mlflickinger 's review for:
Persuasion
by Jane Austen
Anne and Frederick don’t speak to each other very often in this love story, but one scene in particular toward the end made me smile because it is the first moment of honest conversation where they acknowledge their former romance.
“You have not been long enough in Bath,” said he, “ to enjoy the evening parties of the place.”
“Oh! No. The usual character of them has nothing for me. I am no card-player.”
“You were not formerly, I know. You did not used to like cards; but time makes many changes.”
“I am not yes so much changed,” cried Anne, and stopped, fearing de hardly knew what misconstruction. After waiting a few moments he said- and as if it were the result of immediate feeling- “It is a period, indeed! Eight years and a half is a period!”
