Miss Bennet, I have struggled in vain but I can bear it no longer...The past months have been a torment...I came to Rosings with the single object of seeing you...I had to see you. I've fought against my better judgement, my family's expectation. . .The inferiority of your birth. . .My rank and circumstance...All those things...But I'm willing to put them aside...And ask you to end my agony...I love you. Most ardently.  Please do me the honour of accepting my hand." - Mr. Darcy in the 2005 Pride & Prejudice

Stonehenge 2:30 tour
Archaeologists believe that Stonehenge was constructed from around 3000 BC to 2000 BC.  One of the most famous landmarks in the United Kingdom, Stonehenge is regarded as a British cultural icon.  Stonehenge could have been a burial ground from its earliest beginnings.  Deposits containing human bone date from as early as 3000 BC
