I’ve been reading #MansfieldPark which, I won’t deny, is not without challenges. However, Austen can do wonders with a sentence. I loved this one. “Too soon did she find herself at the drawing-room door, and after pausing a moment for what she knew would not come, for a courage which the outside of no door had ever supplied to her, she turned the lock in desperation, and the lights of the drawing-room and all the collected family were before her.” “for a courage which the outside of no door had ever supplied to her” is wonderful. #JaneAusten
