Austen Said:

"Thank you; but there is no escaping these little vexations, Mary, live where we may; and when you are settled in town and I come to see you, I dare say I shall find you with yours, in spite of the nurseryman and the poulterer, perhaps on their very account. Their remoteness and unpunctuality, or their exorbitant charges and frauds, will be drawing forth bitter lamentations."

"And you know what your dinner will be,"

"the turkey, and I assure you a very fine one; for, my dear,"

"cook insists upon the turkey's being dressed to-morrow."

"I hope your ladyship is pleased with the game."
