And while the abilities of the nine-hundredth abridger of the History of England, or of the man who collects and publishes in a volume some dozen lines of Milton, and a chapter from Sterne, are eulogized by a thousand pens—there seems almost a general wish of decrying the capacity and undervaluing the labour of the novelist, and of slighting the performances which have only genius, wit, and taste to recommend them.

Persuasion is the most romantic, but this one is the most fun?

“If there is a good fortune on one side, there can be no occasion for any on the other. No matter which has it, so that there is enough. I hate the idea of one great fortune looking out for another. And to marry for money I think the wickedest thing in existence.”
I thought Lizzy got hots for Darcy sometime after she saw his house. And then he saved her family… with his money. Also, “No matter which has it”?Rly?

Where people wish to attach, they should always be ignorant. To come with a well-informed mind is to come with an inability of administering to the vanity of others, which a sensible person would always wish to avoid. A woman especially, if she have the misfortune of knowing anything, should conceal it as well as she can.

No… just by myself, a bunch of people on youtube recommended it as a fall book, and I see I gave it 2 stars and remember absolutely nothing about it. So I was curious 🙂
A fall book? That's a new one, I wouldn't have thought of it as such. I read it as a light comedy of manners a la Heyer, and enjoyed if as such but it's floof. :)

I just want them to pack and leave!
