Next week I shall begin my operations on my hat, on which you know my principal hopes of happiness depend. - Jane Austen

We do not look in great cities for our best morality.

His having been in love with the aunt gives Cecilia an additional interest with him. I like the idea — a very proper compliment to an aunt! I rather imagine indeed that nieces are seldom chosen but out of compliment to some aunt or another. I daresay Ben [Anna's husband] was in love with me once, and would never have thought of you if he had not supposed me dead of scarlet fever.

Do not let the behavior of others destroy your inner peace.
