[00:00:00]You may well be surprised, Miss Elizabeth, especially given our cold greeting this afternoon.

[00:00:05]>> Well, I hope that your plans in favor of Meritan will not be affected by your relations with the gentleman.

[00:00:10]>> Oh, no. It is not for me to be driven away. If he wishes to avoid seeing me, he must go.

[00:00:17]Not I.

[00:00:18]>> I must ask Mr. Wickham, what is the manner of your disapproval of Mr. Darcy?

[00:00:23]>> We grew up together, Darcy and I. His father treated me like a second son.

[00:00:27]Loved me like a son. We were both with him the day he died. With his last breath, his father bequeathd me the rectory in his estate. He knew I had my heart set on joining the church. But Darcy ignored his wishes and gave the living to another man.

[00:00:42]>> But why?

[00:00:43]>> Jealousy. His father.

[00:00:47]Well, he loved me better, and Darcy couldn't stand it.

[00:00:50]>> How cruel.

[00:00:51]>> So now I'm a poor foot soldier, too lowly even to be noticed.
