"Miss Eliza Bennet," said Miss Bingley, "despises cards. She is a great reader, and has no pleasure in anything else."
"I deserve neither such praise nor such censure," cried Elizabeth; "I am not a great reader, and I have pleasure in many things."
– Jane Austen
Pride and Prejudice, Chapter 8. Caroline Bingley jibes at Elizabeth, trying to make her look bookish, when she decides to read a book instead of joining in the card game in the Netherfield drawing room. She offensively suggests that Elizabeth has no other pleasures. But Elizabeth deflects the attack and even tries to make it appear like a compliment.
