"However little Mr. Darcy might have liked such an address, he contented himself with coolly replying that he perceived no other alteration than her being rather tanned -- no miraculous consequence of travelling in the summer" And of course, Sir Walter Elliot and his obsession for beauty and Mrs. Smith's freckles. I completely adore my freckles! Also remember the horrible comments that Miss Bingley made about Elizabeth when they saw her again at Pemberley.

It's interesting to note that JA has exalted both Elizabeth Bennet as well as Fanny Price as her heroines. I'm sure Jane is wise enough to know that beauty is only skin deep.

I would have fit in well in the Regency period. Though I do like a good flush and a little color in my cheeks. I’ve been waiting for pale skin to come back in since I am completely unable to tan.
