Orgoglio e pregiudizio

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife. L’immaginazione di una donna corre sempre: dall’ammirazione passa all’amore, dall’amore al matrimonio, tutto in un istante. In vain have I 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.
