00:00What are your intentions towards Miss Marianne Dashwood?
00:02And what right have you to ask me?
00:05Everything about their conduct suggests that they are engaged in private, so why do they not make it public?
00:11My aunt has exercised the privilege of riches upon her poor dependent cousin by sending me on business to London.
00:16When are you coming back? Marianne will want to know!
00:19Will it be?
00:22I couldn't get it out of my head why Edward hasn't come to see us, so I decided to write
00:26and invite him directly.
00:28Please let him alone to come in his own good time.
00:31What did he come here for if not to propose to you?
00:34I don't know.
00:35Are you acquainted with Mr. Robert Ferris?
00:38No! With his elder brother.
00:41Mr...
00:43Edward Ferris?
00:44We are engaged.
00:46We are invited to an evening assembly!
00:51Look, he's here.
00:53Tell me, for heaven's sake, what is the matter?
00:55Excuse me.
00:59You've just gone.
01:27Look at this town in the same town with Mrs.
01:58Come to your locks.
02:21Marianne, it's too early.
02:23Come back to bed, you'll catch cold.
02:25This will be soon done.
02:35No, I'm going to ask nothing.
02:38You will know everything by and by.
03:04Come on!
03:16Oh, what a crush of people there was last evening.
03:19I don't wonder you left early.
03:21I was close to fainting myself.
03:23Dear Charlotte should not have been there so close to her confinement.
03:26But she would go.
03:28She loves an evening party, so.
03:32Mr. Palmer said he'd soon be in the black hole of Calcutta.
03:41Now, what about Mr. W?
03:44What will he think of you?
03:45You wait a week to see him and then run home before you spoke two words to him.
03:50Come now, try one of these soused herrings.
03:54No, thank you, ma'am.
03:55Well, shall Cook grill you a chop then?
03:58A fine big girl like you and not eat anything.
04:02Ah, here comes the post.
04:04Two for you, ma'am.
04:06And one for Miss Marianne Dashwood.
04:15I hope you find it to your liking, Miss.
04:21Oh, dear.
04:23Well, I hope you don't keep her waiting much longer.
04:25For it's quite grievous to see her looking so pale and peaky.
04:31I hope there's nothing wrong between her and Mr. W.
04:36Just a little lover's tiff.
04:39Marianne and Mr. Willoughby are not lovers, ma'am.
04:41And the moon is made of green cheese?
04:44Come, come, Miss Eleanor.
04:45I wasn't born yesterday.
04:47Truly, ma'am.
04:48You are mistaken.
04:52If you will excuse me, I will go to her.
05:05Oh, Eleanor, it's the worst.
05:09Worse than I ever imagined.
05:10It's as if I never knew him.
05:14My dear madam, I'm very much concerned to find there was anything in my behaviour last night that did not
05:20meet your approbation.
05:21If I have been so unfortunate as to give rise to a belief of more than I felt, I entreat
05:27your forgiveness.
05:27My affections have been long engaged elsewhere.
05:30I return your letters as you request, together with a lock of hair which you so obligingly bestowed on me.
05:36I am, dear madam...
05:37I can't understand it, Eleanor.
05:39We were like two halves of the same soul.
05:42It's contemptible.
05:47Marianne, if this is what he is truly like, you are well rid of him.
05:53Just think if your engagement had been carried on for months before he decided to put an end to it.
06:01There was no engagement.
06:05What?
06:07He is not so unworthy as you believe him.
06:09But he told you he loved you?
06:11Yes.
06:14No.
06:17Never in so many words, but everything he said and did.
06:22He knew I loved him and he made me think he loved me.
06:26You do believe me, Eleanor?
06:27Of course I do.
06:29I saw you together.
06:30No one could have doubted you were in love.
06:33Oh, Eleanor, I must go home.
06:36Can we go tomorrow?
06:38Tomorrow?
06:39Yes.
06:41I only came here for Willoughby's sake and now who tells for me?
06:46All your friends care for you and it would be impossible to go tomorrow.
06:51We owe Mrs Jennings more than that.
