Quotation from: Emma

Written by: Jane Austen


An arch look expressed--"I understand you well enough;" but she
said only, "Miss Fairfax is reserved."


"I always told you she was--a little; but you will soon overcome
all that part of her reserve which ought to be overcome, all that
has its foundation in diffidence. What arises from discretion
must be honoured."


"You think her diffident. I do not see it."
