# Chapter One
|
||
|
|
||
|
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.
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Chapter Two
|
||
|
|
||
|
“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.
|
||
|
|
||
|
### Chapter Three
|
||
|
|
||
|
“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?”
