i like su-lin's victorian class. she supplies me with the funniest quotes. again from the letters of charlotte (i presume) bronte:hm. rather like the middle bennet sister.
Not that it is a crime to marry, or a crime to wish to be married; but it is an imbecility, which I reject with contempt, for women, who have neither fortune nor beauty, to make marriage the principal object of their wishes. and hopes, and the aim of all their actions; not to be able to convince themselves that they are unattractive, and that they had better be quiet, and think of other things than wedlock.
