TVTranscript
00:22Dear Mother,
00:25I write to let you know that I will not be joining you at Pemberley
00:29just yet, as I am still very much needed in London.
00:33The Gardener's Governess has indeed returned,
00:36but we find ourselves quite overrun with social engagements.
00:42You will be excited to hear that I have been invited
00:45to one of Lady Winspear's weekly balls.
00:48I am very much looking forward to it.
00:53I miss you all.
01:00Yours, 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, whatever else do you plan to do?
01:20Someone who was once a friend told me that a woman has two choices in life,
01:25marriage 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?
02:18Have 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.
02:34You're going to look radiant, Mary.
02:36I'm going to smell like soup.
02:42What on earth?
02:53There.
02:54Thanks.
03:07Mary, you have stew on your face.
03:09Ah.
03:20Oh, 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.
03:51The first throws.
03:52Oh, you must not take it for granted.
03:54Because 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.
04:10Chin up a little.
04:12Don't look scared.
04:13Quite hard not to.
04:17Remember.
04:18You are only allowed two dancers with the same partner.
04:22Make eye contact fleetingly with the men you want to dance with, and avoid the eyes of those you do
04:26not.
04:26If 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.
04:41Mary.
04:42Mary.
04:43Think back to those times in your childhood when you had not a care in the world.
04:53Hmm.
04:54Hmm.
05:12Remember, Mary, the most important thing is to be yourself.
05:36Isn't it beautiful?
05:39Isn't it beautiful?
05:52Do not fret.
05:53The night has only just begun.
05:58Good evening.
05:59Miss Baxter.
06:00Miss Bennet.
06:01Doesn't Miss Bennet look beautiful?
06:03No.
06:03Well, as do you.
06:06Anne?
06:08Well.
06:14Mr. Haywing, how would you like to dance with Miss Bennet?
06:17No, I know.
06:18I think it will show how eligible you are.
06:23Well, I don't suppose you have much room for me on your card.
06:28But if there is, I would be very glad to dance with you.
06:30Oh, well, 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?
07:00Say, Mr. Hayward.
07:00Ho, my god.
07:04I'm very good.
07:11Go through.
07:13I'm very good.
07:14Sorry, sorry, sorry.
07:16I'm very good.
07:16Oh, God.
07:24Oh, God.
08:21Thank you, Miss Cain.
08:23Miss Bennett.
08:30What a fine minuet.
08:35Oh, now you two, you must dance together.
08:38Um, I'm going to go and...
08:41Oh, Mary, do you mind?
09:08Oh, I can see you there.
09:13Oh, I have a great...
09:23Excuse me.
09:26It'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?
09:41Well, perhaps later.
09:42My feet are quiet.
09:45Then let us sit and gather your strength.
10:10I find these occasions really quite intolerable.
10:14All 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 Bennett, 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?
10:53Well, 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 borne, quite literally in many cases, by the woman.
11:19Perhaps you're right.
11:21I know I am.
11:30Dance with me, Miss Bennett.
11:33Come on.
12:00It's supposed to be fun, I think.
12:05You are allowed to breathe while you dance, Miss Bennett.
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 Bennett?
12:22Histories.
12:24No, I mean, what's your secret indulgence?
12:29Well, I really enjoyed reading, as a child.
12:34With a servant's pamphlet.
12:37They detail the most grisly cries.
12:41I knew there was a bold and curious sigh to you, Miss Bennett.
12:45I had to hide them from my mother.
12:47I bet you did.
12:54Oh, my gosh, look at her.
13:20I did not trip.
13:22I did not trip.
13:24It was a deliberate embellishment of the Gavotte.
13:27Mary?
13:28Miss Baxter, I was just about to ask Miss Bennet to dance again.
13:33Oh, uh, thank you, Mr Ryder, but I will sit this one out.
13:37Ah, then allow me to fetch you both some ices, ladies.
13:44He might be handsome, Mary, but beware.
13:47He also fancies himself above all the rules that govern the rest of us.
13:50He enjoys the privileges of his class, as well as good looks.
