    Matilda encourages Caroline to seek out a suitable man, commenting 'and then if (as is sometimes the case) an attractive external will lead such to investigate and acknowledge those amiable qualities which are (with all her vanities) the property of my friend, I shall be happy in contributing my part, to render that external not only the magnet that attracts, but the loadstone which points out the sphere of merit' (389).
