Short filmTranscript
00:23Three times I had written to Mr. Hayward, and each time the letter was returned, marked
00:29forwarding address unknown.
00:32There was so much that I wished to say to him, but it was not to be.
00:41No matter, I would not wallow.
00:43I had navigated difficulty before, and I would use my experiences to find my place in London
00:49and prove I could build a life here, not only to myself, but also to...
00:57Mama.
00:58Here she is.
01:00I didn't know you were...
01:02Sorry, what are you doing here?
01:04Your mother has come to stay.
01:06For a short time.
01:08Lizzie's physician advised I come to London to see Dr. Simmons, who is a great authority
01:13on nervous complaints.
01:16Well, sit.
01:21Mr. Darcy has been most insistent, urging me to think of myself and not hurry back to Pemberley.
01:28Until I have been properly attended to.
01:32Now, Mary, I have decided to forgive your actions at Pemberley and to offer you my assistance one last time.
01:40While I am here, I intend to finish what I began and find suitable matches for all my daughters.
01:50Oh, please, Mama, really.
01:52Four out of five must be considered a great triumph.
01:56A great triumph, indeed.
01:57Mary has plenty in London to occupy her time.
02:00There is no better use of Mary's time than finding a match.
02:04Oh, please, Mother, really.
02:06I'm very happy, as I am.
02:08I understand your shame, Mary, in the way that you have behaved towards me.
02:13But nevertheless, you cannot override my natural kindness and my motherly instinct.
02:20I have arranged for you to meet several suitors.
02:47Is it too much to ask you to make even the slightest effort with just one of these gentlemen?
02:52Mary has made good connections.
02:54Oh, and do good connections provide for you for the rest of your life?
02:58And she is welcome here.
02:59Oh, yes.
03:00For now.
03:01For as long as she wants.
03:02Enter!
03:07A visitor for Miss Bennet.
03:10Mr. Ryder is here.
03:12Mr. Ryder?
03:14Well, show him in.
03:17Please show him in.
03:24Oh.
03:30Mr. Ryder, how wonderful to see you.
03:34Mrs. Bennet.
03:35Mrs. Gardiner.
03:37Miss Bennet.
03:40And to what do we owe the pleasure of your visit?
03:43Yes, excuse me dropping in unannounced.
03:45I wondered whether I might speak with Miss Bennet.
03:51Of course.
03:54In private.
04:00Miss Bennet, I'm most relieved to see you looking so well after.
04:06Yeah, yeah.
04:08I was sorry not to be able to say goodbye to you at the Lakes.
04:12Once I knew you were being taken care of, I felt it my duty to accompany Miss Bingley
04:16back to London to see a physician.
04:18I understand.
04:19But I was kept informed of your recovery.
04:29Miss Bennet, I...
04:32I wanted to sincerely apologize for what happened.
04:37Oh, I played my own part in proceedings.
04:40No, no, I was entirely to blame.
04:43I put you and Miss Bingley in grave danger.
04:46I'm full of regret.
04:47Oh, really?
04:48I think no more of it.
04:51Though it did not end well.
04:53Overall, I look back at my time in the Lakes very fondly.
04:58It was never my intention to intrude on your time there.
05:03But I needed Mr. Hayward's help.
05:07You see, Lady Catherine de Burr unexpectedly named me as her heir.
05:15Oh.
05:19I informed Mr. Hayward of my change in fortune and told him of my intention to propose to
05:27you that very afternoon.
05:32I see.
05:34He knew what I could offer you and he gave me his blessing.
05:43He did.
05:45Miss Bennet, I wanted to renew our conversation from the Lakes.
05:53Of course.
05:54Of course, Mr. Ryder.
05:56Please, um, please sit.
06:15I've never met anyone that makes me think like you do.
06:20Who makes me see the world as you do.
06:25I've certainly never met anyone who speaks as plainly as you.
06:28And I admire that greatly.
06:31It's very kind.
06:34Although there is something of a gulf between my ideals and the world we live in.
06:43I like to think that you and I could carve out an interesting existence.
06:51Together.
06:55I shall now do what I should have done weeks ago and ask...
07:05Miss Bennet.
07:12Would you consider accepting my hand in marriage?
07:29Mr. Ryder.
07:32My answer must, of course, be...
07:42That I do not love you.
07:48What?
07:50Could it be that you might grow to love me?
07:58Not in the way that you deserve to be loved.
08:07Your friendship has...
