Marianne's heart is doubly broken by a callous rejection from Willoughby. Elinor is to meet Edward's mother, who is unaware of his engagement to Lucy Steele.

00:00You
00:30You
00:48My grandson Harry is the same age as your son lady Middleton
00:53Yes, I hear he's only two weeks younger than my William and yet my boy is half a head taller
00:59Come my dear my William is distinctly the taller
01:03My grandson Harry is the taller
01:05Would you not say that they are both splendid boys and of an equal height quite equal. I'm sure
01:18Let them fight it out a licking would do my well good. Oh, what do you say? Mr. Ashwood?
01:25I
01:26Fear I cannot agree sir John William is a bigger boy. I'm sure of that. I will not be contradicted
01:33Particularly by young ladies of your age. I beg your pardon mrs. Ferris, please. Excuse me
01:49We must bring the boys together and see
01:54I
01:59Am sure my sister spoke without thinking then she had better learn to think
02:04That sister of hers does not open her mouth
02:14The shop man took two infernal hours to find me that
02:18Goodness gracious. Mr. Ferris two hours for a toothpick case
02:22Two devilish hours turned over his whole stock the idiot before he found one that suited me. It is charming
02:30You show exquisite taste. Yes, so people tell me
02:33I said to that man if you don't know your own stock
02:36You can't expect customers and I shall tell the fellows so at the club. Oh, that is the only way to talk to shopman
02:41Mr. Ferris. Oh, he fawned upon me after that. Miss Steele but miss Lucy
02:46Come along
02:52Sit down by me
02:56Lady Middleton tells me that you're both very fond of children. Oh, we adore them ma'am. We simply love them mrs. Ferris. Most worthy
03:04Most worthy. Lady Middleton assured me that you were indeed
03:08Most worthy young ladies. You may one day
03:12be of use to my daughter
03:14with young Harry
03:16We should love that
03:18Consider us at her service and yours. Thank you. You may go
03:23Thank you ma'am. Won't you come and sit by me?
03:36Admirable is it not colonel?
03:38Most admirable. We brought it up with us from Norland. A fine piece of work. It was embroidered for us by my sister
03:45Your sister?
03:47By Eleanor. Ah
03:49Miss Dashwood
03:50Very fine. She is most accomplished. She has all the skills that a lady requires
03:57Indeed, I would trust her to maintain the largest establishment
04:01Splendidly. What is that you're looking at?
04:05A fire screen ma'am
04:07Miss Dashwood worked it for us at Norland. Now look at that. Isn't it beautiful?
04:15Do you not think it pretty mama?
04:18Oh
04:20Middling so.
04:22Oh, I thought it pretty
04:25But I confess it does not compare with Miss Morton's work ma'am. Indeed. It does not.
04:30Miss Morton does everything superbly
04:33This is a strange sort of praise for my sister. Oh
04:37So you found your tongue. Have you young lady? We were talking of Eleanor's work. What is Miss Morton to us?
04:43Who is this Miss Morton?
04:46Miss Morton is Lord Morton's daughter
04:58I have done wonders with the estate since you last came ma'am. I have enclosed Norland Common
05:05Dear dear Eleanor
05:07Don't mind them
05:09Don't let them make you unhappy. I'm not unhappy. That old woman has ignored you all these years.
05:15Shh. Let her not get the better of us. But she is Edward's mother.
05:42My dear friend
05:46I come to talk to you of my happiness
05:50On what am I to congratulate you Miss Lucy? Last night, of course
05:55Could there be anything so flattering as Mrs. Ferrer's way of treating me? So exceedingly affable as she was
06:02Now was it not so?
06:04You saw
06:05Was you not quite struck with it?
06:09She was certainly very civil with you. Civil?
06:12Did you see nothing but only civility?
06:15I saw a vast ignore
06:18such kindness
06:20Sitting me next to her like that
06:23If you found it flattering, I'm glad
06:26Come my dear and that I have a much more important reason to be happy
06:31Undoubtedly, if she had known of your engagement, nothing could have been more significant. I guessed you would say so
06:37Do believe me I speak without prejudice. Really?
06:40Really
06:41But there was no reason in the world why she should seem to like me if she did not and her liking me is everything
06:50I am sure it will all end well. Yes, I am and no difficulties at all to what I used to think. I hope you're right
06:58Mrs. Ferrer's is a charming woman
07:04Oh, you are ill Miss Dashwood. You don't look at all well
07:10I assure you I was never in better health
07:13Oh, I am glad of it with all my heart, but really
07:17You look so odd for a moment
07:21Did I say something
07:24I should be so sorry if I had
07:27Your comfort has been the greatest thing in the world to me. Heaven knows what I should have done without your friendship
07:35I have certainly learned much from our acquaintance
07:38Your regard has been the greatest comfort I have next to Edward's love for me
07:47Poor Edward, but I shall see him now as often as I want to
07:52Oh, you are pale Miss Dashwood. No, still
07:57You shall see Mr. Ferrer as often because Mrs. John has taken a fancy to me as well
08:02Mrs. John Dashwood? Your brother's a wife
08:05She has asked Anna and I to stay with her at Harley Street for as long as I like
08:12I am to look after her little Harry as I promised Mrs. Ferrer's and as Edward is bound to visit
08:20Do you not think love will have its way?
