FINAL SCRIPT only just tolerable. MRS. BENNET I beg you would not put it into Lizzy's head to be vexed by his ill-treatment, it would be quite a misfortune to be liked by him. Lizzy not handsome enough to dance with! I wish you had been there, my dear, and given him one of your set-downs. I quite detest the man. LYDIA I danced with Captain Carter twice. I hope to see him in the course of the day; he is going next morning to London. KITTY And I danced with Mr. Denny. Meryton is to be the militia headquarters for the whole winter. I know all of the officers' names and connections. MR. BENNET From all that I can collect by your manner of talking, you must be two of the silliest girls in the country. I have suspected it some time, but I am now convinced. MRS. BENNET I am astonished, my dear, that you should be so ready to think your own children silly. If I wished to think slightingly of anybody's children, it should not be of my own. MR. BENNET If my children are silly, I must hope to be always sensible of it. MRS. BENNET Yes—but as it happens, they are all of them very clever. (Mrs. Hill puts out the light as all exit.) SCENE 4 - PARLOR - LONGBOURN – Afternoon – Tuesday, November 12, 1811 MR. HILL (Mr. Hill brings in tea.) Mr. Bingley inherited property to the amount of nearly a hundred thousand pounds from his father. Miss Caroline Bingley presides at her brother’s table—as does his eldest sister, Mrs. Hurst, who married a man of more fashion than fortune. (The family enters.) A letter addressed to Miss Bennet, Ma'am. From Netherfield Hall. MRS. BENNET Well, Jane, who is it from? What is it about? What does it say? Make haste and tell us; make haste, my love. JANE It is from Miss Caroline Bingley. ‘My Dear Friend, If you are not so compassionate as to dine today with Louisa and me, we shall be in danger of hating each other for the rest of our lives, for a whole day's tête-à-tête between two women can never end without a quarrel. Come as soon as you can on receipt of this. My brother and the gentlemen are to dine with the officers. Yours ever, Caroline Bingley.’ LYDIA With the officers! I wonder my Aunt Phillips did not tell us of Mr. Bingley dining with the officers. MARY Dining out, that is very unlucky. JANE May I have the carriage? MRS. BENNET No, my dear, you had better go on horseback. GIRLS Horseback? MRS. BENNET 6
FINAL SCRIPT Because it seems likely to rain, and then you must stay all night. (A distant rumble of thunder.) (Mrs. Bennet and the Bennet sisters leave talking about what Jane should wear and Mr. Bennet leave to go to his study.) MR. HILL Jane has not been gone long and it is raining hard. I am uneasy for her. If the rain continues the whole evening without intermission, Jane certainly cannot come back. Mrs. Bennet will be delighted. (Exeunt.) SCENE 5 - PARLOR - LONGBOURN – Morning – Wednesday, November 13, 1811 MR. HILL (Entering and waking Elizabeth up.) Good morning Miss Elizabeth, a letter from Netherfield. ELIZABETH Thank you, Mrs. Hill. (Mr. and Mrs. Bennet and the other daughters enter.) ‘My Dearest Lizzy, I find myself very unwell this morning, which, I suppose, is to be imputed to my getting wet through yesterday. My kind friends will not hear of my returning till I am better. They insist also on my seeing Mr. Jones—therefore do not be alarmed if you should hear of his having been to me—and, excepting a sore throat and headache, there is not much the matter with me. Yours, Jane.’ MR. BENNET Well, my dear, if your daughter does die it will be a comfort to know it was all in pursuit of Mr. Bingley. MRS. BENNET Oh! I am not afraid of her dying. People do not die of little trifling colds. I would go and see her if I could have the carriage. KITTY I would go and see her if I could have the carriage. ELIZABETH The carriage is not to be had; and as I am no horsewoman, walking is my only alternative. MRS. BENNET You will not be fit to be seen when you get there. ELIZABETH I shall be very fit to see Jane—which is all I want. MR. BENNET Is this a hint to me, Lizzy, to send for the horses? ELIZABETH No, indeed, I do not wish to avoid the walk. The distance is nothing when one has a motive, only three miles. I shall be back by dinner. MARY I admire the activity of your benevolence, but every impulse of feeling should be guided by reason; and, in my opinion, exertion should always be in proportion to what is required. KITTY We will go as far as Meryton with you. LYDIA If we make haste, perhaps we may see something of Captain Carter before he goes. (Lydia, Kitty and Elizabeth put on their outside wear and begin to walk.) SCENE CHANGE #1-3) KITTY Lizzy, are you really going to walk alone, crossing field after field? ELIZABETH At a quick pace.
