Catherine:
"But I really thought before, young men despised novels amazingly."

Henry:
"It is amazingly; it may well suggest amazement if they do--for they read nearly as many as women."

Is Henry playing with words, like he does with "fair"? I think he is but my knowledge of English fails in allowing me to understand it. Or am I becoming over suspicious?
