:23:00
Absolutely, I find the country
very diverting. Don't you agree, Darcy?
:23:05
I find it perfectly adequate.
:23:07
Even if society
is a little less varied than in town.
:23:10
Less varied? Not at all.
:23:12
We dine with four and 20 families
of all shapes and sizes.
:23:16
Sir William Lucas, for instance,
is a very agreeable man.
:23:20
And a good deal less self-important
than some people half his rank.
:23:24
Mr Bingley,
is it true you will hold a ball here?
:23:28
A ball?
:23:29
It would be an excellent way to meet new
friends. You could invite the militia.
:23:34
- Oh, do hold a ball!
- Kitty!
:23:36
When your sister recovers,
you shall name the day.
:23:39
I think a ball is an irrational way
to gain new acquaintance.
:23:44
It would be better if conversation,
not dancing, were the order of the day.
:23:48
Indeed, much more rational,
but rather less like a ball.
:23:52
Thank you, Mary.
:23:55
What a fine imposing place to be sure,
is it not, my dears?
:23:59
There's no house
to equal it in the county.
:24:02
- Mr Darcy.
- Miss Bennet.
:24:04
- There she is.
- I don't know how to thank you.
:24:07
You're welcome any time
you feel the least bit poorly.
:24:10
Thank you for your stimulating company.
Most instructive.
:24:13
Not at all. The pleasure is all mine.
:24:19
- Mr Darcy.
- Miss Elizabeth.
:24:33
And then there was one
with great long lashes, like a cow.
:24:38
Ask Mrs Hill
to order us a sirloin, Betsy.
:24:41
Just the one, mind.
We're not made of money.
:24:46
I hope, my dear,
you've ordered a good dinner today.
:24:50
I've reason to expect
an addition to our family party.
:24:54
His name's Mr Collins,
the dreaded cousin.
:24:57
- Who is to inherit?
- Everything.
:24:59
Even my piano stool
belongs to Mr Collins.
