Pride and Prejudice

Developed by: Blah

Let's see how much attention you paid when you READ this amazing novel. But Beware! ~ The inside cover of my copy says, "Pride and Prejudice was first published in 1813. This edition is based on the 1813 edition. Punctuation and spelling have been brought into conformity with modern English usage." And so this test won't be rejected, let me tell you that all the words that show up as spelling errors are actually names, not mistakes.

Question 1: What is the first sentence to the book?

	This book is about the love that has potential to grow in any social ranking.
	It is a truth, universally acknowledged, that a man in possession of a fortune, must be in want of a wife.
	This is a tale of love, romance, society, and circumstance.
	It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.

Question 2: What is Mrs. Bennet's opinion of Mrs. Long in the beginning of Chapter 2?

	"I don't like her one bit!"
	She doesn't state her opinion of Mrs. Long in chapter 2, or anywhere for that matter!
	"She is a selfish, hypocritical woman, and I have no opinion of her."
	"She is one of my dearest and best friends."

Question 3: What is Sir William Lucas' history, as stated in the beginning of chapter 5?

	"Sir William Lucas came from a poor family."
	"Sir William Lucas had been formerly in trade in Meryton, where he had made a tolerable fortune and risen to the honour of knighthood by an address to the King, during his mayoralty."
	"Sir William Lucas was a proud sort of man, who came from a noble family."
	It doesn't talk about Sir William Lucas' history!

Question 4: When do we (the readers) get to know of Mr. Darcy's admiration of Elizabeth?

	Towards the beginning of chapter 34 - "In vain I have struggled. It will not do. My feelings will not be repressed. You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you."
	Towards the end of chapter 6 - "I have been meditating on the very great pleasure which a pair of fine eyes in the face of a pretty woman can bestow."
	Towards the beginning of chapter 18 - ". . . she found herself suddenly addressed by Mr. Darcy, who took her so much by surprise in her application for her hand that, without knowing what she did, she accepted him." (They were dancing)

Question 5: What is the first line of the letter Mr. Darcy gives to Elizabeth the morning after her refusal to marry him?

	"I'm sorry."
	"Be not alarmed, madam, on receiving this letter by the apprehension of its containing any repetition of those sentiments, or renewal of those offers, which were last night so disgusting to you."
	"Thank you, madam, for making your opinion of me so clear last night."
	"Please do not turn a deaf ear to what I must now tell you."

Question 6: What was the question Miss Bingley asked Elizabeth at Pemberly that upset and insulted both Mr. and Miss Darcy as well as Elizabeth herself?

	"Pray, Miss Eliza, are not the -shire militia removed from Meryton? They must be a great loss to YOUR family."
	"Why have you come here? Do you wish to insult Mr. Darcy?"
	"What drew you to Pemberly? Was it perhaps the beautiful grounds? or was it the wish to unsettle the residents with your unwelcome presence?"
	"What brought you here Miss Eliza? A wish to see the beauty of a home which you will never be able to equal in your own?"

Question 7: How long did it take Elizabeth and Mr. and Mrs. Gardiner to reach Longbourn after leaving Lambton?

	"They traveled as expeditiously as possible; and sleeping one night on the road reached Longbourn by dinner-time the next day."
	"they drove as quickly as they could and reached Longbourn in 5 hours."
	"The trip took all of three days to complete."
	The book doesn't say how long it took them.
