It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife. However little known the feelings or views of such a man may be on his first entering a neighbourhood, this truth is so well fixed in the minds of the surrounding families, that he is considered as the rightful property of someone or other of their daughters.

The Very first moment I beheld him, my heart was irrevocably gone.

A man does not recover from such devotion of the heart to such a woman! He ought not; he does not.

Nobody, who has not been in the interior of a family, can say what the difficulties of any individual of that family may be.

The post-office is a wonderful establishment! The regularity and dispatch of it! If one thinks of all that it has to do, and all that it does so well, it is really astonishing!

You have delighted us long enough.

My heart is, and always will be, yours.
