There are few people in England, I suppose, who have more true enjoyment of music than myself, or a better natural taste.
Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice, chapter 31.
The passage it comes from
The quotation is marked in the paragraph it sits in, with the prose either side of it for company.
"We were talking of music, madam," said he, when no longer able to avoid a reply.
"Of music! Then pray speak aloud. It is of all subjects my delight. I must have my share in the conversation, if you are speaking of music. There are few people in England, I suppose, who have more true enjoyment of music than myself, or a better natural taste. If I had ever learnt, I should have been a great proficient. And so would Anne, if her health had allowed her to apply. I am confident that she would have performed delightfully. How does Georgiana get on, Darcy?"
Mr. Darcy spoke with affectionate praise of his sister's proficiency.
