Quote by Helen Halstead
““I would rather they did not speak of it at all, until I am out of the district." Mrs. Bennet was all amazement. "Until you are out of the district, child! What else are people to speak of when they hear you are to marry a man so rich, so highly placed in society, so... rich?””
