(KNOCK AT DOOR)
2
00:00:30,624 --> 00:00:35,140
Oh, Miss Woodhouse, how lovely!
My cold is nearly better.
3
00:00:35,304 --> 00:00:38,899
- I do hope you had a happy Christmas.
- Very pleasant, thank you.
4
00:00:39,064 --> 00:00:41,624
- Thank you for your gift.
- Thank you for yours.
5
00:00:41,784 --> 00:00:46,494
- I've nearly finished it...
- Harriet, I have some unpleasant news to impart.
6
00:00:46,664 --> 00:00:49,019
I scarcely know how to begin.
7
00:00:49,184 --> 00:00:52,381
- Bad news, Miss Woodhouse?
- I am afraid so.
8
00:00:52,544 --> 00:00:56,696
It concerns Mr Elton. It was
after Mrs Weston's party on Christmas Eve.
9
00:00:56,864 --> 00:00:59,139
He is not ill? Say he is not ill?
10
00:00:59,304 --> 00:01:01,977
No, Harriet, he is perfectly well.
11
00:01:02,144 --> 00:01:06,296
But I feel I have been grossly deceived in him,
grossly deceived!
12
00:01:06,464 --> 00:01:09,740
In Mr Elton? Oh, Miss Woodhouse!
13
00:01:10,384 --> 00:01:14,457
Harriet, I do not know how to say this,
14
00:01:14,624 --> 00:01:19,254
but the marked partiality
we both assumed his manner bore to you
15
00:01:20,304 --> 00:01:23,660
was apparently intended to be directed at...
16
00:01:25,264 --> 00:01:27,255
...at myself.
17
00:01:28,064 --> 00:01:31,056
At you, Miss Woodhouse?
18
00:01:31,784 --> 00:01:34,139
Then you mean he never...
19
00:01:38,864 --> 00:01:42,300
Poor Harriet! I suffer for you, truly I do!
20
00:01:42,464 --> 00:01:45,183
But what did he say? What did he do?
21
00:01:45,344 --> 00:01:48,381
I have no intention of recounting the scene.
22
00:01:48,544 --> 00:01:53,493
Sufficient to say that his behaviour in the carriage
coming home was both vulgar and offensive.
23
00:01:54,264 --> 00:01:58,098
- Oh... Mr Elton?
- Yes, Harriet, Mr Elton.
24
00:02:01,184 --> 00:02:07,532
Poor Harriet! You have every reason
to be distressed. But I blame myself very largely!
25
00:02:07,704 --> 00:02:12,698
These last few wretched days, I have scarcely
known how to face the thought of telling you.
26
00:02:12,864 --> 00:02:17,813
Miss Woodhouse, you have nothing in the world
to reproach yourself with! Nothing!
27
00:02:18,464 --> 00:02:22,742
Dear Harriet, I only wish I had
half your good nature and sweet temper.
28
00:02:22,904 --> 00:02:24,895
The fault was all mine.
29
00:02:25,064 --> 00:02:28,898
It was foolish of me
ever to persuade myself that...
30
00:02:29,064 --> 00:02:31,532
a man in Mr Elton's position could...
31
00:02:32,544 --> 00:02:35,297
...could ever think of such a person as myself.
32
00:02:36,304 --> 00:02:42,061
I will not argue with you, because I do not wish
to speak of this wretched business ever again.
33
00:02:42,224 --> 00:02:45,421
- No.
- We must put it quite behind us.
34
00:02:45,584 --> 00:02:49,259
- Yes.
- We must present a brave face to the world.
35
00:02:49,424 --> 00:02:54,339
Now that Christmas is over we must go out and
about again, now that your cold is so much better.
36
00:02:54,504 --> 00:02:55,823
Yes.
37
00:02:55,984 --> 00:02:59,215
Nobody knows anything of this distressing affair
38
00:02:59,384 --> 00:03:03,172
but you, myself, and the person concerned.
39
00:03:03,344 --> 00:03:05,983
He at least has had the decency to go away.
40
00:03:06,824 --> 00:03:10,260
Mr Elton gone away? Oh, where?
41
00:03:10,424 --> 00:03:15,418
To Bath, Miss Bates says. And she is
generally well informed upon all such matters.
42
00:03:15,584 --> 00:03:19,941
I must say, I am agreeably surprised
that he should show such delicacy.
43
00:03:20,104 --> 00:03:22,777
(HARRIET SOBS)
44
00:03:22,944 --> 00:03:25,060
Oh, Harriet!
45
00:03:25,224 --> 00:03:27,613
I'm sorry, Miss Woodhouse.
46
00:03:27,784 --> 00:03:30,139
I just can't seem to help it.
47
00:03:32,864 --> 00:03:35,094
He was so handsome.
48
00:03:38,784 --> 00:03:43,096
Whether it was the gruel
which was a little thicker than usual...
49
00:03:43,264 --> 00:03:46,540
It's so unlike Cook.
She's most scrupulous as a rule.
50
00:03:46,704 --> 00:03:49,343
Or whether it was the toast, I do not know.
51
00:03:49,504 --> 00:03:54,373
But I heard the church clock strike
every quarter up to five o'clock.
52
00:03:54,544 --> 00:03:57,138
- Emma!
- Mr Knightley!
53
00:03:57,304 --> 00:03:59,898
- You're looking smart.
- I did not know you were here.
54
00:04:00,064 --> 00:04:03,101
He has some rather melancholy news, my dear.
55
00:04:03,264 --> 00:04:04,583
Oh?
56
00:04:04,744 --> 00:04:09,454
You may consider it melancholy.
It doesn't disturb me or fill me with astonishment.
57
00:04:09,624 --> 00:04:13,014
Mr Weston's son has once again
postponed his visit.
58
00:04:13,184 --> 00:04:14,902
No!
59
00:04:16,704 --> 00:04:19,696
Poor Mrs Weston. How very distressing for her!
60
00:04:20,864 --> 00:04:23,981
Emma, you are not going out? It would be unwise.
61
00:04:24,144 --> 00:04:29,741
Yes, Papa, I am. Now that Christmas is behind us
I have a number of calls I am obliged to make.
62
00:04:30,864 --> 00:04:35,984
Dear Emma! Always so ready to wear herself out
in the service of others!
63
00:04:36,144 --> 00:04:38,214
Excuse me, sir.
64
00:04:46,144 --> 00:04:51,776
Really, I am deeply sorry for Mr and Mrs Weston,
that they should be put about in this manner.
65
00:04:51,944 --> 00:04:55,903
I have no doubt Mr Churchill
has his reasons for the alteration,
66
00:04:56,064 --> 00:05:01,058
but I have often thought that Mrs Churchill
must be a very exacting guardian.
67
00:05:01,224 --> 00:05:04,261
Very likely indeed she's at fault. Even so.
68
00:05:04,424 --> 00:05:06,619
If he had been so anxious to see his father,
69
00:05:06,784 --> 00:05:10,379
he could have contrived it
between September and January.
70
00:05:10,544 --> 00:05:13,217
Yorkshire is some considerable distance.
71
00:05:13,384 --> 00:05:17,218
Distance did not prevent him
holidaying in Weymouth last summer.
72
00:05:17,384 --> 00:05:19,295
No, Emma, it will not do.
73
00:05:19,464 --> 00:05:25,380
A man who felt rightly would say, "My father has
married again. It is my duty to pay him a visit."
74
00:05:25,544 --> 00:05:29,583
A fine show of gratitude to the aunt
who has the goodness to bring him up!
75
00:05:29,744 --> 00:05:33,453
Really, Mr Knightley!
You are determined to think ill of him.
76
00:05:33,624 --> 00:05:38,618
Me! Certainly not. I should be as ready
to acknowledge his merits as anybody.
77
00:05:38,784 --> 00:05:44,575
But I hear of none, only that he's well grown and
good-looking and has smooth, plausible manners.
