It is tempting to think Henry teases less, but...   Written by Adrian (3/24/2009 12:21 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, Surprise?, penned by Amanda S.
Are you new?

...he continues to surprise me. Not only is there the talking over Catherine's head again ("Prepare for your sister–in–law, Eleanor, and such a sister–in–law as you must delight in!") but also...



“But perhaps,” observed Catherine, “though she has behaved so ill by our family, she may behave better by yours. Now she has really got the man she likes, she may be constant.”

“Indeed I am afraid she will,” replied Henry; “I am afraid she will be very constant, unless a baronet should come in her way; that is Frederick’s only chance. I will get the Bath paper, and look over the arrivals.”

“You think it is all for ambition, then? ... I never was so deceived in anyone’s character in my life before.”

Among all the great variety that you have known and studied. (Ch. 25)

I do think Henry is more careful, but he still comes up with ironic witticisms or remarks with double meanings in a teasing way.
