Start: DARCY: Miss Bennet, I didn’t realize you’d be up at this hour.

MARY: Good evening, Mr. Darcy, I find it is the only quiet hour in the day. I should ask forgiveness of you for creeping around your library at night like a specter. Please excuse me.

She goes to leave.

DARCY: Please stay. May I ask what preoccupies you this evening?

[.. ... ..]

End: DARCY: Might you not define yourself, Miss Bennet?

MARY: That seems easier to articulate than to accomplish.

DARCY: Good advice always is. We are almost to a new year, Miss Bennet; the season may bring with it a new beginning. Good night and...enjoy America.

MARY: I will, Mr. Darcy. Good night.

Darcy exits as Mary looks at the world far beyond her.
