00:00.
00:22Miss Bennet.
00:26you are quite unlike anyone i have ever met you speak your mind with a with a refreshing directness
00:35and and you do not force yourself to conform to society's ideals i imagine it will come as
00:41no surprise when i say i have developed the greatest affection for you
00:53i cannot understand why a man such as mr rider would propose to mary oh shush perhaps he won't
01:00mother may have got her hopes up for nothing we shall never know his intentions if you two keep
01:04talking what is happening mr rider and mary are in the library and appear to be having a serious
01:11conversation i suppose most women of better looks and livelier character were already taken
01:15it cannot be a match driven by passion not all matches driven by passion turn out well
01:21lizzie i cannot hear what they are saying will you all just be quiet
01:27in these past few days i
01:32have felt a deeper understanding between us i believe you felt it too
01:38i i took to heart the things that you said if and you must for i believe we should be
01:48very happy
01:49together miss bennett i i have a mind to go abroad to italy somewhere with with a lake in front
01:57of me
01:57and a mountain behind lakes are usually found in mountainous areas i um no although some are found in
02:04dormant volcanic craters i cannot imagine going to italy without you miss bennett and therefore
02:12i wondered whether you might do me the greatest honor of coming with me
02:23well i we could read poetry all day and and drink wine all evening oh i do i like poetry
02:31and i like
02:32wine what we have loved others will love and we will teach them how let us teach each other i
02:40i don't
02:41speak any italian but i i suppose i could i could learn that's the spirit miss bennett this is why
02:47we
02:47are such a strong match you have the courage of my convictions
02:53how so you understand the appeal of living boldly living with freedom unburdened by the shackles of
03:01marriage sorry just to to be very clear um so you're suggesting that um i i live with you
03:10in italy but um that we remain unmarried yes exactly together but free
03:24for what woman wants to be owned in such a way oh what do you say
03:34i don't know what to say of course of course you must sleep on it but if you accept we
03:42could leave
03:42for london tomorrow and plan our trip to italy
04:07well mary come mary dear who would have thought you'd make such an excellent match
04:14i know i i i he didn't propose mama what do you mean he did not propose i mean that
04:22uh he called me
04:24in there to talk about um a sermon on uh good works mary this is no time for one of
04:34your poor
04:34attempts at humor mr rider showered you with attention only to pull you aside to discuss a sermon
04:44well we shall see about that i am sure mr rider will make his intentions clear in his own time
04:51yes yes he will mary i shall choose your dress for supper perhaps something of lizzie's
05:08uh interestingly uh charlotte oh mr collins looks as though you're all waiting for us
05:16we were not mrs bennett i am pleased to see you looking so well i see you didn't rush to
05:22pay your
05:22respects do not not wish to impose how are you um all i long to know everything
05:30well there is something of a situation involving mary thank you lydia we were just getting ready for
05:36supper come
05:43you sit up straight dear mary is looking very well tonight mr rider do you not agree
05:51i do indeed my daughters are a handsome set they most certainly are more wine mama this is the wine
06:01you requested and only one unmarried did you hear charlotte's news of longbourn mama in the
06:07drawing room we have opened up an orange how did you enjoy your ride this afternoon mr rider
06:12it was very pleasant excellent company mother mr darcy and i are thinking of holding a dinner in
06:20honor of your recovery hmm very good idea lizzie was it your horse miss bennett that picked these
06:28blackberries were everything is that what she was doing this afternoon well if it is i feel quite
06:33terrible now having dragged her away so you should rather delicious have you always lived in london
06:39mr rider i have although my plan is to move to italy quite soon italy how long for to settle
06:48for the
06:48rest of my days or for as long as my fancy takes me well wherever you choose you will need
06:57a
06:57knowledgeable companion by your side as you know mary reads a great deal she has a very well informed
07:05mind though do not let that put you off miss bennett is an extraordinary young woman young why italy for
07:13its history its beauty to wake up each morning to a view of a mountain ah in reality mountainous regions
07:21play havoc with one's rheumatism well i think that sounds quite perfect it really does you find long
07:28born tedious with its drafts i hardly think you would cope in mountains i will never know will i
07:38i did not know you spoke italian mr rider poco bless you
07:46i am quite looking forward to the peace and stillness of a foreign land yes yes it would be most
07:54welcome
08:07no i remember very well being the subject of mother's plotting it is quite a lot to bear isn't it
08:21engagements can take time it is no small decision and important not to rush if mr rider does not
08:29propose you must not think it is a reflection on you mr rider has already proposed
08:39that was a kind of proposal oh mr rider proposed that i live with him in italy reading poetry and
09:01drinking wine that sounds quite perfect that sounds quite perfect it does doesn't it it does i think
09:07i'd very much like to travel i would certainly rise to the challenge of a new language
