00:24THE LOSS OF MY FATHER
00:26was a leap into the unknown. Longborn was my childhood home, and although I had my struggles
00:33here, it was all I had ever known. From now on, would I be relying on the hospitality of
00:41my sisters, destined to spend my days as my mother's companion? What other choice did
00:50I have? I do not expect any of you to understand my pain. The bond Mr. Bennett and I shared
01:02was a rare thing. I do not know that I shall ever eat again. Who is that? I do not
01:13know,
01:13Mama. What sort of person would impinge upon our hour of mourning so distastefully?
01:21Charlotte! I'm afraid you find us in a state of some disarray. Understandably. We've been
01:31wanting to see you all since we heard the terrible news, but knew you would need time as a family
01:36to gather your things. Yourselves. Together. I want to make it quite clear. No.
01:50Quite clear that there's no rush for you to leave Longborn. Hmm. Thank you, Mr. Collins.
01:58You are quite welcome to stay here with us for a full two weeks. Two weeks.
02:03Mrs. Bennett, there really is no hurry for you and Mary to leave. But I have arranged
02:07you some help with the packing. Hmm. So you are not obliged to undertake such a difficult
02:13task during your hour of need. Hmm.
02:17Oh!
02:28Mama, you must come and stay with Mr. Beanley and I at Netherfield. We have a number of cooks
02:33and more servants than we know what to do with. Oh, Jane. I would be delighted. It would bring
02:42me great comfort to be in a sightable property with a large number of staff at my disposal.
02:47Ha ha! Ha ha!
02:49And Mary, you of course must come too. Thank you. But if you're worried about company, Caroline
02:57Bingley stays with us often. Well, yes, but, um, I have not yet thought through my future
03:05prospects. Hmm. Speaking of your prospects, Mary, I have received a letter from my brother
03:11and his wife in London. Their governess has been called back to Norfolk and they have asked
03:17me to send you to stay with them until a suitable replacement is found.
03:21Ha ha! Mary's going to be a governess.
03:23Oh, Mary. I-I would very much like to help, but, um, you will need me, Mama. I-I have
03:31already
03:31accepted their offer. Ha! They're sending a carriage. But, Mama, do not worry about me,
03:38Mary. I shall have Jane by my side. Ha ha!
03:56If my options in life really were marriage or misery, it looked very much as though I was
04:02destined for misery.
04:10Mrs Bennet is indisposed. Oh. Of course. Thank you, Hill.
04:28Um...
04:29What if the children don't like me? Why should they not like you? You're a perfectly likable
04:36soul. I have nothing ready to teach them. Mary, nobody knows more facts about anything
04:46than you. It's time for you to get out and see the world. Meet some other people that live
04:53in it. I think it'll do you good. Do not be frightened, Miss Mary.
04:59Oh, no, I'm not. I'm not. No, I'm just, um...
05:04Maya.
05:05Um...
05:32Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah!
05:42I don't know.
06:04Thanks, Dex.
06:34Oh, Mary! Welcome!
06:36Mary, you must be hungry after your journey.
06:38Would you like some toasted cheese?
06:40But first, we'll show you your room.
06:41Come in, come in!
06:44It's right at the top of the house,
06:46so you won't be disturbed by the children.
07:07How's your mother?
07:10She's had a most trying time of late.
07:12Well, you all have.
07:15Mother as well.
07:16Thank you for inquiring.
07:19And how are you, Mary?
07:22It must have been a terrible shock.
07:27It was.
07:29Well, thank you for stepping in at such short notice.
07:33We don't stand on ceremony here,
07:35especially with the children,
07:36so if you don't mind that,
07:38you'll do well with us.
07:40And the rest of your belongings
07:41will be brought up any moment.
07:43Do you have all you need?
07:45I do. Thank you.
08:00Which mountain range is found
08:02at the end of your armies?
08:05Oh, no.
08:06The Andes.
08:08Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha,
08:16ha, ha.
08:18Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha,
08:21ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
08:21That's good.
08:22Not so good.
