Well written for its time. It's the “time” that has me dropping this down to a 3 from a 4 or 4.5. I just can't get past how “haughty” people were back then. Speaking opening about being rich, and marrying for being “rich”. In the end (spoiler alert, kind of), the ladies were happily married, but their mother still focused on how rich everyone was. I would rather (maybe naively) be rich in spirit and happiness than in monetary aspects.
