Does anyone else DIE OF CUTENESS whenever they read Northanger Abbey or is that just me?

I died right here:

enjoyed her usual happiness with Henry Tilney, listening with sparkling eyes to everything he said; and, in finding him irresistible, becoming so herself…

And here:

Is there a Henry in the world who could be insensible to such a declaration? Henry Tilney at least was not.

And here:

Prepare for your sister-in-law, Eleanor, and such a sister-in-law as you must delight in! Open, candid, artless, guileless, with affections strong but simple, forming no pretensions, and knowing no disguise.”

“Such a sister-in-law, Henry, I should delight in,” said Eleanor with a smile.

There we go, I died again. I hope you’re happy Jane Austen!
