add. i am no stranger to the particulars of your youngest sister's
infamous elopement. i know it all; that the young man's marrying
her was a patched-up business, at the expense of your father and
uncle. and is such a girl to be my nephew's sister? is her
husband, who is the son of his late father's steward, to be his
brother? heaven and earth! - of what are you thinking? are the
shades of pemberley [mr. darcy's estate) to be thus polluted?
which theme does this excerpt best convey?
