On his two younger sisters he then bestowed an equal portion of his fraternal tenderness, for he asked each of them how they did, and observed that they both looked very ugly.
Jane Austen
Far be it from me, my dear sister, to depreciate such pleasures. They would doubtless be congenial with the generality of female minds. But I confess they would have no charms for me. I should infinitely prefer a book.
Jane Austen
A very short trial convinced her that a curricle was the prettiest equipage in the world.
Jane Austen
A person who can write a long letter with ease, cannot write ill.
Jane Austen
