Quotation from: Pride and Prejudice

Written by: Jane Austen


"No," said her father; "Wickham's a fool if he takes her with a
farthing less than ten thousand pounds. I should be sorry to
think so ill of him, in the very beginning of our relationship."


"Ten thousand pounds! Heaven forbid! How is half such a
sum to be repaid?"


Mr. Bennet made no answer, and each of them, deep in thought,
continued silent till they reached the house. Their father then
went on to the library to write, and the girls walked into the
breakfast-room.
