“You may call [Charis] angelic to be for ever trying to please everyone, and being sorry for those she can't please, but I don't! Addle-brained is what I call it!' 'Oh, no!' uttered Charis imploringly. 'Oh, yes!' he retorted. 'Told you so before! If you don't take care, Charis, you'll end by being sorry for yourself! All for the want of a little resolution! What if Mrs Dauntry and Frederica don't like it [a marriage between you and Endymion]? They'll come round! And you needn't look at me as ugly as bull-beef, Endymion, because I'll say what I choose to my own sister!” — Georgette Heyer
