About this series
Langford, December
My dear brother, I can no longer refuse the pleasure of availing myself of your kind invitation when we last parted from spending a few weeks with you at Churchhill, and therefore, if it is quite convenient for you and Mrs Vernon to receive me at this time, I hope in a few days to be introduced to a sister whom I have long wished to meet. My kind friends here are most affectionately urgent towards me to prolong my stay, but their hospitable and cheerful disposition leads them too much towards society for my present condition and state of mind; and I look forward to the hour when I shall be admitted into your pleasant retirement
.
As I am on the point of separating from my own daughter, I long to be communicated to your dear little children, in whose hearts I shall soon be so eager to secure an interest which I shall need with all my fortitude. The protracted illness of her dear father has prevented me from giving her the attention which duty and love equally command, and I have much reason to fear that the governess to whose care I have committed her is not equal to blame. I have therefore resolved to place him in one of the best private schools in the city, where I shall have the opportunity of leaving him to you myself in my path. As you can see, I am determined not to be refused admission to Churchhill. It would indeed give me the most painful sensations to know that it is not in your power to admit me.
Your most obliging and affectionate sister,
S. VERNON.

- Pride and Prejudice - Jane Austen: Is it possible to fall in love when all you know is hate?
1
"It is a truth universally recognised that a single man of good fortune should want a wife". Pride and Prejudice tells the story of fiercely independent Elizabeth Bennett, one of five sisters who must marry rich, while confounding the arrogant, wealthy Mr Darcy. What emerges is one of the most delightful and grippingly readable courtships known to literature, written by an Austen at an early age when she was only twenty-one. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "What's his name?" "Bingley." "Is he married or single?" "Ah! Single, darling, to be sure! A single man of great wealth; four or five thousand a year. What a good thing for our girls!" "How so? How can he influence 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 like that! But the fact that he's in love with one of them and that's why you should visit him as soon as you arrive. " "I see no occasion for that. You and the girls can go, or you can send them off on their own, which will perhaps be better, for you are as handsome as any of them, and Mr Bingley may like you as the best of the party." "Darling, you flatter me. I've certainly had my share of beauty, but I don't pretend to be anything extraordinary now. When a woman has five grown-up daughters, she should stop thinking about her own beauty."

Jane Austen
Jane Austen (1775-1817) was an English novelist known primarily for her six major novels—Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, Mansfield Park, Emma, Northanger Abbey, and Persuasion—which observe and critique the British gentry of the late eighteenth century. Her mastery of wit, irony, and social commentary made her a beloved and acclaimed author in her lifetime, a distinction she still enjoys today around the world.
