I am half agony, half hope

Captain Wentworth's letter, the one line that undoes every reader who gets to it. Printed here in full: I am half agony, half hope.

Regency laurel sprigs frame the quote, with a small flourish and a sealed love letter beneath. The words are Austen's own, straight from Persuasion and long since out of copyright, so this is the real line, not a paraphrase.

Part of the matching Austen quote set, so it sits nicely on the shelf with the rest of the collection if you're building it up.
