A healthy dowry could go a long way to atone for unfortunate grandparents.
I do love a cross-over novel, and I’d love to see Caroline match wits with these gentlemen you have lined up for her.
Part of me wants her to choose Sir Walter, just to prevent the slimy Mr. Elliot from getting his way, but I’ll have to see what you’ve got planned for them.-
It is Sir Walter’s intention to disinherit Mr. Elliot, he’s the worst!
And yes, as they say wealth is a very strong bleach.

Nice article! Sounds interesting to do a crossover, I love variations with other Austen characters!
-
Thank you! Whenever I need an original character I see if I can borrow someone from another Austen novel 🙂

Interesting discussion of how much money affects your marriageability! I really enjoyed your take on Caroline in your book too 🙂
-
Thank you twice! It seems to like marrying up as a tradesman’s daughter or granddaughter (we aren’t sure who made the money), might have been the easiest way to enter the gentry.

Very interesting, I had never really thought about it before.

Thank you. P&P has so many unmarried girls left at the end, so I’ve always liked imagining who they might end up with!

Looking forward to reading your new story to find out the answer to the 20,000 pound question, “Who will marry Caroline Bingeley?” Or rather, “Who is desperate enough to marry CB?”
She’s not that bad in original P&P.-
No, she isn’t that bad. She is certainly a mean girl, but we also see the worst side of her because she’s jealous of Elizabeth.
I think she deserves a happy enough ending!
