“What made you so shy of me, when you first called, and afterwards dined here? Why, especially, when you called, did you look as if you did not care about me?"

"Because you were grave and silent, and gave me no encouragement."

"But I was embarrassed."

"And so was I."

"You might have talked to me more when you came to dinner."

"A man who had felt less, might.”
― Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice

“When left alone with her, I ignored her and kept my eyes on my book, though I confess I turned over more pages than I read.”

― Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice
