“To take the good of everybody’s character and make it still better, and say nothing of the bad-belongs to you alone.”

Pride and Prejudice, volume 1, chapter 4
I have friends like this, but I think I am really much more of a Lizzy.
I am not so good…

I am more like Lizzy too! 🙂
I could only hope to be the middle ground between the Jane who never thinks ill of anybody and the beginning-Lizzy who was so stubborn and prejudiced about first impressions…like the Lizzy after her transformation.
But that’s what I hope. Really I think I’m a bit of all three at times.
