“Where pride and stupidity unite there can be no dissimulation worthy notice”

Reginald de Courcy

Reginald expresses his opinion of young Miss Vernon, whom he considers stupid and arrogant.

“I really have a regard for him, he is so easily imposed upon!”

Susan Vernon

Lady Susan shows little respect to people, to all people. She only looks for ways in which she can manipulate them, and to use everything and everyone for her own benefit.

“If I am vain of anything, it is my eloquence. Consideration and esteem as surely follow command of language as admiration waits on beauty”

Susan Vernon

Lady Susan is famous for her eloquence; there is no situation she can easily come out of with the help of words, which she can so masterly pick. And this quality of hers is her the biggest pride, she really knows that it helps her to bewitch the people around her, and the considerable amount of time that she spends in conversation helps her to hone her skills.
