Mount Austen

Famous quotes containing the words mount and/or austen:

    I mount the steps and ring the bell, turning
    Wearily, as one would turn to nod good-bye to Rochefoucauld,
    If the street were time and he at the end of the street,
    And I say, “Cousin Harriet, here is the Boston Evening Transcript.”
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    We are to have a tiny party here tonight; I hate tiny
    parties—they force one into constant exertion.
    —Jane Austen (1775–1817)