78
00:05:44,744 --> 00:05:49,738
If he has nothing but that to recommend him,
he will still be a treasure in Highbury.
79
00:05:49,904 --> 00:05:54,819
We do not often get the opportunity
to look upon fine, agreeable young men.
80
00:05:54,984 --> 00:05:59,136
Can you not imagine
what a sensation his coming will bring?
81
00:05:59,304 --> 00:06:03,695
There will be but one topic of conversation
over the parishes of Highbury and Donwell,
82
00:06:03,864 --> 00:06:07,459
one object of curiosity, Mr Frank Churchill.
83
00:06:07,624 --> 00:06:11,902
Hmph! You will have to excuse me
for being so overpowered, I'm afraid.
84
00:06:12,064 --> 00:06:15,534
If he is agreeable to talk to
I shall be glad of his acquaintance,
85
00:06:15,704 --> 00:06:20,220
but if he's merely a chattering coxcomb
he shan't occupy much of my time or thoughts.
86
00:06:20,384 --> 00:06:25,174
My idea of him is that he will be able
to adapt his conversation to suit everybody.
87
00:06:25,344 --> 00:06:30,213
To you he will talk of farming
and to me of music and drawing and so on.
88
00:06:30,384 --> 00:06:35,856
What, only three and twenty and
already the practised drawing-room politician?
89
00:06:36,024 --> 00:06:40,461
My dear Emma, your own good sense
would not tolerate such a puppy for five minutes.
90
00:06:40,624 --> 00:06:44,583
I will speak no more about him.
We are both prejudiced.
91
00:06:44,744 --> 00:06:49,693
- Prejudiced? I'm not prejudiced.
- No? Well, I am. In his favour.
92
00:06:49,864 --> 00:06:54,176
My love of dear Mr and Mrs Weston make it so
and I am not ashamed of it.
93
00:06:54,344 --> 00:06:57,177
And now, if you will forgive me, Mr Knightley.
94
00:07:16,584 --> 00:07:19,974
I thought we would call first
upon Miss Bates and her mother.
95
00:07:20,144 --> 00:07:21,463
Yes.
96
00:07:21,624 --> 00:07:27,699
But I must warn you that a certain person's name
is bound to crop up in the course of conversation.
97
00:07:27,864 --> 00:07:32,619
This must be painful to you, I know,
but you must learn to disguise your feelings.
98
00:07:32,784 --> 00:07:36,663
- I will do my best, Miss Woodhouse.
- I am sure you will.
99
00:07:36,824 --> 00:07:41,181
At least you will not have to listen too attentively
to Miss Bates.
100
00:07:41,344 --> 00:07:45,701
And we should be spared her letter
from the all-too-perfect Miss Fairfax,
101
00:07:45,864 --> 00:07:49,015
because her day for writing is generally a Friday.
102
00:07:49,184 --> 00:07:54,383
- Yes, Miss Woodhouse.
- Come, now. Let me see your smile once again.
103
00:07:58,824 --> 00:08:01,133
Miss Woodhouse! And Miss Smith!
104
00:08:01,304 --> 00:08:04,421
Goodness, what a pleasant surprise! Come in!
105
00:08:04,584 --> 00:08:08,657
- Thank you. We will not stay a moment.
- Sit down, won't you?
106
00:08:08,824 --> 00:08:12,658
This is Harriet's first visit
since being unwell before Christmas.
107
00:08:12,824 --> 00:08:16,021
Let me get you a little glass of something.
108
00:08:16,184 --> 00:08:19,972
Mother, Miss Woodhouse has come to see you.
Is that not kind of her?
109
00:08:20,144 --> 00:08:23,898
I heard them knock and I thought,
"Who can this be, this time of the day?
110
00:08:24,064 --> 00:08:27,261
"It cannot be Mr Elton because he's away at Bath
111
00:08:27,424 --> 00:08:32,214
"and enjoying a great round of social visits,
according to Mrs Cole."
112
00:08:32,384 --> 00:08:36,172
But I'm so glad it was you,
because we have a visitor!
113
00:08:36,344 --> 00:08:40,132
- A visitor?
- Yes! Can you not guess who? My niece Jane!
114
00:08:40,304 --> 00:08:43,501
- Jane Fairfax is here?
- She arrived yesterday.
115
00:08:43,664 --> 00:08:46,497
And is to stay with us for some time!
116
00:08:46,664 --> 00:08:50,782
- She's upstairs in her room!
- Then please do not let us disturb you.
117
00:08:50,944 --> 00:08:53,094
Patty! Patty dear!
118
00:08:53,264 --> 00:08:56,176
Patty, run upstairs to Miss Jane's room
119
00:08:56,344 --> 00:09:01,213
and tell her that Miss Woodhouse has called
with the express hope of finding her in!
120
00:09:01,384 --> 00:09:04,421
It's so kind of you! She'll be delighted, I know.
121
00:09:05,144 --> 00:09:11,094
Miss Woodhouse and my niece are just of an age
and grew up together, eh, Miss Woodhouse?
122
00:09:11,264 --> 00:09:15,462
- Yes, but...
- You should see these two entering a ballroom!
123
00:09:15,624 --> 00:09:18,661
Two such handsome girls it would be hard to find.
124
00:09:18,824 --> 00:09:23,898
- Please, Miss Bates.
- That is the truth, miss, whatever you may say!
125
00:09:24,064 --> 00:09:27,181
Oh, but poor Jane! She is not strong.
126
00:09:27,344 --> 00:09:32,179
She lost her parents at an early age and has
been brought up by a Colonel and Mrs Campbell.
127
00:09:32,344 --> 00:09:36,257
Very nice people. Gentlefolk, of course.
128
00:09:36,424 --> 00:09:38,335
But she has nothing of her own
129
00:09:38,504 --> 00:09:43,134
and now, owing to her circumstances,
she will have to find some sort of employment!
130
00:09:43,304 --> 00:09:47,695
Before she comes down I must tell you,
she's received an excellent offer.
131
00:09:47,864 --> 00:09:51,698
- An offer, Miss Bates?
- Yes, a Mr and Mrs Dixon!
132
00:09:51,864 --> 00:09:54,936
A couple she met whilst on holiday at Weymouth.
133
00:09:55,104 --> 00:09:58,335
A very elegant, well-connected couple,
I believe.
134
00:09:58,504 --> 00:10:01,496
They were so taken with Jane that he has written,
135
00:10:01,664 --> 00:10:06,818
positively insisting that she join their household
to teach the two young children music.
136
00:10:06,984 --> 00:10:09,134
Is that not a fine offer?
137
00:10:09,304 --> 00:10:11,374
Miss Fairfax must be very pleased,
138
00:10:11,544 --> 00:10:15,856
but is it not a little unusual
for the gentleman to make the arrangement?
139
00:10:16,024 --> 00:10:21,974
The Dixons are very highly thought of, I believe,
but you must get Jane to tell you all about it.
140
00:10:22,144 --> 00:10:27,662
- If she does not come down in one moment...
- Ah, there you are, dear Jane!
141
00:10:27,824 --> 00:10:32,693
- Look who is here, and come to see you.
- Good morning, Miss Fairfax.
142
00:10:32,864 --> 00:10:37,415
- Good morning.
- Miss Smith, this is my niece Miss Fairfax.
143
00:10:37,584 --> 00:10:41,782
- Good morning.
- Jane, you will want to sit by Miss Woodhouse.
144
00:10:41,944 --> 00:10:46,222
You'll forgive these two, Miss Smith,
but you see how it is, I'm sure.
145
00:10:50,224 --> 00:10:52,943
We will not stay for more than one moment.
146
00:10:53,104 --> 00:10:57,063
- You must still be fatigued after your journey.
- Yes, a little.
147
00:10:59,264 --> 00:11:04,133
- But you had good weather for it, I hope?
- Oh, yes, thank you. Very fair.
148
00:11:04,304 --> 00:11:06,659
Good, I am so glad.
