Pardon me—but you will be limited as to number—only three at once.\" Miss Bates, deceived by the mock ceremony of her manner, did not immediately catch her meaning; but, when it burst on her, it could not anger, though a slight blush shewed that it could pain her.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Jane Austen" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/jane-austen/oh-very-well-exclaimed-miss-bates-then-i-need-not-be-uneasy-three/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/0c6/jane-austen-39_three-things_oh-very-well-exclaimed-miss-bates-then-i_234351.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/0c6/jane-austen-39_three-things_oh-very-well-exclaimed-miss-bates-then-i_234351.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/0c6/jane-austen-39_three-things_oh-very-well-exclaimed-miss-bates-then-i_234351.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“Oh! very well,\" exclaimed Miss Bates, \"then I need not be uneasy.

Her youth had passed without distinction, and her middle of life was devoted to the care of a failing mother, and the endeavour to make a small income go as far as possible.

She loved every body, was interested in every body’s happiness and quick-sighted to every body’s merits; thought herself a most fortunate creature, and surrounded with blessings in such an excellent mother and so many good neighbours and friends, and a home that wanted for nothing. The simplicity and cheerfulness of her nature, her contented and grateful spirit, were a recommendation to every body and a mine of felicity to herself.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Jane Austen" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/jane-austen/miss-bates-had-never-boasted-either-beauty-or-cleverness-her-youth/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/f4f/jane-austen-39_beauty_miss-bates-had-never-boasted-either-beau_442167.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/f4f/jane-austen-39_beauty_miss-bates-had-never-boasted-either-beau_442167.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/f4f/jane-austen-39_beauty_miss-bates-had-never-boasted-either-beau_442167.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“Miss Bates…had never boasted either beauty or cleverness.
