A man in distressed circumstances has not time for all those elegant decorums which other people may observe. If Miss King does not object to it, why should we? (CHARLOTTE: Her not objecting does not justify--him.) (Emphatically.) Well, have it as you choose. He shall be mercenary, and she shall be foolish! Mr. Wickham's worst fault, after all, is his power of being agreeable. Thank heaven, we both of us know some men who haven't one agreeable quality. Stupid men are the only ones worth knowing! (CHARLOTTE: Well, well, Eliza! That speech savours a little of--disappointment.) Oh, yes--anything you please!
