"I take no leave of you, Miss Bennett! I send no compliments to your mother. You deserve no such attention.I am seriously displeased."
-Lady Catherine DeBourgh, Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice.
Wouldn't it be great if you could still say things like that to people when they annoyed you? "I send no compliments to your mother." That's hysterical!
Clearly I've gotten into my A&E Pride and Prejudice box set and I am enjoying it immensely. I think I will start using the phrase "seriously displeased" if nothing else. Count on it.
