George. It isn't merely a question of money. I just mention that as one thing–one of the important things. In addition to that, I think you are both too young to marry. I don't think you know your own minds, and I am not at all persuaded that, with what I venture to call your outrageous tastes—you and my niece will live happily together. Just because she thinks she loves you, Dinah may persuade herself now that she agrees with all you say and do, but she has been properly brought up in an honest English country household–and–er–she–well, in short, I cannot at all approve of any engagement between you. Olivia, if this Mr.–er–Pim comes, I shall be down at the farm. You might send him along to me.
