Read the excerpt from Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen."Why, my dear, you must know, Mrs. Long says that Netherfield is taken by a young man of large fortune from the north of England; that he came down on Monday in a chaise and four to see the place, and was so much delighted with it that he agreed with Mr. Morris immediately; that he is to take possession before Michaelmas, and some of his servants are to be in the house by the end of next week.”
The excerpt tells the reader that a new tenant has taken Netherfield and will move in soon. This news introduces an event that helps move the story forward, so it is part of the plot; Netherfield is also a setting, but the main focus is what is about to happen.
