   Oh, no: it is as formal as can be, for it is 18th-century   
   gothic.  The pricipal characters talk like a book[1].   
   `think' works the same way as `consider', `deem', and   
   `find':   
                  I consider exceptions harmful.   
                  I deem     him        prim.   
                  I find     you        kind.   
                  I think    her        unkind.