06:53Another few days then, but I can't bear to stay in London any longer.
06:58How are you, my dear?
07:01Poor thing.
07:03She looks very bad.
07:06Charlotte is downstairs.
07:07It is all over town.
07:09He is to be married to a Miss Grey with £50,000.
07:14Well, I wish with all my soul she'll plague his heart out.
07:22Dear Marianne, exert yourself.
07:24Happy Eleanor, you have no idea of what I suffer.
07:53Oh, Miss Dashwood, what a calamity.
07:56Is she very distressed?
07:58My sister is not well, Miss Steele, and keeps to her room.
08:00Oh, but such old friends as Lucy and me, she would see us and we would never speak a word
08:04about Mr Willoughby.
08:06But what filthy beasts these men are.
08:08There was a Dr Davies who paid me great attention when he was coming up in the coach, though I
08:11never set any store by it.
08:13And now he's gone without so much as a word, so your sister's not the only one to be cast
08:16aside like an old shoe.
08:18Anne, hold your tongue.
08:21Tell your sister I feel for her in her distress.
08:24To be jilted and spurned after giving her love so very freely.
08:30Fortunately, we know a man who is too honourable to stoop to such conduct, don't we?
08:50Are they gone?
08:51Yes.
08:56Will you write to Mama?
08:59Yes.
09:01Directly, if you wish.
09:05Oh, it's Colonel Brandon.
09:07I can't see him, Eleanor.
09:09Tell them I can't see him.
09:14Miss Dashwood, I have something to tell you which I think your sister should know.
09:19Do you remember a conversation I had with her once?
09:22When I said your sister Marianne reminded me of someone I once knew?
09:25I do remember.
09:27She was a relation of mine.
09:30We grew up together as children.
09:33It's impossible to convey to you what...
09:38I believe we were everything to each other.
09:42At my father's insistence she was married to my elder brother, but he had no regard for her.
09:49And his pleasures were not what they ought to have been.
09:54I was in the East Indies when I heard of her divorce.
09:59When I came back to England, I searched for her.
10:02Everywhere.
10:06Finally, I found her in a pauper's hospital.
10:10Dying.
10:13And she had a child.
10:16A little girl, three years old.
10:19Who became my ward.
10:21What age is she now?
10:23She is about 15 years old.
10:27Imprudently, as it turned out, I allowed her to go to Bath to stay with the family of a friend.
10:32Last February, she suddenly disappeared.
10:37The first news that reached me of her was in a letter I received on the morning of our intended
10:42party to Delaford.
10:43That's why you left so suddenly.
10:44She had been abandoned by her seducer.
10:48And she is now born his child.
10:53Perhaps you have guessed the connection.
10:58Willoughby.
11:06You will know best how to tell Marianne.
11:10And how much she needs to know.
11:18I'm so sorry, Marianne.
11:38William the Conqueror, William Rufus, Henry the First, Steward.
11:45Henry the Second, Rich the First, and Bad King John.
11:52What are you writing?
11:53Are you telling them to come home?
11:55No, I think it would be better for Marianne not to come home for a while.
11:59Because if she came home, everything would remind her of him.
12:04Exactly.
12:06Kings and queens.
12:10Richard the Second.
12:12Willoughby's a scantle, isn't King Milan?
12:14Kings and queens, Meg.
12:17If I were a brother instead of a sister, I would fight Willoughby and kill him with my sword.
12:22Well, then it's a good job you're not.
12:23For I would hate to see you hang for murder.
12:26I wish I was a man.
12:28Girls can never do anything.
12:30Men can write about the country and do things.
12:32And girls just sit and wait for things to happen.
12:51One does fear for Marianne's prospects.
12:54I gather she made her infatuation for this man, Willoughby, so widely talked about that only marriage could have rendered
13:03it respectable.
13:05Poor Marianne.
13:06Well, to be sure, it was only to be expected.
13:09No doubt his expenditure exceeded his income, and only a fool would turn down the chance of £50,000.
13:15I should say.
13:17She will be considered damaged goods now.
