QUIZ! Famous First Lines From Literature

Each of Eliza's columns about The Tattooed Duke for The London Weekly begins with a play on the first line from famous novels. My challenge for you: Can you list the real first line and the novel it's from for each quote below?


 Answer by midnight for a chance to win a signed copy of A Tale Of Two Lovers and a temporary tattoo of The Tattooed Duke book cover! (Say that five times fast!) I'll pick one winner randomly from those with perfect scores.



It was the best of times and it was the worst of times for the new Duke of Wycliff…
The Duke of Wycliff, of number four Berkeley Square, is proud to say he is not perfectly normal, thank you very much.
It is a truth universally acknowledged that man in want of a fortune must also be in search of a wife.
Two houses, both alike in indignity.
Happy Dukes are all alike; every unhappy Duke is unhappy in his own way.
No one who had ever seen W.G. Meadows in her infancy would have supposed her born to be a heroine.

Good luck! :)
