Mansfield Park by Jane Austen"My dear Miss Price," said Miss Crawford, as soon as she was at all within hearing, "I am come to make my own apologies for keeping you waiting; but I have nothing in the world to say for myself—I knew it was very late, and that I was behaving extremely ill; and therefore, if you please, you must forgive me. Selfishness must always be forgiven, you know, because there is no hope of a cure."
Happy Friday Everybody!

This is one my faves from Jane Austin. Thanks for sharing this :}. Here is mine from Cheryl Dellasega's new Christian fantasy book called, "The Testings of Devotion," which I found to be an accurate depiction of the role of angels as God’s warriors in the ongoing battle between good and evil. It's a very exciting read and kept my interest to the very end:

Its surface was covered with an elaborate network of wiring, and the entire structure revolved slowly, as tiny lights flashed on the surface."
I found you through the book blogger hop. Thank you so much for following me!
ReplyDeleteIt's great! Sounds so logical...

Thanks for dropping by my blog. I'll be a new follower in a minute. I love your header. I need to create a good one.
ReplyDeleteLove Jane Austen! Though I have actually yet to read this one. The only books I own are all Penguin or B&N Classics though; this cover is really pretty. Hope you enjoy! :)
ReplyDeleteHi. I'm stopping in from the hop. Love your blog! The only thing I don't love about Jane Austen is that she wrote so few books! Have a great weekend, Dianne

ReplyDeleteOuch. I'm guessing Miss Crawford doesn't like Miss Price (Fanny). I'm looking forward to watching the movie one day! Need to buy the DVD first.
