This lit\u00adtle<\/span> work was fin\u00adished in the year 1803, and intend\u00aded for imme\u00addi\u00adate pub\u00adli\u00adca\u00adtion. It was dis\u00adposed of<\/span> to a book\u00adseller, it was even adver\u00adtised, and why the busi\u00adness pro\u00adceed\u00aded no far\u00adther<\/span>, the author has nev\u00ader been able to learn. That any book\u00adseller should think it worth-while to pur\u00adchase what he did not think it worth-while to pub\u00adlish seems extra\u00ador\u00addi\u00adnary. But with this, nei\u00adther the author nor the pub\u00adlic have any oth\u00ader con\u00adcern than as some obser\u00adva\u00adtion is nec\u00ades\u00adsary upon those parts of the work which thir\u00adteen years have made com\u00adpar\u00ada\u00adtive\u00adly obso\u00adlete<\/span>. The pub\u00adlic are entreat\u00aded<\/span> to bear in mind<\/span> that thir\u00adteen years have passed since it was fin\u00adished, many more since it was begun, and that dur\u00ading that peri\u00adod, places, man\u00adners, books, and opin\u00adions have under\u00adgone con\u00adsid\u00ader\u00adable changes.<\/p>\n

No one<\/span> who had ever seen Cather\u00adine Mor\u00adland in her infan\u00adcy would have sup\u00adposed her born to be an hero\u00adine. Her sit\u00adu\u00ada\u00adtion in life, the char\u00adac\u00adter of her father and moth\u00ader, her own per\u00adson and dis\u00adpo\u00adsi\u00adtion, were all equal\u00adly against her. Her father was a cler\u00adgy\u00adman<\/span>, with\u00adout being neglect\u00aded<\/span>, or poor, and a very respectable man, though his name was Richard \u2013 and he had nev\u00ader been hand\u00adsome. He had a con\u00adsid\u00ader\u00adable inde\u00adpen\u00addence besides two good liv\u00adings<\/span> \u2013 and he was not in the least<\/span> addict\u00aded<\/span> to lock\u00ading up<\/span> his daugh\u00adters. Her moth\u00ader was a woman of use\u00adful plain sense<\/span>, with a good tem\u00adper<\/span>, nd, what is more remark\u00adable, with a good con\u00adsti\u00adtu\u00adtion<\/span>. She had three sons before Cather\u00adine was born; and instead of dying in bring\u00ading the lat\u00adter into the world<\/span>, as any\u00adbody might expect, she still lived on \u2013 lived to have six chil\u00addren more \u2013 to see them grow\u00ading up around her, and to enjoy excel\u00adlent health her\u00adself. A fam\u00adi\u00adly of ten chil\u00addren will be always called a fine fam\u00adi\u00adly, where there are heads and arms and legs enough for the num\u00adber; but the Mor\u00adlands had lit\u00adtle oth\u00ader right to the word, for they were in gen\u00ader\u00adal very plain, and Cather\u00adine, for many years of her life, as plain as any. She had a thin awk\u00adward<\/span> fig\u00adure, a sal\u00adlow<\/span> skin with\u00adout colour, dark lank<\/span> hair, and strong fea\u00adtures \u2013 so much for her per\u00adson; and not less unpro\u00adpi\u00adtious<\/span> for hero\u00adism seemed her mind. She was fond of<\/span> all boy\u2019s plays, and great\u00adly pre\u00adferred crick\u00adet not mere\u00adly to dolls, but to the more hero\u00adic enjoy\u00adments of infan\u00adcy, nurs\u00ading a dor\u00admouse<\/span>, feed\u00ading a canary<\/span>-bird, or water\u00ading a rose-bush. Indeed she had no taste for<\/span> a gar\u00adden; and if she gath\u00adered flow\u00aders at all<\/span>, it was chiefly for the plea\u00adsure of mis\u00adchief<\/span> \u2013 at least<\/span> so it was con\u00adjec\u00adtured<\/span> from her always pre\u00adfer\u00adring those which she was for\u00adbid\u00adden to take. Such were her propen\u00adsi\u00adties<\/span> \u2013 her abil\u00adi\u00adties were quite as extra\u00ador\u00addi\u00adnary. She nev\u00ader could learn or under\u00adstand any\u00adthing before she was taught; and some\u00adtimes not even then, for she was often inat\u00adten\u00adtive, and occa\u00adsion\u00adal\u00adly stu\u00adpid. Her moth\u00ader was three months in teach\u00ading her only to repeat the \u201cBeggar\u2019s Peti\u00adtion\u201d<\/span>; and after all<\/span>, her next sis\u00adter, Sal\u00adly, could say it bet\u00adter than she did. Not that Cather\u00adine was always stu\u00adpid \u2013 by no means<\/span>; she learnt the fable<\/span> of \u201cThe Hare and Many Friends<\/span>\u201d as quick\u00adly as any girl in Eng\u00adland. Her moth\u00ader wished her to learn music; and Cather\u00adine was sure she should like it, for she was very fond of<\/span> tin\u00adkling<\/span> the keys of the old for\u00adlorn<\/span> spin\u00adner<\/span>; so, at eight years old she began. She learnt a year, and could not bear<\/span> it; and Mrs. Mor\u00adland, who did not insist on her daugh\u00adters being accom\u00adplished in spite of<\/span> inca\u00adpac\u00adi\u00adty or dis\u00adtaste, allowed<\/span> her to leave off<\/span>. The day which dis\u00admissed the music-mas\u00adter was one of the hap\u00adpi\u00adest of Catherine\u2019s life. Her taste for<\/span> draw\u00ading was not supe\u00adri\u00ador; though when\u00adev\u00ader she could obtain the out\u00adside of a let\u00adter from her moth\u00ader or seize upon any oth\u00ader odd piece of paper, she did what she could in that way, by draw\u00ading hous\u00ades and trees, hens<\/span> and chick\u00adens, all very much like one anoth\u00ader. Writ\u00ading and accounts she was taught by her father; French by her moth\u00ader: her pro\u00adfi\u00adcien\u00adcy<\/span> in either was not remark\u00adable, and she shirked<\/span> her lessons in both when\u00adev\u00ader she could. What a strange, unac\u00adcount\u00adable<\/span> char\u00adac\u00adter! \u2013 for with all these symp\u00adtoms of profli\u00adga\u00adcy<\/span> at ten years old, she had nei\u00adther a bad heart nor a bad tem\u00adper<\/span>, was sel\u00addom stub\u00adborn<\/span>, scarce\u00adly<\/span> ever quar\u00adrel\u00adsome<\/span>, and very kind to the lit\u00adtle ones, with few inter\u00adrup\u00adtions of tyran\u00adny<\/span>; she was more\u00adover noisy and wild, hat\u00aded con\u00adfine\u00adment<\/span> and clean\u00adli\u00adness<\/span>, and loved noth\u00ading so well in the world as rolling down the green slope at the back of the house.<\/p>\n

Such was Cather\u00adine Mor\u00adland at ten. At fif\u00adteen, appear\u00adances were mend\u00ading<\/span>; she began to curl<\/span> her hair and long<\/span> for balls<\/span>; her com\u00adplex\u00adion<\/span> improved, her fea\u00adtures were soft\u00adened by plump\u00adness<\/span> and colour, her eyes gained more ani\u00adma\u00adtion, and her fig\u00adure more con\u00adse\u00adquence. Her love of dirt gave way<\/span> to an incli\u00adna\u00adtion<\/span> for fin\u00adery<\/span>, and she grew clean as she grew smart; she had now the plea\u00adsure of some\u00adtimes hear\u00ading her father and moth\u00ader remark on her per\u00adson\u00adal improve\u00adment. \u201cCather\u00adine grows quite a good-look\u00ading girl \u2013 she is almost pret\u00adty today,\u201d were words which caught her ears now and then<\/span>; and how wel\u00adcome were the sounds! To look almost pret\u00adty is an acqui\u00adsi\u00adtion of high\u00ader delight to a girl who has been look\u00ading plain the first fif\u00adteen years of her life than a beau\u00adty from her cra\u00addle<\/span> can ever receive.<\/p>\n

Mrs. Mor\u00adland was a very good woman, and wished to see her chil\u00addren every\u00adthing they ought to be; but her time was so much occu\u00adpied in lying-in<\/span> and teach\u00ading the lit\u00adtle ones, that her elder daugh\u00adters were inevitably left to shift for them\u00adselves<\/span>; and it was not very won\u00adder\u00adful that Cather\u00adine, who had by nature noth\u00ading hero\u00adic about her, should pre\u00adfer crick\u00adet, base\u00adball, rid\u00ading on horse\u00adback, and run\u00adning about the coun\u00adtry<\/span> at the age of four\u00adteen, to books \u2013 or at least<\/span> books of infor\u00adma\u00adtion \u2013 for, pro\u00advid\u00aded<\/span> that noth\u00ading like use\u00adful knowl\u00adedge could be gained from them, pro\u00advid\u00aded<\/span> they were all sto\u00adry and no reflec\u00adtion, she had nev\u00ader any objec\u00adtion<\/span> to books at all<\/span>. But from fif\u00adteen to sev\u00aden\u00adteen she was in train\u00ading for a hero\u00adine; she read all such works as hero\u00adines must read to sup\u00adply their mem\u00ado\u00adries with those quo\u00adta\u00adtions<\/span> which are so ser\u00advice\u00adable<\/span> and so sooth\u00ading<\/span> in the vicis\u00adsi\u00adtudes<\/span> of their event\u00adful<\/span> lives.<\/p>\n

From Pope<\/span>, she learnt to cen\u00adsure<\/span> those who<\/p>\n

\u201cbear<\/span> about the mock\u00adery<\/span> of woe<\/span>.\u201d<\/p>\n

From Gray<\/span>, that \u201cMany a flower is born to blush<\/span> unseen,<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd waste its fra\u00adgrance<\/span> on the desert air.\u201d<\/p>\n

From Thomp\u00adson<\/span>, that \u2013 \u201cIt is a delight\u00adful<\/span> task<\/p>\n

\u201cTo teach the young idea how to shoot.\u201d<\/p>\n

And from Shake\u00adspeare she gained a great store of infor\u00adma\u00adtion \u2013 amongst the rest, that<\/p>\n

\u2013 \u201cTri\u00adfles<\/span> light as air,<\/p>\n

\u201cAre, to the jeal\u00adous<\/span>, con\u00adfir\u00adma\u00adtion strong,<\/p>\n

\u201cAs proofs of Holy Writ<\/span>.\u201d<\/p>\n

That<\/p>\n

\u201cThe poor bee\u00adtle<\/span>, which we tread<\/span> upon,<\/p>\n

\u201cIn cor\u00adpo\u00adral<\/span> suf\u00adfer\u00adance feels a pang<\/span> as great \u201cAs when a giant dies.\u201d<\/p>\n

And that a young woman in love always looks<\/p>\n

\u2013 \u201clike Patience on a monument<\/p>\n

\u201cSmil\u00ading at Grief.\u201d<\/p>\n

So far her improve\u00adment was suf\u00adfi\u00adcient \u2013 and in many oth\u00ader points she came on<\/span> exceed\u00ading\u00adly well; for though she could not write son\u00adnets<\/span>, she brought her\u00adself to read them; and though there seemed no chance of her throw\u00ading a whole par\u00adty into rap\u00adtures<\/span> by a pre\u00adlude<\/span> on the pianoforte<\/span>, of her own com\u00adpo\u00adsi\u00adtion, she could lis\u00adten to oth\u00ader people\u2019s per\u00adfor\u00admance with very lit\u00adtle fatigue<\/span>. Her great\u00adest defi\u00adcien\u00adcy<\/span> was in the pen\u00adcil \u2013 she had no notion<\/span> of draw\u00ading \u2013 not enough even to attempt a sketch<\/span> of her lover\u2019s pro\u00adfile, that she might be detect\u00aded in the design. There she fell mis\u00ader\u00adably short of<\/span> the true hero\u00adic height. At present she did not know her own pover\u00adty, for she had no lover to por\u00adtray. She had reached the age of sev\u00aden\u00adteen, with\u00adout hav\u00ading seen one ami\u00adable<\/span> youth who could call forth<\/span> her sen\u00adsi\u00adbil\u00adi\u00adty, with\u00adout hav\u00ading inspired one real pas\u00adsion, and with\u00adout hav\u00ading excit\u00aded even any admi\u00adra\u00adtion but what was very mod\u00ader\u00adate and very tran\u00adsient<\/span>. This was strange indeed! But strange things may be gen\u00ader\u00adal\u00adly account\u00aded for<\/span> if their cause be fair\u00adly searched out. There was not one lord in the neigh\u00adbour\u00adhood; no \u2013 not even a baronet<\/span>. There was not one fam\u00adi\u00adly among their acquain\u00adtance who had reared and sup\u00adport\u00aded a boy acci\u00adden\u00adtal\u00adly<\/span> found at their door \u2013 not one young man whose ori\u00adgin was unknown. Her father had no ward<\/span>, and the squire<\/span> of the parish no children.<\/p>\n

But when a young lady is to be a hero\u00adine, the per\u00adverse\u00adness<\/span> of forty sur\u00adround\u00ading fam\u00adi\u00adlies can\u00adnot pre\u00advent her. Some\u00adthing must and will hap\u00adpen to throw a hero in her way.<\/p>\n

Mr. Allen, who owned the chief of<\/span> the prop\u00ader\u00adty about Fuller\u00adton, the vil\u00adlage in Wilt\u00adshire<\/span> where the Mor\u00adlands lived, was ordered to Bath for the ben\u00ade\u00adfit of<\/span> a gouty<\/span> con\u00adsti\u00adtu\u00adtion<\/span> \u2013 and his lady, a good-humoured<\/span> woman, fond of<\/span> Miss Mor\u00adland, and prob\u00ada\u00adbly aware that if adven\u00adtures will not befall<\/span> a young lady in her own vil\u00adlage, she must seek them abroad, invit\u00aded her to go with them. Mr. and Mrs. Mor\u00adland were all com\u00adpli\u00adance<\/span>, and Cather\u00adine all happiness.<\/p>\n

But Mrs. Mor\u00adland knew so lit\u00adtle of lords and baronets<\/span>, that she enter\u00adtained<\/span> no notion<\/span> of their gen\u00ader\u00adal mis\u00adchie\u00advous\u00adness<\/span>, and was whol\u00adly unsus\u00adpi\u00adcious of dan\u00adger to her daugh\u00adter from their machi\u00adna\u00adtions<\/span>. Her cau\u00adtions were con\u00adfined to<\/span> the fol\u00adlow\u00ading points. \u201cI beg, Cather\u00adine, you will always wrap your\u00adself up very warm about the throat, when you come from the rooms<\/span> at night; and I wish you would try to keep some account of<\/span> the mon\u00adey you spend; I will give you this lit\u00adtle book on purpose.<\/p>\n

Sal\u00adly, or rather Sarah (for what young lady of com\u00admon gen\u00adtil\u00adi\u00adty<\/span> will reach the age of six\u00adteen with\u00adout alter\u00ading her name as far as she can?), must from sit\u00adu\u00ada\u00adtion be at this time the inti\u00admate<\/span> friend and con\u00adfi\u00addante<\/span> of her sis\u00adter. It is remark\u00adable, how\u00adev\u00ader, that she nei\u00adther insist\u00aded on Catherine\u2019s writ\u00ading by every post, nor exact\u00aded<\/span> her promise of trans\u00admit\u00adting the char\u00adac\u00adter of every new acquain\u00adtance, nor a detail of every inter\u00adest\u00ading con\u00adver\u00adsa\u00adtion that Bath might pro\u00adduce. Every\u00adthing indeed rel\u00ada\u00adtive to this impor\u00adtant jour\u00adney was done, on the part of the Mor\u00adlands, with a degree of mod\u00ader\u00ada\u00adtion<\/span> and com\u00adpo\u00adsure<\/span>, which seemed rather con\u00adsis\u00adtent with<\/span> the com\u00admon feel\u00adings of com\u00admon life, than with the refined sus\u00adcep\u00adti\u00adbil\u00adi\u00adties<\/span>, the ten\u00adder emo\u00adtions which the first sep\u00ada\u00adra\u00adtion of a hero\u00adine from her fam\u00adi\u00adly ought always to excite. Her father, instead of giv\u00ading her an unlim\u00adit\u00aded order<\/span> on his banker, or even putting an hun\u00addred pounds bank-bill into her hands, gave her only ten guineas<\/span>, and promised her more when she want\u00aded it.<\/p>\n

Under these unpromis\u00ading aus\u00adpices<\/span>, the part\u00ading took place<\/span>, and the jour\u00adney began. It was per\u00adformed with suit\u00adable quiet\u00adness and unevent\u00adful<\/span> safe\u00adty. Nei\u00adther rob\u00adbers<\/span> nor tem\u00adpests<\/span> befriend\u00aded<\/span> them, nor one lucky over\u00adturn to intro\u00adduce them to the hero. Noth\u00ading more alarm\u00ading occurred than a fear, on Mrs. Allen\u2019s side, of hav\u00ading once left her clogs behind her<\/span> at an inn, and that for\u00adtu\u00adnate\u00adly proved to be groundless.<\/p>\n

They arrived at Bath. Cather\u00adine was all eager delight \u2013 her eyes were here, there, every\u00adwhere, as they approached its fine and strik\u00ading envi\u00adrons<\/span>, and after\u00adwards drove through those streets which con\u00adduct\u00aded them to the hotel. She was come to<\/span> be hap\u00adpy, and she felt hap\u00adpy already.<\/p>\n

They were soon set\u00adtled in com\u00adfort\u00adable lodg\u00adings<\/span> in Pul\u00adteney Street<\/span>.<\/p>\n

It is now expe\u00addi\u00adent<\/span> to give some descrip\u00adtion of Mrs. Allen, that the read\u00ader may be able to judge in what man\u00adner her actions will here\u00adafter<\/span> tend to pro\u00admote the gen\u00ader\u00adal dis\u00adtress<\/span> of the work, and how she will, prob\u00ada\u00adbly, con\u00adtribute to reduce poor Cather\u00adine to<\/span> all the des\u00adper\u00adate wretched\u00adness<\/span> of which a last vol\u00adume<\/span> is capa\u00adble \u2013 whether by her impru\u00addence<\/span>, vul\u00adgar\u00adi\u00adty, or jeal\u00adousy<\/span> \u2013 whether by inter\u00adcept\u00ading<\/span> her let\u00adters, ruin\u00ading her char\u00adac\u00adter, or turn\u00ading her out of doors<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Mrs. Allen was one of that numer\u00adous class of females, whose soci\u00adety can raise no oth\u00ader emo\u00adtion than sur\u00adprise at there being any men in the world who could like them well enough to mar\u00adry them. She had nei\u00adther beau\u00adty, genius, accom\u00adplish\u00adment, nor man\u00adner. The air<\/span> of a gen\u00adtle\u00adwoman<\/span>, a great deal<\/span> of qui\u00adet, inac\u00adtive good tem\u00adper<\/span>, and a tri\u00adfling<\/span> turn of mind<\/span> were all that could account for<\/span> her being the choice of a sen\u00adsi\u00adble, intel\u00adli\u00adgent man like Mr. Allen. In one respect<\/span> she was admirably<\/span> fit\u00adted to intro\u00adduce a young lady into pub\u00adlic, being as fond of<\/span> going every\u00adwhere and see\u00ading every\u00adthing her\u00adself as any young lady could be. Dress was her pas\u00adsion. She had a most harm\u00adless delight in being fine; and our heroine\u2019s entree<\/span> into life could not take place<\/span> till after three or four days had been spent in learn\u00ading what was most\u00adly worn, and her chap\u00ader\u00adone<\/span> was pro\u00advid\u00aded with a dress of the newest fash\u00adion. Cather\u00adine too made some pur\u00adchas\u00ades her\u00adself, and when all these mat\u00adters were arranged, the impor\u00adtant evening came which was to ush\u00ader<\/span> her in Upper Rooms<\/span>. Her hair was cut and dressed by the best hand<\/span>, her clothes put on<\/span> with care, and both Mrs. Allen and her maid<\/span> declared she looked quite as she should do. With such encour\u00adage\u00adment, Cather\u00adine hoped at least<\/span> to pass uncen\u00adsured<\/span> through the crowd. As for admi\u00adra\u00adtion, it was always very wel\u00adcome when it came, but she did not depend on<\/span> it.<\/p>\n

