Marianne is at last out of danger. Elinor, waiting for Colonel Brandon to return with Mrs. Dashwood, receives a visit from a desperately remorseful Willoughby.
Transcript
00:00You
00:30I
01:00Do believe you're better. Yes, I feel better
01:12I've been in bed
01:18Exactly as a colonel promised my is here
01:30Oh
01:39Are we in time?
01:41You're smiling
01:43Oh marry on
01:45This way Mrs. Ashwood
01:47My dear colonel
01:49Found your mother about to snort out herself
01:51She's determined to come on her own account
01:57Oh
01:59Oh
02:01My god
02:03Oh
02:04Thank the dear Lord who has given you back to me. I
02:07Was so frightened. I had no news. You see I expected you home and you'd not come
02:15Let me look at you. Oh
02:17How thin you are
02:20Well, I shall soon feed you up. You will have all your favorite things and praise their steam
02:30Oh
02:41We must let her rest she's still very weak you go to sleep now Marianne
02:47Lamar is with you. She will not go away
02:56You need sleep to my dear
02:59I can see that
03:02This is my place now
03:18Colonel Brandon, I cannot find words to acknowledge what we owe to you or to thank you adequately
03:25The glimpse I had just now of your sister was sufficient. Thanks, not that I need any
03:33If ever a man deserved his heart's desire it is you colonel
03:54Oh
04:12Last we're alone. Oh
04:16My dear Eleanor you do not yet know all my happiness
04:20Colonel Brandon loves Marianne. He told me so himself
04:25Oh
04:27You're never like me dear Eleanor. Look how calmly you take the news
04:32He opened his whole heart to me yesterday as we traveled
04:36He came out quite unawares quite without desire. I
04:39Could talk of nothing but my child
04:42He gave way to his feelings and he told me of his earnest tender constant affection for Marianne.
04:50I think everybody knows Colonel Brandon to be an excellent man
04:54Excellent. Oh
04:57Think how he remained constant throughout that terrible business with Willoughby and
05:01Think how he brought me here. Any man might do as much for love. Oh
05:06Eleanor do you now belittle him? On the contrary
05:10I'm saying what makes him so fine a gentleman is his constant goodness to everybody.
05:17I have offered him our heartfelt thanks for all he has done. Oh, thanks are not enough my love. One must help good causes along.
05:25I have told him that Marianne will be well enough to see him tomorrow
05:32Whose idea was this?
05:35Mother's I suppose.
05:37You must thank him.
05:41He is a worthy man
05:43But worthy men are so uninteresting
05:47Especially men of his age
05:49And letting him see me in this state. You look lovely. My skin looks terrible
05:55You're romantically pale like the heroine of one of mrs. Radcliffe's novels
06:01Yes, I see what you mean
06:03Ha ha ha
06:15Good morning, Colonel Brandon. Please come in. Miss Dashwood
06:21Miss Marianne, it is both an honor and the greatest of pleasures to see you.
06:29I
06:31Shall leave you now for a little while. Oh, I'm sure the colonel would be pleased for you to stay
06:36Excuse me. I have much to do downstairs
06:56Do please sit down
06:59Thank you
07:17Dear Colonel Brandon, I must convey to you my most sincere gratitude for... Oh, let us leave that as said
07:25Excuse me. I interrupted rudely
07:29I'm embarrassed to being thanked for what was a great privilege
07:36I only caught a glimpse of you the other night through the door. You're looking so much better
07:43You must be looking forward to going home to Barton. Yes, seems a lifetime ago that we left for London
07:53Take things very quietly when you get back, but promise me that
07:57I'm grateful for your concern, Colonel. Be assured I intend to do little but sit in the garden and read
08:05Gothic novels with their ghosts and ruined castles. Why not?
08:11I play the schoolmaster
08:13You read Cooper and Scott
08:17You've heard of them, have you?
08:20I have studied them a little
08:22I think them
08:24truly wonderful
08:26Indeed, they are great poets
08:28But have you not read the majestic Milton or the demigod Shakespeare?
08:36Fear no more the heat of the Sun
08:39Nor the furious winter's rages
08:42Thou thy worldly task hath done
08:45Home art gone and ta'en thy wages
08:48A treasure house awaits your unlocking, Miss Marianne, of mighty language and great thoughts
08:55But you speak poetically, Colonel
08:59Sorry, I did not mean to. Pray do not apologize
09:04I did not know you were interested in literature
09:08You could not know. I do not believe the subject has ever arisen between us
09:13Until now
09:16Until now
09:20Miss Marianne
09:23May I venture a proposal?
09:26A proposal?
09:29Allow me to select a book for you
09:33From Mr. Palmer's extensive library
09:36It may help pass the time while you remain here
09:39And it would give me a great deal of pleasure
09:42Thank you
09:44Yes, I would be delighted
09:47And perhaps we might discuss it when I visit you at Barton
09:51You are to visit us at Barton?
