00:22Dear Mother,
00:25I write to let you know that I will not be joining you at Pemberley just yet.
00:30As I am still very much needed in London.
00:33The Gardener's governess has indeed returned, but we find ourselves quite overrun with social engagements.
00:42You will be excited to hear that I have been invited to one of Lady Winspear's weekly balls.
00:48I am very much looking forward to it.
00:53I miss you all.
00:54I miss you all.
00:58Yours, Mary.
01:03The Gardener's governess has returned from Norfolk, has she not?
01:06Yes, yes, a week ago.
01:08Well then, the ball is perfectly timed for you to find a husband.
01:14A husband?
01:15Whatever else do you plan to do?
01:20Someone who was once a friend told me that a woman has two choices in life, marriage or misery.
01:27What do you think?
01:29Mary, it's not too late for marriage, if that's what you're asking me.
01:33And I do believe it's the better choice, but I'm not the only one.
01:38Some marriages are miserable.
01:40I agree.
01:42I mean, I did once try to find a husband, but it was unsuccessful.
01:48My mother has always said no one will marry a girl in spectacles.
01:52Mary, that is nonsense.
01:53What a terrible thing for your mother to say.
01:57Well, you may not have had luck in the past, but this time it's different.
02:02This time, you have me.
02:05Under my tutelage, you will become the star of London society.
02:11It's all about confidence.
02:13A certain coolness.
02:15I think you care too much.
02:17Really?
02:18Hmm.
02:20Have you ever polished your skin?
02:28We put this in the pipkin, and the pipkin in the fire until the wax melts.
02:32Then we spread it on your face.
02:33You're going to look radiant, Mary.
02:36I'm going to smell like soup.
02:41What on earth?
02:53There.
02:54Thanks.
03:06Mary, you have stew on your face.
03:19Oh, now we need to work on your walk.
03:23Step into the room like you are Lady Winspear herself.
03:36Walk normally.
03:44I'm excited for you, Mary.
03:46New love is the most romantic thing.
03:49New love?
03:50Yes, the first throws.
03:52Oh, you must not take it for granted, because the feelings soon pass, and then everything becomes quite ordinary.
04:00It's almost impossible to remember how one felt at the beginning.
04:06Now walk.
04:07Shoulders back.
04:08Chin up.
04:09Chin down.
04:11Chin up a little.
04:12Don't look scared.
04:13Quite hard not to.
04:18Remember, you are only allowed two dancers with the same partner.
04:21Make eye contact fleetingly with the men you want to dance with, and avoid the eyes of those you do
04:26not.
04:27If a man asks you to dance, do not look too happy, nor too disappointed, depending on who he is.
04:33You must look nonchalant.
04:36Carefree.
04:42Mary, think back to those times in your childhood when you had not a care in the world.
04:53Hmm.
04:54Hmm.
05:11Remember, Mary, the most important thing is to be yourself.
05:29Oh, look.
05:37Isn't it beautiful?
05:39It means...
05:51Do not fret.
05:53The night has only just begun.
05:58Good evening.
05:59Mary, Miss Baxter, Miss Bennet.
06:01Doesn't Miss Bennet look beautiful?
06:04Well, as do you.
06:06Anne?
06:08Well.
06:13Mr. Hayward, how would you like to dance with Miss Bennet?
06:17No, I know.
06:18I couldn't.
06:18It will show how eligible you are.
06:24I don't suppose you have much room for me on your card.
06:27But if there is, I would be very glad to dance with you.
06:30Oh, well, um, there might, there might be.
06:33Let me just check.
06:37Yes.
06:38Yes.
06:39We could dance.
06:41Thank you, Mr. Hayward.
06:49Mr. Hayward, how are you?
06:53Miss Bennet.
06:55I'm very well.
06:58How are you?
06:59Good morning.
07:03Two, two, three.
07:05Two, two, three.
07:13Sorry.
07:15Sorry.
07:39I love you.
07:51I love you.
08:21Thank you, Miss Payne.
08:23Miss Bennet.
08:30What a fine minuet.
08:35Oh, now you two.
08:36You must dance together.
08:38Um, I'm going to go and...
08:41Oh, Mary, do you mind?
08:42Oh, I think...
08:48Oh, I think...
08:53Oh, I think...
08:59Oh, I think...
09:23Excuse me...
09:27It's you.
09:28It is indeed.
09:29William Ryder.
09:30Of course, Mr. Ryder.
09:32Oh, well, it is a pleasure to see you again so soon.
09:38Would you like to dance?
09:40Well, um, perhaps later.
09:42My feet are quiet.
09:43Ah.
09:45Well, let us sit and gather your strength.
10:10I find these occasions really quite intolerable.
10:13All these poor young ladies parading about, bearing the weight of their parents' expectations.
10:19It's not in the least romantic.
10:21I think these occasions mean a great deal to many young women, and for good reason.
10:27None of them wants to fail.
10:32But, doesn't it seem to you, Miss Bennet, that most people give far too much weight to the idea of
10:39marriage?
10:39Because for some people, that is their only means of survival.
10:43In matters of men and women, the only thing that should guide us is the heart.
10:49Do you really believe that to be true?
10:52Well, I believe we should sweep away these tired old rules and follow our inclinations as we wish.
11:04I think you will find, Mr. Ryder, that the liberty in such situations tends to be enjoyed by the man.
11:11Well, the consequences are born, quite literally in many cases, by the woman.
11:19Now, perhaps you're right.
11:21I know I am.
11:30Dance with me, Miss Bennet.
11:33Come on.
11:35Come on.
12:00It's supposed to be fun, I think.
12:05You are allowed to breathe while you dance, Miss Bennet.
12:07I am breathing.
12:09I heard that you are a great reader of very serious books.
12:15I'm reading Wordsworth, currently.
12:18Ah, but what do you really enjoy reading, Miss Bennet?
12:22Histories.
12:24No, no, no, no, no, I mean, what's your secret indulgence?
12:30What I really enjoyed reading, as a child, were the servants' pamphlets.
12:37They detail the most grisly cries.
12:41I knew there was a bold and curious side to you, Miss Bennet.
12:45I had to hide them from my mother.
12:47I bet you did.
12:54Oh, my gosh.
12:55Look at her.
13:20I did not trip.
13:22I did not trip.
13:24It was a deliberate embellishment of the gavotte.
13:27mary miss baxter i was just about to ask miss bennett to dance again
13:33oh uh thank you mr rider but i will sit this one out
13:37ah then allow me to fetch you both some ices ladies

