What was unwholesome to him, he regarded as unfit for any body ; and he had, therefore, earnestly tried to dissuade them from having any wedding-cake at all, and when that proved vain, as earnestly tried to prevent any body’s eating it. (…) With such an opinion, in confirmation of his own, Mr Woodhouse hoped to influence every visitor of the new-married pair ; but still the cake was eaten ; and there was no rest for his benevolent nerves till it was all gone.
