"You＇ve scruples that I shouldn＇t have had, and you＇ve ideas that I shouldn＇t have had either. You say Isabel wants to be free, and that her being rich will keep her from marrying for money. Do you think that she＇s a girl to do that?"
"By no means. But she has less money than she has ever had before. Her father then gave her everything,because he used to spend his capital. She has nothing but the crumbs of that feast to live on, and she doesn＇t really know how meagre they are—she has yet to learn it. My mother has told me all about it. Isabel will learn it when she＇s really thrown upon the world, and it would be very painful to me to think of her coming to the consciousness of a lot of wants she should be unable to satisfy."
