"misery such as mine has no pride. I care not who knows that I am wretched. The triumph of seeing me so may be open to all the world. Elinor, Elinor, they who suffer little may be proud and independent as they like—may resist insult, or return mortification—but I cannot. I must feel—I must be wretched."

"the Miss Steeles returned to the Park, and Elinor was then at liberty to think and be wretched." 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