13:22Perhaps she is.
13:24I was thinking, my dear, perhaps we should have the Dashwood girls to stay with us for a while.
13:33Oh, no, John.
13:35I don't think Mother would approve under the circumstances.
13:41But I really think we should do something, Fanny.
13:45For Eleanor, at least.
14:11You well?
14:13And the child?
14:16Very well.
14:17I thank you.
14:20But what is to become of us?
14:24Rest assured, you'll be looked after.
14:28I will see that you're one for nothing, both of you.
14:35I was wondering...
14:38What?
14:40Speak.
14:43If I could see him once more, I thought if he could see his child, he might...
14:50Let's answer the question.
14:53Willoughby has just announced this engagement to a young woman of fortune.
15:12I hear that Colonel Brandon has been with you a good deal.
15:16Yes.
15:17You should try for him, Eleanor.
15:19You should indeed.
15:20And I do think you might have a chance there.
15:22You have it in you to attract the men, if you were to go about it the right way.
15:30Well, poor Marianne.
15:31I fear it is all over for her.
15:34Her bloom is quite gone, poor girl.
15:38Quite gone.
15:42As to any...
15:44previous...
15:45attachment...
15:46You have to realize that would be quite out of the question.
15:49Mrs. Ferrars has quite definite intentions for your cousin Edward's marriage.
15:53Oh?
15:54The lady is the Honourable Miss Morton.
15:57Miss Morton?
15:59Yes.
16:00With £30,000.
16:02A very desirable connection on both sides.
16:07But Colonel Brandon now, that would be an excellent thing.
16:12Indeed, I come with an invitation to dine with us at Barclay Square tomorrow evening, where you will meet the
16:17Colonel, and also my mother-in-law, Mrs. Ferrars, who has expressed a positive inclination to welcome you.
16:26How delightful that you were able to come.
16:30Imagine, Anne and I arrived here only this afternoon, and we've been invited to stay for the whole week.
16:38Pity me, dear Miss Dashwood.
16:41There is nobody here but you who can feel for me.
16:44I am all of a tremble.
16:46In a moment, I shall see the person that all my happiness depends on.
16:52Edward?
16:54Will he be here?
16:55No, no.
16:57He is kept away by that extreme affection for me, which he cannot conceal when we are together.
17:03Oh, I see.
17:04I meant Mrs. Ferrars.
17:06The person I hope one day to call Mother.
17:10Oh.
17:14So, Mr. Willoughby is married and has quit the town.
17:19Yes, indeed, Mama.
17:22Greatly to the disappointment of certain young ladies, I understand.
17:27They hope to catch him, Mama.
17:29But Willoughby knew a game worth two of that.
17:32He wouldn't be caught by anything but a fortune.
17:36This is insuffering.
17:38Will Mr. Edward Ferrars be joining us this evening, Ma'am?
17:40No.
17:42My elder son is staying with the Mortons.
17:44Perhaps you know Lord Morton?
17:46No, Ma'am.
17:47I have not had the pleasure.
17:48It is a fair distinguished family.
17:51The Honourable Miss Morton is an exceptionally charming and accomplished young lady.
18:02You're fond of the country, Mr. Ferrars.
18:04If you are, we could offer you some pretty good hunting and shooting.
18:08Fishing as well.
18:09Confess that I am not enamoured of country sports, Sir John.
18:15Country manners, however, can be very pleasing in their way.
18:21I hope you don't take us for country bumpkins, Mr. Robert.
18:24We have some very fine bow in Plymouth, you know.
18:27And I'm sure your brother Edward was very happy there.
18:29Very happy indeed.
18:31Weren't you, Lucy?
18:34Really, Anne, how should I know?
18:38I have heard him say that he was never happier than when he was with us at Norland.
18:49Ladies.
18:57Jane, take this seat here, Ma'am.
18:59It is out of the draught and not too near the front.
19:02Let me arrange the cushions for you.
19:04I'm obliged to.
19:05What did you say her name was?
19:07Lucy Steele, Ma'am.
