00:00I'm here to assist Miss Isabella Fowle.
00:03Cassandra, we weren't expecting you.
00:05Isabella must live with her sisters, promise me.
00:08There is no greater comfort in this world than a sister.
00:12You and I will always be sisters, even when I'm Mrs. Fowle.
00:17There are things I must say to you before I leave, in case I do not return.
00:20If you cannot marry me, you must feel free to marry another.
00:23I promise you, Tom, that I will never marry any other man but you.
00:28There are sure to be letters here that will cast up all manner of treasure.
00:32Everything one needs to know about Jane Austen is to be found within the pages of her novels.
00:38We have bad tidings to impart, Cassie.
00:58Mom?
01:04No, I don't Noble.
01:11No, on either side Chris, I meant to unlock мужчин's grave.
01:15We have good sex.
01:17All right.
01:18There's plenty ofnosis in theround, Jack who's influenced her life.
01:21Where on earth would you be, Diana?
01:26Sorry, ma'am. I was in the kitchen with Miss Isabel.
01:29And what of Miss Austen?
01:31In her room, ma'am.
01:32What's she doing with her?
01:34Cassandra!
01:35There's work to be done.
01:40Mary, my dear.
01:42So there you are.
01:44So here I am.
01:46We weren't expecting you so soon.
01:49On account of tea with Mrs. Bunbury.
01:50Yes, there's been a falling out to do with you, Cassandra.
01:54Me?
01:55Mrs. Bunbury suggested that you arriving here without informing me first was a slur on my reputation.
02:00I mounted a most robust offence, but she was adamant.
02:03It's not the dumb thing, Cassandra.
02:06We're supposed to be sisters.
02:08I sincerely hope that relations with Mrs. Bunbury return to cordiality very soon.
02:16Hmm.
02:17Diana says you've made a start on clearing my dear sister's room.
02:19You know I wish to help?
02:21Did you find any letters from Jane?
02:23Not a single one.
02:26How odd.
02:28Considering how often Jane wrote, no matter.
02:31I find them myself.
02:33Perhaps you will be lucky where I was not.
02:35Mum, Mrs. Austin, do you wish me to make up Mrs. Fowl's room for you?
02:42Yes, yes.
02:42Do it at once, so I may settle myself and get on with clearing.
02:46Task I do not relish, given how close Eliza and I were.
02:53Now, I said.
02:54Let me pick it up, ma'am.
03:02You'll hurt yourself.
03:03There is little point in making more work than is absolutely necessary, Isabella.
03:07It was an accident.
03:09Ah, well, I'll leave you to it.
03:10I have work to do upstairs.
03:13Dinah, Dinah.
03:14As soon as you're ready.
03:14There's too much to do.
03:19I must ask Mr. Dundas for more time.
03:21I'm not ready.
03:23I won't be ready.
03:24Isabella.
03:26Isabella, I have been in your position and I know how daunting this task must appear.
03:32But I also know how uncertainty for your future can make it feel all the more onerous.
03:38That is why this question must be settled without delay.
03:44To that purpose, I wonder if we might make a visit today to see your sisters.
03:50We're still too busy here, Cassandra.
03:51Surely it can wait.
03:53Isabella, I am becoming increasingly concerned about what is to become of you.
03:58We cannot delay this decision any longer.
04:01We should do it.
04:03Of course.
04:04But not today.
04:08Tomorrow, perhaps.
04:11Besides, I have errands to run this morning.
04:15Very well.
04:17Well, in that case, perhaps I could start to clear the dining room.
04:22I could clear your mother's writing desk.
04:24Save your Aunt Mary the bother.
04:29I have loved this china since I was a child.
04:34Now it is all to go to my brother.
04:38All will be well, Isabella.
04:43I am sure of it.
04:48I love you.
04:49I will tell.
04:58What does that say?
05:25It says Eliza.
05:28Oh, Eliza.
05:43My dearest Eliza.
06:09Your happy news has lightened our spirits here in Steventon.
06:14Mother and father cannot settle on whether you are to expect a boy or a girl.
06:19I shall let you know as soon as they decide.
06:22I wish I had more cheerful news of Cassie.
06:27In all this time, her grief has not abated.
