Till now, I could not have supposed it possible to be mistaken as to a girl's being out or not. A girl not out, has always the same sort of dress: a close bonnet, for instance; looks very demure, and never says a word.

The most objectionable part is, that the alteration of manners on being introduced into company is frequently too... Jane Austen
