From the library
“What is this new folly, little dreamer of dreams?” said Bagheera.
In his library he had been always sure of leisure and tranquillity; and though prepared, as he told Elizabeth, to meet with folly and conceit in every other room in the house, he was used to be free from them there: his civility, therefore, was most prompt in inviting Mr.

But vanity, not love, has been my folly.
