“If I loved you less, I might be able to talk about it more. But you know what I am.—You hear nothing but truth from me.—I have blamed you, and lectured you, and you have borne it as no other woman in England would have borne it.—Bear with the truths I would tell you now, dearest Emma, as well as you have borne with them. The manner, perhaps, may have as little to recommend them. God knows, I have been a very indifferent lover.—But you understand me.—Yes, you see, you understand my feelings—and will return them if you can. At present, I ask only to hear, once to hear your voice.”

Emma drives me up a wall at times, but I do love her by the end and the story is such a comfort read!

message 1: by Bjørn (new)

Bjørn Argh, I keep forgetting to read Emma!

Me and Jane Austen, always:
1. “I WILL read ‘Sense and Sensibility’ this time.”
2. *gets lost among the many many names*
3. *re-reads ‘Pride and Prejudice’*
4. *finishes* “Well, next time I will definitely read ‘Sense and Sensibility’…”
