Du bist nicht zufällig ein klein wenig pingelig?
Ok, hab´s gefunden: 10 Jahre. (Na gut, doch länger, als ich gedacht hatte.)

Da die Quelle zweifelsfrei ist, mache ich mal gleich weiter, ok?

Her custom of following her creations outside the printed pages enables us to say that the word swept aside unread by Jane Fairfax was 'pardon'; and that the Knightleys' exclusion from Donwell was ended by the death of Mr. Woodhouse in two years' time. According to a less well-known tradition, Jane Fairfax survived her elevation only nine or ten years. Whether the John Knightleys afterwards settled at Hartfield, and whether Frank Churchill married again, may be legitimate subjects for speculation.

Künftig werde ich jede Antwort mit Quellenangabe: Autor, Titel, Erscheinungsjahr und -ort, Verlag, Seitenzahl, ggf. Übersetzer angeben oder jedenfalls a.a.O. schreiben....

"Not go to town!" cried Mrs. Palmer, with a laugh; "I shall be quite disappointed if you do not. I could get the nicest house in world for you, next door to ours, in Hanover Square. You must come, indeed. I am sure I shall be very happy to chaperon you at any time till I am confined, if Mrs. Dashwood should not like to go into public."

I was very well pleased (pray tell Fanny) with a small portrait of Mrs. Bingley, excessively like her. I went in hopes of seeing one of her sister, but there was no Mrs. Darcy. Perhaps I may find her in the great exhibition, which we shall go to if we have time. Mrs. Bingley’s is exactly like herself, – size, shaped face, features and sweetness; there never was a greater likeness. She is dressed in a white gown, with green ornaments, which convinces me of what I had always supposed, that green was a favorite color with her. I dare say Mrs. D. will be in yellow.“

I can only imagine that Mr. D. prizes any picture of her too much to like it should be exposed to the public eye.
