I am currently tormented not only by the toothache but by my inability to remember a quotation about Jane Austen; it's about the limitations of her novels (no exotic locations, dashing soldiers the most exotic characters and those not in action, love barely beyond the temperature of liking, most startling incidents are falls and imprudent marriages - and still considered among the greatest novels in her language not just of her period but of any period). I can't remember enough of the exact wording to find it! Anyone?
