“I am worn out with civility,” said he. “I have been talking incessantly all night, and with nothing to say.” Edmund Bertram, Mansfield Park, Chapter 28
Yes I do understand how he feels. The act of being social, just to be social wears me out too.
This line by Edmund reminds me of standing in many wedding receiving lines as a Bridesmaid! My feet ached from standing and my face hurt from smiling!
Cheers, Laurel Ann
