Part 4 of 6 of the 1983 period drama. Sir Thomas, impressed by Fanny's conduct in the theatrical fiasco, decides to throw a ball for her and she is further delighted by the arrival of her naval brother William, who is desperate to seek promotion. Edmund grows fonder of Mary Crawford, but his ambition to go into the clergy could prove problematic when Mary makes a devastating comment at the ball. Meanwhile her brother Henry, annoyed that he cannot charm Fanny like he can her cousins, decides he will make a fool of her by trying to make her fall in love with him.

00:26Through Jesus Christ our Lord.
00:49My dear brother William, I pray the wind is favourable for your return.
00:56My cousin and Mr Rushworth were married today.
00:59It was a very proper wedding.
01:02Julia and I were bridesmaids.
01:04They're to go to Brighton where Mr Rushworth has taken the house
01:07and Julia is asked to accompany them.
01:11My cousin Tom leaves for London very soon
01:13and altogether our family circle will be greatly reduced.
01:17The more eagerly I pray, William, that your return to England
01:20will grant you leave enough by my uncle's invitation
01:23to visit us at Mansfield.
01:26Soon.
01:35You shall be quiet now it seems.
01:50Yes, I think so.
01:52My father will not much regard it.
01:55You are his comfort now.
01:56I was to go away.
02:16Oh, oh, oh, oh.
02:46Come in my dear.
02:58My dear Miss Price.
03:00Oh such a delice.
03:02Absolutely soaked to the skin.
03:04I assure you I have taken shelter.
03:06Yes yes we saw sure.
03:08Dr. Grant was busy composing his sermon but he was quite resolved.
03:12A welcome interruption I assure you my dear.
03:15Mary you must take Miss Price to the sitting room.
03:17Take her to the fire.
03:19Why don't you change your clothes?
03:21I shall be happy to find you anything you need.
03:23Oh no it's quite unnecessary.
03:25I assure you Dr. Grant was so prompt in coming to me.
03:27And with the aid of his umbrella.
03:29You shall take off your cape at the very least.
03:31And come and warm yourself by the fire.
03:37There.
03:39What a pleasant surprise a wet day in the country brings.
03:41But I should not stay.
03:43I was on my way to my Aunt Loris.
03:45She sent for me on an errand.
03:47Aunt Norris can wait.
03:49In a quarter of an hour we shall see how it will be.
03:53Those clouds look quite alarming.
03:55I think they're all passed over.
03:57The weather is all from the south.
03:59South or north I know a black cloud when I see it.
04:05And besides I want to play to you.
04:09A very pretty piece.
04:11Your cousin Edmund's favourite.
04:13You must stay and hear your cousin Edmund's favourite mustn't you?
04:17It may be he will call in a little while to take you home.
04:21This is pretty.
04:33Very pretty.
04:35Three years ago this was nothing but a hedgerow in a field.
04:41Mrs Grant has fashioned it with such simplicity.
04:47How wonderful.
04:51How beautiful the evergreens.
04:53But you'll think I rhapsodize.
04:57To say the truth I am like the famous doge in the court of Louis XIV.
05:03I see no wonder in this shrubbery equal to seeing myself in it.
05:07If anyone had told me a year ago that this would be my home I should not have believed them.
05:13It is the quietest five months I ever passed.
05:17Too quiet for you I believe.
05:20I should have thought so myself theoretically but who knows what it may lead to.
05:27My sister and Mr Bertram are come to see for us.
05:30I am so glad your eldest cousin is gone that he may be Mr Bertram again.
05:34There is something in the sound of Mr Edmund Bertram so pitiful.
05:38So young a brother like that I detest it.
05:41How differently we feel.
05:43To me the sound of Mr Bertram is so cold.
05:48But Edmund it's the name of kings and princes.
05:53I grant you the name is good in itself.
05:57Lord Edmund and Sir Edmund sound delightfully.
06:01But sink it under the chill of a mister and it is nothing.
06:04Well shall we join them and disappoint them of half their lecture upon sitting out of doors before they can begin.
06:10So here you are.
