Excerpt from My Trivial Life and Misfortune, Vol. 3 of 3: A Gossip With No Plot in Particular

Be quiet, Sophy! Said my aunt; it really does look, Mr Scott, as if Sophy thought she liked you before ever you proposed to her, and that is a very shocking and very dreadful thing, because no nice young lady should ever think she likes a gentleman until he has proposed for her to her relations.

David looked at me and smiled. Aunt Jane saw him smile, so the lip which had been going up a little from the pleasure of talking, came down again as far as it could come, and that is a pretty long way!

Mr Scott, said my aunt, a gentleman, - she laid marked emphasis on the word, - a gentleman should first propose to a lady's nearest relations, and if they approve, then he may propose to the lady herself.
