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.

An unusual writing method.
