Quotation on new £10 note

The quotation on the new £10 note is not from Jane Austin herself, but the character Caroline Bingley, in Pride and Prejudice, who actually hated reading Chevin (talk) 20:21, 21 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for adding that, Chevin, with the original source. I'm not sure that detail belongs in the lead section, nor as a blockquote, so I have moved and adjusted accordingly. And I've also changed from an in-line external link to a ref citation. I hope that look ok to you. But it probably also belongs over at Jane Austen in popular culture. But how very ironic. It seems, in a way, more notable that the airbrushed image which has caused all the fuss. Martinevans123 (talk) 20:28, 21 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

-The sentence "Her custom was to keep an infant at home for several month" should be "months". I can't edit this article. [[Special:Contributions/62.232.92.194|62.232.92.194]] ([[User talk:62.232.92.194|talk]]) 18:27, 18 July 2017 (UTC)

-== Wrong date? ==
-In the intro it says the new bank note was released on 2017-07-19, but it is only  the 18th. I don't think released the new notes tomorrow, or at midnight, but there is no citation to check.