08:24Whether is love it sometimes will have its way
08:26Whether is love it sometimes will have its way
08:31With Mrs. Ferrer's on my side
08:34Of course if she had only made me at full will not never have to look me in the face, but to tell me off
08:40Well, I should have given it up with Edward. I should
08:44For where she does dislike
08:46I know it can't be overcome
08:51Mr. Edward Ferrer's
08:54Edward
08:56Miss Eleanor
08:58Edward
09:04I believe you know Miss Lucy through her uncle at Plymouth
09:08Indeed. Yes
09:10I'm happy to see you and I
09:14And I to be able to pay this call
09:18Please sit down. Thank you
09:24Thank you
09:28We have been mrs. Jennings guests these last four weeks
09:33Yes, I'm sorry I have not called before now
09:41We hear from mother almost daily she's well
09:45Very glad to hear that
09:46You you will of course send her my kind wishes. I trust you well
09:51Thank you. Yes
09:54Mother will be pleased to learn that you have called well
09:59I am sorry to say that Marianne has been in poor health
10:04Is it serious?
10:05How is she?
10:07It's nothing constitutional. She's on the mend
10:10I hope with all my heart she is soon well
10:15But you must see her pray miss dashwood if she's lying down
10:20Mm-hmm. She will never forgive me if I let Edward go without seeing her, please. Excuse me
10:39How lucky that you should find me here Edward
10:43I wager that was a surprise
10:46Yes
10:48I met miss dashwood at Barton Park and since then we've become well acquainted
10:56She's looking greatly out of sorts I see a good deal of her and there's a great falling off
11:04Some ladies do age quickly
11:09Edward
11:12You see me so rarely you write so rarely
11:18Your letters are so short and formal
11:22Have you nothing to say to your Lucy?
11:32Forgive me my intrude
11:39I have sent a servant for Marianne. Tell me what have you been doing with yourself?
11:45Edward
11:48Oh dear Edward. Miss Marianne. This is a moment of great happiness
11:55It almost makes amends for everything
11:59I am sorry to hear you've been unwell. Oh, don't think about me. Eleanor is well you see. That must be enough for both of us
12:10Do you like London?
12:13I hate London
12:16I expect it
12:18Oh, it does not matter what I expected or what has happened
12:22We must only talk of good things now. Marianne
12:26You will over excite yourself. No
12:29Edward the sight of you is the best thing that has happened in London
12:35Tell me Edward you you are well. Yes
12:38Yes
12:40You have not changed have you?
12:44I
12:47Miss Marianne you you do look thin
12:50Eleanor
12:52When we go back to Barton you must ask Edward to take care of us. It will be in a week or two Edward
12:58You see Miss Marianne. I'm sure you will not be very unwilling to accept the charge
13:03I am not
13:04always master of my movements
13:08We had such an awful time at Fanny's last night. It was wretchedly dull
13:15I wish you had been there
13:18But why did you not come? I was otherwise engaged. Engaged?
13:24What was that when such friends were to be met?
13:28Perhaps Miss Marianne
13:30You think that young men that don't have a mind to keep their engagements don't stand by them great or small
13:37Ah, but you do not know Edward miss dear
13:41I do not know him any. I really believe he has the most delicate conscience in the world, please
13:47He is the most scrupulous man I have ever known in keeping to an engagement. Oh, I trust with all my heart that is so
13:56Am I justified Edward?
14:00I uh, I really must go
14:03So soon
14:04Dear Edward, this must not be
14:07Sit down. Lucy cannot stay much longer. Yes, we must go Edward. I'm expected at Harley Street
14:15You are going to John Dashwood's? To your own sisters in fact. Anne and me are staying there and you shall take me
14:24Are you ready Edward?
14:26Yes
14:32I bid you ladies good day and wish you as much happiness
14:37As myself. Good day miss dear
14:48Goodbye Edward
14:56Goodbye
15:02What has happened
15:05Why does she call him Edward? Why did he go with her? He knew her long before he knew us
15:16I will not descend to be tricked. Have you nothing to tell me Eleanor?
15:22I can only ask you to be kind
15:25And not to speak to me of Edward
15:45It is announced that the lady of Henry Palmer Esquire has been safely delivered of a son
15:51Mrs. Jennings a grandmother
15:54She will be forever prating of the child's glories
16:00I shall call on Charlotte Palmer
16:03I shall take you and your sister
16:06Mrs. Dashwood you were so kind to us. One is kind to those who appear deserving of it. Oh, so I always say
16:12And when mrs. Ferris showed such attention to us mrs. Dashwood, I was overwhelmed
16:17She commended you was likely to care for my little Harry. Oh, and so I hope we have to your satisfaction mrs. Dashwood
16:24We both adore children, especially lucy. So I have noticed what a mother she would make
16:30What a wife
16:33Mrs. Ferris showed special favor to lucy. Did she not mrs. Ferris is an acute judge of people
16:38Oh, she is a very great lady mrs. Dashwood. You can imagine how proud I was when she called lucy to her side
16:45I am glad you show a proper feeling. Oh, I wondered what's in her mind. What does she know?
