It's from a short story of Austen's called "Love and Freindship" (spelling intentional). It's hilarious, one of my favorites of Austen's juvenilia. You can read it online here: http://www.pemberley.com/janeinfo/lovfrend.html

John and Mary had never met. They were like two hummingbirds who had also never met.
