Miss Barry was a rather selfish old lady, if the truth must be told, and had never cared much for anybody but herself.
She is a selfish, hypocritical woman, and I have no opinion of her.”
“From the very beginning, from the first moment, I may almost say, of my acquaintance with you, your manners impressing me with the fullest belief of your arrogance, your conceit, and your selfish disdain of the feelings of others, were such as to form that groundwork of disapprobation, on which succeeding events have built so immovable a dislike; and I had not known you a month before I felt that you were the last man in the world whom I could ever be prevailed on to marry.”
Unfeeling, selfish girl!
