Betsy,
I just recalled a line from the Pride and Prejudice move (the A&E version).
I quote the movie rather than the book because I don't have a copy at hand.
Jane and Elizabeth are discussing Charlotte's choice to marry Mr. Collins
and Elizabeth is very upset with her friend. At whice point Jane tells
her "Not everyone is the same, Lizzie!" I think that is always a good thing
to remember.