13:54I cannot say I took much notice of his looks.
13:57Mary, I did not.
13:59Well, he certainly noticed you.
14:02That's kind of you to say, but he doesn't think of me in that way.
14:05And actually, that makes this much more enjoyable.
14:10We were just talking about Mr Ryder.
14:13Yes, we're your Ryder.
14:16I, sis.
14:17Oh, thank you.
14:19And the biggest one for Miss Mary Bennet.
14:24Oh, Hayward, don't look so downhearted.
14:26Here, you can have mine.
14:27I wouldn't dream of taking yours.
14:29Oh, well.
14:31Mr Hayward, I seem to have found myself without a partner for the next dance.
14:36I'm quite tired.
14:43But I would love to dance.
14:54Oh, well, Miss Bennet, how good to see you again.
15:00Oh, are you two ladies already acquainted?
15:04Oh, I have known Miss Bennet for some years.
15:06Oh.
15:07Pianist, singer, raconteur.
15:10My brother married her sister.
15:13I heard you were a governess in London, though I didn't think it had quite come to that.
15:19I'm no longer in that position.
15:21So, you are in London for a husband?
15:25No.
15:30Miss Bennet is a radical thinker.
15:33Is she now?
15:34Well, it makes me all the more glad to be spending the foreseeable future here, where I can be thoroughly
15:41enlightened by your thoughts.
15:43Miss Bennet, I'm holding a small supper this Thursday.
15:46You should join us.
15:48Why, thank you, Mr Ryder.
15:50You must sing.
15:52That is, I mean to say, I may not be able to.
15:55I very much look forward to you joining us on Thursday.
16:00Come, Mr Ryder.
16:01Come, Mr Ryder.
16:32Ow.
16:37How did you find the ball last night?
16:41Most pleasant, thank you.
16:45Young William Ryder called while you were asleep this morning, Mary.
16:48He left this bundle of crime pamphlets as a pecuniary gift.
16:51Is this really to your taste?
16:54Oh, and he confirmed our invitation to supper on Thursday.
16:57Oh, what fun!
16:58Jethro.
17:00You could wear your red dress.
17:03Regarding supper, I fear I may not be able to attend.
17:09You have not been yourself since I saw you talking to Caroline Bingley last night.
17:16She seems to delight in being horrible to me.
17:21I have no idea what I've done to provoke her.
17:24Did she not once fancy herself as marrying your sister's husband?
17:27Mr. Darcy?
17:29She did?
17:30Yes.
17:31Perhaps she feels threatened by you.
17:35Caroline Bingley is not threatened by me.
17:39She's better than me.
17:41I know that very well.
17:44She's always beautifully dressed, and she has extraordinary confidence.
17:49She does not appear to lack confidence, that is certain.
17:53Perhaps underneath that brittle exterior lies doubts and insecurities the same as everyone else.
17:59And she treats you as though you're beneath her to make herself feel good.
18:03It riles her to see you blossoming in London.
18:07Blossoming?
18:09You've changed.
18:11You smile more.
18:13And you laugh.
18:15Well, I...
18:17The thought that you're worth less than Caroline really only exists in her mind.
18:24We do not run and hide from the Caroline Bingley's of this world.
18:32We stand our ground.
18:35For there will always be one.
18:54Miss Bennet.
18:56How wonderful to see you.
18:58Oh, um...
19:02I very much like your, um...
19:07Insects.
19:08Why, thank you.
19:10They were my late father's.
19:12He was a very great collector of all things strange or unusual in that line.
19:23You have an extensive book collection, Mr Ryder?
19:26Oh, yes.
19:28They are for show.
19:31Although, Grimm's fairy tales proved a fine name.
19:36Not as fine as those brilliant pamphlets you sent to me.
19:39I want to hear about the strangers' cases over dinner.
19:44Ah, yes.
19:45Miss Bennet.
19:47Inspired by you.
19:48I have been reading some of those particular works myself.
19:52And I found something that made me think of you.
19:57Of me?
19:57Mm-hmm.
