She was suddenly roused by the sound of the door-bell, and her spirits were a little fluttered by the idea of its being Colonel Fitzwilliam himself, who had once before called late in the evening, and might now come to inquire particularly after her.

He sat down for a few moments, and then getting up, walked about the room. Elizabeth was surprised, but said not a word.

You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you.

Did you know about Jane Austen?
