Pride and Prejudice

by Jane Austen

"Nothing is more deceitful," said Darcy, "than the appearance of humility. It is often only carelessness of opinion, and sometimes an indirect boast."

To his wife he was very little otherwise indebted, than as her ignorance and folly had contributed to his amusement.

She was humbled, she was grieved; she repented, though she hardly knew of what.
