Anne Elliot

...Loving longest when all hope is gone.

About Me

I believe myself to be a mature, intelligent, and sensible woman of good character, although I must admit that I sometimes depend too much on the opinion of others. I enjoy nature and simple pleasures and absolutely abhor snobbish, artificial people. I am prudent & like to be helpful whenever I possibly can.

My Interests

"We do not forget you as soon as you forget us. We cannot help ourselves. We live at home, quiet, confined, and our feelings prey upon us. You always have business of some sort or other to take you back into the world... If I may, so long as the woman you love lives, and lives for you, all the privilege I claim for my own sex, and it is not a very great one - you need not covet it, is that of loving longest when all hope is gone."

I'd like to meet:

I am always fond of meeting new acquaintances and forming new freindships.

Music:

I enjoy playing at the pianoforte (especially at the request of Louisa and Henrietta who are terribly fond of dancing) and am also quite partial to Italian arias dedicated to the subject of love.

Movies:

Are these similar to plays? I do enjoy a good play, especially when viewing one in the company of the Musgrove family... they are a very amiable crowd to be with.

Television:


My top result for the SelectSmart.com selector,
What Austen heroine are you? ,
is Anne Elliot

Books:

Any works by a delightful author by the name of Jane Austen. I am quite fond of Fanny Burney and William Cowper as well and enjoy some poetry (but it is important not to have too much Byron in your life).

Heroes:

Lord Nelson and any soul who braves the high seas.
