Jane Austen

I am very fond of tea and books.

I have been listening to some very dull music, and have just been relieved by the entrance of a fat lady.

I have just finished the first volume of 'Mansfield Park,' and am very much pleased with it. I think it is a very clever book.

I am not at all in love with the hero, but I very much approve of him.

I have just returned from a visit to some friends, where I was very well entertained, and had a good deal of dancing.

I am not able to write as fast as I could wish, and I am afraid I shall never be able to finish my novel.

I am quite determined to be happy, and to make every one else so if I can.

I am very much pleased with my own performance, and I think I have done very well.

I have been so much used to write, that I cannot help it.

I am not at all disposed to think ill of any body, for I believe there is a great deal of good in every human being.

I am quite determined to have a good laugh, come what may.

I am not at all disposed to think myself a very elegant writer.

I have been thinking a good deal about you, and wishing you were here, that we might talk over the wedding.

I am quite aware that a mind like mine, must of course, be a little eccentric.

I consider a country life as a very happy one; and I think it is the most natural life for a woman.

I have just been reading a very stupid book, which I am glad I have finished.

I am not at all a good hand at a letter, and am always in a hurry when I write.

I am quite convinced that I shall never be married.

I am not at all a fine lady.

I have been so much amused with this place, that I have hardly known how to leave it.
