I am looking for the New England author who used the following Jane Austen quote in one of his books:
"... and the lenient hand of time did much for her by insensible gradations in the course of another day."
Your help is greatly appreciated

Welcome to a2k, leubner. I tried looking for the phrase at amazon.com with their Look in the Book feature, but only got Jane Austen for results. Maybe someone else here will have another idea of how to find it, or knows of the author you're looking for.
Do you have any other information i.e. when the book was published or its subject matter?
looking for the quote
Actually, I have already searched extensively on the Internet, as well as having a library researcher I know look for it. I was hoping that someone into quotes might remember seeing it recently in a novel. I have a professor who is looking to stump the class on this one... Thanks for your help, though!
