01:36I heard someone came down on Monday in a chaise and four.
01:42From whom did you hear this?
01:44Girls, you must prepare yourselves.
01:48Mrs. Long told me he is from the north of England.
01:52He saw Netherfield Park, fell in love with it and snapped it up straight away.
01:55In order to understand my mother's enthusiasm for this stranger's arrival, we must start at the beginning.
02:04With cake in Meriton, England.
02:13Where a wealthy boy met beautiful girl.
02:18Father, meet mother.
02:20Sadly, the happiness of this union was to be undone by an archaic entail that meant only a male heir
02:26could inherit my father's estate.
02:28And what followed was girl, after girl, after girl, after girl, after girl.
02:40That's his fortune, and her beauty, were worthless.
02:45Mother spent her days trying to involve father in how to overcome their dire situation.
02:50But father hid in his newspaper, indifferent to the cause.
02:54Why should he engage?
02:55When the time comes...
02:57I'll be dead anyway.
03:00Our mother, not known for giving up easily, found a chink of light.
03:05A saving grace.
03:07Each of her children possessed a certain je ne sais quoi.
03:11Be it Jane's beauty,
03:15Lizzie's wit,
03:18Kitty's good humour,
03:19or Lydia's spirit.
03:24If she could secure advantageous marriages for each of us girls,
03:28it would be enough to save us all from destitution.
03:34Although I had not found my own best quality,
03:38I was quite sure that I would.
03:41My fault, Mary.
03:43Until the day my mother's true opinion of me was confirmed.
03:47Mary has an awfully ruddy complexion.
03:50She does not have the complexion of her sisters, that is true.
03:54And she is clumsy.
03:56Ungainly.
03:58Maladroite, as they say.
04:00Four good marriages will have to do.
04:03I only hope she does not ruin her sister's chances.
04:06I only hope she does not ruin her sister's chances.
04:08I only hope she does not ruin her sister's chances.
04:13No, it's not.
04:45If you're not the beautiful one, the quick-witted one, or the ones that are good at games and
04:52full of youthful energy, then who are you?
04:56And what can you do if you're the odd one out?
05:01Is it possible you'll ever find a way to fit in?
05:08Worse, I think.
05:23Worse still.
05:25Do not fret, Miss Bennet.
05:38Have we found it?
05:41I think we have, Mr Sparrow.
05:42Oh, thank goodness for that.
05:52You see, the lenses here correct your vision by bending light rays.
05:56Well, I never.
05:58Hm?
06:13You really do look very well in your spectacles.
06:18Especially when you smile.
06:22Ah, I do not think my mother will agree.
06:25But I have a great passion for reading, and I would have been sad to stop.
06:31I hope they will help you better enjoy the upcoming Meritan assembly.
06:35An assembly?
06:36Yes.
06:37In a month.
06:38I heard this morning.
06:40My sisters will be pleased.
06:44Perhaps I shall see you there.
06:46Hmm.
06:52Miss Mary, you ought to get on.
06:54Of course, he'll.
06:55Of course.
06:55I'll settle affairs here.
06:59And thank you, Mr Sparrow.
07:08I have news!
07:12There's going to be an assembly in Meritan in a month.
07:15We know.
07:15Oh.
07:16I'm going to be the one to tell Mama.
07:19This will mark my first assembly.
07:22My first venture into society.
07:25So it will.
07:29How might I secure a partner for dancing?
07:31I've always wondered.
07:33Oh, Mary, I'm sure your clever mind can work out something as simple as dance partners.
07:37Do not fret.
07:39Not.
07:39Not fretting.
07:40Let's time this morning.
07:42Let's go.
07:43Lizzie, will you help us?
07:46What?
07:46Right.
07:47Right.
07:48Sure.
07:49Yes, I thought you...
07:51Yes, I thought you...
07:52Some of you, darling.
08:01Oh.
08:03We'll have fun, Lizzie.
08:06I'm going to fill my card for dance.
08:09Jane, do you think I shall be allowed to dance?
