[Applause]

such a well we're in very good time I

think oh but so water you always are I

hope so I hope so

how do you do Captain wwth my Miss

Elliot good

evening the weather has been very sad

since you

arrived oh I never let the weather

bother

me unless I'm at sea

how do you like bath so far oh it seems

perfectly delightful I'm tell the singer

tonight is very good is he I'm afraid

I've never heard of him before well nor

had I until

yesterday I've hardly seen you since our

day at lime I'm afraid you must have

suffered very much from the shock of the

accident no no I was upset of course as

everyone was but nothing more it was a

frightful

moment frightful

day however the day did have some

effects some consequences which are not

frightful at all yes I know when you had

the presence of mine to send benck for

the surgeon you could hardly have

guessed the important part he would play

in Louisa's recovery indeed I did not

but it seems I think it will be a happy

match don't you yes yes they're very

fortunate they have no difficulties to

cope with at home no opposition from

parents no Caprice or delays no so I

understand all this is very much in

favor of their happiness more

than but I must confess I do think

there's a great disparity there between

their minds I mean well Louise is a very

amiable sweet tempered girl and not

stupid and benck something more he's a

clever man a man of a real feeling yes I

know a man like that in his situation

with a heart almost

broken Fanny har was a very Superior

woman you know and his attachment to her

was an attachment indeed so I have heard

people say man does not recover from

such a Devotion to such a woman he ought

not

to you again you must excuse me sir this

is my party of course perhaps I'll see

you in the concert room oh I hope

so Elliot left

[Music]

alone for

[Music]

pray and

pray

[Music]

pray pray God

did you like that song Oh yes I thought

it was very pretty oh it was but I

couldn't admire it as much as I should

you see I didn't understand a word of it

oh well this is what he was saying my

heart finds no peace away from my dear

beloved there remains only pain to

lerate my breast return my beloved to

the arms which love you and peace will

like my soul

forever that all doesn't seem very much

for such a long song well he says it all

several times but that's more or less

the sense of it or rather the meaning of

the words one mustn't talk of sense in

an Italian love song Oh indeed not but

that's as near to the meaning as I can

give you I don't pretend to understand

the language I'm a very poor Italian

scholar yes yes I see you are I see you

know nothing of the matter at all you

only understand it well enough to

translated sites is inverted transposed

curtailed Italian lines into clear

comprehensible elegant English you need

say nothing more of your ignorance that

was complete proof well I never refuse

such polite kindness sir but I would be

sorry to be examined by an expert oh my

dear cousin I've not had the pleasure of

visiting in Camden Place so often

without finding out something about Miss

Anne Elliot and I must tell you I think

she is far too modest for the world in

general and too highly accomplished for

modesty to be natural in any other woman

for shame this is too much flattery

besides perhaps I've known about you

longer than you think oh well how pray

unless you heard my family mention me

you cannot have known about me before I

came to bar I heard about you by report

long before that I'd heard you described

by an intimate friend oh I know all

about you for years looks character

accomplishments everything but how who

told you aha oh you must tell me not now

some other time perhaps but not now it's

not fair no the fairness is all on your

side you're making it all up perfectly

true I assure you you can assure me as

much as you like but unless you say who

told you these things I Shan believe a

word of it you may believe it or not as

you

choose many years ago I I heard such a

description of you that I wanted to meet

you ever

since for

[Music]

