00:21The anxiety I felt over my mother's sudden illness was quite overwhelming.
00:27Losing one parent had upturned my life.
00:30To lose the other was unthinkable.
00:37Though my mother's presence had always loomed large in my life,
00:41I could not imagine myself without her.
00:47Top of the stairs, Miss Bennet.
01:19You're here!
01:21Well, don't stand in the doorway. You're letting the heat out.
01:24Mother!
01:31You look...
01:34well, doesn't she?
01:36Are you a physician all of a sudden?
01:38No, I...
01:41I'm just...
01:42I'm...
01:43I'm relieved to see that you're improved.
01:47You look like you haven't slept in days.
01:49And whose dress are you wearing?
01:53My...
01:53My own.
01:55Mary!
01:56I am so pleased to see you.
01:59Oh, it has been far too long.
02:03I cannot be expected to stand.
02:06Hello, Mary.
02:07Mary, come here.
02:20I see the London air has taken a terrible toll on your complexion.
02:26And your hair!
02:27I am sure being back in the country will help.
02:30Looks beyond repair to me.
02:37I had undertaken such a long journey.
02:40And yet, here I was.
02:44Back where I started.
02:54From Mother's letter, I...
02:56I thought that she was gravely ill.
02:59I...
02:59We all did.
03:01Has she actually been ill?
03:02At all?
03:03She thought it might be influenza.
03:05Or smallpox.
03:06But she has made a miraculous recovery.
03:08Hmm.
03:09Perhaps she rallied at the news that I was on my way.
03:11I, for one, am pleased we are all back together.
03:14Yes, I was thinking, perhaps we could, um, play graces.
03:16Or charades after dinner this evening.
03:19Nobody plays graces, Mary.
03:21Oh, on the contrary.
03:22It's quite fashionable in London.
03:23How is London, Mary?
03:25Yes.
03:25I want to hear all about it.
03:27Hmm.
03:28Yes.
03:28Um, London is, um...
03:30Katie.
03:30It's, it's, um...
03:32Katie!
03:32Katie!
03:33I cannot reach the preserves.
03:38How are the gardeners?
03:39Are you enjoying being that governess?
03:41I, uh, yes.
03:43It's, uh, most rewarding.
03:45Have you made many new acquaintances?
03:46Uh, my sister-in-law, Caroline, is in London for the summer.
03:50Have you crossed paths?
03:52Oh, gosh, there's so many people.
03:55Um...
03:55I know she can be a little stiff at first, but she would be interesting company for you.
04:00I have company.
04:02There's a plethora of choice, really, for interesting company in London.
04:06Do you mean your books?
04:12That's my ma's bell.
04:13She wants you, Mary.
04:14I've only just been up there.
04:16I will send a servant to attend to her.
04:21Mrs Bennet would like Miss Bennet to attend to her.
04:27She probably wants to hear all about London.
04:31Walk the Duchess to the edge of the fountain and no further.
04:35If you feel the wind picking up, you must bring her inside immediately
04:38and give her warm water and chopped meat.
04:41Do not let Cook give her the leftovers, only fresh, chopped beef.
04:46After 30 minutes, you may return her to me.
04:48For she is the only member of this family upon whom I can depend these days.
04:59Oh, and tell Lizzie I wish to be moved to the drawing room.
05:05Do you think you'll be happier convalescing in here, Mama?
05:08Well, you might remember to visit me if I'm here.
05:12Now, where is my bell?
05:15Do not trouble yourselves waiting for me. I'm fine.
05:19Thank it, Mother.
05:20Hmm.
05:22And these pillows will not do.
05:25I'll send for some others.
05:28Maybe some toasted cheese.
05:31I feel terribly weak this morning.
05:35Not a man yet.
05:37And a book.
05:38Perhaps Mary can choose something.
05:40I was hoping for something readable.
05:42You're not joining us, Mr Darcy.
05:45Mary!
05:50No.
05:55Yes, sir.
05:57You did you trust me?
06:03What am I doing?
06:14Ah!
06:15Ah!
06:16Ah!
06:18Miss Bennett, a letter for you.
06:32Mary!
06:37Mary, where on earth have you been all this time?
06:41I was walking the dog, Mama.
06:44Please.
07:00Who's the letter from, Mary?
07:02From one of my friends in London.
07:05What friend is that, Mary?
07:07Lydia.
07:09What friend is that, Mary?
07:14Her name is Miss Baxter.
07:16Anne Baxter.
07:17I've never heard of Miss Baxter.
07:18Then she surely does not exist.
07:20She most probably does not.
07:22Lydia is being most unkind.
07:40What's her name?
07:40I have to walk her off.
07:43She's so full-minded.
07:43She's so full-minded.
07:43You love the body.
07:46But really, I can't see her in the room
07:46like her.
07:46And so...
08:11something seems to be troubling you Mary you seem full of concerns every
08:16time we mention London do I I thought you would be eager to return
08:26does mother's dog in any way remind you of mother oh Lizzie oh I embarrassed myself terribly when I
08:40left London no Caroline Bingley was there she was determined to humiliate me and I left in such a
08:48flurry I I smashed a bell jar of great sentimental value to its owner and a new friend Mr Ryder
08:56and
08:57everyone stared I very no one else will have given it a second thought it will seem worse to you
09:05I'm
09:05sure what person has not done something regrettable in their lives you you Jane Kitty Lydia Lydia oh no
09:16no no Lydia has I can assure you we all have
09:23Anne wrote to tell me not to worry you see she's become a dear friend she has something of an
09:31understanding with another good friend of mine um Mr Tom Haywood Mr Haywood is

10:20Mr Ryder what are you doing here Miss Bennett I hope you and your family won't consider this a
10:28great imposition but you left London with such haste I was most worried about your mother and
10:34wanted to offer my support in your hour of need how do you do Mr Ryder mrs Bennett why it
10:46is pleasure

13:44yes
13:45yes Miss Bennett I believe I have
13:47I've been wondering whether to write to you on the subject
13:50oh I wouldn't expect you to lead the conversation Miss Bennett
13:53Mr Ryder are you here to talk about
13:57our connection
13:58the bell jar
14:00the bell jar
14:01what did you say
14:03Miss Bennett
14:04please
14:05do not trouble yourself over that
14:07but it was your father's
14:09I thought you'd be upset
14:10not at all
14:11please

14:12no more of it
14:24it is a pleasure to meet your family
14:27yes my sisters are exceptional I know
14:32as are you Miss Bennett
14:35oh no I am much more
14:39I find it most refreshing that you do not fall
14:42over potential husbands or
14:45have your mind constantly set on finding a match
14:50well
14:51no
14:52no
14:52I don't really
14:53I don't give it much thought
14:55you lack artifice
14:57your qualities shine out
14:59they're not corrupted by the
15:01false polish of the world
15:04she's a
15:06observations of a very very personal nature
15:08well
15:09I have a very low opinion
15:10of the petty rules to which we survive
15:12and admit ourselves in the name of good manners
15:15did you know that
15:16thank you
15:17I have mentioned it once or twice
15:20I believe
15:20Miss Bennett
15:21that
15:23our inability to say what we mean is one of the great curses of our age
15:27we hide behind a thousand disguises that we like to call politeness
15:49Mr. Darcy sends his apologies he has a seasonal headache
15:53oh
15:53hmm
15:55Mr. Ryder tell us about yourself
15:58Mary mentioned you are an avid reader
16:00oh
16:01er
16:02of poetry perhaps
16:03I find longer works are usually not for me
16:06really
16:07I think the brevity of poetry is one of its principal attractions
16:10I agree
16:13wholeheartedly
16:13I only wish I had the fine mind of your sister
16:16Miss Bennett has such an astute understanding of a wide range of literature
16:22she does
16:23she does
16:24she does
16:25I do not know whether she gets it from me or her father
16:29from you mother I am sure
16:31oh
16:33there are very few people who have the insight of Miss Bennett
16:37I could talk to you all day
16:40I must admit London has been a little grey without you
16:45I don't know
16:46I don't know
16:48are you joking
16:48no
16:49there are many interesting minds in London
16:51all eager for thoughtful conversation
16:54none as interesting as yours
17:09hello
17:12mother
17:12mother
17:14I came to wish you good night
17:20here
17:34Mr. Ryder
17:36would make an excellent match
17:45I wonder what kind of endowment he has
17:50I do not know my mum
17:52a sizable one I am sure
17:57good night my mum
18:03good night Mary
18:04good night
18:15good night
18:16good night
18:17good night
18:56Sorry, don't let me distract you.
