"Getting married, please to observe, is not the sole object of society, however important. The less such a design is apparent, the more likely is it to succeed. There are thousands of men who have a horror of matchmakers--of mothers who spread their nets, of daughters whose sole object and whose only thought is to catch a husband, and who are ready to accept any good match that offers" (Manners for All [1898] 38).