149
00:11:06,824 --> 00:11:11,420
Travelling at this time of year can be so irksome,
I always think. Do not you?
150
00:11:11,584 --> 00:11:13,939
Yes, very.
151
00:11:14,104 --> 00:11:18,097
My only sorrow is I no longer have
an instrument for her to play upon.
152
00:11:18,264 --> 00:11:21,620
She has the most delicate touch,
has she not, Mother?
153
00:11:21,784 --> 00:11:27,017
I was saying what a pity it is we no longer
have our piano for Jane to play upon!
154
00:11:27,184 --> 00:11:31,177
In our old home
things were quite different, Miss Smith.
155
00:11:31,344 --> 00:11:37,738
Miss Bates, please feel free to bring Miss Fairfax
around at any time to use our instrument.
156
00:11:37,904 --> 00:11:41,453
Miss Woodhouse, how generous!
How kind, eh, Jane?
157
00:11:41,624 --> 00:11:42,943
Thank you.
158
00:11:43,104 --> 00:11:45,664
Why not all come on Tuesday evening?
159
00:11:45,824 --> 00:11:50,500
Then Miss Fairfax can play to her heart's content
and entertain us all at the same time.
160
00:11:51,624 --> 00:11:55,856
- I hope you will come, Harriet.
- I would love to, Miss Woodhouse, thank you.
161
00:11:56,024 --> 00:11:59,539
Miss Woodhouse, what a delightful suggestion!
Eh, Jane?
162
00:11:59,704 --> 00:12:01,695
How can I thank you?
163
00:12:04,064 --> 00:12:07,613
Your aunt tells me
you are about to take up a teaching post,
164
00:12:07,784 --> 00:12:10,298
but I hope you will not be leaving us too soon.
165
00:12:10,464 --> 00:12:14,742
Well, I'm afraid my future plans
are still extremely uncertain.
166
00:12:14,904 --> 00:12:19,898
In your letter you said that the offer was definite
and you'd almost decided upon acceptance.
167
00:12:20,064 --> 00:12:24,615
- You did, dear, I have the letter. Just a moment!
- Aunt!
168
00:12:24,784 --> 00:12:30,063
Aunt! What I wrote you in my letter
was intended to be in confidence.
169
00:12:30,224 --> 00:12:32,692
Oh, my dear, I am so sorry.
170
00:12:32,864 --> 00:12:38,939
Jane love, I do apologise if I've said anything
unwise, but it seemed such a fine generous offer!
171
00:12:39,104 --> 00:12:42,540
- Please, Aunt!
- From people of such standing, too!
172
00:12:42,704 --> 00:12:47,414
I said to Mother they must be gentlefolk to
have made such a remarkably generous an offer!
173
00:12:47,584 --> 00:12:50,098
- Did I not, Mother?
- Aunt, please!
174
00:12:53,864 --> 00:12:57,743
We should be going.
I promised Harriet would not be late home.
175
00:12:57,904 --> 00:13:01,783
- Miss Woodhouse, must you go?
- So we shall see you on Tuesday night.
176
00:13:01,944 --> 00:13:04,504
Miss Bates. Miss Fairfax.
177
00:13:07,024 --> 00:13:09,333
Jane dear! What is it?
178
00:13:09,504 --> 00:13:11,620
What have I done?
179
00:13:11,784 --> 00:13:13,536
Nothing, Aunt.
180
00:13:14,504 --> 00:13:17,814
(PLAYS GENTLE MELODY)
181
00:13:43,544 --> 00:13:45,739
(WHISPERS) Very pretty.
182
00:13:47,984 --> 00:13:49,940
(SNORING)
183
00:13:55,384 --> 00:13:57,659
(APPLAUSE)
184
00:14:01,224 --> 00:14:03,658
Thank you, Williams.
185
00:14:03,824 --> 00:14:07,339
Yes, a very pleasant evening, Emma.
Extremely pleasant.
186
00:14:07,504 --> 00:14:12,259
Thank you, Mr Knightley.
I am most happy you approved on this occasion.
187
00:14:12,424 --> 00:14:14,892
- Thank you, my dear.
- There, Papa.
188
00:14:15,064 --> 00:14:17,658
Miss Fairfax played exceptionally well, I thought.
189
00:14:17,824 --> 00:14:20,054
Exceptionally well.
190
00:14:20,224 --> 00:14:23,580
- But you do not find her sympathetic?
- I did not say so.
191
00:14:23,744 --> 00:14:26,542
My dear Emma, you have no need to.
192
00:14:26,704 --> 00:14:28,820
If you want the truth,
193
00:14:28,984 --> 00:14:31,100
I find her reserved.
194
00:14:31,264 --> 00:14:35,416
I always told you that she was.
No doubt it arises from her circumstances.
195
00:14:35,584 --> 00:14:41,022
- A natural diffidence, which you will overcome.
- You find her diffident. I do not see it.
196
00:14:42,064 --> 00:14:44,703
But you had quite a long conversation with her.
197
00:14:44,864 --> 00:14:48,652
Yes, I asked her all about her holiday
in Weymouth and plans for the future.
198
00:14:48,824 --> 00:14:50,143
Well?
199
00:14:50,304 --> 00:14:54,343
I was amused to find
how little information I obtained.
200
00:14:55,184 --> 00:14:59,336
- I am disappointed.
- But she is an extremely elegant creature.
201
00:14:59,504 --> 00:15:01,893
One cannot take one's eyes off her.
202
00:15:02,064 --> 00:15:04,737
And I do pity her circumstances, from my heart.
203
00:15:05,464 --> 00:15:09,855
Yes, it's most unfortunate that
their circumstances should be so confined.
204
00:15:10,024 --> 00:15:13,380
- One wishes one could do more.
- Father?
205
00:15:13,544 --> 00:15:18,493
Poor old Mrs Bates. She was quite
a gentlewoman by birth, you know. Oh, quite.
206
00:15:19,504 --> 00:15:24,624
But I did not come here to discuss last night's
entertainment. No, I have an item of news...
207
00:15:24,784 --> 00:15:28,697
Emma dear, remember to send them
a hind quarter of our own pork.
208
00:15:28,864 --> 00:15:31,253
I have already done so, Papa.
209
00:15:31,424 --> 00:15:35,542
Emma, I have an item of news
which might be of interest to you.
210
00:15:35,704 --> 00:15:39,060
Mr Knightley, since when have you become
a bearer of gossip?
211
00:15:39,224 --> 00:15:42,978
- If you do not wish to hear my information...
- I said nothing of that.
212
00:15:43,144 --> 00:15:46,659
- Mr Cole...
- Make sure that they cut it into steaks.
213
00:15:46,824 --> 00:15:50,214
- Nicely fried without too much grease.
- Yes, Papa.
214
00:15:50,424 --> 00:15:54,258
Do not on any account let them roast it.
Do you hear me?
215
00:15:54,424 --> 00:15:57,097
Hartfield pork is not rich, but it is still pork
216
00:15:57,264 --> 00:16:00,620
and no young or delicate stomach
can digest it roasted.
217
00:16:00,784 --> 00:16:02,934
Of course, Papa.
218
00:16:03,104 --> 00:16:07,063
Now, what is this news of yours
that will interest me so much?
219
00:16:07,664 --> 00:16:11,577
- I met Mr Cole...
- We were just passing by!
220
00:16:11,744 --> 00:16:15,498
Mr Woodhouse! How are you this morning?
No, don't get up.
221
00:16:15,664 --> 00:16:18,417
- Miss Woodhouse. Mr Knightley.
- Miss Bates.
222
00:16:18,584 --> 00:16:21,417
How can I thank you? I'm quite overwhelmed.
223
00:16:21,584 --> 00:16:24,382
Such a beautiful hind quarter of pork.
224
00:16:24,544 --> 00:16:27,456
I said to Jane, "That must be from Hartfield!
225
00:16:27,624 --> 00:16:31,014
"No one but the Woodhouses
could have been so generous."
