Pride and Prejudice #2

modernausten:

Mr. Collins says:

“As I must therefore conclude that you are not serious in your rejection of me, I shall choose to attribute it to your wish of increasing my love by suspense, according to the usual practice of elegant females.”

Translation:

“You’re playing with my feelings. Rejection it normal. I guess all women do that.”

Or rather, “Bitch, don’t pretend you don’t want some of this.”
