Youngest & Tallest, Jane Austen Pride & Prejudice Postcard

"Lydia, my love," said Mrs. Bennet, "though you are the youngest, I dare say mr. Bingley will dance with you at the next ball." "Oh," said Lydia, stoutly, "I am not afraid; for though I am the youngest, I'm the tallest." This statement comes from chapter 2 in Jane Austen's beloved literary novel Pride and Prejudice as Lydia was speaking about the possibility of Mr. Bingley dancing with her at the Meryton Assembly.
