becoming jane
Tom: Miss Austen.
Jane: Mr Lefroy. Sir. I believe I must congratulate you, Mr Lefroy. And you've come to visit an old friend at such a time. How considerate.
Tom: I have come to offer an explanation, belatedly, for my conduct. I cannot think how to describe it.
Jane: Tell me about your lady, Mr Lefroy. From where does she come?
Tom: She's from County Wexford.
Jane: Your own country. Excellent. What was it that won her? Your manner, smiles and pleasing address?
George asks if she loves him.
Jane: No, no, not at all. No, had I really experienced that emotion, I should, at present, detest the very sight of him. And you are mistaken. I'm even impartial towards the gloriously endowed Miss Wexford...
Tom: I cannot do this. And so you would marry Wisley? Please? If there is a shred of truth or justice inside of you, you cannot marry him.
Jane: Oh no, Mr Lefroy. Justice, by your own admission, you know little of, truth even less.
Tom: Jane, I have tried. I have tried and I cannot live this lie. Can you? Jane, can you? What value will there be in life if we are not together? Run away with me.
Jane: An elopement?
Tom: That is exactly what I propose. We'll post to London, by Friday be in Scotland, and man and wife.
Jane: Leave everything?
Tom: Everything. It is the only way we can be together.
