Becoming Jane quote?

Question

Heya everyone! I was wondering if you could help me find a Becoming Jane quote. She writes and says insults about Tom before sighing and saying: 'Too many adjectives' and taking out her scissors. Can anyone find the full quote?

Answer 1

And, even more than she wants affection, Jane wants to write. Screenwriters Kevin Wood and Sarah Williams depict Austen's literary bent through dialog showing both a facility for and love of language: Bolstering the spirits of her sister Cassandra (Anna Maxwell martin) before a dinner party with Cassandra's fiancée, Jane says "His heart will stop at the sight of you or he doesn't deserve to live ... and yes, I am aware of the contradictions embodied in that sentence." Later, relating her frustrations with Lefroy in a letter, she reels off how he is " .. the most disagreeable ... insufferable and impertinent of men ..." before pausing to self-edit: "Too many adjectives."
