"What do you think of this sentence, my dear Lizzy?" said Jane as she finished [the letter]. "Is it not clear enough? Does it not expressly declare that Caroline neither expects nor wishes me to be her sister; that she is perfectly convinced of her brother's indifference; and that if she suspects the nature of my feelings for him, she means (most kindly!) to put me on my guard?"
--Pride and Prejudice (Jane Austen, 1813), Chapter 21