08:24Mary, won't you join us for breakfast?
08:26Oh, no, no.
08:27No, sir, thank you, sir.
08:28I'm not at all hungry this morning.
08:30I shall see the children upstairs.
08:44Marianne, 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
09:22best adapted to its sustenance and propagation,
09:27then in conceiving an indefinite variety
09:30among the individuals of that species,
09:34we must be assured that, on the one hand,
09:38those which depart most from the best adapted constitution
09:41will be the 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,
10:01Christopher Columbus discovered America.
10:04Now, where is America?
10:06Ah, yes, America.
10:09Uh...
10:13Where has Rebecca gone?
10:15There were very clearly three of you in this room
10:17when I began looking at the globe,
10:19and now there are 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?
10:30Tom, you're here!
10:31Tom, can we finish lessons now?
10:33Yes.
10:34Oh, forgive the intrusion.
10:36I came to tell you that dinner is served,
10:38and you must be Miss Bennet.
10:41I... I must be.
10:44Oh, yes, I am.
10:46Tom Hayward.
10:47Oh.
10:48Friend of the family.
10:51Hmm.
10:55Aren't there normally three of you?
10:57There were three, certainly,
10:59but I was looking at America,
11:03and when I looked back, it was...
11:11Do you have mice, Miss Bennet?
11:13For if you do,
11:14might I suggest you do not keep them in the toy trunk?
11:19Well, I...
11:20I wasn't sure.
11:21I thought perhaps mice like toy trunks.
11:25No, you see, in there,
11:26they cannot get to their cheese.
11:28Actually, it's a fallacy that mice like cheese.
11:33Of course.
11:34They're much more partial to root vegetables and grains.
11:38Yes, indeed.
11:39I'm a rabbit.
11:44Mr Hayward?
11:47Mr Hayward,
11:48I am keeping a rabbit in the toy trunk
11:53because...
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 them?
12:14Um...
12:17Tom helped Edward with the legal matter some years ago,
12:20and we've been friends ever since.
12:22Is it 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.
12:39But my point really was...
12:41Sounds like you've had a very interesting first day, Miss Bennet.
12:45Well, uh...
12:46Have you read Catherine Macaulay, Miss Bennet?
12:49Yes, I have.
12:50Yes.
12:52Mary told us about smallpox.
12:54I shall never sleep again.
12:56Well, you asked me to be truthful.
12:59What's a deadly rash?
13:01She said it can leave one blind or dead.
13:04That is not quite how I put it.
13:06Blind or dead, she said.
13:07Well, that is true.
13:08There's a mortality rate of about...
13:1030%.
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 lull 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!
13:34But what should we play?
13:36Graces!
13:37Ah!
13:38Let's show Mary how to play graces!
13:41Yes!
13:42Marianne?
13:43Well called, Mary.
13:44Bravo!
13:45Bravo!
13:46You're so better!
13:48Woo!
13:49Oh!
13:50Oh!
13:51Look!
13:51That counts!
13:52It does indeed.
13:53It does indeed.
13:54It does indeed.
13:55Oh!
13:56You'll need to get someone to look at that.
13:59Send it to Blythe, she'll fix it for you.
14:02Ready?
14:03Yay!
14:04Brilliant.
14:05Yes!
14:05Well done!
14:07Flare play.
14:08You look like a wizard.
14:10Yes.
14:17Are you sure you won't join in, Mary?
14:19Oh, no.
14:20I'm not good at games.
14:22Oh, that doesn't matter at all.
14:25Yes.
14:26Well, you couldn't possibly be as ungainly as I am.
14:30Really, I'd only spoil it.
14:38George.
14:39Ready?
14:42Oh, thank you.
14:49Yes, Dom.
14:50Mr. Gardner.
14:52Oh!
14:53Oh!
15:11Yes?
15:14Oh, do not look so grave, my dear.
15:18You're not in trouble.
15:19Well, with the weather getting warmer, we're about to become more sociable.
15:23Oh, oh, 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.
15:32But 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.