I hope you're enjoying the concert oh

very much and you I confess I'm a little

disappointed oh

why i' hoped the singing would be better

don't you like the tenor then not very

much to tell you the truth I shall not

be sorry when it's all over oh that's

too harsh there's always some pleasure

to be got from music the orchestra is

not bad

surely no I suppose not

you're very good at finding reasons for

enjoying things oh I have so few

opportunities of listening to good music

I'm not at all a good judge oh you

mustn't say that it's true I'm afraid

but however bad the performance I always

try to imagine how good it ought to be I

don't really listen properly at all

you're even cleverer than I thought that

means you listen twice at the same time

all I was trying to say was that even

though you're probably quite right about

the singer I'm still enjoying the

concert oh you shame

I must try to be imaginative like you

then perhaps I should enjoy

everything I beg your pardon Miss Elliot

we must appli you again to know what

this next song is about Mr Elliot says

you're so good at

Italian let me see it's another love

song n it's more pain and grief I

suppose I'm afraid so yes sweet hope now

returns to my soul and calm to my sad

heart you dear damsel who have put so

much trust in in me I suppose you will

find one man faithful in love oh it's a

happy one then yes it seems to be my

heart is content with its dear object

which will shine forever in my breast

how Charming is that all yes quite

enough who could ask for more than

content in the dear object of his heart

thank you my dear cousin yes thank

you I must wish you good night once

aren't you staying for the rest of the

concert no I I must be going I let get

home as soon as possible but surely this

next song is worth staying for no there

is nothing worth staying for here for me

oh Miss Elliot good morning good morning

Mrs

Rook well Miss Elliot we weren't

expecting you but I said yesterday that

I was coming this morning Mrs Rook I

know you did I know you did

look Mom Miss Elliot has come after all

good

morning I don't understand what Mrs Rook

means I said yesterday that I was coming

so of course I have come and I'm very

grateful we really weren't expecting you

but why not oh we know all about the

concert last night Miss Elliot oh I was

afraid you would they can't be very much

left for me to tell you oh I think there

is well I enjoyed myself very much

although some people were dissatisfied

with the singing but not with other

things not at all the orchestra really

played quite well I thought oh the

orchestra we don't want to hear about

that we want to know who was there oh

well everybody I suppose I saw Miss

Atkinson there I think and the little

darrens with their mouths open to catch

the music like unfledged sparrows

waiting to be fed they never miss a

concert well I didn't see them myself

but Mr ell said he saw them did he now

oh you saw enough for your own Amusement

I dare say I of course you did Mom you

didn't have to tell me you had a

pleasant evening I could see it in your

eye oh yes I can see how you spent your

time between the songs there was

conversation there was always something

agreeable to listen to you could see all

that in my eye my dear I can tell that

last night you were the person you find

the most agreeable in the world the

person who interests you more at the

moment than all the rest of the world

well put

together this is no place for me I can

see excuse

me I really do appreciate your kindness

in coming here this morning Anne you

must have so many much more pleasant

demands on your time but how did you

know

ah tell me is Mr Elliot aware that you

know me I mean does he know that I'm in

bath Mr Elliot

do you know Mr Elliot well I used to

know him quite well but it's a long time

since we last met you never told me if

you had I would have talked to him about

you well to tell you the truth that's

exactly what I want you to do talk to

him about me he can be very useful to me

you see and of course if you ask him

anything it is done oh I am only his

cousin you know I have no great

influence or claim over him oh I beg

your pardon I've been a little premature

I see

I should have waited for official

information but tell me as an old friend

when may I speak next week no not next

week nor the week after I am not going

to marry Mr

Elliot I should really rather like to

know why you imagine I am well all men

are refused until they offer of course

but Mr Elliot has never even dreamed of

offering and if he ever does I certainly

Shan accept him I assure you no

no it was not Mr Elliot whose presence

gave me so

much I simply can't understand what ever

gave you such an idea well it was nurse

Rook she got it all for Mrs Wallace who

seemed a very good authority well I'm

sorry to disappoint you but Mrs Wallace

is quite wrong

well of course I shall still be very

happy to help you in any way I can with

Mr

Elliot you said you've known him a long

time yes yes I have since before he was

married yes well do tell me what he was

like then was he anything like he is now

well I haven't seen him for 3

years I'm very sorry I don't know what

to

do I I don't want to seem officious or M

making you know I would never think

that I think you should know what Mr

Elliot is really

like what he's a man without heart or

conscience he thinks of no one but

himself he has no feelings for other

people

whatever forgive

me Mr Elliot was the intimate friend of

my dear

husband he trusted and loved him and

thought him as good as himself yes oh

yes Mr Elliot was poor in those days but

he always had a home with us when he

