Page 39 - Uneasiness! What uneasiness? Where business is transacted as it ought to be, and the parties understand one another, there can be no uneasiness. You agree, on such and such conditions, to receive my daughter for a wife; on the same...
Page 12 - Ha, ha, ha ! very well, my dear ! — I shall be as fine as a little queen, indeed. — I have a bouquet to come home to-morrow — made up of diamonds, and rubies, and emeralds, and topazes, and amethysts.— jewels of all colours, green, red, blue, yellow, intermixed— the prettiest thing you ever saw in your life...
Page 40 - Be assured, sir, that I neither mean to affront, nor forsake your family. My only fear is, that you should desert me; for the whole happiness of my life depends on my being connected with your family, by the nearest and tenderest ties in the world.

It will come with...
Page 13 - You're above pity. You would not change conditions with me - you're over head and ears in love, you know. Nay, for that matter, if Mr Lovewell and you come together, as I doubt not you will, you will live very comfortably, I dare say.
Page 72 - Not I - but what is it? Speak! I was got into my little closet - all the lawyers were in bed, and I had almost lost my senses in the confusion of Lord Ogleby's mortgages, when I was alarmed with a foolish girl, who could hardly speak; and whether it's fire, or thieves, or murder, or a rape, I am quite in the dark.
Page 133 - Cupid from his favourite nation, Care and envy will remove ; Jealousy, that poisons passion, And despair, that dies for love. Gentle murmurs, sweet complaining, Sighs, that blow the fire of love ; Soft repulses, kind disdaining, Shall be all the pains you prove.
