According to the Memoir of Jane Austen, published in 1870 by her nephew James Edward Austen-Leigh, Jane Austen told her family that Kitty (Catherine) Bennet was "satisfactorily married to a clergyman near Pemberley", while Mary Bennet "obtained nothing higher than one of her uncle Philips' clerks" in marriage, and "was content to be considered a star in the society of Meryton".
