Senora--I do not like my cousin enough!"Dona Beatrice was not at all disturbed. "No, my love, I had not supposed you did. I find him very lamentable myself, and I bore him. But what has that to do with marriage? Do not make that singular error of confusing liking with marriage. It has nothing to do with it.""I choose to think it has, aunt.

Scandal is very odious. book-quotescandal
