1 Daisy, dear, I've sent an invitation to your friend, Mr. Laurence, for Thursday.
2 No one could resist her persuasive nods, or the fragrant invitation issuing from the nose of the coffee pot.
3 and one listener was so thrilled by the tender invitation that she longed to say she did know the land, and would joyfully depart thither whenever he liked.
4 He rang, and despatched an invitation to Mrs. Fairfax, who soon arrived, knitting-basket in hand.
5 An invitation to dinner was soon afterwards dispatched; and already had Mrs. Bennet planned the courses that were to do credit to her housekeeping, when an answer arrived which deferred it all.
6 Mr. Bingley was obliged to be in town the following day, and, consequently, unable to accept the honour of their invitation, etc.
7 After sitting a little while with Jane, on Miss Bingley's appearance and invitation, the mother and three daughters all attended her into the breakfast parlour.
8 Mrs. Bennet chose to consider it as given in compliment to her eldest daughter, and was particularly flattered by receiving the invitation from Mr. Bingley himself, instead of a ceremonious card.
9 No scheme could have been more agreeable to Elizabeth, and her acceptance of the invitation was most ready and grateful.
10 I have scarcely any hesitation in saying she will include you and my sister Maria in every invitation with which she honours us during your stay here.
11 Mr. Collins's triumph, in consequence of this invitation, was complete.
12 The invitation was accepted of course, and at a proper hour they joined the party in Lady Catherine's drawing-room.
13 I am much obliged to your ladyship for your kind invitation," replied Elizabeth, "but it is not in my power to accept it.
14 But the gloom of Lydia's prospect was shortly cleared away; for she received an invitation from Mrs. Forster, the wife of the colonel of the regiment, to accompany her to Brighton.
15 Mrs. Gardiner looked at her niece, desirous of knowing how she, whom the invitation most concerned, felt disposed as to its acceptance, but Elizabeth had turned away her head.
