EXT. PEMBERLEY - DAY.
The carriage enters the gates of Pemberley.
MRS SAKURA
I'm so glad you changed your mind
Kimihiro is alert, his eyes bright with curiosity. The parkland is wild and rocky. Deer graze; rooks wheel in the sky. A sense of freedom and liberation. As the carriage drives over the top of a hill, close on Kimihiro's face. He gasps. The Syaorans gasp.
A huge, wide shot of Pemberley House. It's vast, breathtakingly beautiful, set in great boulder-strewn park lands. A mansion built of golden stone, glowing in the sunlight.
EXT. PARK - PEMBERLY - THE SAME.
Kimihiro walks through the magnificent grounds.
MRS SAKURA
Imagine being mistress of all this. It is as big as all Cheapside.
Kimihiro is lost in admiration.
INT. PEMBERLY - DAY.
Kimihiro and the Syaorans are being taken on the tour by the housekeeper, Mrs Tomoyo, who twitters on in the background with descriptions of each room. Kimihiro is apart and we witness the exquisite house from his point of view. A book lies open on a reading desk, Kimihiro turns it over to read the title.
MRS SAKURA
(to Kimihiro)
Keep up.
They walk through room after amazing room: a breathtaking library, an unbelievable staircase.
INT. PICTURE GALLERY - PEMBERLY - DAY.
The huge picture gallery. Kimihiro is apart from the rest looking at the pictures he stops by a painting of Doumeki. He looks at it thoughtfully but is interrupted by Mrs Tomoyo and the Syaorans who are following her.
MRS TOMOYO
This is my master - Mr Doumeki
MRS SAKURA
A handsome face. Kimmy, is it a true likeness of him?
MRS TOMOYO
Does this young man know Mr Doumeki?
KIMIHIRO
Only a little.
MRS TOMOYO
And do you not think him a handsome man, Mr?
KIMIHIRO
(thoughtfully)
Yes, yes I suppose he is.
Mrs Tomoyo moves the Syaorans on to another painting, but Kimihiro stays, staring at Doumeki's image.
MRS TOMOYO
And this is his sister, Miss Himawari. She plays and sings all day long.
We realize that in the distance we have heard music. Kimihiro is still gazing at the portrait of Doumeki, then suddenly snaps out of his reverie, as he processes Mrs Tomoyo's speech:
KIMIHIRO
They are at home?!
MRS TOMOYO
Miss Doumeki is always down for the summer. Mr Doumeki is due here tomorrow.
MR SYAORAN
Is your master much at Pemberley?
MRS TOMOYO
Not as much as I would wish, sir, nor he - for he dearly loves it here.
Relaxed again Kimihiro wanders off as the Syaorans talk to Mrs Tomoyo.
MRS SAKURA
If he should marry, you might see more of him.
MRS TOMOYO
Yes madam, but I do not know when that will be. I do not know a lady who is good enough for him.
MRS SAKURA
What do you mean?
MRS TOMOYO
I've know Mr Doumeki since he was a boy. he was always a kind and generous person even then. Not everyone can see it, because he does not make a meal of it like a lot of young men nowadays. But he is the most sweet-tempered and kind-
CUT TO:
As the Syaorans look at more paintings; Kimihiro drifts out through the open doors and onto a terrace. In the bright sunlight the view of the gardens and valley beyond is exquisite. Outside the music we heard before is louder.
EXT. TERRACE - PEMBERLY - THE SAME.
Kimihiro wanders aimlessly across the terrace, being unconsciously drawn by the music. Suddenly Kimihiro recognizes the tune (perhaps it is the one he has played earlier - but this time it is played exquisitely). He follows the music round a corner, intrigued as he gets closer and closer to its source. He finally realizes he is outside the room where the music is being played.
He steals himself a moment, but his curiosity get the better of him and he discreetly peeps in.
Through the window he sees Himawari Doumeki, a beautiful fifteen year old playing the piano with great passion and fluency. He is moved by the music and listens. After sometime, then someone steps into his view but is mostly hidden by shadows in the room. The person is directly behind Himawari and gently puts his hands over her eyes. Himawari stops playing and laughs uproariously. She stands and kisses the figure, the sunlight hits his face. It is Doumeki.
Himawari and Doumeki hug. Kimihiro is stunned to see him there. Doumeki glances up and sees Kimihiro watching him. For a moment they both stare at each other frozen with surprise. Himawari starts in fright at the figure, Kimihiro turns and runs. Doumeki comes out after him.
DOUMEKI
Mr Kimihiro!
Kimihiro stops, appallingly embarrassed. Doumeki catches up with him. They both blush, deeply
KIMIHIRO
I thought you were in London.
DOUMEKI
(Stupidly)
No...I'm not.
KIMIHIRO
No.
Another ghastly silence. Then they both speak at once.
DOUMEKI/KIMIHIRO
I cam here a day early-
We wouldn't have come-
- some business with my steward-
I'm so terribly sorry-
They stop. He gazes at Kimihiro with great emotion.
KIMIHIRO
I'm visiting Derbyshire with my uncle and aunt.
DOUMEKI
(trying to recover)
And are you having a pleasant trip?
KIMIHIRO
Very pleasant. Tomorrow we go to Matlock.
DOUMEKI
Tomorrow?
(disappointed)
Are you staying in Lambton?
KIMIHIRO
Yes. At the Rose and Crown.
Another pause. Kimihiro extends his hand.
KIMIHIRO
I'm so sorry to intrude. They said the house was open for visitors. I had no idea...
They shake hands and Kimihiro starts to walk away.
DOUMEKI
May I see you to the village?
KIMIHIRO
Oh no! I'm very fond of walking.
DOUMEKI
Yes.
KIMIHIRO
Goodbye, Mr Doumeki.
He hurries away. Doumeki gazes after him.
CUT TO:
A wood. Now he is out of sight, Kimmy collapses on a log. He is utterly undone. Around him, the birds sing.
