S & S- Favorite Quotes

Book Club, I challenge you to post about some of your favorite quotes from the book.  Share the quote, maybe a picture, and a thought or two.  It doesn't need to be long, but it might prove to be entertaining.

Here's one that I really liked:

"The gentleman offered his services; and perceiving that her modesty declined what her situation rendered necessary, took her up in his arms, without further delay, and carried her down the hill."

I just love the language of the chivalry of this line.  Now, I know that the chivalry was on the part of a good-for-nothing money grubber, but the thought was nice.  Too bad the act of manly compassion didn't work out for Marianne.



Oh wait, it did...just with a different guy.

Amen for chivalry.

-Katie
