Letter #2, To Cassandra, from Steventon, “Friday – At length the Day is come on which I am to flirt my last with Tom Lefroy, & when you receive this it will be over ----My tears flow as I write, at the melancholy idea” – Jane Austen, Friday 15 January 1796
There is not really too much to say about this entry. She says it all, does she not? But, I cannot help but wonder, what happened between Thursday, when she was expecting an offer from Mr. Lefroy and Friday when she was crying because he would be leaving.
"Life is Short... Break the Rules, Forgive Quickly, Kiss Slowly, Love Truly, Laugh Uncontrollably, And Never Regret Anything that Made You Smile! Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you did not do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines, Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." - Mark Twain
