Portia Featherington: Penelope... you have spent your pin money changing your clothes, your hair, and it has had the desired effect. Lord Debling is a bird in the hand, and a very fine bird at that. Do not become greedy in your success. What more could you want? Oh, do not tell me you're holding out for love. Ugh! This is the very reason why I discouraged you from reading. Love is make-believe. It is only in your storybooks. Do you know what is romantic? Security. Be smart, Penelope. And if you will not be, then I will be for you.
