“When a gentleman spends quite some time telling me in detail about his father's courtship of his mother, I have to assume there is some moral for me in the tale. Since in this case that courtship consisted primarily of his father insisting repeatedly they were to marry and his mother refusing him almost as often, I take the moral to be that there is very little point in refusing, since it would only lead to the question being repeated until I agreed to it out of sheer exhaustion.” CourtshipPride And PrejudiceElizabeth BennetFitzwilliam Darcy Book:The Darcys of Derbyshire: A Pride & Prejudice Variation Source: The Darcys of Derbyshire: A Pride & Prejudice Variation
