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 as 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.

Wie wenig man auch von den Gefühlen oder Ansichten eines solchen Mannes wissen mag, wenn er zum ersten Mal in eine Gegend zieht: Diese Wahrheit ist in den Köpfen der umliegenden Familien so fest verankert, dass er als rechtmäßiges Eigentum der einen oder anderen ihrer Töchter gilt.
