The chances of finding happiness in the end are slim to none. Many people miss the right person, and they can't find it again. Pretending to punish you is actually punishing yourself. Jane has always liked the stories of young women in literature and art. I like this story because it fits my view of love too much, it always says that time heals everything. However, the feelings that can be healed are not profound. Maybe, I can't be with the destined person in the end, but he will always be in my heart, and that friendship will never change. If you really like it, you must be brave and have firm belief! People who like it very much, many additional things are not worth considering. Tragically, the hardest part is finding someone you really like!

Sir Walter Elliot: Come, come, Anne! We must not be late. You cannot have forgotten we have an invitation from Lady Dalrymple.
Anne Elliot: I regret I am already engaged to spend the evening with an old school-friend.
Elizabeth Elliot: Not that sickly old widow in Westgate-buildings?
Anne Elliot: Mrs Smith. Yes.
Sir Walter Elliot: Smith? Westgate building?
Mrs. Clay: Excuse me.
Sir Walter Elliot: And who, pray, is Mrs Smith? One of the five thousand Smiths that are everywhere to be met with? Upon my word, Miss Anne Elliot, you have the most extraordinary taste. To place such a person ahead of your own family connections among the nobility of England and Ireland. Mrs Smith!
Anne Elliot: Perhaps she is not the only poor widow in Bath with little to live on and no surname of dignity. Good evening.

Captain Wentworth: Miss Elliot, I can bear this no longer. You pierce my soul. I'm half agony, half hope. Unjust I may have been. Weak and resentful I have been, but never inconstant. I offer myself to you again with a heart even more your own than when you almost broke it eight years ago.
