00:03The End
00:56She is still crying.
00:59When will she ever stop?
01:02She will not talk.
01:04Something more than what he owed us must have happened.
01:07Well it was no falling away of his love Eleanor. I could see that.
01:11I know what has happened.
01:13That aunt of his suspects his regard for Marianne and has invented this business to send him away.
01:19Mama I cannot help suspecting that there is something unpleasant.
01:23It may be proper to hide their engagement from his aunt.
01:27But if they are engaged there is no reason for hiding it from us.
01:32From us? When they've made their affections plain every day?
01:35Why not ask her whether she is engaged to Willoughby?
01:38How can we?
01:40Mama you are so gentle she would trust you.
01:44I would not ask her such a question for the world.
01:47Why have I not?
01:48Well suppose they were not engaged.
01:51How it would pain her to admit it.
01:53But then she must have the less to grieve for.
01:56And if she and her lover have their secret who am I to pry?
01:59It would be cruel.
02:00I should never deserve her confidence again.
02:06Then there is only one physic for her.
02:10Activity.
02:16You ought to take up your music again.
02:19Yes.
02:22I'm sure we can find a good teacher in Exeter.
02:32Oh this is lovely.
02:36We must come and sketch from here.
02:38Yes.
02:41Who are those two riders?
02:48Eleanor, it's Willoughby.
02:50It is, I know it.
02:52Marianne, it is not Willoughby.
02:54Oh it is, it is.
02:56Oh it is.
02:58Oh it is.
02:59Oh it is.
03:01Oh it is.
03:02I knew it.
03:03Mr. Ferris.
03:08Miss Marianne.
03:11Miss Eleanor.
03:13And do you come from London, Edward?
03:16No.
03:18I have been spending a fortnight with friends near Plymouth.
03:23You have been two weeks in Devon and not seen a summa.
03:27And not one letter from you.
03:29Ever.
03:30Marianne, Mr. Ferris was under no obligation to write.
03:35And have you been lately in Sussex?
03:37I was at Norland about a month ago.
03:39And how does dear, dear Norland look?
03:41Dear, dear, Norland probably looks much as it always does at this time of year.
03:46And how long will you be with us?
03:48I plan to stay only the one night.
03:51Oh my dear boy.
03:53I could not go by without at least seeing you.
03:55Seeing you all.
03:57Tell me Edward.
03:59What are your mother's plans for you now?
04:02Are you still to be a great orator in spite of yourself?
04:05No.
04:06I hope she understands by now that I have no talent or wish for fame.
04:10Well for your own sake you should have a profession.
04:12True.
04:12True.
04:14But my mother and I never could agree.
04:16I have no desire for public life or the army.
04:20I'm too old for the Navy.
04:22I always wanted the church.
04:25But that is not considered smart enough.
04:28So here I am, properly idle.
04:30Then I wish you would look a little happier about it, Edward.
04:34Oh, when was I ever cheerful.
04:37I offend without meaning to.
04:38People think me negligent when I'm merely awkward.
04:41I sometimes think nature destined me to keep low company.
04:44I'm so little at my ease among strangers of gentility.
04:48Oh come, Edward.
04:49Can you call us strangers?
04:51You are too good for me.
04:54All of you.
04:55Young man, this is a melancholy that must be cured.
04:59We cannot let you go away after but one night.
05:02I thought it better so.
05:04Are you expected?
05:06No.
05:08But you'll return to Norland then?
05:11I have no pleasure at Norland.
05:13I detest town, but either Norland or London it must be.
05:17Why?
05:18The countryside is so beautiful here and we are your friends.
05:22Oh, if I but could.
05:24You are free?
05:25Of course you can.
05:27Unless you fear to find the life dull.
05:29Dull?
05:31My greatest happiness is in this house.
05:36Yes, I will stay.
05:37Oh, hurrah.
05:39What is that?
05:40A lock of hair?
05:41Is it your sister's?
05:44Yes.
05:44Yes, it is my sister's.
05:46I thought her hair was darker.
