Would it not be better for her to say to them at once that there must be a division among them, an absolute breaking off of all old ties, so that it should be tacitly acknowledged that she, Georgiana, had gone out from among the Longestaffes altogether, and had become one with the Melmottes, Brehgerts, and Goldsheiners?
If it were necessary that she should really go down into another and a much lower world, a world composed altogether of Brehgerts, Melmottes, and Cohenlupes, would it avail her much to be the mistress of a gorgeous house? She had known, and understood, and had revelled in the exclusiveness of county position.
Unless married from the Melmottes' house, she must go down to Caversham for the occasion, which would be intolerable. No, she must separate herself altogether from father and mother, and become one with the Melmottes and the Brehgerts, till she could live it down and make a position for herself. If the spending of money could do it, it should be done.
Her mother was dull, and her father pompous and often cross; but they were in the right set, miles removed from the Brehgerts and Melmottes, until her father himself had suggested to her that she should go to the house in Grosvenor Square.
