Women are the only correspondents to be depended on.

It's been many years since I had such an exemplary vegetable.

I always deserve the best treatment because I never put up with any other.

Beware how you give your heart.

There is a stubbornness about me that never can bear to be frightened at the will of others. My courage always rises at every attempt to intimidate me.

I come here with no expectations, only to profess, now that I am at liberty to do so, that my heart is and always will be yours.

I am excessively fond of a cottage; there is always so much comfort, so much elegance about them. And I protest, if I had any money to spare, I should buy a little land and build one myself, within a short distance of London, where I might drive myself down at any time, and collect a few friends about me and be happy. I advise everybody who is going to build, to build a cottage.
