~~Tea with Jane~~

Jane Austen would love to have tea with you and while she was not a chatterbox, she did enjoy good conversation with the right people.
 
"The person, be it gentleman or lady, who has not
pleasure in a good novel, must be intolerably  stupid."

 "I do not want people to be very agreeable, as it saves me the trouble of liking them a great deal."

"There is nothing I would not do for those who are really my friends. I have no notion of loving people by halves, it is not my nature." 

     "A lady's imagination is very rapid; it jumps from admiration to love, from love to matrimony in a moment."

"Ah! There is nothing like staying at home, for real comfort."

Jane Austen
"I always deserve the best treatment because I do not put up with any other." Emma by Jane Austen

"I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library."

 "If I loved you less I might be able to talk about it more."   
  
"I was quiet, but I was not blind"
   
"It is always incomprehensible to a man that a woman should ever refuse an offer of marriage""
 
"We all have a better guide in ourselves, if we would attend to it, than any other person can be."
—Jane Austen
Annie
