01:31It's dreadfully unhealthy.
01:33I want to climb the high downs,
01:36breathe, approach the clouds.
01:41Oh, I wonder who that can be.
01:51It's Colonel Brandon, ma'am.
01:53Oh.
01:56Oh, Colonel.
01:58Won't you come in?
02:00Please excuse all this.
02:01You'll find us still unpacking.
02:03It is you who must forgive the intrusion, Mrs. Atwell.
02:06Ladies.
02:08But I was passing,
02:09and I wish to offer you every assistance I could in your settling in.
02:12I have, for instance, a good estate carpenter.
02:15Oh, he could help Tom with the pantry shelves.
02:17Thank you, Colonel. Thank you.
02:20Oh, Colonel, some tea.
02:22No, I shall not stay to incommode you one moment further.
02:25Bid you good morning.
02:28Oh, Miss Marianne,
02:30I must apologize about last night,
02:33the inattention when you sang so beautifully.
02:37Do not judge ill of our friends.
02:39They are good people.
02:41It is simply their way.
02:53Charming man.
02:55That'll stick.
02:57My dear, Mrs. Jennings, has he married off to him already?
03:01Oh, I don't know whether to laugh at her absurdity
03:04or condemn her impertinence.
03:07He's old enough to be my father.
03:10Not much over 35, I should say.
03:13If he ever did have the spirit to be in love,
03:15he must have long ago outlived it.
03:17That's too ridiculous.
03:19Why, he talked of wearing flannel waistcoats.
03:22Mrs. Jennings shouldn't joke about a man of his age and infirmity.
03:26Infirmity?
03:28Do you call Colonel Brandon infirm?
03:31I heard him complain of a touch of rheumatism.
03:33Oh, so do I sometimes.
03:36You must think it's a miracle I'm still alive.
03:39And mine.
03:52Oh!
03:54Oh, is there a happiness in the world superior to this?
04:01Nearly there. We shall have the earth at our feet.
04:05Marianne, your shoes.
04:07You be careful.
04:09Come on.
04:23Come on.
04:37Not so fast! I can't stop!
04:48Marianne, are you hurt?
04:51Oh!
04:53May I be of any help?
04:58The uneven ground is treacherous.
05:01My sister has twisted her ankle.
05:03Are you able to stand?
05:06Oh!
05:09Where do you live?
05:11At Barton Cottage.
05:16Come here, Finn!
05:19Now, wait here till I get back.
05:22Wait!
05:25There is only one means of transport.
05:34Oh, sir, no, please.
05:36It would be immodest.
05:38Sir! Oh!
05:41Come. Your sister is in good hands.
05:48Come.
06:18Oh!
06:28You must wait through, please.
06:30Oh, dear heavens!
06:32Marianne has twisted her ankle.
06:34I will fetch some things from the kitchen.
06:36You must excuse the abrupt entry, Mrs. Dashwood.
06:39Your daughters have introduced you.
06:41And why, necessarily, discourtesy to this young lady?
06:44Oh, no, it was gallantry.
06:47Ah, no pain, I hope.
06:49Only gratitude to my deliverer.
06:51Oh!
06:52Do not be alarmed, Mrs. Dashwood. A little rest will cure it.
06:55Oh, sir!
06:58Words cannot express my thanks.
07:01Nor mine.
07:02And my apologies for the trouble I have given you.
07:05You've given me the occasion to meet a charming family.
07:11Oh, thank you, Susan.
07:17Oh!
07:21Pray, sir, to whom are we indebted for this...
07:24Oh, more than kindness.
07:27My name is John Willoughby.
07:29I'm staying at Allan Home. Perhaps you know the house.
07:32We've passed it, Mama. That lovely manor house outside the village.
07:35Oh, so we have.
07:37Pray, sir, be seated.
07:39Some refreshment?
07:41No, not in these muddy boots, Mrs. Dashwood.
07:44I will leave in the hope that I may have the honor of calling tomorrow
07:48to inquire after Miss Marianne.
07:50We shall look forward very much to seeing you again.
07:52Mrs. Dashwood.
07:54Miss Marianne.
08:04We are indebted to you, Mr. Willoughby.
