Of more fashion than fortune Written by Linden (1/16/2004 2:12 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, '...the lace upon Mrs Hurst's gown.', penned by Mandy N

Perhaps we can deduce that Mr Hurst is in some way part of the fashionable world that the Bingley sisters want to get into. The younger son of a lord, perhaps, who had no money but high rank. It was quite common for such men to marry heiresses of men who'd made their fortune in trade.