Mrs. Allen was so long in dress\u00ading that they did not enter the ball\u00adroom<\/span> till late. The sea\u00adson was full<\/span>, the room crowd\u00aded, and the two ladies squeezed in<\/span> as well as they could. As for Mr. Allen, he repaired direct\u00adly to<\/span> the card-room, and left them to enjoy a mob<\/span> by them\u00adselves. With more care for the safe\u00adty of her new gown<\/span> than for the com\u00adfort of her pro\u00adt\u00e9g\u00e9e<\/span>, Mrs. Allen made her way through the throng<\/span> of men by the door, as swift\u00adly as the nec\u00ades\u00adsary cau\u00adtion would allow; Cather\u00adine, how\u00adev\u00ader, kept close at her side, and linked her arm too firm\u00adly with\u00adin her friend\u2019s to be torn asun\u00adder<\/span> by any com\u00admon effort of a strug\u00adgling assem\u00adbly<\/span>. But to her utter<\/span> amaze\u00adment she found that to pro\u00adceed along the room was by no means<\/span> the way to dis\u00aden\u00adgage them\u00adselves from the crowd; it seemed rather to increase as they went on, where\u00adas she had imag\u00adined that when once fair\u00adly with\u00adin the door, they should eas\u00adi\u00adly find seats and be able to watch the dances with per\u00adfect con\u00adve\u00adnience. But this was far from being the case, and though by unwea\u00adried<\/span> dili\u00adgence<\/span> they gained<\/span> even the top of the room, their sit\u00adu\u00ada\u00adtion was just the same; they saw noth\u00ading of the dancers but the high feath\u00aders of some of the ladies. Still they moved on \u2013 some\u00adthing bet\u00adter was yet in view; and by a con\u00adtin\u00adued exer\u00adtion<\/span> of strength and inge\u00adnu\u00adity<\/span> they found them\u00adselves at last in the pas\u00adsage behind the high\u00adest bench. Here there was some\u00adthing less of crowd than below; and hence<\/span> Miss Mor\u00adland had a com\u00adpre\u00adhen\u00adsive<\/span> view of all the com\u00adpa\u00adny beneath her, and of all the dan\u00adgers of her late pas\u00adsage through them. It was a splen\u00addid<\/span> sight, and she began, for the first time that evening, to feel her\u00adself at a ball<\/span>: she longed<\/span> to dance, but she had not an acquain\u00adtance in the room. Mrs. Allen did all that she could do in such a case by say\u00ading very placid\u00adly<\/span>, every now and then<\/span>, \u201cI wish you could dance, my dear \u2013 I wish you could get a part\u00adner.\u201d For some time her young friend felt oblig\u00aded to her for these wish\u00ades; but they were repeat\u00aded so often, and proved so total\u00adly inef\u00adfec\u00adtu\u00adal<\/span>, that Cather\u00adine grew tired at last, and would thank her no more.<\/p>\n

They were not long able, how\u00adev\u00ader, to enjoy the repose<\/span> of the emi\u00adnence<\/span> they had so labo\u00adri\u00adous\u00adly<\/span> gained. Every\u00adbody was short\u00adly in motion for<\/span> tea, and they must squeeze out<\/span> like the rest. Cather\u00adine began to feel some\u00adthing of<\/span> dis\u00adap\u00adpoint\u00adment \u2013 she was tired of being con\u00adtin\u00adu\u00adal\u00adly pressed against by peo\u00adple, the gen\u00ader\u00adal\u00adi\u00adty<\/span> of whose faces pos\u00adsessed noth\u00ading to inter\u00adest, and with all of whom she was so whol\u00adly unac\u00adquaint\u00aded that she could not relieve the irk\u00adsome\u00adness<\/span> of impris\u00adon\u00adment<\/span> by the exchange of a syl\u00adla\u00adble<\/span> with any of her fel\u00adlow cap\u00adtives<\/span>; and when at last arrived in the tea-room, she felt yet more the awk\u00adward\u00adness<\/span> of hav\u00ading no par\u00adty to join, no acquain\u00adtance to claim, no gen\u00adtle\u00adman to assist them. They saw noth\u00ading of Mr. Allen; and after look\u00ading about them in vain<\/span> for a more eli\u00adgi\u00adble<\/span> sit\u00adu\u00ada\u00adtion, were oblig\u00aded to sit down at the end of a table, at which a large par\u00adty were already placed, with\u00adout hav\u00ading any\u00adthing to do there, or any\u00adbody to speak to, except each other.<\/p>\n

Mrs. Allen con\u00adgrat\u00adu\u00adlat\u00aded her\u00adself, as soon as<\/span> they were seat\u00aded, on hav\u00ading pre\u00adserved her gown<\/span> from injury. \u201cIt would have been very shock\u00ading to have it torn,\u201d said she, \u201cwould not it? It is such a del\u00adi\u00adcate muslin<\/span>. For my part<\/span> I have not seen any\u00adthing I like so well in the whole room, I assure you.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHow uncom\u00adfort\u00adable it is,\u201d whis\u00adpered Cather\u00adine, \u201cnot to have a sin\u00adgle acquain\u00adtance here!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, my dear,\u201d replied Mrs. Allen, with per\u00adfect seren\u00adi\u00adty<\/span>, \u201cit is very uncom\u00adfort\u00adable indeed.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat shall we do? The gen\u00adtle\u00admen and ladies at this table look as if they won\u00addered why we came here \u2013 we seem forc\u00ading our\u00adselves into their par\u00adty<\/span>.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAye<\/span>, so we do. That is very dis\u00adagree\u00adable. I wish we had a large acquain\u00adtance here.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI wish we had any \u2013 it would be some\u00adbody to go to.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cVery true, my dear; and if we knew any\u00adbody we would join them direct\u00adly. The Skin\u00adners were here last year \u2013 I wish they were here now.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHad not we bet\u00adter go away as it is<\/span>? Here are no tea-things for us, you see.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo more there are, indeed. How very pro\u00advok\u00ading! But I think we had bet\u00adter<\/span> sit still, for one gets so tum\u00adbled<\/span> in such a crowd! How is my head, my dear? Some\u00adbody gave me a push that has hurt it, I am afraid.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo, indeed, it looks very nice. But, dear Mrs. Allen, are you sure there is nobody you know in all this mul\u00adti\u00adtude<\/span> of peo\u00adple? I think you must know somebody.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t, upon my word<\/span> \u2013 I wish I did. I wish I had a large acquain\u00adtance here with all my heart<\/span>, and then I should get you a part\u00adner. I should be so glad to have you dance. There goes a strange-look\u00ading woman! What an odd gown<\/span> she has got on! How old-fash\u00adioned it is! Look at the back.\u201d<\/p>\n

After some time they received an offer of tea from one of their neigh\u00adbours; it was thank\u00adful\u00adly accept\u00aded, and this intro\u00adduced a light con\u00adver\u00adsa\u00adtion with the gen\u00adtle\u00adman who offered it, which was the only time that any\u00adbody spoke to them dur\u00ading the evening, till they were dis\u00adcov\u00adered and joined by Mr. Allen when the dance was over.<\/p>\n

\u201cWell, Miss Mor\u00adland,\u201d said he, direct\u00adly, \u201cI hope you have had an agree\u00adable ball<\/span>.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cVery agree\u00adable indeed,\u201d she replied, vain\u00adly<\/span> endeav\u00adour\u00ading<\/span> to hide a great yawn<\/span>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wish she had been able to dance,\u201d said his wife; \u201cI wish we could have got a part\u00adner for her. I have been say\u00ading how glad I should be if the Skin\u00adners were here this win\u00adter instead of last; or if the Par\u00adrys had come, as they talked of once, she might have danced with George Par\u00adry. I am so sor\u00adry she has not had a partner!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe shall do bet\u00adter anoth\u00ader evening I hope,\u201d was Mr. Allen\u2019s con\u00adso\u00adla\u00adtion<\/span>.<\/p>\n

The com\u00adpa\u00adny began to dis\u00adperse<\/span> when the danc\u00ading was over \u2013 enough to leave space for the remain\u00adder to walk about in some com\u00adfort; and now was the time for a hero\u00adine, who had not yet played a very dis\u00adtin\u00adguished part in the events of the evening, to be noticed and admired. Every five min\u00adutes, by remov\u00ading some of the crowd, gave greater open\u00adings for her charms. She was now seen by many young men who had not been near her before. Not one, how\u00adev\u00ader, start\u00aded with rap\u00adtur\u00adous<\/span> won\u00adder on behold\u00ading<\/span> her, no whis\u00adper of eager inquiry ran round the room, nor was she once called a divin\u00adi\u00adty<\/span> by any\u00adbody. Yet Cather\u00adine was in very good looks<\/span>, and had the com\u00adpa\u00adny only seen her three years before, they would now have thought her exceed\u00ading\u00adly handsome.<\/p>\n

She was looked at, how\u00adev\u00ader, and with some admi\u00adra\u00adtion; for, in her own hear\u00ading<\/span>, two gen\u00adtle\u00admen pro\u00adnounced<\/span> her to be a pret\u00adty girl. Such words had their due effect; she imme\u00addi\u00adate\u00adly thought the evening pleas\u00adan\u00adter than she had found it before \u2013 her hum\u00adble<\/span> van\u00adi\u00adty<\/span> was con\u00adtent\u00aded \u2013 she felt more oblig\u00aded to the two young men for this sim\u00adple praise than a true-qual\u00adi\u00adty hero\u00adine would have been for fif\u00adteen son\u00adnets<\/span> in cel\u00ade\u00adbra\u00adtion of her charms, and went to her chair in good humour<\/span> with every\u00adbody, and per\u00adfect\u00adly sat\u00adis\u00adfied with her share of pub\u00adlic attention.<\/p>\n

Every morn\u00ading<\/span> now brought its reg\u00adu\u00adlar duties \u2013 shops were to be vis\u00adit\u00aded; some new part of the town to be looked at; and the pump-room<\/span> to be attend\u00aded, where they parad\u00aded<\/span> up and down for an hour, look\u00ading at every\u00adbody and speak\u00ading to no one. The wish of a numer\u00adous acquain\u00adtance in Bath was still upper\u00admost<\/span> with Mrs. Allen, and she repeat\u00aded it after every fresh proof, which every morn\u00ading brought, of her know\u00ading nobody at all<\/span>.<\/p>\n

They made their appear\u00adance in the Low\u00ader Rooms<\/span>; and here for\u00adtune was more favourable to our hero\u00adine. The mas\u00adter of the cer\u00ade\u00admonies<\/span> intro\u00adduced to her a very gen\u00adtle\u00adman\u00adlike young man as a part\u00adner; his name was Tilney. He seemed to be about four or five and twen\u00adty, was rather tall, had a pleas\u00ading coun\u00adte\u00adnance<\/span>, a very intel\u00adli\u00adgent and live\u00adly eye, and, if not quite hand\u00adsome, was very near it. His address<\/span> was good, and Cather\u00adine felt her\u00adself in high luck<\/span>. There was lit\u00adtle leisure<\/span> for speak\u00ading while they danced; but when they were seat\u00aded at tea, she found him as agree\u00adable as she had already giv\u00aden him cred\u00adit for being<\/span>. He talked with flu\u00aden\u00adcy<\/span> and spir\u00adit<\/span> \u2013 and there was an arch\u00adness<\/span> and pleas\u00adantry<\/span> in his man\u00adner which inter\u00adest\u00aded, though it was hard\u00adly under\u00adstood by her. After chat\u00adting some time on such mat\u00adters as nat\u00adu\u00adral\u00adly arose from the objects around them, he sud\u00adden\u00adly addressed her with \u2013 \u201cI have hith\u00ader\u00adto<\/span> been very remiss<\/span>, madam, in the prop\u00ader atten\u00adtions<\/span> of a part\u00adner here; I have not yet asked you how long you have been in Bath; whether you were ever here before; whether you have been Upper Rooms<\/span>, the the\u00adatre, and the con\u00adcert; and how you like the place alto\u00adgeth\u00ader. I have been very neg\u00adli\u00adgent<\/span> \u2013 but are you now at leisure<\/span> to sat\u00adis\u00adfy me in these par\u00adtic\u00adu\u00adlars<\/span>? If you are I will begin directly.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou need not give your\u00adself that trou\u00adble<\/span>, sir.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo trou\u00adble, I assure you, madam.\u201d Then form\u00ading his fea\u00adtures into a set smile, and affect\u00aded\u00adly<\/span> soft\u00aden\u00ading his voice, he added, with a sim\u00adper\u00ading<\/span> air<\/span>, \u201cHave you been long in Bath, madam?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAbout a week, sir,\u201d replied Cather\u00adine, try\u00ading not to laugh.<\/p>\n

\u201cReal\u00adly!\u201d with affect\u00aded astonishment.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy should you be sur\u00adprised, sir?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy, indeed!\u201d said he, in his nat\u00adur\u00adal tone. \u201cBut some emo\u00adtion must appear to be raised by your reply, and sur\u00adprise is more eas\u00adi\u00adly assumed, and not less rea\u00adson\u00adable than any oth\u00ader. Now let us go on. Were you nev\u00ader here before, madam?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNev\u00ader, sir.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIndeed! Have you yet hon\u00adoured the Upper Rooms<\/span>?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, sir, I was there last Monday.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHave you been to the theatre?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, sir, I was at the play on Tuesday.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cTo the concert?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, sir, on Wednesday.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd are you alto\u00adgeth\u00ader pleased with Bath?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYes \u2013 I like it very well.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNow I must give one smirk<\/span>, and then we may be ratio\u00adnal again.\u201d Cather\u00adine turned away her head, not know\u00ading whether she might ven\u00adture<\/span> to laugh. \u201cI see what you think of me,\u201d said he grave\u00adly<\/span> \u2013 \u201cI shall make but a poor fig\u00adure in your jour\u00adnal<\/span> tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMy jour\u00adnal<\/span>!\u201d \u201cYes, I know exact\u00adly what you will say: Fri\u00adday, went to the Low\u00ader Rooms<\/span>; wore my sprigged<\/span> muslin<\/span> robe<\/span> with blue trim\u00admings<\/span> \u2013 plain black shoes \u2013 appeared to much advan\u00adtage<\/span>; but was strange\u00adly harassed<\/span> by a queer, half-wit\u00adted<\/span> man, who would make me dance with him, and dis\u00adtressed<\/span> me by his nonsense.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIndeed I shall say no such thing.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cShall I tell you what you ought to say?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you please.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI danced with a very agree\u00adable young man, intro\u00adduced by Mr. King; had a great deal<\/span> of con\u00adver\u00adsa\u00adtion with him \u2013 seems a most extra\u00ador\u00addi\u00adnary genius \u2013 hope I may know more of him. That, madam, is what I wish you to say.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBut, per\u00adhaps, I keep no jour\u00adnal<\/span>.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cPer\u00adhaps you are not sit\u00adting in this room, and I am not sit\u00adting by you. These are points in which a doubt is equal\u00adly pos\u00adsi\u00adble. Not keep a jour\u00adnal<\/span>! How are your absent cousins to under\u00adstand the tenour<\/span> of your life in Bath with\u00adout one? How are the civil\u00adi\u00adties<\/span> and com\u00adpli\u00adments of every day to be relat\u00aded as they ought to be, unless not\u00aded down<\/span> every evening in a jour\u00adnal<\/span>? How are your var\u00adi\u00adous dress\u00ades to be remem\u00adbered, and the par\u00adtic\u00adu\u00adlar state of your com\u00adplex\u00adion<\/span>, and curl<\/span> of your hair to be described in all their diver\u00adsi\u00adties, with\u00adout hav\u00ading con\u00adstant recourse<\/span> to a jour\u00adnal<\/span>? My dear madam, I am not so igno\u00adrant of young ladies\u2019 ways<\/span> as you wish to believe me; it is this delight\u00adful habit of jour\u00adnal\u00ading<\/span> which large\u00adly con\u00adtributes to form the easy style of writ\u00ading for which ladies are so gen\u00ader\u00adal\u00adly cel\u00ade\u00adbrat\u00aded. Every\u00adbody allows<\/span> that the tal\u00adent<\/span> of writ\u00ading agree\u00adable let\u00adters is pecu\u00adliar\u00adly<\/span> female. Nature may have done some\u00adthing, but I am sure it must be essen\u00adtial\u00adly assist\u00aded by the prac\u00adtice of keep\u00ading a jour\u00adnal<\/span>.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI have some\u00adtimes thought,\u201d said Cather\u00adine, doubt\u00ading\u00adly, \u201cwhether ladies do write so much bet\u00adter let\u00adters than gen\u00adtle\u00admen! That is \u2013 I should not think the supe\u00adri\u00ador\u00adi\u00adty was always on our side.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAs far as I have had oppor\u00adtu\u00adni\u00adty of judg\u00ading, it appears to me that the usu\u00adal style of let\u00adter-writ\u00ading among women is fault\u00adless, except in three particulars.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd what are they?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cA gen\u00ader\u00adal defi\u00adcien\u00adcy<\/span> of sub\u00adject, a total inat\u00adten\u00adtion to stops, and a very fre\u00adquent igno\u00adrance of grammar.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cUpon my word!<\/span> I need not have been afraid of dis\u00adclaim\u00ading the com\u00adpli\u00adment. You do not think too high\u00adly of us in that way.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI should no more lay it down<\/span> as a gen\u00ader\u00adal rule that women write bet\u00adter let\u00adters than men, than that they sing bet\u00adter duets<\/span>, or draw bet\u00adter land\u00adscapes. In every pow\u00ader, of which taste is the foun\u00adda\u00adtion, excel\u00adlence is pret\u00adty fair\u00adly divid\u00aded between the sexes.\u201d<\/p>\n

They were inter\u00adrupt\u00aded by Mrs. Allen: \u201cMy dear Cather\u00adine,\u201d said she, \u201cdo take this pin out of my sleeve; I am afraid it has torn a hole already; I shall be quite sor\u00adry if it has, for this is a favourite gown<\/span>, though it cost but<\/span> nine shillings<\/span> a yard.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThat is exact\u00adly what I should have guessed it, madam,\u201d said Mr. Tilney, look\u00ading at the muslin<\/span>.<\/p>\n

\u201cDo you under\u00adstand muslins<\/span>, sir?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cPar\u00adtic\u00adu\u00adlar\u00adly well; I always buy my own cra\u00advats<\/span>, and am allowed to be an excel\u00adlent judge; and my sis\u00adter has often trust\u00aded me in the choice of a gown<\/span>. I bought one for her the oth\u00ader day, and it was pro\u00adnounced<\/span> to be a prodi\u00adgious<\/span> bar\u00adgain<\/span> by every lady who saw it. I gave but<\/span> five shillings<\/span> a yard for it, and a true Indi\u00adan muslin<\/span>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mrs. Allen was quite struck by<\/span> his genius<\/span>. \u201cMen com\u00admon\u00adly take so lit\u00adtle notice of those things,\u201d said she; \u201cI can nev\u00ader get Mr. Allen to know<\/span> one of my gowns<\/span> from anoth\u00ader. You must be a great com\u00adfort to your sis\u00adter<\/span>, sir.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI hope I am, madam.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd pray<\/span>, sir, what do you think of Miss Morland\u2019s gown<\/span>?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is very pret\u00adty, madam,\u201d said he, grave\u00adly<\/span> exam\u00adin\u00ading it; \u201cbut I do not think it will wash well; I am afraid it will fray<\/span>.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHow can you,\u201d said Cather\u00adine, laugh\u00ading, \u201cbe so \u2013 \u201c She had almost said \u201cstrange.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI am quite of your opin\u00adion<\/span>, sir,\u201d replied Mrs. Allen; \u201cand so I told Miss Mor\u00adland when she bought it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBut then you know, madam, muslin<\/span> always turns to some account<\/span> or oth\u00ader; Miss Mor\u00adland will get enough out of it for a hand\u00adker\u00adchief<\/span>, or a cap, or a cloak<\/span>. Muslin<\/span> can nev\u00ader be said to be wast\u00aded. I have heard my sis\u00adter say so forty times, when she has been extrav\u00ada\u00adgant in buy\u00ading more than she want\u00aded, or care\u00adless in cut\u00adting it to pieces.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBath is a charm\u00ading place, sir; there are so many good shops here. We are sad\u00adly off in the coun\u00adtry<\/span>; not but what<\/span> we have very good shops in Sal\u00adis\u00adbury<\/span>, but it is so far to go \u2013 eight miles is a long way; Mr. Allen says it is nine, mea\u00adsured nine; but I am sure it can\u00adnot be more than eight; and it is such a fag<\/span> \u2013 I come back tired to death. Now, here one can step out of doors and get a thing in five minutes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr. Tilney was polite<\/span> enough to seem inter\u00adest\u00aded in what she said; and she kept him on the sub\u00adject of<\/span> muslins<\/span> till the danc\u00ading recom\u00admenced<\/span>. Cather\u00adine feared, as she lis\u00adtened to their dis\u00adcourse<\/span>, that he indulged<\/span> him\u00adself a lit\u00adtle too much with the foibles<\/span> of oth\u00aders. \u201cWhat are you think\u00ading of so earnest\u00adly<\/span>?\u201d said he, as they walked back to the ball\u00adroom<\/span>; \u201cnot of your part\u00adner, I hope, for<\/span>, by that shake of the head, your med\u00adi\u00adta\u00adtions are not satisfactory.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cather\u00adine coloured, and said, \u201cI was not think\u00ading of anything.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThat is art\u00adful<\/span> and deep, to be sure; but I had rather be told at once that you will not tell me.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWell then, I will not.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThank you; for<\/span> now we shall soon be acquaint\u00aded, as I am autho\u00adrized to tease<\/span> you on this sub\u00adject when\u00adev\u00ader we meet, and noth\u00ading in the world advances inti\u00adma\u00adcy so much.\u201d<\/p>\n

