"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 could never see anything extraordinary in them. 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."
– Pour ma part, répliqua miss Bingley, j’avoue que je n’ai jamais pu découvrir chez elle le moindre attrait ; elle a le visage trop mince, le teint sans éclat, ses traits n’ont aucune beauté, son nez manque de caractere, et quant a ses yeux que j’ai entendu parfois tellement vanter, je ne leur trouve rien d’extraordinaire ; ils ont un regard perçant et désagréable que je n’aime pas du tout, et toute sa personne respire une suffisance intolérable.
