Miss Anne Elliott
"They had no conversation together, no intercourse but what the commonest civility required. Once so much to each other! Now nothing! There had been a time they would have found it most difficult to cease to speak to one another. ... There could have been no two hearts so open, no tastes so similar, no feelings so in unison, no countenances so beloved. Now they were as strangers; nay, worse than strangers, for they could never become acquainted. It was a perpetual estrangement."
