You must not imagine that Papa or I have the least notion of compelling you to marry anyone whom you hold in aversion, for I am sure that such a thing would be quite shocking! And Charles would not do so either, would you, dear Charles?โ(Elizabeth Ombersley) โNo, certainly not. But neither would I consent to her marriage with any such frippery fellow as Augustus Fawnhope!โ โAugustus,โ announced Cecilia, putting up her chin, โwill be remembered long after you have sunk into oblivion!โ โBy his creditors? I donโt doubt it.
Georgette HeyerLet me tell you, my girl, that I'm swallowing no more of your insults! And if I hear another word from you in disparagement of the Corinthian set it will be very much the worse for you!
Georgette HeyerDo you forget that I am your sister?โ โNo; Iโve never been granted the opportunity to forget it.
Georgette Heyer
