"Darce, do you reckon Anne would suit me?
"No. Why do you ask?"
"You know we are not getting any younger. Sooner or later, I would like to settle down and raise a family. I would need to marry a lady with a sizeable dowry."
"Money cannot buy you love and happiness, Richard. Anne is too sickly to bear children and she is too meek for you."
"Right. I suppose Miss Bennet will do. She has a strong constitution and she is very lively. I imagine she is passionate about many things."
"No! You need someone with a sizeable dowry."
