"A lady's imagination is very rapid; it jumps from admiration to love, from love to matrimony in a moment."

"I have been listening to some very dull music, and have just been relieved by the entrance of a fat lady."

"I am not at all disposed to think ill of any body, for I believe there is a great deal of good in every human being."

"I have a great mind to marry."

"I wish, with all my heart, that I was well settled at home, and I do not care how soon I am; but I have no hope of it."
