My

being

charming

,

Harriet

,

is

not

quite

enough

to

induce

me

to

marry

;

I

must

find

other

people

charming

--

one

other

person

at

least

.

And

I

am

not

only

,

not

going

to

be

married

,

at

present

,

but

have

very

little

intention

of

ever

marrying

at

all

.

"

"

Ah

!

--

so

you

say

;

but

I

can

not

believe

it

.

"

"

I

must

see

somebody

very

superior

to

any

one

I

have

seen

yet

,

to

be

tempted

;

Mr.

Elton

,

you

know

,

(

recollecting

herself

,

)

is

out

of

the

question

:

and

I

do

not

wish

to

see

any

such

person

.

I

would

rather

not

be

tempted

.

I

can

not

really

change

for

the

better

.

If

I

were

to

marry

,

I

must

expect

to

repent

it

.

Dear

me

!

--

it

is

so

odd

to

hear

a

woman

talk

so

!

"

--

"

I

have

none

of

the

usual

inducements

of

women

to

marry

.

Were

I

to

fall

in

love

,

indeed

,

it

would

be

a

different

thing

!

but

I

never

have

been

in

love

;

it

is

not

my

way

,

or

my

nature

;

and

I

do

not

think

I

ever

shall

.

And

,

without

love

,

I

am

sure

I

should

be

a

fool

to

change

such

a

situation

as

mine

.

Fortune

I

do

not

want

;

employment

I

do

not

want

;

consequence

I

do

not

want

:

I

believe

few

married

women

are

half

as

much

mistress

of

their

husband

's

house

as

I

am

of

Hartfield

;

and

never

,

never

could

I

expect

to

be

so

truly

beloved

and

important

;

so

always

first

and

always

right

in

any

man

's

eyes

as

I

am

in

my

father

's

.

"

"

But

then

,

to

be

an

old

maid

at

last

,

like

Miss

Bates

!

"

That

is

as

formidable

an

image

as

you

could

present

,

Harriet

;

and

if

I

thought

I

should

ever

be

like

Miss

Bates

!

so

silly

--

so

satisfied

--

so

smiling

--

so

prosing

--

so

undistinguishing

and

unfastidious

--

and

so

apt

to

tell

every

thing

relative

to

every

body

about

me

,

I

would

marry

to-morrow

.

But

between

us

,

I

am

convinced

there

never

can

be

any

likeness

,

except

in

being

unmarried

.

"

"

But

still

,

you

will

be

an

old

maid

!

and

that

's

so

dreadful

!
