More from Jane Austen
One half of the world cannot understand the pleasures of the other.
Emma (1815)In context- “Lady Susan”, Letter XXXII (1871)
She was a woman of mean understanding, little information, and uncertain temper. When she was discontented she fancied herself nervous. The business of her life was to get her daughters married; its solace was visiting and news.