226
00:16:31,184 --> 00:16:34,142
And have you heard the news?
227
00:16:34,304 --> 00:16:36,420
Mr Elton is to be married!
228
00:16:36,584 --> 00:16:39,860
- Mr Elton?
- Yes, married!
229
00:16:40,024 --> 00:16:43,334
A Miss Augusta Hawkins of Bristol!
230
00:16:43,504 --> 00:16:47,292
So Mrs Cole's note said.
It only came five minutes ago.
231
00:16:47,464 --> 00:16:50,058
Well, seven perhaps, would you say, Jane dear?
232
00:16:50,224 --> 00:16:55,981
I'd gone down to see Patty about the salting pan
for the pork, and at that moment the note came!
233
00:16:56,144 --> 00:17:01,662
Mr Elton to be married! I have no doubt he will
have everybody's wishes for his happiness!
234
00:17:01,824 --> 00:17:05,976
I cannot see why he should be
in such a hurry to settle.
235
00:17:06,144 --> 00:17:08,817
We were always pleased to see him as he was.
236
00:17:08,984 --> 00:17:12,181
This will mean a new neighbour for us all,
eh, Miss Woodhouse?
237
00:17:12,344 --> 00:17:17,896
My mother is so pleased. She says she cannot
bear to see the old vicarage without a mistress.
238
00:17:18,064 --> 00:17:20,624
This is great news indeed!
239
00:17:23,064 --> 00:17:25,942
You are silent, Miss Fairfax,
240
00:17:26,104 --> 00:17:29,858
but I do hope you mean
to show an interest in this news.
241
00:17:30,024 --> 00:17:33,937
When I have seen Mr Elton for myself
I have no doubt I shall be interested,
242
00:17:34,104 --> 00:17:36,743
but I find it requires that with me.
243
00:17:36,904 --> 00:17:40,374
Miss Augusta Hawkins of Bristol, so it is said!
244
00:17:40,544 --> 00:17:43,263
I had thought it would be a lady from hereabouts
245
00:17:43,424 --> 00:17:47,622
but then I'm not particularly quick
at these sort of discoveries.
246
00:17:47,784 --> 00:17:50,252
Miss Woodhouse lets me chatter on!
247
00:17:50,424 --> 00:17:54,337
She knows I wouldn't offend
for anything in the world.
248
00:17:54,504 --> 00:17:58,053
How is little Miss Smith?
Quite recovered now, it seems.
249
00:17:58,224 --> 00:18:03,696
Jane dear, I think we'd better be running along.
Good morning, Miss Woodhouse! Good morning!
250
00:18:03,864 --> 00:18:06,981
Ooh, Mr Knightley is coming too! How very kind!
251
00:18:19,784 --> 00:18:22,662
Is Miss Woodhouse in, please? May I see her?
252
00:18:22,824 --> 00:18:25,019
Yes, miss, she's in the morning room.
253
00:18:29,184 --> 00:18:33,462
Miss Woodhouse! What do you think
has happened? Oh, dear! Such a thing!
254
00:18:33,624 --> 00:18:37,583
Oh, dear! Poor Harriet.
Do sit down and compose yourself.
255
00:18:37,744 --> 00:18:41,100
- Thank you, Miss Woodhouse.
- There, now.
256
00:18:41,264 --> 00:18:44,256
I left Mrs Goddard half an hour ago to come here
257
00:18:44,424 --> 00:18:48,178
and I had not gone further than the high street
when it came on to rain.
258
00:18:48,344 --> 00:18:51,575
I thought I would take shelter
for a moment in Ford's.
259
00:18:51,744 --> 00:18:54,656
So there I waited, without thinking, ten minutes,
260
00:18:54,824 --> 00:18:57,736
when who should come in but...
261
00:18:58,624 --> 00:19:03,937
- Oh, I cannot say it! I still feel so strange.
- Who was it, Harriet? Who came in?
262
00:19:05,904 --> 00:19:08,816
It was... Robert Martin
263
00:19:08,984 --> 00:19:11,544
and his sister.
264
00:19:11,704 --> 00:19:14,059
I thought for a moment I should have fainted.
265
00:19:14,224 --> 00:19:16,943
I... I did not know what to do.
266
00:19:17,104 --> 00:19:21,063
I could see them talking together
and then she came forward and spoke,
267
00:19:21,224 --> 00:19:25,854
but, Miss Woodhouse, she did not speak
as she used. I could see she was altered.
268
00:19:26,024 --> 00:19:29,175
Oh, I felt so dreadful!
269
00:19:29,344 --> 00:19:33,815
And then he came up to me slowly,
as if he did not know quite what to do.
270
00:19:33,984 --> 00:19:36,544
Goodness! I thought I should have dropped down.
271
00:19:36,704 --> 00:19:41,061
And he spoke and... I answered,
I do not know what.
272
00:19:42,064 --> 00:19:45,943
Then I took courage and said
it did not rain any longer and that I must go.
273
00:19:46,104 --> 00:19:51,417
- What happened then?
- I came here as fast as I could. I ran all the way.
274
00:19:51,584 --> 00:19:57,420
What should I have done? What should I
have said? I never felt so wretched in all my life!
275
00:19:57,584 --> 00:20:00,974
But why?
You have no reason in the world to feel awkward!
276
00:20:01,144 --> 00:20:04,898
- You think not?
- Of course not. None in the world.
277
00:20:05,064 --> 00:20:09,501
Dear Miss Woodhouse! Do please speak to me
and make me comfortable again.
278
00:20:09,664 --> 00:20:13,179
Oh, dear. Poor Harriet. I only wish I could.
279
00:20:13,944 --> 00:20:17,300
But I have something to tell you
that will not please you.
280
00:20:17,464 --> 00:20:18,783
Me?
281
00:20:18,944 --> 00:20:23,654
Something that will hurt you
and may distress me greatly in the telling.
282
00:20:24,584 --> 00:20:27,257
Harriet, Mr Elton is to be married.
283
00:20:29,424 --> 00:20:34,020
To some person he met while staying in Bath,
so I understand.
284
00:20:34,184 --> 00:20:36,652
Beyond that I am afraid I know very little.
285
00:20:37,904 --> 00:20:40,099
A lady of noble birth, I suppose.
286
00:20:40,264 --> 00:20:44,303
I feel it doubly unkind
that this blow should come so soon!
287
00:20:44,464 --> 00:20:46,739
I think it cruel of him, really cruel!
288
00:20:47,744 --> 00:20:52,738
- Poor Harriet!
- Please, take no notice of my foolishness!
289
00:20:53,784 --> 00:20:56,139
I suffer for you, truly I do.
290
00:20:56,304 --> 00:20:58,295
(WHISPERS) Miss Woodhouse.
291
00:20:58,984 --> 00:21:02,499
How fortunate you are not to be as weak as I am!
292
00:21:05,024 --> 00:21:07,777
Come, now, Harriet! The pain will soon pass.
293
00:21:07,944 --> 00:21:12,460
Now you must be getting back to Mrs Goddard.
She will be wondering where you are.
294
00:21:12,624 --> 00:21:14,899
Thank you, Miss Woodhouse.
295
00:21:15,064 --> 00:21:18,693
Harriet, you have nothing in the world
to reproach yourself with.
296
00:21:18,864 --> 00:21:22,618
I am sure you may hold up your head
in any company.
297
00:21:22,784 --> 00:21:25,014
(WHISPERS) Yes, Miss Woodhouse.
298
00:21:40,104 --> 00:21:43,733
- Emma, m'dear!
- Mr Weston! I did not know you were here.
299
00:21:43,904 --> 00:21:48,773
Come in here. I have a little surprise for you,
something I think should please you, eh?
300
00:21:49,944 --> 00:21:52,504
A visitor. Look, my son Frank.
301
00:21:55,824 --> 00:21:58,054
- Mr Churchill.
- How d'you do?
