If this man had not twelve thousand a year, he would be a very stupid fellow.
Jane Austen

I . . . am always half afraid of finding a clever novel too clever--& of finding my own story & my own people all forestalled.
Jane Austen
Image
An unhappy alternative is before you, Elizabeth. From this day you must be a stranger to one of your parents. Your mother will never see you again if you do not marry Mr. Collins, and I will never see you again if you do.
