Stents ourselves, unequal to anything and unwelcome to everybody." She seems to like people rather too easily." Of her own works, or rather of the characters of her own creation, her Elizabeths and Emmas, Jane speaks literally as a parent. They are her "dear children." This is said in pure playfulness; there is nothing in the letters like real egotism or impatience of censure.
