Chapter 1 It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune ,
must be in want of a wife . However little known the feelings or views of such a man may be on his first entering a
neighbourhood, this truth is so well fixed in the minds of the surrounding families , that he is considered the rightful property of some one or other of their daughters. "My dear Mr. Bennet ," said his lady to him one day, "have you heard that Netherfield
Park is let at last?" Mr. Bennet replied that he had not. "But it is," returned she; "for Mrs. Long has just been here , and she told me all about it." Mr. Bennet made no answer . "Do you not want to know who has taken it?" cried his wife impatiently. "You want to tell me, and I have no objection to hearing it." This was invitation enough. "Why, my dear, you must know, Mrs. Long says that Netherfield is taken by a young
man of large fortune from the north of England ; that he came down on Monday in a chaise
and four to see the place , and was so much delighted with it, that he agreed with Mr. Morris immediately; that he is to take possession before Michaelmas, and some of his servants are
to be in the house by the end of next week." "What is his name?" "Bingley." "Is he married or single?" "Oh! Single, my dear, to be sure ! A single man of large fortune; four or five thousand a year . What a fine thing for our girls !" "How so? How can it affect them ?" "My dear Mr. Bennet," replied his wife, "how can you be so tiresome! You must know
that I am thinking of his marrying one of them." "Is that his design in settling here?" "Design! Nonsense , how can you talk so! But it is very likely that he may fall in love
with one of them, and therefore you must visit him as soon as he comes ." "I see no occasion for that. You and the girls may go, or you may send them by
themselves, which perhaps will be still better, for as you are as handsome as any of them,
Mr. Bingley may like you the best of the party ." "My dear, you flatter me. I certainly have had my share of beauty , but I do not pretend to
be anything extraordinary now. When a woman has five grown -up daughters, she ought to
give over thinking of her own beauty." "In such cases , a woman has not often much beauty to think of." "But, my dear, you must indeed go and see Mr. Bingley when he comes into the
neighbourhood." "It is more than I engage for, I assure you." "But consider your daughters. Only think what an establishment it would be for one of
them. Sir William and Lady Lucas are determined to go, merely on that account , for in
general, you know, they visit no newcomers. Indeed you must go, for it will be impossible
for us to visit him if you do not." "You are over-scrupulous, surely. I dare say Mr. Bingley will be very glad to see you;
and I will send a few lines by you to assure him of my hearty consent to his marrying
whichever he chooses of the girls; though I must throw in a good word for my little Lizzy." "I desire you will do no such thing. Lizzy is not a bit better than the others ; and I am sure
she is not half so handsome as Jane, nor half so good-humoured as Lydia. But you are
always giving her the preference." "They have none of them much to recommend them," replied he; "they are all silly and ignorant like other girls; but Lizzy has something more of quickness than her sisters ." "Mr. Bennet, how can you abuse your own children in such a way? You take delight in
vexing me. You have no compassion for my poor nerves." "You mistake me, my dear. I have a high respect for your nerves. They are my old friends . I have heard you mention them with consideration these last twenty years at least ." "Ah, you do not know what I suffer." "But I hope you will get over it, and live to see many young men of four thousand a year come into the neighbourhood." "It will be no use to us, if twenty such should come, since you will not visit them." " Depend upon it, my dear, that when there are twenty, I will visit them all." Mr. Bennet was so odd a mixture of quick parts, sarcastic humour, reserve , and caprice,
that the experience of three-and-twenty years had been insufficient to make his wife understand his character. Her mind was less difficult to develop . She was a woman of mean understanding , little information, and uncertain temper . When she was discontented, she
4. What was Mrs. Bennett's utmost worry? She was one constant slanderer, so there was nothing more enjoyable nor important for her than getting her daughters married as soon as possible (and show off about it afterwards). 5. Why was Darcy's marriage proposal to Elizabeth such a struggle to him according to his words? He was scared by the propriety and the lack of manners and intelligence of the other members of the Bennets family except Jane and Elizabeth. 6. How did Darcy justify his interference with the relationship between Jane and Bingley? He never ment to do any harm, but simply assumed by a glance that Jane isn'i into Bingley as deeply as It would've been necessary for a happy marriage. 7. What words did Darcy use to describe Elizabeth's appearance at the ball where they first met? He claimed that Elizabeth wasn't pretty, nor elegant enough to catch his eye. 8

Yes, so it is, but, I do have a certain reason. Do you remember Sir Thom of the Minquettes'? That fine young man with fascinating blue eyes... Oh, my sweet Mary, you will never guess what happened yesterday! It was about seven o'clock in the evening when Lillian called me out for a walk you know I can't say `no' to my little sis. Anyway we went to the forest near the Swan Lake and, believe it or not, got lost! Awful! I was so scared... We walked and walked, not even knowing the direction we were heading to, until we reached a huge mansion. And the garden around it was so extraordinary... That is something you just must see! But neither the trees nor flowers could be as wonderful as the owner himself! Sir Thom treated us tea and sandwiches, not forgetting to show us way back to the village. He was so kind, don't you think?
Hamlet Shakespeare, William Published: 1599 Categorie(s): Fiction, Drama Source: Feedbooks 1 About Shakespeare: William Shakespeare (baptised 26 April 1564 – died 23 April 1616) was an English poet and playwright, widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's pre-eminent dramatist. He is often called England's national poet and the "Bard of Avon" (or simply "The Bard"). His surviv- ing works consist of 38 plays, 154 sonnets, two long narrative poems, and several other poems. His plays have been trans- lated into every major living language, and are performed more often than those of any other playwright. Shakespeare was born and raised in Stratford-upon-Avon. At the age of 18 he married Anne Hathaway, who bore him three children: Susanna, and twins Hamnet and Judith. Between 1585 and 1592 he began a successful career in London as an actor, writer, and part ow
Catherine Morland My name is Catherine Morland. I would like to tell you a bit about myself. To begin with, I am seventeen years old and grew up in a countryside in a small town named Fullerton with my parents and nine siblings. As a child I was interested in many things like drawing, sports and music. I was very lively and cheerful, enjoyed cricket, horse riding and just hated cleanliness and restriction. As I grew up, I chose reading over sports and all of the wild games I used to like. Undoubtedly, I would now describe myself with the word naivety. I am very naïve and do not notice the most obvious things happening around me. I really hope that it is caused by the lack of experience and will eventually pass. In addition, I find myself a kind and caring person because I always want and agree to help people when needed. Furthermore, I really like reading. Sometimes I think that I read too much because I often mix fiction up with reality and in some cases it does not do me any good.
Lamb to the Slaughter by Roald Dahl (1916-1990) The room was warm and clean, the curtains drawn, the two table lamps alight - hers and the one by the empty chair opposite. On the sideboard behind her, two tall glasses, soda water, whiskey. Fresh ice cubes in the Thermos bucket. Mary Maloney was waiting for her husband to come him (correction: home) from work. Now and again she would glance up at the clock, but without anxiety, merely to please herself with the thought that each minute gone by made it nearer the time when he would come. There was a slow smiling air about her, and about everything she did. The drop of a head as she bent over her sewing was curiously tranquil. Her skin - for this was her sixth month with child - had acquired a wonderful translucent quality, the mouth was soft, and the eyes, with their new placid look, seemed larger darker than before. When the clock said ten minutes to five, she began to listen, and a few moments later, punctually as always, she hear