06:31It is not in my sister's nature to reveal the depth of her suffering, the fear of burdening
06:39us with her sorrow.
06:41Together, boys.
06:42Walk on.
06:42But I can see how much her heart still aches for Tom.
06:46Our brother Edward has invited her to stay at Godmisham Park, his estate in Kent.
07:04I will miss her dreadfully, though I am hopeful this change in surroundings might lift her
07:11from her melancholy.
07:12It may amuse you to learn that Edward's invitation did not extend to me.
07:22I fear I may be a little too eccentric for Kent society.
07:26It is regretful, as I could certainly cultivate a taste for their acres of rolling countryside,
07:33extensive library, and well-stocked wine cellar.
07:42Perhaps Edward's wife, Elizabeth, fears that I would become rather too comfortable and outstay
07:47my welcome.
07:48While she is always unfailingly polite to us lowly Austens, I admit to some surprise she
07:56is willing to play host to one of us at all.
08:07Welcome to Godmisham, my dear sister.
08:10Edward.
08:11How well you look.
08:14Considering, um, I do hope your journey was a pleasant one.
08:17If, if, if anything can be pleasant at such a, a time.
08:24Thank you, my dear brother.
08:26Come.
08:31Now, I know you'll want to gather yourselves, but the children are quite wild with excitement.
08:36If we don't go straight to see them, I fear they will burst.
08:40They are the perfect tonic to stave off sad.
08:43Cannot wait to see them.
08:44Stand still, no fidgeting.
08:45Say hello, children.
08:46Look who's here.
08:47Look who's here.
08:48Who is it?
08:48Oh, Cassie.
08:50Look how you've all grown.
08:53Look.
08:54Is it Helen?
08:55Hello.
08:56There you are.
08:57Hello.
08:58Peek-a-boo.
08:59Peek-a-boo.
08:59Peek-a-boo.
09:01Boo.
09:02Yay.
09:02I told you, Cass.
09:04Fit to burst.
09:08Hello.
09:09Someone of a more cynical disposition might wonder if Elizabeth has something to gain by having
09:14Aunt Cassie at Godmarshim.
09:17This is not a thought that should ever cross my mind, Eliza.
09:21And certainly not one I would write down.
09:23Mum.
09:24Mum?
09:24What a photo, are we?
09:41Well, it would appear so.
09:45I may pay Mary Jane, Isabella's sister, a visit on my travels.
09:50Are you expected?
09:51Mrs Mirajin Dexter is not one for surprise visitors.
09:54I am sure she will be more than happy to see me when she knows the purpose of my visit.
09:59Time is of the essence.
10:02We must make sure Isabella is taken care of.
10:11Must we know?
10:12Who is it?
10:31Mrs Dexter?
10:33Mary Jane, it's me, Cassandra Austin.
10:36I've come to call on you.
10:42It's him, then.
10:49You can never be too careful.
10:53Come into the parlour.
10:54What interesting objects.
11:06What you see here are the joys of the empire.
11:11Halcyon days.
11:15Halcyon.
11:16Now, sit down.
11:26Isabella's been looking after you, has she?
11:28Oh, yes.
11:31Impeccably.
11:31She's got the heart of an ox, Isabella.
11:37Braver than you think.
11:41Although she wouldn't survive for one single day on her own, so it's a good thing she's come to live with me.
11:46So it's settled, then?
11:49Of course it's settled.
11:50Isn't that why you're here?
11:51To make sure?
11:51Yes, it's just that Isabella doesn't seem to know this.
11:57What you have to know about my sister is this.
12:00She thinks she knows her own mind.
12:03But she doesn't.
12:09Tiffin.
12:11Ah.
12:21Miss Fowl.
12:25Mr. Lydderdale.
12:27I must offer you my apologies.
12:29I have been tardy in calling to inquire how you are faring since...
12:33I am perfectly well.
12:36In truth, I have been busy preparing the vicarage for the new vicar.
12:40I am sure that must be a most difficult task.
12:45Have you secured...
12:47new lodgings?
12:49Not yet.
12:51But it is all in hand.
12:54I am delighted to hear that.
12:57There is nothing more unsettling than...
13:00insecurity.
13:01Indeed.