06:12And don't you scold us for our imprudence.
06:14What do you think we have been sitting down for but to be entreated and supplicated never to do so again.
06:20I might have scolded if you had been alone but while you do wrong together I can overlook a great deal.
06:26They cannot have been sitting long for when I went for my shawl I saw them from the upstairs window and they were walking then.
06:31The day is so mild the rain is over.
06:33Upon my word you are two of the most disappointing friends I ever met with.
06:37There is no giving you a moment's uneasiness.
06:40But I have long thought Mr Bertram one of the worst subjects in any manoeuvre that a woman could be plagued with.
06:46But you Mrs Grant, my own sister, I think I had a right to alarm you a little.
06:52Don't flatter yourself my dearest Mary, I have my own alarms.
06:55Cook has just been telling me that the turkey I wish to dress on Sunday for Dr Grant will not keep beyond tomorrow.
07:01And he would enjoy it more on Sunday after the fatigues of the day.
07:05Ah the sweets of housekeeping in a country village.
07:09There is no escaping such vexations anywhere.
07:12Indeed I mean to be too rich to feel anything of the sort.
07:16A large income is the best recipe for happiness I ever heard of.
07:20You intend to be very rich.
07:23To be sure?
07:24Do not you?
07:25Do not we all?
07:26I cannot intend anything so completely beyond my power to command.
07:30Then be honest and poor by all means.
07:33I shall not envy you.
07:35I do not think I shall even respect you.
07:37You might be honest and rich.
07:39You might have gone into the army ten years ago or been in Parliament.
07:43But I am forced to wait till there is a special assembly for the representation of younger sons.
07:49Oh shall we see you tomorrow?
07:58I would be happy if you will come and take my mutton with me.
08:01Indeed sir you are very kind.
08:04And perhaps Miss Price will join us too.
08:07Aye?
08:08Oh I do not think it will be possible.
08:11Indeed it's very kind.
08:13There's my aunt to attend to.
08:15Why Fanny I am sure my mother will spare you on this occasion.
08:18If you hear nothing to the contrary Mrs Grant be assured Fanny will be delighted to come.
08:23And you know what your dinner will be.
08:25Cook insists my dear upon the turkey being dressed tomorrow.
08:29Very well very well.
08:31Miss Price and Mr Edmund Bertram must take their chance.
08:35A turkey or a goose or a leg of mutton whatever you and your cook choose to give us my dear.
08:41I shall see you both.
08:43Goodbye.
08:44Goodbye.
08:46I cannot spare her.
08:51And I am sure she does not want to go.
08:54Fanny, you do not want to go do you?
08:59If you put such a question to her Fanny will immediately say no.
09:04But I am sure my dear mother she would like to go.
09:07And I can see no reason why she should not.
09:09If you cannot do without me mum.
09:11But my mother will have my father here all the evening.
09:14Oh to be sure Edmund so I shall.
09:17Suppose you take my father's opinion mum.
09:19So I will Edmund.
09:20I will ask Sir Thomas whether I can do without her.
09:24Sir Thomas stay.
09:26I have something to tell you.
09:29Yes Lady Bertram.
09:31I have something to tell you that I think will surprise you.
09:35Mrs Grant has asked Fanny to dine with her tomorrow.
09:41Well?
09:42Edmund wants her to go.
09:44But how can I spare her?
09:47She will be late.
09:49What is your difficulty?
09:51Is it not very natural sir that Mrs Grant should want an agreeable companion for her sister?
09:55Nothing could be more so.
09:57What can I do without her Sir Thomas?
09:59My dear I think you may.
10:02But she always makes tea you know.
10:05When my sister is not here.
10:07I think Mrs Norris may be prevailed upon to spend the evening with us.
10:11And I shall certainly be at home.
10:15Very well then Fanny.
10:17You may go.
10:19Thank you aunt.
10:21I'm very much obliged to you.
10:24Upon my word Fanny you are in luck to meet with such indulgence.
10:27You ought to be very much obliged to your aunt for letting you go.
10:30I am indeed ma'am.
10:32I'm trying to set her work in order so that I shall not be missed.
