“'Tis too much!”

“by far too much. I do not deserve it. Oh! why is not everybody as happy?"

“I must go instantly to my mother;”

“I would not on any account trifle with her affectionate solicitude; or allow her to hear it from anyone but myself. He is gone to my father already. Oh! Lizzy, to know that what I have to relate will give such pleasure to all my dear family! how shall I bear so much happiness!”

the rapidity and ease with which an affair was finally settled, that had given them so many previous months of suspense and vexation.

“And this,”
