You...have such a penetrating countenance.
Well, sometimes I'm more anxious
to be penetrating than at others.
Oh, forgive my demeanour. I have thought
of you often since our first meeting.
Thinking of me often
and not liking to look at me
- augurs well.
- For what?
Why, our great friendship, of course.
Tell me. Do you like the poetry of Byron?
Oh, yes. Perhaps too well.
Then already we have something in common.
Get your hot pies here!
I hope you will accept this
as a token of affection from a friend.
Byron's Don Juan.
Oh, Miss Lister, thank you!
- I've written in it.
- Get your hot pies!
''To fair Callista.''
What does it mean?
It derives from the Greek
for ''most beautiful''.
Oh, you have a romantic nature.
I admire that.
I find a slight tincture of romance
in a character
makes one more agreeable, don't you think?
Oh, yes, most definitely.
Though with your manners and kind attentions,
I can't help wishing you were a gent.
Wish away.
Isn't that Miss Lister?
We rarely see you these days, Miss Lister.
I am devoting myself to my studies.
Greek and Latin, mostly.
To what purpose?
Well, my only pleasure
is employing myself profitably.
Only pleasure?
It seems you make an exception
for Miss Browne.
Ah, well, I walk with her occasionally.
She's interesting,
and gentle with her manners.
I understand her father's in trade.
How did you come to know such a girl?.
We scraped an acquaintance at church.
Can you name your sentiment
for her, Miss Lister?
Perfect esteem.
You're an odd one, Anne.
I always tell people you're natural,
the most natural person I know.
But that Nature was in an odd freak
when it made you.
That is fair.
I always consult my...inclination.
I find cultivating
a complimentary strain with ladies
makes life more agreeable to us all.
Er, oh... Why, Mrs Rawson,
I was meaning to say how the...
the curl of your hair today, it's...
well, it's most complimentary to your face.
Oh...
Anne?
Oh!
A letter for me?
From Miss Norcliffe, I believe.
Why do you persist
in such manly pursuits, Anne?
Pistol is not becoming to a lady.
- Tib's coming to visit.
- Oh. Right.
Give... Give me that.
Only if you name your sentiment
for me, Anne.
Give it to me, Tib, or you can leave now.
Oh, don't get in a pother.
I couldn't understand half of it.
You obviously put the interesting bits in code.
Bits about Mariana.
She's of no concern to me.
So you don't want to know
I saw her sisters last week in York?
And?
All goes swimmingly.
Apparently Mariana's quite taken to Cheshire
and her big house
and her choice of carriages
and all the finery money can buy.
Then let her stay there.
- Has she written?
