Did Jane Austen say “I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading”?

Found word for word. Yes. The text appears in works attributed to Jane Austen. Source and location below.

… n book, which she had only chosen because it was the second volume of his, she gave a great yawn and said, "How pleasant it is to spend an evening in this way! I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of anything than of a book! When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library."
Pride and Prejudice — Jane Austen, Chapter 11 · ¶393 · Public domain (US), Project Gutenberg #1342 · source
