“…Elizabeth, agitated and confused, rather knew that she was happy, than felt herself to be so…”

“…it was rather because she felt less happy than she had expected.  She laughed because she was disappointed…”

“Such a letter was not to be soon recovered from. . . . Every moment rather brought fresh agitation. It was an overpowering happiness.”

“She was happy, she knew she was happy, and knew she ought to be happy.”

“She was feeling, thinking, trembling about everything; agitated, happy, miserable, infinitely obliged, absolutely angry.”

“She had received ideas which disposed her to be courteous and kind to all, and to pity every one, as being less happy than herself.”

“She knew that when she played she was giving pleasure only to herself; but this was no new sensation”