08:09It's taught me so much about myself.
08:12And for that, I shall always be grateful.
08:16But I don't believe...
08:19I would ever have made you happy.
08:26You should follow your heart.
08:28Go to Italy.
08:30And...
08:31And seize everything it has to offer.
08:35I see.
08:39You will find happiness, Mr. Ryder.
08:42True happiness.
08:43Yes.
08:45I do not doubt it.
08:56No.
09:00It was a...
09:02Pleasure to see you looking so well.
09:07Pleasure to see you looking so...
09:10Dry.
09:18Goodbye, Miss Bennet.
09:22Bye.
09:31No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
09:33Mother.
09:34Uh, I should leave.
09:36Oh, please.
09:37Stay there.
09:38Mother!
09:39Mr. Ryder, you may go.
09:49What have you done?
09:51Oh, I need some air.
09:55Mary.
09:57Mary!
09:58Mary!
10:20Miss Bennet.
10:24Mr. Sparrow!
10:26Oh.
10:28Yeah.
10:29Um.
10:30Is everything quite all right?
10:32No, yes.
10:33The city smoke is particularly heavy today.
10:35And it just seems to have...
10:37Yeah.
10:39May I?
11:03I hope they are still serving you well.
11:07They really are.
11:09Tell me, um, what...
11:10What brings you to London?
11:12I graduated from Moorfields two weeks ago.
11:16You're a doctor.
11:18Just as you said you would be.
11:22Congratulations, Mr. Sparrow.
11:26I always thought you'd end up studying somewhere.
11:28Somehow.
11:28Well, I would like to be a governess.
11:32To an older girl, perhaps.
11:35I think I'd enjoy teaching petrology and geology and...
11:38Your specialisms.
11:39Perhaps one day you could tutor my daughter.
11:42You have a child.
11:44She is one.
11:48Then perhaps I will, yes.
11:51No, I've not really looked too far into it as yet.
11:56I think my mother will not approve.
12:03If I remember rightly,
12:05you and your mother always had very different ideas about life.
12:09About reading.
12:10About the wearing of spectacles.
12:14And about...
12:17Potential matters.
12:22If I may be so bold,
12:24if you have always struggled to please your mother,
12:28why do you keep trying?
12:31As long as you know what you want,
12:33perhaps it is time to stop worrying what she thinks.
12:39But our happiness is in our own hands.
12:43Absolutely.
12:45I truly believe it is.
12:49It has been a pleasure to see you again.
12:52I must be getting back.
12:59Goodbye, Mr. Sparrow.
13:01I'm very, very glad to have run into you today.
13:05I'm very glad to have run into you today.
13:06I'm very glad to have run into you today.
13:14I'm very glad to have run into you today.
13:23I'm very glad to have run into you today.
13:26Mary,
13:28what on earth are you thinking?
13:30Mother,
13:31I'm sorry to disappoint you.
13:33Again.
13:35But I will not be marrying Mr. Ryder.
13:37Nonsense.
13:38Call him back and tell him you were mistaken.
13:40No, I will not do that.
13:42Have you no consideration for my nerves?
13:46I've never wanted to cause you any trouble.
13:49You have caused me nothing but trouble
13:52since the day you were born.
13:54Yes, I'm aware that is so.
13:57I am trying to help you.
14:00I do not want you to be looked down upon.
14:06Looked down upon?
14:08By whom?
14:14Mary, please,
14:15call Mr. Ryder back
14:17and accept his offer.
14:19I do not love him.
14:21Mama,
14:21I've not waited all this time
14:23just to marry a man
14:24I do not love.
14:25You would have once
14:26agreed to marry Mr. Collins.
14:28Did you love him?
14:29No,
14:30I didn't.
14:31No.
14:32At the time,
14:32I thought I was helping
14:34our family remain at Longmore.
14:35And now there is
14:36a handsome,
14:38wealthy man
14:38willing to overlook
14:39your shortcomings
14:40and you have turned him away.
14:41Because I have changed.
14:43We'll change back again.
14:50Charlotte once told me
14:52that my options
14:53were marriage
14:54or misery.
14:56But I have seen
14:58many miserable marriages.
15:01And meanwhile,
15:03I've experienced
15:04much joy in life
15:07on my own.
15:08What will you do
15:10without a husband?
15:11How will you survive?
15:13I will work
15:13as a governess.
15:15Outside the families?
