Life: XLIV
The show is not the show,
But they that go.
Menagerie to me
My neighbor be.
Fair play -

...she is, in fact, a beautiful girl... and till it appears that men are much more philosophic on the subject of beauty than they are generally supposed, till they do fall in love with well informed minds instead of handsome faces, a girl, with such loveliness... has a certainty of being admired and sought after.
- Emma
Mother must be jealous, because she of all beings worships Jane Austen.
