Short filmTranscript
00:21I woke early that morning, a great thought pressing upon me.
00:35I had made my decision.
00:41I knew what I wanted, and today I would seize it.
00:52Fortune favoured the brave, didn't it?
01:09Mr Ryder, I want to hear your thoughts on the book I lent you.
01:14I've made little progress.
01:15Or is it that you're reading?
01:17You won't know it.
01:19It is far too trivial for her tastes.
01:25Would you like the preserves, Miss Bennet?
01:28I recommend the strawberry.
01:30Oh, thank you.
01:31The marmalade is most excellent.
01:36Mr Hayward, I am heartened to see you out in public so soon after your disappointment with Miss Baxter.
01:45The whole situation was so publicly played out, I would have hidden myself away for a year at least with
01:52the humiliation of it all.
01:54You are brave.
01:56On the contrary, things can happen to any of us, can't they?
02:00Kippers, Miss Bingley.
02:06Pass the coffee pot.
02:08It's empty.
02:14It's quite hard to imagine that later today we will see the sea.
02:17I think I might be the first in my family to climb a mountain.
02:21I think you're right.
02:21It will not disappoint, Miss Bennet.
02:24I can assure you that.
02:26It's extraordinary to think that we'll be following in Mr Wordsworth's steps, that we'll stand where he stood.
02:34She stood, actually.
02:35It was his sister that climbed Scarfell.
03:02And so our little party has expanded.
03:06Yes.
03:11I know it is not polite of me to say, but I do not care much for Miss Bingley.
03:19Nor I.
03:22I get the feeling that at any moment she might ask me to fetch her coat or polish her shoes.
03:27Well, you'd have to be in possession of ten thousand a year to win the good opinion of Caroline Bingley.
03:33Do you think money is important, Miss Bennet?
03:36You know, Lizzie used to say that it was only when she caught sight of Pemberley that she realised how
03:42much she loved Mr Darcy.
03:47Um...
03:48Six to one odds on Slim and Sprightly at the 420 in York next Tuesday.
03:52On the flat?
03:53Yes.
03:55Well, it's a shame it isn't Newmarket, but you must surely take the odds.
03:58That I will, Miss Bennet, and so must you!
04:01Yes!
04:01Mr Hurst?
04:02Mr Hurst?
04:09Oh!
04:10What a good idea!
04:12Oh!
04:12What a good idea!
04:12OK, we'll just run away.
04:14Yeah!
04:20Oh!
04:27Put some effort into it, Hayward.
04:28You could do with loosening up.
04:38That's it.
04:39That's it.
04:40That's it.
04:42Tom, I wondered whether you and I might find some time to discuss this legal matter today.
04:50Oh, of course!
04:57I'll be delighted!
04:58Come along, the mountain will not wait!
05:02Let's go!
05:03Oh!
05:16It's being new. Stay on. Stay on.
05:30Miss Bennet.
05:34Honeysuckle.
05:35Yes.
05:36Very poisonous to dogs.
05:38But not bears.
05:39Not bears.
05:40Dogs and humans.
05:42It's funny, although it's called honeysuckle,
05:44if you were to suckle on the berries,
05:45it would leave you quite sick.
05:48Fascinating.
05:50What I meant to say was, thank you.
05:53My pleasure.
05:59Miss Bennet.
06:01Oh.
06:02I picked this for you.
06:03Oh.
06:05Primrose.
06:06The last two primroses of the season.
06:08One for you and one for Miss Bingley.
06:10Very thoughtful.
06:12You must have a fact about primroses, Miss Bennet.
06:15Oh.
06:16Oh.
06:17I shall have to think.
06:18The first to eat a primrose, they say,
06:21will be the first to marry.
06:25Ha.
06:27Oh.
06:27Hang on.
06:36Oh, they have hairy undersides.
06:38I beg your pardon?
06:40Uh, primrose leaves.
06:42I see.
06:45There's also something about fairies.
06:46I probably should have led with that.
06:49Miss Bennett, you always make me see the world in a new light.
06:55Oh.
06:57Wow.
06:59Shall we?
07:11Oh, gosh.
07:13Oh, gosh.
07:14Sheep, feces.
07:16Glorious.
07:28More.
07:29More.
07:30More.
07:33More.
07:37I do hope the hearsts are not finding it too taxing.
07:40Mm, yes.
07:42I offered Mrs. Hearst my arm when we forwarded this string,
07:45but she brushed me off quite brusquely.
07:47She obviously possesses the same gentle charm as her sister.
07:53Look at this!
07:56Isn't it marvellous?
07:58Really, really is.
08:00I think we'll have to accompany the hearsts back down.
08:04Really?
08:05Oh, they have no wish to continue,
08:07but unfortunately no recollection of the path we walked to get here.
08:11Well, they just head downwards.