wanted

it that must be about the time that he

met my father and Elizabeth in

London he did something unworthy then I

don't know what it was but he he

slighted my father at a time when my

father was prepared to be perfectly kind

to him oh he wanted to be rich to marry

money not wait to inherit it

he thought your father wanted him to

marry Elizabeth but that wouldn't give

him his freedom so he

married his wife was a very low woman

they say yes but money money was all he

was after her father was a grazier her

grandfather a butcher and he didn't mind

all he cared about was her

Fortune as to the honor of his

family well he used to say that if

baronet's were for sale anyone could

have his for £50

arms motto name and Livery

included I can give you full

proof you see that inlaid box on the

desk there would you give it to me yes

of

course thank

you this is the letter Mr Elliot wrote

to my poor husband before we were

married here it is you better read it

yourself dear

Smith your kindness almost overpowers me

I wish nature had made such Hearts as

yours more common at present believe me

I have no need of your services being in

cash again well my husband lent him so

much give me joy I have got rid of Sir

Walter and Miss Elliot they have gone

back to Kellen and almost made me swear

to visit them this Summer this is quite

true we expected him but he never came

go on

an but my first visit to Kellen will be

with a surveyor to tell me how I can

bring it under the hammer to the best

Advantage oh it's too much there's

more the baronet is even worse than last

year I wish I had any name but Elliot I

I'm sick of

it I thought you should see it it shows

you the

man

yes thank you this proves that

everything you've said is

true

except why does he want to know us now

oh he really does want to marry you it

seems he's quite sincere about it

how do you know all this you haven't

seen him for three years you said no but

Kel Wallace sees him every day and Mr

Elliott tells him everything and Colonel

Wallace tells Mrs Wallace Mrs Rook I

see there's another thing

too well what is it Mrs clay your

sister's friend Mrs

clay but what has she to do with it I'm

told she has every intention of marrying

your father if she can

well

yes I think that is probably true your

sister may not realize it but other

people do and Mr Elliott is older now

than he was when he wrote this he has

the greatest respect for titles and

connections these days he has all the

money he wants already is this true oh

yes he set his heart on being Sir

William

now and of course if you're father

marries

again well Mr Elliot may have to remain

Mister for the rest of of his

life I

see Mrs Wallace has an amusing idea that

it's to be put into your marriage

articles with Mr Elliot that your father

is never to marry Mrs clay I don't find

that very

funny well as Mrs Rooks says it wouldn't

stop him marrying someone else would it

what a very silly woman Mrs Wallace must

be

well I'm very glad you told me all this

I shall know exactly how to behave to Mr

Elliot in future I thought you should

know but you still haven't told me how I

could help you oh it's very simple once

Mr Elliot was married he was rich and he

led my husband into expenses far beyond

his means I see fortunately he died

before he knew knew the whole story he

made Mr Elliot his executor and what has

he done nothing that's the trouble he's

refused to act look here's one of his

letters he refuses to help me at all you

see that's his notion of

gratitude then why did you praise him to

me

what else could I do I thought it was

all

arranged I couldn't tell you the truth

if you were engaged to

him I think you should have done he

didn't love his first wife I thought he

did love you and if you loved him well I

thought you might do

better

well I hope I

shall

ah and you still haven't told me why I

was

wrong who is he

an Ask Mrs

Rook can I do anything for you while I'm

out Elizabeth

oh are you going out too yes well you

might have said so earlier you could

have saved Penelope the trouble of going

to college for me but it's too late now

she's gone well I'm really only going to

see Lady Russell can I give her any

message no just my love and mine don't

kind disregards say I'll call on her one

day soon won't you I didn't know you

were planning to call on her father why

not I should only leave my card oh I see

a morning visit isn't fair in a woman of

her age who makes yourself up so little

if only she'd wear some Rouge she

wouldn't need to be so afraid of being

seen oh is she afraid oh yes last time I

call the blinds are loaded

immediately I wonder who that is Mr

Elliot I expect he comes at all hours oh

an you know perfectly well Mr Elliot's

gone to Thornbury Park he won't be back

in bath till our party tomorrow evening

it's just someone else I dare say who

wants to know us and whom we don't want

to

know Mr Mrs Charles mgro oh

Mary oh

wonderful Mar well no no we were not

Mary how are you sir very well indeed

and you Elizabeth very well why didn't

you tell us you were coming there was no

point in writing besides we weren't sure

we were coming or who was coming with us

till the day before yesterday oh so

you're a party are you well Mrs mgro

Henrietta Captain Harville and us if you

can call that a party we're here to buy

wedding clothes for Henrietta and Louisa

I see where are you stay at the White

House oh good I was afraid well we could

hardly put you all up here I'm afraid

much though we would have liked to of

course I wish you could Elizabeth our

drawing room at the end isn't nearly so

handsome as this well I dare say no this

