From The Contrast by Royall Tyler

male · romantic · 42 sec

Your good opinion, my angel, is the pride and pleasure of my heart; and if the most respectful tenderness for you, and an utter indifference for all your sex besides, can make me worthy of your esteem, I shall richly merit it. (CHARLOTTE: All my sex besides, Mr. Dimple!--you forgot your tête-à-tête with Letitia.) How can you, my lovely angel, cast a thought on that insipid, wry-mouthed, ugly creature! (CHARLOTTE: But her fortune may have charms?) Not to a heart like mine. The man, who has been blessed with the good opinion of my Charlotte, must despise the allurements of fortune.