09:55Do not know
09:57Your mother has invited me
10:02Thank you
10:03Thank you
10:06Thank you, Mrs. Wallace
10:07Thank you, Miss
10:08I wish you a good journey
10:10And you, Mrs. Jennings
10:12What can I say to you?
10:13I have no thanks, my dear
10:16I've enjoyed every moment the two of you spent with me
10:19And I'm very grateful for the pleasure of the company of such lovely young people
10:24Now then, I wish you no more sorrows
10:28And much future happiness
10:30Bless you
10:32We shall see you at Barton Park, I hope
10:34The next time Sir John gives one of his hops
10:37Allow me to escort you to the carriage, Mrs. Dashwood
10:39Oh, thank you, Colonel
10:41Marianne is still rather weak
10:44And Miss Marianne, of course
10:59Your mother's as good a hand at that game as I am
11:07Thank you, Colonel Brandon
11:12I wish you a good journey, ladies
11:14Dear Colonel, thank you for your kindness
11:37Oh, how good it is to see the sun again
11:41After what Shakespeare calls the furious winter's rages
11:44Oh, my little love
11:48We shall always be grateful to the people of Cleveland
11:52Mr. Palmer's library is full of great books
11:55I wonder if he has ever read The Majestic Milton
11:58Or The Little Mermaid
12:00I wonder if he has ever read The Little Mermaid
12:03I wonder if he has ever read The Majestic Milton
12:06Or the demigod Shakespeare
12:08I should think he bought them to make a fine show
12:15I have formed a plan
12:17I shall enter upon a course of serious study
12:20I shall rise at six and divide every moment until dinner
12:23Between music and reading
12:25I dare say Colonel Brandon will advise me as to my reading
12:29Yes, I'm sure he will
12:31What I long for most is to sit down at my own dear Piano Forte
12:38My plan shall keep me busy
12:41We shall have no time for regrets
13:01PIANO PLAYS
13:31PIANO CONTINUES
14:01PIANO CONTINUES
14:03PIANO CONTINUES
14:10SHE SOBS
14:30It's over now
14:34Eleanor, do not grieve. That moment had to come
14:38I'm glad it is over
14:40Is it?
14:42At least we are talking about him
14:44We should have done so before
14:46Do you think we should?
14:48Will it be?
14:50You see, I speak his name calmly
14:55Then there is something I must tell you
14:58He came when you were very ill
15:00To Cleveland?
15:02He came from London like a madman
15:05I promised him that as soon as you were well enough
15:08I would pass his words on to you
15:11From day to day since, I have feared to unsettle your mind too soon
15:16I can talk of it now
15:19You were playing lovely, Miss Marianne
15:22Is it all right for me to polish the table?
15:25Of course you may
15:28Marianne, let us put on our coats and go for a walk
15:33MUSIC PLAYS
15:42He did love you
15:45He implored me to tell you that he was penitent
15:49That you would always be dear to him
15:53And he begged you to forgive him
15:57Did you forgive him?
15:59For my part, yes
16:02And I pitied him, but I did not tell him so
16:06My illness has made me think
16:10I had enough leisure to reflect
16:13But only now do I see that my own want of feelings brought on my sufferings
16:18I always talked about feelings, but they were all for myself
16:23I wronged you and I wronged mother
16:26My weak character almost brought me to the grave
16:28My love...
16:29I brought my illness on myself
16:31By play-acting and pining and starving myself romantically
16:36And being foolish, I almost died of it
16:39And I knew I was doing wrong
16:44As for Willoughby
16:47I don't know if I can soon or ever forget him
16:51My own future conduct must be my proof
16:55Yes, because I hope to earn forgiveness
16:59I can forgive him, Eleanor
17:02I'm doing so for the first time for you
17:05Free
17:14I am sorry for you
17:19But I shall never forget how he made you suffer
17:23Nor his guilty conduct towards Eliza Williams
17:28And it is all very well he is still loving you
17:31Mama, I think enough has been said
17:33But he will always be extravagant and fickle and selfish
17:36However often he repents
17:38And if you had married him...
17:41Dear
17:43I should never have been happy with him
17:46I know
17:48Eleanor told me today all that I wanted to hear
17:50And I am satisfied
17:53And that is all, mother
17:55You need plenty of occupation
17:59Tom?
18:00Hello
18:02I'm glad Colonel Brandon is coming tomorrow
18:07Tom!
18:10I've never seen Exeter so crowded
18:12Not this time of year
18:14I got everything you wanted, Mrs. Dashwood
18:16Sack of provisions, ill-done and unstuffed there
18:18Miss Marianne
18:19Oh, thank you
18:20That is excellent, Tom
18:22Tom?
