Quotation from: Sense and Sensibility

Written by: Jane Austen


After a short silence which succeeded the first
surprise and enquiries of meeting, Marianne asked
Edward if he came directly from London. No, he had
been in Devonshire a fortnight.


"A fortnight!" she repeated, surprised at his being
so long in the same county with Elinor without seeing
her before.


He looked rather distressed as he added, that he
had been staying with some friends near Plymouth.
