“Every woman should marry for her own advantage since her husband will represent her as visible as her front door[...] If she chooses a wastrel she will be avoidedd by all her neighbours as a poor woman; catch a duke and she will be Your Grace[...]. She can be pious, she can be learned she can be witty and wise and beautiful; but if she is married to a fool she will be that 'poor Mrs Fool' until the day he dies.” — Philippa Gregory
