Quotation from: Pride and Prejudice

Written by: Jane Austen

sister, to depreciate such pleasures! They would doubtless be
congenial with the generality of female minds. But I confess
they would have no charms for _me_--I should infinitely prefer a
book."


But of this answer Lydia heard not a word. She seldom listened
to anybody for more than half a minute, and never attended to
Mary at all.
