“The last few hours were certainly very painful. But when pain is over, the remembrance of it often becomes a pleasure. One does not love a place the less for having suffered in it…” Anne Elliot, Persuasion

“You are never to stir out of doors, till you can prove that you have spent ten minutes of every day in a rational manner.” Mr Bennet, Pride and Prejudice
How much of Jane Austen’s novels are drawn from her own experience. Something that perhaps her letters might be able to shade light on.
Happy Sunday to all 🌼