302
00:21:58,224 --> 00:22:00,863
I told you he'd come, didn't I? A day early, too!
303
00:22:01,024 --> 00:22:03,777
Draw nearer the fire. You must be cold out there.
304
00:22:04,624 --> 00:22:07,297
- Emma dear, find Mr...
- I'm so sorry.
305
00:22:07,464 --> 00:22:10,422
- Please, please, allow me.
- Thank you.
306
00:22:10,584 --> 00:22:13,974
I am not surprised that
you'd all begun to doubt my very existence.
307
00:22:14,144 --> 00:22:17,773
But it was high time
that I paid my true home a visit,
308
00:22:17,944 --> 00:22:20,458
especially now it is such a happy one.
309
00:22:20,624 --> 00:22:23,980
Your stepmother's quite taken with the lad,
I must say.
310
00:22:24,144 --> 00:22:29,980
I was not expecting to find a more than tolerably
well-looking person of a certain age.
311
00:22:30,144 --> 00:22:32,783
I had no notion I'd find a pretty young woman.
312
00:22:32,944 --> 00:22:35,822
Oh, hark at that, hey! You sly young rogue.
313
00:22:35,984 --> 00:22:40,136
You cannot see too many perfections
in Mrs Weston for my liking!
314
00:22:40,304 --> 00:22:45,662
Thank you! I have some business at the Crown
about a load of hay, so I must be getting along.
315
00:22:45,824 --> 00:22:48,702
No, no, don't you come, Frank, my boy.
316
00:22:48,864 --> 00:22:52,220
If she would tolerate your presence here
a little while longer...
317
00:22:52,384 --> 00:22:54,500
Most certainly I would!
318
00:22:54,664 --> 00:22:59,454
Thank you. Nevertheless, I think I had better
accompany my father. I have a call to make.
319
00:22:59,624 --> 00:23:02,582
- A call?
- Who do you know in Highbury?
320
00:23:02,744 --> 00:23:07,420
A Miss Baines or Bates? Though
I cannot claim to know the lady personally.
321
00:23:07,584 --> 00:23:11,293
- Miss Bates.
- Oh, so you know her, then?
322
00:23:11,464 --> 00:23:15,423
Everybody in Highbury knows Miss Bates
and her mother. They're friends of ours.
323
00:23:15,584 --> 00:23:19,543
- How did she become an acquaintance of yours?
- She is not, sir.
324
00:23:19,704 --> 00:23:24,095
But I recently met, briefly,
a kinswoman of hers, a Miss Fairfax.
325
00:23:24,264 --> 00:23:26,778
I promised to call upon her aunt with news of her.
326
00:23:26,944 --> 00:23:32,064
Jane Fairfax, her niece?
She is staying with her aunt now.
327
00:23:32,224 --> 00:23:35,057
Miss Fairfax is here in Highbury?
328
00:23:35,224 --> 00:23:40,173
Oh, excellent! Then my call upon her aunt
will be that much the pleasanter.
329
00:23:40,344 --> 00:23:42,335
So, if you will excuse me.
330
00:23:42,504 --> 00:23:47,373
Strange, I was only speaking to Miss Fairfax
yesterday. She did not mention the acquaintance.
331
00:23:47,544 --> 00:23:53,494
Then she has forgot it already. If that is so,
never mind. My visit need be no more than brief.
332
00:23:53,664 --> 00:23:57,134
But if you are calling on Miss Bates,
let my servant direct you.
333
00:23:57,304 --> 00:24:00,535
Let nobody be put to such trouble.
Father can direct me.
334
00:24:00,704 --> 00:24:02,695
But he is only going to the Crown
335
00:24:02,864 --> 00:24:07,016
and Miss Bates lives several houses further down
quite on the opposite side.
336
00:24:07,184 --> 00:24:12,542
It's a very muddy walk, unless you keep
to the footpaths. James can tell you.
337
00:24:12,704 --> 00:24:18,062
My good friend, it's kind of you, but Frank knows
a puddle of water when he sees one. Don't you?
338
00:24:18,224 --> 00:24:23,503
I trust so, sir, I trust so. Though I am
extremely grateful for the offer, of course.
339
00:24:23,664 --> 00:24:26,178
Well, goodbye, Miss Woodhouse.
340
00:24:26,344 --> 00:24:31,418
I sincerely hope we may have many more
opportunities of meeting while I am here.
341
00:24:32,264 --> 00:24:34,653
I hope so, Mr Churchill.

343
00:24:54,424 --> 00:24:57,257
Emma, my child! You are not going out, I trust?
344
00:24:57,424 --> 00:25:00,700
I wish to go to Ford's for a reel of pink thread.
345
00:25:00,864 --> 00:25:03,697
But one of the girls will go, if you ask them.
346
00:25:03,864 --> 00:25:08,460
It is a question of matching the colour
with some exactness, Papa.
347
00:25:08,624 --> 00:25:13,744
- Besides, the exercise is beneficial to my health.
- But not in this sharp unpleasant wind, surely?

349
00:25:16,104 --> 00:25:18,060
Oh, dear, oh, dear!
350
00:25:21,304 --> 00:25:23,499
Thank you.

(SHOP BELL RINGS)
352
00:25:31,904 --> 00:25:33,940
- Emma!
- Miss Woodhouse!
353
00:25:34,104 --> 00:25:36,095
Good morning!
354
00:25:36,264 --> 00:25:41,099
- What brings you out so early, pray?
- A small domestic errand. And you?
355
00:25:41,264 --> 00:25:45,462
One cannot come to Highbury without
entering Ford's, or so my father tells me.
356
00:25:45,624 --> 00:25:49,412
All the finest people of the neighbourhood
congregate here daily, I am told.
357
00:25:49,584 --> 00:25:53,020
Our meeting you like this proves the point!
358
00:25:53,184 --> 00:25:57,097
So, I must buy something at Ford's
to establish my position as a citizen.
359
00:25:57,264 --> 00:25:59,937
Well, now, what shall it be? A pair of gloves!
360
00:26:00,104 --> 00:26:03,301
I admire your patriotism, Mr Churchill!
361
00:26:03,464 --> 00:26:06,740
I am sure you were well respected
as Mr Weston's son.
362
00:26:06,904 --> 00:26:12,854
Lay out half a guinea for a pair of Ford's gloves
and you will be beloved by all in your own right!
363
00:26:13,024 --> 00:26:17,063
- It shall be done.
- Emma, I am leaving him in your charge.
364
00:26:17,224 --> 00:26:20,022
- But, Mrs Weston...
- I have some calls to make.
365
00:26:20,184 --> 00:26:22,744
Meet me later at Miss Bates'. Goodbye, Emma.
366
00:26:22,904 --> 00:26:25,179
Goodbye, Mrs Weston.
367
00:26:29,784 --> 00:26:32,014
This way, Mr Churchill.
368
00:26:34,424 --> 00:26:37,780
- Mr Perkins?
- Good morning, Miss Woodhouse. Sir.
369
00:26:37,944 --> 00:26:39,980
Good morning.
370
00:26:42,784 --> 00:26:46,823
Perkins, I wish to see a pair of gloves,
please, for morning use.
371
00:26:46,984 --> 00:26:50,772
Yes, sir, certainly, sir. In kid or York tan?
372
00:26:50,944 --> 00:26:54,095
Let me see both. I have a small hand, I am afraid.
373
00:26:54,264 --> 00:26:57,336
Yes. Yes, that will be a narrow fitting, I fancy, sir.
374
00:26:57,504 --> 00:27:02,498
If you'll pardon me just one moment,
I shall have to go to the stock room.
375
00:27:06,784 --> 00:27:10,094
You... paid your duty call, I trust?
376
00:27:10,264 --> 00:27:13,654
- My duty call?
- Upon Miss Bates the other day.
377
00:27:13,824 --> 00:27:15,735
Oh, yes! Yes, of course.
