Mr. Tilney says:

“Particularly well; I always buy my own cravats, and I am allowed to be an excellent judge; and my sister has often trusted me in the choice of a gown. I bought one for her the other day and it was pronounced to be a prodigious bargain by every lady who saw it. I gave but five shillings a yard for it, and a true Indian muslin.”

Translation:

“Yeah, I know fashion very well.”
