And she does go on to qualify her sweeping statement Written by Kathleen Glancy (1/31/2011 9:47 a.m.) in consequence of the missive, Sarcasm, wit, irony, satire..., penned by Rabab

by admitting freely that it does not really apply to Miss Bates, who is "only too good natured and too silly to suit me; but, in general, she is very much to the taste of everybody, though single and though poor. Poverty certainly has not contracted her mind: I really believe, if she had only a shilling in the world, she would be very likely to give away sixpence of it; and nobody is afraid of her: that is a great charm."
