"After wandering along the lane for two hours, giving way to every variety of thought, re-considering events, determining probabilities, and reconciling herself, as well as she could, to a change so sudden and so important, fatigue, and a recollection of her long absence made her at length return home; and she entered the house with the wish of appearing cheerful as usual, and the resolution of repressing such reflections as must make her unfit for conversation."
--Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice
Poor Elizabeth...and poor Mr. Darcy, too. If only she had fallen for the dreadful Mr. Collins...hahaha! I love Jane Austin's works and knew exactly in what part of the book this came from, Kindred. Amazing how much we have in common!
