“Good heavens…. People.” “Have you no compassion for my poor nerves?” “If every man in the room does not end the evening in love with you, then I’m no judge of beauty.” “How can you tease me so?” “One of these days, someone will catch your eye, and then you’ll have to watch your tongue.” “Miserable he may be, but poor he most certainly is not.” “Count your blessings. If he liked you, you’d have to talk with him.” “I wouldn’t dance with him for all of _, let alone the miserable half.” “Do you like to dance?” “I thought poetry was the food of love.” “What do you recommend to encourage affection?” “No, men are far too easy to judge.” “Only the deepest love will persuade me into matrimony, which is why I will end up an old maid.”  “Her Ladyship demands it.” “You’ve liked many a stupider person.” “All the world is good and agreeable in your eyes.” ”So which one of these painted peacocks is _?” “I could more easily forgive his vanity had he not wounded mine.” “Your skills in the art of matchmaking are positively occult.” “I’m no longer surprised at your knowing accomplished women, I rather wonder at your knowing any.” “Our surest way of disappointing him will be to ask him nothing about it.” “Would you find pride a fault or a virtue?” “No excellence can be acquired without constant practice.” “My good opinion, once lost, is lost forever.” “How happy for you, _, to possess the talent for flattering with such…delicacy.” “What a shame, for I dearly love to laugh.” “Believe me, no one would suspect your manners to be rehearsed.” “Dear, oh dear. You must be the shame of the regiment.” “Oh, _, do you never think ill of anybody?” “These are the kind of delicate little compliments that are always acceptable to the ladies.” “It is my intention, if I may be so bold, to remain close to you throughout the evening.” “It would be most inconvenient, since I have sworn to loathe him for all eternity.” “Please advise me on what you would like most to hear.” “Oh no, I prefer to be unsociable and taciturn.” “I hear such different accounts of you as puzzle me exceedingly.” “I hope to afford you more clarity in the future.”  “She’s just shy and modest.” “Men are eaten up with either arrogance or stupidity.” “There are few of us secure enough to be really in love without proper encouragement.” “We are all fools in love.” “I will not and I certainly never shall.” “He does not know her character as we do.” “I am perfectly serious!” “There are few people who have more true enjoyment of music than myself.” “You give your opinion very decidedly for so young a person.” “With 5000 a year, it would not matter if he had warts and a leer.” “You know perfectly well I do not believe marriage should be driven by a lot of money.” “Only a man truly confident in himself would admit to that.” “Can’t help but feel at any point someone’s going to produce a piglet and make us chase it.” “You have insulted me in every possible, and can now have nothing to say.” “Headstrong, foolish child!” “If they are amiable, they are so easily led that they have no minds of their own whatsoever.” “You’re free to go off and be jilted yourself.” ”Please understand, I cannot accept you.” “Oh, for heaven’s sake, _, don’t look at me like that.” “Not all of us can afford to be romantic.” ”I think that’s the most unforgiving speech you’ve ever made.” “I must confess, the view from where I sit has been rather grey.” “I’m well enough acquainted with you to know that I cannot alarm you even should I wish it.” “I do not have the talent of conversing easily with people I have never met before.” “What on earth have you done to poor _?” “I have struggled in vain and can bear it no longer.” “I love you… Most ardently.” ”I am very sorry to have caused you pain.” “Is that your opinion of me?” “Take care, that savors strongly of bitterness.” “Can you die of happiness?” “You may ask a question, I may choose not to answer it.” “What are men compared to rocks and mountains?” “Do you not think him handsome?” “How can I ever make amends for such behavior?” “You must know… surely you must know it was all for you.” “One word from you will silence me forever.” “You have bewitched me, body and soul.” “Your hands are cold.”

“No, not quite, but, oh well,” Minos said with his signature disdainful smirk, not quite towards Fyodor, but at the meeting he had had just before his subordinate with Pandora. Dreadful woman; she often would manage to put him in the worst of moods, but he would never let her have the upper hand. He didn’t mind Fyodor’s amused expression, and hardly would get upset if he laughed at his rather appropriate quote. “But yes, you are right. Imagining how entertaining it would be to make all of them my bitches, though, does put me in a joyful mood now that I think about it.”