They danced again; and, when the assem\u00adbly<\/span> closed, part\u00aded, on the lady\u2019s side at least<\/span>, with a strong incli\u00adna\u00adtion<\/span> for con\u00adtin\u00adu\u00ading the acquain\u00adtance. Whether she thought of him so much, while she drank her warm wine and water, and pre\u00adpared her\u00adself for bed, as to dream of him when there, can\u00adnot be ascer\u00adtained<\/span>; but I hope it was no more than in a slight slum\u00adber<\/span>, or a morn\u00ading doze<\/span> at most<\/span>; for if it be true, as a cel\u00ade\u00adbrat\u00aded writer has main\u00adtained, that no young lady can be jus\u00adti\u00adfied in falling in love<\/span> before the gentleman\u2019s love is declared,* it must be very improp\u00ader that a young lady should dream of a gen\u00adtle\u00adman before the gen\u00adtle\u00adman is first known to have dreamt of her. How prop\u00ader Mr. Tilney might be as a dream\u00ader or a lover had not yet per\u00adhaps entered Mr. Allen\u2019s head<\/span>, but that he was not objec\u00adtion\u00adable<\/span> as a com\u00admon acquain\u00adtance for his young charge<\/span> he was on inquiry sat\u00adis\u00adfied; for<\/span> he had ear\u00adly in the evening tak\u00aden pains<\/span> to know who her part\u00adner was, and had been assured of Mr. Tilney\u2019s being a cler\u00adgy\u00adman<\/span>, and of a very respectable fam\u00adi\u00adly in Glouces\u00adter\u00adshire<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Every crea\u00adture in Bath, except him\u00adself, was to be seen in the room at dif\u00adfer\u00adent peri\u00adods of the fash\u00adion\u00adable hours; crowds of peo\u00adple were every moment pass\u00ading in and out, up the steps and down; peo\u00adple whom nobody cared about<\/span>, and nobody want\u00aded to see; and he only was absent. \u201cWhat a delight\u00adful place Bath is,\u201d said Mrs. Allen as they sat down near the great clock, after parad\u00ading<\/span> the room till they were tired; \u201cand how pleas\u00adant it would be if we had any acquain\u00adtance here.\u201d<\/p>\n

This sen\u00adti\u00adment had been uttered<\/span> so often in vain<\/span> that Mrs. Allen had no par\u00adtic\u00adu\u00adlar rea\u00adson to hope it would be fol\u00adlowed with more advan\u00adtage now; but we are told to \u201cdespair of noth\u00ading we would attain<\/span>,\u201d as \u201cunwea\u00adried<\/span> dili\u00adgence<\/span> our point would gain\u201d; and the unwea\u00adried<\/span> dili\u00adgence<\/span> with which she had every day wished for the same thing was at length<\/span> to have its just reward, for hard\u00adly had she been seat\u00aded ten min\u00adutes before a lady of about her own age, who was sit\u00adting by her, and had been look\u00ading at her atten\u00adtive\u00adly for sev\u00ader\u00adal min\u00adutes, addressed her with great com\u00adplai\u00adsance<\/span> in these words: \u201cI think, madam, I can\u00adnot be mis\u00adtak\u00aden; it is a long time since I had the plea\u00adsure of see\u00ading you, but is not your name Allen?\u201d This ques\u00adtion answered, as it read\u00adi\u00adly was, the stranger pro\u00adnounced<\/span> hers to be Thor\u00adpe; and Mrs. Allen imme\u00addi\u00adate\u00adly rec\u00adog\u00adnized the fea\u00adtures of a for\u00admer schoolfel\u00adlow<\/span> and inti\u00admate<\/span>, whom she had seen only once since their respec\u00adtive mar\u00adriages, and that many years ago. Their joy on this meet\u00ading was very great, as well it might, since they had been con\u00adtent\u00aded to know noth\u00ading of each oth\u00ader for the last fif\u00adteen years. Com\u00adpli\u00adments on good looks<\/span> now passed; and, after observ\u00ading how time had slipped away<\/span> since they were last togeth\u00ader, how lit\u00adtle they had thought of meet\u00ading in Bath, and what a plea\u00adsure it was to see an old friend, they pro\u00adceed\u00aded to make inquiries and give intel\u00adli\u00adgence<\/span> as to their fam\u00adi\u00adlies, sis\u00adters, and cousins, talk\u00ading both togeth\u00ader, far more ready to give than to receive infor\u00adma\u00adtion, and each hear\u00ading very lit\u00adtle of what the oth\u00ader said. Mrs. Thor\u00adpe, how\u00adev\u00ader, had one great advan\u00adtage as a talk\u00ader<\/span>, over Mrs. Allen, in a fam\u00adi\u00adly of chil\u00addren; and when she expa\u00adti\u00adat\u00aded<\/span> on the tal\u00adents of her sons, and the beau\u00adty of her daugh\u00adters, when she relat\u00aded their dif\u00adfer\u00adent sit\u00adu\u00ada\u00adtions and views \u2013 that John was at Oxford, Edward at Mer\u00adchant Tay\u00adlors\u2019<\/span>, and William at sea \u2013 and all of them more beloved and respect\u00aded in their dif\u00adfer\u00adent sta\u00adtion than any oth\u00ader three beings ever were, Mrs. Allen had no sim\u00adi\u00adlar infor\u00adma\u00adtion to give, no sim\u00adi\u00adlar tri\u00adumphs to press on<\/span> the unwill\u00ading and unbe\u00adliev\u00ading ear of her friend, and was forced to sit and appear to lis\u00adten to all these mater\u00adnal effu\u00adsions<\/span>, con\u00adsol\u00ading<\/span> her\u00adself, how\u00adev\u00ader, with the dis\u00adcov\u00adery, which her keen eye soon made, that the lace<\/span> on Mrs. Thorpe\u2019s pelisse<\/span> was not half so hand\u00adsome as that on her own.<\/p>\n

\u201cHere come my dear girls,\u201d cried Mrs. Thor\u00adpe, point\u00ading at three smart-look\u00ading females who, arm in arm<\/span>, were then mov\u00ading towards her. \u201cMy dear Mrs. Allen, I long<\/span> to intro\u00adduce them; they will be so delight\u00aded to see you: the tallest is Isabel\u00adla, my eldest; is not she a fine young woman? The oth\u00aders are very much admired too, but I believe Isabel\u00adla is the handsomest.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Miss Thor\u00adpes were intro\u00adduced; and Miss Mor\u00adland, who had been for a short time for\u00adgot\u00adten, was intro\u00adduced like\u00adwise. The name seemed to strike them all; and, after speak\u00ading to her with great civil\u00adi\u00adty<\/span>, the eldest young lady observed aloud to the rest, \u201cHow exces\u00adsive\u00adly like her broth\u00ader Miss Mor\u00adland is!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe very pic\u00adture of him indeed!\u201d cried the moth\u00ader \u2013 and \u201cI should have known her any\u00adwhere for his sis\u00adter<\/span>!\u201d was repeat\u00aded by them all, two or three times over. For a moment Cather\u00adine was sur\u00adprised; but Mrs. Thor\u00adpe and her daugh\u00adters had scarce\u00adly<\/span> begun the his\u00adto\u00adry of their acquain\u00adtance with Mr. James Mor\u00adland, before she remem\u00adbered that her eldest broth\u00ader had late\u00adly formed an inti\u00adma\u00adcy<\/span> with a young man of his own col\u00adlege, of the name of Thor\u00adpe; and that he had spent the last week of the Christ\u00admas vaca\u00adtion with his fam\u00adi\u00adly, near London.<\/p>\n

The whole being explained, many oblig\u00ading<\/span> things were said by the Miss Thor\u00adpes of their wish of being bet\u00adter acquaint\u00aded with her; of being con\u00adsid\u00adered as already friends, through the friend\u00adship of their broth\u00aders, etc., which Cather\u00adine heard with plea\u00adsure, and answered with all the pret\u00adty expres\u00adsions she could com\u00admand<\/span>; and, as the first proof of ami\u00adty<\/span>, she was soon invit\u00aded to accept an arm of the eldest Miss Thor\u00adpe, and take a turn<\/span> with her about the room. Cather\u00adine was delight\u00aded with this exten\u00adsion of her Bath acquain\u00adtance, and almost for\u00adgot Mr. Tilney while she talked to Miss Thor\u00adpe. Friend\u00adship is cer\u00adtain\u00adly the finest balm<\/span> for the pangs<\/span> of dis\u00adap\u00adpoint\u00aded love.<\/p>\n

Their con\u00adver\u00adsa\u00adtion turned upon those sub\u00adjects, of which the free dis\u00adcus\u00adsion has gen\u00ader\u00adal\u00adly much to do in per\u00adfect\u00ading a sud\u00adden inti\u00adma\u00adcy between two young ladies: such as dress, balls<\/span>, flir\u00adta\u00adtions<\/span>, and quizzes<\/span>. Miss Thor\u00adpe, how\u00adev\u00ader, being four years old\u00ader than Miss Mor\u00adland, and at least<\/span> four years bet\u00adter informed, had a very decid\u00aded<\/span> advan\u00adtage in dis\u00adcussing such points; she could com\u00adpare the balls<\/span> of Bath with those of Tun\u00adbridge, its fash\u00adions with the fash\u00adions of Lon\u00addon; could rec\u00adti\u00adfy<\/span> the opin\u00adions of her new friend in many arti\u00adcles of taste\u00adful attire<\/span>; could dis\u00adcov\u00ader a flir\u00adta\u00adtion<\/span> between any gen\u00adtle\u00adman and lady who only smiled on each oth\u00ader; and point out a quiz<\/span> through the thick\u00adness of a crowd. These pow\u00aders received due admi\u00adra\u00adtion from Cather\u00adine, to whom they were entire\u00adly new; and the respect which they nat\u00adu\u00adral\u00adly inspired might have been too great for famil\u00adiar\u00adi\u00adty<\/span>, had not the easy gai\u00adety<\/span> of Miss Thorpe\u2019s man\u00adners, and her fre\u00adquent expres\u00adsions of delight on this acquain\u00adtance with her, soft\u00adened down every feel\u00ading of awe<\/span>, and left noth\u00ading but ten\u00adder affec\u00adtion. Their increas\u00ading attach\u00adment<\/span> was not to be sat\u00adis\u00adfied with half a dozen<\/span> turns in the pump-room<\/span>, but required, when they all quit\u00adted<\/span> it togeth\u00ader, that Miss Thor\u00adpe should accom\u00adpa\u00adny Miss Mor\u00adland to the very door of Mr. Allen\u2019s house; and that they should there part with a most affec\u00adtion\u00adate<\/span> and length\u00adened<\/span> shake of hands, after learn\u00ading, to their mutu\u00adal<\/span> relief, that they should see each oth\u00ader across the the\u00adatre at night, and say their prayers in the same chapel<\/span> the next morn\u00ading. Cather\u00adine then ran direct\u00adly upstairs, and watched Miss Thorpe\u2019s progress down the street from the draw\u00ading-room win\u00addow; admired the grace\u00adful<\/span> spir\u00adit of her walk, the fash\u00adion\u00adable air<\/span> of her fig\u00adure and dress; and felt grate\u00adful, as well she might, for the chance which had pro\u00adcured<\/span> her such a friend.<\/p>\n

Mrs. Thor\u00adpe was a wid\u00adow, and not a very rich one; she was a good-humoured<\/span>, well-mean\u00ading<\/span> woman, and a very indul\u00adgent<\/span> moth\u00ader. Her eldest daugh\u00adter had great per\u00adson\u00adal beau\u00adty, and the younger ones, by pre\u00adtend\u00ading to be as hand\u00adsome as their sis\u00adter, imi\u00adtat\u00ading her air<\/span>, and dress\u00ading in the same style, did very well<\/span>.<\/p>\n

This brief account<\/span> of the fam\u00adi\u00adly is intend\u00aded to super\u00adsede<\/span> the neces\u00adsi\u00adty of a long and minute<\/span> detail from Mrs. Thor\u00adpe her\u00adself, of her past adven\u00adtures and suf\u00adfer\u00adings, which might oth\u00ader\u00adwise be expect\u00aded to occu\u00adpy the three or four fol\u00adlow\u00ading chap\u00adters; in which the worth\u00adless\u00adness of lords and attornies<\/span> might be set forth<\/span>, and con\u00adver\u00adsa\u00adtions, which had passed twen\u00adty years before, be minute\u00adly<\/span> repeated.<\/p>\n

Cather\u00adine<\/span> was not so much engaged at the the\u00adatre that evening, in return\u00ading the nods<\/span> and smiles of Miss Thor\u00adpe, though they cer\u00adtain\u00adly claimed much of her leisure<\/span>, as to for\u00adget to look with an inquir\u00ading eye for Mr. Tilney in every box<\/span> which her eye could reach; but she looked in vain<\/span>. Mr. Tilney was no fonder of<\/span> the play than the pump-room<\/span>. She hoped to be more for\u00adtu\u00adnate<\/span> the next day; and when her wish\u00ades for fine weath\u00ader were answered by see\u00ading a beau\u00adti\u00adful morn\u00ading, she hard\u00adly felt a doubt of it; for<\/span> a fine Sun\u00adday in Bath emp\u00adties every house of its inhab\u00adi\u00adtants<\/span>, and all the world appears on such an occa\u00adsion to walk about and tell their acquain\u00adtance what a charm\u00ading day it is.<\/p>\n

As soon as<\/span> divine<\/span> ser\u00advice was over, the Thor\u00adpes and Allens eager\u00adly joined each oth\u00ader; and after stay\u00ading long enough in the pump-room<\/span> to dis\u00adcov\u00ader that the crowd was insup\u00adport\u00adable<\/span>, and that there was not a gen\u00adteel<\/span> face to be seen, which every\u00adbody dis\u00adcov\u00aders every Sun\u00adday through\u00adout the sea\u00adson, they has\u00adtened<\/span> away to the Cres\u00adcent<\/span>, to breathe the fresh air of bet\u00adter com\u00adpa\u00adny. Here Cather\u00adine and Isabel\u00adla, arm in arm<\/span>, again tast\u00aded the sweets of friend\u00adship in an unre\u00adserved con\u00adver\u00adsa\u00adtion; they talked much, and with much enjoy\u00adment; but again was Cather\u00adine dis\u00adap\u00adpoint\u00aded in her hope of resee\u00ading<\/span> her part\u00adner. He was nowhere to be met with; every search for him was equal\u00adly unsuc\u00adcess\u00adful, in morn\u00ading lounges<\/span> or evening assem\u00adblies<\/span>; nei\u00adther at the upper<\/span> nor low\u00ader rooms<\/span>, at dressed or undressed balls<\/span>, was he per\u00adceiv\u00adable<\/span>; nor among the walk\u00aders, the horse\u00admen, or the cur\u00adri\u00adcle<\/span>-dri\u00advers of the morn\u00ading. His name was not in the pump-room<\/span> book, and curios\u00adi\u00adty could do no more. He must be gone from Bath. Yet he had not men\u00adtioned that his stay would be so short! This sort of mys\u00adte\u00adri\u00adous\u00adness, which is always so becom\u00ading<\/span> in a hero, threw a fresh grace in Catherine\u2019s imag\u00adi\u00adna\u00adtion around his per\u00adson and man\u00adners, and increased her anx\u00adi\u00adety to know more of him. From the Thor\u00adpes she could learn noth\u00ading, for<\/span> they had been only two days in Bath before they met with Mrs. Allen. It was a sub\u00adject, how\u00adev\u00ader, in which she often indulged<\/span> with her fair friend, from whom she received every pos\u00adsi\u00adble encour\u00adage\u00adment to con\u00adtin\u00adue to think of him; and his impres\u00adsion on her fan\u00adcy<\/span> was not suf\u00adfered there\u00adfore to weak\u00aden. Isabel\u00adla was very sure that he must be a charm\u00ading young man, and was equal\u00adly sure that he must have been delight\u00aded with her dear Cather\u00adine, and would there\u00adfore short\u00adly return. She liked him the bet\u00adter for being a cler\u00adgy\u00adman<\/span>, \u201cfor she must con\u00adfess<\/span> her\u00adself very par\u00adtial to<\/span> the pro\u00adfes\u00adsion\u201d; and some\u00adthing like a sigh escaped her as she said it. Per\u00adhaps Cather\u00adine was wrong in not demand\u00ading the cause of that gen\u00adtle emotion\u2014but she was not expe\u00adri\u00adenced enough in the finesse<\/span> of love, or the duties of friend\u00adship, to know when del\u00adi\u00adcate raillery<\/span> was prop\u00ader\u00adly called for, or when a con\u00adfi\u00addence should be forced.<\/p>\n

Mrs. Allen was now quite happy\u2014quite sat\u00adis\u00adfied with Bath. She had found some acquain\u00adtance, had been so lucky too as to find in them the fam\u00adi\u00adly of a most wor\u00adthy old friend; and, as the com\u00adple\u00adtion of good for\u00adtune, had found these friends by no means<\/span> so expen\u00adsive\u00adly dressed as her\u00adself. Her dai\u00adly expres\u00adsions were no longer, \u201cI wish we had some acquain\u00adtance in Bath!\u201d They were changed into, \u201cHow glad I am we have met with Mrs. Thor\u00adpe!\u201d and she was as eager in pro\u00admot\u00ading the inter\u00adcourse<\/span> of the two fam\u00adi\u00adlies, as her young charge<\/span> and Isabel\u00adla them\u00adselves could be; nev\u00ader sat\u00adis\u00adfied with the day unless she spent the chief of<\/span> it by the side of<\/span> Mrs. Thor\u00adpe, in what they called con\u00adver\u00adsa\u00adtion, but in which there was scarce\u00adly<\/span> ever any exchange of opin\u00adion, and not often any resem\u00adblance<\/span> of sub\u00adject, for Mrs. Thor\u00adpe talked chiefly of her chil\u00addren, and Mrs. Allen of her gowns<\/span>.<\/p>\n