is only half of it Mary do come and see

the

V oh

dear bath I never like

it but it's good to see you again an and

you the did you say that you had come to

buy clothes for Henrietta and Louisa oh

yes then can Charles hater afford to

marry yes he has a temporary living He

and Henrietta will be getting married at

about the same time as Louisa and James

benick oh how very nice and where is the

living is it anywhere near up across not

far about 25 miles oh I am glad this has

happened henrieta and Louisa have always

been such good friends I really am glad

well it's a very fair match for nowadays

and I've liked Charles all my life

you're all very lucky you know your

parents have never been interested in

any anything except your happiness but

is Louisa fully recovered again now oh

yes well I think so she's recovered

physically I mean but well she seems to

have altered oh well you remember how

she used to run around and jump about

and laugh and dance well there's no more

of that if you so much as shut the door

a little too hard she starts and

wriggles like a young dab chick in the

water really yes and benick sits there

reading poetry to her and whispering

things into her ear all day long I don't

know well you wouldn't like that I know

oh beni's a good fellow really as a

matter of fact I've got to know him

better recently we had a splendid set

two last Monday rat hunting in my

father's great Barn he did very

well what are you laughing at

an Charles have you ever seen such China

oh yes yes very fine very fine

indeed the mirrors what a lot of mirrors

yes we're rather pleased with the house

beautiful place like this Charles oh

it's no bigger than uppercross Cottage

really is it oh Charles I do hope you

be there too yes oh then may I come with

you I should so like to see her again

Capital come along Mary we'll see you

and Elizabeth later then sir indeed

indeed goodbye Elizabeth goodbye goodbye

Elizabeth goodbye goodbye

for an evening father rather than to

dinner so few people give dinner parties

here besides they'll be meeting our

cousin lady down inle quite the Widow of

a

Vicon they'll give them something to

talk about when they get home they'll

boast about that and up across you may

be sure

the right moment I'm so happy for you

Henrietta oh I know you are an you well

colonade Mrs CLA who your sister's

good Heavens I know who it is it's our

cousin Mr Elliot oh oh no it can't be

Mary Mr Elliot left bath this morning

but it is are you telling me I can't

recognize the family features of course

it's Mr Elliot and I'm sure you could

tell us for certain yes come and see for

yourself then but quickly they

party

there yes you're quite right

Mary he must have changed his

plans or else I misunderstood them I

wasn't really listening

properly

mother I've done something that's going

to make you very pleased with me I've

got a box for the theater for tomorrow

night now aren't I a good boy good

Heavens Charles how could you think of

such a thing have you forgotten we said

we'd go to my father's tomorrow oh but

if there's a choice especially Mrs

Musgrove to meet our cousins lady dmle

and miss cartrid and Mr Elliot it's all

the principal family connections I don't

know what Charles was thinking of what

an evening party nothing ever worth

remembering if your father had really

wanted to see us he should have asked us

to

dinner Mrs is Musgrove I appeal to you

yes well we better put the play off

Charles there you better change the box

to Tuesday we don't want to be divided

and if there's a party at her father's

tonight Miss Anne won't be able to come

to the play will she and I'm sure

neither Henrietta nor I would like it if

Miss Anne wasn't there you're very kind

Mom if I were free to choose for myself

I'd much rather go to the theater I

don't really like evening parties but as

Mary seems so anxious to go thank you

well I'll get you all another box for

Tuesday but I shall still go to the

theater tomorrow night myself Charles

you will not oh I most certainly shall

no Mary I do believe Charles may be

teasing you

what oh

Charles you're so Gable now believe

anything I see you still haven't been in

bath long enough to get a taste for

itself social life oh and I hope I never

shall parties mean nothing to me usually

I don't play cards you know

no no you never did I remember now used

not to like

cards but time makes many

changes it is a long time

indeed 8 and a half years is a long time

yes Penelope everyone we want is coming

yes Miss Lady Dar rle Miss C lady

Russell Mrs MGR and Henrietta oh you've

forgotten Mr Elliot I'm sure miss Anne

hasn't I no I counted him already he's

almost part of the family oh I do so

like to see him and my father together

he looks at Sir Walter with such respect

oh delightful just like a son to his

father oh dear Miss Elliot may I not say

a son to his father open pel if you will

such idea oh Mrs clay I was so surprised

this morning I thought Mr Elliot was at

Thornbury but I could have sworn that I

saw him with you yeah oh dear very true

what's this pel I meant to tell you Miss

Elliot I met him in B Street I was never

more astonished in my life he turned

back and he walked with me to the pump

room oh well what made him change his

plans oh something or other stopped him

getting off when he meant to I forget

what I was in a hurry and not paying

much attention besides all he talked

about was getting back in time for your

party oh did he yes he was most anxious

to know how early he could come tomorrow

he was full of Tomorrow well but why

didn't you tell me this before Penelope

I was so full of Tomorrow myself that I

forgot all about

[Laughter]

