“No one is useless in this world who lightens the burden of it for anyone else.”
― Our Mutual Friend
― Our Mutual Friend
“It is a long way to Ireland, Janet, and I am sorry to send my little friend on such weary travels: but if I can't do better, how is it to be helped? Are you anything akin to me, do you think, Jane?"
I could risk no sort of answer by this time: my heart was still.
"Because, he said, "I sometimes have a queer feeling with regard to you - especially when you are near me, as now: it is as if I had a string somewhere under my left ribs, tightly and inextricably knotted to a similar string situated in the corresponding quarter of your little frame. And if that boisterous channel, and two hundred miles or so of land some broad between us, I am afraid that cord of communion will be snapt; and then I've a nervous notion I should take to bleeding inwardly. As for you, - you'd forget me.”
― Jane Eyre

Just you! :)It does take a little getting used to, but I love GR and find it the best social networking site, bar none.
Enjoy....

Take care
Martin
Hi Jane,Thanks for befriending this fellow Goodreads author!
- Beth
Thanks for the comment about Intimations of Austen--so glad you enjoyed my stories! They were truly a labor of love.
Thanks for accepting my friend request. I enjoyed your book very much! I loved the compilation of different Austen characters and books, as well as, the original ideas and stories you created.