18:24That's not quite the blue I wanted
18:26Never mind
18:27Oh, my dear
18:28Old Martin talked all the way there and all the way back
18:32He can talk, an old Martin
18:35His Suki's had another baby girl
18:38Oh, we must go and see them
18:40No other news, ma'am
18:42All gossip
18:46Oh
18:48There was one piece of news
18:50Mr. Ferrars is married
18:54Who told you that Mr. Ferrars was married, Tom?
18:57I see Mr. Ferrars myself, ma'am
18:59This morning in Exeter
19:01And his lady too
19:03Miss Lucy Steelers was
19:05Oh
19:06Miss Lucy Steel
19:08Yes, ma'am
19:10They was in a chaise at the door of the new London Inn
19:13I took my hat off
19:15And she knew me
19:16Made me give her best compliments
19:18And Mr. Ferrars as well
19:20To you all
19:21Oh, that is Lucy Steel
19:23But did she tell you they were married, Tom?
19:26Yes, ma'am
19:27I made free to wish her joy
19:30Mr. Ferrars was in the carriage
19:32But he just leaned back and looked out the other window
19:34And, well, he might
19:36They were going to see her folk in Plymouth
19:39Miss Lucy seemed vastly pleased
19:43Well, I
19:45I'll put that letter away
19:53Oh, poor Eleanor
19:57Oh, I cannot bear this
20:02And I too, my child
20:04Through all her troubles
20:06I never thought of you once
20:08We all knew they were to be married
20:11Marianne had all my tenderness
20:15I never thought once that you suffered as much
20:18But unlike her
20:20Were brave
20:22Excuse me
20:24I'd better make sure
20:26That Colonel Brandon's room is ready
20:28I'd better make sure
20:30That Colonel Brandon's room is ready
20:59Do you think Colonel Brandon will like that, Tom?
21:02Oh, I don't know, ma'am
21:04They're only from the hedgerow
21:06Oh
21:07They're pretty, though
21:14Oh
21:15It's all right, Tom
21:17Girls
21:18Colonel Brandon is here
21:29Mrs. Dashwood
21:31Edward
21:33I've come
21:35To see you all
21:37I trust I've not called at an inconvenient time
21:40Oh, no
21:41No, Edward
21:42Come in
21:43Thank you
21:46Thank you, Susan
21:48Thank you, Susan
21:58Well, Edward
22:00I must wish you joy
22:02Joy?
22:03Miss Marianne
22:05Eleanor
22:06Mr. Ferris
22:14Is Mrs. Ferris still in Exeter?
22:17Or has she gone on a loan to Plymouth?
22:20Plymouth?
22:21My mother is in London
22:23No, I was not speaking of your mother
22:26But of Mrs. Edward Ferris
22:29Mrs...
22:32Perhaps you mean my brother
22:35You mean Mrs. Robert Ferris
22:37Mrs. Robert Ferris?
22:40You may not have heard
22:41My brother Robert is lately married to Miss Lucy Steele
22:44Oh, Lucy
22:46And Robert
22:47Yes, they...
22:49They were married a week ago
22:51And are on their way to Plymouth
23:13I am a joke to you
23:15And an offence to her
23:17I have no right to come
23:19Oh, Edward
23:26Edward, where are you going?
23:28Far enough not to cause her more pain
23:30Pain? Oh
23:33Go to her, Edward
23:34She's just out of her wits, that's all
23:38And so are you
23:39Go on
23:45Go on
24:07Lucy took him for his money
24:09My mother's settlement on him cannot be revoked
24:13And a fitting pair they make
24:15I was a free man
24:17I rode down here to marry you
24:20And marched in upon you like a clumsy brute
24:23No
24:25Even now that I am asking for your hand
24:28Are you?
24:30Yes
24:32Blundering again
24:34I love you
24:37Oh, Eleanor
24:40But you'll have to ask my mother's consent more gracefully
24:44Oh, yes
24:46Come
25:08Colonel
25:11Oh, I'm so happy to welcome you
25:13And so am I
25:15And I to be here
25:20Before I forget, I was given Mrs. Jennings and Mrs. Palmer's kindest regards
25:25Oh
25:35Miss Marianne, I hope you will not think I have been too forward
25:40But I have brought you a gift
25:42That lovely box
25:44And its contents
25:45Please open it
25:49Whatever can it be?
25:55Oh, books
25:57Oh, thank you, Colonel
25:59It is only a very modest treasure chest
26:03The decline and fall of the Roman Empire
26:06Will it not be too difficult for me?
26:08Oh, by no means
26:10You may find it
26:12Even more exciting than the mysteries of Udolpho
26:17But I shall have hundreds of questions to ask you
26:21My children
26:42Oh
27:12Oh
