Tom LeFroY

Thomas Langlois Lefroy (8 January 1776 – 4 May 1869) was an Irish politician and judge.
He was the eldest son of Colonel Anthony Peter Lefroy of Limerick and Anne Gardiner. According to the de-functioned website of Carrigglas Manor (Tom Lefroy’s house in Longford, Ireland), the Lefroy family came from the town of Cambrai in North Western corner of France.
They were Huguenot family, and one of their heads of the family, the Lord L'Offroy, died at the Battle of Agincourt in 1415.
Some favorite quotes from "Becoming Jane"
Sometimes affection is a shy flower that takes time to blosson. - Mr. Wisley
Swifts on a fine morning in May, flying this way, that way, sailing around at a great height perfectly happily. Then one leaps onto the back of another, grasps tightly, and forgetting to fly they both sink down and down in a great, dying fall. Fathom after fathom until the female utters a loud, piercing cry of ecstary. - Tom LeFroy
I know a great deal about the world. And I must say enough to know that your horizons must be... widened by an extraordinary young man. - Tom LeFroy
What value will there be in life if we are not together? - Tom Lefroy
As to fortune, a young woman might depend upon herself. - Jane Austen
My characters shall have, after a little trouble, all that they desire. - Jane Austen

Tom Lefroy: I am yours, heart and soul. Much good that is. Jane Austen: Let me decide that.
Tom LeFroy: You dance with passion. Jane Austen: No sensible woman would demonstrate passion, if the purpose were to attract a husband. Tom LeFroy: As opposed to a lover?
Tom LeFroy: I think that you, Miss Austen, consider yourself a cut above the company. Jane Austen: Me? Tom LeFroy: You, ma'am. Secretly.
Tom LeFroy: How can you, of all people, dispose of yourself without affection? Jane Austen: How can I dispose of myself with it?
A game of cricket.