13:05I wish you well.
13:07Truly.
13:09That is most kind.
13:11Now, if you'll forgive me, I have an errand to run.
13:21I have an errand to run.
13:23Dearest Eliza, I am happy to report that Cassie indulges my frequent demands for news from Godmersham and writes often.
13:31Though I hear suspiciously little about the delights and amusements of the Kent countryside,
13:36and a great deal more about Spillikin's with the tiny inhabitants of the nursery.
13:41Oh.
13:49Oh, Elizabeth, there you are.
13:51Well, I wondered if I might take a short turn around the garden while the baby's asleep.
13:55Oh, my dear, no.
13:58It's too warm outside.
13:59You're in the best place up here.
14:02Besides, I cannot play that game for my life.
14:04Oh, look how they adore you.
14:10I cannot tell you how much it suits me to have you here.
14:13Things have turned out so well, have they not?
14:17I mean...
14:19I did not mean...
14:21I know what you mean, my dear.
14:23I'm most grateful to be here.
14:25Good.
14:27Now, I think I might have a little rest before my family arrive for dinner.
14:34Oh, look, I did it.
14:37It's your turn, I'm a dresser.
14:47Edward?
14:48Where are you going?
14:50We have guests for dinner.
14:51Just at the stables to cast my eyes over the new filly.
14:53I won't be long.
14:54I'm afraid the filly will have to wait.
14:56My mother will be here before we know it,
14:58and she would not be happy if a horse has taken precedence.
15:02No.
15:02No, that would not do.
15:03Have you told Cassie what time she's expected downstairs?
15:07Oh, my dearest.
15:08I don't think it would be correct for Cassie to join us.
15:12It's a family dinner, and Cassie is family after all.
15:14She is still in mourning, Edward.
15:17It would not be appropriate for her to attend a happy party.
15:21Cook will send something up on a train.
15:28Eliza, I must prevail upon you for assistance in a matter of great urgency.
15:33Cassie is trapped in the nursery at Godmisham.
15:37My good and dutiful sister does not complain,
15:40but it is clear to me that the situation is most serious.
15:44Please do not think the indelicate if I suggest the timing is to our advantage.
15:52I beg you, Eliza.
15:54Write to Cassie and request her presence at your confinement.
15:58Elizabeth will not deny a mother in need,
16:01and as for Edward, he will do as he has bidden.
16:04We cannot allow our beloved Cassie to convince herself
16:09that her life's sole value lies in the role of dependable spinster aunt.
16:15Please write as soon as you are able.
16:18I have an inkling that our intervention will be a relief to her.
16:22She needs laudanum.
16:49Eliza?
17:05She's sleeping, Fuller.
17:07She's exhausted.
17:09Do you have a girl?
17:12Her sweetest, most beloved little girl.
17:16Another girl?
17:17My dearest Eliza,
17:32we are delighted to hear you are safely delivered
17:35and baby Isabella is thriving.
17:37Isabella is a splendid name.
17:49She can only grow up to be a heroine or a Spanish queen,
17:52though I would not wish that fate upon her.
17:55No, her adventures will be magnificent
17:58and not solely confined to the great county of Berkshire.
18:03Look, Isabella.
18:05Your dear, sweet Uncle Tom's tree.
18:12His and mine's.
18:14�도 Simmer Mary
18:2628.
18:27Mm-hmm.
18:295 times 7 is
18:3135.
18:34Very good, Arthur.
18:36Now, six times seven is?
18:39Six times seven is...
18:41Forty-two.
18:44Seven times seven is...
18:47Rise and shine.
18:50Forty-nine.
18:51Well done.
18:53Shall we attempt the eight times table?
18:56I can try, miss.
18:57Very good.
19:02One times eight is...
19:04Eight.
19:05Indeed.
19:07Two times eight is...
19:09Six times...
19:10I have just seen Miss Isabella with a pupil.
19:15She is quite the teacher.
19:17I had no idea.
19:19There's a lot to Miss Isabella that people don't know.
19:22I don't want to.
19:24She must have made her father proud,
19:26looking after him as she did.
19:29Well, if he was, Mum, he never told her.
19:31But he wasn't quiet about much else.
19:34He used to fill the house with his presents
19:35did Reverend Phil.
