1 " Wooing, wedding, and repenting is as a Scotch jig, a measure, and a cinque-pace: the first suit is hot and hasty like a Scotch jig--and full as fantastical; the wedding, mannerly modest, as a measure, full of state and ancientry; and then comes repentance and with his bad legs falls into the cinque-pace faster and faster, till he sink into his grave. "
― William Shakespeare , Much Ado About Nothing
2 " Books are the most mannerly of companions accessible at all times in all moods frankly declaring the author's mind without offense. "