08:13Well, the inn will be peaceful this afternoon.
08:18Everyone will be out.
08:20Very good.
08:23We shouldn't risk the hearst getting lost.
08:26No.
08:27Are you happy to continue without us, Mary?
08:29Of course.
08:30I want to hear all about the view when you return.
08:33And take good care of her, won't you?
08:36I will.
08:38I'll race you down.
08:40You're on.
08:41Well, there we are.
08:42It's been revealed.
08:43I'm not pissed.
08:44Onwards we go!
08:49Oh, thank you.
08:50There we go!
08:54Oh, dear.
08:56Wait for me?
09:28MUSIC CONTINUES
09:30There lies the Soloway Firth.
09:31And then...
09:34Scotland.
09:36And then beyond that?
09:38Beyond that...
09:40is the sea.
09:58What would your mother say?
10:01If she could see you now...
10:06She would likely tell me that the winds have ruined my hair.
10:14The vastness of the landscape...
10:18almost overwhelming.
10:21It is.
10:22It...
10:24It reminds me how small...
10:26and insignificant we are.
10:29How, in the blink of an eye, we, everything that we have created will be gone.
10:38Do you think there's a lesson here, Miss Bennett?
10:42That during our short time on this earth, we should be brave.
10:47Follow our hearts.
10:52Perhaps there is.
10:56Perhaps now would be a good time to continue our conversation from the boat yesterday.
11:00Uh, well, I, uh...
11:02Yes.
11:04Yes.
11:06Well, though I...
11:09Hmm.
11:19Though I spend so much of my time absorbed in poetry when it comes to my own emotions, I...
11:27Well...
11:27I do not always find it easy knowing where to begin.
11:30The same.
11:33The same.
11:37Miss Bennett.
11:43Mary.
11:49I am most glad that we were able to see this.
11:53To be here, together.
11:57As am I.
12:00You know that I've grown so fond of you.
12:03So fond of you during our time together.
12:08And are you?
12:09Yes.
12:12There is no one I long to talk to like I do you.
12:16No one.
12:19No one who makes me feel more like me.
12:24If that makes any sense at all.
12:26Yes, it does.
12:27Yes, it does.
12:29Absolutely does.
12:30Yes.
12:32Yes.
12:35I wondered if you might...
12:36Tom!
12:38If...
12:38If...
12:39If I might...
12:40Tom, I beg a word with you.
12:42William, please give us a moment.
12:43We're just in the middle of a conversation.
12:45Yes.
12:46I'm afraid I really must insist.
12:48I'll be brief.
12:50It is very important.
12:52We will continue.
12:54I'll be brief.
12:57Yes.
13:00Now, for Tom, we must discuss my financial affairs.
13:05You see...
13:08Tom?
13:09Tom?
13:10Tom?
13:11Tom?
13:17Tom?
13:21Tom?
13:22Tom?
13:23Tom?
13:24Do you know what legal matter Mr Ryder wished to speak to Mr Hayward about so urgently?
13:28Something to do with his aunt, Lady Catherine de Burr.
13:31I could not wait. Evidently not.
13:45Excuse us. Business talk, I'm afraid.
13:49And is the matter resolved?
13:52Yes. Yes, I'd say it is.
14:03Sit. Would you like an egg?
14:18Yes, I'd say it is.
14:20Yes, I'd say it is.
14:34What has happened?
14:36Please, forgive me.
14:38Miss Bennet.
14:54Miss Bennet.
14:56Shall we take in the views and see what inspiration Wordsworth can give us?
15:04I wandered lonely as a cloud that floats on high, oh, vales and hills, when all at once I saw
15:13a crowd, a host of golden daffodils, beside the lake beneath the trees, fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
15:25Continuous as the stars that shine, and twinkle on the Milky Way, they stretched a never-ending line along the
15:35margin of a bay.
15:43I think that might be the inn.
15:47It's moving.
15:50Or a sheep.
15:53How does Mr. Hayward seem to you? Is he quite all right?
15:57Mr. Hayward? I think so.
16:00Mr. Ryder, Mr. Hayward, a word.
16:02One moment.
16:04Now.
16:10Mr. Hayward!
16:12It doesn't look like all the terrain like this.
16:15I understand.
16:16We need to make our way down the mountain.
16:19What?
16:19Why?
16:21What has happened?
16:22There's a storm coming in.
16:24But we've only just arrived.
16:25And we need to rest before heading back down.
16:29Nevertheless, the storm is brewing.
16:31We need to start our descent immediately.
16:34How does he know?
16:35He says there's been a change in the air.
16:38I mean, I can't feel it is.
16:40Well, he can, and he is our guide.
16:43So we should leave.
16:45I was only saying that I could not feel...
16:47Please, let us gather our things or...
16:48Hayward, I don't think we need to leave immediately.