05:48Well, I suppose it changes colour with the light.
05:54Mother, I have not tried on my new dress yet.
05:58I'm sure Edward will forgive the two of us if we go upstairs for a few minutes.
06:03Oh.
06:04Of course, dear.
06:09Helena.
06:11Tell Edward about your sketching.
06:21Miss Helena.
06:25I must go down to the village.
06:27Make sure that my man is seen to the horses.
06:31Please excuse me.
06:50You are not bored, Edward.
06:52I could never be bored in this house.
06:57That lock of hair was yours.
06:59I could tell by the colour.
07:01It wasn't as dark as mine.
07:03It was.
07:04He's shy.
07:05It was a message to you.
07:07I wish I had your gift of imagination.
07:10I've never given him a lock of hair.
07:12Oh, he is a mysterious man.
07:14I would not put it past him to contrive some lover's trick.
07:18When you had your hair dressed, at Norland he could have bribed a maid.
07:21You must come with us to the south end of Barton Valley.
07:25Ah, girls.
07:27Is not the southern part of the valley the best?
07:29Oh, it's exquisite.
07:31I shall order a carriage.
07:32Then the excursion will not be too strenuous.
07:34Oh.
07:37Hello.
07:38Morning, Sir John.
07:39Oh.
07:40That is our neighbour, Sir John Middleton.
07:42He's been very kind to us.
07:48Good morning, Sir John.
07:50Right here.
07:52Good morning, ladies.
07:54Oh, thank you.
07:56We have a visitor to introduce to you.
07:58Oh, no.
07:59Came to have a look at him.
08:00We hear everything up at the park.
08:01Oh.
08:02Mr. Edward Beres, Sir John Middleton.
08:05So, dear boy, are you one of the Tunbridge Wells family?
08:08I have that on me, sir.
08:10Do come into the house.
08:13There's ours at Eaton with your uncle.
08:14He became a general, yes?
08:16Yes.
08:16Oh, Lord knows how we keep the colonies.
08:18Ha, ha, ha, ha.
08:21Ha, ha, ha.
08:21Ha, ha, ha.
08:22Ha, ha, ha.
08:23Oh, my dears.
08:24We have more guests coming to stay and an invitation to you to Needham.
08:28That includes you, sir.
08:29You can't let a fine young man slip.
08:31Sir John is forever entertaining.
08:33A dinner tomorrow night when the guests have arrived and this time we'll have some dancing.
08:37Hey.
08:37Who are you expecting, sir John?
08:39My sister Charlotte Palmer and her husband.
08:41You haven't met them.
08:42Oh, it will be a great pleasure to do so.
08:44Ha, ha.
08:44You'll like Charlotte.
08:46Oh, two young ladies we met in Exeter.
08:48Mrs. Jennings found they were relatives and, well, cousins are cousins, I always say, of a distant.
08:55There's two young sisters named Steele.
08:57Oh, we've never met any Miss Steele's in Exeter.
08:59No, you wouldn't.
09:01I'll tell you the truth, Lady Middleton didn't take too much, but never turn away a pretty face, eh, young
09:07man?
09:08I'm afraid I shall not have the pleasure of meeting you.
09:12We need you.
09:13We're sure, dear young men.
09:15I regret I must be here in the morning.
09:17Edward, Edward, don't you not to stay here.
09:20I have recalled necessary matters.
09:22I'm sorry I misled you, but I must go first thing.
09:25Oh, do come now, pray come.
09:27You must come, I declare, you shall come.
09:30Well, I'd best go off down the valley and see who else I can whip up.
09:35Until tomorrow evening, ladies.
09:39Young man, sir.
09:42Ben, ten minutes ago you were planning an excursion with us.
09:48I forgot something I had no right to forget.
09:52Forgive me.
10:12Do I really?
10:15Oh, I'm so glad you could come early.
10:19Come along, my dears.
10:21You must meet my younger daughter and her husband,
10:25Mr. and Mrs. Palmer of Cleveland.
10:27Charlotte, my ma'am.