09:13i have to give him my decision tomorrow morning
09:16well what did you mean by a kind of proposal mr rider believes that we should go to italy
09:27but remain unmarried
09:32he proposed that you should be his mistress not in those words i have never heard such a suggestion
09:36in my life oh well sadly lizzie i think most of us will never find ourselves in a romantic
09:40situation as perfect as yours but he insults you does not oh mr rider believes that women shouldn't
09:46be owned in such a way as marriage so he prefers a modern arrangement i'm sure he does one that
09:51is
09:51far more convenient for him if he tires of this arrangement he can easily move on whilst your
09:57reputation is ruined forever do you think he will tire of me of course not marry i
10:04marriage is the only thing a woman has to protect herself against such difficulties
10:08tell me you are not seriously considering his offer
10:13i mean i've begun to think i'm not i'm not much suited to conventional life
10:21i've i've always been the odd one out oh i know i know the scandal would be huge i know
10:29mother
10:30would be mortified but mr rider he treats me well he makes me laugh he is he is interested in
10:38me
10:56mr rider is clearly fond of you
11:01and it is admirable that he has his own way of seeing the world
11:10but you deserve better than this offer
11:16lizzie
11:18you have grown up with no shortage of suitors
11:20and you're at home too you have you've always been married we've had largely the same upbringing
11:26no no we may have grown up in the same house with the same mother and father and the same
11:31sisters
11:31but your experience of life has been wholly different to my own you were celebrated and you were you were
11:40respected i was not i mean for the rest of you even in your worst moments growing up you could
11:47look to me and think at least i'm not mary
11:51that's not true it's absolutely true but i always admired your strength that you never cared what mother or any
11:59of us thought
11:59of course i did
12:00well you always did things your own way that was the only way i knew
12:10mary
12:12all i want is to protect you
12:14oh
12:15or protect yourself
12:16from whatever shame i might bring on the family
12:22how could you think such a thing
12:39do you love mr rider
12:41when you think so
12:44do you do it
13:09and I have to go because I learned from myPHONE
13:11Oh, all right.
13:14Thank you, sir.
13:20Here you are, sir.
13:24Ah, yes.
13:26Yes, sir.
13:28Ah, good morning, Miss Bennet.
13:31Good morning.
13:32And it is a perfect morning for travelling.
13:41I have enjoyed these last few days with you enormously.
13:46You have been a beam of light in the darkness.
13:50And I do not know what I would have done without your company.
13:55I have felt the same way.
14:03But I cannot accept your interesting proposal.
14:13I thought that you and I were aligned.
14:17I appreciate how important your ideas are to you.
14:20I know how strongly you feel about freedom in love.
14:30But, well, I am still very much bound by the expectations of society.
14:38And the expectations I have.
14:41For myself.
14:47Of course.
14:49I see.
14:52Goodbye, Mr Ryder.
14:57My best wishes to your family.
15:32Good morning, Mary.
15:35Mother.
15:36I trust you slept well last night?
15:39I did.
15:40Yes, thank you.
15:41You must keep up your strength.
15:43Who knows what today may bring?
15:47Ah, here he is.
15:50Oh, what are you doing here?
15:52Oh, I was...
15:54Do join us, cousin.
15:56Where on earth is Mr Ryder?
15:59Ah, Mr Ryder has left.
16:01Don't be ridiculous, Mr Collins.
16:03He has no plans to leave.
16:05I saw him.
16:06I saw him climb into his carriage and go.
16:11Mary?
16:12Yes, Mr Ryder has left.
16:14He's left Bemberley.
16:15Did he make you an offer of marriage?
16:20I will not be marrying Mr Ryder.
16:25I will not be marrying anyone.
16:28What did you do?
16:30I'm sure Mary didn't do anything.
16:32Why is everything with you so relentlessly disappointing?
16:39Beautiful morning.
16:53Mother, I am sorry if I have disappointed you.
16:58I sometimes think you delight in vexing me.
17:02I do not.
17:05It is not too late.
17:08Too late for what, Mother?
17:11To write to Mr Ryder and beg his forgiveness.
17:15His forgiveness?
17:17For whatever it is you did that drove him away.
17:22Oh, do you really believe a man of such means will come along again for you?
17:29But I...
17:30Do you think the gardeners will have you back when they hear what you have done to Mr Ryder?
17:35Mother...
17:36If you will not write to him and ask him to return, then I shall write to my brother and
17:41tell him you are obliged to stay here with me.
17:46If you are incapable of taking advantage of the opportunities London society offers you in finding you a match, then
17:55you shall remain here with me instead.
18:25If you will not write to him, then you shall remain here with me instead.
18:27Good luck with Mother.
18:30Bye to you, honey.
18:56You make it worse.
19:07Mary, don't do that.
19:11Sorry, Mother.
19:14You endlessly try my patience.
19:19Come on.
19:20I don't know.
19:21Enough.
19:22No, no, but please, I'll...
19:38Do not leave on my account, Miss Bennet.
19:42Oh, sorry.
19:43I cannot provide good company today.
19:48Um...
19:48I've noticed you've been most subdued of late.
19:52If I can be very help, do you say we men of the cloth can offer the most useful counsel?
19:58Thank you, Mr Collins.
20:01I am, um...
20:03I'm often alone myself.
20:05Mrs Collins has so many duties and preoccupations that she has very little time left to spend with me.
