Leia o trecho introdutório de uma grande obra
de Jane Austen e responda o que se pede:
“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.”
