Mudam-se as vontades

Elizabeth Bennet: Do you dance, Mr. Darcy?
Mr. Darcy: Not if I can help it.
(a few minutes later)
Elizabeth Bennet: I wonder whoever discovered the power of poetry in driving away love?
Mr. Darcy: I had always thought of poetry as the food of love
Elizabeth Bennet: Of a fine stout love it may, but if it is only a vague inclination I'm convinced one poor sonnet will kill it stone dead
Mr. Darcy: So what do you reccomend, to encourage affection?
Elizabeth Bennet: Dancing, even if one's partner is only tolerable.
(later)
Mr. Darcy: May I have the next dance, Miss Elizabeth?
Elizabeth Bennet: You may.

(From Pride and prejudice)
