At my time of life opinions are tolerably fixed. It is not likely that I should now see or hear any thing to change them." 　　 "Marianne is as steadfast as ever, you see," said Elinor, "she is not at all altered." 　　 "She is only grown a little more grave than she was." 　　 "Nay, Edward," said Marianne, "you need not reproach me.

"But gaiety never was a part of my character." 　　 "Nor do I think it a part of Marianne's," said Elinor; "I should hardly call her a lively girl- she is very earnest, very eager in all she does- sometimes talks a great deal, and always with animation- but she is not often really merry." 　　 "I believe you are right," he replied, "and yet I have always set her down as a lively girl."
