That will do extremely well, child. You have delighted us long enough. Let the other young ladies have time to exhibit.
– Jane Austen
Pride and Prejudice, Chapter 18. Mr. Bennet says this to Mary after she performs her second terrible song of the night at the Netherfield ball. He had been asked to intervene by a mortified Elizabeth who was afraid Mary was going to sing all night. Mr. Bennet is, of course, being ironic in his comment about his daughter’s delightful singing.
