"Mr. Elliot was rational, discreet, polished - but he was not open. There was never any burst of feeling, any warmth of indignation or delight, at the evil or good of others. This, to Anne, was a decided imperfection."

I think Austen's books make good guides for dating, honestly.

It's interesting, but this being my last Austen novel to read, I've found Anne the most relatable heroine - at least for me.