19:01What are you reading, Mr. Ryder?
19:03A rather fascinating book.
19:08Um...
19:08Uh, Jesus.
19:09Right, it's upside down.
19:11Ah, so it is.
19:14What are you reading, Miss Bennet?
19:16Fordyce's Sermons to Young Women.
19:17Oh, insufferable, rulemaking pedant.
19:20Would you like me to put it in the fire for you?
19:23Oh, it's not quite how I remember it, I'll admit.
19:41What are they talking about?
19:47Barry sounds serious.
19:48She is boring him, I know it.
19:50I think you should read Mrs. McCauley.
19:52She will help you to better understand the world.
19:56I am no good at all at wasting my energy on anything that does not either move or please me.
20:02I think that is a shame, sir.
20:10You know, my father was a scholar.
20:13He devoted all his time to studying insects.
20:16Winged beetles, mostly.
20:18Of course, yes.
20:19The beetle in the jar.
20:22It's fascinating stuff, really.
20:24Well, I'm not so sure, but it occupied his every waking hour.
20:32He rarely emerged from his study.
20:36We hardly ever saw him.
20:40When I was 15 years old,
20:47he died quite suddenly.
20:50Oh, I'm sorry.
20:53I'm sorry.
20:55A few days after his death,
20:58I sat in his dark study and
21:02I thought about all the hours he'd spent in there.
21:06Away from his family.
21:09Away from life.
21:10And for what?
21:12For your father must have derived
21:13a great deal of pleasure from his work.
21:17Perhaps.
21:17But I think I learnt more about the point of human existence
21:21in that moment than my father learnt
21:23in a lifetime of study.
21:26From then on,
21:27I devoted myself
21:29to the pursuit of joy.
21:33Tell me, Miss Bennett.
21:36What makes you happy?
21:41Sorry, um,
21:42nobody ever asked me such a question.
21:45Then you must consider it now.
21:47Uh, well, um,
21:52reading.
21:53Reading.
21:54Learning.
21:55Teaching.
21:58And
22:00what of
22:02friendship?
22:05Of love?
22:09Uh, yes.
22:10No, of course.
22:12That.
22:13Life is short, Miss Bennett.
22:17Everything turns to dust in the end.
22:23We might as well experience some joy
22:25before that happens.
22:33Let's go ride it.
22:37Yes.
22:38Let's.
22:40Let's.
22:45Ladies.
22:48What a waste.
22:51Well?
22:52Well, what?
22:53Are you going out walking again, Mary?
22:54No, Mr. Ryder and I are going riding.
22:56On a horse?
22:57Yes, that's generally the idea.
22:58But you hate horses.
22:59Mary,
23:00what are his intentions?
23:02To ride a horse,
23:03I think.
23:15Oh, no.
23:17Oh, no.
23:22Oh, dear.
23:23Oh, dear.
23:26Um.
23:27You're quite all right, Miss Bennett.
23:29I'm perfectly fine.
23:30Yes.
23:32No.
23:33Oh, you.
23:33Oh.
23:34There we go.
23:35There we go.
23:37Now,
23:37I've been thinking
23:39about your argument
23:41that, uh,
23:42that we should say
23:43more honestly
23:44what we think and feel.
23:45Oh, excellent.
23:47I knew you'd agree.
23:48Oh.
23:49I don't know that I do.
23:51I mean, surely
23:52even you must admit
23:53there may be occasions
23:54when,
23:55well,
23:55for all manner of reasons,
23:57some things are best
23:58left unsaid.
