I was somewhat taken aback while reading Peacock's Crotchet Castle (first published 1831) when I came across the following piece of dialogue:

CAPTAIN FITZCHROME
I cannot believe, that, speaking thus of him, you mean to take him at all

LADY CLARINDA
Oh! I am out of my teens. I have been very much in love; but now I am come to years of discretion, and must think, like other people, of settling myself advantageously.