10:29This is Miss Dashwood and Miss Marianne Dashwood.
10:32I feel I know you both already after all that I've heard.
10:36How do you do?
10:37And behind that newspaper is Mr. Palmer.
10:41How do you do?
10:43Come and sit down, my dears.
10:47You may believe how glad I was to see Charlotte,
10:51although maybe she should not have traveled in her condition.
10:58Is there any news in the paper?
11:01None at all.
11:03Has anyone interesting arrived in town, Mr. Palmer?
11:08Mr. Palmer doesn't hear me.
11:10He never does.
11:13Isn't he droll?
11:16You have yet to meet the Miss Steeles.
11:18They are on the lawn.
11:20I confess I was a little anxious before they arrived.
11:24Not a genteel upbringing, I feared.
11:27But they are so fond of children,
11:29and my little darlings adore them.
11:31Oh, look at little Anna Maria.
11:35Oh, William is so enjoying himself.
11:42Perhaps Miss Steeles would prefer to meet us a little later.
11:45True, they are not even changed for dinner.
11:48The dear children are becoming overheated.
11:50Robbins, take them upstairs.
11:56I had better go up to the nursery.
11:59Amuse yourselves.
12:02Oh, Miss Dashwood, do pray sit down.
12:04Why, thank you.
12:10Mr. Palmer?
12:12Why don't you put away that newspaper
12:14and abuse us, ladies?
12:17That is an ill-bred remark, madam.
12:19Ah, abuse me as much as you like.
12:23You have taken Charlotte off my hands,
12:25and you cannot give her back again.
12:30What the devil does Sir John mean
12:32by not having a billiard room in his house?
12:36Oh, all many and bright, eh?
12:39All met each other good friends.
12:42Why, no smile, Miss Marianne.
12:46Oh, is it the absence of a certain young gentleman from Allen?
12:51Oh, pray do not be shy before us.
12:53Mr. Willoughby's little estate is near ours,
12:56not more than ten miles off.
12:58That means thirty, of course.
13:00There is not much difference.
13:04I never was at his house,
13:05but they do say it is a pretty place.
13:08As vile a spot as ever I saw in my life.
13:12Poor Mr. Palmer, always out of humour.
13:16He has been so busy, you see,
13:18canvassing to get into Parliament,
13:20and he is forced to make everybody like him.
13:26There was talk of me marrying Colonel Brandon at one time,
13:30but Mama objected to it.
13:32Still, I am happy as I am.
13:34Mr. Palmer is just the kind of man I like.
13:39I never met your Mr. Willoughby,
13:41but all speak well of him,
13:43and Mama tells me that you and me are of him.
13:47Excuse me, she's not very well.
13:55Why do they keep asking us here?
13:58It's all so tedious and dull.
14:01Ah, Miss Dash, well, there you are.
14:04May I present to the Miss Stevens?
14:06Miss Steele, Miss Lucy Steele,
14:09Miss Dashwood, Miss Marianne Dashwood.
14:11How do you do?
14:12How do you do?
14:13Well, I'm sure you girls have lots to talk about.
14:18What a sweet woman Lady Middleton is.
14:21A gentleman to charming mother.
14:23Such beautiful children they have.
14:25I quite dote upon them already.
14:28I should suppose so,
14:29in what I saw upon the lawn this afternoon.
14:32I have a notion
14:33that you prefer to see children tamed.
14:35Quiet.
14:36I must confess that when I am at Barton Park,
14:39I never think of tame and quiet children
14:41with any abhorrence.
14:48You know, how do you like Devonshire Miss Dashwood?
14:50I suppose you were very sorry to leave Sussex.
14:52I was.
14:53Northern is a prodigious beautiful place, is it not?
14:56I think everyone who has seen it has admired it.
15:00Had you a great many smart bows there.
15:02Look, Dan, you're always talking of bows.
15:06You must not ask the Miss Dashwood that.
15:09I fear I cannot tell you, for I do not perfectly understand the meaning of that word.
