3 You must give me leave to judge for myself, and pay me the compliment of believing what I say.
4 Miss Bennet had slept ill, and though up, was very feverish, and not well enough to leave her room.
5 Elizabeth joined them again only to say that her sister was worse, and that she could not leave her.
6 There is so much of gratitude or vanity in almost every attachment, that it is not safe to leave any to itself.
7 When I am in the country," he replied, "I never wish to leave it; and when I am in town it is pretty much the same.
