Elinor is now as desolate as Marianne, because the secret of Edward's engagement is out at last, and he intends to stand by it.

00:00You
00:30You
00:47Mrs. Jennings tells me why to leave for home tomorrow. Yes
00:52She's taking mrs. Palmer and baby to their home at Cleveland. We should rest there dare say before going home to Barton
00:59most wise
01:00Your sister is looking disturbingly frigid
01:07I heard this morning
01:09Of an injustice which your friend. Mr. Edward Ferrars has suffered at the hand of his family
01:15He is entirely cast off by them merely for acting honorably towards a perfectly decent young woman. Am I rightly informed? Yes
01:22the cruelty
01:25Foolish cruelty so punishing a young couple that are genuinely attached is terrible. I agree.
01:33I understand that Mr. Ferrars wishes to take holy orders. That is true
01:39The living of Delaford which is of course in my gift is vacant. I would like him to have it
01:48It is but a poor living
01:50No more than 200 pounds a year though. I believe capable of improvement
01:55And the rectory is but a small one
01:58It may not be easy for a young couple, but it would be a roof over their heads
02:04And it is theirs. Colonel Brandon. I'm delighted for them and with you for this generosity. You see
02:12I would like you to tell him. Oh, I could not
02:19Why not?
02:20You are his friend
02:22Surely it is a task you could best perform yourself.
02:26I would rather not.
02:29I have only met him a few times
02:33For me it might seem a gratuitous act of charity
02:37Offensive to him. No
02:40Please miss Eleanor
02:42Be his friend of mine
02:44Speak for me.
02:46I do not even know where he is.
02:49I have his address. He's in London
02:53I would so much rather this came from you.
02:57Do this for me before you leave
02:59I
03:20I'm so relieved that my note reached you in time. I would not have intruded upon you had you not written to summon me. I
03:28I hope you don't mind being shown in here. The others are in the drawing room
03:35You must
03:37Know what has happened. I
03:40Had not intended to trouble you. It's never a trouble to see you
03:45But it is painful to stand before you at this of all times
03:51There is a matter of which I had intended to write you at length
03:57But when I tried it seemed easier to talk so I confined myself to asking you here
04:06Colonel Brandon was here today
04:08He has desired me to say that as soon as you take orders, he has great pleasure in offering you the living of Delaford
04:15Colonel Brandon
04:17But I hardly know him
04:20He means it as a token of his concern at the cruel situation in which the unpardonable conduct of your family has placed you
04:28Colonel Brandon offer me a living
04:32Can it be possible
04:35The unkindness of your relations has made you think that there is no friendship. No, I know I have yours I
04:43I
04:47You know, I have no orator but you are wrong it with I
04:53Have no hand in it. You owe it entirely to Colonel Brandon's belief in your own merit. You must have spoken for me
05:02Let alone that it was vacant upon my word you owe nothing to any plea of mine
05:08Then
05:11Colonel Brandon is a wonderful man
05:15You'll find him silver he will be your close neighbor
05:20By the way, I'd better tell you he warned me that the living is a poor one
05:26It is the saving of me
05:30Colonel Brandon lodges in St. James Street, I think
05:34at number 24 I
05:37Must hurry to thank him
05:43Edward we are leaving tomorrow tomorrow. We're going home to Barton
05:53Then it must be goodbye for the present
06:00Eleanor
06:02If it were
06:03Consistent with honor for me to speak

13:33For the love of God, is there nothing I can do? What can a man do?
13:39So many of these cases are fatal

15:29Hmm
15:30Wrong here bad the lungs are not yet reached but there may be at any moment then
15:42The patient is seriously undernourished
15:47She has eaten no more than a sparrow does for this past six weeks and not for want of my begging her sir
15:54Her health was already falling off. She was in a sad state an affair of the heart
16:00decline most serious
16:03There is no vital force left. It would be worse than useless to bleed or purge. That was exactly my conclusion. Mr.
16:10I
16:11Concur with mr. Harris's treatment. There's nothing more to be done. Nothing, but mr.
16:16Nothing, but to await the dictates of Providence. I