15:15I have not had the pleasure of visiting Norland, Miss Dashwood, but I long to do so.
15:21Do you?
15:22Yes, one who knows it intimately has told us so much about it.
15:25But I'm aching to dance.
15:27Come on.
15:28The bees are waiting for us.
15:52Thank you, Dan.
15:54I really enjoy that.
15:55You dance so much.
15:57At my age, that is the supreme compliment.
16:01I hope I can soldier a little for the absence of a certain young man whose name begins with F.
16:09Oh, Miss Nadia.
16:10Do you do anything on?
16:12Very well.
16:17Every beau in the room wants to dance with my sister and me, Miss Dashwood, but one has to rest.
16:21Of course.
16:23But do tell me, I cannot bear mysteries.
16:24I should be up all night guessing who is this Mr. F for whom you are pining.
16:29I am pining for nobody, Miss.
16:32You may remember, Miss Dashwood, that my sister spoke of a friend who had told us so much about Norland.
16:38I wonder if that is the same Mr. F.
16:42Who might that be?
16:44A Mr. Ferrars.
16:46You are acquainted with Mr. Ferrars?
16:49Quis...
16:49Oh, we met him at our uncle's with whom we live when we are not invited about.
16:55He was four years a scholar under my uncle's tutorage.
16:58Oh, really?
17:00What a small world.
17:05Oh, but, Anne, you're looking tired.
17:08We must retire.
17:10Come, my dear.
17:11Miss Dashwood.
17:17Miss Dashwood.
17:19Miss Dashwood.
17:19We have so much in common.
17:21I'm sure I found a friend in you.
17:25Would it be an impertinence to call upon you tomorrow morning?
17:30Pray do.
17:33Miss Dashwood.
17:43You may find this question surprising.
17:45But, pray, are you acquainted with your sister-in-law's mother, Mrs. Ferrars?
17:51I have never seen Mrs. Ferrars.
17:53Indeed.
17:55I thought you must have met her sometimes at Norland.
17:58Then perhaps you cannot tell me what sort of a woman she really is.
18:02I know nothing of her.
18:05I'm sure you think me very strange for asking.
18:08But there are reasons.
18:11I wish I could tell you.
18:14Please believe that I do not mean to sound impertinent.
18:18I cannot bear to have you think me impertinent.
18:22There is no one whose good opinion I so much want.
18:26And I am sure I can trust you.
18:29I am surprised.
18:31Until last night I never understood you were at all connected with that family.
18:36Mrs. Ferrars is nothing to me at present.
18:38But the time may come when we may be very intimately connected.
18:44Are you closely acquainted with Mr. Robert Ferrars?
18:48Robert Ferrars?
18:49That great Cogscombe?
18:51Although I've never met him.
18:53No.
18:55With his elder brother, Edward.
19:00Edward.
19:01I have been engaged to him these four years.
19:07Four years.
19:10When he was at my uncle's.
19:14It has been a great secret.
19:18Only my sister knows.
19:19And I rely upon your secrecy.
19:25I do not think Edward will mind you knowing.
19:28For he looks upon you and Miss Marianne as quite his own sisters.
19:37Oh what a pretty garden.
19:39May we go out and see it?
19:45I was very young and unwilling to venture into it.
19:49But I loved him too well to be as prudent as I ought to have been.
19:53Although you do not know him as well as me, Miss Dashwood,
19:56you must be aware how capable he is of winning a woman's heart, certainly.
20:02You must keep my secret.
20:04If it should reach his mother, she would never approve.
20:07Your secret is safe with me.
20:11I was afraid you would think I was taking a great liberty with you.
20:16I have not a soul whose advice I can ask.
20:20I only wonder that I am alive after these four years.
20:24He hardly ever comes.
20:27Sometimes I think it would be better to break it off.
20:30But then he would be so unhappy.
20:34And so would I.
20:37I'm sure I wonder that my heart is not quite broke.
20:42What shall I do?
20:44I'm sorry I can give you no advice.
20:49He came to see you recently, did he not?
