May as well be single

Argh — yesterday was a rough Lyme day. I’m afraid against my best intentions this has become the occasionally-daily Austen quote. Happy Friday the 13th!

“Miss Blachford is married, but I have never seen it in the Papers. And one may as well be single if the Wedding is not to be in print.”

    I didn’t even know it was Fri. the 13th! I was in the ER with a severe migraine. Sorry your having a hard time with the Lyme disease, it cannot be easy. Quote away. Complain away. Jane wouldn’t have it any other way!
    Blessings,
