:20:00
Stop making such a fuss.
:20:03
- Why didn't she ask me as well?
- Because I'm better company.
:20:07
- What's the matter?
- I've just as much right.
:20:09
Let's all go.
:20:12
Lydia's been invited to Brighton
with the Forsters.
:20:15
Sea-bathing would set me up nicely.
:20:17
I shall dine with the officers
every night.
:20:19
Papa, don't let her go.
:20:21
Lydia will never be easy until she's
exposed herself in some public place.
:20:26
And we could never expect her
to do it with so little inconvenience.
:20:30
If you do not check her,
:20:33
she'll be fixed as the silliest flirt
who ever made her family ridiculous.
:20:37
And Kitty will follow, as always.
:20:39
Lizzie, we shall have no peace
until she goes.
:20:44
Is that really all you care about?
:20:47
Colonel Forster is a sensible man.
:20:51
He will keep her
out of any real mischief.
:20:54
And she's too poor
to be an object of prey to anyone.
:20:57
It's dangerous.
:20:58
I am certain the officers will find
women better worth their while.
:21:04
Let us hope, in fact,
that her stay in Brighton
:21:07
will teach her her own insignificance.
:21:12
At any rate,
she can hardly grow any worse.
:21:15
If she does, we'd be obliged to
lock her up for the rest of her life.
:21:28
Lizzie, you're welcome to accompany us.
:21:31
The Peak District is not Brighton.
:21:33
Officers are thin on the ground
which may influence your decision.
:21:36
Come to the Peak District with us,
Lizzie, and get some fresh air.
:21:41
The glories of nature. What are men
compared to rocks and mountains?
:21:44
Men are either eaten up
with arrogance or stupidity.
:21:47
If they are amiable,
they have no minds of their own.
:21:51
Take care, my love.
That savours strongly of bitterness.
