It was absolutely necessary to interrupt him now.

Vanity, not love, has been my folly.

How can I dispose of myself with it?

I have never yet found that the advice of a Sister could prevent a young Man's being in love if he chose it.

People that marry can never part, but must go and keep house together. People that dance only stand opposite each other in a long room for half an hour.

There is no reason in the world why you should not be important where you are known. You have good sense, and a sweet temper, and I am sure you have a grateful heart, that could never receive kindness without hoping to return it. I do not know any better qualifications for a friend and companion.

No young lady can be justified in falling in love before the gentleman's love is declared, it must be very improper that a young lady should dream of a gentleman before the gentleman is first known to have dreamt of her.
