Quotation from: Pride and Prejudice

Written by: Jane Austen


Elizabeth could not but smile at such a conclusion of such a
beginning, but Mrs. Bennet, who had persuaded herself that her
husband regarded the affair as she wished, was excessively
disappointed.


"What do you mean, Mr. Bennet, in talking this way? You
promised me to _insist_ upon her marrying him."


"My dear," replied her husband, "I have two small favours to
request. First, that you will allow me the free use of my
understanding on the present occasion; and secondly, of my
room. I shall be glad to have the library to myself as soon as
may be."
