Talk:jilt

citations

Can this quote be used for "jilt"?

It is from Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice; not sure if Austen's use of "jilt" makes the definition more or less confusing?

Mr. Bennet treated the matter differently. "So, Lizzy," said he one day, "your sister is crossed in love, I find. I congratulate her. Next to being married, a girl likes to be crossed a little in love now and then. It is something to think of, and it gives her a sort of distinction among her companions. When is your turn to come? You will hardly bear to be long outdone by Jane. Now is your time. Here are officers enough in Meryton to disappoint all the young ladies in the country. Let Wickham be your man. He is a pleasant fellow, and would jilt you creditably.

The passage can be found at wikisource:en:Pride and Prejudice/Chapter 24#214 (paragraph 26 or so), which I believe will help in adding it to citations:jilt. Arlo Barnes (talk) 06:09, 17 January 2020 (UTC)
