In the 1995 adaptation of Persuasion, Anne plays the same tune that Wentworth playfully played in an earlier part of the film. This little detail suggests that Wentworth learned it from Anne, who plays piano regularly, years ago.
Persuasion 1995 script
Me, reading Persuasion for the first time: I don’t understand why there is so much hype around Wentworth
Me, once I get to the scenes with Wentworth in Bath: Ohhhh???
Me, after I read Wentworth’s letter: I get it now
Still legit grieved Henry Golding wasn’t cast as Captain Wentworth. ;_;
Director: Okay, so our romantic lead is a British naval captain
Costuming: gotcha, one 1815-era uniform coming right up
Director: oh no he’s retired, newly wealthy, and bent on finding a wife
Costuming: oh! So he should have a sharp new civilian wardrobe? For the ladies?
Director: what? No. He should look like he swam to shore and stole his wardrobe from the washing line of a tenant farm
Costuming: …can he have a hat at least?
Director:No.
