I had not known you a month before I felt that you were the last man in the world whom I could ever be prevailed upon to marry. He ought not - he does not. Emma denied none of it aloud, and agreed to none of it in private. A man would always wish to give a woman a better home than the one he takes her from. It is a great deal more natural than one would wish, that a young man, brought up by those who are proud, luxurious, and selfish, should be proud, luxurious, and selfish too.
Vanity working on a weak head, produces every sort of mischief.
A man always imagines a woman to be ready for anybody who asks her. There are people, who the more you do for them, the less they will do for themselves. I always deserve the best treatment, because I never put up with any other. We have all a better guide in ourselves if we would attend to it, than any other person can be. Nothing ever fatigues me, but doing what I do not like.
