"How eloquent could Anne Elliot have been! how eloquent, at least, were her wishes on the side of early warm attachment, and a cheerful confidence in futurity, against that over-anxious caution which seems to insult exertion and distrust Providence! She had been forced into prudence in her youth, she learned romance as she grew older: the natural sequel of an unnatural beginning."

Boy, this is hard to read. I am out of practice for the sentence structure of books from the 1800s. But I hope to get into the rhythm of the prose eventually. This is my first Austen novel.
