About This Quote

"Jessica, you are a pain in the arse, do you know that? If I were not so immensely fond of you, I should throw you out the window." She wrapped her arms about his waist and laid her head against his chest. "Not merely 'fond,' but 'immensely fond.' Oh Dain, I do believe I shall swoon.""Not now," he said crossly. "I haven't time to pick you up." This is a quote from the most popular romance novel, "Pride and Prejudice", Chapter 18 called "Lady Catherine de Bourgh's Letter". At first, Lady Catherine assumes that Elizabeth is nothing more than a silly girl who is only tolerating her because she has been forced to give her a formal introduction by her father.

She begins to describe Elizabeth as a “pain in the arse” and a “bore”. But as the scene progresses, we learn that Lady Catherine is wrong about Elizabeth. Elizabeth is not just some silly girl who enjoys being treated as inferior because she has been forced into giving an introduction to someone of higher class.

She is a young lady whose character is strong enough to rise above her situation and prove Lady Catherine wrong about who she really is.