15:16I will take on
15:17an older pupil
15:18and I will teach
15:19a more nuanced,
15:20detailed education
15:21working to a higher level
15:22on a specific set of...
15:24Why do you insist
15:24on torturing me?
15:35It has always been
15:36my intention
15:37to please you.
15:40I am very sad
15:42that I have never
15:43been able
15:43to make you proud of me.
15:47Yet I was never able
15:48to match my sisters
15:50in your esteem.
15:54I am sorry.
15:58You have no idea
15:59what it has been like
16:00for me.
16:01I had five daughters.
16:03Five daughters.
16:05All of whom I knew
16:07must marry well
16:08in order to survive.
16:09And there was nobody
16:10to make that happen
16:11except me.
16:14Your father
16:15never had to think
16:16about it.
16:18And he never raised
16:20a finger to help.
16:23In fact,
16:25any attempts I made
16:26to discuss your futures
16:28seemed only to rile him.
16:31I was quite
16:33alone.
16:39You and I
16:41always have been
16:42very different creatures.
16:46And it is likely
16:48we all shall be.
16:51It doesn't seem fair
16:52that you weren't helped
16:53in your efforts.
16:56but
16:58you did it.
17:02We are all settled
17:04in our different ways.
17:06I have chosen my path
17:08and
17:09I am happy
17:11with it.
17:16I did not want you
17:18to be left
17:18behind.
17:40I did not want you
17:52send our love
17:53to Lizzie.
17:58Goodbye, Jane.
18:19Mary, I have to say
18:21I don't think
18:21I've ever seen
18:22anyone stand up
18:22to your mother
18:23as successfully
18:23as you did.
18:24Really?
18:25It was very impressive.
18:32I don't mind
18:33that I'll never marry.
18:38I'm only sad
18:39that
18:40without a home
18:41of my own
18:41I shall never
18:43get to choose
18:44my own wallpaper.
18:46You can always
18:47choose some
18:48for your room,
18:49Mary,
18:49if you like.
18:52Do you think
18:53I've done
18:53the wrong thing
18:56in not marrying
18:57Mr. Ryder?
18:59Not at all,
19:00Mary.
19:02I've learned
19:03a great deal
19:03from him.
19:05He's a man
19:06that finds
19:06joy in life
19:08and there's much
19:08to be admired
19:09about him.
19:10But you do not
19:10love him.
19:13No.
19:16You love
19:18someone else?
19:24Where's he gone?
19:30I wish I knew.
19:44Miss Bennet,
19:46there is
19:46a visitor
19:47to see you
19:48in the drawing room.
19:50Miss Bingley.
20:13Miss Bennet,
20:14I wanted to
20:16thank you
20:18for what you did
20:20on the mountain.
20:22You could have
20:23left me there
20:24and
20:26you didn't.
20:35I think it is
20:36plain to see
20:37that I
20:39have a great fondness
20:41for
20:42Mr. Ryder
20:45and
20:46and I have
20:46come to ask
20:47that you
20:49leave him
20:50alone.
20:51Oh,
20:52Miss Bingley,
20:53you are
20:54much
20:54better suited
20:55to Mr. Ryder
20:56than I am.
20:56You don't mean that.
20:57I do.
20:58I do.
20:59Mr. Ryder
20:59is a dear friend
21:02but he and I
21:03were never a match.
21:10The truth is
21:15it was always
21:17Mr. Hayward
21:17for me
21:19but it is not
21:20to be.
21:22Really?
21:23Tom Hayward?
21:25Surely
21:26he is attainable.
21:28It seems not.
21:31He has
21:32disappeared.
21:34Well, well.
21:48Perhaps I shall
21:50call for you
21:52sometime,
21:53Miss Bennet.
21:54Yes,
21:55we could
21:55read poetry
21:56together.
22:00Goodbye,
22:01Miss Bennet.
22:01Goodbye,
22:02Miss Bingley.
22:04Ahem.
22:05Ahem.
22:23And so it was
22:24that I carved out
22:25my own path.
22:28I stayed in London
22:29and became
22:30a governess.
22:34Over time,
22:35I worried a little
22:36less about
22:37the approval
22:38of others.
22:40And though the
22:41life I had chosen
22:42was different
22:43to that of my
22:44sisters,
22:45I had a wealth
22:46of experience
22:47to be proud of.
22:50I had found a family
22:51I loved
22:52very much.
22:54I was happy
22:55in the life
22:56I had chosen
22:57and I knew
22:58that I was
22:59good enough.
