Mrs Bennet, I was hoping,
if it would not trouble you,
:45:09
that I might solicit
a private audience with Miss Elizabeth.
:45:13
Oh, certainly,
Lizzie would be very happy indeed.
:45:19
Everyone, out. Mr Collins would like
a private audience with your sister.
:45:23
Wait, Mr Collins can have nothing
to say to me that anybody need not hear.
:45:28
I desire you will stay where you are.
Everyone else to the drawing room.
:45:32
- Mr Bennet.
- But...
:45:33
Now.
:45:37
- Jane. Jane, don't... Jane!
- Jane.
:45:44
Papa, stay.
:46:12
Dear Miss Elizabeth,
:46:14
My attentions have been
too marked to be mistaken.
:46:18
Almost as soon
as I entered the house,
:46:20
I singled you out
as the companion of my future life.
:46:25
But before I am run away
with my feelings,
:46:28
perhaps I may state
my reasons for marrying.
:46:31
Firstly, that it is
the duty of a clergyman
:46:33
to set the example
of matrimony in his parish.
:46:36
Secondly, I am convinced
it will add greatly to my happiness.
:46:40
And thirdly,
that it is at the urging
:46:43
of my esteemed patroness,
Lady Catherine,
:46:46
that I select a wife.
:46:49
My object in coming to Longbourn
was to choose such a one
:46:52
from among Mr Bennet's daughters,
:46:54
for I am to inherit the estate
:46:57
and such an alliance will surely...
