FINAL SCRIPT CHARLOTTE Promise you will visit again this time next year. ELIZABETH I promise. Thank you both for your hospitality. It has been wonderful seeing you. (SCENE CHANGE #2-3) SCENE 9 - PARLOR - LONGBOURN – Afternoon – Thursday, May 21, 1812 MR. HILL Mr. and Mrs. Bennet have been in frequent discussion about Miss Lydia’s scheme for the family to go to Brighton this summer to visit the Foresters and the regiment. Lydia has a great friend in Mrs. Forester; whether Mrs. Forester is a great influence has yet to be seen. But it is the last two weeks of the regiments stay in Meryton and I have heard Miss Lydia often exclaim that her heart will break.Mr. Bennet will rejoice to have Miss Elizabeth and Miss Jane home. LYDIA Now I have got some news for you. What do you think? It is excellent news—capital news—and about a certain person we all like! There is no danger of Wickham's marrying Mary King. There's for you! She is gone down to her uncle at Liverpool: gone to stay. Wickham is safe. KITTY She is a great fool for going away, if she liked him. JANE But I hope there is no strong attachment on either side. LYDIA I am sure there is not on his. I will answer for it he never cared three straws about her—who could about such a nasty little freckled thing? I was in great hopes that one of you would have got a husband before you came back. Jane will be quite an old maid soon, I declare. She is almost three-and-twenty! Lord, how ashamed I should be of not being married before threeandtwenty! My aunt Phillips wants you so to get husbands, you can't think. She says Lizzy had better have taken Mr. Collins; but I do not think there would have been any fun in it. Lord, how I should like to be married before any of you; and then I would chaperon you about to all the balls. MARY Kitty and Lydia have been idle and vain. While there is an officer in Meryton, they will flirt with him, and while there is an officer within a walk of Longbourn, they will go after him. MRS. BENNET Well, Lizzy, so the Collins’ live very comfortable, do they? And what sort of table do they keep? Charlotte is an excellent manager, I dare say. If she is half as sharp as her mother. There is nothing extravagant in her housekeeping, I dare say. ELIZABETH No, nothing at all. MRS. BENNET Yes, yes. They will take care not to outrun their income. They will never be distressed for money. And so, I suppose, they often talk of having Longbourn when your father is dead. If one could but go to Brighton for the summer. LYDIA Oh, if one could but go to Brighton! But papa is so disagreeable. (Mrs. Hill brings in a letter to Lydia.) MRS. BENNET A little sea bathing would set me up forever. KITTY 42
FINAL SCRIPT And my Aunt Phillips is sure it would do me a great deal of good. MRS. BENNET Well, Lizzy, what is your opinion now of this sad business of Jane's? For my part, I am determined never to speak of it again to anybody. There is no talk of his coming to Netherfield again in the summer; and I have inquired of everybody, too, who is likely to know. ELIZABETH I do not believe he will ever live at Netherfield any more. MRS. BENNET Well, my comfort is, I am sure Jane will die of a broken heart; and then he will be sorry for what he has done. MR. BENNET (Entering.) I am glad you are come back, Lizzy. LYDIA Mother! Mother! Mrs. Forester has invited to take me to Brighton with them. KITTY I cannot see why Mrs. Forster should not ask me as well as Lydia. Though I am not her particular friend. I have just as much right to be asked as she has, and more too, for I am two years older. MARY Father, I would advise against this. I feel the necessity to point out all the improprieties of Lydia's general behavior; she can derive little advantage from the friendship of such a woman as Mrs. Forster. In all probability Lydia will be more imprudent with such a companion at Brighton, where the temptations must be greater than here at home. MR. BENNET Lydia will never be easy until she has exposed herself in some public place or other, and we can never expect her to do it with so little expense or inconvenience to her family as under the present circumstances. ELIZABETH If you are aware of the very great disadvantage to us all which must arise from the public notice of Lydia's unguarded and imprudent manner—nay, which has already arisen from it, why do you not judge differently in the affair? MR. BENNET We shall have no peace at Longbourn if Lydia does not go to Brighton. Let her go, then. Colonel Forster is a sensible man, and will keep her out of any real mischief; and she is luckily too poor to be an object of prey to anybody. At Brighton she will be of less importance even as a common flirt than she has been here. The officers will find women better worth their notice. Let us hope, therefore, that her being there may teach her own insignificance. At any rate, she cannot grow many degrees worse, without authorizing us to lock her up for the rest of her life. In any event, you will be off with your Aunt and Uncle touring around Derbyshire. (Lydia is dancing about singing, “I am going to Brighton.” Kitty is sniveling.) (SCENE CHANGE #2-4) SCENE 10 - HALL - PEMBERLEY – Early afternoon – Tuesday, August 4, 1812 MR. GARDINER Mrs. Gardiner has a particularly strong attraction to Lambton. She passed some years of her life here. She has seen Pemberley before this and knew the late Mr. Darcy, by character, perfectly well. MRS. GARDINER If it were merely a fine house richly furnished I should not care about Pemberley myself but the grounds are delightful. They have some of the finest woods in the county. 43
