She blinked and frowned as if she didn't understand what he meant.
'It's yours,' he advised softly. 'Don't waste it on petty conventions or conformity. Swim against the tide if you want to.”

“of them has a son, they would want to run Father’s estate until their child is old enough to do it.’ Her face puckered. ‘And I don’t know what would happen to me then!’ ‘Surely your father would leave you well provided for?’ Jenny said. ‘Especially if you were unmarried.’ ‘He’s very old-fashioned.’ Arabella’s eyes became moist. ‘He would leave me an annuity, I expect, but I wouldn’t have a house. He would expect my sisters and their husbands to have me live with them. And they won’t want to.’ Her bottom lip trembled. ‘I know that they won’t.’ She took out a lacy handkerchief”