The progress of the friend\u00adship between Cather\u00adine and Isabel\u00adla was quick as its begin\u00adning had been warm, and they passed so rapid\u00adly through every gra\u00adda\u00adtion<\/span> of increas\u00ading ten\u00adder\u00adness that there was short\u00adly no fresh proof of it to be giv\u00aden to their friends or them\u00adselves. They called each oth\u00ader by their Chris\u00adt\u00adian name<\/span>, were always arm in arm<\/span> when they walked, pinned up<\/span> each other\u2019s t<\/span>rain<\/span> for the dance, and were not to be divid\u00aded in the set<\/span>; and if a rainy morn\u00ading deprived<\/span> them of oth\u00ader enjoy\u00adments, they were still res\u00adolute in meet\u00ading in defi\u00adance<\/span> of wet and dirt, and shut them\u00adselves up, to read nov\u00adels togeth\u00ader. Yes, nov\u00adels; for<\/span> I will not adopt that ungen\u00ader\u00adous and impolitic<\/span> cus\u00adtom so com\u00admon with nov\u00adel-writ\u00aders, of degrad\u00ading<\/span> by their con\u00adtemp\u00adtu\u00adous<\/span> cen\u00adsure<\/span> the very per\u00adfor\u00admances, to the num\u00adber of which they are them\u00adselves adding\u2014joining with their great\u00adest ene\u00admies in bestow\u00ading<\/span> the harsh\u00adest epi\u00adthets<\/span> on such works, and scarce\u00adly<\/span> ever per\u00admit\u00adting them to be read by their own hero\u00adine, who, if she acci\u00adden\u00adtal\u00adly<\/span> take up a nov\u00adel, is sure to turn over its insipid<\/span> pages with dis\u00adgust<\/span>. Alas<\/span>! If the hero\u00adine of one nov\u00adel be not patron\u00adized by the hero\u00adine of anoth\u00ader, from whom can she expect pro\u00adtec\u00adtion and regard? I can\u00adnot approve of it. Let us leave it to the review\u00aders to abuse such effu\u00adsions<\/span> of fan\u00adcy<\/span> at their leisure<\/span>, and over every new nov\u00adel to talk in thread\u00adbare<\/span> strains of the trash with which the press now groans<\/span>. Let us not desert one anoth\u00ader; we are an injured body. Although our pro\u00adduc\u00adtions have afford\u00aded more exten\u00adsive and unaf\u00adfect\u00aded plea\u00adsure than those of any oth\u00ader lit\u00ader\u00adary cor\u00adpo\u00adra\u00adtion in the world, no species<\/span> of com\u00adpo\u00adsi\u00adtion has been so much decried<\/span>. From pride, igno\u00adrance, or fash\u00adion, our foes<\/span> are almost as many as our read\u00aders. And while the abil\u00adi\u00adties of the nine-hun\u00addredth abridger<\/span> of the His\u00adto\u00adry of Eng\u00adland, or of the man who col\u00adlects and pub\u00adlish\u00ades in a vol\u00adume some dozen<\/span> lines of Mil\u00adton<\/span>, Pope<\/span>, and Pri\u00ador<\/span>, with a paper from the Spec\u00adta\u00adtor<\/span>, and a chap\u00adter from Sterne<\/span>, are eulo\u00adgized<\/span> by a thou\u00adsand pens\u2014there seems almost a gen\u00ader\u00adal wish of decry\u00ading<\/span> the capac\u00adi\u00adty and under\u00advalu\u00ading the labour of the nov\u00adel\u00adist, and of slight\u00ading<\/span> the per\u00adfor\u00admances which have only genius, wit<\/span>, and taste to rec\u00adom\u00admend them. \u201cI am no novel-reader\u2014I sel\u00addom look into novels\u2014Do not imag\u00adine that I often read novels\u2014It is real\u00adly very well for a nov\u00adel.\u201d Such is the com\u00admon cant<\/span>. \u201cAnd what are you read\u00ading, Miss\u2014 ?\u201d \u201cOh! It is only a nov\u00adel!\u201d replies the young lady, while she lays down<\/span> her book with affect\u00aded indif\u00adfer\u00adence, or momen\u00adtary shame. \u201cIt is only Cecil\u00adia<\/span>, or Camil\u00adla<\/span>, or Belin\u00adda<\/span>\u201d; or, in short, only some work in which the great\u00adest pow\u00aders of the mind are dis\u00adplayed, in which the most thor\u00adough knowl\u00adedge of human nature, the hap\u00adpi\u00adest delin\u00adeation<\/span> of its vari\u00adeties, the liveli\u00adest effu\u00adsions<\/span> of wit<\/span> and humour, are con\u00adveyed to the world in the best-cho\u00adsen lan\u00adguage. Now, had the same young lady been engaged with a vol\u00adume of the Spec\u00adta\u00adtor<\/span>, instead of such a work, how proud\u00adly would she have pro\u00adduced<\/span> the book, and told its name; though the chances must be against her being occu\u00adpied by any part of that volu\u00admi\u00adnous<\/span> pub\u00adli\u00adca\u00adtion, of which either the mat\u00adter or man\u00adner would not dis\u00adgust<\/span> a young per\u00adson of taste: the sub\u00adstance of its papers so often con\u00adsist\u00ading in the state\u00adment of improb\u00ada\u00adble cir\u00adcum\u00adstances, unnat\u00adur\u00adal char\u00adac\u00adters, and top\u00adics of con\u00adver\u00adsa\u00adtion which no longer con\u00adcern any\u00adone liv\u00ading; and their lan\u00adguage, too, fre\u00adquent\u00adly so coarse<\/span> as to give no very favourable idea of the age that could endure it.<\/p>\n

The nov\u00adel, about the tri\u00adals and tribu\u00adla\u00adtions of a young upper class woman who must nego\u00adti\u00adate Lon\u00addon soci\u00adety for the first time and who falls in love with a social supe\u00adri\u00ador, belongs to the genre of the nov\u00adel of man\u00adners. A panoram\u00adic nov\u00adel of eigh\u00adteenth-cen\u00adtu\u00adry Lon\u00addon, Cecil\u00adia was high\u00adly suc\u00adcess\u00adful with at least 51 editions.<\/p>\n

80<\/a>\tCamil\u00adla<\/span> \u21d2 Sub\u00adti\u00adtled A Pic\u00adture of Youth<\/span>, is a nov\u00adel by Frances Bur\u00adney, first pub\u00adlished in 1796. Camil\u00adla deals with the mat\u00adri\u00admo\u00adni\u00adal con\u00adcerns of a group of young peo\u00adple. Camil\u00adla Tyrold and her sis\u00adters, the sweet tem\u00adpered Lavinia and the deformed, and extreme\u00adly kind, Euge\u00adnia, and their cousin, the beau\u00adti\u00adful Indi\u00adana Lynmere\u2014and in par\u00adtic\u00adu\u00adlar, with the love affair between Camil\u00adla her\u00adself and her eli\u00adgi\u00adble suit\u00ador, Edgar Man\u00addle\u00adbert. They have many hard\u00adships, how\u00adev\u00ader, caused by mis\u00adun\u00adder\u00adstand\u00adings and mis\u00adtakes, in the path of true love.<\/p>\n

An enor\u00admous\u00adly pop\u00adu\u00adlar eigh\u00adteenth-cen\u00adtu\u00adry nov\u00adel, Camil\u00adla is touched at many points by the advanc\u00ading spir\u00adit of roman\u00adti\u00adcism. As in Eveli\u00adna, Bur\u00adney weaves into her nov\u00adel shafts of light and dark, com\u00adic episodes and goth\u00adic shud\u00adders, and cre\u00adates many social, emo\u00adtion\u00adal, and men\u00adtal dilem\u00admas that illu\u00admi\u00adnate the gap between generations.<\/p>\n

The<\/span> fol\u00adlow\u00ading con\u00adver\u00adsa\u00adtion, which took place<\/span> between the two friends in the pump-room<\/span> one morn\u00ading, after an acquain\u00adtance of eight or nine days, is giv\u00aden as a spec\u00adi\u00admen<\/span> of their very warm attach\u00adment<\/span>, and of the del\u00adi\u00adca\u00adcy, dis\u00adcre\u00adtion<\/span>, orig\u00adi\u00adnal\u00adi\u00adty of thought, and lit\u00ader\u00adary taste which marked the rea\u00adson\u00adable\u00adness of that attach\u00adment<\/span>.<\/p>\n

They met by appoint\u00adment; and as Isabel\u00adla had arrived near\u00adly five min\u00adutes before her friend, her first address<\/span> nat\u00adu\u00adral\u00adly was, \u201cMy dear\u00adest crea\u00adture, what can have made you so late? I have been wait\u00ading for you at least<\/span> this age!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHave you, indeed! I am very sor\u00adry for it; but real\u00adly I thought I was in very good time<\/span>. It is but<\/span> just one. I hope you have not been here long?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOh! These ten ages at <\/span>least<\/span>. I am sure I have been here this half hour. But now, let us go and sit down at the oth\u00ader end of the room, and enjoy our\u00adselves. I have an hun\u00addred things to say to you. In the first place, I was so afraid it would rain this morn\u00ading, just as I want\u00aded to set off<\/span>; it looked very show\u00adery<\/span>, and that would have thrown me into ago\u00adnies<\/span>! Do you know, I saw the pret\u00adti\u00adest hat you can imag\u00adine, in a shop win\u00addow in Mil\u00adsom Street<\/span> just now\u2014very like yours, only with coqueli\u00adcot<\/span> rib\u00adbons instead of green; I quite longed for<\/span> it. But, my dear\u00adest Cather\u00adine, what have you been doing with your\u00adself all this morn\u00ading? Have you gone on<\/span> with Udolpho<\/span>?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, I have been read\u00ading it ever since<\/span> I woke; and I am got to<\/span> the black veil<\/span>.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAre you, indeed? How delight\u00adful! Oh! I would not tell you what is behind the black veil<\/span> for the world<\/span>! Are not you wild to know<\/span>?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOh! Yes, quite; what can it be? But do not tell me\u2014I would not be told upon any account<\/span>. I know it must be a skele\u00adton<\/span>, I am sure it is Laurentina\u2019s skele\u00adton<\/span>. Oh! I am delight\u00aded with the book! I should like to spend my whole life in read\u00ading it. I assure you, if it had not been to meet you, I would not have come away from it for all the world<\/span>.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDear crea\u00adture! How much I am oblig\u00aded to you; and when you have fin\u00adished Udolpho<\/span>, we will read the Ital\u00adian<\/span> togeth\u00ader; and I have made out a list of ten or twelve more of the same kind for you.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHave you, indeed! How glad I am! What are they all?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI will read you their names direct\u00adly; here they are, in my pock\u00adet\u00adbook. Cas\u00adtle of Wolfen\u00adbach<\/span>, Cler\u00admont<\/span>, Mys\u00adte\u00adri\u00adous Warn\u00adings<\/span>, Necro\u00admancer of the Black For\u00adest<\/span>, Mid\u00adnight Bell<\/span>, Orphan of the Rhine<\/span>, and Hor\u00adrid Mys\u00adter\u00adies<\/span>. Those will last<\/span> us some time.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, pret\u00adty well; but are they all hor\u00adrid<\/span>, are you sure they are all hor\u00adrid<\/span>?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, quite sure; for a par\u00adtic\u00adu\u00adlar friend of mine, a Miss Andrews, a sweet girl, one of the sweet\u00adest crea\u00adtures in the world, has read every one of them. I wish you knew Miss Andrews, you would be delight\u00aded with her. She is net\u00adting<\/span> her\u00adself the sweet\u00adest cloak<\/span> you can con\u00adceive<\/span>. I think her as beau\u00adti\u00adful as an angel, and I am so vexed<\/span> with the men for not admir\u00ading her! I scold<\/span> them all amaz\u00ading\u00adly about it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cScold<\/span> them! Do you scold<\/span> them for not admir\u00ading her?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, that I do. There is noth\u00ading I would not do for those who are real\u00adly my friends. I have no notion of<\/span> lov\u00ading peo\u00adple by halves<\/span>; it is not my nature. My attach\u00adments<\/span> are always exces\u00adsive\u00adly strong. I told Cap\u00adtain Hunt at one of our assem\u00adblies<\/span> this win\u00adter that if he was to tease<\/span> me all night, I would not dance with him, unless he would allow Miss Andrews to be as beau\u00adti\u00adful as an angel. The men think us inca\u00adpable of real friend\u00adship, you know, and I am deter\u00admined to show them the dif\u00adfer\u00adence. Now, if I were to hear any\u00adbody speak slight\u00ading\u00adly<\/span> of you, I should fire up<\/span> in a moment<\/span>: but that is not at all<\/span> like\u00adly, for you are just the kind of girl to be a great favourite with the men.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOh, dear!\u201d cried Cather\u00adine, colour\u00ading<\/span>. \u201cHow can you say so?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI know you very well; you have so much ani\u00adma\u00adtion<\/span>, which is exact\u00adly what Miss Andrews wants<\/span>, for<\/span> I must con\u00adfess<\/span> there is some\u00adthing amaz\u00ading\u00adly insipid<\/span> about her. Oh! I must tell you, that just after we part\u00aded yes\u00adter\u00adday, I saw a young man look\u00ading at you so earnest\u00adly<\/span>\u2014I am sure he is in love with you.\u201d Cather\u00adine coloured<\/span>, and dis\u00adclaimed again. Isabel\u00adla laughed. \u201cIt is very true, upon my hon\u00adour<\/span>, but I see how it is; you are indif\u00adfer\u00adent to everybody\u2019s admi\u00adra\u00adtion, except that of one gen\u00adtle\u00adman, who shall be name\u00adless. Nay<\/span>, I can\u00adnot blame<\/span> you\u201d\u2014speaking more seriously\u2014\u201cyour feel\u00adings are eas\u00adi\u00adly under\u00adstood. Where the heart is real\u00adly attached<\/span>, I know very well how lit\u00adtle one can be pleased with the atten\u00adtion of any\u00adbody else. Every\u00adthing is so insipid<\/span>, so unin\u00adter\u00adest\u00ading, that does not relate to the beloved object! I can per\u00adfect\u00adly com\u00adpre\u00adhend your feelings.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBut you should not per\u00adsuade me that I think so very much about Mr. Tilney, for per\u00adhaps I may nev\u00ader see him again.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNot see him again! My dear\u00adest crea\u00adture, do not talk of it. I am sure you would be mis\u00ader\u00adable if you thought so!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo, indeed, I should not. I do not pre\u00adtend to say that I was not very much pleased with him; but while I have Udolpho<\/span> to read, I feel as if nobody could make me mis\u00ader\u00adable. Oh! The dread\u00adful<\/span> black veil<\/span>! My dear Isabel\u00adla, I am sure there must be Laurentina\u2019s skele\u00adton<\/span> behind it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is so odd to me, that you should nev\u00ader have read Udolpho<\/span> before; but I sup\u00adpose Mrs. Mor\u00adland objects to nov\u00adels<\/span>.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo, she does not. She very often reads Sir Charles Gran\u00addi\u00adson<\/span> her\u00adself; but new books do not fall in our way<\/span>.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSir Charles Gran\u00addi\u00adson<\/span>! That is an amaz\u00ading hor\u00adrid<\/span> book, is it not? I remem\u00adber Miss Andrews could not get through<\/span> the first volume.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is not like Udolpho<\/span> at all<\/span>; but yet I think it is very enter\u00adtain\u00ading<\/span>.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDo you indeed! You sur\u00adprise me; I thought it had not been read\u00adable. But, my dear\u00adest Cather\u00adine, have you set\u00adtled what to wear on your head tonight? I am deter\u00admined at all events to be dressed exact\u00adly like you. The men take notice of that some\u00adtimes, you know.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBut it does not sig\u00adni\u00adfy<\/span> if they do,\u201d said Cather\u00adine, very innocently.<\/p>\n

\u201cSig\u00adni\u00adfy<\/span>! Oh, heav\u00adens! I make it a rule nev\u00ader to mind what they say. They are very often amaz\u00ading\u00adly imper\u00adti\u00adnent<\/span> if you do not treat them with spir\u00adit<\/span>, and make them keep their dis\u00adtance<\/span>.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAre they? Well, I nev\u00ader observed that. They always behave very well to me.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOh! They give them\u00adselves such airs<\/span>. They are the most con\u00adceit\u00aded<\/span> crea\u00adtures in the world, and think them\u00adselves of so much impor\u00adtance! By the by<\/span>, though I have thought of it a hun\u00addred times, I have always for\u00adgot to ask you what is your favourite com\u00adplex\u00adion<\/span> in a man. Do you like them best dark or fair?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI hard\u00adly know. I nev\u00ader much thought about it. Some\u00adthing between both, I think. Brown\u2014not fair, and\u2014and not very dark.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cVery well, Cather\u00adine. That is exact\u00adly he. I have not for\u00adgot your descrip\u00adtion of Mr. Tilney\u2014\u2018a brown skin, with dark eyes, and rather dark hair.\u2019 Well, my taste is dif\u00adfer\u00adent. I pre\u00adfer light<\/span> eyes, and as to com\u00adplex\u00adion<\/span>\u2014do you know\u2014I like a sal\u00adlow<\/span> bet\u00adter than any oth\u00ader. You must not betray<\/span> me, if you should ever meet with one of your acquain\u00adtance answer\u00ading that description.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBetray<\/span> you! What do you mean?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNay<\/span>, do not dis\u00adtress<\/span> me. I believe I have said too much. Let us drop the sub\u00adject<\/span>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cather\u00adine, in some amaze\u00adment, com\u00adplied<\/span>, and after remain\u00ading a few moments silent, was on the point of<\/span> revert\u00ading<\/span> to what inter\u00adest\u00aded her at that time rather more than any\u00adthing else in the world, Laurentina\u2019s skele\u00adton<\/span>, when her friend pre\u00advent\u00aded her, by say\u00ading, \u201cFor heaven\u2019s sake<\/span>! Let us move away from this end of the room. Do you know, there are two odi\u00adous<\/span> young men who have been star\u00ading at me this half hour. They real\u00adly put me quite out of coun\u00adte\u00adnance<\/span>. Let us go and look at the arrivals. They will hard\u00adly fol\u00adlow us there.\u201d<\/p>\n

Away they walked to the book; and while Isabel\u00adla exam\u00adined the names, it was Catherine\u2019s employ\u00adment to watch the pro\u00adceed\u00adings<\/span> of these alarm\u00ading young men.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey are not com\u00ading this way, are they? I hope they are not so imper\u00adti\u00adnent<\/span> as to fol\u00adlow us. Pray let me know if they are com\u00ading. I am deter\u00admined I will not look up<\/span>.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a few moments Cather\u00adine, with unaf\u00adfect\u00aded plea\u00adsure, assured her that she need not be longer uneasy<\/span>, as the gen\u00adtle\u00admen had just left the pump-room<\/span>.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd which way are they gone?\u201d said Isabel\u00adla, turn\u00ading hasti\u00adly round. \u201cOne was a very good-look\u00ading young man.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThey went towards the church-yard.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWell, I am amaz\u00ading\u00adly glad I have got rid of them<\/span>! And now, what say you to going to Edgar\u2019s Build\u00adings<\/span> with me, and look\u00ading at my new hat? You said you should like to see it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cather\u00adine read\u00adi\u00adly agreed. \u201cOnly,\u201d she added, \u201cper\u00adhaps we may over\u00adtake<\/span> the two young men.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOh! mind that. If we make haste, we shall pass by<\/span> them present\u00adly, and I am dying<\/span> to show you my hat.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBut if we only wait a few min\u00adutes, there will be no dan\u00adger of our see\u00ading them at all<\/span>.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI shall not pay them any such com\u00adpli\u00adment<\/span>, I assure you. I have no notion of<\/span> treat\u00ading men with such respect. That is the way to spoil<\/span> them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cather\u00adine had noth\u00ading to oppose against such rea\u00adson\u00ading; and there\u00adfore, to show the inde\u00adpen\u00addence of Miss Thor\u00adpe, and her res\u00ado\u00adlu\u00adtion<\/span> of hum\u00adbling<\/span> the sex, they set off<\/span> imme\u00addi\u00adate\u00adly as fast as they could walk, in pur\u00adsuit of<\/span> the two young men.<\/p>\n

Half<\/span> a minute con\u00adduct\u00aded them through the pump-yard to the arch\u00adway<\/span>, oppo\u00adsite Union Pas\u00adsage<\/span>; but here they were stopped. Every\u00adbody acquaint\u00aded with Bath may remem\u00adber the dif\u00adfi\u00adcul\u00adties of cross\u00ading Cheap Street<\/span> at this point; it is indeed a street of so imper\u00adti\u00adnent<\/span> a nature, so unfor\u00adtu\u00adnate\u00adly con\u00adnect\u00aded with the great Lon\u00addon and Oxford roads, and the prin\u00adci\u00adpal inn of the city, that a day nev\u00ader pass\u00ades in which par\u00adties of ladies, how\u00adev\u00ader impor\u00adtant their busi\u00adness, whether in quest<\/span> of pas\u00adtry<\/span>, millinery<\/span>, or even (as in the present case) of young men, are not detained<\/span> on one side or oth\u00ader by car\u00adriages<\/span>, horse\u00admen, or carts<\/span>. This evil had been felt and lament\u00aded<\/span>, at least<\/span> three times a day, by Isabel\u00adla since her res\u00adi\u00addence in Bath; and she was now fat\u00aded<\/span> to feel and lament<\/span> it once more, for<\/span> at the very moment of com\u00ading oppo\u00adsite to Union Pas\u00adsage<\/span>, and with\u00adin view of the two gen\u00adtle\u00admen who were pro\u00adceed\u00ading through the crowds, and thread\u00ading<\/span> the gut\u00adters<\/span> of that inter\u00adest\u00ading alley, they were pre\u00advent\u00aded cross\u00ading by the approach of a gig<\/span>, dri\u00adven along on bad pave\u00adment<\/span> by a most know\u00ading-look\u00ading coach\u00adman<\/span> with all the vehe\u00admence<\/span> that could most fit\u00adly<\/span> endan\u00adger the lives of him\u00adself, his com\u00adpan\u00adion, and his horse.<\/p>\n

\u201cOh, these odi\u00adous<\/span> gigs<\/span>!\u201d said Isabel\u00adla, look\u00ading up. \u201cHow I detest<\/span> them.\u201d But this detes\u00adta\u00adtion<\/span>, though so just<\/span>, was of short dura\u00adtion, for<\/span> she looked again and exclaimed<\/span>, \u201cDelight\u00adful! Mr. Mor\u00adland and my brother!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cGood heav\u00aden! \u2018Tis<\/span> James!\u201d was uttered<\/span> at the same moment by Cather\u00adine; and, on catch\u00ading the young men\u2019s eyes<\/span>, the horse was imme\u00addi\u00adate\u00adly checked<\/span> with a vio\u00adlence which almost threw him on his haunch\u00ades<\/span>, and the ser\u00advant hav\u00ading now scam\u00adpered<\/span> up, the gen\u00adtle\u00admen jumped out, and the equipage<\/span> was deliv\u00adered to his care.<\/p>\n