19:36God rest him.
19:38I had not seen him for some time,
19:40but I do recall he was the most exuberant of men.
19:43Well, if that's what you like to call it.
19:46There's many a day you'd have heard him shouting up in the village,
19:49and he used to bellow at Miss Isabella.
19:54Bellow?
19:54What do you mean, Dinah?
19:57Not a thing, ma'am.
19:59It's not for me to say anything.
20:00I must go and fetch the rest of the dinner service.
20:05Dinah,
20:06is Mrs. Austin still resting?
20:08She is that, ma'am.
20:09I wish to visit Miss Isabella's other sister.
20:14Where may I find Miss Beth's school?
20:17Behind the plaster of his arms.
20:18Ah!
20:30Ah!
20:31Ah!
20:38Ah!
20:39Excuse me, could you tell me where I might find Miss Fowle?
20:54Miss Winner-Bourne?
21:20Cassandra, there's illness here. You must leave at once.
21:22Miss Austin, you cannot be in here.
21:24What ails her?
21:26Diphtheria.
21:27It has spread through the village.
21:29But as for the rest, poverty, misfortune, nothing I can cure.
21:35Now I beg you, leave.
21:37It is not safe here.
21:38Come.
21:39Cassandra, I'll walk you to the end of the village.
21:50Beth, I must talk to you about Isabella's future.
21:53Isabella's future, that great conversation that never seems to end.
21:58Well, it has been discussed already.
22:00Endlessly.
22:01Though I try very hard to stay out of the Fowle family politics, as I have no appetite for meddling.
22:06Your sister is about to lose her home.
22:08Isabella is a grown woman.
22:11Surely she's more than capable of securing her own future, whatever that may be.
22:16I'm sorry, but I must get back.
22:18Miss Litterdale needs me.
22:20Come visit again when the school reopens.
22:22Beth, I'd like to show you what I do there.
22:24Beth.
22:25Beth.
22:34Oh, where have you been?
22:37We've been so worried.
22:39It's weather.
22:40Isabella!
22:41Remove this dog from my presence at once.
22:44It appears your Aunt Mary has risen from her rest.
22:47Yes.
22:48She found my mother's room a little on the chilly side.
22:50Still no letters, Mary?
23:00Er, no.
23:01Strangely.
23:03This is my sister's writing desk.
23:07Well, throw these away.
23:08Eliza was always prone to a great deal of sentiment.
23:10How foolish to go out in this weather, Cassandra.
23:14She'd do better at your age.
23:18That dog is feral.
23:21He'll be the death of me.
23:22He must be banned from the house at once.
23:26Tea.
23:27Dinah.
23:28In the drawing room.
23:29Come on, Peter.
23:30Come on.
23:30Come on.
23:30Come on.
23:30Come on.
23:32Is that the only tiling we have?
23:51We have packed the rest on, Mary.
23:53At your instruction.
23:54Oh, well.
23:55I suppose I must endure it.
23:57Oh, my leg is bothering me again.
24:02That tea will be going cold before any of us have a chance to taste it.
24:07Isabella, do you have any more cushions?
24:09My leg should be more raised.
24:12Er, more raised?
24:15Yes.
24:17And a blanket, perhaps.
24:27Yes.
24:28And more locks on fire.
24:32Oh, so where have you been, anyway?
24:37To visit Miss Beth.
24:39There is sickness at the top of the village.
24:42She's up there helping Mr. Lydderdale.
24:44Ah, Beth and Mr. Lydderdale.
24:47So she's a nurse as well as a teacher.
24:50They did seem very familiar with one another.
24:52Oh, hmm.
24:52That is a surprise, is it not, Isabella?
24:56You must forgive me, Aunt Mary.
24:58I have much to be getting on with.
25:01Dinah, draw Miss Austen a hot bath.
25:04We don't want her getting sick.
25:11Beth Fowl has been nothing but a trial for this family.
25:16Fraternising with certain elements of society.
25:20Her father did not approve.
25:21She was tending to Mrs. Winterbourne.
25:23You should see the conditions that poor woman lives in.
25:28Well, let us not dwell on Miss Fortune.
25:32Go, go, go, take your bath.
