“perhaps i was wrong in challenging you so vigorously.”

“will you take tea?”

“i have called on a personal matter…”

“what i have to say must be utterly confidential.”

“i would remind you you are pledged to secrecy.”

“i would remind you that i am a gentleman, sir.”

“the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak!”

“my dear, what an age it’s been!”

“forgive me, i was disagreeably detained.”

“you take a very sour view of marriage.”

“in love we keep company with the gods.”

“if you had any sense, you’d be roughin’ and tumblin’ about the meadow with that pretty boy.”

“ ‘tis as good a way as any to drive off heartache.”

“do i look like the marrying kind?”

“as i see it, a girl’s only power be when she have men dangling on a string.”

“as i see it, a girl’s only power be when she have men dangling on a string. once they get her, the string’s round her neck.”

“shall we go together?”

“i sympathize. your dilemma is acute.”

“... i begin to comprehend your purpose.”

“god be praised!”

“are you here to congratulate me?”

“you will do no such thing.”

“this is not seemly.”

“have you been here all this time?”

“why would you not come have a drink with us?”

“walk me home… and mind you don’t lay your hands on me behind a hedge.”

“i disapprove of libraries. the danger of exposing uninstructed minds to ideas beyond their scope.”

“every husband needs time away from his wife and children.”

“so i’m to remain here…”

“do you not love him?”

“try to rest…”

“i confess, i’d hoped to see you stronger.”

“do you still think of him?”

“you mustn’t ask me that.”

“may i tell him that i’ve seen you?”

“tell him i do not forget him, and never will.”

“if anything, she grows worse.”

“i wonder if it’s wise to pander to hysterics…”

“it’s only a small gathering. no need to get fligged up.”

“is something amiss?”

“whatever was between us is long past.”

“do you think me a monster?”

“there is no proof.”

“you’re the one person who can do this.”

“you left me in no doubt that night.”

“forgive me.”

“i’d sooner make a wheel than learn stupid latin declensions!” 

“you’re learning how to be a gentleman.”

“she asked me to give you a message.”

“what did you find there?”

“for the first time in years, we talked.”

“i love her. not as i did… but with fondness. the ghost of a love.”

“my conscience is sore, for i treated her ill.”

“fifteen years ago i’d have given the earth for her.”

“i have changed. because of you.”

“i am wholly aware of my capabilities.”

“i am wholly aware of my capabilities. i am also aware they are not for sale.”

“you and i have something in common.”

“how can you lose what you’ve never had?”

“you think i idolize her?”

“it is not perfection that i seek. it is flesh and blood.”

“i think i should like some more port.”

“take all the time you need.”

“nothing matters more than your well-being.”

“why do i think you’re not very interested in this story?”

“should you like me to sit on your lap?”

“you seem far away.”

“i have nothing to tell. do you?”

“i wish i could be two people.”

“i know who it is who truly owns my heart.”

BENEDICT BRIDGERTON

a mix of arguments, tension, manipulation, gossiping, fighting, & general emotional messiness!

you  weren't  supposed  to  hear  that.

don't  look  at  me  like  i'm  the  only  one  lying.

want  to  tell  them,  or  should  i?

you  think  i  don't  know  what  you  did?

i've  hit  people  for  less.

oh,  i  thought  you  already  knew.

that's  funny,  you  didn't  say  that  last  night.

say  that  again.  i  dare  you.

you  wanna  talk  about  loyalty?

no  offense,  but  if  you're  the  last  to  know,  that's  on  you.

go  ahead  -  pretend  like  it  wasn't  your  idea!

they  deserve  to  know  the  truth.

you  didn't  hear  this  from  me,  but  -

oh,  so  now  you  care?

don't  flatter  yourself.  you  were  just  convenient.

you  crossed  a  line.

we  had  bets  on  how  long  it  would  last.

it's  not  even  a  secret  anymore.

you  don't  get  to  cry  about  it  now.

touch  me  again  and  see  what  happens.

say  it  again.  louder  this  time.

you  really  thought  nobody  would  find  out?

don't  act  so  innocent.

okay,  but  am  i  the  villain  for  laughing?

tell  me  who  else  knows.  right  now.

this  whole  time,  and  you  didn't  say  a  word?

don't  act  brave  now.

you're  really  gonna  do  this  here?

it  wasn't  supposed  to  get  this  far!

you  can't  rewrite  history.

oh,  i'd  never  say  it  to  their  faces.

it  was  supposed  to  stay  between  us.

we're  all  thinking  it,  i  just  said  it.

you're  not  as  untouchable  as  you  act.

do  you  even  feel  guilty?

they  warned  me  about  you.

go  ahead,  make  it  worse.

if  you  repeat  this,  i'll  deny  everything.

the  next  thing  out  of  your  mouth  better  be  an  apology.

you're  about  three  seconds  away  from  regretting  this.

you  keep  pushing,  and  i'll  push  you  back.

they're  going  to  find  out.

one  more  lie,  and  i  walk.

they're  lying  to  you.

you  need  to  back  off.  now.

you're  defending  them?  after  everything?

don't  try  to  hide  it.

tell  me,  was  i  just  a  placeholder?

you  really  think  sorry  fixes  this?

there's  nothing  left  to  say.

don't  act  like  you're  the  one  hurting.

i  don't  owe  you  any  explanation.

whatever  helps  you  sleep  at  night.

you  should've  seen  this  coming.

i  hope  it  was  worth  it.

i  told  the  truth.  just  not  all  of  it.

you'll  miss  me  before  i  miss  you.

smile.  you're  ruining  the  mood.

i'd  watch  that  tone  if  i  were  you.

it's  not  my  fault  you  believed  me.

you  have  such  a  talent  for  pretending  you're  innocent.

we  both  know  this  is  over.

i  never  said  i  was  a  good  person.