08:06Not at all, Miss Dashwood. Good day.
08:08Good day.
08:14Good day.
08:24Willoughby, was it?
08:26Just like him.
08:28I didn't know he was in the country. That's good news.
08:31I'll write over tomorrow and ask him to dinner.
08:33Oh, you know him, then?
08:35Know him? To be sure.
08:37He's down here every year.
08:39And what manner of young man is he?
08:41The goodest fellow who has ever lived, I assure you.
08:44Very decent shot.
08:46Not a bolder rider in England.
08:48And is that all you can say for him?
08:50Ah, he hasn't much money.
08:52Six or seven hundred a year, I should say.
08:55What are his manners?
08:57His pursuits, his talents and genius.
09:00Upon my soul!
09:02I don't know much about all that,
09:04but he's a pleasant fellow.
09:07And he's got the nicest little bits of a pointer I ever saw.
09:10Was she out with him today?
09:12I have no idea.
09:14And who is this Mr. Willoughby?
09:16Where does he come from? Is Allenham his house?
09:18It's his aunt's home.
09:20He's nothing of his own except a bit of land in Somerset,
09:23but he'll inherit from his aunt.
09:25Oh, yes, ladies, he's well worth catching.
09:27Catching gentlemen, as you call it,
09:29is not an employment to which my daughters have been brought up.
09:32Mr. Willoughby will not be incommoded by either.
09:35He seems a respectable young man, though,
09:37and eligible as an acquaintance.
09:39He's as good a fellow as ever lived.
09:42I remember, last Christmas,
09:44a little hop up at the park,
09:46he danced from eight o'clock till four without one sitting down.
09:50Did he, indeed?
09:52And with elegance, with spirit.
09:54Did I? He was up again at eight to write a couplet.
09:57That is what I like.
09:59That is what a young man ought to be.
10:01Aye, aye, I see how it'll be.
10:03You'll be setting your cap at this one now,
10:06never mind poor Brandon.
10:08That is an expression, Sir John,
10:10which I particularly dislike.
10:12I abhor commonplace phrases which pass for wit.
10:16Oh, poor Brandon.
10:18He will be jealous.
10:20If you'd any sense,
10:22you'd sprain your other ankle outside his house.
10:25He could buy Willoughby and not notice.
10:28Ha, ha, ha, ha!
10:36By some crystal spring
10:40Where the nightingales sing
10:44Most pleasant it is in season
10:49To hear the groves ring
10:53Down by the riverside
10:57I am captain, I am spy
11:02In treating of his true love
11:06Ought to be his bride
11:11Dear Phyllis, says he
11:16Can you fancy me
11:20All in your soft bowers
11:25A crommage shall we
11:29You shall take no pain
11:34I will you maintain
11:39My ship, she's a loader
11:44Just coming from Spain
11:55I had not told you before, Phyllis.
11:59Willoughby has given me a horse.
12:02A horse? Marianne, this is folly.
12:04What is wrong with a gift from a man?
12:06It is exactly suitable for a lady.
12:08He will send for it at once.
12:10It is entirely improper to take a gift from a man
12:12whom you know so little.
12:14You are mistaken in thinking I know little of Willoughby.
12:16Oh, Marianne.
12:18It is not so.
12:20I know little of our brother John after a lifetime.
12:22And Willoughby.
12:24And you see, faithful as ever, here he comes.
12:32You will not accept this gift.
12:34You must not impose its expense on poor mother.
12:36Please promise me.
12:38I know I cannot stand up to you.
12:40I know I cannot stand up to you.
12:42I know I cannot stand up to you.
12:44I know I cannot stand up to you.
12:46I know I cannot stand up to you.
12:48I know I cannot stand up to you.
12:50Very well.
12:54Ladies.
12:56Good morning, Mr. Willoughby.
12:58Who's Marianne?
13:00My sister tells me
13:02that I may not accept the horse.
13:06I'm sorry, Mr. Willoughby.
13:08Oh.
13:10Well, never mind.
13:24Then I shall keep it
13:26until you can claim it.
13:28When you leave Barton to set up your own home,
13:32Queen Mab will be ready to receive you.
