This is an experimental thing.
I took sentences from Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice (1813), sorted them by length, then eliminated ones that sounded too archaic or didn't seem appropriate out of context. After that, I eliminated any duplicates of sentences already in the tatoeba.org database.
I only included sentences that were less than 74 characters long, including punctuation.
Here are the 110 sentences selected from Pride and Prejudice (1813)

Very interesting.
I prefer the longer sentences.
They should all be tagged as "Jane Austen". Although I'm not sure what metadata gets exported with the sentences, there should be the possibility of users understanding they are from a book written in 1813.
I would comment that, while it is perfect English, some sentences would feel a little dated if they were said by someone now.
