Quotes: --" Do you certainly leave Kent on Saturday?" --" Yes-if Darcy does not put it off again. But I am at his disposal. He arranges the business just as he pleases." --" And if not able to please himself in the arrangement, he has at least great pleasure in the power of choice. I do not know anybody who seems more to enjoy the power of doing what he likes than Mr. Darcy."
