In marrying, a man does not, to be sure, marry his wife’s mother; and yet a prudent man, when he begins to think of the daughter, would look sharp at the mother; ay, and back to the grandmother too, and along the whole female line of ancestry.
Maria Edgeworth Quotes
Sir Patrick died that night__just as the company rose to drink his health with three cheers, he fell down in a sort of fit, and was carried off__they sat it out, and were surprised, on enquiry, in the morning, to find it was all over with poor Sir Patrick.