16:51Earlier, it seemed as though a storm was brewing and nothing happened.
16:55Yes, and this guide is not the sharpest fellow I've ever met, so I say we stay here a little
16:59longer.
17:00He knows the skies and he knows the area.
17:03Miss Bingley.
17:06What do you think, Miss Bennet?
17:09Can you imagine what it would be like to experience a storm from up here?
17:15To watch it come in?
17:16Yes, that would be quite unforgettable.
17:18And did Wordsworth himself not tell us that no traveller should grudge a little inconvenience to witness such a sight
17:26as a storm?
17:27It is a privilege to witness such a demonstration of nature's power.
17:31I am not sure what privilege there is in being soaked to the skin.
17:34A little rain is of no concern to me.
17:36Well, you are not the only person here.
17:38I think we should stay a while longer, and I think we should experience the storm just as well as
17:42we did.
17:43That is the spirit, Miss Bennet.
17:44But our guide has told us that we should leave.
17:47Miss Bennet, I appeal to your rational mind.
17:50Right, I am leaving this minute and I suggest you follow.
17:53Or else I will inform the others they have a rather long wait for you.
17:57Have you just left us?
17:58I believe he has.
18:00This is not like you at all.
18:03Oh!
18:04Oh, it is I who has changed, is it?
18:06Yes.
18:08Well, perhaps I'm tired of my old character. I wish to try a new one.
18:12Well, I am sorry to hear that. I was fond of the old Mary.
18:18I shall be sure to tell her that.
18:20For she has wondered many times today what your true feelings were.
18:27Sometimes in life we must seize the moment and we must finish what we set out to do without letting
18:33anything get in our way.
18:36I am sorry to have disappointed him.
19:02There was a roaring in the wind all night. The rain came heavy and fell in floods.
19:09Quite extraordinary.
19:10I am sorry.
19:31I think perhaps now we should go.
19:33Magnificent!
19:34Nevertheless, I think we should get back.
19:36Ha-ha!
19:37Is this not the most extraordinary sight you've ever laid eyes upon?
19:41We need to move quickly!
19:45Come on!
19:45We can head down now!
19:47Come on!
19:48Come on!
19:55Come on!
19:56What it is to be alive, eh?
19:58Come on!
20:07Come on!
20:09I... I'm sorry.
20:14Police ain't close.
20:16I told Mrs. Gardiner I would have got you.
20:18I said to keep my word.
20:32Very slippery!
20:34Try carefully. I'll call ahead and find the safest way down.
20:37Heywood, don't worry. I know the rules.
20:55Mr. Ryder!
20:59Mr. Ryder!
21:04Miss Bennet!
21:07Miss Bennet!
21:11Miss Bennet!
21:13Help me!
21:14Can you move?
21:16No, I don't think so.
21:19No, please go and get help.
21:21I do not know where Ryder or Hayward are.
21:24Here, let me.
21:27Be careful! Be careful!
21:29I'm trying! I'm trying!
21:32I've got it!
21:33It's out! No!
21:35Put your arm around me!
21:37All right?
21:39All right?
21:42I cannot feel like this!
21:45Don't walk on the scones! They're slippery!
21:47Miss Bennet!
21:50Miss Bennet!
21:52Miss Bennet!
21:54She fell. She fell! She hurt!
21:57I hurt.
21:58I can help!
21:59I got it, Miss Bennet!
22:01Do you know what I feels like when if anything were to happen to you!
22:10Sing!
22:12Hold on, Miss Bingley.
22:26They're taking too long. Do you think something's happened?
22:28I'm sure they're fine.
22:30I should go and look for them.
22:34There they are.
22:35I'm so sorry. I lost you all on the way down.
22:38Miss Bingley is badly hurt. We must get her inside.
22:40We've had to carry her down the mountain.
22:43Oh, Mary.
22:44My friend.
22:45Mary.
22:46My friend.
22:47Miss Bingley.
22:48Get her inside.
22:49Miss Bingley.
22:50Let...let me...let me...
22:54Hurry.
22:55You're OK.
22:56Miss Bingley.
22:57Here we go.
23:21Guess what?
23:22I'm going to take you.
23:27Just make me.
23:33humano aim.
23:37Let the nursery in the house
23:40I think you're happy to turn around with me.
24:01what did the doctor say any change not as yet you should get some rest Tom
24:11I'm
24:59Oh, Mary, Mary, are you awake, Tom, Tom, is she awake?
25:09I think so.
25:10Let me fetch the doctor.
25:12Shh.
25:13I...
25:16I...
25:26She's doing well.
25:28She's going to make a full recovery.
26:03And so it was that Mr. Heywood left the lakes.
26:08A trip that had promised so much, had delivered very little.
26:15He didn't return to London.
26:19I did not know when I would see him again.
