"I have a great mind to marry."

"I wish, with all my heart, that I was well settled at home, and I do not care how soon I am; but I have no hope of it."

"I am quite convinced that I shall never be married."

"I give you joy of our new nephew, and hope if he ever comes to be hanged it will not be till we are too old to care about it."

"A lady's imagination is very rapid; it jumps from admiration to love, from love to matrimony in a moment."
