I used to rage to Beatrix about it , but she would tell me that I ought to be thankful to have the chance of making such a good match -- the Creature is rich , you know , and clever . As if I cared how clever or rich he is ! Beatrix made me so cross that I gave up saying anything and sulked by myself . So they think I 'm quite reconciled to it , but I 'm not . '' `` He might be very nice after all , '' suggested the Young Man . '' Nice ! That is n't the point . Oh , do n't you see ? But no , you 're a man -- you ca n't understand . You must just take my word for it . The whole thing makes me furious . But I have n't told you the worst .
