Yes and no Written by Christiana (1/18/2004 6:52 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, Marriage aspects..., penned by Mandy N

] The only point I can't agree with you is Mrs Bennet being concerned her daughters to make marriages for their security. Personally, I think she's worried for her own material security with the entailment.

Oh, I doubt Mrs. Bennet is so selfless as to not be thinking about her own interests, at least a little. But I do think that she does care enough for her children to want them settled for their own sakes, as well.
