Edmund's own opinion, or a reflection of how his family judges? Written by Tom P2 (9/24/2010 12:39 a.m.) in consequence of the missive, One might think..., penned by Karen G

"Very stupid fellow" sounds to me more like something Maria, for example, would say. When Edmund thinks it, perhaps he's using the expression indirectly? as in "Maria & Co are going to a lot of trouble to cultivate the acquaintance as things stand, but if he weren't rich, it's more likely that they wouldn't make the effort, and would instead refer to him as a VSF."
