Quotes
-
Mr. Collins : I must, therefore, attribute your refusal of me to your wish of increasing my love by suspense! Which is, I'm told, the usual practice of elegant females!
Elizabeth Bennet : Believe me, sir! I am not one of those elegant females who takes pleasure in tormenting a respectable man. I am a rational creature speaking the truth from her heart.
-
Mr. Collins : I understand, my dear Miss Elizabeth, that it is the delicate and charming custom of young ladies to say no when they mean yes, even three or four refusals. I am, therefore, by no means discouraged.
-
Mr. Collins : Foolish? Headstrong? Dear me! Those failures will not make her a very desirable wife!
