[ELIZABETH]
Who are you?
I thought I knew the man in the portrait
You appear and seem to be
All the things that I refused to see
And you said you loved me
Who are you?
Is it true?
The man in the portrait is thoughtful and good
If I knew then what I know now
I might have understood
But that was then!
Now I’m face to face
With you, the man in the portrait!
In your gaze I can see
The way you used to smile at me
And it says you loved me
(Music stops.)
[DARCY, spoken]
Ms. Bennet?
[ELIZABETH, spoken]
Mr. Darcy.
[DARCY, spoken]
Your family, are they in health?
[ELIZABETH, spoken]
Yes. Thank you.
[DARCY, spoken]
And you are well?
[ELIZABETH, spoken]
Yes, thank you.
[DARCY, spoken]
You have been travelling?
[ELIZABETH, spoken]
Yes.
[DARCY, spoken]
How do you find Pemberley, Ms. Bennet?
[ELIZABETH, spoken]
It is beautiful.
(Music resumes.)
[DARCY, spoken]
I am glad.
[ELIZABETH]
Who are you?
[DARCY]
You’re here and now
What can I do?
[ELIZABETH]
The man from the portrait
Is standing here
[DARCY]
Can she see
How very dear she is to me?
[ELIZABETH]
What is this change in me?
[DARCY]
Could she ever love me?
[ELIZABETH]
Has he forgiven me?
[DARCY]
Has she forgiven me?
[ELIZABETH, DARCY]
It’s shameful the way I behaved!
[DARCY]
When I proposed
I said such hateful things
[ELIZABETH]
When I chose
To say such hateful things
[ELIZABETH, DARCY]
So much pain!
Shall we start again?
[DARCY]
You’re here
[ELIZABETH]
The man from the portrait
Looks at me
Do I have the power…
[DARCY]
In your eyes
I still see
A woman whom I want…
[ELIZABETH, DARCY]
To please?
[DARCY]
And could she
[ELIZABETH]
And could he
[MR. DARCY]
Could she ever
[ELIZABETH]
Could he still
[ELIZABETH, DARCY]
Love me?