Cather\u00adine, by whom this meet\u00ading was whol\u00adly unex\u00adpect\u00aded, received her broth\u00ader with the liveli\u00adest plea\u00adsure; and he, being of a very ami\u00adable<\/span> dis\u00adpo\u00adsi\u00adtion, and sin\u00adcere\u00adly<\/span> attached<\/span> to her, gave every proof on his side of equal sat\u00adis\u00adfac\u00adtion, which he could have leisure<\/span> to do, while the bright eyes of Miss Thor\u00adpe were inces\u00adsant\u00adly<\/span> chal\u00adleng\u00ading<\/span> his notice; and to her his devoirs<\/span> were speed\u00adi\u00adly paid, with a mix\u00adture of joy and embar\u00adrass\u00adment<\/span> which might have informed Cather\u00adine, had she been more expert in the devel\u00adop\u00adment of oth\u00ader people\u2019s feel\u00adings, and less sim\u00adply engrossed<\/span> by her own, that her broth\u00ader thought her friend quite as pret\u00adty as she could do herself.<\/p>\n

John Thor\u00adpe, who in the mean\u00adtime had been giv\u00ading orders about the hors\u00ades, soon joined them, and from him she direct\u00adly received the amends<\/span> which were her due; for<\/span> while he slight\u00adly and care\u00adless\u00adly touched the hand of Isabel\u00adla, on her he bestowed<\/span> a whole scrape<\/span> and half a short bow. He was a stout<\/span> young man of mid\u00addling height, who, with a plain face and ungrace\u00adful form, seemed fear\u00adful of being too hand\u00adsome unless he wore the dress of a groom<\/span>, and too much like a gen\u00adtle\u00adman unless he were easy<\/span> where he ought to be civ\u00adil<\/span>, and impu\u00addent<\/span> where he might be allowed to be easy<\/span>. He took out his watch: \u201cHow long do you think we have been run\u00adning it from Tet\u00adbury<\/span>, Miss Morland?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI do not know the dis\u00adtance.\u201d Her broth\u00ader told her that it was twen\u00adty-three miles.<\/p>\n

\u201cThree and twen\u00adty!\u201d cried Thor\u00adpe. \u201cFive and twen\u00adty if it is an inch.\u201d Mor\u00adland remon\u00adstrat\u00aded<\/span>, plead\u00aded the author\u00adi\u00adty of road-books, innkeep\u00aders, and mile\u00adstones<\/span>; but his friend dis\u00adre\u00adgard\u00aded<\/span> them all; he had a sur\u00ader test of dis\u00adtance. \u201cI know it must be five and twen\u00adty,\u201d said he, \u201cby the time we have been doing<\/span> it. It is now half after one; we drove out of the inn-yard at Tet\u00adbury<\/span> as the town clock struck eleven; and I defy<\/span> any man in Eng\u00adland to make my horse go less than ten miles an hour in har\u00adness<\/span>; that makes it exact\u00adly twenty-five.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou have lost an hour,\u201d said Mor\u00adland; \u201cit was only ten o\u2019clock when we came from Tet\u00adbury<\/span>.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cTen o\u2019clock! It was eleven, upon my soul<\/span>! I count\u00aded every stroke<\/span>. This broth\u00ader of yours would per\u00adsuade me out of my sens\u00ades<\/span>, Miss Mor\u00adland; do but look at<\/span> my horse; did you ever see an ani\u00admal so made for speed in your life?\u201d (The ser\u00advant had just mount\u00aded<\/span> the car\u00adriage<\/span> and was dri\u00adving off.) \u201cSuch true blood! Three hours and and a half indeed com\u00ading only three and twen\u00adty miles! Look at that crea\u00adture, and sup\u00adpose it pos\u00adsi\u00adble if you can.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHe does look very hot, to be sure.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHot! He had not turned a hair<\/span> till we came to Wal\u00adcot<\/span> Church; but look at his fore\u00adhand<\/span>; look at his loins<\/span>; only see how he moves; that horse can\u00adnot go less than ten miles an hour: tie his legs and he will get on<\/span>. What do you think of my gig<\/span>, Miss Mor\u00adland? A neat one, is not it? Well hung<\/span>; town-built; I have not had it a month. It was built for a Christchurch<\/span> man, a friend of mine, a very good sort of fel\u00adlow; he ran it a few weeks, till, I believe, it was con\u00adve\u00adnient to have done with it<\/span>. I hap\u00adpened just then to be look\u00ading out for some light thing of the kind<\/span>, though I had pret\u00adty well deter\u00admined on a cur\u00adri\u00adcle<\/span> too; but I chanced to meet him on Mag\u00addalen Bridge<\/span>, as he was dri\u00adving into Oxford, last term<\/span>: \u2018Ah! Thor\u00adpe,\u2019 said he, \u2018do you hap\u00adpen to want<\/span> such a lit\u00adtle thing as this? It is a cap\u00adi\u00adtal<\/span> one of the kind<\/span>, but I am cursed tired of it<\/span>.\u2019 \u2018Oh! D\u2014<\/span> \u201a\u2019 said I; \u2018I am your man; what do you ask?\u2019 And how much do you think he did, Miss Morland?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI am sure I can\u00adnot guess at all<\/span>.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cCur\u00adri\u00adcle<\/span>-hung, you see; seat, trunk<\/span>, sword-case, splash\u00ading-board<\/span>, lamps, sil\u00adver mould\u00ading<\/span>, all you see com\u00adplete; the iron-work as good as new, or bet\u00adter. He asked fifty guineas<\/span>; I closed with<\/span> him direct\u00adly, threw down the mon\u00adey, and the car\u00adriage<\/span> was mine.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd I am sure,\u201d said Cather\u00adine, \u201cI know so lit\u00adtle of such things that I can\u00adnot judge whether it was cheap or dear.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNei\u00adther one nor t\u2019other<\/span>; I might have got it for less, I dare say; but I hate hag\u00adgling<\/span>, and poor Free\u00adman want\u00aded cash.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThat was very good-natured<\/span> of you,\u201d said Cather\u00adine, quite pleased.<\/p>\n

\u201cOh! D\u2014 it<\/span>, when one has the means of doing a kind thing by a friend, I hate to be piti\u00adful<\/span>.\u201d<\/p>\n

An inquiry now took place<\/span> into the intend\u00aded move\u00adments of the young ladies; and, on find\u00ading whith\u00ader<\/span> they were going, it was decid\u00aded that the gen\u00adtle\u00admen should accom\u00adpa\u00adny them to Edgar\u2019s Build\u00adings<\/span>, and pay their respects to Mrs. Thor\u00adpe<\/span>. James and Isabel\u00adla led the way<\/span>; and so well sat\u00adis\u00adfied was the lat\u00adter with her lot<\/span>, so con\u00adtent\u00aded\u00adly was she endeav\u00adour\u00ading<\/span> to ensure a pleas\u00adant walk to him who brought the dou\u00adble rec\u00adom\u00admen\u00adda\u00adtion of being her brother\u2019s friend, and her friend\u2019s broth\u00ader, so pure and unco\u00adquet\u00adtish<\/span> were her feel\u00adings, that, though they over\u00adtook<\/span> and passed the two offend\u00ading young men in Mil\u00adsom Street<\/span>, she was so far from seek\u00ading to attract their notice, that she looked back at them only three times.<\/p>\n

John Thor\u00adpe kept of course with<\/span> Cather\u00adine, and, after a few min\u00adutes\u2019 silence, renewed the con\u00adver\u00adsa\u00adtion about his gig<\/span>. \u201cYou will find, how\u00adev\u00ader, Miss Mor\u00adland, it would be reck\u00adoned<\/span> a cheap thing by some peo\u00adple, for<\/span> I might have sold it for ten guineas<\/span> more the next day; Jack\u00adson, of Oriel<\/span>, bid<\/span> me six\u00adty at once; Mor\u00adland was with me at the time.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYes,\u201d said Mor\u00adland, who over\u00adheard<\/span> this; \u201cbut you for\u00adget that your horse was included.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMy horse! Oh, d\u2014it<\/span>! I would not sell my horse for a hun\u00addred. Are you fond of<\/span> an open car\u00adriage<\/span>, Miss Morland?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, very; I have hard\u00adly ever an oppor\u00adtu\u00adni\u00adty of being in one; but I am par\u00adtic\u00adu\u00adlar\u00adly fond of<\/span> it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI am glad of it; I will dri\u00adve you out in mine every day.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThank you,\u201d said Cather\u00adine, in some dis\u00adtress<\/span>, from a doubt of the pro\u00adpri\u00adety<\/span> of accept\u00ading such an offer.<\/p>\n

\u201cI will dri\u00adve you up Lans\u00addown Hill<\/span> tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThank you; but will not your horse want rest?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cRest! He has only come three and twen\u00adty miles today; all non\u00adsense; noth\u00ading ruins hors\u00ades so much as rest; noth\u00ading knocks them up<\/span> so soon. No, no; I shall exer\u00adcise mine at the aver\u00adage of four hours every day while I am here.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cShall you indeed!\u201d said Cather\u00adine very seri\u00adous\u00adly. \u201cThat will be forty miles a day.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cForty! Aye<\/span>, fifty, for what I care<\/span>. Well, I will dri\u00adve you up Lans\u00addown<\/span> tomor\u00adrow; mind, I am engaged.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHow delight\u00adful that will be!\u201d cried Isabel\u00adla, turn\u00ading round. \u201cMy dear\u00adest Cather\u00adine, I quite envy<\/span> you; but I am afraid, broth\u00ader, you will not have room<\/span> for a third.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cA third indeed! No, no; I did not come to Bath to dri\u00adve my sis\u00adters about; that would be a good joke, faith<\/span>! Mor\u00adland must take care of you.\u201d<\/p>\n

This brought on a dia\u00adlogue of civil\u00adi\u00adties<\/span> between the oth\u00ader two; but Cather\u00adine heard nei\u00adther the par\u00adtic\u00adu\u00adlars nor the result. Her companion\u2019s dis\u00adcourse<\/span> now sunk<\/span> from its hith\u00ader\u00adto<\/span> ani\u00admat\u00aded pitch<\/span> to noth\u00ading more than a short deci\u00adsive<\/span> sen\u00adtence of praise or con\u00addem\u00adna\u00adtion<\/span> on the face of every woman they met; and Cather\u00adine, after lis\u00adten\u00ading and agree\u00ading as long as<\/span> she could, with all the civil\u00adi\u00adty<\/span> and def\u00ader\u00adence<\/span> of the youth\u00adful female mind, fear\u00adful of haz\u00adard\u00ading<\/span> an opin\u00adion of its own<\/span> in oppo\u00adsi\u00adtion to that of a self-assured man, espe\u00adcial\u00adly where the beau\u00adty of her own sex is con\u00adcerned, ven\u00adtured<\/span> at length<\/span> to vary<\/span> the sub\u00adject by a ques\u00adtion which had been long upper\u00admost<\/span> in her thoughts; it was, \u201cHave you ever read Udolpho<\/span>, Mr. Thorpe?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cUdolpho<\/span>! Oh, Lord<\/span>! Not I; I nev\u00ader read nov\u00adels; I have some\u00adthing else to do.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cather\u00adine, hum\u00adbled<\/span> and ashamed<\/span>, was going to apol\u00ado\u00adgize for her ques\u00adtion, but he pre\u00advent\u00aded her by say\u00ading, \u201cNov\u00adels are all so full of non\u00adsense and stuff; there has not been a tol\u00ader\u00ada\u00adbly<\/span> decent one come out since Tom Jones<\/span>, except The Monk<\/span>; I read that t\u2019other<\/span> day; but as for<\/span> all the oth\u00aders, they are the stu\u00adpid\u00adest things in creation.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI think you must like Udolpho<\/span>, if you were to read it; it is so very interesting.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNot I, faith<\/span>! No, if I read any, it shall be Mrs. Radcliffe\u2019s<\/span>; her nov\u00adels are amus\u00ading enough; they are worth read\u00ading; some fun and nature in them.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cUdolpho<\/span> was writ\u00adten by Mrs. Rad\u00adcliffe<\/span>,\u201d said Cather\u00adine, with some hes\u00adi\u00adta\u00adtion, from the fear of mor\u00adti\u00adfy\u00ading<\/span> him.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo sure; was it? Aye<\/span>, I remem\u00adber, so it was; I was think\u00ading of that oth\u00ader stu\u00adpid book, writ\u00adten by that woman they make such a fuss about<\/span>, she who mar\u00adried the French emigrant.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI sup\u00adpose you mean Camil\u00adla<\/span>?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, that\u2019s the book; such unnat\u00adur\u00adal stuff! An old man play\u00ading at see-saw<\/span>, I \ttook up the first vol\u00adume once and looked it over<\/span>, but I soon found it would not do<\/span>; indeed I guessed what sort of stuff it must be before I saw it: as soon as<\/span> I heard she had mar\u00adried an emi\u00adgrant, I was sure I should nev\u00ader be able to get through<\/span> it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI have nev\u00ader read it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou had no<\/span> loss<\/span>, I assure you; it is the hor\u00adridest<\/span> non\u00adsense you can imag\u00adine; there is noth\u00ading in the world in it but an old man\u2019s play\u00ading at see-saw<\/span> and learn\u00ading Latin; upon my soul<\/span> there is not.\u201d<\/p>\n

This cri\u00adtique<\/span>, the just\u00adness of which was unfor\u00adtu\u00adnate\u00adly lost on poor Cather\u00adine, brought them to the door of Mrs. Thorpe\u2019s lodg\u00adings<\/span>, and the feel\u00adings of the dis\u00adcern\u00ading<\/span> and unprej\u00adu\u00addiced<\/span> read\u00ader of Camil\u00adla<\/span> gave way<\/span> to the feel\u00adings of the duti\u00adful<\/span> and affec\u00adtion\u00adate<\/span> son, as they met Mrs. Thor\u00adpe, who had descried<\/span> them from above, in the pas\u00adsage. \u201cAh, Moth\u00ader! How do you do?\u201d said he, giv\u00ading her a hearty<\/span> shake of the hand. \u201cWhere did you get that quiz<\/span> of a hat? It makes you look like an old witch<\/span>. Here is Mor\u00adland and I come to stay a few days with you, so you must look out for<\/span> a cou\u00adple of good beds some\u00adwhere near.\u201d And this address<\/span> seemed to sat\u00adis\u00adfy all the fond\u00adest<\/span> wish\u00ades of the mother\u2019s heart, for she received him with the most delight\u00aded and exult\u00ading<\/span> affec\u00adtion. On his two younger sis\u00adters he then bestowed<\/span> an equal por\u00adtion of his fra\u00adter\u00adnal<\/span> ten\u00adder\u00adness, for<\/span> he asked each of them how they did, and observed that they both looked very ugly.<\/p>\n

These man\u00adners did not please Cather\u00adine; but he was James\u2019s friend and Isabella\u2019s broth\u00ader; and her judg\u00adment was fur\u00adther bought off<\/span> by Isabella\u2019s assur\u00ading her, when they with\u00addrew to see the new hat, that John thought her the most charm\u00ading girl in the world, and by John\u2019s engag\u00ading her before they part\u00aded to dance with him that evening. Had she been old\u00ader or vain\u00ader<\/span>, such attacks might have done lit\u00adtle; but, where youth and dif\u00adfi\u00addence<\/span> are unit\u00aded, it requires uncom\u00admon steadi\u00adness of rea\u00adson to resist the attrac\u00adtion of being called the most charm\u00ading girl in the world, and of being so very ear\u00adly engaged as a part\u00adner; and the con\u00adse\u00adquence was that, when the two Mor\u00adlands, after sit\u00adting an hour with the Thor\u00adpes, set off<\/span> to walk togeth\u00ader to Mr. Allen\u2019s, and James, as the door was closed on them, said, \u201cWell, Cather\u00adine, how do you like my friend Thor\u00adpe?\u201d instead of answer\u00ading, as she prob\u00ada\u00adbly would have done, had there been no friend\u00adship and no flat\u00adtery<\/span> in the case, \u201cI do not like him at all<\/span>,\u201d she direct\u00adly replied, \u201cI like him very much; he seems very agreeable.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHe is as good-natured<\/span> a fel\u00adlow as ever lived; a lit\u00adtle of a rat\u00adtle<\/span>; but that will rec\u00adom\u00admend him to your sex, I believe: and how do you like the rest of the family?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cVery, very much indeed: Isabel\u00adla particularly.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI am very glad to hear you say so; she is just the kind of young woman I could wish to see you attached<\/span> to; she has so much good sense, and is so thor\u00adough\u00adly unaf\u00adfect\u00aded and ami\u00adable<\/span>; I always want\u00aded you to know her; and she seems very fond of<\/span> you. She said the high\u00adest<\/span> things in your praise that could pos\u00adsi\u00adbly be; and the praise of such a girl as Miss Thor\u00adpe even you, Cather\u00adine,\u201d tak\u00ading her hand with affec\u00adtion, \u201cmay be proud of.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIndeed I am,\u201d she replied; \u201cI love her exceed\u00ading\u00adly, and am delight\u00aded to find that you like her too. You hard\u00adly men\u00adtioned any\u00adthing of her when you wrote to me after your vis\u00adit there.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause I thought I should soon see you myself. I hope you will be a great deal<\/span> togeth\u00ader while you are in Bath. She is a most ami\u00adable<\/span> girl; such a supe\u00adri\u00ador under\u00adstand\u00ading! How fond all the fam\u00adi\u00adly are of<\/span> her; she is evi\u00addent\u00adly the gen\u00ader\u00adal favourite; and how much she must be admired in such a place as this\u2014is not she?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, very much indeed, I fan\u00adcy; Mr. Allen thinks her the pret\u00adti\u00adest girl in Bath.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI dare say he does; and I do not know any man who is a bet\u00adter judge of beau\u00adty than Mr. Allen. I need not ask you whether you are hap\u00adpy here, my dear Cather\u00adine; with such a com\u00adpan\u00adion and friend as Isabel\u00adla Thor\u00adpe, it would be impos\u00adsi\u00adble for you to be oth\u00ader\u00adwise; and the Allens, I am sure, are very kind to you?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, very kind; I nev\u00ader was so hap\u00adpy before; and now you are come it will be more delight\u00adful than ever; how good it is of you to come so far on pur\u00adpose<\/span> to see me.\u201d<\/p>\n

James accept\u00aded this trib\u00adute<\/span> of grat\u00adi\u00adtude, and qual\u00adi\u00adfied his con\u00adscience for accept\u00ading it too, by say\u00ading with per\u00adfect sin\u00adcer\u00adi\u00adty<\/span>, \u201cIndeed, Cather\u00adine, I love you dearly.\u201d<\/p>\n

A pre-engage\u00adment in Edgar\u2019s Build\u00adings<\/span> pre\u00advent\u00aded his accept\u00ading the invi\u00adta\u00adtion of one friend, and oblig\u00aded him to hur\u00adry away<\/span> as <\/span>soon as<\/span> he had sat\u00adis\u00adfied the demands of the oth\u00ader. The time of the two par\u00adties unit\u00ading in the Octa\u00adgon Room<\/span> being cor\u00adrect\u00adly adjust\u00aded, Cather\u00adine was then left to the lux\u00adu\u00adry of a raised, rest\u00adless<\/span>, and fright\u00adened imag\u00adi\u00adna\u00adtion over the pages of Udolpho<\/span>, lost from all world\u00adly<\/span> con\u00adcerns of dress\u00ading and din\u00adner, inca\u00adpable of sooth\u00ading<\/span> Mrs. Allen\u2019s fears on the delay of an expect\u00aded dress\u00admak\u00ader, and hav\u00ading only one minute in six\u00adty to bestow<\/span> even on the reflec\u00adtion of her own felic\u00adi\u00adty<\/span>, in being already engaged for the evening.<\/p>\n

In spite of<\/span> Udolpho<\/span> and the dress\u00admak\u00ader, how\u00adev\u00ader, the par\u00adty from Pul\u00adteney Street<\/span> reached the Upper Rooms<\/span> in very good time<\/span>. The Thor\u00adpes and James Mor\u00adland were there only two min\u00adutes before them; and Isabel\u00adla hav\u00ading gone through the usu\u00adal cer\u00ade\u00admo\u00adni\u00adal of meet\u00ading her friend with the most smil\u00ading and affec\u00adtion\u00adate<\/span> haste, of admir\u00ading the set of her gown<\/span>, and envy\u00ading<\/span> the curl<\/span> of her hair, they fol\u00adlowed their chap\u00ader\u00adones<\/span>, arm in arm<\/span>, into the ball\u00adroom<\/span>, whis\u00adper\u00ading to each oth\u00ader when\u00adev\u00ader a thought occurred, and sup\u00adply\u00ading the place of many ideas by a squeeze of the hand or a smile of affection.<\/p>\n

