I LOVE that passage!
People seem to still need to hear this today.
They do. Some things, apparently, really do never change. (Can you imagine what Austen would have made of the "sort your books by color" or "spines to the wall" fads?)
I wish I could read her take down of that, lol. Sort by color I side-eye but spines to the wall makes me want to pick up my sword and shield.
I'd love to read her take on that, too. Doubtlessly it would be something equally well-bred and scathingly ironic!