08:10Mary, move!
08:12Do you hope you're not going to stand this close at the assembly?
08:15Oh, we should have taken the long route.
08:17Oh, these are my good boots.
08:21All for you for wearing them.
08:24Down.
08:29Do you think russet would be too harsh for my complexion?
08:33I don't see why it should.
08:35It would match my eyes, I suppose.
08:36Your eyes are green.
08:39You are so inattentive.
08:45Mr. Thompson told me himself I was the first to know that the ball is confirmed.
08:49We were the first?
08:50I was the first. He was stood a little behind me.
08:52It is wonderful. What will I wear?
08:55Are Kitty and Lydia allowed to attend the ball, Father?
08:58Why would we not be? I was the one that found out about it.
09:00Am I allowed?
09:03Jane, Lizzie, you will of course go. And marry.
09:05Father, I shall die if I do not go.
09:08I'll probably die too.
09:09I very much doubt that.
09:10Mr. Bennet, Kitty and Lydia will also need to find husbands.
09:15After Jane and Lizzie, of course.
09:20I don't see what the fuss is all about.
09:22Those horrible, sweaty affairs.
09:25Mary, you will attend.
09:28Oh.
09:30Oh, well, of course, Mother, if you wish.
09:34Lady Lucas and I will need someone to fetch us our drinks.
09:36As long as I am not expected to attend.
09:38Mr. Bennet.
09:39I told you, I will not attend another of those insufferable muddy little dancers.
09:44Oh!
09:45I wonder if Mr. Bingley will be going to the Meryton Assembly.
09:48Oh, he must be.
09:50Who would miss it?
09:52Me, apparently.
09:53You shall all go to the ball.
09:55As long as I am obliged to hear no more about it.
09:59I shall never be rid of you otherwise.
10:02Perhaps I shall dance with Bingley too.
10:04I'm me.
10:04This excitement over a man you've never set eyes on is quite ridiculous.
10:07Oh, Mary, we're only indulging ourselves.
10:17Mary is wearing spectacles.
10:19What on earth?
10:21Very good.
10:22I hope you find them most useful, Mary.
10:25I do, Father.
10:26Mr. Bennet.
10:27Did you know about this?
10:29We discussed this at length.
10:31Mary was to visit the optician.
10:33Yes.
10:33But I did not know that you would actually need to wear glasses.
10:37You seem to forget, my dear, that I wear spectacles myself.
10:41But she is a woman.
10:43Nevertheless, she ought to be able to see.
10:46I think they look very well.
10:51Potatoes, Mary.
10:55In case you couldn't see them.
10:58I think you're very brave to be prepared to look so ugly.
11:01Did you?
11:01But Papa, who is going to dance with Mary with those things on her face?
11:04Pleased to be able to read.
11:08Oh, I do hope you are to meet him.
11:10Surely we must.
11:12Spectacles, indeed.
11:14I wonder if it is...
11:16It's a shame.
11:17It's a shame.
11:18It's a shame.
11:18It's a shame, Lizzie.
11:20Mama!
11:21Kitty and I will meet new dresses for the walk.
11:31We're going to meet new dresses for the walk.
11:31If not, anything she takes a walk.
11:44It is a shame.
11:44Those are confused and sehr
12:11Maybe I could help you pick out a dress for the Merriton Assembly, Miss Mary.
12:16Oh, hell.
12:20What am I to do at a dance?
12:22Dance?
12:24Oh, what if no one wants to dance with me?
12:29Then you'll eat lots of ices.
12:32Such fripperies are not for me.
12:34I wonder, Miss Mary, if you don't see yourself clearly.
12:37If you're saying I don't bear comparison to my sisters, I've known that for years.
12:41A daffodil might look plain next to a lily, but on its own there is much to be admired.
12:47Now I am tall and yellow.
12:50Miss Mary, I wonder if you wouldn't be a little happier if you went out in the world and saw
12:58yourself how other people see you, outside of your family.