10:35Oh depend upon it your aunt can do without you very well.
10:37I shall be here.
10:38So you may be quite easy as to that.
10:40And I hope you will have a very agreeable day and find it all mighty delightful.
10:47But I do beseech you and entreat you Fanny not to be putting yourself forward as if you were dear Mrs Rushworth or Julia.
10:54The nonsense and folly of people stepping out of their rank.
10:58Remember wherever you are you must be the lowest and the last.
11:02And as to coming away you must stay as long as Edmund chooses.
11:06Leave him to settle that.
11:07Indeed ma'am.
11:08I should not think of anything else.
11:10And if it should rain which I think exceedingly likely you must manage as well as you can
11:16and not be expecting the carriage to be sent for you.
11:18The carriage will not be out on my account.
11:20I shall certainly not go home tonight.
11:22You must make up your mind as to what may happen and take your things accordingly.
11:25I shall indeed not go.
11:26Fanny at what time would you have the carriage come round?
11:29My dear Sir Thomas.
11:31Fanny can walk.
11:33Walk?
11:34My niece walk to a dinner engagement?
11:37Would twenty minutes after four suit you?
11:40Yes sir.
11:49Wilcox is punctual as ever.
11:55Now I must look at you Fanny and tell you how much I like you.
12:01I like you very much indeed.
12:02What have you got on?
12:04The new dress my uncle gave me on my cousin's marriage.
12:08I hope you do not think me too fine.
12:11A woman can never be too fine while she is all in white.
12:16Your gown seems very pretty.
12:17I like these glossy spots.
12:27Has not Miss Crawford gone something the same?
12:30Let's go and see you.
12:31Waitろ.
12:33Hey Dre, here's company.
12:34Here's a carriage.
12:37Who've they got to meet us?
12:38It's Crawford's.
12:51Crawford's Barouche.
12:52Crawford's. Crawford's Barouche, I protest.
12:54They're his own men, pushing it back into its old
12:56quarters. Mr. Crawford?
12:57He has returned from Bath.
12:59This is quite a surprise, Fanny.
13:02I shall be very glad to see him.
13:05So,
13:06have you really got apprehensions
13:08about the children?
13:10Thank you, my dear sister.
13:12What are those gentlemen talking of?
13:14It seems very interesting.
13:16Well, the most interesting subject in the world.
13:19They were talking about
13:20it in the dining pub.
13:22How to make money.
13:25Dr. Grant is instructing Bertram
13:27on the living of Thornton Lacey,
13:29which will soon be his.
13:31Indeed. How soon?
13:33He is to be ordained
13:34next month.
13:36Next month?
13:38Oh, that is soon.
13:41That is soon, then.
13:44Bertram,
13:45I shall make a point
13:47of coming to your first sermon.
13:49I shall come on purpose
13:52to encourage a young beginner.
13:55Miss Price?
13:56Will you join me in encouraging
13:58your cousin?
14:00We must bring tablets
14:01and a pencil.
14:03When is it to be?
14:04I shall keep clear of you, Crawford,
14:06as long as I can.
14:07I promise you only that.
14:08So,
14:15all the players
14:17are now dispersed.
14:20A Rushworth
14:20and his fair bride
14:21are at Brighton,
14:22I understand.
14:22Yes. They have been there about a fortnight, have they not, Miss Price?
14:27Yes.
14:28And Julia is with them.
14:30We hear nothing of Mr. Yates.
14:35Poor Rushworth.
14:37And his two-and-forty speeches.
14:40I am much mistaken if his lovely Mariah will ever want him to make two-and-forty speeches to her.
14:45You were Mr. Rushworth's best friend.
14:54Your kindness and patience can never be forgotten.
14:58Trying to give him a brain which his nature has denied.
15:04It is as a dream.
15:07A pleasant dream.
15:10I shall always look back on our theatricals with exquisite pleasure.
15:15We were unlucky, Miss Price.
15:18Another week.
15:21Only one week would have been enough.
15:24If Mansfield Park had had the government of the winds, there would have been a difference.
