Stellar literary examples of the "he's a ten, but" meme

Do you ever search fruitlessly for something you found on the internet, only to realize you were looking in the wrong place?

Well, that describes our Instagram post recently asking for “he’s a ten, but” jokes.

Turns out we found a blog post that listed a ton of them … not an Instagram post.

So enjoy these “he’s a ten, but” contributions based on classic novels (and a few more recent ones set in those bygone eras).
