But to appear happy when I am so miserable — Oh! who can require it?
Where an opinion is general, it is usually correct.
With women, the heart argues, not the mind.

I do not think it worth while to wait for enjoyment until there is some real opportunity for it.
A man would always wish to give a woman a better home than the one he takes her from; and he who can do it, where there is no doubt of her regard, must, I think, be the happiest of mortals.
