Matching Quote
"When a lady of wealth, is seen roaming about in search of cheaper articles, or trying to beat down a
shopkeeper
, or making a close bargain with those she employs, the impropriety is glaring to all minds. A person of wealth has no occasion to spend time in looking for extra cheap articles; her time could be more profitably employed in distributing to the wants of others. And the practice of beating down tradespeople, is vulgar and degrading, in any one."
-Catherine E. Beecher