378
00:27:15,904 --> 00:27:20,694
I was about to mention it. Miss Woodhouse,
you might as a friend have prepared me!
379
00:27:20,864 --> 00:27:25,335
For Miss Bates? Really, Mr Churchill,
she is a worthy and excellent woman.
380
00:27:25,504 --> 00:27:29,497
- I will not hear a word to her detriment.
- Then you shall not from me, I assure you.
381
00:27:30,504 --> 00:27:34,133
- And Miss Fairfax? You saw her also, I hope?
- I did.
382
00:27:34,304 --> 00:27:40,095
To be honest, Miss Woodhouse, I was somewhat
dismayed to see such a marked loss of looks.
383
00:27:40,984 --> 00:27:45,819
- No, perhaps I should not say that.
- She is accounted extremely handsome.
384
00:27:45,984 --> 00:27:51,820
- She is extremely handsome, in my opinion.
- Yes, yes. She has a fine face. Very fine!
385
00:27:51,984 --> 00:27:55,021
Yet such a pallid complexion, has she not?
386
00:27:55,184 --> 00:27:57,652
And coupled with such reserve of manner!
387
00:27:57,824 --> 00:28:01,499
She is reserved, certainly.
That is my own opinion.
388
00:28:01,664 --> 00:28:06,658
But, to be fair, she has her reasons, I fancy.
You know her circumstances, I expect?
389
00:28:06,824 --> 00:28:10,976
Her lack of fortune and that she's obliged
to seek employment as a governess?
390
00:28:11,144 --> 00:28:14,341
It must be
an extremely unpleasant prospect for her.
391
00:28:14,984 --> 00:28:19,136
I am afraid if I were in her position
I would be far less agreeable than she!
392
00:28:19,304 --> 00:28:23,536
You have made me ashamed
of my want of sympathy, Miss Woodhouse.
393
00:28:23,704 --> 00:28:26,423
I shall endeavour to mend my ways towards her.
394
00:28:26,584 --> 00:28:30,941
No, no, Mr Churchill.
I meant to imply no criticism of you.
395
00:28:31,104 --> 00:28:33,493
But she is reserved, certainly.
396
00:28:33,664 --> 00:28:37,577
It is my own opinion. I have often used
the word in describing her myself.
397
00:28:37,744 --> 00:28:40,383
But where I am critical, you are understanding.
398
00:28:41,264 --> 00:28:44,017
Well, I must confess to a slight wickedness
399
00:28:44,184 --> 00:28:49,178
in my objection to hearing her so idolised
and praised upon all sides.
400
00:28:49,344 --> 00:28:55,055
You know, Mr Churchill, she only has to touch the
piano for the whole company to go into raptures!
401
00:28:55,224 --> 00:28:57,738
I have myself heard report of her playing.
402
00:28:57,904 --> 00:29:00,976
There is the question of her coldness of manner.
403
00:29:01,144 --> 00:29:05,376
Yes, it is a most unattractive quality, to be sure.
404
00:29:05,544 --> 00:29:11,221
It is very difficult to feel an intimacy
towards a cold person, would you not say?
405
00:29:11,384 --> 00:29:15,263
Certainly there has never been intimacy
between Miss Fairfax and I.
406
00:29:15,424 --> 00:29:20,703
I have no reason to think ill of her,
not in the least bit. But such reserve of manner!
407
00:29:20,864 --> 00:29:25,460
And such a fear of giving a distinct opinion
or of making a direct statement...
408
00:29:25,624 --> 00:29:30,778
almost leads one to the suspicion
that she must have something to conceal.
409
00:29:30,944 --> 00:29:34,903
I declare I have no notion in the world
from whom it could have come!
410
00:29:35,064 --> 00:29:37,783
No notion in the world!
411
00:29:37,944 --> 00:29:42,734
We were just sitting down to dinner, were we not,
Jane dear, when there came a knock at the door.
412
00:29:42,904 --> 00:29:47,898
"Ooh," I said, "who can that be? It cannot be
Miss Woodhouse. I know they have company."
413
00:29:48,064 --> 00:29:51,898
There he stood, the van man, on the doorstep.
414
00:29:52,064 --> 00:29:56,376
"Miss Fairfax?" he said.
"I have a special delivery for a Miss Fairfax."
415
00:29:56,544 --> 00:29:59,934
- That is what he said, is it not, Jane?
- Yes, Aunt.
416
00:30:00,104 --> 00:30:02,538
It certainly is a fine instrument.
417
00:30:02,704 --> 00:30:06,060
- Very fine indeed. Is it not, Emma?
- Remarkably fine.
418
00:30:06,224 --> 00:30:09,534
And you have no notion
from whom it may have come?
419
00:30:09,704 --> 00:30:12,776
Well, we have our own opinions on the matter.
420
00:30:12,944 --> 00:30:15,458
- Have we not, Jane dear?
- Have we, Aunt?
421
00:30:15,624 --> 00:30:20,334
Her guardian Colonel Campbell is
a very wealthy man, of most liberal disposition,
422
00:30:20,504 --> 00:30:22,859
so I feel sure we haven't far to seek.
423
00:30:23,024 --> 00:30:26,016
Yes, he must be the benefactor, of course.
424
00:30:26,184 --> 00:30:31,053
- My goodness! What a generous present!
- Yes, is it not?
425
00:30:31,224 --> 00:30:36,776
But then he thinks most highly of Jane's playing,
as of course we all do.
426
00:30:36,944 --> 00:30:39,617
Jane dear, there is no need to look at me so!
427
00:30:40,984 --> 00:30:45,660
Miss Woodhouse, do you agree? Do you
think Colonel Campbell the most likely donor?
428
00:30:45,824 --> 00:30:50,420
Really, Mr Churchill, I cannot form an opinion.
I know nothing whatever of the gentleman.
429
00:30:50,584 --> 00:30:54,497
I see by your expression
that you rather suspect another source.
430
00:30:54,664 --> 00:30:59,658
I must confess that Colonel Campbell's
was not the first name that sprang to my mind.
431
00:30:59,824 --> 00:31:02,861
What do you say to Mrs Dixon?
432
00:31:03,024 --> 00:31:08,257
Mrs Dixon? You mean the lady
whose children she is to teach? Mrs Dixon?
433
00:31:09,504 --> 00:31:12,337
Oh, yes. Yes, of course.
434
00:31:12,504 --> 00:31:17,339
The mystery is more like a young woman's
scheme than that of the elderly Colonel Campbell.
435
00:31:17,504 --> 00:31:21,213
Then you must include Mr Dixon
as a possible benefactor.
436
00:31:21,384 --> 00:31:26,139
Mr Dixon? I see that your comprehension
is one stride ahead of even my own.
437
00:31:26,304 --> 00:31:28,534
No, forget that I spoke.
438
00:31:28,704 --> 00:31:33,016
Yes, of course, you have it.
Dixon is the fellow. An offering of love.
439
00:31:33,184 --> 00:31:35,618
Emma dear?
440
00:31:35,784 --> 00:31:41,063
Mr Churchill, if you repeat one word
of what I have said, I will be very angry.
441
00:31:41,224 --> 00:31:43,738
I'm sorry, Mrs Weston.
Were you speaking to me?
442
00:31:43,904 --> 00:31:47,453
We were discussing what to wear
at Mrs Cole's party.
443
00:31:47,624 --> 00:31:50,138
We thought we ought to know your choice.
444
00:31:50,904 --> 00:31:54,738
I was not aware until this moment
that Mrs Cole was entertaining.
445
00:31:54,904 --> 00:31:59,898
- You and Mr Woodhouse have not been invited?
- Good gracious me! Very strange!
446
00:32:00,064 --> 00:32:05,184
- Such a nice unassuming person! How strange!
- I think not, Miss Bates.
447
00:32:05,344 --> 00:32:09,337
As we have not yet had the pleasure
of Mr and Mrs Cole's company at Hartfield
448
00:32:09,504 --> 00:32:11,540
she is quite right in not including us.
