How often, in answer to my repeated intreaties that you would give my Daughter a regular detail of the Misfortunes and Adventures of your Life, have you said "No, my freind never will I comply with your request till I may be no longer in Danger of again experiencing such dreadful ones." Surely that time is now at hand. You are this day 55. If a woman may ever be said to be in safety from the determined Perseverance of disagreeable Lovers and the cruel Persecutions of obstinate Fathers, surely it must be at such a time of Life. Isabel - Taken from "Love and Friendship" written by Jane Austen

Jane Austin was exercising her "wordsmith" talents in this book. An excellent read to keep a writer's word choice skills in top form. Also, many phases are noted, that turned up in her later more commercially successful novels. The actual story is rather silly. She used story telling by letters to a friend, in this book. An unusual writing method.
