I am perfectly satisfied, from what his manners now are, that he never had any design of engaging my affection.
Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice, chapter 54.
The passage it comes from
The quotation is marked in the paragraph it sits in, with the prose either side of it for company.
Elizabeth smiled.
"Lizzy, you must not do so. You must not suspect me. It mortifies me. I assure you that I have now learnt to enjoy his conversation as an agreeable and sensible young man without having a wish beyond it. I am perfectly satisfied, from what his manners now are, that he never had any design of engaging my affection. It is only that he is blessed with greater sweetness of address, and a stronger desire of generally pleasing, than any other man."
"You are very cruel," said her sister, "you will not let me smile, and are provoking me to it every moment."
Text from the Project Gutenberg edition, which is in the public domain in the United States.
