Jane Austen’s Elizabeth reveals her true feelings for Mr Darcy when asked when she first fell in love with him, 'I think it must date from my first seeing the beautiful grounds at Pemberley'. 

Lolita, who teases the smitten Humbert Humbert, says 'Carry me upstairs.  I feel sort-of romantic tonight.' and Cathy from Wuthering Heights who asks Heathcliff 'Let me in your window I’m so cold' complete the top ten.