The danc\u00ading began with\u00adin a few min\u00adutes after they were seat\u00aded; and James, who had been engaged quite as long as his sis\u00adter, was very impor\u00adtu\u00adnate<\/span> with Isabel\u00adla to stand up; but John was gone into the card-room to speak to a friend, and noth\u00ading, she declared, should induce her to join the set<\/span> before her dear Cather\u00adine could join it too. \u201cI assure you,\u201d said she, \u201cI would not stand up<\/span> with\u00adout your dear sis\u00adter for all the world<\/span>; for<\/span> if I did we should cer\u00adtain\u00adly be sep\u00ada\u00adrat\u00aded the whole evening.\u201d Cather\u00adine accept\u00aded this kind\u00adness with grat\u00adi\u00adtude, and they con\u00adtin\u00adued as they were for three min\u00adutes longer, when Isabel\u00adla, who had been talk\u00ading to James on the oth\u00ader side of her, turned again to his sis\u00adter and whis\u00adpered, \u201cMy dear crea\u00adture, I am afraid I must leave you, your broth\u00ader is so amaz\u00ading\u00adly impa\u00adtient to begin; I know you will not mind<\/span> my going away, and I dare say John will be back in a moment<\/span>, and then you may eas\u00adi\u00adly find me out.\u201d Cather\u00adine, though a lit\u00adtle dis\u00adap\u00adpoint\u00aded, had too much good nature to make any oppo\u00adsi\u00adtion, and the oth\u00aders ris\u00ading up<\/span>, Isabel\u00adla had only time to press her friend\u2019s hand and say, \u201cGood-bye, my dear love,\u201d before they hur\u00adried off<\/span>. The younger Miss Thor\u00adpes being also danc\u00ading, Cather\u00adine was left to the mer\u00adcy of<\/span> Mrs. Thor\u00adpe and Mrs. Allen, between whom she now remained. She could not help being vexed<\/span> at the non-appear\u00adance of Mr. Thor\u00adpe, for she not only longed<\/span> to be danc\u00ading, but was like\u00adwise aware that, as the real dig\u00adni\u00adty of her sit\u00adu\u00ada\u00adtion could not be known, she was shar\u00ading with the scores of oth\u00ader young ladies<\/span> still sit\u00adting down all the dis\u00adcred\u00adit of want\u00adi\u00adng a part\u00adner. To be dis\u00adgraced<\/span> in the eye of the world, to wear the appear\u00adance of<\/span> infamy<\/span> while her heart is all puri\u00adty<\/span>, her actions all inno\u00adcence, and the mis\u00adcon\u00adduct<\/span> of anoth\u00ader the true source of her debase\u00adment<\/span>, is one of those cir\u00adcum\u00adstances which pecu\u00adliar\u00adly<\/span> belong to the heroine\u2019s life, and her for\u00adti\u00adtude<\/span> under it what par\u00adtic\u00adu\u00adlar\u00adly dig\u00adni\u00adfies<\/span> her char\u00adac\u00adter. Cather\u00adine had for\u00adti\u00adtude<\/span> too; she suf\u00adfered, but no mur\u00admur<\/span> passed her lips.<\/p>\n

From this state of humil\u00adi\u00ada\u00adtion<\/span>, she was roused<\/span>, at the end of ten min\u00adutes, to a pleas\u00adan\u00adter feel\u00ading, by see\u00ading, not Mr. Thor\u00adpe, but Mr. Tilney, with\u00adin three yards of the place where they sat; he seemed to be mov\u00ading that way<\/span>, but he did not see her, and there\u00adfore the smile and the blush<\/span>, which his sud\u00adden reap\u00adpear\u00adance<\/span> raised in Cather\u00adine, passed away<\/span> with\u00adout sul\u00adly\u00ading<\/span> her hero\u00adic impor\u00adtance. He looked as hand\u00adsome and as live\u00adly as ever, and was talk\u00ading with inter\u00adest to a fash\u00adion\u00adable and pleas\u00ading-look\u00ading young woman, who leant on his arm, and whom Cather\u00adine imme\u00addi\u00adate\u00adly guessed to be his sis\u00adter; thus unthink\u00ading\u00adly throw\u00ading away<\/span> a fair oppor\u00adtu\u00adni\u00adty of con\u00adsid\u00ader\u00ading him lost to her for\u00adev\u00ader, by being mar\u00adried already. But guid\u00aded only by what was sim\u00adple and prob\u00ada\u00adble, it had nev\u00ader entered her head<\/span> that Mr. Tilney could be mar\u00adried; he had not behaved, he had not talked, like the mar\u00adried men to whom she had been used; he had nev\u00ader men\u00adtioned a wife, and he had acknowl\u00adedged a sis\u00adter. From these cir\u00adcum\u00adstances sprang<\/span> the instant con\u00adclu\u00adsion of his sister\u2019s now being by his side; and there\u00adfore, instead of turn\u00ading of a death\u00adlike pale\u00adness<\/span> and falling in a fit<\/span> on Mrs. Allen\u2019s bosom<\/span>, Cather\u00adine sat erect<\/span>, in the per\u00adfect use of her sens\u00ades<\/span>, and with cheeks only a lit\u00adtle red\u00adder than usual.<\/p>\n

Mr. Tilney and his com\u00adpan\u00adion, who con\u00adtin\u00adued, though slow\u00adly, to approach, were imme\u00addi\u00adate\u00adly pre\u00adced\u00aded by a lady, an acquain\u00adtance of Mrs. Thor\u00adpe; and this lady stop\u00adping to speak to her, they, as belong\u00ading to her, stopped like\u00adwise, and Cather\u00adine, catch\u00ading Mr. Tilney\u2019s eye<\/span>, instant\u00adly received from him the smil\u00ading trib\u00adute<\/span> of recog\u00adni\u00adtion. She returned it with plea\u00adsure, and then advanc\u00ading still near\u00ader, he spoke both to her and Mrs. Allen, by whom he was very civil\u00adly<\/span> acknowl\u00adedged. \u201cI am very hap\u00adpy to see you again, sir, indeed; I was afraid you had left Bath.\u201d He thanked her for her fears, and said that he had quit\u00adted<\/span> it for a week, on the very morn\u00ading after his hav\u00ading had the plea\u00adsure of see\u00ading her.<\/p>\n

\u201cWell, sir, and I dare say you are not sor\u00adry to be back again, for it is just the place for young people\u2014and indeed for every\u00adbody else too. I tell Mr. Allen, when he talks of being sick of it, that I am sure he should not com\u00adplain, for it is so very agree\u00adable a place, that it is much bet\u00adter to be here than at home at this dull<\/span> time of year. I tell him he is quite in luck<\/span> to be sent here for his health.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd I hope, madam, that Mr. Allen will be oblig\u00aded to like the place, from find\u00ading it of ser\u00advice<\/span> to him.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThank you, sir. I have no doubt that he will. A neigh\u00adbour of ours, Dr. Skin\u00adner, was here for his health last win\u00adter, and came away quite stout<\/span>.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThat cir\u00adcum\u00adstance must give great encouragement.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, sir\u2014and Dr. Skin\u00adner and his fam\u00adi\u00adly were here three months; so I tell Mr. Allen he must not be in a hur\u00adry to get away<\/span>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Here they were inter\u00adrupt\u00aded by a request from Mrs. Thor\u00adpe to Mrs. Allen, that she would move a lit\u00adtle to accom\u00admo\u00addate Mrs. Hugh\u00ades and Miss Tilney with seats, as they had agreed to join their par\u00adty. This was accord\u00ading\u00adly done, Mr. Tilney still con\u00adtin\u00adu\u00ading stand\u00ading before them; and after a few min\u00adutes\u2019 con\u00adsid\u00ader\u00ada\u00adtion, he asked Cather\u00adine to dance with him. This com\u00adpli\u00adment, delight\u00adful as it was, pro\u00adduced severe mor\u00adti\u00adfi\u00adca\u00adtion<\/span> to the lady; and in giv\u00ading her denial, she expressed her sor\u00adrow on the occa\u00adsion so very much as if she real\u00adly felt it that had Thor\u00adpe, who joined her just after\u00adwards, been half a minute ear\u00adli\u00ader, he might have thought her suf\u00adfer\u00adings rather too acute. The very easy man\u00adner in which he then told her that he had kept her wait\u00ading did not by any means rec\u00adon\u00adcile<\/span> her more to her lot<\/span>; nor did the par\u00adtic\u00adu\u00adlars which he entered into<\/span> while they were stand\u00ading up, of the hors\u00ades and dogs of the friend whom he had just left, and of a pro\u00adposed exchange of ter\u00adri\u00aders<\/span> between them, inter\u00adest her so much as to pre\u00advent her look\u00ading very often towards that part of the room where she had left Mr. Tilney. Of her dear Isabel\u00adla, to whom she par\u00adtic\u00adu\u00adlar\u00adly longed<\/span> to point out<\/span> that gen\u00adtle\u00adman, she could see noth\u00ading. They were in dif\u00adfer\u00adent sets<\/span>. She was sep\u00ada\u00adrat\u00aded from all her par\u00adty, and away from all her acquain\u00adtance; one mor\u00adti\u00adfi\u00adca\u00adtion<\/span> suc\u00adceed\u00aded anoth\u00ader, and from the whole she deduced<\/span> this use\u00adful les\u00adson, that to go pre\u00advi\u00adous\u00adly engaged to a ball<\/span> does not nec\u00ades\u00adsar\u00adi\u00adly increase either the dig\u00adni\u00adty or enjoy\u00adment of a young lady. From such a mor\u00adal\u00adiz\u00ading strain as this, she was sud\u00adden\u00adly roused<\/span> by a touch on the shoul\u00adder, and turn\u00ading round, per\u00adceived<\/span> Mrs. Hugh\u00ades direct\u00adly behind her, attend\u00aded by Miss Tilney and a gen\u00adtle\u00adman. \u201cI beg your par\u00addon<\/span>, Miss Mor\u00adland,\u201d said she, \u201cfor this liberty\u2014but I can\u00adnot any\u00adhow get to Miss Thor\u00adpe, and Mrs. Thor\u00adpe said she was sure you would not have the least objec\u00adtion<\/span> to let\u00adting in<\/span> this young lady by you.\u201d Mrs. Hugh\u00ades could not have applied to any crea\u00adture in the room more hap\u00adpy to oblige<\/span> her than Cather\u00adine. The young ladies were intro\u00adduced to each oth\u00ader, Miss Tilney express\u00ading a prop\u00ader sense of such good\u00adness, Miss Mor\u00adland with the real del\u00adi\u00adca\u00adcy of a gen\u00ader\u00adous mind mak\u00ading light of<\/span> the oblig\u00ada\u00adtion; and Mrs. Hugh\u00ades, sat\u00adis\u00adfied with hav\u00ading so respectably set\u00adtled her young charge<\/span>, returned to her party.<\/p>\n

Miss Tilney had a good fig\u00adure, a pret\u00adty face, and a very agree\u00adable coun\u00adte\u00adnance<\/span>; and her air<\/span>, though it had not all the decid\u00aded pre\u00adten\u00adsion<\/span>, the res\u00adolute styl\u00adish\u00adness<\/span> of Miss Thorpe\u2019s, had more real ele\u00adgance. Her man\u00adners showed good sense and good breed\u00ading<\/span>; they were nei\u00adther shy nor affect\u00aded\u00adly<\/span> open; and she seemed capa\u00adble of being young, attrac\u00adtive, and at a ball<\/span> with\u00adout want\u00adi\u00adng to fix the atten\u00adtion of every man near her, and with\u00adout exag\u00adger\u00adat\u00aded<\/span> feel\u00adings of ecsta\u00adt\u00adic<\/span> delight or incon\u00adceiv\u00adable<\/span> vex\u00ada\u00adtion<\/span> on every lit\u00adtle tri\u00adfling<\/span> occur\u00adrence. Cather\u00adine, inter\u00adest\u00aded at once by her appear\u00adance and her rela\u00adtion\u00adship to Mr. Tilney, was desirous<\/span> of being acquaint\u00aded with her, and read\u00adi\u00adly talked there\u00adfore when\u00adev\u00ader she could think of any\u00adthing to say, and had courage and leisure<\/span> for say\u00ading it. But the hin\u00addrance<\/span> thrown in the way of a very speedy inti\u00adma\u00adcy, by the fre\u00adquent want of one or more of these req\u00adui\u00adsites<\/span>, pre\u00advent\u00aded their doing more than going through the first rudi\u00adments<\/span> of an acquain\u00adtance, by inform\u00ading them\u00adselves how well the oth\u00ader liked Bath, how much she admired its build\u00adings and sur\u00adround\u00ading coun\u00adtry<\/span>, whether she drew, or played, or sang, and whether she was fond of<\/span> rid\u00ading on horseback.<\/p>\n

The two dances were scarce\u00adly<\/span> con\u00adclud\u00aded before Cather\u00adine found her arm gen\u00adtly seized by her faith\u00adful Isabel\u00adla, who in great spir\u00adits<\/span> exclaimed<\/span>, \u201cAt last I have got you. My dear\u00adest crea\u00adture, I have been look\u00ading for you this hour. What could induce you to come into this set<\/span>, when you knew I was in the oth\u00ader? I have been quite wretched<\/span> with\u00adout you.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMy dear Isabel\u00adla, how was it pos\u00adsi\u00adble for me to get at<\/span> you? I could not even see where you were.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSo I told your broth\u00ader all the time\u2014but he would not believe me. Do go and see for her, Mr. Mor\u00adland, said I\u2014but all in vain<\/span>\u2014he would not stir an inch. Was not it so, Mr. Mor\u00adland? But you men are all so immod\u00ader\u00adate\u00adly lazy! I have been scold\u00ading<\/span> him to such a degree, my dear Cather\u00adine, you would be quite amazed. You know I nev\u00ader stand upon cer\u00ade\u00admo\u00adny with<\/span> such people.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cLook at that young lady with the white beads<\/span> round her head,\u201d whis\u00adpered Cather\u00adine, detach\u00ading<\/span> her friend from James. \u201cIt is Mr. Tilney\u2019s sister.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOh! Heav\u00adens! You don\u2019t say so! Let me look at her this moment. What a delight\u00adful girl! I nev\u00ader saw any\u00adthing half so beau\u00adti\u00adful! But where is her all-con\u00adquer\u00ading<\/span> broth\u00ader? Is he in the room? Point him out to me this instant<\/span>, if he is. I die to see him. Mr. Mor\u00adland, you are not to lis\u00adten. We are not talk\u00ading about you.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBut what is all this whis\u00adper\u00ading about? What is going on<\/span>?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThere now<\/span>, I knew how it would be. You men have such rest\u00adless<\/span> curios\u00adi\u00adty! Talk of the curios\u00adi\u00adty of women, indeed! \u2018Tis<\/span> noth\u00ading. But be sat\u00adis\u00adfied, for you are not to know any\u00adthing at all<\/span> of the matter.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd is that like\u00adly to sat\u00adis\u00adfy me, do you think?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWell, I declare I nev\u00ader knew any\u00adthing like you. What can it sig\u00adni\u00adfy<\/span> to you, what we are talk\u00ading of. Per\u00adhaps we are talk\u00ading about you; there\u00adfore I would advise you not to lis\u00adten, or you may hap\u00adpen to hear<\/span> some\u00adthing not very agreeable.\u201d<\/p>\n

In this com\u00admon\u00adplace<\/span> chat\u00adter<\/span>, which last\u00aded some time, the orig\u00adi\u00adnal sub\u00adject seemed entire\u00adly for\u00adgot\u00adten; and though Cather\u00adine was very well pleased to have it dropped<\/span> for a while<\/span>, she could not avoid a lit\u00adtle sus\u00adpi\u00adcion at the total sus\u00adpen\u00adsion<\/span> of all Isabella\u2019s impa\u00adtient desire to see Mr. Tilney. When the orches\u00adtra struck up<\/span> a fresh dance, James would have led his fair part\u00adner away, but she resist\u00aded. \u201cI tell you, Mr. Mor\u00adland,\u201d she cried, \u201cI would not do such a thing for all the world<\/span>. How can you be so teas\u00ading<\/span>; only con\u00adceive<\/span>, my dear Cather\u00adine, what your broth\u00ader wants me to do. He wants me to dance with him again, though I tell him that it is a most improp\u00ader thing, and entire\u00adly against the rules. It would make us the talk of the place<\/span>, if we were not to change partners.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cUpon my hon\u00adour,\u201d <\/span>said James, \u201cin these pub\u00adlic <\/span>assem\u00adblies<\/span>, it is as often done as not<\/span>121<\/a><\/span><\/span>.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cNon\u00adsense, how can you say so? But when you men have a point to car\u00adry<\/span>, you nev\u00ader stick at any\u00adthing. My sweet Cather\u00adine, do sup\u00adport me; per\u00adsuade your broth\u00ader how impos\u00adsi\u00adble it is. Tell him that it would quite shock you to see me do such a thing; now would not it?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo, not at all<\/span>; but if you think it wrong, you had much bet\u00adter change<\/span>.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThere,\u201d cried Isabel\u00adla, \u201cyou hear what your sis\u00adter says, and yet you will not mind her. Well, remem\u00adber that it is not my fault, if we set all the old ladies in Bath in a bus\u00adtle<\/span>. Come along, my dear\u00adest Cather\u00adine, for heaven\u2019s sake, and stand by me<\/span>.\u201d And off they went, to regain<\/span> their for\u00admer place. John Thor\u00adpe, in the mean\u00adwhile, had walked away; and Cather\u00adine, ever will\u00ading to give Mr. Tilney an oppor\u00adtu\u00adni\u00adty of repeat\u00ading the agree\u00adable request which had already flat\u00adtered<\/span> her once, made her way to Mrs. Allen and Mrs. Thor\u00adpe as fast as she could, in the hope of find\u00ading him still with them\u2014a hope which, when it proved to be fruit\u00adless<\/span>, she felt to have been high\u00adly unrea\u00adson\u00adable. \u201cWell, my dear,\u201d said Mrs. Thor\u00adpe, impa\u00adtient for praise of her son, \u201cI hope you have had an agree\u00adable partner.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cVery agree\u00adable, madam.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI am glad of it. John has charm\u00ading spir\u00adits<\/span>, has not he?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDid you meet Mr. Tilney, my dear?\u201d said Mrs. Allen.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo, where is he?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was with us just now, and said he was so tired of loung\u00ading<\/span> about, that he was resolved<\/span> to go and dance; so I thought per\u00adhaps he would ask you, if he met with you.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhere can he be?\u201d said Cather\u00adine, look\u00ading round; but she had not looked round long before she saw him lead\u00ading a young lady to the dance.<\/p>\n

\u201cAh! He has got a part\u00adner; I wish he had asked you,\u201d said Mrs. Allen; and after a short silence, she added, \u201che is a very agree\u00adable young man.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIndeed he is, Mrs. Allen,\u201d said Mrs. Thor\u00adpe, smil\u00ading com\u00adpla\u00adcent\u00adly<\/span>; \u201cI must say it, though I am his moth\u00ader, that there is not a more agree\u00adable young man in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

This inap\u00adplic\u00ada\u00adble<\/span> answer might have been too much for the com\u00adpre\u00adhen\u00adsion<\/span> of many; but it did not puz\u00adzle Mrs. Allen, for<\/span> after only a moment\u2019s con\u00adsid\u00ader\u00ada\u00adtion, she said, in a whis\u00adper to Cather\u00adine, \u201cI dare say she thought I was speak\u00ading of her son.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cather\u00adine was dis\u00adap\u00adpoint\u00aded and vexed<\/span>. She seemed to have missed by so lit\u00adtle the very object she had had in view; and this per\u00adsua\u00adsion<\/span> did not incline<\/span> her to a very gra\u00adcious<\/span> reply, when John Thor\u00adpe came up to her soon after\u00adwards and said, \u201cWell, Miss Mor\u00adland, I sup\u00adpose you and I are to stand up and jig<\/span> it togeth\u00ader again.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOh, no; I am much oblig\u00aded to you, our two dances are over; and, besides, I am tired, and do not mean to dance any more.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDo not you? Then let us walk about and quiz<\/span> peo\u00adple. Come along with me, and I will show you the four great\u00adest quizzers<\/span> in the room; my two younger sis\u00adters and their part\u00adners. I have been laugh\u00ading at them this half hour.\u201d<\/p>\n

Again Cather\u00adine excused her\u00adself; and at last he walked off to quiz<\/span> his sis\u00adters by him\u00adself. The rest of the evening she found very dull<\/span>; Mr. Tilney was drawn away from their par\u00adty at tea, to attend that of his part\u00adner; Miss Tilney, though belong\u00ading to it, did not sit near her, and James and Isabel\u00adla were so much engaged in con\u00advers\u00ading<\/span> togeth\u00ader that the lat\u00adter had no leisure<\/span> to bestow<\/span> more on her friend than one smile, one squeeze, and one \u201cdear\u00adest Catherine.\u201d<\/p>\n

