Pride and Prejudice By Jane Austen Chapter 1

情態副詞

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune,

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 as 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

“But it is,” returned she; “for Mrs. Long has just been here, and she told me all

“Do not you want to know who has taken it?”

“You want to tell me, and I have no objection to hearing it.”

“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

A single man of large fortune; four or five thousand a year.

“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?”

But it is very likely that he may fall in love with one of them, and therefore you must

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 might like you the

I certainly have had my share of beauty, but I do not pretend to be anything extraordinary

When a woman has five grown-up daughters, she ought to give over thinking of her own

“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.”

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,

Indeed you must go, for it will be impossible for us to visit him, if you do not.”

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.”

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 have no compassion on my poor nerves.”

I have heard you mention them with consideration these twenty years at least.”

“But I hope you will get over it, and live to see many young men of four thousand a year

“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

She was a woman of mean understanding, little information, and uncertain temper.

When she was discontented, she fancied herself nervous.

The business of her life was to get her daughters married; its solace was visiting and news.

Pride and Prejudice By Jane Austen Chapter 2

Mr. Bennet was among the earliest of those who waited on Mr. Bingley.

He had always intended to visit him, though to the last always assuring his wife that

he should not go; and till the evening after the visit was paid she had no knowledge of

It was then disclosed in the following manner.

Observing his second daughter employed in trimming a hat, he suddenly addressed her

“I hope Mr. Bingley will like it, Lizzy.”

“We are not in a way to know what Mr. Bingley likes,” said her mother resentfully, “since

“But you forget, mamma,” said Elizabeth, “that we shall meet him at the assemblies,

and that Mrs. Long has promised to introduce him.”

“I do not believe Mrs. Long will do any such thing.

She is a selfish, hypocritical woman, and I have no opinion of her.”
