Thursday Text: Pride and Prejudice

My class has finished reading Pride and Prejudice. We're going to start watching the 1940 film version tomorrow. Here are a couple of quotes from Elizabeth on her engagement that I thought were perfect.

To Jane:
It is settled between us already, that we are to be the happiest couple in the world.


And later:
I am the happiest creature in the world. Perhaps other people have said so before, but not one with such justice. I am happier even than Jane; she only smiles, I laugh.
