Single man Quote by Jane Austen

““It is a truth universally acknowledged....well, in this crowd, I believe we can depend on our fellow bookies to fill in the rest. Thank you, as always, dear Jane. And in case you need a mind jog...here's the rest: that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife. —Jane Austen””