it oh good morning Miss good morning Mrs

MRE good morning Mom good morning good

morning good morning morning Mary and

Henrietta will be back in a moment do

sit down my dear the L if be a moment

I'll write that letter Now Well ma'am

then Mr Musgrove and my brother hater

met again to talk it all over you see

and the young people would not be denied

well I can understand that after all Mr

hater isn't so very young is he oh they

were quite wild about it you know and we

thought it to be better than a long

engagement that's just what I was going

to say it's good for young people to

have to struggle a little together on a

small income much better than a long

engagement Oh My Dear Mrs Croft there is

nothing I abominate more than a long

engagement

look at this Miss Elliot what is it a

portrait do you know who that is it's

Captain benick right so you can guess

who it's for Louisa naturally but it

wasn't done for her oh no no benick met

some clever young German at the cape sat

to him for my poor sister she wanted a

picture of him you see yes of course do

you know what he wants me to do now get

it set properly for

Louisa I'm really rather shocked that he

should be so insensitive

yes well I'm not sorry to hand the task

over to someone else I can tell you

wentworth's writing about it now oh I

see poor Fanny she wouldn't have

forgotten him so soon no I can well

believe that no it wasn't in her nature

she doted on him you know it wouldn't be

in the nature of any woman who truly

loveed do you claim so much for your sex

certainly we don't forget men as soon as

you forget us H we can't help ourselves

we live at home quiet and confined we

have so much time to let our feelings

prey on us do you imagine men's feelings

don't prey on them oh but men are always

doing things you have your professions

and occupations as always some business

or other to take you back again into the

world at once no your feelings aren't as

strong as ours well I believe the

opposite I believe there's a real

correspondence between our our minds and

our bodies just as men have stronger

bodies than women so they have stronger

feelings too ah then if our bodies are

weaker you must grant that our feelings

are tenderer they're more

susceptible perhaps now there's no

question about it you don't know what it

is to feel like a woman and it would be

too much for you if you did too much oh

yes men have so many physical

difficulties to struggle within their

lives if they had to struggle as we do

with feelings as well it would be too

much all together well we shall never

agree I'm oh if you finish that letter

went U not quite just a a few lines more

I I shall be done in 5 minutes well

there's no hurry on my side I've been

very good Anchorage

here we shall never agree I'm afraid

perhaps no man or woman ever could well

let me at least try to persuade you all

history is against you you know and all

literature pros and verse no no proofs

from literature men have always had

every advantage in giving their side of

the story oh now why do you say that

because it's true men have always had a

much better education than women their

hand has held the pen not ours no I

won't allow you any proof from books

well then where shall we find proof

nowhere I do believe you're trying to

get out of it oh

no women lead quiet lives they knowledge

is drawn from their observation of their

own little

circle if I were to give you my proof I

would be betraying

confidences ah yes I see well if you put

it like that of course we must simply

agree to differ very well

but if I only could make you understand

how a man

suffers when he takes his last look at

his wife and children when he watches

the boat that he sent them away and for

as long as he can still see it and then

when he turns away and says God knows

whether we shall Ever Meet Again well I

think I do

understand the only privilege I claim

for my own sex and it's not a very end

able one you needn't covered it is that

of loving longest when life or hope are

gone you're a good soul I shall quarrel

with you and when I think of benck well

my tongue is tied well Frederick you and

I part company here I

think

what what well I'm going home and you

have an engagement with your friend oh

yes yes we separate here we shall all

meet again at your party Miss Elliot we

have had your sister's card yesterday

I'm so glad you are coming and

Frederick's coming too I think aren't

you Frederick yes very true what you