25:35I'll rest some more and then I can set about taking charge.
25:39Miss family needs a firmer hand.
25:40Miss family needs a firmer hand.
26:05Oh, it's dead.
26:07Hey.
26:08so you're in here now i thought i heard a noise i thought you were resting your leg
26:32oh the fire in the drawing room is a misery

28:39my dear isabella please try to pull yourself together mary mary she has just lost her father i am aware
28:47and it is sad but he was elderly and that is the natural order of things it should be easier to bear
28:56but there is nothing written to tell each one of us how we must endure grief
29:04isabella perhaps a few chapters from your aunt jane's novel may make a welcome distraction
29:10have you been reading aloud from jane's novels i thought your father had expressly forbidden that
29:17practice as you have reminded me aunt mary my father is no longer here perhaps i could recite some of
29:25your uncle james's poetry that is kind but i find myself pleasantly surprised by how much i am enjoying
29:33persuasion anne elliott is a most interesting character a pleasant sort of person sensible
29:44with not much drama about her and i am most keen to hear the ending of her story before i am evicted
29:49from this house will she have her happy ending well we must read on then and find out
29:56oh i must know if she is to be married is that the only outcome that would be happy
30:06it is oh isabella there are so many other ways for women like us to find happiness are there
30:17read on please cassandra
30:18from this time captain wentworth and anne elliott were repeatedly in the same circle
30:29they had no conversation together no intercourse but what the commonest civility required
30:36once so much to each other and now nothing now they were strangers nay worse than strangers
30:47for they could never become acquainted oh cassandra your sister understood affairs of the heart better than
30:56anyone please tell me did she ever know love writing was jane's greatest love she took great comfort
31:08from the heroes in her books but in life no man was ever worthy forgive me my dear but i think your
31:16memory fails here wasn't there a gentleman you both met in sidmouth the season you spent there remember
31:26and wasn't there even rivalry between you rivalry in love
31:35i have no idea what your aunt mary is talking about if i recall this gentleman seemed greatly attracted to jane
31:46to excuse me madam
32:00how romantic to fall in love by the sea
32:04what a lovely confection your aunt jane would be very amused to find herself the the heroine of a
32:19a romantic triangle
32:24i am afraid i find myself exceedingly tired and my head hurts
32:28that's okay i do hope i have not caught a chill from today's wonderings no no i can manage thank you

33:36Because.
33:37It becomes me.
33:39Your Aunt Jane is happy here.
33:43Let's just go shopping.
33:45Yes, please.
33:50Oh, look at the yellow one, Aunt Cassie.
34:05Do you see it?
34:07You all look so pretty in that.
34:09Far better than boring old black.
34:12It is very lovely, my dear.
34:17Oh, look at the blue, Aunt Cassie.
34:19It's the colour of the sea.
34:22Oh, it's like the yellow best because it's like the sun.
34:27It is indeed.
34:28Let's come back for some ribbons tomorrow.
34:32What a charming child.
34:38Excuse me, madam.
34:45Be of mine pertinence, miss, but that is the most excellent shell.
34:51Yes, it is.
34:52Mama, are you ready?
34:56Thank you, my dear.
34:58Good day to you.
34:59Oh, I do like it here.
35:17Oh, I like it very much.
35:19So what have you been up to since the beach, my darlings?
35:21I hope you haven't been sitting in here when outside there's all manner of magnificence.
35:25Look, Aunt Jane, I found this for my collection.
35:28Oh, that's a beauty.
35:31Cassie, I think the sea is beginning to work its magic.
35:35I spy some colour in this landlubber's face.
35:38We'll make a pirate out of her yet.
35:40I think Aunt Cass is recovering some of her bloom too in spite of her best efforts.
35:46You look better.
35:48The nice man we met in the dress shop said it was a most excellent shell.
35:53Nice man?
35:55What nice man is this, pray tell?
35:58I'll go and check on Mother, and then we can make plans for the rest of the day.
36:03Is Grandmama poorly?
36:06No, my dear.
36:07Your Grandmama likes to take to her bed whenever we arrive anywhere new.
36:11She can test the mattress, meet the doctors, sample the wares of the local apothecary.
36:16It's her way of feeling at home.
