NO JANE DON'T DO IT PLEASE BY GOD JANE

I hope this isn't going where I think it is, Jane

"If any one faculty of our nature may be called more wonderful than the rest, I do think it is memory. There seems something more speakingly incomprehensible in the powers, the failures, the inequalities of memory, than in any other of our intelligences. The memory is sometimes so retentive, so serviceable, so obedient-- at others, so bewildered and so weak--and at others again, so tyrannic, so beyond controul!"

Fanny, ... was equally forlorn, finding something to fear in every person and place...

... and she crept about in constant terror of something or other; often retreating towards her own chamber to cry; and the little girl who was spoken of in the drawing-room when she left it at night, as seeming so desirably sensible of her peculiar good fortune, ended every day's sorrows by sobbing herself to sleep.

I will not be stopped.
