She was proved to have been universally mistaken; and she had not quite done nothing for she had done mischief. She had brought evil on Harriet, on herself, and she too much feared, on Mr. Knightley.
'Faugh! the low Irishman, they would say. 'Bah! the coarse adventurer! 'Out on the insufferable blackleg and puppy! and so forth. This hatred has been of no inconsiderable service to me in the world; for when I fasten on a man, nothing can induce me to release my hold: and I am left to myself, which is all the better.
