Today I have a grammar
question for you. Please try to guess/explain why ‘a’ article in the
highlighted part of the sentence!
Mrs. Gardiner's
caution to Elizabeth was punctually and kindly given on the first favourable
opportunity of speaking to her alone; after honestly telling her what she
thought, she thus went on:
"You are too
sensible a girl, Lizzy, to fall in love merely because you are warned against
it; and, therefore, I am not afraid of speaking openly. Seriously, I would have
you be on your guard. Do not involve yourself or endeavour to involve him in an
affection which the want of fortune would make so very imprudent. I have
nothing to say against him; he is a most interesting young man; and
if he had the fortune he ought to have, I should think you could not do better.
But as it is, you must not let your fancy run away with you. You have sense,
and we all expect you to use it. Your father would depend on your resolution
and good conduct, I am sure. You must not disappoint your father."
