"I must tell you, child, that I refuse to listen to such rank idiotcy." "It's nothing of the kind, aunt." "The fancy of a boy." "He's not a boy. He's half-a-year older than I am!" "You silly child! The moment you fall in love, you all think yourselves men." "On my honour, aunt! I believe he loves her thoroughly." "Did he tell you so, child?"