The progress<\/span> of Catherine\u2019s unhap\u00adpi\u00adness from the events of the evening was as fol\u00adlows. It appeared first in a gen\u00ader\u00adal dis\u00adsat\u00adis\u00adfac\u00adtion with every\u00adbody about her, while she remained in the rooms, which speed\u00adi\u00adly brought on con\u00adsid\u00ader\u00adable weari\u00adness<\/span> and a vio\u00adlent desire to go home. This, on arriv\u00ading in Pul\u00adteney Street<\/span>, took the direc\u00adtion of extra\u00ador\u00addi\u00adnary hunger, and when that was appeased<\/span>, changed into an earnest<\/span> long\u00ading<\/span> to be in bed; such was the extreme point of her dis\u00adtress<\/span>; for<\/span> when there she imme\u00addi\u00adate\u00adly fell into a sound sleep which last\u00aded nine hours, and from which she awoke per\u00adfect\u00adly revived<\/span>, in excel\u00adlent spir\u00adits<\/span>, with fresh hopes and fresh schemes. The first wish of her heart was to improve her acquain\u00adtance with Miss Tilney, and almost her first res\u00ado\u00adlu\u00adtion<\/span>, to seek her for that pur\u00adpose, in the pump-room<\/span> at noon. In the pump-room<\/span>, one so new\u00adly arrived in Bath must be met with, and that build\u00ading she had already found so favourable for the dis\u00adcov\u00adery of female excel\u00adlence, and the com\u00adple\u00adtion of female inti\u00adma\u00adcy, so admirably<\/span> adapt\u00aded for secret dis\u00adcours\u00ades<\/span> and unlim\u00adit\u00aded con\u00adfi\u00addence, that she was most rea\u00adson\u00adably encour\u00adaged to expect anoth\u00ader friend from with\u00adin its walls. Her plan for the morn\u00ading thus set\u00adtled, she sat qui\u00adet\u00adly down to her book after break\u00adfast, resolv\u00ading<\/span> to remain in the same place and the same employ\u00adment till the clock struck one; and from habi\u00adtude very lit\u00adtle incom\u00admod\u00aded<\/span> by the remarks and ejac\u00adu\u00adla\u00adtions<\/span> of Mrs. Allen, whose vacan\u00adcy of mind and inca\u00adpac\u00adi\u00adty for think\u00ading were such, that as she nev\u00ader talked a great deal<\/span>, so she could nev\u00ader be entire\u00adly silent; and, there\u00adfore, while she sat at her work, if she lost her nee\u00addle or broke her thread, if she heard a car\u00adriage<\/span> in the street, or saw a speck<\/span> upon her gown<\/span>, she must observe it aloud, whether there were any\u00adone at leisure<\/span> to answer her or not. At about half past twelve, a remark\u00adably loud rap<\/span> drew her in haste<\/span> to the win\u00addow, and scarce\u00adly<\/span> had she time to inform Cather\u00adine of there being two open car\u00adriages<\/span> at the door, in the first only a ser\u00advant, her broth\u00ader dri\u00adving Miss Thor\u00adpe in the sec\u00adond, before John Thor\u00adpe came run\u00adning upstairs, call\u00ading out<\/span>, \u201cWell, Miss Mor\u00adland, here I am. Have you been wait\u00ading long? We could not come before; the old dev\u00adil of a coach\u00admak\u00ader<\/span> was such an eter\u00adni\u00adty find\u00ading out a thing fit to be got into<\/span>, and now it is ten thou\u00adsand to one but they break down before we are out of the street. How do you do, Mrs. Allen? A famous<\/span> ball<\/span> last night, was not it? Come, Miss Mor\u00adland, be quick, for<\/span> the oth\u00aders are in a con\u00adfound\u00aded<\/span> hur\u00adry to be off<\/span>. They want to get their tum\u00adble over<\/span>.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat do you mean?\u201d said Cather\u00adine. \u201cWhere are you all going to?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cGoing to? Why, you have not for\u00adgot our engage\u00adment! Did not we agree togeth\u00ader to take a dri\u00adve <\/span>this morn\u00ading? What a head you have! We are going up Claver\u00adton Down<\/span>.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSome\u00adthing was said about it, I remem\u00adber,\u201d said Cather\u00adine, look\u00ading at Mrs. Allen for her opin\u00adion; \u201cbut real\u00adly I did not expect you.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNot expect me! That\u2019s a good one<\/span>! And what a dust<\/span> you would have made, if I had not come.\u201d<\/p>\n

Catherine\u2019s silent appeal to her friend, mean\u00adwhile, was entire\u00adly thrown away<\/span>, for<\/span> Mrs. Allen, not being at all<\/span> in the habit of con\u00advey\u00ading any expres\u00adsion her\u00adself by a look, was not aware of its being ever intend\u00aded by any\u00adbody else; and Cather\u00adine, whose desire of see\u00ading Miss Tilney again could at that moment bear<\/span> a short delay in favour of<\/span> a dri\u00adve, and who thought there could be no impro\u00adpri\u00adety<\/span> in her going with Mr. Thor\u00adpe, as Isabel\u00adla was going at the same time with James, was there\u00adfore oblig\u00aded to speak plain\u00ader. \u201cWell, ma\u2019am<\/span>, what do you say to it? Can you spare<\/span> me for an hour or two? Shall I go?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDo just as you please, my dear,\u201d replied Mrs. Allen, with the most placid<\/span> indif\u00adfer\u00adence. Cather\u00adine took the advice<\/span>, and ran off to get ready. In a very few min\u00adutes she reap\u00adpeared<\/span>, hav\u00ading scarce\u00adly<\/span> allowed the two oth\u00aders time enough to get through<\/span> a few short sen\u00adtences in her praise, after Thor\u00adpe had pro\u00adcured<\/span> Mrs. Allen\u2019s admi\u00adra\u00adtion of his gig<\/span>; and then receiv\u00ading her friend\u2019s part\u00ading good wish\u00ades, they both hur\u00adried down\u00adstairs. \u201cMy dear\u00adest crea\u00adture,\u201d cried Isabel\u00adla, to whom the duty of friend\u00adship imme\u00addi\u00adate\u00adly called her before she could get into<\/span> the car\u00adriage<\/span>, \u201cyou have been at least<\/span> three hours get\u00adting ready. I was afraid you were ill. What a delight\u00adful ball<\/span> we had last night. I have a thou\u00adsand things to say to you; but make haste and get in<\/span>, for I long<\/span> to be off<\/span>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cather\u00adine fol\u00adlowed her orders and turned away, but not too soon to hear her friend exclaim<\/span> aloud to James, \u201cWhat a sweet girl she is! I quite dote on her<\/span>.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou will not be fright\u00adened, Miss Mor\u00adland,\u201d said Thor\u00adpe, as he hand\u00aded her in<\/span>, \u201cif my horse should dance about a lit\u00adtle at first set\u00adting off<\/span>. He will, most like\u00adly, give a plunge<\/span> or two, and per\u00adhaps take the rest for a minute; but he will soon know his mas\u00adter<\/span>. He is full of spir\u00adits<\/span>, play\u00adful as can be, but there is no vice<\/span> in him.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cather\u00adine did not think the por\u00adtrait a very invit\u00ading one, but it was too late to retreat, and she was too young to own<\/span> her\u00adself fright\u00adened; so, resign\u00ading her\u00adself to her fate<\/span>, and trust\u00ading to the animal\u2019s boast\u00aded<\/span> knowl\u00adedge of its own\u00ader, she sat peace\u00adably<\/span> down, and saw Thor\u00adpe sit down by her. Every\u00adthing being then arranged, the ser\u00advant who stood at the horse\u2019s head was bid in an impor\u00adtant voice \u201cto let him go,\u201d and off they went in the qui\u00adetest man\u00adner imag\u00adin\u00adable, with\u00adout a plunge or a caper<\/span>, or any\u00adthing like one. Cather\u00adine, delight\u00aded at so hap\u00adpy an escape, spoke her plea\u00adsure aloud with grate\u00adful sur\u00adprise; and her com\u00adpan\u00adion imme\u00addi\u00adate\u00adly made the mat\u00adter per\u00adfect\u00adly sim\u00adple by assur\u00ading her that it was entire\u00adly owing to the pecu\u00adliar\u00adly<\/span> judi\u00adcious<\/span> man\u00adner in which he had then held the reins<\/span>, and the sin\u00adgu\u00adlar<\/span> dis\u00adcern\u00adment<\/span> and dex\u00adter\u00adi\u00adty<\/span> with which he had direct\u00aded his whip<\/span>. Cather\u00adine, though she could not help won\u00adder\u00ading that with such per\u00adfect com\u00admand of his horse, he should think it nec\u00ades\u00adsary to alarm her with a rela\u00adtion of its tricks, con\u00adgrat\u00adu\u00adlat\u00aded her\u00adself sin\u00adcere\u00adly<\/span> on being under the care of so excel\u00adlent a coach\u00adman<\/span>; and per\u00adceiv\u00ading<\/span> that the ani\u00admal con\u00adtin\u00adued to go on<\/span> in the same qui\u00adet man\u00adner, with\u00adout show\u00ading the small\u00adest propen\u00adsi\u00adty<\/span> towards any unpleas\u00adant vivac\u00adi\u00adty<\/span>, and (con\u00adsid\u00ader\u00ading its inevitable pace was ten miles an hour) by no means<\/span> alarm\u00ading\u00adly fast, gave her\u00adself up<\/span> to all the enjoy\u00adment of air and exer\u00adcise of the most invig\u00ado\u00adrat\u00ading<\/span> kind, in a fine mild day of Feb\u00adru\u00adary, with the con\u00adscious\u00adness of safe\u00adty. A silence of sev\u00ader\u00adal min\u00adutes suc\u00adceed\u00aded their first short dia\u00adlogue; it was bro\u00adken by Thorpe\u2019s say\u00ading very abrupt\u00adly<\/span>, \u201cOld Allen is as rich as a Jew\u2014is not he?\u201d Cather\u00adine did not under\u00adstand him\u2014and he repeat\u00aded his ques\u00adtion, adding in expla\u00adna\u00adtion, \u201cOld Allen, the man you are with.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOh! Mr. Allen, you mean. Yes, I believe, he is very rich.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd no chil\u00addren at all<\/span>?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo\u2014not any.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cA famous<\/span> thing for his next heirs<\/span>. He is your god\u00adfa\u00adther<\/span>, is not he?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMy god\u00adfa\u00adther<\/span>! No.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBut you are always very much with them.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, very much.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAye<\/span>, that is what I meant. He seems a good kind of old fel\u00adlow enough, and has lived very well in his time<\/span>, I dare say; he is not gouty<\/span> for noth\u00ading<\/span>. Does he drink his bot\u00adtle a day now?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHis bot\u00adtle a day! No. Why should you think of such a thing? He is a very tem\u00adper\u00adate<\/span> man, and you could not fan\u00adcy him in liquor<\/span> last night?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cLord<\/span> help you! You women are always think\u00ading of men\u2019s being in liquor<\/span>. Why, you do not sup\u00adpose a man is over\u00adset<\/span> by a bot\u00adtle? I am sure of this\u2014that if every\u00adbody was to drink their bot\u00adtle a day, there would not be half the dis\u00ador\u00adders in the world there are now. It would be a famous<\/span> good thing for us all.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI can\u00adnot believe it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOh! Lord<\/span>, it would be the sav\u00ading of thou\u00adsands. There is not the hun\u00addredth part of the wine con\u00adsumed in this king\u00addom that there ought to be. Our fog\u00adgy cli\u00admate wants help.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd yet I have heard that there is a great deal<\/span> of wine drunk in Oxford.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOxford! There is no drink\u00ading at Oxford now, I assure you. Nobody drinks there. You would hard\u00adly meet with a man who goes beyond his four pints<\/span> at the utmost<\/span>. Now, for instance<\/span>, it was reck\u00adoned<\/span> a remark\u00adable thing, at the last par\u00adty in my rooms, that upon an aver\u00adage we cleared about five pints<\/span> a head. It was looked upon<\/span> as some\u00adthing out of the com\u00admon way<\/span>. Mine is famous<\/span> good stuff, to be sure. You would not often meet with any\u00adthing like it in Oxford\u2014and that may account for<\/span> it. But this will just give you a notion<\/span> of the gen\u00ader\u00adal rate of drink\u00ading there.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, it does give a notion<\/span>,\u201d said Cather\u00adine warm\u00adly, \u201cand that is, that you all drink a great deal<\/span> more wine than I thought you did. How\u00adev\u00ader, I am sure James does not drink so much.\u201d<\/p>\n

This dec\u00adla\u00adra\u00adtion brought on a loud and over\u00adpow\u00ader\u00ading<\/span> reply, of which no part was very dis\u00adtinct, except the fre\u00adquent excla\u00adma\u00adtions<\/span>, amount\u00ading almost to oaths<\/span>, which adorned<\/span> it, and Cather\u00adine was left, when it end\u00aded, with rather a strength\u00adened belief of there being a great deal<\/span> of wine drunk in Oxford, and the same hap\u00adpy con\u00advic\u00adtion<\/span> of her brother\u2019s com\u00adpar\u00ada\u00adtive sobri\u00adety<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Thorpe\u2019s ideas then all revert\u00aded<\/span> to the mer\u00adits of his own equipage<\/span>, and she was called on<\/span> to admire the spir\u00adit and free\u00addom with which his horse moved along, and the ease which his paces, as well as the excel\u00adlence of the springs<\/span>, gave the motion of the car\u00adriage<\/span>. She fol\u00adlowed him in all his admi\u00adra\u00adtion as well as she could. To go before or beyond him was impos\u00adsi\u00adble. His knowl\u00adedge and her igno\u00adrance of the sub\u00adject, his rapid\u00adi\u00adty of expres\u00adsion, and her dif\u00adfi\u00addence<\/span> of her\u00adself put that out of her pow\u00ader<\/span>; she could strike out<\/span> noth\u00ading new in com\u00admen\u00adda\u00adtion<\/span>, but she read\u00adi\u00adly echoed what\u00adev\u00ader he chose to assert, and it was final\u00adly set\u00adtled between them with\u00adout any dif\u00adfi\u00adcul\u00adty that his equipage<\/span> was alto\u00adgeth\u00ader the most com\u00adplete of its kind in Eng\u00adland, his car\u00adriage<\/span> the neat\u00adest, his horse the best goer<\/span>, and him\u00adself the best coach\u00adman<\/span>. \u201cYou do not real\u00adly think, Mr. Thor\u00adpe,\u201d said Cather\u00adine, ven\u00adtur\u00ading after some time to con\u00adsid\u00ader the mat\u00adter as entire\u00adly decid\u00aded, and to offer some lit\u00adtle vari\u00ada\u00adtion on the sub\u00adject, \u201cthat James\u2019s gig<\/span> will break down?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBreak down! Oh! Lord<\/span>! Did you ever see such a lit\u00adtle tit\u00adtup\u00adpy<\/span> thing in your life? There is not a sound piece of iron about it. The wheels have been fair\u00adly worn out<\/span> these ten years at least<\/span>\u2014and as for<\/span> the body! Upon my soul<\/span>, you might shake it to pieces your\u00adself with a touch. It is the most dev\u00adil\u00adish lit\u00adtle rick\u00adety<\/span> busi\u00adness I ever beheld<\/span>! Thank God! we have got a bet\u00adter. I would not be bound to go two miles<\/span> in it for fifty thou\u00adsand pounds.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cGood heav\u00adens!<\/span>\u201d cried Cather\u00adine, quite fright\u00adened. \u201cThen pray<\/span> let us turn back<\/span>; they will cer\u00adtain\u00adly meet with an acci\u00addent if we go on<\/span>. Do let us turn back<\/span>, Mr. Thor\u00adpe; stop and speak to my broth\u00ader, and tell him how very unsafe it is.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cUnsafe! Oh, lord<\/span>! What is there in that? They will only get a roll if it does break down; and there is plen\u00adty of dirt; it will be excel\u00adlent falling. Oh, curse<\/span> it! The car\u00adriage<\/span> is safe enough, if a man knows how to dri\u00adve it; a thing of that sort in good hands will last above twen\u00adty years after it is fair\u00adly worn out<\/span>. Lord<\/span> bless you! I would under\u00adtake for five pounds to dri\u00adve it to York and back again, with\u00adout los\u00ading a nail.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cather\u00adine lis\u00adtened with aston\u00adish\u00adment; she knew not how to rec\u00adon\u00adcile<\/span> two such very dif\u00adfer\u00adent accounts<\/span> of the same thing; for<\/span> she had not been brought up to under\u00adstand the propen\u00adsi\u00adties<\/span> of a rat\u00adtle<\/span>, nor to know to how many idle asser\u00adtions and impu\u00addent<\/span> false\u00adhoods<\/span> the excess<\/span> of van\u00adi\u00adty<\/span> will lead. Her own fam\u00adi\u00adly were plain, mat\u00adter-of-fact<\/span> peo\u00adple who sel\u00addom aimed at wit<\/span> of any kind; her father, at the utmost<\/span>, being con\u00adtent\u00aded with a pun<\/span>, and her moth\u00ader with a proverb<\/span>; they were not in the habit there\u00adfore of telling lies to increase their impor\u00adtance, or of assert\u00ading at one moment what they would con\u00adtra\u00addict the next. She reflect\u00aded on the affair<\/span> for some time in much per\u00adplex\u00adi\u00adty<\/span>, and was more than once on the point of<\/span> request\u00ading from Mr. Thor\u00adpe a clear\u00ader insight into his real opin\u00adion on the sub\u00adject; but she checked<\/span> her\u00adself, because it appeared to her that he did not excel<\/span> in giv\u00ading those clear\u00ader insights, in mak\u00ading those things plain which he had before made ambigu\u00adous<\/span>; and, join\u00ading to this, the con\u00adsid\u00ader\u00ada\u00adtion that he would not real\u00adly suf\u00adfer his sis\u00adter and his friend to be exposed to a dan\u00adger from which he might eas\u00adi\u00adly pre\u00adserve them, she con\u00adclud\u00aded at last that he must know the car\u00adriage<\/span> to be in fact<\/span> per\u00adfect\u00adly safe, and there\u00adfore would alarm her\u00adself no longer. By him the whole mat\u00adter seemed entire\u00adly for\u00adgot\u00adten; and all the rest of his con\u00adver\u00adsa\u00adtion, or rather talk, began and end\u00aded with him\u00adself and his own con\u00adcerns. He told her of hors\u00ades which he had bought for a tri\u00adfle<\/span> and sold for incred\u00adi\u00adble sums; of rac\u00ading match\u00ades, in which his judg\u00adment had infal\u00adli\u00adbly<\/span> fore\u00adtold<\/span> the win\u00adner; of shoot\u00ading par\u00adties, in which he had killed more birds (though with\u00adout hav\u00ading one good shot) than all his com\u00adpan\u00adions togeth\u00ader; and described to her some famous<\/span> day\u2019s sport, with the fox-hounds<\/span>, in which his fore\u00adsight<\/span> and skill in direct\u00ading the dogs had repaired the mis\u00adtakes of the most expe\u00adri\u00adenced hunts\u00adman<\/span>, and in which the bold\u00adness of his rid\u00ading, though it had nev\u00ader endan\u00adgered his own life for a moment, had been con\u00adstant\u00adly lead\u00ading oth\u00aders into dif\u00adfi\u00adcul\u00adties, which he calm\u00adly con\u00adclud\u00aded had bro\u00adken the necks of many.<\/p>\n

Lit\u00adtle as Cather\u00adine was in the habit of judg\u00ading for her\u00adself, and unfixed as were her gen\u00ader\u00adal notions<\/span> of what men ought to be, she could not entire\u00adly repress<\/span> a doubt, while she bore with<\/span> the effu\u00adsions<\/span> of his end\u00adless con\u00adceit<\/span>, of his being alto\u00adgeth\u00ader com\u00adplete\u00adly agree\u00adable. It was a bold sur\u00admise<\/span>, for he was Isabella\u2019s broth\u00ader; and she had been assured by James that his man\u00adners would rec\u00adom\u00admend him to all her sex; but in spite of<\/span> this, the extreme weari\u00adness<\/span> of his com\u00adpa\u00adny, which crept over<\/span> her before they had been out an hour, and which con\u00adtin\u00adued unceas\u00ading\u00adly to increase till they stopped in Pul\u00adteney Street<\/span> again, induced her, in some small degree, to resist such high author\u00adi\u00adty, and to dis\u00adtrust his pow\u00aders of giv\u00ading uni\u00adver\u00adsal pleasure.<\/p>\n