16:40Good day mrs. Jennings

17:14She's burning away
17:16You poor mother what she must be suffering
17:22Colonel promised he would be here by 10 o'clock. I'm afraid it'll come too late
17:27Listen
17:37She's going
17:43There is less heat
17:49Still beats
17:52It is becoming a little stronger
17:57Oh
18:04Breathing is light but steady
18:12Mrs. Jennings, I believe the crisis has passed
18:16She is asleep. Thank God she is
18:20But I fear you may break your heart with false hope
18:26I know that deceitful lull before the end
18:39Fever has almost gone and her breathing is good
18:46Oh, Elia, I do believe
18:52It is the sleep that heal
18:55My darling sleep sweetly the Lord be praised
19:01Oh
19:04I'm so relieved. It's quite turned my stomach. I

19:16You go and rest
19:19Thank you
19:21I thought we're born you go. Are you sure? I will stay with her until mother comes. It is only two hours
19:28all right, I
19:33Shall sleep light-hearted tonight. Good night, my loves
19:48I
20:18I
20:45Mr. Willoughby
20:48Mr.
20:51Let me speak with your sister
20:53You have no business here. I
20:56treat you
20:58Give me but a few moments with her. My sister is ill
21:02She's ill
21:03She is out of danger, but only now out of danger. God be thanked
21:08Then I beg you to hear me. Give me about ten minutes less if you will then be quick. I have no time to lose
21:15Thank you
21:19Your
21:21Sister is out of danger. What was it? What happened? Do you please wait no more time?
21:27Miss Dashwood, do you think me most a knave or a fool? I
21:31Will not listen to this kindly come here when you're more in a fit state. Oh, I read your thoughts
21:37Yes, I'm very drunk one pint of porter at Marlborough was enough to over set me
21:41No, I left London and eight o'clock this morning. I have not stopped but for a 10-minute luncheon
21:47Mr. Willoughby
21:50After what has passed this requires an explanation. I came to see
21:55Your sister I
21:57Came to offer some kind of explanation an apology for the past and you are prepared to address me instead. Yes
22:06If I can make you hate me one degree less than you do now. I
22:11Came to convince you that although I have always been a blockhead
22:14I have not always been a rascal and what purpose can this avowal serve now to obtain forgiveness from your sister?
22:24I'm listening
22:26When I first became intimate in your family, I thought only of passing my time pleasantly at Bath.
22:35Your sister's lovely person and ways could not but please me
22:40But at first I confess I had no design of returning her affection. No, I insist on you hearing all I
22:47Was loaded with debt. I
22:49depended on my aunt
22:52What a fool I was
22:55Could have been poor with Maria and unhappy
22:59You did at one time believe yourself a catch to her
23:04The happiest hours of my life were those I spent with her
23:10My intentions were honorable my feelings blameless. I was determined to avow myself openly to her
23:20But then a discovery took place
23:23If you wish to tell me that your aunt sent you away to prevent the match, I guess that long ago
23:30Do you also know that I was called to London by the disastrous turn of an earlier
23:37Profligate connection. I know the name of Eliza Williams
23:47How do you explain where your guilt in that affair is beyond my understanding
23:51I do not justify myself, but I cannot leave you to suppose that because I injured the girl. She was inapproachable
23:58Excuse your cruelty by her weakness. Please believe me
24:01I saw my only way out in a match with a lady of fortune that was offered to me
24:06My affection for Marianne and hers for me
24:09could not
24:11outweigh
24:12my dread of poverty
24:20My misery on that day I left Barton
24:25Calls for no sympathy if you felt it
24:31True
24:34And do you know what happened at that dreadful party in London when your sister appealed to me?
24:38I was there too. I wish to die that night. But then you sent her that letter
24:44Your vile cruel letter. Shall I quote it to you? My wife's letter
24:50wife's
24:52It was in your handwriting. I had only the credit of copying what she dictated in the shame of signing
25:04Nothing excuses me
25:11I've confessed my guilt
25:15When your sister is recovered will you relate to her what I have told you?
25:23Will you tell her of my misery and my penitence that my present life is my punishment
25:31That my heart has never been inconstant to her
25:42That she is dearer to me than ever
25:48And that I ask her forgiveness
25:53You must leave that decision to me
25:56I
25:58Was near you staying here
26:02Mr. Willoughby, why did you come here? I could bear it no longer
26:13God bless you
26:25You
26:55You
27:25You