36:18Like all the best invalids, she will outlive us all.
36:21Jane, that's not fair.
36:23Mama has been quite bilious since we arrived.
36:26Travel affects her.
36:32Oh, they're beautiful.
36:34My bowels feel much steadier, Cassie.
36:37After what was the most frightful evacuation.
36:40Oh, thanks be to the Lord.
36:42I think I will like this apothecary.
36:45He has a good feel for my system.
36:52Beautiful evening.
36:53Yes, quite beautiful.
36:57Mrs. George Austen.
36:59Mr. Henry Hobdate, my pleasure, ma'am.
37:02This is my eldest daughter, Miss Austen.
37:07Yes, I do believe I've made your daughter's acquaintance before.
37:11Miss Austen.
37:13Passing encounter in a shop is all.
37:16Indeed.
37:20And this is my other daughter, Miss Jane Austen.
37:24Delighted.
37:25Likewise.
37:27Have a lovely evening.
37:29Come.
37:32Father and Anna will be waiting.
37:35Impatiently, no doubt.
37:59I don't want to go all the way up there, Grandpa Pa.
38:03You don't have to, my pet.
38:05We have every chance of discovering treasures amongst these rocks.
38:09Good morning, sir.
38:10Splendid day for fossil hunting, is it not?
38:12Indeed it is, sir.
38:15Now, my granddaughter has declared it the perfect day
38:18to unearth hidden treasures from the past.
38:21Well, she has come to the right place.
38:23Ladies.
38:24I'm not a lady and far too young.
38:26My apologies.
38:30Now, you are a serious fossil hunter, are you not?
38:32I am.
38:33Well, I've already found some excellent specimens
38:35that you might be interested in.
38:37Let me furnish you with the tools of the trade.
38:40We are blessed to have such an expert with us.
38:43Ah, no expert.
38:44More of an enthusiastic amateur.
38:46The mystery of ancient life
38:56can be hidden in these very rocks.
38:58Do you think I'll find a sea monster, Mr Hobjay?
39:01Well, perhaps not a monster, but a sea creature, certainly.
39:06Some sea creatures, fossils, are found at the top of mountains.
39:10Isn't that so?
39:11You see, many years ago, the earth was almost completely covered by water.
39:15And then, over time, those waters receded to reveal the land beneath.
39:19Do you think I'll find a sea creature in there?
39:29You may well do.
39:31What am I looking at?
39:55It's the shape of a worm.
39:57Mr Hobday says it must be thousands of years old.
39:59Many thousand, even.
40:01That is evidence of a creature that lived on earth even before man.
40:06What are you drawing, my dear?
40:07My daughter is an artist of considerable talent.
40:10Papa.
40:11Oh, look, she's captured your likeness brilliantly.
40:14May I see?
40:16It is but a sketch.
40:19Now, young lady, let us leave Mr Hobday in peace.
40:22Mr Hobday is so clever, Aunt Jane.
40:25Is he now?
40:26He knows everything.
40:27Does he know?
40:28Aunt Cassie drew a sketch of him.
40:29Did she know?
40:30She did, and it was quite the likeness.
40:31Not just of him.
40:32I drew all three of them, while I was bored waiting for them to finish.
40:35And what was your opinion of Mr Hobday, husband?
40:36Well, given we hardly know him, he struck me as unusually gifted in all that is agreeable.
40:42And...
40:43Now, Cassie, pray tell me.
40:44Do you share your father's opinion?
40:45I must say, I do.
40:46So much so that I believe he would be an ideal suitor for Jane.
40:47I do all three of them.
40:48I do all three of them, while I was bored waiting for them to finish.
40:49And what was your opinion of Mr Hobday, husband?
40:50Well, given we hardly know him, he struck me as unusually gifted in all that is agreeable.
40:57And...
40:58Now, Cassie, pray tell me.
41:01Do you share your father's opinion?
41:03I must say, I do.
41:06So much so that I believe he would be an ideal suitor for Jane.
41:12For me?
41:13Yes, you.
41:14He's intelligent.
41:16He...
41:17He reads.
41:18He knows a great deal about the history of mankind.
41:21And you must think of your future, Jane.
41:24It matters not a jot which of you, as long as it's one of you.
