Jane AustenWhen he was gone, they were certain at least of receiving constant information of what was going on, and their uncle promised, at parting, to prevail on Mr. Bennet to return to Longbourn, as soon as he could, to the great consolation of his sister, who considered it as the only security for her husband's not being killed in a duel.
Jane AustenEs wäre denkbar, dass der Mensch ganz ohne Tanz auskommt.
Man kennt Beispiele von jungen Leuteb, die viele, viele Monate lang keinerlei Tanzereimitgemacht haben, ohne, dass ihnen daraus greufbarer Schaden an Leib und Seele erwachsen wäre; Ist aber einmal der Anfang gemacht, hat man nur ein Mal - sei's auch nur flüchtig - die Seeligkeit beschwingter Bewegung erlebt, so muss einer schon ein recht schwerblütiger Tropfsein, wenn ihn nicht nach mehr verlangt.

Jane AustenShe played a great deal better than either of the Miss Musgroves; but having no voice, no knowledge of the harp, and no fond parents to sit by and fancy themselves delighted, her performance was little thought of, only out of civility, or to refresh the others, as she was well aware. She knew that when she played she was giving pleasure only to herself; but this was no new sensation: excepting one short period of her life, she had never, since the age of fourteen, never since the loss of her dear mother, know the happiness of being listened to, or encouraged by any just appreciation or real taste. In music she had been always used to feel alone in the world; and Mr. and Mrs. Musgrove's fond partiality for their own daughters' performance, and total indifference to any other person's, gave her much more pleasure for their sakes, than mortification for her own.