15:29Not to endanger Sir Thomas's life.
15:31But a steady, contrary wind.
15:34Or a dead calm.
15:37I think, Miss Price, we would have indulged ourselves with a week's calm in the Atlantic.
15:42I think, Sir, I would not have delayed his return for a single day.
15:48My uncle disapproved it all so entirely that, in my opinion, everything had gone quite far enough.
15:55I think, Miss Price, I would not have delayed his return for a single day.
16:00Thank you, Miss Price.
16:01Thank you, Miss Price.
16:01Thank you, Miss Price.
16:02Thank you, Miss Price.
16:03Thank you, Miss Price.
16:03Thank you, Miss Price.
16:04There.
16:07I have informed our uncle, the Admiral, of my new plan.
16:10I have decided to remain at Mansfield another fortnight.
16:14Why do you think that is?
16:17To walk and ride with me, to be sure.
16:19That would be exercised only to my body, not the brain.
16:22And I do not like idleness.
16:26No.
16:28My plan is to make Fanny Price in love with me.
16:32Fanny Price?
16:34Nonsense.
16:35No.
16:37No.
16:39You ought to be satisfied with her two cousins.
16:42But I cannot be satisfied without Fanny Price.
16:46Without making a hole in Fanny Price's heart.
16:48You don't seem properly aware that she is quite a different creature.
16:55In that soft skin of hers, there is a decided beauty.
17:00And from what I observe of her eyes and mouth,
17:04I don't despair of there being capable of expression enough.
17:07Or when she has anything to express.
17:08And then, her air.
17:14Her manner.
17:15Her tout ensemble.
17:18Is so indescribably improved.
17:21Oh, she must have grown two inches at least since I first saw her.
17:24Foo, foo.
17:25That is only because you have no tall women to compare her with.
17:28I have always thought her pretty enough.
17:30But if you do set about a flirtation with her,
17:36you will never persuade me it is for her beauty.
17:39Nor from anything but your own idleness and folly.
17:43I do not quite know what to make of Miss Fanny.
17:47I could not tell last night what she would be at.
17:51What is her character?
17:54Is she solemn?
17:56Is she prudish?
17:57Why did she draw back and look so grave at me?
18:02I never was in company with a girl so long in my life,
18:05trying to entertain her and succeed so ill.
18:09I must try and get the better of it.
18:12Her looks say, I will not like you.
18:15And I say, she shall.
18:20Foolish fellow.
18:21So this is her attraction after all that she does not care for you.
18:27This gives her such a soft skin and makes her so much taller.
18:35But I do desire, Henry, that you will not be making her really unhappy.
18:42She's as good a little creature as ever lived.
18:44And has a great deal of feeling.
18:50But a little love may do her no harm.
18:53It can be but a fortnight.
18:55If a fortnight can kill her, she has a constitution nothing could save.
19:00I only want her to look kindly on me and give me smiles as well as blushes.
19:04And I see my way.
19:07And bless my uncle, the Admiral, for having weaned me upon this excellent journal,
19:12which gives the earliest naval intelligence.
19:14For here it is announced that His Majesty Sloop the Antwerp
19:18is lately returned from the Mediterranean and is Dr. Portsmouth.
19:22So, Brother William must soon be here.
19:26Mr. Crawford, ma'am.
19:33Why, Mr. Crawford?
19:36Forgive me, sir, but my brother William's just arrived and I was just thanking him.
19:43William, Mr. Crawford, the brother of Mrs. Grant at the Parsonage.
19:47Mr. Price, you have quite surprised us.
19:49How do you do, sir?
19:50I came to bring your sister news, but you precede me.
19:53William has just now given me this.
19:59He bought it with his prize money from a French privateer.
20:05Isn't it fine?
20:08But you know, William, you're never going to prosper
20:09if you lay out all your money on presents for your sisters.
20:12Oh, I know, Miss Price.
20:13To win life's greatest prizes, a man must pledge his all.
20:18That is the game.
20:20Miss Price, let me engage your attention.
20:28Six counters for your card.
20:29Banny, I will give you a dozen.