19:09She seems a decent, modest sort of girl, Fanny.
19:12Yes, indeed.
19:14Would you play for us, Marianne?
19:17If you wish.
19:17Marianne is a very accomplished musician.
19:21Miss Morton plays the piano forte very well.
19:25And the harp, I understand.
19:28Does Miss Eleanor Dashwood play?
19:31No, Ma'am.
19:32Oh.
19:34Eleanor is something of an artist, Ma'am.
19:37Here is her painting of Norland Park.
19:43Yes.
19:44You must think it has something of Miss Morton's style.
19:49She does paint most delightfully.
19:54But she does everything well.
19:58Excuse me, Ma'am.
20:00But what is Miss Morton to us?
20:03It is Eleanor of whom we think and speak.
20:10Dear Eleanor, don't mind them.
20:12What do they know?
20:13Don't let them make you unhappy.
20:20What is the matter with the girl?
20:23She seems quite unhinged.
20:27Willoughby.
20:43My dear friend, I am so happy.
20:48I was so afraid last night, but Edward's mother was charming.
20:52I think she took quite a fancy to me.
20:55She was certainly very civil to you.
20:57Civil?
20:58Did you see nothing more than civility?
21:00I saw a vast deal more.
21:03Do you know, I think we're halfway to securing Mrs. Ferris' consent already.
21:08I am very happy for you.
21:10But I fear the Honourable Miss Morton may prove a stumbling block.
21:15Has Mrs. Ferris not settled it that she is to be Edward's bride?
21:18No, you shan't dampen my spirits.
21:20Miss Morton may be this or that, but it is me he has made his promise to.
21:26Not her.
21:28Or anybody else.
21:33Mr. Edward Ferris.
21:37Miss Dashwood.
21:39Eleanor.
21:42Mr. Ferris, you know Miss Lucy Steele, I think.
21:49Ah, yes.
21:52Of course.
21:54How do you do, Miss Steele?
21:57I am well.
21:58I thank you.
22:00And yourself, Miss Dashwood.
22:02I am well.
22:04I am very glad to hear it.
22:07And Marianne.
22:08She will be very happy to see you.
22:09I will go and tell her.
22:11Excuse me.
22:14Edward.
22:15I knew you would come.
22:17Marianne.
22:18We hoped to see you last night at your sister's house.
22:20Where didn't you come?
22:21I was engaged elsewhere.
22:25Engaged elsewhere?
22:27But what was that when there were dear friends to be met?
22:30Perhaps, Miss Marianne, you think young men never stand upon engagements if they have
22:35no mind to keep them.
22:37No, indeed.
22:38I am sure whatever it was, it was a matter of conscience for Edward.
22:43He always keeps his word when he has given it.
22:47And that being so, I regret I must leave you, for I am promised to my sister.
22:52Indeed, I must go there directly.
22:54But you will come again soon.
22:56Very soon, I hope.
22:58Miss Dashwood, Marianne, Miss Steele.
23:00If you were going to your sister's house, perhaps you would walk with me, because I am
23:04expected there.
23:07Of course.
23:10My pleasure.
23:38To be sure, I don't know where Lucy has got to.
23:42I've just got a little errand, Dan, she said.
23:45And what errands that, I said.
23:47Never you mind, she said.
23:49She never tells me anything.
23:51And did you say Mr Edward has come in today?
23:54Oh, yes.
23:55I suppose you haven't seen him for some years, since he was at school with your uncle.
24:00No, indeed.
24:01We've seen him very often.
24:02He comes to see us very regular.
24:06In Plymouth?
24:08You visit to in Plymouth?
24:09Yes, very often.
24:13And why should he do that?
24:15Well, he comes to see Lucy, of course.
24:22Oh, I shouldn't have told you that.
24:23It's a secret.
24:25What's a secret?
24:28I demand that you answer me.
24:34Why, that Lucy and Edward are sweethearts.
24:37They've been engaged these four years.
24:40What?
24:41John?
24:42John?
24:43Please don't be angry with me.
24:44John!
24:45It ain't my fault.
