The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen: YOUR good sense, to be so honestly blind to the follies and
nonsense of others! Affectation of candour is common enough--
one meets with it everywhere. But to be candid without
ostentation or design-- to take the good of everybody's
character and make it still better, and say nothing of the bad--
belongs to you alone. And so you like this man's sisters, too, do
you? Their manners are not equal to his."
"Certainly not-- at first. But they are very pleasing women when
you converse with them. Miss Bingley is to live with her
brother, and keep his house; and I am much mistaken if we shall
not find a very charming neighbour in her."