13:05Well, that's decided.
13:08I am picking you out a new dress for the Assembly.
13:12And I will not hear another word on the subject.
13:27Hang on!
13:28I've lost my ribbon!
13:32Found us!
13:39Madam, please remain still if you can.
13:49Does the gold make me look like them?
13:54A little.
13:57Kitty!
13:58What is it?
13:59Those are my books, Lydia.
14:00I cannot treat my jewellery box.
14:02I need something to stand on.
14:04This is important, Mary.
14:05You need to start getting ready, Miss Mary.
14:16Jane is first.
14:18That's not fair.
14:19I'm always last.
14:21Mary, you're last.
14:25Do you think I'll be able to dance on it?
14:28Does it still hurt?
14:28Yes.
14:29It was two weeks ago.
14:31I know.
14:33Should we eat beforehand?
14:35Perhaps a very small meal.
14:37And don't drink too much.
14:38But what if I'm thirsty?
14:39Lydia, I don't suppose you want to relieve yourself behind a screen in front of everyone?
14:43Lizzie!
15:20Is it too fine for me, do you think?
15:23You look very handsome in it.
15:37Kitty!
15:38You have taken my perfume.
15:39I have, I have.
15:40Miss Lydia, you haven't met you in perfume.
15:42Not in that scent.
15:43Is it too nice?
15:44Thanks, Danny.
15:47I have.
15:54We have to look for your face.
15:55Now I'm going and try to get out of this.
15:56I have to be okay to help you.
15:59I'm going and try to make my perfume.
16:02My feet are too happy.
16:04While she's doing that, we can't do that.
16:04So, you've got my ineq and I will finish with her.
16:06We have to practice today.
16:06I'll do the same thing.
16:06Well, I will do the same thing.
16:07Okay.
16:12You have to practice.
16:57I like your dress, Mary.
16:59Oh, Charlotte!
17:02What's that about?
17:03I swear, the crowd gets bigger every season.
17:05You should limit entry to those young ladies fortunate enough with secured partners.
17:10I thought the very same thing.
17:26Oh, yes.
17:46Mr. Bingley, welcome.
17:48These are my sisters, Louisa, and this is Caroline.
17:52This is Mr. Hurst and Mr. Darcy.
17:55And if I may present, Mrs. Bennet.
18:01Miss Jane Bennet.
18:03Miss Elizabeth Bennet.
18:05I do.
18:08Kitty and Lydia.
18:12Oh, and this is Miss Mary Bennet.
18:19The most accomplished girl in the whole neighborhood.
18:22That is a great achievement, to be sure.
18:25The study clearly trumps all other considerations in your mind.
18:29What an example to us all.
18:39If I could be so proud of us to ask for the stars.
18:42Oh, how are we delighted.
18:52Miss I.
19:00Miss Mary Bennet.
19:06Miss Mary Bennet.
19:07Miss Mary Bennet.
19:23You will not believe the insufferable company that Mr. Bingley keeps.
19:28What has happened?
19:29I overheard, quite accidentally, Mr. Bingley talking to that conceited gentleman lent against the wall there, a Mr. Darcy.
19:39Who said of me, she is tolerable, but not handsome enough to tempt me.
19:55Around we go!
20:01Excuse me, Miss Bennet.
20:04I do not mean to intrude, but it is very bad for your eyes to screw them up in such
20:08a fashion.
20:09Mr. Sparrow?
20:11Perhaps I may be permitted to help you find what you're looking for.
20:15I was looking for, uh, my sisters.
20:20Take his hand.
20:23I'm quite exhausted from all the dancing.
20:26I just chose to sit this one out.
20:29That is a shame.
20:32I was going to ask if you would do me the honour of standing up with me for the next
20:35dance.
20:37Actually, I'm now feeling much rested.
20:39And I would be delighted.
20:41Well then, I thank you.
20:44Oh, yes.
20:45Oh, yes.
20:46Oh.
20:47Shall we remain here until the next set is finished?
20:50Oh, I can't.