41:33I have no intention of taking tea with Mrs Hobday, or anyone for that matter.
41:41Far too busy.
41:42I have a chapter I must finish.
41:47Well, what if he's there?
41:49What if who is there?
41:50Mr Hobday.
41:53You...
41:54You might find him to your liking.
41:57I won't find him to my liking.
42:03One moment.
42:04How is your headache?
42:05I...
42:06You retired rather abruptly, and I thought I'd look in on you.
42:08Was it something I said?
42:09No.
42:10No.
42:11No.
42:12No.
42:13No.
42:14No.
42:15No.
42:16No.
42:17No.
42:18No.
42:19No.
42:20No.
42:21No.
42:22No.
42:23No.
42:24No.
42:25No.
42:26No.
42:27No.
42:28No.
42:29No.
42:30No.
42:31No.
42:32No.
42:33No.
42:34No.
42:35No.
42:36No.
42:37Not at all.
42:38I can't even remember what we were talking about.
42:39How is Eliza's room?
42:40Cold.
42:41This house is like the grave now.
42:46Well, good night.
42:47Good night.
42:48Sleep well.
42:49My dear.
42:50Oh, Mrs. Austin, I do sympathize.
43:04I'm here for the sea air, but this wretched body of mine has not let me outdoors all week.
43:09How awful.
43:10Well, I was struck down by biliousness the minute we arrived.
43:16It'll be her evacuations next.
43:18Perhaps the floor will open up and swallow us.
43:21It would be a blessed relief.
43:23And what of Mr. Hobday?
43:25We lost my husband.
43:27Four years ago.
43:28Four years ago.
43:29I'm sorry to hear that.
43:32What did he ail from?
43:34A tumour.
43:35A tumour?
43:37We saw the best of men, but there was nothing to be done.
43:42I see you are studying our books.
43:45Do novels interest you both?
43:47Very much so.
43:48You have some of our favourites here.
43:50My sister and I never go anywhere without Sir Charles Granderson by our side.
43:53These are my son's books, and he reads to me every night.
43:57Perhaps that shall be our next book.
43:59Your son enjoys the works of the Madame Burnie and Hedgeworth.
44:02Cassie seemed to think he was of the more scientific persuasion.
44:06He's a scientist and an artist.
44:09A philosopher and a lover of the novel.
44:12I do believe he could take over the world if he were not so insistent on looking after his poor, infirm mother.
44:18Would you like some cake?
44:21Well, he did say he was perfect.
44:23I'm not sure what my constitution would take.
44:26That curate was handsome enough and single from what I hear, but his sermon was a touch...
44:38Terrifying, Mama.
44:39Mrs. Austin.
44:40Mrs. Austin.
44:41Oh!
44:42Well, this is a coincidence.
44:45And, I must say, the happiest one.
44:48Mr. Hobdame?
44:49Mrs. Hobdame?
44:50Mrs. Austin.
44:51How did you find the sermon today, sir?
44:54Oh, I thought the young lad did well enough, considering his church was hardly full to brimming.
45:00That must explain his histrionics in the pulpit.
45:02Perhaps he's hoping his reputation for hysteria will travel and drum up more gullible trade from out of town.
45:08My dear Jane is entitled to preach in his own manner.
45:11My father is being polite.
45:13That sermon was not to our taste.
45:15It was vulgar and excessive.
45:17What did you think, Mr. Hobdame?
45:18Jane!
45:19You cannot ask Mr. Hobdame of his opinion when you've been so sure of your own.
45:24Do forgive my sister, Mr. Hobdame.
45:27She's not usually quite so outspoken.
45:29I can assure you, she certainly is, Mr. Hobdame.
45:32Well, luckily, I agree most comprehensively with Mrs. Austin.
45:36It was not to my taste either.
45:38How are you all finding Sidmouths?
45:39Oh.
45:40I like it very much.
45:41We are of the exact same opinion once again, it was seen.
45:44We must pick up the pace, girls.
45:46Our son Frank isn't drowning tonight.
45:48Did you know our brother has fought Napoleon single-handed, Mr. Hobdame?
45:53I rather approve of your Mr. Hobdame.
45:57He's not my Mr. Hobdame.
