I was re-reading and I noticed that a couple different times there are implications that Mary King's dowry isn't very large. (The one that remember is after Lizzie reads Darcy's letter and thinks about "the meagerness" of her fortune.)

But it's 10,000 pounds, I believe and second only to Georgiana's in the book. And Georgiana happens to be from one of the wealthiest families in the country. It's definitely more than any of the Bennet sisters and I am assuming Charlotte's. Is there something I am missing?

Thank you.

Edit: Thank you everyone!
