'If that makes any sense at all.' 'It does. It does. Yes, no, it absolutely does, yes.'

Get you someone who looks at you the way Mr Hayward looks at Mary Bennet (part 3).

(Honestly, I could have just uploaded the entire 1.10min continuous shot of the dance but tumblr has a 10mb limit!)

"There's a steady cam bit where they do the bird noises[...] I knew Dónal was a brilliant actor and and when he came and read with Ella and the chemistry was phenomenal. I hadn't expected him to be genuinely as hysterically funny as he is. I mean, the twinkle in his eye when he's doing those bird noises, because he knows he's going to set her off. And he kept doing them slightly differently. So every time Ella thought she was okay and she'd get through it, he'd change it a bit and she's... there's some brilliant takes on that." - Sarah Quintrell, Screenwriter for The Other Bennet Sister.

"One of the most enjoyable scenes for Bruccoleri to film was one with Finn, in which Mary and Mr Hayward perform bird noises to each other in a park. “And it was so difficult,” she remembers, “because he’d really perfected some of these bird calls, but he was looking at me dead in the eye, serious, and I was really struggling. You can see me laughing – I just couldn’t do it without laughing." - Ella Bruccoleri's interview with Drama Quarterly

I cannot offer you great wealth or Italy. But I can offer you my love and my devotion.

Ann Baxter: Mr Hayward, how would you like to dance with Miss Bennet?

Mary Bennet: No I couldn't.

Ann Baxter: It will show how eligible you are.
