Jane Austen Sense & Sensibility Metal Bookmark

Not every pause in a novel needs to be a reluctant one. This brass-tone Sense & Sensibility metal bookmark carries Mrs Dashwood's words about the pleasures of books and music, with an enamelled floral-and-ribbon detail above the lettering. Keep it in a favourite edition for the chapters worth returning to.

Quiet happiness at Barton Cottage

When Elinor and Marianne are invited to London, their mother looks ahead to staying with Margaret. In Chapter 25 she declares, "We shall go on so quietly and happily together with our books and our music." The bookmark reproduces her words, with a full stop where the novel gives her an exclamation mark. It is a wonderfully modest ambition compared with the romantic misunderstandings occupying her elder daughters: good company, familiar books and music enough for an enjoyable day.

Mark the place, keep the pleasure

Slide the slim metal marker between pages before setting the book aside. When the next chance to read arrives, the place is waiting without a folded corner or makeshift scrap of paper. The brass-tone finish and enamel detail bring a quietly decorative note to the daily business of picking up a novel again.

A little company for the next book

The bookmark arrives on a backing card, suitable to give with a fresh copy of Sense & Sensibility or tuck into an edition already well loved. The floral ornament, the title beneath the quote and Mrs Dashwood's contented vision of an evening at home make an affectionate companion to a book that rewards repeated reading. A quite reasonable excuse to stay in.
