The great goodness of being in love

Of Mr. Weston’s first marriage:

“She had a husband whose warm heart and sweet temper made him think every thing due to her in return for the great goodness of being in love with him.”

Lucky woman!

Emma, volume 1, chapter 2

    This isn’t really about today’s post, but are you going to blog about The Complete Jane Austen on PBS? I’ve been checking out the website, pbs.org/janeausten.

    I am planning to blog about that — actually, hoping to coordinate the daily quotes with their broadcast schedule, but I’ve been unable to actually *find* a schedule. Has anyone seen it?
