“If any young men come for Mary or Kitty, send them in, for I am quite as leisure.”

“I am quite enough in love. I should be sorry to be any more”

“She is tolerable, but not handsome enough to tempt me, and I am in no humor at present to give consequence to young ladies who are slighted by other men.”

“Oh! if that is all, I have a very poor opinion of young men who live in Derbyshire; and their intimate friends who live in Hertfordshire are not much better. I am sick of them all. Thank Heaven! I am going tommorow where I shall find a man who has not one agreeable quality, who has neither manner nor sense to recommend him. Stupid men are the only ones worth knowing, after all.”

“Oh hang kitty; what has she to do with it? Come, be quick. Be quick. Where is your sash?”

“Kitty has no discretion in her coughs," said her father; "she times them ill.”

“Don't keep coughing so, Kitty, for Heaven's sake! Have a little compassion on my nerves. You tear them to pieces.”
