Quote #10
My uncle Toby knew little of the world; and therefore when he felt he was in love with widow Wadman, he had no conception that the thing was any more to be made a mystery of" (8.27.1)
Toby's such an innocent that he doesn't even know he's supposed to make a big deal of being in love. He has no idea how to flirt—he just tells Mrs. Wadman he likes her and figures that's the end of it. If he were more knowledgeable, he'd probably just make a mess of it. Poor guy needs some lessons from the Pickup Artist.
