[scene opens with a young woman (long white dress, bonnet) running out of a medieval-style castle]
[she runs into the surrounding woods, then cut to her walking along the edge of a lake, when she stops and picks up a small book placed at the base of a large tree]
[cut to a young man (colonial-style shirt and trousers) watching her from behind another tree, then back to the woman as she opens the book and begins to read]
[cut back to the man, who steps forward from behind the tree (accidentally snapping a twig on the ground with his foot)]
[cut back to the woman, who looks up from the book and gasps]
FREDERICK: I'm sorry, my lady. I didn't mean to startle you.
[he walks towards her, and they bow to each other]
FREDERICK: My name's Frederick Spencer, I ... I work for Mister Cranford up at the old barn.
: Well, Mister Spencer--
FREDERICK: Oh please, my lady. Call me Freddie.
VIOLET: Well Freddie, my name is Lady Violet Aston of Arundel Castle ... Why is it you hide behind the tree and watch me read?
[he bows his head]
FREDERICK: Sorry, my lady. I-It's just ... well, I noticed you found my book.
VIOLET: Are you my mystery librarian?
[he smiles sheepishly]
FREDERICK: Yes. Uh, I often see you sittin' by the lake ... lookin' so pretty and full'a wonder.
[she smiles, then quickly turns away]
FREDERICK: Reminds me of the pretty lady from the book my Ma used to read to me when I was just a boy.
VIOLET: The novel you first left me?
FREDERICK: Yes. Mister Cranford loaned it to me ... well, when I saw you'd read it, I thought I'd bring you some more. I-I hope you don't mind.
VIOLET: Oh no, of course. They're beautiful books. I thank you kindly.
FREDERICK: You have a ... a grand library up at the castle.
[she rolls her eyes]
VIOLET: Yes, it's indulgingly vast. However, Papa won't give me access to it, until I'm old enough to understand it ... or until I'm of an age where I won't be influenced by anyone other than himself.
FREDERICK: Lord Aston, he may only wish to protect you.
VIOLET: I don't need protection, I need my freedom.
[he looks down in awkward silence]
VIOLET: Would you take a turn around the lake with me instead?
FREDERICK: [pause] Are you sure? I'm just a farmer, and I've still got dirt on me ...
[she smiles]
VIOLET: Come now. These things shant deter me.
[she takes his hand, and they walk off, as the scene fades to black]
