See Mr. Bennett.
See Mr. Bennett read a book.
Mr. Bennett is in his library.
Mr. Bennett has many daughters.
It is very noisy in Mr. Bennett's house.
But it is quiet in the library.
I guess I must have been a child prodigy because I read Austen when I was about 14 and actually understood what I read, in the style it was written.  |
Have you actually bothered to look at the link I posted? This is an adaptation; it's not "dumbed down" in the manner you seem to think it is.
