I have brought you here to do you good.

I regard you as my patient, and I give you my medical orders that you are to enjoy yourself." Bathurst laughed.
"I am enjoying myself in my way, Doctor." "Who is that very pretty woman standing up in the next carriage but one ?" Isobel asked.
"She comes from an out station," the Doctor repeated; "she is the wife of the Collector there, but I think she likes Cawnpore better than Boorgum; her name is Rose." "Is that her husband talking to her ?" "No; that is a man in the Artillery here, I think." "Yes," the Major said, "that is Harrowby, a good looking fellow, and quite a ladies' man." "Do you mean a man ladies like, uncle, or who likes the society of ladies ?" "Both in his case, I should fancy," the Major said; "I believe he is considered one of the best looking men in the service." "I don't see why he should be liked for that," Isobel said.

"As far as I have seen, good looking men are not so pleasant as others.

I suppose it is because they are conscious of their own good looks, and therefore do not take the trouble of being amusing.
