr. Hobday.
47:17Where are you going?
47:18To right.
47:33Jane, what more have you said?
47:38Eliza, our Sidmouth adventure is proving far more entertaining than even I could have imagined.
47:44A secret plan is afoot, and I am to be my young niece Anna's willing accomplice.
47:50The beneficiary of our surprise is to be Cassie, no less.
48:05Please don't like it.
48:18Thank you for going.
48:19Thank you, friend.
48:38Do you see your power now?
48:43Do you see your power now?
48:58What is it?
49:00Just waiting for someone.
49:13Miss Austin.
49:15Mr. Hobday.
49:19Yellow suits you.
49:40I may have neglected to say how sorry I was to hear of your tragic loss.
49:46That is most kind, Mr. Hobday.
49:51I confess I...
49:53I was overwhelmed by grief at first.
49:57And now?
50:01Now...
50:03It is not so sharp.
50:13My dear Eliza, this comes to you with great urgency.
50:17I must share it with you, though it is not my secret to tell.
50:21My sister, my beloved sister Cassie, is in love.
50:29My sister, my beloved sister Cassie, is in love.
50:51I don't know how I got here.
50:53I don't know how I got here.
50:54Are you ill?
50:54You must be ill.
50:55Now don't come here if you're ill.
50:57Please.
50:58Please just leave me here.
51:00No, if you're sure.
51:01What?
51:06What?
51:23What....
51:25What...
51:26What?
51:29What.
51:30What?
51:41Miss Austen?
51:43Miss Austen?
51:44God save us, don't tell us she's gone and died on Miss...
51:47Cassandra?
51:48Isabella?
51:48Cassandra, it's me.
51:50Isabella?
51:50Is she alright?
51:51She's burning up.
51:53Was she saying for Mr Litterdale?
51:56Miss Isabella?
51:57Mr 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.
52:21Am 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.
52:44I am to be in print.
52:46I am to be a published authorette.
52:48I am to be a published authorette.
