Famous First Lines...

Saturday night is our monthly family service and we will be beginning a series on Genesis. (Do you see the pun in that sentence?) This week's message is called Famous First Lines... We are starting with a little quiz. Can you tell me what famous books these famous first lines came from? Here are two hints: Both are very famous and written before anyone at the Wheatland Mission was born.

"Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way."

"The family of Dashwood had been long settled in Sussex."

Post a comment and be the first to get the answer right. By the way, this little quiz is open book. (We are going to do this again Saturday Night and we will include a few more "kid friendly" questions.

The second one is from my second favorite book of all time: Sense and Sensibility.

Jane Austen...you've just gotta love her very long sentences which just seem to go on and on, although they are grammatically correct--they seem somewhat redundant at times but usally quite necessary to the plot and/or character development!!
