I'm obviously behind in doing this. I've been particularly busy this weekend and haven't even had time to watch Sunday Night's Masterpiece which was Northanger Abbey. So, I'm throwing out a quote today from that novel, which is not one of Jane's most popular. The heroine Catherine loves reading novels and often lets her imaginations run away because of said novels! Here she is...
"Only a novel"... in short, only some work in which the greatest powers of the mind are displayed, in which the most thorough knowledge of human nature, the happiest delineation of its varieties, the liveliest effusions of wit and humour are conveyed to the world in the best chosen language.
--Northanger Abbey, Jane Austen
