Think him worth thinking of again

She was benevolent , charitable good woman
Capable of few strong attachments ; most correct in her conduct
Strict in her notions of decorum and manners that were held a standard
of good-breeding .
She had a cultivated mind and was generally speaking , rational , consistent - but she had prejudices - the true way to love.
She knew that you cannot find love ... love finds you.
She must retrench - she drew up plans for economy
She made exact calculations
She wanted more rigorous measures , a more complete reformation
A quicker release from his debt , his effects
A much higher tone of indifference for anything but justice and equity.

...yet there it was not love .
It was a little fever of admiration which had all but gone out
but it might , probably must end with love for some
