Thank you! Then that is definitely not the book. In this book there is definitely a visit to the sister/relative/acquaintance, who lives in modest but not poor means, with her husband and possibly children as well, and she and her husband are still rather young-ish. I even have a mental image of the room they visited in as I remember it being described well in the book, and the visit was probably towards the middle-ish part of the book.
As far as I can remember, and I could be wrong here, the visit served to make clear to the protagonist that perhaps her sister hadn't married so well and she may or may not be better off not following her example. But this is a bit of pulling specifics out of thin air that may not be correct.
And let me add the possible mea culpa that perhaps her name may not even be Isabella since I haven't had any luck here or on Google figuring this out, though in my mind there seems to be a strong insinuation that it is.
