Tale of Two Cities by: Charles Dickens
“I don’t care about fortune: she is a charming creature, and I have made up my mind to please: myself: on the whole, I think I can afford to please myself. She will have in me a man already pretty:
well off, and a rapidly rising man, and a man of some distinction: it is a piece of good fortune for:
her, but she is worthy of good fortune.”
