(In effect Edward Ferrars became a second son when his mother dishinherited him.) I did not want to include the wealthy landowners (earning income from managing and overseeing inherited land comes with a certain amount of privilege.)

Tilney[military]? -[did you not want to include the "odious" ones?] or what about the job of being a gentleman, though really an estate owner [Darcy, Mr. Knightley.
