Quotation from: Sense and Sensibility

Written by: Jane Austen


"Perhaps," said Elinor, smiling, "we may come
to the same point. YOUR competence and MY wealth
are very much alike, I dare say; and without them,
as the world goes now, we shall both agree that every
kind of external comfort must be wanting. Your ideas
are only more noble than mine. Come, what is your competence?"


"About eighteen hundred or two thousand a year;
not more than THAT."
