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
10:30Is everything quite all right?
10:32No, yes, the city smoke is particularly heavy today
10:35and it just seems to have
10:39May I?
11:00Thank you
11:03I hope they are still serving you well
11:07They really are
11:09Tell me, what 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, somehow
11:29I 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
11:43She is one
11:48Then perhaps I will
11:51I've not really looked too far into it as yet
11:56I think my mother will not approve
12:03If I remember rightly
12:04You and your mother always had very different ideas about life
12:08About 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
12:32Perhaps 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
13:02I'm very, very glad to have run into you today
13:26Mary
13:27What on earth are you thinking?
13:30Mother
13:31I'm sorry to disappoint you
13:33Again
13:34But I will not be marrying Mr. Ryder
13:36Nonsense
13:37Call him back
13:38And 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
13:53Yes
13:54I'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
14:20Mama
14:21I've not waited all this time just to marry a man I do not love
14:25You would have once agreed to marry Mr. Collins
14:28Did you love him?
14:29No, I didn't
14:31No
14:31At the time I thought I was helping our family remain at Longmore
14:35And now there is a handsome, wealthy man
14:38Willing to overlook your shortcomings and you have turned him away
14:41Because I have changed
14:43Well, change back again
14:49Charlotte once told me
14:52That my options were marriage or misery
14:56But I have seen many miserable marriages
15:01And meanwhile
15:03I've experienced much joy in life
15:06On my own
15:08What will you do without a husband?
15:11How will you survive?
15:12I will work
15:13As a governess
15:15Outside the families
15:16I will take on an older pupil
15:18And I will teach a more nuanced, detailed education
15:21Working to a higher level
15:22On a specific setting
15:24Why do you insist on torturing me?
15:35It has always been my intention to please you
15:39I am very sad
15:42That I have never been able to make you proud of me
15:46Yet I was never able to match my sisters
15:50In your esteem
15:54I am sorry
15:57You have no idea what it has been like for me
16:01I had five daughters
16:03Five daughters
16:05All of whom I knew must marry well in order to survive
16:09And there was nobody to make that happen except me
16:14Your father never had to think about it
16:18And he never raised a finger to help
16:22In fact
16:24Any attempts I made to discuss your futures seemed only to rile him
16:31I was quite alone
16:38You and I
16:40Always have been very different creatures
16:46And it is likely we all shall be
16:51It doesn't seem fair that you weren't helped in your efforts
16:56But
16:59You did it
17:02We are all settled
17:04In our different ways
17:06I have chosen my path
17:09And I
17:10I am happy with it
17:16I did not want you to be left behind
17:31Goodbye mother
17:52Send our love to Lizzie
17:58Goodbye Jane
18:19Mary
18:19Mary
18:19I have to say
18:21I don't think I've ever seen anyone stand up to your mother as successfully as you did
18:25Really?
18:25It was very impressive
18:32I don't mind
18:33That I'll never marry
18:38I'm only sad that
18:39Without a home of my own
18:41I shall never get to choose my own wallpaper
18:46You can always choose some for your room Mary if you like
18:52Do you think I've done the wrong thing?
18:56In not marrying Mr Ryder
18:59Not at all Mary
19:02I've learnt a great deal from him
19:05He's a man that finds joy in life
19:07And there's much to be admired about him
19:09But you do not love him
19:13No
19:17You love someone else?
19:24Where has he gone?
19:30I wish I knew
19:41Thank you
19:44Miss Bennet
19:45There is a visitor to see you in the drawing room
19:50Miss Bingley
20:12Miss Bennet
20:14I wanted to thank you for what you did on the mountain
20:22You could have left me there
20:24And you didn't
20:34I think it is plain to see that I have a great fondness for Mr Ryder
20:45And I have come to ask that you
20:49Leave him alone
20:51Oh Miss Bingley
20:52You are much better suited to Mr Ryder than I am
20:56You don't mean that
20:57I do
20:58I do
20:59Mr Ryder is a dear friend
21:02But he and I
21:03We were never a match
21:10The truth is
21:15It was always Mr Hayward for me
21:19But it is not to be
21:21Really?
21:23Tom Hayward?
