Why The Pemberley Parlor?

The name, Pemberley, was taken from the novel Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen, which we enjoyed reading! A parlor is an appropriate setting as we want this blog to be a place where ladies and girls, in particular, can be our guests. Our desire is that you would be blessed and God glorified. So, grab a cup of tea and enjoy reading about pertinent topics, and some family news along the way. Welcome to our parlor!

Quotes from the novels of Jane Austen:

"It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife. However little known the feelings or views of such a man may be on his first entering a neighbourhood, this truth is so well fixed in the minds of the surrounding families, that he is considered the rightful property of some one or other of their daughters."
-Pride and Prejudice

"The first error, and the worst, lay at her door. It was foolish, it was wrong, to take so active a part in bringing any two people together. It was adventuring too far, assuming too much, making light of what ought to be serious--a trick of what ought to be simple. She was quite concerned and ashamed, and resolved to do such things no more."
-Emma

"If I was wrong in yielding to persuasion once, remember that it was to persuasion exerted on the side of safety, not of risk. When I yielded, I thought it was to duty; but no duty could be called in aid here. In marrying a man indifferent to me, all risk would have been incurred, and all duty violated."
-Persuasion

"A lady's imagination is very rapid; it jumps from admiration to love, from love to matrimony, in a moment."
-Pride and Prejudice

"...as the clergy are, or are not what they ought to be, so are the rest of the nation."
-Mansfield Park
