But a beautiful testament

But a beautiful testament Written by helena6 (9/27/2005 4:52 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, That passage..., penned by Emmeline

It's contrast is so wonderful. The is the wretchedness of being ignored, but also the youthful joy of being admired.

In that little passage I feel all of Wentworth's admiration shining on her and all that it was worth to Anne as a person.

It's beautiful and wretched at the same time. Just when I think I'm disasstified with the novel, Austen outdoes herself and I'm back in!
