deep-vers'd in books, and shallow in herself

[constance]

Oh, my God, look at this. If is not the most beautiful thing I've ever seen, it's certainly in the top ten, and a very good bargain besides, and I covet it so badly, you have no idea. The only thing stopping me from buying it right now (literally right now, as in instead of writing this post) is that I don't have enough money in my bank account for it. If I did, I would gladly risk getting my electricity cut off for a month or two. Risk my life by biking to work for half a year, which is about how long it takes me to use that much gas.

I have to resist, but that doesn't mean that you do too! I think you should get it, because if I can't have it, I want someone I love to have it, instead.
