:30:01
How do you like
my ribbons for your ball?
:30:04
- Very beautiful.
- She is. Look, she's blooming.
:30:08
Oh, Lydia.
:30:10
Be sure to invite Mr Wickham.
He is a credit to his profession.
:30:13
You can't invite people
to other people's balls.
:30:17
Of course, you must come, Mr Wickham.
:30:19
If you'll excuse me,
ladies, enjoy the day.
:30:26
Do you plan to go
to the Netherfield ball, Mr Wickham?
:30:29
Perhaps. How long
has Mr Darcy been a guest there?
:30:35
About a month.
:30:37
Forgive me, but are you
acquainted with him, with Mr Darcy?
:30:42
Indeed, I've been connected
with his family since infancy.
:30:47
You may well be surprised,
given our cold greeting this afternoon.
:30:54
I hope your plans in favour
of Meryton will not be affected
:30:57
- by your relations with the gentleman.
- It is not for me to be driven away.
:31:01
If he wishes to avoid seeing me,
he must go, not I.
:31:06
I must ask, what is the manner
of your disapproval of Mr Darcy?
:31:14
My father managed his estate.
:31:17
We grew up together, Darcy and I.
:31:20
His father treated me like a second son,
loved me like a son.
:31:26
We were both with him the day he died.
:31:31
With his last breath,
:31:33
his father bequeathed me
the rectory in his estate.
:31:36
He knew I had my heart set
on joining the Church.
:31:39
But Darcy ignored his wishes
and gave the living to another man.
:31:43
- But why?
- Jealousy.
:31:47
His father...
:31:50
Well, he loved me better
and Darcy couldn't stand it.
:31:54
- How cruel.
- So now I'm a poor foot-soldier.
:31:57
Too lowly even to be noticed.