24:46What is the matter?
24:48Is it little Henry?
24:50No, you fool.
24:51It's her.
24:52Tell him.
24:54Tell him.
24:56Tell him.
25:00Mr Edward Ferris and Miss Lucy Steele.
25:06Oh, John.
25:10Mother Fanny, what is the matter?
25:12Is it true that you have secretly engaged yourself to this young woman?
25:20Anne, what have you done?
25:22I'm sorry, it just popped out.
25:24Answer me.
25:28Yes, it is true, Mother.
25:31And I ask your blessing for us both.
25:37My blessing, sir.
25:39Mother, pray attend to this.
25:43Unless you abandon this ridiculous plan, you will have nothing from me.
25:48Nothing at all.
25:49Do you understand?
25:52Your brother shall have all your inheritance, and you can starve on the streets for all I care.
26:00Miss Steele, you are no longer welcome here.
26:05You will leave at once.
26:07If you send Lucy away, Mother, I must go, too.
26:12Go, then.
26:16I have nothing else to say to you.
26:27I have nothing else to say to you.
26:55Good God.
26:57Can this be possible?
26:58I'm amazed, too.
26:59I thought he was a man of sense.
27:01Well, well, I knew nothing of this.
27:04I thought his fancy lay another way.
27:08Um, Mrs. Ferrars was good enough to say, Eleanor, that whatever objections there had been to another connection, you understand
27:20me,
27:20it would have been by far the least evil of the two, and she would be glad now to compound
27:25for nothing worse.
27:28She is, in truth, an excellent woman, and it grieves me to see her so distressed.
27:56How long have you known this?
28:01Lucy told me so herself at Barton Park.
28:05How could you bear it?
28:07I bore it because I had to.
28:10And I was glad to spare you from knowing how much I felt.
28:14Now I can think and speak of it without any great distress.
28:19I wish him very happy.
28:20You can say that.
28:23Then perhaps you did not feel so very much after all.
28:29You think I did not feel so very much?
28:35Marianne, for four months I have had all this hanging on my mind without being at liberty to speak of
28:41it to a single creature.
28:43I have had to listen to Lucy Steele's hopes and exultations again and again.
28:48I have known myself to be divided from Edward forever and endured the unkindness of his sister and the insolence
28:57of his mother.
29:00I have suffered all the punishment of an attachment without enjoying any...
29:08any of the advantages.
29:14I may not have shown it, Marianne,
29:18but let me assure you I have been very unhappy.
29:41Oh, there you are.
29:43Charlotte has had her baby.
29:46A fine boy.
29:48And we are all going home to Cleveland.
29:51I shall go on ahead and the Colonel will accompany you.
29:55He's in the drawing room.
29:56And particularly wishes to speak with you, Miss Dashwood.
29:59I believe he has a favour to ask of you.
30:06Colonel Brandon, give me a living.
30:10Can it be possible?
30:14But he barely knows me.
30:15He has heard a good deal about you.
30:18From Marianne and from me.
30:21He knows how much we...
30:24how well we think of you.
30:29So I have you to thank for this.
30:31No.
30:34So your own merit.
30:38Well...
30:39I am profoundly grateful to him.
30:41And to you, Eleanor.
30:51Every time we have met,
30:53it has seemed impossible to say
30:55what I really think and feel.
30:57Yes.
30:59And now more than ever.
31:01Yes.
31:03Why do you not think badly of me?
31:06You never deceived me.
31:09And what I heard...
31:13When I was told of your engagement,
31:17everything became clear.
31:19You have done nothing wrong.
31:23I wouldn't think so highly of you
31:26if you had acted differently.
31:49Good-bye.
31:51Good-bye.
31:55Good-bye.
31:57Good-bye.
32:03Good-bye.
32:04Good-bye.
32:11Good-bye.
32:14Good-bye.
32:16Good-bye.
32:18Good-bye.
32:19Good-bye.
32:20Good-bye.
32:20Good-bye.
32:21Good-bye.
32:21Good-bye.
32:22Good-bye.
