“My dear Mr Bennet,” said his lady to him one day, “have you heard that Netherfield Park is let (出租) 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 not you want to know who has taken it?” cried his wife impatiently.?
“You want to tell me, and I have no objection (反对) to hearing it.”
This was invitation enough.
“Why, my dear, you must know, Mrs Long says that Netherfield is taken by a young man of large fortune (财富) from the north of England; that he came down on Monday to see the place, and was so satisfied with it that he agreed immediately(立即) )with Mr Morris, the owner of Netherfield, and some of his servants(仆人) are to be in the house by the end of next week.”
“What is his name?”
“Bingley.”
“Is he married or single?”
“Oh! Single, my dear, to be sure! A single man of large fortune; four or five thousand a year. What a fine thing for our girls! It is probable that he may fall in love with one of them, and so you must visit him as soon as he comes.”
“I see no chance for that. You and the girls may go, or you may send them by themselves, which perhaps will be still better; for, as you are as handsome as any of them, Mr Bingley might like you the best of all.”
“But, my dear, you must indeed go and see Mr Bingley when he comes into the neighbourhood.”
“It is more than what I should do, honestly speaking.”
“But consider your daughters.Sir William and Lady Lucas have decided to go, for in general, you know they visit no new comers. Indeed you must go, for it will be impossible for us to visit him, if you do not.”
But in fact Mr Bennet was among the earliest of those who waited to visit Mr Bingley. He had always planned to visit him, though to the last always lying to his wife that he would not go.

Starting a book club is easy--- all you need is to love reading. Here’s how to get yours off to a flying start.
When you set up your club, the first thing is to get members for your club. They could be friends, family or those you know through kinds of activities, but they should all love to read. A small group of seven to ten people is usually an ideal size for a book club. Too many people make the discussions difficult.
Once you have a group, agree on how often you want to meet-----usually club members meet monthly. Pick a date and stick with it. That way, members can plan for it. Send out emails a week before the meeting to remind(提醒) them of the meeting time. Set meeting time length. An hour is a good start. Two hours usually does the trick.
Then, you need a good place. Libraries, parks and restaurants--- all the public(公共的) places make good meeting places. For many clubs, meeting at home works best because you don’t have to get dressed up, and homes are quiet. If members bring a plate of food or a bottle, it can help start conversation（谈话）
Please don’t forget the most important thing--- the book! Think about the books your club will enjoy. Your club can decide on books in different ways. Anyway, make sure to keep it light and fun.
After you decide all this, your book club is ready. Now, it’s time to hold the first meeting. Enjoy your reading.