19:58Allow me to find it?
19:59Well, of course.
20:01Miss Bingley.
20:03I am so glad you took my advice.
20:05Lady Catherine de Boer looks magnificent there.
20:09I was just about to read something to Miss Bennet that made me think of her this morning.
20:13It made you think of...
20:15Miss Bennet?
20:17Yes, exactly.
20:18Now, where is it?
20:20Mr Ryder, I wondered if it might be helpful for me to cast my eye across the dinner table before
20:25the guests sit.
20:27Er, very well.
20:30Please excuse us.
20:33I have to say, Miss Bennet, how refreshing it is to see a young woman with the courage to defy
20:39the dictates of fashion, when most of us are foolish enough to want to look as well as we possibly
20:44can.
20:45You are an example to us all.
21:05Mr. Hayward, we are here.
21:07Where are you, Mary?
21:08Ah!うわ...
21:09Is it
21:11possible? Be alright.
21:21위해... Oh!
21:25Jeff...
21:27we are...
21:29Yes,
21:32sir. Pretty
21:58Mr. Hurst, have you ever read Catherine McCauley's work?
22:02no she's most insightful on democracy if you're interested no what think you of
22:16James Hutton's theory that the earth is perpetually being formed I have no
22:21interest in geology what do you like mr. Hurst horses horses oh I know so little
22:32about horse racing I would be honored if you teach me all you know we won't have
22:36time for that let's just see how we get on right right
22:45four legs cannot vomit oh beautiful creatures beautiful almost too
22:53beautiful more intelligent than anyone at this table perhaps if I was to construct a
22:59horse then we know appreciate that right I've done this before I'm sure I can do
23:04it again these are the front legs here we call these the cloppers back legs the
23:11clippers ah clip clop right you see what I'm saying you do not want to stand behind a horse
23:21what can a horse do you tell me well um it can run but it can also break your heart
23:28I can see it
23:30that is our horse what shall we name it Gerald Gerald Gerald let's enter him at York
23:40probably faster than the horse I bet on last week thank you thank you sir I shall never
23:52wager any significant amount of money without consulting you first
24:02miss Bennett I was hoping to speak to you really I couldn't let this evening pass without having
24:10the privilege of talking to you properly it's a shame then that you chose to seat me so far from
24:15you
24:15at dinner you met Lady Catherine once did you not I did only recently we were talking about your
24:27family and she confessed herself astonished at the great difference between you and your sisters she
24:33felt that you were not as handsome as Elizabeth nor as provoking not as beautiful as Jane or as willing
24:42as Kitty and well who could measure up to Lydia's joie de vivre it was very candid of her she
24:53is known
24:53for her frankness I sometimes wonder if frankness isn't just a poor excuse for unkindness tell me Miss
25:03Bennett do you intend to marry let's assume we all must marry in the end
25:12perhaps you might allow me to offer you a little advice if you wish it seems to me that a
25:20great deal of
25:21time is thrown away in pursuit of attachments that can never come to anything such as Mr Ryder
25:32do you mean to suggest that I'm pursuing Mr Ryder or that he is pursuing me for both are quite
25:40without foundation and yet it seems you do all you can to please him I cannot imagine why else he
25:46would speak of you as he does what do you mean confine yourself to your proper sphere Miss Bennett
25:54presumptions of this kind only lead to disappointment and humiliation where matters of the heart are
26:00concerned
26:05you seem to know a great deal about rejection is this a lesson you've learned from extensive study
26:12or do you perhaps owe it to experience of a more personal nature
26:33it was a very thorough lesson in horse racing you had a dinner miss Bennett it was yes um most
26:42interesting I wanted to say that I wanted to ask all that is to say I had noticed at the
26:52ball that
26:52Mr Ryder had occupied a great deal of your time and he often acts without thinking I'd be very glad
26:59to
26:59ask him to be more restrained if that is what you would like
27:06I very much enjoy his company
27:08I see
27:13no I
27:14of course I
27:15no no
27:15forgive my intrusion
27:16no that is to say I'm I'm I'm not
