'...one of the results of great wealth - as of great poverty - is the early death of romance. The woman who is so poor that nobody wants to marry her, and the woman who is so rich that everybody wants to marry her, are both too clear-sighted to be taken in by Love's assumption of blindness. They know well enough that the bandage across the eyes of the so-called "little blind god" is all humbug; and that he can see as far into a bank-book as most people, and take aim accordingly...'
from Miss Fallowfield's Fortune by Ellen Thorneycroft Fowler (Chapter II)