449
00:32:11,704 --> 00:32:15,458
But everybody is going.
Dr and Mrs Perry and Harriet Smith...
450
00:32:15,624 --> 00:32:18,775
Harriet? Good, I am so glad!
How kind of Mrs Cole.
451
00:32:18,944 --> 00:32:23,495
- Mr and Mrs Weston. And Mr Churchill, I hope.
- Indeed, ma'am.
452
00:32:23,664 --> 00:32:28,135
- You are going? You have accepted?
- Why? Should I not have done?
453
00:32:28,304 --> 00:32:32,502
I was hoping that I might have the pleasure
of dancing with you, Miss Woodhouse.
454
00:32:32,664 --> 00:32:38,022
Dear Mr Knightley has offered us his carriage,
Jane and me. To save hiring, you know.
455
00:32:38,184 --> 00:32:41,938
Mr Knightley is going to Mr and Mrs Cole's?
Are you sure?
456
00:32:42,104 --> 00:32:46,336
Yes. He made a point of saying
he would come round this way and call for us.
457
00:32:46,504 --> 00:32:50,338
At half past five. That is right, is it not, Jane dear?
458
00:32:50,504 --> 00:32:52,381
I think that is what he said, yes.
459
00:32:57,944 --> 00:32:59,821
Oh.
460
00:33:00,424 --> 00:33:02,619
Thank you, Williams.
461
00:33:11,784 --> 00:33:14,378
Oh, how very kind!
462
00:33:14,544 --> 00:33:19,493
- What is it, Father?
- Mrs Cole has invited us to dinner on Thursday.
463
00:33:19,664 --> 00:33:23,452
- But I thought...
- She apologises for the short notice.
464
00:33:23,624 --> 00:33:28,982
But they wanted to ensure the arrival of a folding
screen to protect me from any draught of air.
465
00:33:29,144 --> 00:33:30,896
Oh!
466
00:33:31,064 --> 00:33:33,373
How very thoughtful of them.
467
00:33:33,544 --> 00:33:36,661
Yes, it's very kind, very civil of Mrs Cole.
468
00:33:36,824 --> 00:33:42,182
Oh, dear, but I am not fond of dinner-visiting.
Late nights don't suit either of us.
469
00:33:42,344 --> 00:33:47,543
- But we need not stay late, Father.
- No, I... I really think I must refuse.
470
00:33:47,704 --> 00:33:52,653
However, as they are very anxious
to have your company I don't wish to prevent it.
471
00:33:52,824 --> 00:33:57,261
Provided the weather be what it ought,
neither too damp, nor cold, nor windy.
472
00:33:57,424 --> 00:33:59,540
Thank you, Father.
473
00:34:03,864 --> 00:34:08,142
Ah, if poor Miss Taylor hadn't married
she would have stayed at home with me.
474
00:34:08,304 --> 00:34:13,742
But, Papa, you need not dine alone. Mrs Goddard
will come and keep you company, I am sure.
475
00:34:13,904 --> 00:34:17,453
Thank you, my dear.
Now, that would be most agreeable.
476
00:34:17,624 --> 00:34:21,219
Yes, you will make my excuses
as civilly as possible.
477
00:34:21,384 --> 00:34:23,261
Have a word with James.
478
00:34:23,424 --> 00:34:27,497
Tell him to wait with the carriage.
You will be soon tired of all that noise.
479
00:34:27,664 --> 00:34:31,976
Father, I cannot leave early.
It would break up the party.
480
00:34:32,144 --> 00:34:37,502
No great harm if it does. The sooner
every party breaks up the better, in my opinion.
481
00:34:40,424 --> 00:34:43,894
- Is everything to your liking?
- Most certainly, Mrs Cole.
482
00:34:44,064 --> 00:34:46,624
I am so glad.
483
00:34:48,024 --> 00:34:50,538
Jones, would you remove the table?
484
00:34:50,704 --> 00:34:55,061
- Miss Bates?
- Yes? Delicious! You must compliment them.
485
00:34:55,224 --> 00:34:59,900
- I had it sent down especially for you.
- Did you? I have a little weakness.
486
00:35:01,424 --> 00:35:03,984
Miss Woodhouse, please do not sit there!
487
00:35:04,144 --> 00:35:07,978
- You cannot be comfortable.
- I am quite comfortable, thank you, Mrs Cole.
488
00:35:08,144 --> 00:35:12,137
- But are you not too far from the fire?
- Not in the least, thank you.
489
00:35:12,304 --> 00:35:17,094
These fires do not always throw out a great heat.
I'm sure I do not know why.
490
00:35:17,264 --> 00:35:21,177
I asked Mr Cole specially
to see that the logs were quite dry.
491
00:35:21,344 --> 00:35:25,257
I cannot bear a fire that does not blaze. Can you?
492
00:35:25,904 --> 00:35:28,338
Ah, here are the gentlemen at last!
493
00:35:28,504 --> 00:35:31,974
Come along and join us, sir!
Please come along, do!
494
00:35:32,144 --> 00:35:35,739
We are all mightily glad to see you again.
Are we not, ladies?
495
00:35:36,904 --> 00:35:40,783
There, that is he. That is Mr Frank Churchill.
496
00:35:40,944 --> 00:35:47,895
He has almost a look of Mr Elton as he stands
there. Do you not think so, Miss Woodhouse?
497
00:35:48,064 --> 00:35:52,182
- No, I do not, Harriet!
- Oh. Perhaps you are right.
498
00:35:54,344 --> 00:35:58,781
Mr Knightley and my father are still busily
settling the affairs of the parish over their port.
499
00:35:58,944 --> 00:36:01,219
I thought I would seek more congenial company.
500
00:36:01,384 --> 00:36:04,933
- May I join you?
- Of course. This is Miss Harriet Smith.
501
00:36:05,104 --> 00:36:08,176
- How do you do?
- Take my chair, sir!
502
00:36:08,344 --> 00:36:11,256
- Oh, no, no, no!
- Yes, let her.
503
00:36:11,424 --> 00:36:15,497
Harriet prefers to sit nearer the fire,
do you not, Harriet?
504
00:36:15,664 --> 00:36:18,337
Oh, yes, Miss Woodhouse.
505
00:36:22,784 --> 00:36:25,537
Well, what do you think of her? Is she not pretty?
506
00:36:25,704 --> 00:36:30,095
Exceedingly pretty. And has
a rather disarming naivety of manner, I would say.
507
00:36:30,264 --> 00:36:32,858
She is the sweetest girl imaginable.
508
00:36:33,024 --> 00:36:37,814
Oh, dear! I have been here a week tomorrow,
nearly half my time already.
509
00:36:37,984 --> 00:36:41,693
- I've never known the days fly by so fast.
- Really, Mr Churchill?
510
00:36:41,864 --> 00:36:47,700
Yet you wasted one of them by going all the way
back to London merely to have your hair cut.
511
00:36:47,864 --> 00:36:50,822
- Is that right?
- Not wasted, Miss Woodhouse.
512
00:36:50,984 --> 00:36:56,012
I can have no pleasure in meeting my friends
unless I can feel myself fit to be seen.
513
00:36:56,184 --> 00:37:00,097
But, talking of hair,
have you noticed Miss Fairfax?
514
00:37:01,104 --> 00:37:04,858
The style she has adopted this evening
is the oddest thing I have ever seen.
515
00:37:05,024 --> 00:37:06,980
Mr Churchill, you are too unkind.
516
00:37:07,144 --> 00:37:11,103
No, but have you ever in your life
seen anything so outré?
517
00:37:11,264 --> 00:37:16,418
She has a very fine face. No doubt she feels
she has the features to carry off such a style.
518
00:37:16,584 --> 00:37:22,500
Perhaps it is all connected with the mysterious
gift of the piano. What do you say to that, eh?
519
00:37:22,664 --> 00:37:24,575
Whatever do you mean?
