Mr Austen,I must inform you that I shall not attend service today.
Not in the presence of this young woman. Indeed. If I must speak plainly. Aunt. I believe your youngest daughter has been on a journey. Her Ladyship considers travel a crime? Unsanctioned travel. Furthermore,be aware that my nephew has withdrawn his addresses to someone without family,fortune,importance and fatally tainted by suspicion. Oh,she has family,madam.Indeed she has. Importance may depend upon other matters than Your Ladyship can conceive. As to fortune,a young woman might depend upon herself. An interesting notion,Miss Austen. Oblige me a walk along the river to enlarge upon the topic.Wisley?
