Mr. KnightIey ?

1:49:15

Mr. KnightIey,

1:49:17

I stopped you ungraciousIy
just now and gave you pain.

1:49:21

If you have any wish to speak
to me openIy about anything
you might have in contempIation,

1:49:25

as your friend
I cannot refuse you.

1:49:29

Indeed,
as your oId friend,

1:49:32

I wiII hear whatever it is
you wish to teII me.

1:49:35

Emma !

1:49:37

You want our friendship to remain
the same as it has aIways been.

1:49:42

- But I cannot desire that.
- But why ?

1:49:46

I know I made mistakes, but had you
been here the Iast few days...

1:49:49

you wouId have seen
how I have tried to change.

1:49:52

PIease, teII me
I am your friend.

1:49:54

I do not wish to caII you
my friend because...

1:49:58

I hope to caII you something
infiniteIy more dear.

1:50:05

Have you not wondered why I never
befriended Frank ChurchiII ?

1:50:11

It was because I knew
he was intended for you.

1:50:18

Indeed, when you insuIted
Miss Bates at the picnic,

1:50:23

I thought that evidence
of his infIuence over you.

1:50:28

And I couId not bear
to see it.

1:50:32

So I went away.

1:50:35

But I went to the wrong pIace.

1:50:42

My brother's house is usuaIIy
a pIace of comfort to me,

1:50:45

but seeing your sister there
kept you fresh in my mind.

1:50:52

And the torture,
I assure you,

1:50:55

was acute.

1:50:57

I onIy feIt hope again...

1:50:59

when I heard of
Mr. ChurchiII's engagement.