520
00:37:24,744 --> 00:37:29,943
Well, possibly a certain gentleman, whose name
I think we can both guess, admires it that way
521
00:37:30,104 --> 00:37:32,095
and it is done as a secret tribute to him.
522
00:37:32,264 --> 00:37:36,542
We both agreed that we would speak no further
on that subject, did we not?
523
00:37:36,704 --> 00:37:38,979
Did we? I don't recall.
524
00:37:39,144 --> 00:37:44,980
Now, that is going too far. As a fellow member
of her sex, I feel I must come to her defence.
525
00:37:45,144 --> 00:37:48,819
I shall go across
and quite casually compliment her on it.
526
00:37:48,984 --> 00:37:53,580
- Watch. See whether she changes colour.
- Mr Churchill, you really are too unkind!
527
00:38:01,664 --> 00:38:05,213
- May I sit here with you a moment?
- Of course, Mrs Weston.
528
00:38:05,384 --> 00:38:07,852
Emma dear, I have been longing to talk to you.
529
00:38:08,024 --> 00:38:13,496
I must confess I have been having thoughts and
making plans in my mind quite worthy of yourself.
530
00:38:13,664 --> 00:38:16,622
Do you know how Miss Bates
and Jane came here tonight?
531
00:38:16,784 --> 00:38:19,344
Yes, Mr Knightley brought them in his carriage.
532
00:38:19,504 --> 00:38:24,214
- Does that not strike you as significant?
- Not in the least. Why, should it?
533
00:38:24,384 --> 00:38:26,944
But Mr Knightley,
who always walks everywhere,
534
00:38:27,104 --> 00:38:30,096
never orders out his carriage
on such an occasion.
535
00:38:30,264 --> 00:38:34,018
And Miss Fairfax, so well known
to be susceptible to the cold.
536
00:38:35,024 --> 00:38:37,458
Can you not see more to it than that?
537
00:38:37,624 --> 00:38:41,253
Emma! You who are generally so sharp
in perceiving such things.
538
00:38:41,424 --> 00:38:44,222
Mr Knightley and Jane Fairfax!
539
00:38:44,384 --> 00:38:46,375
No, no, it cannot be!
540
00:38:46,544 --> 00:38:48,660
But why not?
541
00:38:49,304 --> 00:38:52,421
No, you are mistaken, I am sure.
542
00:38:52,584 --> 00:38:57,977
Mr Knightley would do her any good deed
he could because he is that kind of man, but not...
543
00:38:58,144 --> 00:38:59,702
No!
544
00:38:59,864 --> 00:39:04,574
The greatest good he could do her would be to
marry her and give her a fine respectable home.
545
00:39:04,744 --> 00:39:10,535
It would be excellent for her, but it would be
a disastrous connection for him, poor man.
546
00:39:10,704 --> 00:39:14,743
Can you not imagine having
Miss Bates haunting Donwell every day,
547
00:39:14,904 --> 00:39:19,102
perpetually thanking him for his generosity
in marrying her darling Jane?
548
00:39:19,264 --> 00:39:24,019
- "Oh, so very kind and obliging!"
- Dear Emma! You cruel girl!
549
00:39:24,184 --> 00:39:27,620
- I should not laugh.
- Oh, no, no.
550
00:39:27,784 --> 00:39:30,218
Mr Knightley has no need to marry.
551
00:39:30,384 --> 00:39:35,936
He has all the friends a man could wish for and all
the companionship. Besides, it would not be fair.
552
00:39:36,104 --> 00:39:38,459
Not fair? To whom?
553
00:39:39,144 --> 00:39:42,261
To... To little Henry, his nephew.
554
00:39:42,424 --> 00:39:47,020
He is to inherit Donwell.
It is all perfectly understood.
555
00:39:47,184 --> 00:39:50,381
Oh, no. It is quite unthinkable.
556
00:39:50,544 --> 00:39:53,183
And Jane Fairfax of all women!
557
00:39:53,344 --> 00:39:54,697
Emma, really!
558
00:39:55,984 --> 00:40:00,933
Now, Miss Fairfax, we have all heard
such great things of your playing and singing.
559
00:40:01,104 --> 00:40:03,572
May I ask that you will entertain us?
560
00:40:03,744 --> 00:40:08,374
Please, Mrs Cole, if I might be forgiven
this evening. I have a slight cold.
561
00:40:08,544 --> 00:40:14,380
But Miss Fairfax! That is the chief reason
for our all meeting together like this!
562
00:40:14,544 --> 00:40:16,978
I am extremely sorry, Mrs Cole.
563
00:40:17,144 --> 00:40:20,341
I think she wants but a little persuasion, Mrs Cole.
564
00:40:20,504 --> 00:40:23,735
Come, come!
You cannot disappoint us all like this.
565
00:40:23,904 --> 00:40:26,816
Oh, Miss Fairfax, please!
566
00:40:26,984 --> 00:40:30,374
Yes, there you are, you see. You cannot refuse.
567
00:40:30,544 --> 00:40:32,535
Very well. If I must.
568
00:40:32,704 --> 00:40:35,502
Allow me to turn over for you.
569
00:40:41,464 --> 00:40:44,058
Poor girl. She should not be forced in this manner.
570
00:40:44,224 --> 00:40:51,335
Ah! Here is that charming song that used
to delight the company so much at Weymouth.
571
00:40:51,504 --> 00:40:55,292
- How about that, eh?
- As you wish.
572
00:40:55,464 --> 00:40:58,103
Now, everybody, will you please be quiet?
573
00:40:58,264 --> 00:41:01,142
Miss Fairfax is to sing to us.
574
00:41:01,304 --> 00:41:05,138
- Especially now that she can practise.
- Miss Bates.
575
00:41:06,984 --> 00:41:09,657
- Oh.
- Thank you.
576
00:41:12,784 --> 00:41:17,904
# Oft, in the stilly night
577
00:41:18,064 --> 00:41:24,378
# Ere slumber's chain has bound me
578
00:41:24,544 --> 00:41:28,776
# Fond memory brings the light
579
00:41:28,944 --> 00:41:34,780
# Of other days around me
580
00:41:34,944 --> 00:41:39,495
# The smiles, the tears, of boyhood years
581
00:41:39,664 --> 00:41:45,182
# The words of love then spoken
582
00:41:45,344 --> 00:41:50,134
# The eyes that shone, now dimm'd and gone
583
00:41:50,304 --> 00:41:52,898
# The cheerful... #
584
00:41:53,984 --> 00:41:57,420
I'm so sorry. I have a hoarseness in my throat.
585
00:41:57,584 --> 00:42:00,178
Oh, dear me!
586
00:42:00,344 --> 00:42:04,098
- Come, try it again. It's quite simple.
- No, please, I can't.
587
00:42:04,264 --> 00:42:07,734
- Let me sing it with you.
- Please forgive me.
588
00:42:07,904 --> 00:42:11,658
- But...
- Let the poor girl stop if she wants to.
589
00:42:13,744 --> 00:42:19,216
Well, now! Well, perhaps the young people
would care for a little dancing.
590
00:42:19,384 --> 00:42:22,182
Would you mind moving the furniture?
591
00:42:22,344 --> 00:42:27,134
- I wonder if you'd be so kind as to play for us.
- Yes, of course.
592
00:42:27,304 --> 00:42:31,934
(MRS COLE) Now, will somebody please
take the floor? Who will give us a lead?
593
00:42:32,104 --> 00:42:34,538
- Ah!
- Miss Woodhouse?
594
00:42:34,704 --> 00:42:39,016
- No, thank you.
- Miss Woodhouse, are you not dancing?
595
00:42:39,184 --> 00:42:44,212
Miss Woodhouse, this is a pleasure
that I have long promised myself. May I?
596
00:42:45,464 --> 00:42:48,183
Most certainly you may, Mr Churchill.
597
00:42:50,024 --> 00:42:51,901
Thank you.
598
00:43:01,820 --> 00:43:04,820
