Aye, aye! good-natured, jolly, full of fun; there are a number of other names for the good qualities the devil leaves his children, as bait to catch gudgeons with. D'ye think folk could be led astray by one who was every way bad? Elizabeth Gaskell
Elizabeth Gaskell quote: "Oh, Mr. Thornton, I am not good enough!''Not good enough!..."

Only you're right in saying she's too good an opinion of herself to think of you. The saucy jade! I should like to know where she'd find a better! Elizabeth Gaskell
Thus, you see, he arrived at the same end, via supposed duty, that he was previously pledged to via interest. I fancy a good number of us, when any line of action will promote our own interest, can make ourselves believe that reasons exist which compel us to it as a duty. Elizabeth Gaskell
