Mrs. Musgrove Quotes

Three of the best book quotes from Mrs. Musgrove
01
“There was a momentary expression in Captain Wentworth’s face at this speech, a certain glance of his bright eye, and curl of his handsome mouth, which convinced Anne, that instead of sharing in Mrs Musgrove’s kind wishes, as to her son, he had probably been at some pains to get rid of him;”
Source: Chapter 8, Paragraph 28
02

03
“after all she had gone through, nothing was so likely to do her good as a little quiet cheerfulness at home”
Source: Chapter 14, Paragraph 30