13:55took much notice of his looks mary i did not well he certainly noticed you kind of you to say
14:03but

17:17she seems to delight in being horrible to me
17:21i have no idea what i've done to provoke her
17:23did she not once fancy herself as marrying your sister's husband
17:27mr darcy
17:28she did
17:29yes
17:30perhaps she feels threatened by you
17:35caroline bingley is not threatened by me
17:39she's better than me
17:40i know that
17:42very well
17:44she's always beautifully dressed
17:46and she has extraordinary confidence
17:48she does not appear to lack confidence that is certain
17:52perhaps underneath that brittle exterior
17:55lies doubts and insecurities the same as everyone else
17:59and she treats you as though you're beneath her
18:01to make herself feel good
18:03it riles her to see you blossoming in london
18:07blossoming

18:10you smile more
18:12and you laugh
18:14well i've

20:35how refreshing it is

21:57that's
21:58I
21:58you
21:58I
21:59I
21:59Mr. Hurst, have you ever read Catherine Macaulay's work?
22:03No.
22:03She's most insightful on democracy, if you're interested.
22:07No.
22:14What think you of James Hutton's theory that the Earth is perpetually being formed?
22:20I have no interest in geology.
22:23What do you like, Mr. Hurst?
22:28Horses.
22:29Horses.
22:29Oh.
22:30I know so little about horse racing.
22:32I would be honoured if you would teach me all you know.
22:35We won't have time for that.
22:37Let's just see how we get on.
22:40Right.
22:42Right.
22:45Four legs.
22:48Cannot vomit.
22:50Beautiful creatures.
22:52Beautiful.
22:52Almost too beautiful.
22:54More intelligent than anyone at this table.
22:58Perhaps if I was to construct a horse, then we'd know.
23:01I appreciate that.
23:01Right.
23:02I've done this before.
23:03I'm sure I can do it again.
23:04Fascinating.
23:05These are the front legs.
23:06Here.
23:07We call these the cloppers.
23:09Back legs.
23:11The clippers.
23:12Ah.
23:12Clip-clop.
23:13Right?
23:14You see what I'm saying?
23:15You do not want to stand behind a horse.
23:17You do not want to do...
23:21What can a horse do?
23:23You tell me.
23:24Well, it can run, but it can also break your heart.
23:29I can see it.
23:30That is our horse.
23:32What shall we name it?
23:34Gerald.
23:35Gerald.
23:36Gerald.
23:37Let's enter him at York.
23:40Probably faster than the horse I bet on last week.
23:47Thank you, sir.
23:50I shall never wager any significant amount of money without consulting you first.
23:55Ah.
24:02Miss Bennet.
24:03I was hoping to speak to you.
24:07Really?
24:07Well, I couldn't let this evening pass without having the privilege of talking to you properly.
24:13It's a shame, then, that you chose to seat me so far from you at dinner.
24:20You met Lady Catherine once, did you not?
24:23I did.
24:25Only recently we were talking about your family, and she confessed herself astonished at the great difference between you and
24:31your sisters.
24:32She felt that you were not as handsome as Elizabeth, nor as provoking, not as beautiful as Jane, nor as
