“I certainly must,” said she. “This sensation of listlessness, weariness, stupidity, this disinclination to sit down and employ myself, this feeling of every thing’s being dull and insipid about the house! – I must be in love; I should be the oddest creature in the world if I were not – for a few weeks at least.”
– Jane Austen
