If “The Other Bennet Sister” has taught us anything, it’s that romance can be summed up in two words: bird calls.
In one of the most awkward yet endearing moments in the BritBox series – which imagines what happens to unmarried sister Mary Bennet (Ella Bruccoleri) after the events of “Pride & Prejudice” – she’s faced with a rather overly attentive Mr. Thomas Hayward (Dónal Finn) while walking through the forest. Mary had always been drawn to the solicitor and only recently learned that his understanding with another woman had ended. Unaware that her tender feelings are reciprocated, Mary begins talking about birds, as one does.