13:34Marianne.
13:48Marianne.
13:50Marianne.
14:18Marianne.
14:34It is kind of you to call Colonel Brandon.
14:38As you see, my sister progresses.
14:40Good. That is why I came.
14:44They make a pretty couple, do they not?
14:46You must not call them a couple, Colonel.
14:48I know of no grounds for that as yet.
14:54I wish you could have found her alone,
14:56but I shall tell her that you called.
14:58My visit is far from wasted.
15:00She recovers, does she not,
15:02and I have the opportunity to convey an invitation to her.
15:04An invitation?
15:06It's from Sir John and myself jointly.
15:08We are organizing an excursion
15:10to my brother-in-law's home at Whitwell on Friday.
15:12Mama has a cold
15:14and is to rest all this week.
15:16But for my sister and me, I accept with pleasure.
15:18Splendid.
15:20And if either you or your sister should care
15:22to invite Mr. Willoughby to accompany you,
15:24please feel free to do so.
15:28Miss Ashwood.
15:30Please.
15:34I understand
15:36your sister does not approve
15:38of second attachments.
15:40No.
15:42She is too romantic.
15:44Though how she can ignore the fact
15:46we are children of a second marriage
15:48and a happy one, I do not know.
15:50She will change her opinions when she's lived a few more years.
15:52Probably.
15:54Yet there is something
15:56amiable of the prejudices
15:58of a young mind.
16:00It is sad to see them give way to the lessons of time.
16:02I cannot agree.
16:04Marianne's ignorance of life
16:06may cause her troubles with which
16:08all the charm of innocence cannot atone.
16:10I wish her a better knowledge of the world.
16:12Oh, do not desire a total change of sentiment in her.
16:14Sometimes these things happen too suddenly.
16:16And for the worse.
16:18I speak from experience.
16:20Colonel?
16:22I once knew
16:24a young lady
16:26who in temper and mind
16:28greatly resembled your sister.
16:30And as to what the shock of experience did to her.
16:36But I'm boring you.
16:38Colonel Brandon?
16:40Miss Dashwood, I have no right.
16:42No right.
16:44It matters not.
16:54Thank you for your patience.
17:02Good day, Colonel.
17:04Miss Dashwood.
17:08Well, fierce contention end
17:10if flowers can disagree.
17:12Within the garden's peaceful scene
17:14arose two lovely...
17:16appeared two lovely foes
17:18aspiring to the rank of queen.
17:20The lily and the rose.
17:22The rose soon reddened into rage
17:24and swelling with disdain
17:26appealed to many
17:28a poet's page
17:30to prove her right to reign.
17:34Is it not remarkable
17:36the poets I love, you love?
17:38The novels I read, you read.
17:40And whenever I venture a point of view
17:42on some topic of the mind
17:44you do not scoff at me.
17:46Now, who is so foolish as to do that?
17:48My sister, for one.
17:50But you agree with me.
17:52No, not always.
17:54But then we even enjoy disputation.
18:00Forgive me if I intrude.
18:02No, not at all.
18:04I come with an invitation
18:06to a picnic at Whitwell on Friday.
18:08It is from Colonel Brandon.
18:10Brandon? Has he been here?
18:12Yes, and he particularly mentioned you, Mr. Willoughby.
18:14Did he?
18:16If you care to come, you're welcome.
18:18That's kind of him.
18:20Of course Mr. Willoughby will come, won't you?
18:22At your invitation, Miss Marianne.
18:24How could I refuse?
18:26The Colonel also called to inquire after you, Marianne.
18:30Oh, dear.
18:32Colonel Brandon is just the kind of man
18:34whom everybody speaks well of
18:36but nobody cares about.
18:38That is unkind.
18:40But true.
18:42Everyone's pleased to see him
18:44but nobody bothers to talk to him.
18:46That is exactly what I think of him.
18:48Do not boast of it, Marianne.
18:50It is an injustice in both of you.
18:52I enjoy his company.
18:54So do the family at the park.
18:56I should call it an indignity
18:58to be approved of by such women
19:00The abuse of people like yourself and Marianne
19:02is a compensation.
19:04If to be praised by them is bad
19:06to be censured by you may be praise.