20:52But until then he'd been spending a fortnight with us in Plymouth.
20:56He was heartbroken to leave.
20:59Did he not seem in low spirits when he came to you?
21:03I gave him a curl set in a locket.
21:09Perhaps you saw it when he was here.
21:11I did.
21:14I must go.
21:17I am glad we've talked.
21:20I knew you would understand.
21:24Good day, Miss Ashford.
21:26Good day.
21:27Good day.
21:32Now, ladies, who is for cards?
21:35We might play a robber of casino.
21:38Just the thing, I said.
21:39I would be delighted.
21:41Lady Middleton, I must finish dressing the dog that I promised you're angelic Anna Maria.
21:46Very well. Do not hurt your eyes.
21:50There is still much to be done.
21:51perhaps I may be of some help to miss Lucy. you are very kind. sit by me miss
21:57Eleanor and to help me dress the doll. so good of you to organize a ladies evening
22:03dear much as we enjoy the company of the gentlemen.
22:12since you honored me with your confidence I have wanted to speak with you further.
22:17so have I. thank you for breaking the ice. I thought I had offended you. how could
22:25you suppose? and yet I do assure you I felt sure he was angry with me. you're very
22:32unfortunate. you will have to be sure of a great mutual affection to support you. I
22:38believe Mr Ferris is entirely dependent on his mother. she is a headstrong woman they say.
22:45she will leave everything to Robert. that would be terrible for Edward. and for you?
22:53or are you unselfish beyond reason?
22:56no. I have a plan. it does concern you. how could it concern me?
23:06Edward wishes to take holy orders. as a churchman he would have a living.
23:13out of your friendship for him. could you not persuade your brother to give him the church living at Norland?
23:22and then we could marry without delay.
23:28my word would come for nothing with my brother. but it would listen to his wife.
23:33Edward's sister. she is against him going into the church so Edward says.
23:39then I can do nothing.
23:42what are you two young ladies whispering about Miss Eleanor?
23:46young men. I'll warrant.
23:49mine I think ladies.
23:53madam you cannot leave the table now.
23:56oh well we shall just have to continue without her.
23:59how's it yet?
24:00Miss Kelly won't you join us?
24:05now dear. I have been wanting to talk to you about London.
24:09about London?
24:10all the family are going up for the winter and we shall have fine times.
24:16London is a wonderful place you know.
24:18I know.
24:19and I want you two girls to come and stay at my house after Christmas.
24:24that is very kind of you but...
24:26no but.
24:27you will keep me company.
24:28and if I don't get one of you well married by the time I've finished with you
24:34it won't be my fault.
24:37oh I'm overjoyed.
24:40to think that my girls will have a season in London.
24:45mother we cannot leave you on your own in the depths of winter.
24:49I shall have Tom and Susan.
24:51and I have a little plan to order your bedrooms.
24:54which I can now carry out without inconvenience to anyone.
24:57oh you are a good mama.
24:59thank you.
25:02thank you.
25:03there is one objection which in my opinion cannot be removed.
25:07oh the expense is it?
25:08dear to prudent Elinor.
25:10no.
25:11mrs jennings.
25:12she's a kind-hearted woman but not one whose company we much enjoy or whose protection will give us any
25:18standard.
25:18she's another good woman.
25:20and you'll almost always appear in public with lady middleton.
25:24if Elinor is frightened off by mrs jennings I have no such scruples.
25:28I would put up with any unpleasantness to go to London.
25:31and I shall.
25:33well of course you shall my dear.
25:37Elinor I would have you both go now.
25:40no more nonsensical objections.
25:42oh mother you've made me so happy.
25:51you know very well why she is enraged to go to London.
25:55I imagine Mr. Willoughby is there.
25:58not one word or letter has she had from him since he ran off.
26:03not one.
26:04you would not have her pursue him.
26:06I want her happiness Elinor.
26:09I would not stand in her way.
26:13excuse me.
26:18mother.
26:27mother.
26:27good
26:28father.
26:29her
26:30mother.ああ.
