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.
10:33The city smoke is particularly heavy today.
10:35And it just seems to have...
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.
11:50Yes.
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.
12:08About reading.
12:10About the wearing of spectacles.
12:14And about potential matches.
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.
13:27Mary, what on earth are you thinking?
13:30Mother, I'm sorry to disappoint you, again,
13:34but 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.
13:53Yes, 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 by whom?
14:14Mary, please, call Mr. Ryder back
14:17and accept his offer.
14:19I do not love him.
14:21Mama, I've not waited all this time
14:23just 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.
14:32At the time, I thought I was helping our family remain at Longmore.
14:35And now there is a handsome, wealthy man willing to overlook your shortcomings
14:40and you have turned him away.
14:41Because I have changed.
14:43Well, change back again.
14:50Charlotte once told me
14:52that my options were marriage or misery.
14:56But I have seen many miserable marriages.
15:02And meanwhile, I've experienced much joy in life on my own.
15:08What will you do without a husband?
15:11How will you survive?
15:12I will work as 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 on 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
16:26to discuss your future
16:28seemed only to rile him.
16:31I was quite
16:33alone.
16:38You and I
16:40always 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
16:59you 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
17:11with it.
17:16I did not want you
17:18to be left
17:18behind.
17:31Goodbye, Mother.
17:42Jane.
17:52Send our love to Lizzie.
17:58Goodbye, Jane.
18:19Mary, I have to say,
18:21I don't think I've ever seen
18:22anyone stand up to your mother
18:23as 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
18:40without a home of my own
18:41I'll
18:42I shall never get to
18:43choose my own wallpaper.
18:46You can always choose
18:47some for your room,
18:49Mary, if you like.
18:53Do you think I've done
18:53the wrong thing?
18:56in not marrying
18:57Mr. Ryder?
18:59Not at all, Mary.
19:02I've learned
19:03a great deal from him.
19:05He's a man
19:06that finds joy
19:07in life
19:07and there's much
19:08to be admired about him.
19:10But you do not love him.
19:13No.
19:17You love
19:18someone else?
19:24Where has he gone?
19:30I wish I knew.
19:44Miss Bennet,
19:46there is a visitor
19:47to see you
19:48in the drawing room.
19:50Miss Bingley.
20:00Ah.
20:04Ah.
20:06Ah.
20:07Ah.
20:08Ah.
20:08Ah.
20:11Ah.
20:13Miss Bennet,
20:14I
20:14wanted to
20:16thank you
20:18for
20:18what 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 I have come
20:46to ask
20:47that you
20:49leave him alone.
20:51Oh, Miss Bingley,
20:53you are
20:54much better suited
20:55to Mr. Ryder
20:56than I am.
20:56Oh, you don't mean
20:57that.
20:57I do.
20:58I do.
20:59Mr. Ryder
20:59is a dear friend
21:02but he and I
21:04we were never
21:04a match.
21:10The truth is
21:16it was always
21:17Mr. Hayward
21:17for me
21:20but it is not
21:20to be.
21:22Really?
21:23Tom Hayward?
21:26Surely
21:26he is attainable.
21:29Seems not.
21:31He has
21:32disappeared.
21:35Well, well.
21:49Perhaps I shall
21:50call for you
21:52sometime, Miss Bennet.
21:54Yes, we could
21:55read poetry
21:56together.
22:00Goodbye, Miss
22:01Bennet.
22:01Goodbye, Miss
22:02Bingley.
22:22And so it was
22:24that I carved out
22:25my own path.
22:27I stayed in London
22:29and became
22:30a governess.
22:32And became a governess.
22:34Over time,
22:35I worried a little
22:36less about the
22:37approval of others.
22:40And though the life
22:41I 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.
23:10Miss Bennet!
23:14Miss Bennet!
23:17Miss Bennet!
23:19Miss Bennet!
23:28Mr. Hayward.
23:51Mrs. Gardner said
23:52I might find you
23:52here.
23:57Miss Bennet,
23:58I...
