2 That is what I like; that is what a young man ought to be.
3 I could not be happy with a man whose taste did not in every point coincide with my own.
4 Mama, the more I know of the world, the more am I convinced that I shall never see a man whom I can really love.
5 I abhor every common-place phrase by which wit is intended; and 'setting one's cap at a man,' or 'making a conquest,' are the most odious of all.
6 The son, a steady respectable young man, was amply provided for by the fortune of his mother, which had been large, and half of which devolved on him on his coming of age.

8 HER wisdom too limited the number of their servants to three; two maids and a man, with whom they were speedily provided from amongst those who had formed their establishment at Norland.