20:31No, no, you shall not part with the Queen.
20:33Oh, excuse me, your ladyship must not see your card.
20:36It may be higher.
20:38Let it lie, so.
20:39Companist?
20:40No, no, sir, hands off.
20:41Your sister does not part with the Queen.
20:43She is quite determined.
20:45Well, I have staked my all like a lady of spirit.
20:47If Miss Price refuses every offer, we must play on.
20:53Five.
20:54Five clubs.
20:55Eight.
20:57Six.
20:59Now, your ladyship.
21:00The game is yours, you see.
21:13And she had much rather April Williams.
21:14Poor Fanny, not to be allowed to cheat herself as she wishes.
21:21Was your ladyship pleased with the game?
21:23Oh, speculation.
21:25It seemed very entertaining.
21:27What a very odd game.
21:28I was never to see my cards in Mr. Crawford.
21:32That's all the way.
21:33Henry, take Lady Burton to the far side.
21:35I shall be pleased to join you as soon as this rubber is done.
21:38Your ladyship.
21:40You should have had a double, Mrs. Norris, if you had not played the King.
21:44But I was sure you held the ace.
21:46It was your suit, Dr. Grant.
21:53This is the assembly night at Portsmouth.
21:56If I were there, I should be at it, perhaps.
22:00Do you wish yourself at Portsmouth, William?
22:02No, Fanny.
22:03Hey, I shall have enough of Portsmouth.
22:06And of dancing, too, when I cannot have you.
22:09And the Portsmouth girls turn up their noses at anyone who has not a commission.
22:14One might as well be nothing as a midshipman.
22:17You remember the Gregories?
22:19They are grown up into amazing fine girls.
22:22But they will hardly speak to me, because Lucy is courted by a lieutenant.
22:28Oh, shame.
22:30Shame.
22:31But never mind it, William.
22:33It's not worth minding.
22:35It's no more than the greatest admirals of all experienced in their time.
22:39You must think of that.
22:41Only think, William, how little you will care for any such nonsense when you are a lieutenant.
22:46I begin to think I never shall be.
22:48Oh, you must not talk so.
22:50I'm sure my uncle will do everything in his power to get you made,
22:54when he understands of what consequence it is.
22:57Aye, it may be.
22:58Are you fond of dancing, Fanny?
23:05Yes.
23:07I should like to go to a ball with you and see you dance.
23:10We used to jump about together many a time, didn't we, when the hand organ was in the street.
23:15Is not Fanny a good dancer, sir?
23:21I am very sorry to say that I do not know.
23:25I've never seen Fanny dance since she was a little girl.
23:28But I have had the pleasure of seeing your sister dance, Mr. Price.
23:31And I would answer your question to your entire satisfaction.
23:35If Miss Price would allow.
23:36Well, it would give me great pleasure to see you both dance.
23:41Ah, my dear Sir Thomas, I know what you are thinking.
23:44If dear Julia were at home, or dearest Mrs. Rushworth...
23:47My daughters have their pleasures at Brighton.
23:50The dance I think of giving at Mansfield will be for their cousins.
23:55Why should not William see Fanny dance?
23:59Miss Crawford.
24:05My dear Miss Price.
24:07I was just on my way to see you.
24:08Do you go for a walk?
24:10Indeed, I was on my way to call on you.
24:13Then we may walk together.
24:14Yes.
24:17You know that my uncle has arranged a ball for tomorrow night.
24:20I wish only to consult you on what I should wear.
24:24I have a better plan.
24:26Let us go up to my room and have a comfortable pose together.
24:33There.
24:34Now we are agreed already as to your dress in all its grander parts.
24:38But what shall you have for a necklace?
24:41Shall not you wear your brother's cross?
24:43Oh, yes.
24:44But then, you see,
24:46William could not afford a chain as well.
24:50I was hoping to show you these.
24:53You see what a collection I have.
24:54More by half than I ever use.
24:56I do not offer them as new.
24:59You must forgive the liberty.
25:00Choose one and oblige me.
25:02Oh, no.
25:03Miss Crawford.