24:41willing as Kitty, and, well, who could measure up to Lydia's joie de vivre?
24:50It was very candid of her.
24:52She is known for her frankness.
24:54I sometimes wonder if frankness isn't just a poor excuse for unkindness.
25:02Tell me, Miss Bennet, do you intend to marry?
25:07Let's assume we all must marry in the end.
25:12Perhaps you might allow me to offer you a little advice.
25:16If you wish.
25:17It seems to me that a great deal of time is thrown away in pursuit of attachments that can never
25:25come to anything, such as Mr. Ryder.
25:32Do you mean to suggest that I'm pursuing Mr. Ryder?
25:36Or that he is pursuing me?
25:39For both are quite without foundation.
25:42And yet it seems you do all you can to please him.
25:45I cannot imagine why else he would speak of you as he does.
25:49What do you mean?
25:50Confine yourself to your proper sphere, Miss Bennet.
25:54Presumptions of this kind only lead to disappointment and humiliation, where matters of the heart are concerned.
26:04You seem to know a great deal about rejection.
26:08Is this a lesson you've learned from extensive study?
26:12Or do you perhaps owe it to experience of a more personal nature?
26:21Oh, Miss Bingley.
26:26Miss Bingley, welcome to the game.
26:28I fear I'm in bad news today.
26:33It was a very thorough lesson in horse racing.
26:36You had a dinner.
26:38Miss Bennet.
26:38Ah.
26:40It was, yes.
26:42Most interesting.
26:44I wanted to say that...
26:47I wanted to ask...
26:49Or that is to say, I had noticed at the ball that Mr. Ryder had occupied a great deal of
26:54your time.
26:56And he often acts without thinking.
26:57So I'd be very glad to ask him to be more restrained if that is what you would like.
27:04Mr. Gardner, I very much enjoy his company.
27:08I don't know if you're in case it's the children.
27:10I see.
27:14No, I...
27:14Of course, I...
27:15No, no, no.
27:15Forgive my intrusion.
27:16No, that is to say, I'm...
27:18I'm not...
27:19Who is drawn to him?
27:21...Bennet girl.
27:22The one you said was plain.
27:23Oh, the governess.
27:25She was the only one of the five not to marry.
27:27Can you imagine?
27:28She didn't look very plain to me.
27:30She was tolerant.
27:31And you can see Ryder's interest in her.
27:33If I were him, I'd snap her up before some other fellow does.
27:37Excuse me.
27:37I believe Miss Bennet would like to sing for us.
27:42How lovely, Mary.
27:44Oh, I have no wish to do anything of the sort.
27:46Come on, Miss Bennet, you must sing.
27:48Sing!
27:50Sing!
27:51Sing!
27:52Sing!
27:53Sing!
27:54Sing!
27:55Sing!
27:56Sing!
27:58Sing!
27:59Sing!
27:59Sing!
28:00Sing!
28:02Sing!
28:03Sing!
28:05Mary.
28:06Mary.
28:06We must get you to Pemberley.
28:08Immediately.
28:08We have received an urgent letter.
28:10Your mother's been taken gravely ill.
28:12Oh.
28:13Take our carriage and go.
28:14Now.
28:15Oh!
28:16Oh!
28:18Kevin.
28:20Oh, man.
28:26Come on, Mary.
28:27You must hurry.
28:28Come, dear.
28:30It's all right.
28:37It's all right.
28:53And we're doing.
28:57Yeah.
29:00Oh!
29:03Oh!
29:04Oh!
