Can Mr. Ryder GET LOST, UGH, he’s screwing things up for Tom

I love that the third act of this book is just Mary and Mr. Hayward getting to spend time flirting

Gobbling this book UP. Where’s my Mr. Hayward 🫪🧐

“She was not sure she could endure to be tied forever to a husband she could not respect. The marriage of her parents […] demonstrated only too clearly the miserable consequences of such a choice. Where there was no real esteem, contempt and bitterness soon followed. If she was[…]to consider Mr. Collins […]she must find something worthwhile in him, or she really should not continue to think of him at all.”

“Fortune really does favor the bold, you know. Don’t believe you can find happiness celebrating the good fortune of others. An eternity spent smiling and cooing over the good luck of your friends makes the heart sick in the end. And above all, don’t long for what you cannot have but learn to recognize what is possible, and when it presents itself, seize upon it with both hands.”
