1813 January 27, [Jane Austen ], chapter III, in Pride and Prejudice: [ … ] [ … ] [ George Sidney] for T[ homas] Egerton , [ … ] →OCLC pages 60–61 :“For my own part,” she rejoined, “I must confess that I never could see any beauty in her. Her face is too thin; her complexion has no brilliancy; and her features are not at all handsome. Her nose wants character; there is nothing marked in its lines. Her teeth are tolerable, but not out of the common way; and as for her eyes, which have sometimes been called so fine, I never could perceive any thing extraordinary. They have a sharp, shrewish look, which I do not like at all; and in her air altogether, there is a self-sufficiency without fashion, which is intolerable.”
