she said. I took my phone and surfed as she had asked me and I had found a good libraries of books in the phone rather than in my own home. I mean I lack the sense of having the books in my home. “What do you want me to read?” I asked her. She snuggled to my side and then leaned against my stomach resting her head on my laps as she gently caressed my thighs. “Price and Prejudice,” she said. “The one written by Jane Austin?” I asked her.

Besides, I have all day tomorrow to be freaked out. Thankfully, I have a stack of Jane Austen books on my dresser. I reach for Pride and Prejudice because it's my favorite. I've read it at least ten times and it never fails to take me to another place. And, no matter where I begin, Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet eventually end up together and live happily ever after.

Aubrey looked at me wanting to ask who this person was, but I didn't really know who she was, so I could only reply with a smile of goodwill. “I know you came here to inquire about Ancanta's death, so I have been here waiting for your arrival. Call me Jane. Follow me, let's go into the library that year." Although I knew that Aubrey and I were very confused, the nun Jane continued to walk, I felt a little strange but also hurried to follow in her footsteps. Mrs. Jane went to the library and entered, as fast as the wind, I did not see her. If it weren't for her to be an eighty-year-old woman, no one would have believed that at that age she could be so healthy.

Chapter Five Jane's Point of view As the words echoed in the hall, One million eight hundred thousand for a late bid? My eyes widened, and I stumbled backward. I turned to see who had outbid Mr. Dennis and saved me from him. The calm man who had followed Mr. Dennis to the party looked extremely simple but had an aura that exuded wealth. I couldn't help but leap for joy. I was happier to follow him than to follow Mr. Dennis, but what could be the reason he outbid Mr. Dennis, who seemed to be a close friend?

We all nodded and she continue, "Now, does anyone want to read the profound opening of Austen's novel? How about you, Ms. Smith?" I didn't argue and began to read the opening sentence of the novel, "It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of good fortune must be in want of a wife." "That's great," she gave a slight clap for my performance, making me feel a bit embarrassed so I slouched into my chair which earned me a few sympathetic smiles from my classmates. She asked, "Do you all understand what Austen meant by this?" Jason raised his hand and spoke, not waiting for her to permit him to speak, "It's exactly what she said. She meant that if a single man was w

I pushed it open wider. The room was cool and dark, shelves towering like silent guardians. I flicked on one small switch on the wall, and amber lights pooled across the entire room and over the shelves. My eyes ran through the sections—romance section, classics and thrillers. I ran my fingers along the spines, looking for something thick, something to lose myself in until sleep finally came. I saw a first-edition Jane Austen. A modern dark romance with a brooding cover. It was a fantasy series Mirabel had raved about.

”Yeah, I’m speechless” I agree. ”What was the name again?” Sebastian asks. ”Pride and Prejudice” Aiden replies. ”This was good, I have to admit. Such strong emotions” I tell him. ”How did you..where did you know this?” Sebastian asks. ”I actually like old romance books, I know this movie was from year 2005 but it’s based on a book by Jane Austen from the year 1813 if I remember correctly” Aiden explains. ”I forgot your minor is English literature” I smile at him.

Next to it, placed purposefully at the center, was a single book. Its cover gleamed softly under the chandelier’s light. Deep emerald leather, trimmed in gold. The title: Pride and Prejudice. Emilia froze. She turned slowly back to Max, blinking. “Is this…?” He nodded. “A first edition. Signed by Jane Austen herself.” Her mouth parted, but no words came. “I ruined your original copy in high school,” Max continued. “Dropped it in the fountain during that stupid dare. You were furious.”

Sarah apologized. Jane kept her eyes fixed on the window, lost in thought. She remembered vividly the fateful day her aunt's husband had come calling on her family. Lord Denney had asked to see her privately, she had been scared what his news had been, but when he had told her, Jane had immediately accepted before the news had been announced to the rest of her family. It was a grand chance: to become close with the king and bear his son. Her chance to rise above her current station and secure a future filled with power and prestige.

I need to know what is going on. Once we are in the house, Margaret sits in the living room and starts to read the newspaper. I haven’t seen someone read the actual newspaper for years. I guess they are not crazy about cellphones around here. I take the Pride and Prejudice book from the bookshelf on, careful not to let the note from Vincent fall.
