  1. I love guessing quotes! :) I'm pretty certain the first is Elizabeth, the second is Mr. Darcy and the last is Jane. Pride & Prejudice is one of my favourite books, and I have read the book and watched the adaptations countless times - it really would be rather embarrassing if I was wrong!

  2. Oh, I love quotes!
    The first one is Elizabeth Bennet, when she and Charlotte Lucas were talking about Mr Bingley and Jane. The second is Mr. Darcy, when Caroline Bingley was teasing him after he said he was admiring Lizzy.
    The third is Jane, but I can't remember the context. :-/

  4. Just a bit unsure about the last quote. It could be Jane Bennet.
