This is one of my favorite quotes!
It is happy for you that you possess the talent of flattering with delicacy. May I ask whether these pleasing attentions proceed from the impulse of the moment, or are they the result of previous study?

Haha, that quote and the exchange that follows is just priceless.
"I will confess that I sometimes amuse myself by thinking up small devices that are sure to please her ladyship...." or something like that! Mr. Collins is the perfect GROSS character! If you're ever fortunate (or unfortunate really) enough to be in the same room with me and Liv when we're watching P&P... It's very amusing apparently. I think Liv said the first time she watched P&P and she saw Mr. Collins proposing to Lizzie, her Mom said that she could hear her yelling from upstairs, "EWW!!! Gross! She can't marry him! Priceless... :)