going you heard a word I've said uh well

Harville and I will soon be after you

that is if you're ready Harville I'll

only be half a minute I know you want to

be off I should only be half a minute

goodbye Mrs M

goodbye well Miss Elliot I shall try to

persuade you some more this evening oh I

think I was only saying that perhaps

Captain Bennett does not have a mind to

affliction

ah perhaps so perhaps so let's go Alin

well very

well well goodbye miss OT Mrs Musgrove

sir God bless

you I beg your pardon ma'am I forgot my

gloves by all means by all means

I don't know where Mary and Henrietta

can be my dear it's all right Mama I

I'll just wait here by the that's right

amuse yourself my

dear I can listen in silence no longer I

must speak to you as I can you pierce my

soul I'm half Agony half hope don't tell

me I'm too late that such precious

feelings have gone forever too

late I offer myself to you again with a

heart which is even more your own than

when you almost broke it 8 and a half

years

ago never say that men forget sooner

than women that their love is the first

to die I have never loved anyone but you

I may have been unjust I may have been

weak and resentful but never Inc

constant I only came to Bath because of

you I think and plan only for you have

you not seen this can you fail to

understand what I

want I would not have waited even these

last 10 days to speak if I only could

have guessed your feelings as I'm sure

you have guessed mine I will only be a

moment my dear I must just go and post

this well well bless

me oh I can hardly write every moment

you say something which overwhelms

me your voice sinks but I can hear every

syllable when others

cannot oh you are too good too excellent

you do Us justice indeed you do believe

there is true love and true constancy

among

men believe them to be most fervent most

undeviating in Frederick Wentworth

I must go uncertain of my fate but I

shall come back here or follow you as

soon as possible a word a look will be

enough to decide whether I enter your

father's house this

evening or

never oh

Frederick Frederick Frederick

oh they are miss you can put your book

Away now come with we've had such a good

Goodbye Charles and thank you goodbye

then well Miss

Elliot well

sir where shall we go anywhere you like

so long as it's not to my father

this 8 and a half years it's enough to

have changed every pore of one's skin

and every feeling in one's heart and yet

our feelings haven't changed

no mine never altered ever except to

grow deeper I never dared to imagine it

and what I did Imagine was so terrible

and I never imagined you imagining such

a

thing not till the concert oh that

concert I didn't hear a note

you should have known me better than to

be jealous of Mr Elliott but everyone

was saying that you everyone was wrong

[Laughter]

though I've never loved anyone but you

an

nor I anyone but

you I tried to forget you I even thought

I succeeded I thought I was in different

but I was really only angry well perhaps

you were right I was still angry when we

met again at uppercross oh and I was

still bitterly regretful and then at

lime I suddenly realized I thought you

were in love with Louisa oh I tried to

be I knew it was impossible but I did

try and then at time I realized I never

stopped loving you I didn't know what to

do everyone thought like you that I was

virtually engaged to Louisa and then

then the accident and

then oh

God I had to get away so I went to my

brothers it was through him we first

met

yes do you know what he asked

me had you altered much you wanted to

know and what did you say to my eye you

could never alter a is that what you

told

him not quite

oh that

concert with your cousin sitting on one

side of you and Lady Russell on the

other lady Russell she's a very good

woman Frederick oh is she she persuaded

you once don't

forget I thought she was trying to

persuade you again to marry Mr Elliot I

thought everything was against me I'm

not a girl now you know you are to me

I was

wrong to yield to her then but I thought

I was doing my duty a very strange sort

of Duty she could never have persuaded

me to do the opposite to marry a man I

didn't

like well I suppose I should have known

better but you can imagine my fears you

yielded to her once after all and there

she was still sitting next to you how

was I to know she couldn't persuade you

again

Frederick no one will ever persuade me

to do anything

again except you

[Music]

