"I think you said she was a widow, sir? Has she any family?"
"She has only one daughter, the heiress of Rosings, and of very extensive property."

"She is a most charming young lady indeed. Lady Catherine herself says that, in point of
true beauty, Miss de Bourgh is far superior to the handsomest of her sex, because there is
that in her features which marks the young lady of distinguished birth. She is unfortunately
of a sickly constitution, which has prevented her from making that progress in many

lady who superintended her education, and who still resides with them. But she is perfectly
amiable, and often condescends to drive by my humble abode in her little phaeton and
ponies."
