About This Quote

In this quote from Jane Austen's "Pride and Prejudice," Caroline Bennet is outraged that her husband, Mr. Bingley, keeps secrets from her. She is especially shocked that he has been keeping secrets from her for months and she feels betrayed by his lack of transparency. She doesn't think they have a marriage in which she can trust him to be honest.

He has kept a lot of secrets from her and they have been married for over a year. He knows what she thinks of him and what his future holds, yet he refuses to tell her anything about his past or the future. She takes this as a sign that he does not trust her with his life or his dreams or that he sees her as nothing more than his wife.
