How quickly it changes

The Bennets were speedily pronounced to be the luckiest family in the world, though only a few weeks before, when Lydia had first run away, they had been generally proved to be marked out for misfortune.

Concentrate. Keep going.

Austen, Jane. Pride and prejudice. India, Penguin Publishing Group, 2003. pg 331