21:25Surely he is attainable
21:28It seems not
21:30He has disappeared
21:35Well, well
21:48Perhaps I shall
21:50Call for you sometime, Miss Bennet
21:54Yes, we could read poetry together
22:00Goodbye, Miss Bennet
22:01Goodbye, Miss Bingley
22:22And so it was that I carved out my own path
22:27I stayed in London
22:29And became a governess
22:34Over time
22:35I worried a little less about the approval of others
22:40And though the life I had chosen was different to that of my sisters
22:45I had a wealth of experience to be proud of
22:50I had found a family I loved very much
22:53I was happy in the life I had chosen
22:57And I knew that I was good enough
23:04Though one can always be just a little happier, I suppose
23:09Miss Bennet
23:11Miss Bennet
23:15Miss Bennet
23:19Mr Hayward
23:51Mrs Gardner said I might find you here
23:57Miss Bennet
23:58Where have you been?
24:03Yorkshire
24:05What do you mean, Yorkshire?
24:07You can't just say Yorkshire
24:09As if Yorkshire's an entirely reasonable explanation
24:11For your very sudden
24:13And somewhat lengthy disappearance
24:16After what you said
24:17I'm sorry, Mary
24:18Please, please
24:18Let me explain
24:22Well, you're here now
24:25Mr Hayward
24:26Do go on
24:33Where 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 Bourne
24:44And I knew quite clearly from Ryder's incredibly irritating behaviour
24:49That he had a liking for you
24:51As I also had
24:56As I also have
25:00To such a liking
25:01In fact, that when I learned of Mr Ryder's good fortune and his plan to make you an offer of
25:05marriage
25:06I thought
25:07I thought it in your best interest that I graciously step aside
25:10Nevertheless, my actions in the mountain
25:12You thought it in my best interests
25:15To graciously step aside
25:17So your disappearance
25:20Was in fact
25:21You being gracious to me
25:27You and Mr Ryder
25:29Between you
25:29Thought that you would just decide on my fate
25:31And I would just accept it
25:32Like I'm a
25:34Like I'm a
25:34Like I'm a
25:35A great old cat
25:36If you put it like that
25:37It does not sound good
25:38Why didn't you just ask me
25:40What I thought
25:40I was reading between the lines
25:42There were no lines
25:43Mr Hayward
25:44There 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
25:54And I thought you deserved better than that
25:58That you deserved better than me
26:00But now I realise
26:03I will not know what you want
26:04Unless I ask
26:05So I must tell you
26:07I cannot offer you great wealth
26:08Or Italy
26:11But I can offer you my love
26:14And my devotion
26:15And my hope to build a family
26:17One day
26:22Mr Hayward
26:25If you had asked me
26:27What I wanted
26:28I would have told you
26:29I never wanted Mr Ryder
26:31I have never loved Mr Ryder
26:34I love you
26:35I have only ever loved you
26:39I love you
26:41I have always loved you
26:43From the very first time
26:44I caught you playing graces
26:45On your own
26:46When you thought no one was at home
26:51I have spent my life
26:53On the outside of things
26:54But with you
26:55I am right in the middle of it all
27:06Mary Bennett
27:07Would you do me the very great honour
27:09Of becoming my wife
27:17Yes
27:20Yes
27:20Yes
27:21Yes
27:22Yes
27:24Yes
27:24Yes
27:30Yes
27:30Yes
27:30Yes
27:30Yes
27:30Yes
27:30In 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
28:01Yes
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
28:20But she has left London
28:21Oh
28:22She's gone to Italy
28:24In pursuit of Mr. Ryder
28:26Now
28:28Yes
28:30Now
28:31Yes
28:34My love
28:48And so it was that I married him
28:52But on my own terms
28:54In my own time
28:57And I hope you'll realise
28:58That is almost beside the point
29:12The point perhaps
29:13Was just as Hill had predicted
29:16All that time ago
29:18That I needed to get out
29:20And see the world outside my family
29:23So that I could find
29:25My place in it
29:38And that is the last of them
29:41Really?
29:42No
29:47The indigo is splendid
29:48It's actually Tyrion purple
29:50It's Tyrion?
29:51Yes from the Greek myth
29:52About Hercules' dog
29:53Traying a spiny Murek sea snail
29:55I didn't know Hercules had a dog
29:58Keep up Thomas
30:01I am trying
30:07What's next?
30:10Spring green
30:11In your drawing room
30:13That isorter
30:14I am trying
30:14I am trying
30:21To be my boy
30:29In a dark
30:30In her房
