Marry your master's daughter, and then become Lord Mayor of London." This was not the view in which it had pleased Harry to regard his engagement.

All the other "young men" that had gone to Mr.Burton's had married Mr.Burton's daughters--or, at least, enough had done so to justify the Stratton assertion that all had fallen into the same trap.
The Burtons, with their five girls, were supposed in Stratton to have managed their affairs very well, and something of these hints had reached Harry's ears.

He would have preferred that the thing should not have been made so common, but he was not fool enough to make himself really unhappy on that head.
"I don't know much about becoming Lord Mayor," he replied.

"That promotion doesn't lie exactly in our line." "But marrying your master's daughter does, it seems," said the Rector.
Harry thought that this, as coming from his father, was almost ill-natured, and therefore dropped the conversation.
"I'm sure we shall like her," said Fanny.
"I think that I shall like Harry's choice," said Mrs.Clavering.
"I do hope Edward will like her," said Mary.
"Mary," said her sister, "I do wish you were once married.

When you are, you'll begin to have a self of your own again.
