“Let’s face it, if you don’t love Jane Austen, then you shouldn’t be an English major. That’s mean…you just shouldn’t be a human being.”—

Mr. Collins and Charlotte:

Absent I may have been, busy I have been, but never impolite. A message, a number will be enough to decide whether I return your call this evening or never…”
