me he would have been content

He would have had a wife he loved.

but no money, -

- and might have learned to rank

his Pocketbook above his heart.

If his regrets are half as painful

as mine, he will suffer enough.

Do you compare

your conduct with his?

I compare it to what it

ought to have been. With yours.

I fetched those beef fillets. Ma'am.

Beef is less expensive in Exeter.

Anyway, it's for Marianne.

- Was Exeter crowded?

- It was. Ma'am.

Miss Pothington

has had another stroke.

And Miss Murden has turned away

Coles for his drunkenness.

And Mr. Ferrars is married.

but of course you know that.

Who told you he was married?

I saw Mrs. Ferrars myself. She and

Mr. Ferrars stopped at the inn.

I saw it was Miss Steele.

so I took off my hat.

She inquired after all of you,

especially Miss Dashwood.

She bade me give their compliments.

They're sending a piece of the cake.

- Did Mrs. Ferrars seem well?

- She said she was vastly contented.

As she was always an affable lady,

I made free to wish her joy.

Thank you, Thomas.

- What is it. Thomas!

- I'm not sure, but it's heavy.

"It is small enough for the parlour.

When I follow shortly, I expect -

- that you've learnt the enclosed.

Your friend, Christopher Brandon."

It fits perfectly.

Here you are, Miss Marianne.

Fetch some tea.

- He must like you very much.

- It's for all of us.

Here is Col. Brandon.

- I do not think it is the colonel.

- He said he would arrive today.

Edward!

It is Edward!

Calm.

We must be calm.

Mr. Ferrars for you, ma'am.

Edward ...

What a pleasure to see you.

- I trust I find you all well

- Thank you. We are all very well.

We've been enjoying fine weather ...

Well. we have .

I'm glad to hear it.

The roads were very dry.

I wish you great joy, Edward.

I hope

you have left Mrs. Ferrars well.

Tolerably ... Thank you.

Is Mrs. Ferrars at the new Parish?

No ... my mother is in town.

I meant Mrs. Edward Ferrars.

You've not heard?

I think you mean my brother.

Mrs. Robert Ferrars.

- Mrs. Robert Ferrars?

- Yes.

I received a letter

from Miss Steele. -

- or Mrs. Ferrars, I should say,

communicating to me -

- the transfer of her affections

to my brother Robert.

It seems they were much

thrown together in London.

In view of my new circumstances

I felt it only right -

- that she be released

from our engagement.

At any rate, they were married

last week in Plymouth.

Then you ...

... are not married?

No.

Elinor ...

I met Lucy when I was very young.

Had I had a profession, I would not

have felt such an idle inclination.

At Norland, I convinced myself that

you felt only friendship for me, -

- and that it was my heart alone

that I was risking.

I have come with no expectations,

only to express, now I am able, -

- that my heart is,

and always will be ...

... yours.

- He's sitting next to her.

- What else?

Tell us!

He's kneeling down!