25:04Nay, I insist.
25:06Now, what do you think to this?
25:08Or this?
25:09Ah.
25:10But this, I believe, is the prettiest.
25:14Will you accept it from me?
25:15If it is your wish.
25:16You would prefer something simpler, something plainer, perhaps?
25:21Oh, no.
25:21This will do very well.
25:23I mean...
25:24Now.
25:28When I wear it, I shall always think of you.
25:43And of your kindness to me.
25:44And you must think of someone else, too.
25:49You must think of Henry.
25:50For it was his choice in the first place.
25:53He gave it to me.
25:55And with it, I make over to you all the duty of remembering the original giver.
25:59Oh, no.
26:01No.
26:01No.
26:02Miss Crawford, I cannot.
26:04I cannot accept this.
26:06Pray.
26:07My dear child, what are you afraid of?
26:09Do you suspect a plot between us?
26:12No, indeed.
26:13Well, then, to convince me you suspect no trick, take it and say no more.
26:22It is too small a trifle to be worth so many words, isn't it?
26:33Funny.
26:34I beg your pardon for being here.
26:36I came to look for you and was making use of your inkstand to explain my errand.
26:43But I can now speak my business, which is only to beg your acceptance of this trifle,
26:50the chain for William's cross.
26:54My cousin.
26:55You ought to have had it a week ago, but Tom was not in London as soon as I expected.
27:03I hope its simplicity is to your taste.
27:07At any rate, I know you will be kind to my intentions
27:10and think of it as a token of my love as one of your oldest friends.
27:16Oh, cousin, stop!
27:19A moment, I pray you.
27:22I cannot begin to thank you.
27:24Your goodness in thinking of me is...
27:26If this is all you have to say...
27:27No, no, no, it's not.
27:29I want to consult.
27:30Oh, this is beautiful indeed.
27:36It's precisely what I wished for.
27:39This will exactly suit my cross.
27:42They must and shall be worn together.
27:46Now, Miss Crawford has just now presented me with this to wear at the ball.
27:54Miss Crawford.
28:01For William's cross?
28:08What a curious chance.
28:12And yet it is not.
28:15Our minds may think alike.
28:17I shall return it.
28:19What?
28:20It was not first bought for me.
28:22It was her brother's present to her.
28:25Surely I may suppose she would not wish to part with it.
28:27But surely she must not suppose it is not wanted.
28:30It's having been originally her brother's gift should make no difference.
28:33And it is handsomer than mine and fitter for the ballroom.
28:36No, it's not handsomer.
28:38Your chain will agree with William's cross beyond all comparison better than this necklace.
28:44Then your objection would seem to be from vanity.
28:47No, cousin, you know it's not.
28:49Consider what I tell you.
28:50So one night, Fanny.
28:54Wear this tomorrow evening and keep the chain for commoner occasions.
28:59That is my advice.
29:01I would not have the shadow of a coolness arise between you and this account.
29:08Between the two dearest objects I have on earth.
29:14Wear it for my sake, if you choose.
29:19Tomorrow.
29:19Tomorrow.
29:19Tomorrow.
29:20what are you doing?
29:47child what are you about?
29:49have you no better task this evening than pirouetting in the dark?
29:52forgive me
29:53here am I half distracted over the arrangements for the sun
29:55I came to draw the curtains but if I may do anything
29:57no only go and dress you would be nothing but a nuisance
29:59and if you have any gratitude at all for the kindness your uncle has shown you in all that is being done
30:03oh yes indeed yes
30:04you should be ready at the earliest moment
30:05forgive me
30:14honey
30:15you look fagged
30:22have you been walking?
30:24no
30:25I have not been out at all
30:27perhaps you have been better outdoors
30:29away from my aunt Norris
30:31you may guess where I have been
30:48I have engaged Miss Crawford for the first two dances
30:50and she has just told me
30:53it will be the last time she ever dances with me
30:57she is not serious either
31:00she says
31:01she has never danced with a clergyman and she never will
31:06for my own part I wish there had been no bore
31:23I mean not this week not this very night tomorrow I leave home
31:27tomorrow?
