Life

“It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.”

Jane Austen
Pride and Prejudice
Keep wandering

Austen is being ironic here. Everyone assumes a rich bachelor must be hunting for a wife - which really shows how her world treats marriage as a marketplace, not a romance.
