On page 32, Bella thinks this about the Cullens:
It seemed excessive for them to have both looks and money. But as far as I could tell, life worked that way most of the time.
Um. Wow. I'm thinking, right now, of all the beautiful people I've known in my life, none of whom was rich. And of all the people who are anything but beautiful who are rich. So there's another lovely facet of Bella's character: she thinks rich people are almost always pretty, and pretty people are almost always rich.
( The Cullens' pallid presence is a true blessing )