31:28mind to go to my friend at Peterborough Mr. Owen
31:31you are to be ordained together
31:34I'm very sorry that anything should distress you
31:37today ought to be a day of pleasure
31:39my uncle meant it so
31:41yes
31:44it will be a day of pleasure
31:46it will all end right
31:58I have been pained by her manner that is all
32:06and sometimes Fanny
32:10I confess it appears to me more than manner
32:13don't tell me anything that you may be sorry for hereafter
32:17the time may come
32:21dearest Fanny
32:22that time will never come
32:29indeed I begin to think the chances grow less and less
32:38you are the only person on this earth to whom I should say what I have said
32:44you can bear witness Fanny
32:49I was never blinded
32:52we have often talked over her little faults
33:01and I must be a blockhead indeed if I should ever think of your kindness and sympathy
33:07without the deepest gratitude
33:09yes yes indeed I know
33:11and you can tell me anything
33:14there is nothing yet to tell
33:19I shall not speak tonight
33:24and tomorrow I shall be gone
33:27I shall not speak tonight
33:29and tomorrow I shall be gone

39:12extraordinary advantages you and I have given her even that dress was your gift for dear mrs.
39:17Rushworth's marriage what would she have been if we have not taken her by the hand fanny will
39:23always be herself do what we may
39:47so
39:53Oh, Fanny, she's quite banged out.
40:17And the sport has but begun.
40:19I hope we should keep it up these two hours yet.
40:21How can she be tired so soon?
40:23So soon, my good friend.
40:25It is three o'clock.
40:27Your sister's not used to these sort of hours.
40:28Oh, well then, Fanny, you shall not get up to see me go.
40:31Sleep as long as you can, and never mind me.
40:34Did you think of being up before he sets off?
40:37Yes, sir.
40:38Yes, sir, I must get up and breakfast with him.
40:41Mr. Crawford is to call for him in the morning.
40:44At half past nine.
40:45And I shall be punctual,
40:47for there will be no kind sister to get up for me.
40:49I shall have only a desolate house to hurry from.
40:53Then you must have your breakfast here, William.
40:56Sir.
40:56That's the least we can do to repay your kindness
40:58in taking my nephew up to town.
41:00You are sure, sir?
41:01Indeed, I insist.
41:03I'm very much obliged.
41:04It will be a most agreeable arrangement.
41:06And if Fanny is equally insistent that she must join you,
41:09I hope she will go to bed.
41:12Oh, no.
41:12Indeed, I must advise you.
41:16I do advise you, Ernest.
41:18Oh, very well, sir.
41:22William.
41:23I shall see you early.
41:26And Mr. Crawford.
41:28And my dear uncle,
41:30I must thank you for all.
41:32Indeed, for the happiest enjoyment I've known.
41:35I'm glad you took such pleasure.
41:38Your aunts, you know, have gone to bed.
41:41Good night, dear Fanny.
41:43Good night, sir.
41:45Good night.
41:46William, remember me took my father and mother?
42:15To Sam and Susan and all the family.
42:19Yes.
42:20Goodbye, Fanny.
42:22Goodbye.
42:23I'll remember our talents as well.
42:26Bye.
42:45I shall be gone by a week.
43:09I shall be gone by a week.
43:11I know there is a place in your heart for one that I shall never fill.
43:33Oh, cousin.
43:34But one for you in mind
43:36that no one else shall ever have.
43:43Oh, thanks.
43:51I cannot think what is the matter with me.
43:54I feel quite stupid.
43:56I must be sitting up so late last night.
43:59For Ellie, you must do something to keep me awake.
44:03I feel so stupid.
44:04I cannot work.
44:08Fetch the cards.
44:09What will you say, Sir Thomas?
44:22Ma'am?
44:23What will you answer to Julia's letter?
44:27She must go, I believe.
44:29I will answer that she may go with Maria and Mr Rushworth to London.
44:33At least until Mr Rushworth has settled on his house in town,
44:36I hope my daughters will support each other.
44:38There is a vast deal to be done.
44:40Yes, to be sure.
