Oh, but Lizzie
would never admit that she's plain.
:12:06
Of course, it's my Jane who's considered
the beauty of the county.
:12:10
Mama, please!
:12:12
When she was 15, a gentleman
was so much in love with her,
:12:15
I was sure he would make her an offer.
:12:17
However, he did write her
some very pretty verses.
:12:21
And that put paid to it.
:12:22
I wonder who discovered the power
of poetry in driving away love.
:12:25
- I thought poetry was the food of love.
- Of a fine, stout love.
:12:29
But if it is only a vague inclination,
one poor sonnet will kill it.
:12:32
So, what do you recommend
to encourage affection?
:12:36
Dancing. Even if one's partner
is barely tolerable.
:13:03
Mr Bingley is just what
a young man ought to be.
:13:07
- Sensible, good-humoured...
- Handsome, conveniently rich...
:13:10
Marriage should not be driven
by thoughts of money.
:13:13
Only deep love
will persuade me to marry.
:13:16
- Which is why I'll end up an old maid.
- Do you really believe he liked me?
:13:20
He danced with you most of the night,
and stared at you the rest.
:13:24
I give you leave to like him.
You've liked many stupider.
:13:27
You're a great deal too apt
to like people in general.
:13:30
All the world
is good in your eyes.
:13:32
Not his friend. I still can't believe
what he said about you.
:13:35
Mr Darcy?
:13:38
I'd more easily forgive his vanity
had he not wounded mine.
:13:43
But no matter.
I doubt we shall ever speak again.
