All of these characteristics throw the Bennet house of women into a frenzy over who will be fortunate enough to marry Bingley.

Number of words: 991 - Number of pages: 4.... His wonders and his praises do contend Which should be thine or his. Silenced with that, In viewing o’er the rest o’th’ selfsame day, He finds thee in the stout Norweyan ranks, Nothing afeard of what thyself didst make, Strange images of death.
