    MY DEAREST LIZZY

    I. Learn the word-meanings of Chapter 10 – My Dearest Lizzy from the English Reader and write
    them down in your fair English Literature notebook.
    II. Write down the following questions and answers in your fair English Literature notebook.

    Q1. What made Elizabeth feel that the distance was nothing?
    A1. Elizabeth felt that the distance was nothing because of her determination to be there for Jane in her illness. It is
    this motive which made her not think of the distance. She was concerned about Jane and the distance of three
    miles did not matter to her.

    Q2. Why were Mrs Hurst and Miss Bingley surprised to see Elizabeth?
    A2. Mrs Hurst and Miss Bingley were surprised to see Elizabeth because she had walked all that distance by herself,
    despite the bad weather. Her stockings were dirty and ankles were weary. Also, she had shown up there very
    early in the day, and that too without information.

    Q3. Describe Elizabeth's meeting with Jane.


    A3. As soon as Elizabeth entered Jane's room, Jane was delighted to see her. Jane couldn’t speak too much because
    of her illness, but expressed her gratitude towards her as well as the Bingleys, while Elizabeth attended to her
    silently. Elizabeth did not leave Jane and took great care for of her.

    Q4. What was the apothecary's verdict regarding Jane's health?


    A4. The apothecary said that Jane had caught a violent cold. He said that he would prescribe some draughts and
    advised her to take rest.

    Q5. Why did Miss Bingley invite Elizabeth to remain in Netherfield?


    A5. Miss Bingley invited Elizabeth to stay in Netherfield because Jane was reluctant to let her go. Though Miss Bingley
    might not have wanted too invite Elizabeth to stay, she was courteous and polite enough to heed the request of
    their ill guest.

    Q6. What kind of a relationship did Jane and Elizabeth share?


    A6. Jane and Elizabeth shared a very affectionate relationship; the bond between the two sisters was very strong and
    Elizabeth was ready to face all odds to be with Jane. The proof lies in the fact that Jane chose to address her
    letter to Elizabeth, and Elizabeth was willing to walk three miles in the rain and dirt to see how Jane was.

    Q7. Was Mr Bennet concerned about Jane's health?


    A7. Yes, Mr Bennet was concerned about Jane's health. He was displeased with his wife for being happy that Jane
    had been taken ill and had to stay at Netherfield, and commented sarcastically that if Jane died as the result of
    her illness, they could be satisfied that it was for the ‘noble cause’ of the pursuit of Mr. Bingley and under the
    orders of Mrs. Bennet.

    Q8. Why do you think Jane was 'not equal to much conversation?
    A8. Jane was not well, was feverish and could hardly speak. Hence she was 'not equal to much conversation with
    Elizabeth.
