Image
Men have had every advantage of us in telling their own story. Education has been theirs in so much higher a degree the pen has been in their hands. I will not allow books to prove anything.

I love you. Most ardently.
Jane Austen
Image

She had nothing to do but to forgive herself and be happier than ever.