44:42Though I had supposed Julia would be home again before very long.
44:47We miss our two young men.
44:51I suppose William's visits may now be tolerably frequent.
44:55As to Edmund, we must learn to do without him.
44:58This will be the last winter of his belonging to us, as he has done.
45:06Next year, he takes up residence at Thornton Lacey.
45:09It is not far, Sir Thomas, though it is far enough to be sure.
45:14Well, I wish they were not going away.
45:18They are all going away, I think.
45:21I wish they would stay at home.
45:27Fanny, can we deal the cards?
45:30Yes, ma'am.
45:36I am very glad, Sir Thomas, we took Fanny as we did.
45:41For now the others are away.
45:44We feel the good of it.
45:46Very true.
45:48As I hope we show her by praising her to her face.
45:51This is a comfort to think we shall always have her with us.
45:57Besides, I cannot do without her.
46:03What have you heard from him?
46:08Shall we walk to the passage?
46:10You say your cousin Edmund is to delay his return by several days.
46:22Does his longest day surprise you?
46:24I do not know.
46:26Yes, I'd not particularly expected it.
46:29Perhaps he will always stay away longer than he talks of.
46:32It is the general way all young men do.
46:34He did not.
46:36The only time he stayed with Mr. Owen before.
46:40If you write, you must give my compliments to him.
46:45I suppose it must be compliments.
46:48Isn't there something wanted in our language, Miss Price,
46:51between compliments and love?
46:54To suit the sort of friendly acquaintance we have had together.
46:58But compliments must be sufficient here.
47:03What does he stay for?
47:07I only heard part of the letter to my uncle.
47:10It was but a few lines.
47:12His friend had pressed him to stay longer
47:14and he had agreed to do so.
47:16A few days longer.
47:18Or some days longer.
47:21I'm not sure which.
47:21Oh, if he wrote to his father.
47:26I thought it might have been to you.
47:28No, I have had no letter.
47:31If you had, you would have heard of balls and parties.
47:34How many Miss Owens are there?
47:38Three, grown up.
47:40And are there Miss Owens musical?
47:44I do not know.
47:45I never heard.
47:45And it is very foolish to ask questions about any young ladies.
47:50About three sisters, just grown up.
47:52Or one names without being told exactly what they are.
47:56All very accomplished and pleasing.
47:58And one very pretty.
48:00There is a beauty in every family.
48:02It is a regular thing.
48:03Two play on the pianoforte and one the harp.
48:07And they all sing.
48:08Or would sing if they were taught.
48:11Or sing all the better for not being taught.
48:15Or something like that.
48:17But, I know nothing of the Miss Owens.
48:21You know nothing and care less, as people say.
48:28But suppose you had one of the Miss Owens settled at Thornton Lacey.
48:32How should you like that?
48:35Stranger things have happened.
48:36I dare say they are trying for it.
48:38And I do not at all wonder or blame them.
48:41It is everybody's duty to do as well for themselves as they can.
48:45Their father is a clergyman.
48:46Their brother is a clergyman.
48:48They are all clergymen together.
48:50He is their lawful property.
48:52He fairly belongs to them.
48:55You don't speak, Fanny.
48:57Miss Price, you don't speak.
49:01Honestly, now, don't you rather expect it than otherwise?
49:05No.
49:06I don't expect it at all.
49:16Oh, Henry.
49:37Henry, are you just returned?
49:40I didn't hear the carriage.
49:43Where is my sister?
49:44Where is Dr Grant?
49:46My sister is abroad, seeking to find where her bantams lay.
49:50And Dr Grant is laying down his cellar.
49:53Had you a pleasant journey?
49:55Is all your business done in town?
49:58Yes.
50:00And I have come to a decision.
50:03You know with what idle designs I began.
50:06But this is an end to them.
50:08I'm quite determined.
50:09My mind is made up.
50:12To what?
50:13Will it astonish you?
50:16No.
50:18I'm sure you are aware.
50:21You must be aware.
50:25I am quite determined to marry Fanny Price.
50:29I have come to ask for her hand in marriage.
