Get your Jane on: be devastatingly witty in a gentle tone so no one feels the knife's blade. Who but a genius could invent the delightful Henry Tilney and Elinor Dashwood?
From Austen's pen:
"I will not say that your mulberry-trees are dead, but I am afraid they are not alive."
"People always live forever when there is an annuity to be paid them."
"There are people who the more you do for them, the less they will do for themselves."
"A woman especially, if she have the misfortune of knowing anything, should conceal it as well as she can."