45:59In fact, I thought you made rather the impression.
46:02Was I delightful?
46:03No, you were frightful.
46:05As frightful as I was to Mr. Blackhall?
46:08Nobody in the history of social intercourse has been as frightful to anyone as you were to Mr. Blackhall.
46:13So would you estimate this morning it's a half a Blackhall?
46:17I think I'd say more of a third.
46:19And he's certainly not my Mr. Hobdame.
46:23Really?
46:24Then you have not noticed the way he looks at you?
46:26Nonsense.
46:27He ignores me at every opportunity.
46:29He pays everyone else far more attention.
46:31Papa, Anna, you.
46:32Precisely.
46:33And that is the evidence.
46:35I'm something of an expert in romantic matters.
46:38And I'm quite sure I saw sparks flying between you.
46:42I think one even caught in my bonnet.
46:44Because of your charms, I might have gone up in smoke.
46:47Cass.
46:48How can you be so blind?
46:51You have caught him in your powers.
46:53I have no powers.
46:54Oh, you do, my darling.
46:56And that you are unaware of them makes you more powerful still.
46:59Mr. Hobday has fallen for you, Cassie.
47:03Well, then I'm sorry for him.
47:06I've lost the only man I could ever marry.
47:09I have no possible interest in Mr. Hobday.
47:16Where are you going?
47:17To right.
47:33Jane.
47:35What more have you said?
47:38Eliza.
47:39Our Sidmouth adventure is proving far more entertaining than even I could have imagined.
47:44A secret plan is afoot.
47:46And I am to be my young niece Anna's willing accomplice.
47:50The beneficiary of our surprise is to be Cassie, no less.
48:05Please say you like it.
48:09Here is a secret.
48:10Thank you, Amanda.
48:11Thank you,ите.
48:12Thank you, Fred.
48:16You see your power now?
48:46What is it?
49:00Just waiting for someone.
49:14Miss Austin.
49:14What's the whole day?
49:18Yellow suits you.
49:20I may have neglected to say how sorry I was to hear of your tragic loss.
49:44That is most kind, Mr. Hovday.
49:50I confess I was overwhelmed by grief at first.
49:56And now?
50:00Now...
50:02It's not so sharp.
50:04My dear Eliza, this comes to you with great urgency.
50:16I must share it with you, though it is not my secret to tell.
50:22My sister, my beloved sister Cassie, is in love.
50:28I'm sorry.
50:30I'm sorry.
50:32I'm sorry.
50:34I'm sorry.
50:44Cassandra!
50:46What are you doing down here at this hour?
50:48I heard a noise.
50:49It frightened the life out of me.
50:50I don't know how I got here.
50:52Are you ill?
50:54You must be ill.
50:55Now don't come here if you're ill.
50:56Please.
50:57Please just leave me here.
50:59No, if you're sure.
51:27I just don't know.
51:41Miss Austen?
51:42Miss Austen?
51:44God save us don't tell us she's gone and died on Miss...
51:46Cassandra.
51:47Isabella.
51:48Cassandra it's me.
51:49Isabella.
51:50Is she alright?
51:51She's burning up.
51:52She's snapping for her so simple.
51:54Miss Isabella.
51:56Miss Isabella, Mr. Litterdale is too busy. We'll nurse her ourselves.
52:00Miss Isabella?
52:01I know what I am doing, Dinah.
52:08A beautiful day, is it not?
52:10Quite beautiful.
52:11Then I wonder if you might consider walking out for me.
52:20Eliza's letters.
52:21Am I to understand you already have knowledge of their whereabouts?
52:25Why ever would you think that?
52:27If I were the future Mrs. Harris Bigwither, I should make room for as many sisters as possible.
52:32Are you an admirer of the seaside, Mr. Bigwither?
52:36Do you truly believe that you could one day love this man?
52:38When manna falls from heaven, it would be foolish to squander it.
52:43I am to be in print!
52:45I want to be a published authorette!
52:55Free!
52:57Theures!
52:59The aligner of the seaside!
53:02The run of the seaside!
53:03Free!
53:05The bus!
53:07The star is a church!
53:10The bar is a church!
53:13The heart is a church!
53:16The house is a church!