32:24Good-bye.
32:51Welcome to Cleveland.
32:54See, here's little Mr. Palmer to greet you.
33:01Oh, Eleanor.
33:04I keep thinking about that poor girl and her baby.
33:08What strange creatures men are.
33:13Yes, indeed.
33:17What do they want from us?
33:19I cannot answer you.
33:23Perhaps they see us not as people, but as playthings, Eleanor.
33:33I love you.
33:37Come on.
33:40Come on.
36:11She's very chilled.
36:12Make a fire in her room.
36:16She must be stripped and chafed all over.
36:19I've seen this too many times.
36:20Build up the fire there.
36:26I shall leave you.
36:28Be sure to make haste.
36:29Time is of the essence.
36:30Yes, thank you.
36:47Oh, Miss Marianne.
36:49She gets more than her share of misfortunes.
36:56How is she?
36:58She's a little recovered.
37:00She asked to see you, Colonel.
37:30I...
37:31I...
37:31It is but a chill, I dare say.
37:35Cheer up, Colonel.
37:38You'll see her bright eyes and laughing face tomorrow.
38:12Marianne?
38:15Marianne?
38:22She has a very bad fever.
38:26And I fear her lungs have become congested.
38:29The disorder would appear to have a putrid tendency.
38:34Oh, poor girl.
38:37Well, there is nothing more I can do for her at the present.
38:42The fever is nearing the crisis.
39:03Colonel Brandon.
39:04I think if you could send a man to fetch my mother,
39:10I think she should be here as soon as possible.
39:14Of course, I'll go myself at once.
39:16What's should I be doing?
39:19No.
39:23Oh.
39:27Oh.
39:32Oh.
40:54Oh, Marianne.
41:06That's an old one in front.
41:07If you please, ma'am, there's a gentleman below asking for you.
41:10A gentleman?
41:21Miss Dashwood.
41:24Excuse me, I have no time for this.
41:25Please, wait. I want to explain.
41:28I want to apologize.
41:32To ask for forgiveness.
41:36Mr. Willoughby, you're not welcome here.
41:40Perhaps you'll hardly think the better of me, but it's worth me trying.
41:46When I first came to Devonshire and met your sister, I confess I was only thinking of my own amusement.
41:53But against my will, I fell genuinely in love with her and made up my mind to marry her.
42:00Mr. Willoughby, unfortunately, a circumstance occurred.
42:07A circumstance?
42:08Yes.
42:09An unlucky circumstance.
42:13My aunt had somehow been informed of an event, an affair, a connection. No doubt you've heard the story.
42:24I have. A child. An innocent girl, only 15 years old, whom you abandoned without a thought.
42:31Well, because I was a libertine...
42:32She must be a saint, I suppose.
42:37I don't mean to justify myself.
42:39So what did your aunt say?
42:41I was dismissed from her favor.
42:44And from her house. I was virtually penniless, in debt, and without any prospects.
42:48So you set off to London to find yourself a rich wife.
42:50What could I have done?
42:52You could have made amends to that poor girl you seduced.
42:56And you could have told my sister the truth.
42:58Do you recall that letter you wrote to her in London?
43:00Sophia dictated every word.
43:03Have you any idea how much I suffered in writing those words?
43:05Have you any idea how much I suffer now, living with a wife I detest?
43:08You treated my sister with dishonesty and cruelty, and now you speak of your wife with contempt.
43:11She doesn't deserve your compassion.
43:14She knew I had no regard for her when we married.
43:20So now do you pity me, Miss Dashwood?
43:24Or have I said all this to no purpose?
43:27You had my sister's love.
43:29And now you have lost it forever.
43:32And I'm glad of it.
43:33You despise me.
43:42She can never be more lost to you than she is now.
44:10She is well.
44:11She is out of danger.
44:13She is recovering.
44:14Oh, thank God.
44:21Willoughby.
44:23I can still hardly believe it.
44:26We were all deceived in him.
44:31I think he deceived himself as well.
44:36He wanted to believe in his own fine words.
44:42As I did.
