2 Lady Bertram was very well pleased to have it so, and the young ladies were in spirits again.
3 He has now and then been a sad flirt, and cared very little for the havoc he might be making in young ladies' affections.
4 The two ladies were together in the breakfast-room, and, fortunately for him, Lady Bertram was on the very point of quitting it as he entered.
5 Mrs. Rushworth proposed that the chaise should be taken also; but this was scarcely received as an amendment: the young ladies neither smiled nor spoke.
6 I have often scolded him for it, but it is his only fault; and there is this to be said, that very few young ladies have any affections worth caring for.