23:58Where have you
23:59been?
24:03Yorkshire.
24:05What do you mean
24:06Yorkshire?
24:07You can't just
24:08say Yorkshire
24:09as if Yorkshire's
24:10an entirely
24:11reasonable explanation
24:11for your very
24:12sudden
24:13and somewhat
24:13lengthy
24:14disappearance.
24:16After what you
24:17say...
24:17I'm sorry,
24:18Mary,
24:18please,
24:18please,
24:19let me explain.
24:22Well,
24:23you're here now,
24:25Mr. Hayward.
24:26Do go on.
24:33Well,
24:33we were in the
24:34lakes.
24:35The legal
24:36matter that
24:37Mr. Ryder
24:37asked me to
24:38attend to
24:38was his
24:39inheriting
24:39the fortune
24:40of Lady
24:41Catherine
24:42de Bourgh.
24:44And I knew
24:45quite clearly
24:45from Ryder's
24:46incredibly
24:47irritating
24:48behaviour
24:49that he
24:50had a liking
24:51for you,
24:51as I also
24:52had.
24:56As I also
24:56have.
24:59It is such
25:00a liking,
25:01in fact,
25:02that when I
25:02learned of
25:03Mr. Ryder's
25:04good fortune
25:04and his plan
25:05to make you
25:05an offer
25:05of marriage,
25:06I thought...
25:06I thought
25:08it in your
25:08best interest
25:08that I
25:09graciously
25:09step aside.
25:10Nevertheless,
25:11my actions
25:12in the mountain...
25:13You thought
25:13it in my
25:14best interests
25:15to graciously
25:16step aside.
25:18So your
25:19disappearance
25:20was, in fact,
25:21you being
25:22gracious to me.
25:27you and Mr. Ryder
25:29between you
25:29thought that you
25:30would just
25:30decide on my
25:31fate and I
25:32would just
25:32accept it,
25:33like I'm a
25:35great old
25:36cat.
25:36If you put it
25:37like that,
25:37it does not
25:38sound good.
25:38Why didn't you
25:39just ask me
25:40what I thought?
25:41I was reading
25:41between the lines.
25:42There were no
25:43lines, Mr. Hayward.
25:44There were no
25:46lines.
25:46I know I will
25:47never be able to
25:48offer you what
25:48Mr. Ryder can.
25:51I have had to
25:52work for
25:52everything that
25:53I have, and
25:55I thought you
25:55deserved better
25:56than that.
25:59That you
25:59deserved better
26:00than me, but
26:00now I realise
26:03I will not know
26:04what you want
26:04unless I ask.
26:06So I must tell
26:07you I cannot
26:07offer you great
26:08wealth or
26:09Italy, but I
26:11can offer you
26:12my love and
26:15my devotion and
26:16my hope to
26:16build a family
26:17one day.
26:23Mr. Hayward,
26:26if you had
26:27asked me what
26:28I wanted, I
26:29would have told
26:29you I never
26:30wanted Mr. Ryder.
26:31I have never
26:32loved Mr. Ryder.
26:34I love you.
26:36I have only
26:37ever loved you.
26:39I love you.
26:41I have always
26:42loved you from
26:43the very first
26:44time I caught
26:45you playing
26:45graces on your
26:46own when you
26:47thought no one
26:47was at home.
26:51I have spent
26:52my life on
26:53the outside
26:54of things, but
26:54with you, I am
26:56right in the
26:56middle of it
26:57all.
27:06Mary Bennet, would
27:07you do me the
27:08very great honor
27:09of becoming
27:09my wife?
27:17Yes.
27:20Yes.
27:22Yes.
27:29That was his last
27:30right away, Mr. Hayward,
27:32in case you didn't catch it.
27:34Mary, I think now that we've
27:36guessed you could probably
27:36call me Tom.
27:38Stop.
27:54Wait, what made you come back?
27:56Oh, I received a letter.
27:59From Caroline Bingley.
28:01What?
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.
28:15Yes.
28:18My only wish is that we could thank her,
28:20but she has left London.
28:22She's gone to Italy in pursuit of Mr. Ryder.
28:27Now?
28:28Yes.
28:28Yes.
28:30No.
28:31Yes.
28:34I know.
28:38Oh.

28:48And so it was
28:50that I married him.
28:52But on my own terms,
28:54in my own time.

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.
29:30Hmm.
29:36Oh.
29:38And that is the last of them.

29:50It's Tyrion?
29:51Yes, from the Greek myth
29:52about Hercules' dog
29:53trying a spiny murex sea snail.
29:55I didn't know Hercules had a dog.
29:58Keep up, Thomas.
30:01I am trying.
30:03I am trying.
30:08What's next?
30:10Spring green.
30:12In the drawing room.