19:08In defense of your protégé
19:10you may even be saucy.
19:14My protégé, as you call him, is a sensible man
19:16and sense will always have its attractions for me.
19:20Yes, Marianne, even in a man over 30.
19:24The battle grows too hot for me.
19:26I will take my leave.
19:28Ladies.
19:58Oh!
20:00Fine picnic weather I'm glad to say.
20:02I see you brought your own caracal.
20:04Yes, I thought it might be of some use, Sir John.
20:06With room for just one passenger.
20:10And who do you think that will be, my dear?
20:12I have no idea.
20:14Well, I think we should make a start.
20:16We expect it early at Whittle.
20:20Come along, sir.
20:22You're in command of the regiment today.
20:24Are you ready, ladies?
20:26What is the matter?
20:28The colonel looks so upset.
20:30Oh, I hope it is not bad news, my dear.
20:32Brandon, my dear fellow.
20:36London. Business.
20:38But why should a business letter upset you so?
20:40Come.
20:42Tell us, madam.
20:44Recollect yourself.
20:46Madam, I am stunned that this letter should have arrived
20:48now.
20:50But I'm required immediately in London.
20:52But you can't desert us now.
20:56Furthermore, it renders our excursion
20:58this morning impossible.
21:00I would be needed to gain out of Britain, Sir Woodwell.
21:02But if you write a note to the housekeeper...
21:04Oh, Brandon, this won't do.
21:06You'll just have to put your journey off
21:08till tomorrow, that's all.
21:10That is not in my power, Sir John.
21:12It wouldn't be more than six hours late
21:14if you went this evening.
21:16I cannot leave one hour.
21:18Forgive me, Lady Millington.
21:20I'm truly sorry to leave so delightful a party.
21:30There are some people who cannot bear
21:32a party of pleasures.
21:34This is some trick he's invented.
21:36I don't know.
21:38Come with me.
21:40I have an idea.
21:42Please.
21:54Tell us at least when you'll be back.
21:56I cannot say, Sir John.
22:08I know what this business is.
22:10A certain young lady
22:12who is a close relation of his.
22:14She is his natural daughter.
22:18Strange fellow.
22:20Never mind.
22:22We'll have a picnic.
22:24What do you say to Welborough Hill?
22:40Oh, my God.
23:02Ah.
23:04They are in the parlour.
23:06Marianne and Willoughby.
23:08It was the Alunum House.
23:10It was entirely improper.
23:12Even if the house might someday become her own.
23:14Alunum.
23:20You have no right to go there unaccompanied.
23:22His aunt was there.
23:24That makes no difference.
23:26Even if she was there to receive you.
23:28I did not see her.
23:30She sent for him and I don't know what.
23:32He brought me straight home
23:34and he's changed.
23:36Marianne, my dear.
23:40Later, Mama.
23:42Let Mr. Willoughby explain first.
23:56Oh, my dear John.
23:58What is the matter?
24:00Is Marianne ill?
24:02I hope not.
24:04Less than I do.
24:06I must leave at once for London.
24:08For London?
24:10Is this a day of mysteries?
24:12It is merely that my aunt, Mrs. Smith,
24:14has today exercised the privilege of riches
24:16over a poor dependent
24:18by sending me on business to London.
24:20That is unfortunate
24:22but her business need not detain you from us for long.
24:24You are very kind.
24:28But my visits to Mrs. Smith
24:30are never repeated within the 12 months.
24:34You propose to be away for at least a year.
24:38And is Mrs. Smith your only friend?
24:40Is Allenham the only house
24:42in the neighborhood to which you will be welcome?
24:44Oh, for shame.
24:46John, do you wait
24:48for an invitation here?
24:50You are too good.
24:52At Barton Cottage you will always be welcome.
24:56My engagements at present are of such a nature
24:58that I dare not make any plans.
25:04It is folly to linger in this manner.
25:06I will not torment myself
25:08by remaining among friends
25:10whose society it is now impossible
25:12for me to enjoy.
25:16Forgive me.
25:18Come on.
25:36Walk on.
25:48Walk on.
26:18Walk on.
26:48Walk on.
