What does it mean to be "at York" ?
Chapter 20
"Charlotte's reply was spared by the entrance of Jane and Elizabeth.
``Aye, there she comes,'' continued Mrs. Bennet, ``looking as unconcerned as may be,
and caring no more for us than if we were at York, provided she can have her own way."
This place must have a significant meaning to a Britisher, but I'm afraid this American can only conjecture that she makes some allusion to a financially rich environment.
Can anybody shed some light on this subject?
