[Just having a bit of fun here with a writing prompt to write a letter to a fictional character.]
My dear Mrs. Bennett,
It is a truth
though not yet universally acknowledged
that not every young man
whether of good fortune or no
Is necessarily
in want of a wife.
Nor, for that matter,
is every young woman
in want of a husband.
Moreover
To speak of people as property
rightful or otherwise
must now make every person
of any sense and sensibility
cringe.
It is a matter of pride
to eschew such prejudice.
I hope it needs but little persuasion
to help you see the error of your ways.
Though I should not wish to imperil
the humor of your absurdities.
Your faithful friend,
Adrienne
