Quotation from: Emma

Written by: Jane Austen


She pondered, but could think of nothing. After a mutual silence
of some minutes, Harriet thus began again--


"I do so wonder, Miss Woodhouse, that you should not be married,
or going to be married! so charming as you are!"--


Emma laughed, and replied,


"My being charming, Harriet, is not quite enough to induce me to marry;
I must find other people charming--one other person at least.
And I am not only, not going to be married, at present, but have
very little intention of ever marrying at all."
