Jane Austen

“I have always heard of Lady Russell, as a woman of the greatest influence with every body! I always look upon her as able to persuade a person to do any thing! I am afraid of her, as I have told you before, quite afraid of her, because she is so very clever; but I respect her amazingly, and I wish we had such a neighbor at Uppercross.”

Jane Austen, Persuasion
