Read this excerpt from jane austen's pride and prejudice:
when jane and elizabeth were alone, the former, who had been cautious in her praise of mr. bingley before, expressed to her sister just how very much she admired him.
"he is just what a young man ought to be," said she, "sensible, good-humoured, lively; and i never saw such happy manners! —so much ease, with such perfect good breeding! "
"he is also handsome," replied elizabeth, "which a young man ought likewise to be, if he possibly can. his character is thereby complete."
"i was very much flattered by his asking me to dance a second time. i did not expect such a compliment."
"did not you? i did for you. but that is one great difference between us. compliments always take you by surprise, and me never. what could be more natural than his asking you again? he could not seeing that you were about five times as pretty as every other woman in the room. no to his gallantry for that. well, he certainly is very agreeable, and i give you leave to like him. you have liked many a stupider person."

Explanation: As revealed not only in this passage, but throughout the novel, Elizabeth Bennet is a very clever woman, but also, or because of that, very harsh too. She is also very honest, witty and kind. When her sister praises Mr. Bingley's for his humour and good manners, Elizabeth outspokenly adds that he is handsome too, like all men, ideally, should be. Likewise, when her sister declares to her that his second invitation to dance caught her by surprise, Elizabeth replies by saying that it did not to her, since it was expected: he asked her to dance one more time not so much out of courtesy, but because she is much prettier than others - this comment reflects her sincerity, but also her nobility, since, sadly, women don't tend to compliment other women. Elizabeth concludes with a blunt and sarcastic statement: her sister has her permission to like him, since, after all, she has liked many stupider men!
