I must learn to read Jane Austen with caution. For if I do not, I shall surely end up an old maid.
Darcy is distressed because Lizzy is distressed.
But seriously, Darcy. Kissing your sleeve will not make things better.
I re-read Jane Austen’s Persuasion last night.
It was impossible to think that I could actually fall more in love with this book — or any book, for that matter — than I did three years back, when I first read it. Again, I was proven wrong by the genius of Miss Austen.
I am my 13-year-old lovesick self again.
