♥ J.A.

"Her brother was not handsome: no, when they first saw him he was absolutely plain, black and plain; but still he was the gentleman, with a pleasing address. The second meeting proved him not so very plain: he was plain, to be sure, but then he had so much countenance, and his teeth were so good, and he was so well made, that one soon forgot he was plain; and after a third interview, after dining in company with him at the Parsonage, he was no longer allowed to be called so by anybody. He was, in fact, the most agreeable young man the sisters had ever known, and they were equally delighted with him. Miss Bertram's engagement made him in equity the property of Julia, of which Julia was fully aware; and before he had been at Mansfield a week she was quite ready to be fallen in love with."

"My dear sister,"said Mary, "if you can persuade him into anything of the sort, it will be a fresh matter of delight to me to find myself allied to anybody so clever, and I shall only regret that you have not a half-a-dozen daughters to dispose of. If you can persuade Henry to marry, you must have the address of a Frenchwoman. All that English abilities can do has been tried already. I have three very particular friends who have been all dying for him in their turn; and the pains which they, their mothers (very clever women), as well as my dear aunt and myself, have taken to reason, coax, trick him into marrying, is inconceivable! He is the most horrible flirt that can be imagined. If your Miss Bertrams do not like their hearts broken, let them avoid Henry."

Actually, in the novel the second dialoge has happened before the first one; but I have preferred to write it down in this exact order because of reasons only I know (or not even I myself). And the situation with the reason of why I have written this down here is exactly the same: just.

Or not. If you really beg me maybe I can tell you what it was... ;)

It's just that I have totally fallen in love with the style of Jane Austen, and that her book I find compelling; I can only wish that one day in the future my English will be close enough to something like hers. 

(nagyon remélem sikerült összehoznom a stílust, amit akartam xD)
