You may well warn me against such an evil. Human nature is so prone to fall into it!

I dearly love a laugh.

There is a stubbornness about me that never can bear to be frightened at the will of others.

The distance is nothing, when one has a motive.

I hope I never ridicule what is wise or good.

I should indefinitely prefer a book.

You are too sensible a girl to fall in love merely because you are warned against it.

But really, and upon my honour, I will try to do what I think to be wisest; and now, I hope you are satisfied.

Upon my word, you five your opinion very decidedly for so young a person.
