Which lines in these excerpts from Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice are examples of free indirect speech?
1. Within a short walk of Longbourn lived a family with whom the Bennets were particularly intimate. Sir William Lucas had been formerly in
trade in Meryton, where he had made a tolerable fortune, and risen to the honour of knighthood by an address to the king during his mayoralty.
The distinction had perhaps been felt too strongly. It had given him a disgust to his business, and to his residence in a small market town, and, in
quitting them both, he had removed with his family to a house about a mile from Meryton, denominated from that period Lucas Lodge, where
he could think with pleasure of his own importance, and, unshackled by business, occupy himself solely in being civil to all the world. For,
though elated by his rank, it did not render him supercilious; on the contrary, he was all attention to everybody. By nature inoffensive, friendly,
and obliging, his presentation at St. James's had made him courteous.
2. He was quite young, wonderfully handsome, extremely agreeable, and, to crown the whole, he meant to be at the next assembly with a large
party. Nothing could be more delightful! To be fond of dancing was a certain step towards falling in love, and very lively hopes of Mr. Bingley's
heart were entertained. "If I can but see one of my daughters happily settled at Netherfield," said Mrs. Bennet to her husband, "and all the
others equally well married, I shall have nothing to wish for."