20:50That's exactly what I thought.
20:52Yeah.
21:01How are your spectacles?
21:03Very well.
21:04Yes, um, unable to study for hours without issue.
21:07I am delighted to hear that.
21:16Perhaps you could recommend a book to me.
21:18What do you read with such enjoyment?
21:23Well, Mrs. Catherine McCauley has written a wonderful account of British history.
21:27It's a fascinating read.
21:29I will seek it out.
21:30Oh, are you a scholar, sir?
21:32I like to read, but science rather than history.
21:35I have a plan to study medicine in London.
21:38Barts or maybe Morpheus.
21:41What a noble ambition.
21:43But it is not a thing widely known.
21:45I have not mentioned it to anyone before you.
21:49I shall speak of it to no one.
23:05I should have had less oyster patties.
23:09It's fewer.
23:11It's fewer oyster patties.
23:16Here we go!
23:35Here we go!
23:41Here we go!
24:02If you'd like a cold drink, Miss Benes.
24:06Yes, that's an excellent idea.
24:19It looks as though you are enjoying yourself, Mary.
24:23Your partner is the young John Sparrow, isn't he?
24:27Yes, the optician's son.
24:30And you have danced with him twice.
24:35Mary, you are very young.
24:37And perhaps do not fully appreciate how things are understood.
24:42If you are to dance with him again, it will be remarked upon.
24:44Two dances in succession suggest a liking.
24:47Three might imply something more.
24:53I'm very happy dancing with him.
25:08I see that you have stood up twice with the Sparrow boy.
25:13Yes, Mama.
25:15You will not dance with him again.
25:21But, Mother, he's been most attentive.
25:24He's quite the gentleman.
25:26Mary, his father owns a shop.
25:30Yes?
25:32With a bell.
25:36Mother, I have danced with him twice.
25:39I have no wish to marry him.
25:40You may not object to lowering yourself,
25:43but I will not have you ruin your sister's chances of a match.
26:09Would you care to dance again, Miss Bennet?
26:12Once we have finished our ices.
26:15Mr. Sparrow, I am afraid that I shall...
26:20I shall not be able to stand up with you again this evening.
26:23Oh.
26:25But I thought...
26:27I thought...
26:30I hope I have not offended you.
26:31No, no, no, not at all, sir.
26:33I've...
26:34Oh, I've...
26:34I've...
26:35very much enjoyed dancing with you.
26:39It's, um...
26:41That is to say that, um...
26:45My mother is concerned.
26:48Concerned?
26:48Uh, um, for my sisters and I.
26:51Um, it's important that we make an, uh, appropriate social, um,
26:58one might say, uh, financially, um, well, a suitable match.
27:04Miss Bennet, there is no need for an explanation.
27:07I shall not pursue the matter.
27:08I've enjoyed.
27:09I've enjoyed my time.
27:11Um...
27:11Good evening to you.
27:15I'm sorry.
27:16I'm...
27:17Sorry.
27:20Sorry.
27:29Of course.
27:49James stood up with him twice.
27:52I had little time for his friend.
27:55Please do not hold that against Mr. Bingley.
27:57Do you want me to go again, Sue?
27:58Yes.
28:00I danced with tea soldiers.
28:01I'm not very good with faces, so I'm not sure how many times I stood up with anyone.
28:05Ew!
28:06As my mother and sisters happily dissected every moment of the ball, I felt a terrible sense of shame.
28:13I had caused hurt to a man whose only crime was being kind to me.
28:21Who was I?
28:23A coward who lacked the courage to follow her own inclinations?
28:28It was time to find my own way.
28:31To look for a new version of myself.
28:35As a serious-minded woman.
28:38From now on, knowledge and reason would be my guide.
28:43No more ribbons, ball gowns, or dance cards.
28:47The old Mary would be no more.
28:50I would transform into the intellectual one.
28:54That was how I would stand out.
28:56As the other Bennet sister.
28:58No more ribbons, ball gowns, or dance cards.