16:51No, or is this merely a sign of a favorable disposition an omen? An omen of what? What are you talking about girl?
16:58Well, if Edward has to break it to her and she already likes my lucy. Break it, joker
17:03Break it
17:05What is this? Well, come on up with it
17:08Lord, I thought you was in the secret or guessed. In fact, you insisted she did to stay
17:15Lucy said I must never tell but I thought you had all given it your approval. Give what?
17:21Approve what? Who are you to refer to my brother by his christian name?
17:26Secret
17:28What secret? Edward's engagement to lucy these last four years
17:44Ah
17:50Ah
18:16Those two servants crawling into our house
18:20Ah, don't stand there gaping. Go for a doctor
18:24Fanny, fanny, fanny, my dear love, my dear love, calm yourself, calm yourself and tell me what what has happened?
18:33Ah
18:44He heard all the story well the house was still in an uproar the carriage was at the door
18:49Miss lucy was on a page but hardly fit to stand and I'm almost as bad. Never mind them. It is a story about it
18:56And wasn't it remarkable that dr. Donovan came straight onto my charlotte's afterwards?
19:01She was in a fine fuss about the baby. It was pimples all over. I said lord, my dear
19:07It's nothing but the red gum, but she wouldn't listen and then dr
19:10Donovan arrived and he said it was the red gum and she was easy
19:14Edward can't be engaged to that girl
19:17He can't oh, it's all true my dear dr
19:20Donovan happened to mention that he'd been at the dashwoods and they being your family naturally. I got the whole tale out of you
19:27poor lucy
19:29How can you talk like that?
19:32Poor lucy indeed
19:37How long have you known this elena four months did he write to you
19:43Lucy told me that they were engaged when she was at barton park
19:49You have known this for four months
19:53All the time I was plaguing you with my miseries. This was on your heart
19:57Do not blame yourself for being unhappy. You had good cause. I reproached you for being happy
20:05I could not tell you
20:07Why not?
20:09Why not elena your own sister what stopped you
20:15I promised her she bound me to absolute secrecy
20:21I wanted so many times to tell you and mother
20:24But you seemed to go on loving him
20:27You did you did go on loving him, didn't you?
20:31Yes, but you have been as much deceived by him as I have by willoughby
20:35Lucy
20:36I acquit edward of all this conduct
20:41I wish him very happy
20:44He may regret a promise made so young but lucy does not want sense and I pray she may be a good wife
20:52Oh, if that is what you feel
20:56What I feel is another matter
21:01I have suffered marianne
21:04All miseries of love and none of its joys
21:08Oh elena
21:10Oh darling how barbarous I've been to you
21:14You've made me hate myself forever
21:17You have been my only comfort
21:22Do you think this does not comfort me
21:25no
21:26Be a good girl
21:27Promise me you will never speak to anybody of this affair with the least bitterness
21:31I would have that woman whipped through the streets
21:34Even if you meet lucy you must hide your dislike
21:38Promise me
21:54Thank you
22:02You
22:08Brother john asks us to do him the honor of calling upon him at once. He's underlined the word at once
22:20Ah, you are here at last
22:23Why was your message to us so urgent
22:26Ladies you are dashwoods. You are family. You must know what has been decided
22:32Concerning edward. What has been decided concerning edward?
22:45We sent for him
22:48immediately
22:51All that mrs. Ferrars could say to make him put an end to this
22:55Engagement all my arguments all fanny's entreaties
23:00Were of no avail
23:02We reminded him that miss morton
23:05Is ready and willing
23:1130 000 pounds
23:13I
23:15I never thought him so stubborn and unfeeling what mrs. Ferrars suffered
23:20Is not to be described
23:22He was engaged. He said he would stand by it and we could not make him budge
23:28We have no influence as that is in your mind
23:33The upshot is
23:36That she has cut off edward completely without a penny
23:41gracious heavens
23:42Could this be possible?
23:44You may well wonder marianne at the man who still refused to give up his engagement after such a threat
23:52And what is more mrs. Ferrars
23:55Is to settle her entire estate upon robert
24:02Her lawyer is with her now
24:04And what is this to do with us?
24:06Why eleanor you are dashwoods
24:09It is mrs. Ferrars wish
24:11Nay her command that henceforth edward shall be as a stranger to us all we we we finish with him
24:18We count him dead mrs. Ferrars will not help him whatever his plight and nor must we
24:25Edward has been my friend my mother's friend and my sister's friend
24:29I pity his situation, but I glory in his integrity. Oh bravo
24:34And our friend he will remain
24:38Eleanor
24:41It is mrs. Ferrars
24:47It is fanny
24:55What is a man to do
24:58In two days, thank goodness
25:00Marianne and I end our stay in london
25:04We thank you for your past hospitality
25:06But our departure will no doubt save you any further embarrassment
25:10Marianne
25:14Marianne
25:17We are brother and sisters now sure
25:31Perhaps one day we shall see you at northern
25:35that is if you happen to be
25:37Passing that way
26:07So
26:37You
