精彩片段對(duì)白：

Jane: George, George. Mr. Wisley is... He is an honorable man. You’ll always have a place with me.

Tom: Miss Austen.

Jane: Mr. Lefroy.

Tom: Sir.

Jane: 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’ve come to offer an explanation, belatedly, for my conduct. I cannot think how to describe it.

Jane: Tell me about your lady, Mr. Lefroy. For 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? 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’ve 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.

Cassandra: You’ll lose everything, family, place. For what? A lifetime of drudgery on a pittance? A child every year and no means to lighten the load? How will you write, Jane?

Jane: I don’t know. But happiness is within my grasp and I cannot help myself.

Cassandra: There is no sense in this.

Jane: If you could have your Robert back, even like this, would you do it? Please conceal my departure as long as possible.

Cassandra: Wait. Here. Take these. Now go, quickly.

Tom: Come. If we hurry, we can still make the morning coach. You are sure?