your cousin and Captain wer seem very

deep in talk Elliot cousin which cousin

an look at them anyone would think they

were

engaged Captain wiw yes but I thought

you were I told you I wasn't in the

least attracted by Mr Elliot you should

have believed

me my

dear I don't know what to say there's

nothing to say now my dear my dearest an

I only did what I thought was right I

know now I hope that I can persuade you

and not that you were wrong then but

that I am right now well it'll take some

getting used to but all I've ever wanted

is for your happiness you know then you

won't find it hard to love Frederick too

you must begin tonight at our party I

shall make

you come

on but my things what do you need with

them I'll buy you new ones better ones

come on

I congratulate you an oh thank you Mom

you have deceived us all our thoughts

lay in quite another Direction yes an

where's Mr Elliot tonight I don't know

and I don't

care Char yourself I can't understand

father she seems to have disappeared

what Penelope it's not like her perhaps

she's not feeling well she's not in her

room

[Music]

a oh good evening lady Russell well

Walter were you as surprised as I was

surprised Oh by an you mean no no no no

not surprised well are you pleased well

not a bad match for an even though he is

a sailor not at all ill looking no I've

seen him by daylight I've hied him well

you'll do for an evening who's

that well well you gave us no warning of

this did you wward well surprise is

always the best form of attack Harville

well well it's about time you were

married you're not as young as all that

thank you

[Music]

Captain Wentworth I must ask you to

accept my very best

wishes you're very kind mom I think you

know I've always loved an like my own

daughter yes M I have had reason to know

it I hope you will believe me when I say

that it was always her happiness that I

was thinking of and of which I'm still

thinking now yes Mom and thank

you well Mom are you as pleased as I am

well I don't know quite how pleased that

is but I'm very pleased for myself and

so am I I've always liked an she's so

sensible and she's much the most

interesting of those three sisters don't

you agree oh yes and the one with the

sweetest nature it's so obvious that

she'll make a good wife I can't

understand why no one's ever asked her

to marry them before well and about time

too what I say I thought we were never

going to get Frederick married when

benck went off with what's that girl's

name my sister Louisa that's right

Louisa well thank heavens he's off our

hands at last Admiral couldn't you be a

little more well no M he's perfectly

right everybody should get married as

soon as possible all hanging about never

does anybody any good at all exactly

well I'm delighted to have been of some

service to you Admiral well tell you

have my dear but we should expect to see

a good deal of you both at Kellen of

course indeed we shall I don't believe

it it's not possible my Mr Elliot's my

Heir but it's here in black and white

sir let me see I I'd rather not show it

to you sir it's not entirely respectful

but I felt you should know oh yes yes

thank you sir is something the matter

father yes my dear thank you bace thank

you it it isn't about Penelope is it I'm

afraid

so she's run off with your cousin my

Heir Mr Elliot

I thought he was Irish when I first saw

him I'm delighted Captain Wentworth is

much richer than either captain benck or

Charles

hater he's a capital shot tuner she's a

girl after my own

heart isn't it wonderful we're all

getting married

now but father what are we going to do

about it nothing we must behave as

though nothing has happened or will

happen yes you're quite right of course

we are very ill used Elizabeth very ill

used indeed but we mustn't show it

no well shall I get them all to sit down

to cards now yes yes excellent idea

shall we all sit down now

no

cards you're sure you haven't changed

quite sure

frck I've been thinking about the past

for all we've suffered I was right I

think I mean I was only obeying my

conscience I can't reproach myself with

that can I it's not a bad thing in a

woman to have a strong sense of Duty ah

duty to whom oh I hope you're going to

try and forgive lady Russell me not yet

but perhaps in time please Frederick oh

yes I'll

try I may even

succeed I've been thinking to

her I've been wondering if someone may

not have been an even worse enemy to me

than lady Russell I mean

myself tell me if I'd written to you 18

months after you after our engagement

wasb would you have answered me would I

oh why didn't you write ah because I was

too proud to ask you again I didn't

understand you or do you justice oh

Frederick you and I are going to have to

make an

agreement to do what never to reproach

ourselves or each other with What Might

Have Been or we shall make a sad

pair

yes yes agreed

[Music]

what I should just have to learn to put

up with being far happier than I deserve

[Music]