23:59I cannot concur.
24:00I intend to live my life
24:02by bolder principles.
24:03In fact,
24:04that is why I came here,
24:06to put that belief
24:07into practice.
24:08Oh, really?
24:10Yes.
24:11I came here
24:11to commit the great
24:12impropriety
24:13of telling you honestly
24:14what I think of you.
24:17Oh.
24:18Mr. Ryder,
24:18I can assure you
24:19there's no need.
24:20I attempted to scribble
24:21a few lines,
24:22but then I thought of
24:23some verses
24:25of Mr. Wordsworth,
24:26but
24:27captured your spirit
24:28perfectly.
24:30May I be allowed
24:31to recite them to you?
24:35Of course,
24:36Mr. Ryder.
24:36Please.
24:41She dwelt among...
24:43Excuse me.
24:46No.
24:48Please,
24:49take your time.
24:56She dwelt among the untrodden ways,
25:00beside the springs of Dove.
25:02A maid
25:03whom there were none to praise
25:06and very few to love.
25:09A violet
25:10by a mossy stone,
25:12half hidden from the eye.
25:15Fair as a star
25:16when only one
25:18is shining in the sky.
25:26I think you see me
25:28as a lonely figure.
25:30I was brought up
25:31in Hertfordshire, sir.
25:32So the road to London
25:33was barely five miles away.
25:35It is possible
25:36to feel oneself alone
25:37even in such close proximity
25:39to town.
25:39Yes,
25:40but in my village,
25:41it was quite untrue
25:42to say
25:43that there were none
25:44to praise
25:44and very few to love.
25:46There were scores
25:47of people
25:48very eager
25:49to praise my sisters.
25:50Perhaps living
25:51with your family
25:52in Meryton
25:53kept you
25:55half hidden
25:56from the eye.
25:58But now you've broken out
25:59on your own.
26:01You can be seen
26:02at last
26:02as you deserve.
26:05Fair as a star
26:06when only one
26:07is shining in the sky.
26:14Oh!
26:19You are an actual
26:20Miss Bennett.
26:21Oh, I'm not.
26:22I know.
26:27Our conversation
26:28has made me
26:28very happy,
26:29Miss Bennett.
26:34Me too,
26:35Mr. Ryder.
26:41Yeah, yeah, yeah!
26:43Yeah, yeah, yeah!
26:45Yeah, yeah, yeah!
26:51Walk on!
27:00Mary, there you are.
27:02Whatever's the matter?
27:03What happened
27:03on the ride?
27:06We rode horses?
27:07Hmm.
27:08And mine was
27:09most unruly
27:10and it had a taste
27:11for brambles
27:11as if it had a mine
27:12and it was really
27:13and my saddle
27:14was not at all
27:14comfortable.
27:15Yeah, Mary.
27:15That's not a slight
27:16on the quality.
27:16Mary.
27:17It's merely the design.
27:17Mary!
27:21It appears
27:22Mr. Ryder
27:23does have some sort
27:24of affection for you
27:25and I believe
27:27he is about
27:28to propose.
27:32Mother,
27:33I'm not completely
27:34sure that you
27:35are right
27:35and I really
27:36would hate
27:36to cause you
27:37any further
27:37disappointment.
27:38This is an opportunity
27:39that cannot be
27:40overlooked.
27:42He's a very
27:43eligible gentleman.
27:45You will say
27:46yes,
27:47won't you?
27:51There you are!
27:52What happened?
27:52What did he say?
27:53Did he ask you?
27:54He's not going
27:54to ask her.
27:55That's his.
28:02Mrs. Bennet!
28:07Are you
28:08quite all right?
28:09Oh, it's
28:10nothing.
28:11Nothing at all.
28:13May I speak
28:14with you in private?
28:16I have something
28:17very important
28:17I want to discuss
28:18with you.
28:37Mother had told me
28:39to prepare myself
28:42but nothing
28:43could prepare me
28:45for what
28:46happened next.
29:14To be continued
29:17Amen.