20:11Oh.
20:12It seems I have the habit of frustrating her.
20:18As I tend to do everyone.
20:21No, not at all, Mr Collins.
20:25My father often commented that I was worthless.
20:29I thought a great deal about turning myself into something different, someone easy and obliging, but somehow I can't.
20:42I've always struck the wrong note with people, even in childhood.
20:49I felt the same way, many times.
20:52Um...
20:53I...
20:54I think you have much to offer, Mr Collins.
21:00Uh...
21:01Excuse me, I realise I'm now burdening you with my troubles.
21:04No, not at all.
21:07Hmm.
21:08What are you reading?
21:10Hmm?
21:11Oh, um...
21:14Aristotle.
21:15I am looking into the question of happiness.
21:23Happiness?
21:24Hmm.
21:26What it is.
21:28How one might find it.
21:33Do you, um...
21:34Do you have an answer?
21:38Well...
21:38I'm not quite sure.
21:41I, uh...
21:41I've found some points of interest.
21:45Please, would you tell me what you know, Mr Collins?
21:50Oh, um...
21:51What I have discovered seems to suggest that it is only through self-knowledge that genuine happiness is experienced.
21:58Through self-knowledge?
22:00Hmm.
22:00I think it is only when we have examined and understood our strengths and weaknesses and been honest enough about
22:08what we truly desire from life, only then do you have any chance at all of attaining happiness.
22:17So, what Aristotle is saying is that our happiness is in our own hands?
22:28Yes.
22:30Oh.
22:30I think so, yes.
22:32Interesting thought, isn't it?
22:35It's most interesting.
22:43It must be Mr. Ryder coming back to try again.
22:51Oh!
22:53Oh!
22:57Oh!
23:01Uncle...
23:02Mary!
23:05Jane!
23:16You reminded us of the importance of protecting our health.
23:21And so Edward and I have decided to spend some much-needed time in the lakes.
23:26Hmm.
23:26Wonderful.
23:27Quite wonderful.
23:28All that wind would play havoc with my nerves.
23:31And we were wondering whether Mary might join us.
23:35Mary?
23:35Yes.
23:36We thought perhaps Mary could join us in the lakes and then return with us to London.
23:40Elizabeth wrote to us explaining that Mary was without much to occupy her here.
23:45She has a very good occupation.
23:47She is my companion.
23:49I think it's a very sensible idea for Mary to get some fresh air.
23:52Oh, do you now?
23:53What do you think, Mary?
23:55Mary will not leave me.
23:57She knows I do not have many years left.
23:59And she wants to spend this precious time at my side.
24:03Isn't that right, Mary?
24:06Mother, Mr. Darcy and I have arranged a new companion for you.
24:12She's called Susan.
24:14Susan?
24:15Am I to be looked after by a Susan?
24:19We very much enjoy Mary's company.
24:22As do I.
24:23And knowing her passion for wordsworth...
24:25Forbidden to leave.
24:31Aunt.
24:33Uncle.
24:35Thank you for your invitation.
24:41I would be delighted to join you.
24:44What do you mean?
24:45I think, dear sister, she means she will be joining us in the Lake Districts.
24:50What a good idea.
24:52A good decision, Mary.
24:53Well done.
24:54A most excellent decision.
24:56Always good to challenge oneself.
24:57Oh, do be quiet, Mr. Collins.
25:00Well done, Mary.
25:02Well done.
25:03You should probably go and pack.
25:05I will help.
25:19I envy you.
25:23You envy me?
25:24The lakes.
25:26London.
25:27I never did experience much of life.
25:30It is a bold and brave decision, Mary.
25:33And for what it's worth, I think it's the right one.
25:41Forgive me, Charlotte.
25:43I don't want to speak out of turn.
25:46I mean, I often have.
25:50Only you seem...
25:54quite unhappy.
26:03When my mother told me the only choice for a woman was marriage or misery,
26:09she negated to tell me it was possible to be both married and miserable.
26:17Yes, well, my father let us in on that particular secret some years ago.
26:22Yes.
26:23But I do believe that if you look a little under the surface,
26:29you will find more to Mr. Collins than you imagine.
26:38Goodbye, Mother.
26:41I will write.
26:44As you wish.
26:48Susan!
26:51Susan!
27:01Mary, I am so sorry if you have ever felt that I was ashamed of you.
27:07For I am not.
27:09I am very proud of you.
27:19I am so sorry.
27:20I am so scared, Lizzy.
27:23What if I made all the wrong decisions?
27:32Mary, you will flourish.
27:48I had made my escape and would not look back.
27:53I did not know what was next, but I knew that I could not return to live with my family
27:59ever again.
28:00Hey, Miss Bennet, Miss Bennet, I have something for you.
28:10Thank you, Mr. Collins.
28:29Could it be that I decide my future?
28:34I felt sure that the lakes would offer me a chance for peace and reflection.
28:38Oh, Mary, I ought to have told you, Tom Haywood will be joining us in the lakes.
28:44I should have known that my life was never that simple.
29:20You