15:51I do not really care for dresses.
15:54Well, that's a shame.
15:55But very well.
15:59Perhaps think about it, Mary.
16:01There is a dress allowance as part of your governess' wages.
16:05I have thought about it.
16:07And I would very much like to accept your kind offer.
16:11That's excellent news.
16:14Well, good night, Mary.
16:16And thank you for today.
16:26This must be such a change for marriage.
16:28And it most certainly is.
16:41What do you think of the deep greens?
16:44We have a soiree coming up.
16:46Now, 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
16:59well on you.
17:00But the most important thing being is that you choose fabrics that you truly like.
17:07But Mother says that Mother isn't here.
17:13Mrs. Gardiner?
17:14Oh.
17:15Miss Bennet?
17:16Tom!
17:17Mr. Hayward, have you brought your jacket to be mended?
17:20I have just this minute dropped it off.
17:22Well, now that you're here, you can make yourself useful.
17:25Miss 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.
17:36To 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, or Flamme de Bonche, anyone?
17:51Um, I think I shall take the drake's neck with a splash of num key.
17:56Anyone for gaboge?
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 works so hard.
18:29Really?
18:30Underneath that light-hearted manor, carries the weight of the world on his shoulders.
18:37Now, have you decided?
18:41I have chosen.
18:43Very well, Mary.
18:47The first is this crimson, and then I thought perhaps a spring green trim.
18:54Lovely.
18:55Yes.
18:56But you will need two dresses.
18:57So, perhaps, china blue?
19:02Hmm.
19:05Do you think a dress in the spring green alone would be garish?
19:10What do you think, Mary?
19:14Some people may think it is wild, but I like it.
19:20Then I think you should please yourself and not worry what others may think.
19:25You've done a very good job.
19:27Now.
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.
20:24Oh!
20:28I did it.
20:30You did? Natural.
20:32Beginner's luck.
20:34Right, erm...
20:35Ready?
20:38Er, erm...
20:39One moment.
20:41Oh.
21:14Er...
21:15Er...
21:18Er...
21:20Er...
21:21Er...
21:21Er...
21:28Er...
21:29Er...
21:30Er...
21:30Er...
21:31Er...
21:31Er...
21:31Er...
21:32Er...
21:32Er...
21:32That's...
21:32That's probably enough graces for today.
21:35Er...
21:37Er...
21:38Er...
21:38Er...
22:04Er...
22:10Er...
22:10Er...
22:11Er...
22:11Er...
22:13Er...
22:21Er...
22:22Er...
22:42Er...
23:05Er...
23:10Er...
23:11Er...
23:12Er...
23:42Er...
23:45Er...
23:54Er...
23:55Er...
23:57Er...
24:01Er...
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.
25:01Er...
25:02Er...
25:02Er...
25:02Er...
25:02I mean that's...
25:02That's basically it!
25:03But they're...
25:04They're awfully fun to...
25:05Hunt!
25:06Mmm!
25:08Mmm!
25:10Good evening.
25:12I...
25:12I...
25:13Do not believe we have met.
25:14I'm Miss Baxter.
25:16Delighted to meet you, Miss Baxter.
25:18I am Miss Bennet.
25:20I have not long moved to London from Hertfordshire.
25:24Farnshaw, Mr Farnshaw.
25:30A friend of my mother's died eating those nuts.
25:35One got stuck in his throat and that was it.
25:37He was quite dead in minutes.
25:44Oh, I hope I didn't cause any offence.
25:46That was marvellous.
25:48Oh, I shall keep that story in mind for when I want to be rid of someone.
25:51Forgive me, 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.
26:46And 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 train.
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.
27:52Mr. 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.
28:09It 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, at least I had someone to dance with.
28:33I did not know what tomorrow would bring.
29:03I did not know what tomorrow would be.
29:04Sometimes I had someone to dance with.
29:06I of course a band here.
29:06I did not know what tomorrow would bring.
29:06But I don't know what tomorrow would bring options to end.
29:06By the way, every day.
