Chapter one
It is a truth
Universally acknowleddged a single le man in posession of a good fortune must be in one 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 as the rightful property of someone or other of their daughters
My dear mister bennett said
His lady to him one day have you heard that netherfield park has led at last
Mister bentt replied that he had not
But it is returned she for mrs long has just been here
And she told me all about it
Mister bennett made no answer
Do not you want to know who is taken it cried his wife impatiently underscore
You underscore want to tell me
And i have no objection to hearing it
This was imvitation enough
Why my dear you must know mis s says ys nenefield is taken by a young man of large fortune from the north of england
That he came down on monday in a shades and four to see the place
And was so much delighted with it
That he agreed with mister morris
Immediately that he is to take possession before michael mss and some of his servants are to be in the house by the end of next week
What is his name
Billey is he married or single
Oh Single
My dear to be sure a single man larlarge forune e four or five a year
What a fine thing for our girls
How so
How can it affect them
My dear mister bennett replied his wife
How can you be so tarsome
You must know that i am thinking of his marrying
One of them is that is design in settling here design nonsense
How can you talk so
But it is very likely that he underscore
May underscore 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
Where you may send them by themselves which perhaps will be still better for as you are as handsome as any of them
Mister binley might like you the best of the party
My dear you flatter me
I certainly underscore have underscore 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 mister binley
When he comes into the neighborhood 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
Serwilliam and lady lucas are determined to go
Merely on that account foreiggeneral
You know they visit no newcomerce indeed you must go for it will be impossible for underscore as underscore to visit him
If you do not you are over scrupulous
Surely i dare say mister 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 lizy
I desire you will do know such thing
Lizy is not a bit better than the others
And i am sure she is not have so so handsome as jane
Nor have so good humour as lidya
But you are always giving underscore
Her underscore 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
Mister bennett
How can you abuse your own children in such a way you take delight indexing me
You have no compassion on 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 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 a four thousand a year come into the neighborhood
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
Mister bennett was so ua mixture of quick parts
Sarcastic humor reserve and craprise
That the experience of three and twenty years had been insufficient to make his wife understand his character underscore
Her underscore mind was less difficult to develop she was a woman of mean understanding little information and uncertain temper
When she was discontented
She fanced herself nervous the business of her life was to get her daughters married
Its solace was visiting a news
