She paid two long visits here during the last five years of the eighteenth century and from 1801 to 1806, Bath
was her home. Her deep knowledge of the city is fully seen in two of her novels, Northanger Abbey and
Persuasion, which are largely set in Bath. The city is still very much as Jane Austen knew it, keeping in its
streets and public buildings the well-ordered world that she described so well in her novels. Now the pleasure
of learning Jane Austen"s Bath can be enhanced (增强) by visiting the Jane Austen Centre in Gay Street. Here,
in a Georgian town house in the heart of the city, you can find out more about Bath in Jane Austen"s time and
the importance of Bath in her life and work.
The Centre has been set up with the help and guidance of members of the Jane Austen Society. After your
visit to the Centre, you can look round the attractive shop, which offers a huge collection of Jane Austen
related books, cards and many specially designed gifts. Jane Austen quizzes are offered to keep the children
busy.

his plan for the future. "I"m going to college, but I need a way to pay for it," Deluca recalls saying. Buck said,
"you should open a sandwich shop."
That afternoon, they agreed to be partners. And they set a goal: to open 32 stores in ten years. After doing
some research, Buck wrote a check for $ 1,000. Deluca rented a storefront (店面) in Connecticut, and when
they couldn"t cover their start-up costs, Buck kicked in another $1,000.
But business didn"t go smoothly as they expected. Deluca says, "After six months, we were doing poorly,
but we didn"t know how badly, because we didn"t have any financial controls." All he and Buck knew was that
their sales were lower than their costs.
Deluca was managing the store and to the University of Bridgeport at the same time. Buck was working at
his day job as a nuclear physicist in New York. They"d meet Monday evenings and brainstorm ideas for keeping
the business running. "We convinced ourselves to open a second store. We figured we could tell the public, We are so successful, we are opening a second store."" And they did-in the spring of 1966. Still, it was a lot
of learning by trial and error (反复摸索).
But the partners" learn-as-you-go approach turned out to be their greatest strength. Every Friday, Deluca
would drive around and hand-deliver the checks to pay their suppliers. "It probably took me two and a half
hours and it wasn"t necessary but as a result, the suppliers got to know me very well, and the personal
relationships established really helped out," Deluca says.
And having a goal was also important. "There are so many problems that can get you down. You just have
to keep working toward your goal," Deluca adds.
