Description
Excerpt from The Grasshoppers
Mrs. Frere, like many a mother, lived in the hope of seeing her two girls married; and the wish in her kind heart proceeded from her sincere belief in the advantages of married life. She was not by any means without a little common worldly ambition. She would far rather have seen her children married to rich men than to poor ones; but she would confess Without much pressure, and without any shame, that in her opinion almost any existence as a married woman was preferable to a state of single blessedness. She was, in short, a person of antiquated views, Who would probably have told you that marriage and motherhood ought to be the end and aim of a woman''s life. Her beliefs were behind the times, but they were complimentary to her husband.
