“He must be an oddity, I think,” said she.
Pride and Prejudice, p. 70 · B2
But Elizabeth was not formed for ill-humour; and though every prospect of her own was destroyed for the evening, it could not dwell long on her spirits; and, having told all her griefs to Charlotte Lucas, whom she had not seen for a week, she was soon able to make a voluntary transition to the oddities of her cousin, and to point him out to her particular notice.
Pride and Prejudice, p. 101 · B2
