"Miss Bennet is not here."

"Pity she is indisposed."

"It is quite unusual given her healthy constitution."

"She did complain of a sudden headache during our walk."

"Maybe she tired of your silly conversation."

"Of course not! I spoke about your good qualities."

"Like what?"

"Like how you are a very loyal and protective friend. She will realise that you would make a dedicated husband."

"Thank you, Richard. You can be a great help sometimes."

"Sometimes?!"

"Yes, like now. Pray make excuses for me."

"Where are you going? Do not leave me with aunt."

"You can talk to her parson."