44:48Oh, Marshal, be so glad to be at home.
45:12Oh, Marshal, be so glad to be at home.
45:20Colonel Brandon is an exceptional man, I think.
45:23He is.
45:25What sadness he has known.
45:28He kept faithful to his first love, even after she had been torn away from him.
45:34Even after she was dead.
45:36He is the true romantic, I think.
45:42It is not what we say or feel that makes us what we are, it is what we do.
45:49Or fail to do.
45:52Very true.
46:02Marianne, I know all the kings and queens of England now. Would you like to hear them?
46:07I'd love you.
46:09William the Conqueror, William Rufus, Henry I, Stephen, Henry II, Richard I, and Bad King John.
46:19Why is he leaving now when he has the advantage?
46:22I have heard that the great tamers of horses do it, by being gentle, then walking away.
46:28Nine times out of ten, the wild horse will follow.
46:49Eleanor, I look back on my conduct last autumn.
46:52I was a fool to myself and inconsiderate to everybody else.
46:57You cannot compare your conduct with his.
47:00No, but I compare it with what it should have been.
47:04I compare it with yours.
47:08I hope I am wiser now.
47:12I am determined to enter into a course of serious study.
47:16Colonel Brandon has promised me I can go to Daliford as often as I wish to borrow books and play
47:21his pianoforte.
47:22He is so generous.
47:51I'll leave you to explore.
47:55Come and find me when you're ready.
50:18Oh, big pardon, Miss Eleanor.
50:20Mrs. Ferrars sends her compliments.
50:23Mrs. Ferrars?
50:25Oh, Miss Lucy Steelers was.
50:27I ran into her this morning in Exeter.
50:29Married a week gone, she said.
50:31So I made myself free to wish her joy.
50:37Thank you, Thomas.
50:41Oh, Eleanor.
50:43It is just as we expected.
50:45Nothing to surprise or upset us.
50:49And in a little while, it will be just as if nothing had happened.
50:53Which, in a way, is true.
50:55Shall we go in?
51:01Well, let's go.
51:02Oh, God.
51:06Oh, God.
51:18Oh, God.
51:19Oh, God.
51:21Oh, God.
51:23Oh, God.
51:24Oh, God.
52:08I am well, Mama. I am happy. I am perfectly contented.
52:26I am happy.
52:40I am happy.
53:06I am happy.
53:20I am happy with you.
53:41Then I am very happy for you.
53:52I wish you could be happy too.
53:54So do I.
53:56I must see if I can find myself a candle too.
53:58I am happy with you.
54:29Eleanor?
54:31Eleanor!
54:32Edward is here.
54:39Oh, my dear.
54:50Mr. Edward Ferrars, ma'am.
54:58Edward.
55:00We're delighted to see you. May I wish you joy?
55:08I hope you left Mrs. Ferrars very well.
55:11Yes, yes, quite well, on the whole.
55:16Is Mrs. Ferrars at Exeter?
55:19No, my mother is in town.
55:22I meant Mrs. Edward Ferrars.
55:27Surely you mean Mrs. Robert Ferrars?
55:32You have not heard.
55:34My brother is lately married to Miss Lucy Steele.
55:37When my mother made over my inheritance to Robert,
55:40Miss Steele made over her affections also,
55:43thus releasing me from my engagement.
55:46So now you can marry Ellen.
55:52Miss Dashwood, Eleanor, I came here with no expectation.
55:57After everything that has happened,
55:58you have every right to turn me away this instant,
56:00but I cannot leave here without conveying the intensity
56:03of my feelings for you.
56:05I loved you at Norland, almost from our first encounter.
56:09I could not express it then as I was bound by my promise to Lucy,
56:13but I think you felt it and were puzzled and hurt
56:17by my lack of openness with you.
56:21Let me be open now.
56:25Every day since I first saw you,
56:28my love for you has grown.
56:32Eleanor, I know I have no right to hope,
56:35but I must ask.
56:40Can you forgive me?
56:44Can you love me?
56:52Will you marry me?
57:19Will you marry me?
