slow-paced

Persuasion might be my favorite Jane Austen novel. I love the characters and the way the story unfolds. This time Mrs Smith's account of her marriage and Mr Elliot stood out to me. I was just as foolish at that age and also lived to regret my marriage.

"you pierce my soul. I am half agony, half hope."
"I offer myself to you again with a heart even more your own than when you almost broke it, eight years and a half ago."
"for you alone, I think and plan. have you not seen this?"

there goes Jane Austen making me feel things again.
