Sentegrams

These sentences, taken from English literature, have been jumbled up like an anagram; see if you can piece them back together.

Introduction

The sentences below, taken from well-known authors, have been jumbled up. See if you can restore them to their original order, with appropriate punctuation. Just as the word ‘listen’ can make meaningless anagrams (ilnets) and also meaningful ones (tinsel, silent, enlist), so also these jumbled sentences could make more than one intelligible sentence — but which one did our author write?