23:04Though one
23:05can always be
23:06just a little
23:07happier,
23:08I suppose.
23:09Miss Bennet!
23:14Miss Bennet!
23:16Miss Bennet!
23:19Miss Bennet!
23:19I hope your father
23:19has tried to eat.
23:28To Hayward.
23:51Mrs. Gardner said I might find you here
23:54Mrs. Bennet, I...
23:58Where have you been?
23:59Mrs. Bennet, I'm insistent.
24:03Yorkshire.
24:05What do you mean Yorkshire?
24:07You can't just say Yorkshire, as if Yorkshire's an entirely reasonable explanation
24:11for your very sudden and somewhat lengthy disappearance.
24:16After what you said...
24:17I'm sorry, Mary.
24:18Please, please let me explain
24:22Well, you're here now...
24:25...Mr Haywood.
24:26Do go on.
24:33Well, we were in the lakes.
24:35The legal matter that Mr Ryder asked me to attend to
24:38was his inheriting the fortune of Lady Catherine de Bourgh.
24:44And I knew quite clearly from Ryder's incredibly irritating behaviour
24:49that he had a liking for you, as I also had.
24:56As I also have.
24:59It is such a liking, in fact,
25:02that when I learned of Mr Ryder's good fortune
25:04and his plan to make you an offer of marriage,
25:06I thought it in your best interest that I graciously step aside.
25:10Nevertheless, my actions in the mountains...
25:13You thought it in my best interests to graciously step aside.
25:18So your disappearance was, in fact, you being gracious to me.
25:27You and Mr Ryder, between you, thought that you would just decide on my fate
25:31and I would just accept it, like I'm a great old cat.
25:36If you put it like that, it does not sound good.
25:38Why didn't you just ask me what I thought?
25:41I was reading between the lines.
25:42There were no lines.
25:43Mr Hayward, there were no lines.
25:46I know I will never be able to offer you what Mr Ryder can.
25:51I have had to work for everything that I have
25:53and I thought you deserved better than that.
25:59That you deserved better than me, but now I realise
26:03I will not know what you want unless I ask.
26:06So I must tell you I cannot offer you great wealth or Italy.
26:11But I can offer you my love
26:14and my devotion and my hope to build a family one day.
26:22Mr Hayward, if you had asked me what I wanted,
26:29I would have told you I never wanted Mr Ryder.
26:31I have never loved Mr Ryder.
26:34I love you.
26:36I have only ever loved you.
26:39I love you.
26:41I have always loved you
26:43from the very first time I caught you playing graces
26:45on your own
26:46when you thought no one was at home.
26:51I have spent my life on the outside of things,
26:54but with you I am right in the middle of it all.
27:06Mary Bennett, would you do me the very great honour
27:09of becoming my wife?
27:17Yes.
27:20Yes.
27:29I was a yes right away, Mr Hayward,
27:32in case you didn't catch it.
27:34Mary, I think now that we've kissed,
27:36you could probably call me Tom.
27:38Stop.
27:54Wait, what made you come back?
27:56Oh, I received a letter.
27:59From Caroline Bingley.
28:00What?
28:02Yes.
28:03She wrote to me and she told me about your conversation
28:05and I realised I was being ridiculous.
28:07From Caroline Bingley?
28:08Yes.
28:09She did something kind.
28:11Wait, however did she find you?
28:13She has a ways.
28:18My only wish is that we could thank her, but she has left London.
28:22She's gone to Italy in pursuit of Mr Ryder.
28:27Now?
28:28Yes.
28:30No.
28:48And so it was that I married him, but on my own terms, in my own time.
28:56And I hope you'll realise that it's almost beside the point.
29:11The point, perhaps, was just as Hill had predicted all that time ago.
29:18That I needed to get out and see the world outside my family.
29:23So that I could find my place in it.
29:38And that is the last of them.
29:41Really?
29:42No.
29:46Oh, the indigo is splendid.
29:49It's actually Tyrion purple.
29:50It's Tyrion?
29:51Yes, from the Greek myth about Hercules' dog chewing a spiny Murek sea snail.
29:55I didn't know Hercules had a dog.
29:57Keep up, Thomas.
30:00I am trying.
30:07What's next?
30:10Spring green.
30:12In your drawing room?
30:14Hmm.
30:18Hmm.
30:18Hmm.
30:19Hmm.
30:22Hmm.
30:22Hmm.
30:25Hmm.
30:37Hmm.
