Jane Austen Quotes
I do assure you, Sir, that I have no pretension whatever of that kind of elegance which consists in tormenting a respectable man. I would rather be paid the compliment of being believed sincere.

Do not consider me now as an elegant female intending to plague you, but as a rational creature speaking the truth from her heart.
