How beautiful rich women are!

"But then Mistress Polly was possessed of two hundred pounds, all her own, left to her by her grandmother, and on the strength of this extensive fortune had acquired a reputation for beauty and wit not easily accorded to a wench that had been penniless." (from The Elusive Pimpernel, by the Baronness Orczy)