When they arrived at Mrs. Allen\u2019s door, the aston\u00adish\u00adment of Isabel\u00adla was hard\u00adly to be expressed, on find\u00ading that it was too late in the day for them to attend<\/span> her friend into the house: \u201cPast three o\u2019clock!\u201d It was incon\u00adceiv\u00adable<\/span>, incred\u00adi\u00adble, impos\u00adsi\u00adble! And she would nei\u00adther believe her own watch, nor her brother\u2019s, nor the servant\u2019s; she would believe no assur\u00adance of it found\u00aded on rea\u00adson or real\u00adi\u00adty<\/span>, till Mor\u00adland pro\u00adduced<\/span> his watch, and ascer\u00adtained<\/span> the fact; to have doubt\u00aded a moment longer then would have been equal\u00adly incon\u00adceiv\u00adable<\/span>, incred\u00adi\u00adble, and impos\u00adsi\u00adble; and she could only protest, over and over again, that no two hours and a half had ever gone off so swift\u00adly before, as Cather\u00adine was called on<\/span> to con\u00adfirm; Cather\u00adine could not tell a false\u00adhood<\/span> even to please Isabel\u00adla; but the lat\u00adter was spared the mis\u00adery of her friend\u2019s dis\u00adsent\u00ading<\/span> voice, by not wait\u00ading for her answer. Her own feel\u00adings entire\u00adly engrossed<\/span> her; her wretched\u00adness<\/span> was most acute on find\u00ading her\u00adself oblig\u00aded to go direct\u00adly home. It was ages since she had had a moment\u2019s con\u00adver\u00adsa\u00adtion with her dear\u00adest Cather\u00adine; and, though she had such thou\u00adsands of things to say to her, it appeared as if they were nev\u00ader to be togeth\u00ader again; so, with snif\u00adfles<\/span> of most exquis\u00adite<\/span> mis\u00adery, and the laugh\u00ading eye of utter<\/span> despon\u00adden\u00adcy<\/span>, she bade her friend adieu<\/span> and went on<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Cather\u00adine found Mrs. Allen just returned from all the busy idle\u00adness of the morn\u00ading, and was imme\u00addi\u00adate\u00adly greet\u00aded with, \u201cWell, my dear, here you are,\u201d a truth which she had no greater incli\u00adna\u00adtion<\/span> than pow\u00ader to dis\u00adpute; \u201cand I hope you have had a pleas\u00adant air\u00ading<\/span>?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, ma\u2019am<\/span>, I thank you; we could not have had a nicer day.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSo Mrs. Thor\u00adpe said; she was vast\u00adly pleased at your all going.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou have seen Mrs. Thor\u00adpe, then?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, I went to the pump-room<\/span> as soon as<\/span> you were gone, and there I met her, and we had a great deal<\/span> of talk togeth\u00ader. She says there was hard\u00adly any veal<\/span> to be got at mar\u00adket this morn\u00ading, it is so uncom\u00admon\u00adly scarce<\/span>.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDid you see any\u00adbody else of our acquaintance?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYes; we agreed to take a turn<\/span> in the Cres\u00adcent<\/span>, and there we met Mrs. Hugh\u00ades, and Mr. and Miss Tilney walk\u00ading with her.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDid you indeed? And did they speak to you?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, we walked along the Cres\u00adcent<\/span> togeth\u00ader for half an hour. They seem very agree\u00adable peo\u00adple. Miss Tilney was in a very pret\u00adty spot\u00adted muslin<\/span>, and I fan\u00adcy, by what I can learn, that she always dress\u00ades very hand\u00adsome\u00adly. Mrs. Hugh\u00ades talked to me a great deal<\/span> about the family.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd what did she tell you of them?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOh! A vast deal indeed; she hard\u00adly talked of any\u00adthing else.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDid she tell you what part of Glouces\u00adter\u00adshire<\/span> they come from?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, she did; but I can\u00adnot rec\u00adol\u00adlect<\/span> now. But they are very good kind of peo\u00adple, and very rich. Mrs. Tilney was a Miss Drum\u00admond, and she and Mrs. Hugh\u00ades were schoolfel\u00adlows<\/span>; and Miss Drum\u00admond had a very large for\u00adtune; and, when she mar\u00adried, her father gave her twen\u00adty thou\u00adsand pounds, and five hun\u00addred to buy wed\u00adding-clothes. Mrs. Hugh\u00ades saw all the clothes after they came from the ware\u00adhouse<\/span>.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd are Mr. and Mrs. Tilney in Bath?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, I fan\u00adcy they are, but I am not quite cer\u00adtain. Upon rec\u00adol\u00adlec\u00adtion<\/span>, how\u00adev\u00ader, I have a notion<\/span> they are both dead; at least<\/span> the moth\u00ader is; yes, I am sure Mrs. Tilney is dead, because Mrs. Hugh\u00ades told me there was a very beau\u00adti\u00adful set of pearls that Mr. Drum\u00admond gave his daugh\u00adter on her wed\u00adding-day and that Miss Tilney has got now, for they were put by<\/span> for her when her moth\u00ader died.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd is Mr. Tilney, my part\u00adner, the only son?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI can\u00adnot be quite pos\u00adi\u00adtive about<\/span> that, my dear; I have some idea he is; but, how\u00adev\u00ader, he is a very fine young man, Mrs. Hugh\u00ades says, and like\u00adly to do very well.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cather\u00adine inquired no fur\u00adther; she had heard enough to feel that Mrs. Allen had no real intel\u00adli\u00adgence<\/span> to give, and that she was most par\u00adtic\u00adu\u00adlar\u00adly unfor\u00adtu\u00adnate her\u00adself in hav\u00ading missed such a meet\u00ading with both broth\u00ader and sis\u00adter.

My moth\u00ader says he is the most delight\u00adful young man in the world; she saw him this morn\u00ading, you know; you must intro\u00adduce him to me. Is he in the house now? Look about, for heaven\u2019s sake! I assure you, I can hard\u00adly exist till I see him.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo,\u201d said Cather\u00adine, \u201che is not here; I can\u00adnot see him anywhere.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOh, hor\u00adrid<\/span>! Am I nev\u00ader to be acquaint\u00aded with him? How do you like my gown<\/span>? I think it does not look amiss<\/span>; the sleeves were entire\u00adly my own thought. Do you know, I get so immod\u00ader\u00adate\u00adly sick of Bath; your broth\u00ader and I were agree\u00ading this morn\u00ading that, though it is vast\u00adly well to be here for a few weeks, we would not live here for mil\u00adlions. We soon found out that our tastes were exact\u00adly alike in pre\u00adfer\u00adring the coun\u00adtry<\/span> to every oth\u00ader place; real\u00adly, our opin\u00adions were so exact\u00adly the same, it was quite ridicu\u00adlous! There was not a sin\u00adgle point<\/span> in which we dif\u00adfered; I would not have had you by<\/span> for the world<\/span>; you are such a sly<\/span> thing, I am sure you would have made some droll<\/span> remark or oth\u00ader about it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo, indeed I should not.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOh, yes you would indeed; I know you bet\u00adter than you know your\u00adself. You would have told us that we seemed born for each oth\u00ader, or some non\u00adsense of that kind, which would have dis\u00adtressed<\/span> me beyond con\u00adcep\u00adtion; my cheeks would have been as red as your ros\u00ades; I would not have had you by<\/span> for the world<\/span>.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIndeed you do me injus\u00adtice; I would not have made so improp\u00ader a remark upon any account<\/span>; and besides, I am sure it would nev\u00ader have entered my head<\/span>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Isabel\u00adla smiled incred\u00adu\u00adlous\u00adly<\/span> and talked the rest of the evening to James.<\/p>\n

Catherine\u2019s res\u00ado\u00adlu\u00adtion<\/span> of endeav\u00adour\u00ading<\/span> to meet Miss Tilney again con\u00adtin\u00adued in full force the next morn\u00ading; and till the usu\u00adal moment of going to the pump-room<\/span>, she felt some alarm from the dread<\/span> of a sec\u00adond pre\u00adven\u00adtion<\/span>. But noth\u00ading of that kind occurred, no vis\u00adi\u00adtors appeared to delay them, and they all three set off<\/span> in good time<\/span> for the pump-room<\/span>, where the ordi\u00adnary course of events and con\u00adver\u00adsa\u00adtion took place<\/span>; Mr. Allen, after drink\u00ading his glass of water, joined some gen\u00adtle\u00admen to talk over the pol\u00adi\u00adtics of the day and com\u00adpare the accounts<\/span> of their news\u00adpa\u00adpers; and the ladies walked about togeth\u00ader, notic\u00ading every new face, and almost every new bon\u00adnet<\/span> in the room. The female part of the Thor\u00adpe fam\u00adi\u00adly, attend\u00aded<\/span> by James Mor\u00adland, appeared among the crowd in less than a quar\u00adter of an hour, and Cather\u00adine imme\u00addi\u00adate\u00adly took her usu\u00adal place<\/span> by the side of her friend<\/span>. James, who was now in con\u00adstant atten\u00addance, main\u00adtained a sim\u00adi\u00adlar posi\u00adtion, and sep\u00ada\u00adrat\u00ading them\u00adselves from the rest of their par\u00adty, they walked in that man\u00adner for some time, till Cather\u00adine began to doubt the hap\u00adpi\u00adness of a sit\u00adu\u00ada\u00adtion which, con\u00adfin\u00ading<\/span> her entire\u00adly to her friend and broth\u00ader, gave her very lit\u00adtle share in the notice of either. They were always engaged in some sen\u00adti\u00admen\u00adtal dis\u00adcus\u00adsion or live\u00adly dis\u00adpute, but their sen\u00adti\u00adment was con\u00adveyed in such whis\u00adper\u00ading voic\u00ades, and their vivac\u00adi\u00adty<\/span> attend\u00aded<\/span> with so much laugh\u00adter, that though Catherine\u2019s sup\u00adport\u00ading opin\u00adion was not unfre\u00adquent\u00adly called for<\/span> by one or the oth\u00ader, she was nev\u00ader able to give any, from not hav\u00ading heard a word of the sub\u00adject. At length<\/span> how\u00adev\u00ader she was empow\u00adered<\/span> to dis\u00aden\u00adgage her\u00adself from her friend, by the avowed<\/span> neces\u00adsi\u00adty of speak\u00ading to Miss Tilney, whom she most joy\u00adful\u00adly saw just enter\u00ading the room with Mrs. Hugh\u00ades, and whom she instant\u00adly joined, with a firmer deter\u00admi\u00adna\u00adtion to be acquaint\u00aded, than she might have had courage to com\u00admand, had she not been urged by the dis\u00adap\u00adpoint\u00adment of the day before. Miss Tilney met her with great civil\u00adi\u00adty<\/span>, returned her advances with equal good\u00adwill<\/span>, and they con\u00adtin\u00adued talk\u00ading togeth\u00ader as long as<\/span> both par\u00adties remained in the room; and though in all prob\u00ada\u00adbil\u00adi\u00adty not an obser\u00adva\u00adtion was made, nor an expres\u00adsion used by either which had not been made and used some thou\u00adsands of times before, under that roof, in every Bath sea\u00adson, yet the mer\u00adit of their being spo\u00adken with sim\u00adplic\u00adi\u00adty and truth, and with\u00adout per\u00adson\u00adal con\u00adceit<\/span>, might be some\u00adthing uncommon.<\/p>\n

\u201cHow well your broth\u00ader dances!\u201d was an art\u00adless excla\u00adma\u00adtion<\/span> of Catherine\u2019s towards the close of their con\u00adver\u00adsa\u00adtion, which at once<\/span> sur\u00adprised and amused her companion.<\/p>\n

\u201cHen\u00adry!\u201d she replied with a smile. \u201cYes, he does dance very well.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHe must have thought it very odd to hear me say I was engaged the oth\u00ader evening, when he saw me sit\u00adting down. But I real\u00adly had been engaged the whole day to Mr. Thor\u00adpe.\u201d Miss Tilney could only bow. \u201cYou can\u00adnot think,\u201d added Cather\u00adine after a moment\u2019s silence, \u201chow sur\u00adprised I was to see him again. I felt so sure of his being quite gone away.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen Hen\u00adry had the plea\u00adsure of see\u00ading you before, he was in Bath but<\/span> for a cou\u00adple of days<\/span>. He came only to engage lodg\u00adings<\/span> for us.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThat nev\u00ader occurred to me; and of course, not see\u00ading him any\u00adwhere, I thought he must be gone. Was not the young lady he danced with on Mon\u00adday a Miss Smith?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, an acquain\u00adtance of Mrs. Hughes.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI dare say she was very glad to dance. Do you think her pretty?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNot very.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHe nev\u00ader comes to the pump-room<\/span>, I suppose?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, some\u00adtimes; but he has rid out this morn\u00ading with my father.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mrs. Hugh\u00ades now joined them, and asked Miss Tilney if she was ready to go. \u201cI hope I shall have the plea\u00adsure of see\u00ading you again soon,\u201d said Cather\u00adine. \u201cShall you be at the cotil\u00adlion<\/span> ball<\/span> tomorrow?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cPer\u00adhaps we\u2014Yes, I think we cer\u00adtain\u00adly shall.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI am glad of it, for we shall all be there.\u201d This civil\u00adi\u00adty<\/span> was duly<\/span> returned; and they parted\u2014on Miss Tilney\u2019s side with some knowl\u00adedge of her new acquaintance\u2019s feel\u00adings, and on Catherine\u2019s, with\u00adout the small\u00adest con\u00adscious\u00adness of hav\u00ading explained them.<\/p>\n

She went home very hap\u00adpy. The morn\u00ading had answered all her hopes, and the evening of the fol\u00adlow\u00ading day was now the object of expec\u00adta\u00adtion, the future good. What gown<\/span> and what head-dress<\/span> she should wear on the occa\u00adsion became her chief con\u00adcern. She can\u00adnot be jus\u00adti\u00adfied<\/span> in it. Dress is at all57<\/a><\/span> times a friv\u00ado\u00adlous<\/span> dis\u00adtinc\u00adtion, and exces\u00adsive solic\u00adi\u00adtude<\/span> about it often destroys its own aim. Cather\u00adine knew all this very well; her great aunt had read her a lec\u00adture<\/span> on the sub\u00adject only the Christ\u00admas before; and yet she lay awake ten min\u00adutes on Wednes\u00adday night debat\u00ading between her spot\u00adted and her tam\u00adboured<\/span> muslin<\/span>, and noth\u00ading but the short\u00adness of the time pre\u00advent\u00aded her buy\u00ading a new one for the evening. This would have been an error in judg\u00adment, great though not uncom\u00admon, from which one of the oth\u00ader sex rather than her own, a broth\u00ader rather than a great aunt, might have warned her, for<\/span> man only can be aware of the insen\u00adsi\u00adbil\u00adi\u00adty of man towards a new gown<\/span>. It would be mor\u00adti\u00adfy\u00ading<\/span> to the feel\u00adings of many ladies, could they be made to under\u00adstand how lit\u00adtle the heart of man is affect\u00aded by what is cost\u00adly or new in their attire<\/span>; how lit\u00adtle it is biased<\/span> by the tex\u00adture of their muslin<\/span>, and how unsus\u00adcep\u00adti\u00adble<\/span> of pecu\u00adliar<\/span> ten\u00adder\u00adness towards the spot\u00adted, the sprigged<\/span>, the mull<\/span>, or the jack\u00adonet<\/span>. Woman is fine for her own sat\u00adis\u00adfac\u00adtion alone. No man will admire her the more, no woman will like her the bet\u00adter for it. Neat\u00adness and fash\u00adion are enough for the for\u00admer, and a some\u00adthing of shab\u00adbi\u00adness<\/span> or impro\u00adpri\u00adety<\/span> will be most endear\u00ading<\/span> to the lat\u00adter. But not one of these grave reflec\u00adtions trou\u00adbled the tran\u00adquil\u00adli\u00adty<\/span> of Catherine.<\/p>\n

She entered the rooms on Thurs\u00adday evening with feel\u00adings very dif\u00adfer\u00adent from what had attend\u00aded<\/span> her thith\u00ader<\/span> the Mon\u00adday before. She had then been exult\u00ading<\/span> in her engage\u00adment to Thor\u00adpe, and was now chiefly anx\u00adious to avoid his sight, lest<\/span> he should engage her again; for<\/span> though she could not, dared not expect that Mr. Tilney should ask her a third time to dance, her wish\u00ades, hopes, and plans all cen\u00adtred in noth\u00ading less. Every young lady may feel for my hero\u00adine<\/span> in this crit\u00adi\u00adcal moment, for every young lady has at some time or oth\u00ader known the same agi\u00adta\u00adtion<\/span>. All have been, or at least<\/span> all have believed them\u00adselves to be, in dan\u00adger from the pur\u00adsuit of some\u00adone whom they wished to avoid; and all have been anx\u00adious for<\/span> the atten\u00adtions of some\u00adone whom they wished to please. As soon as<\/span> they were joined by the Thor\u00adpes, Catherine\u2019s agony began; she fid\u00adget\u00aded<\/span> about if John Thor\u00adpe came towards her, hid her\u00adself as much as pos\u00adsi\u00adble from his view, and when he spoke to her pre\u00adtend\u00aded not to hear him. The cotil\u00adlions<\/span> were over, the coun\u00adtry-danc\u00ading<\/span> begin\u00adning, and she saw noth\u00ading of the Tilneys.<\/p>\n

\u201cDo not be fright\u00adened, my dear Cather\u00adine,\u201d whis\u00adpered Isabel\u00adla, \u201cbut I am real\u00adly going to dance with your broth\u00ader again. I declare pos\u00adi\u00adtive\u00adly it is quite shock\u00ading. I tell him he ought to be ashamed<\/span> of him\u00adself, but you and John must keep us in coun\u00adte\u00adnance<\/span>. Make haste, my dear crea\u00adture, and come to us. John is just walked off, but he will be back in a moment<\/span>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cather\u00adine had nei\u00adther time nor incli\u00adna\u00adtion<\/span> to answer. The oth\u00aders walked away, John Thor\u00adpe was still in view, and she gave her\u00adself up for lost<\/span>. That she might not appear, how\u00adev\u00ader, to observe or expect him, she kept her eyes intent\u00adly<\/span> fixed on her fan<\/span>; and a self-con\u00addem\u00adna\u00adtion<\/span> for her fol\u00adly<\/span>, in sup\u00adpos\u00ading that among such a crowd they should even meet with the Tilneys in any rea\u00adson\u00adable time, had just passed through her mind, when she sud\u00adden\u00adly found her\u00adself addressed<\/span> and again solicit\u00aded<\/span> to dance, by Mr. Tilney him\u00adself. With what sparkling<\/span> eyes and ready motion she grant\u00aded his request, and with how pleas\u00ading a flut\u00adter of heart<\/span> she went with him to the set<\/span>, may be eas\u00adi\u00adly imag\u00adined. To escape, and, as she believed, so nar\u00adrow\u00adly escape John Thor\u00adpe, and to be asked, so imme\u00addi\u00adate\u00adly on his join\u00ading her, asked by Mr. Tilney, as if he had sought her on pur\u00adpose<\/span>!\u2014it did not appear to her that life could sup\u00adply any greater felic\u00adi\u00adty<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Scarce\u00adly<\/span> had they worked them\u00adselves into<\/span> the qui\u00adet pos\u00adses\u00adsion of a place, how\u00adev\u00ader, when her atten\u00adtion was claimed by John Thor\u00adpe, who stood behind her. \u201cHey\u00adday<\/span>, Miss Mor\u00adland!\u201d said he. \u201cWhat is the mean\u00ading of this? I thought you and I were to dance together.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI won\u00adder you should think so, for you nev\u00ader asked me.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThat is a good one, by Jove<\/span>! I asked you as soon as<\/span> I came into the room, and I was just going to ask you again, but when I turned round<\/span>, you were gone! This is a cursed<\/span> shab\u00adby<\/span> trick! I only came for the sake of<\/span> danc\u00ading with you, and I firm\u00adly believe you were engaged to me ever since<\/span> Mon\u00adday. Yes; I remem\u00adber, I asked you while you were wait\u00ading in the lob\u00adby for your cloak<\/span>. And here have I been telling all my acquain\u00adtance that I was going to dance with the pret\u00adti\u00adest girl in the room; and when they see you stand\u00ading up with some\u00adbody else, they will quiz<\/span> me famous\u00adly<\/span>.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOh, no; they will nev\u00ader think of me, after such a descrip\u00adtion as that.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBy heav\u00adens, if they do not, I will kick them out<\/span> of the room for block\u00adheads<\/span>. What chap<\/span> have you there?\u201d Cather\u00adine sat\u00adis\u00adfied his curios\u00adi\u00adty. \u201cTilney,\u201d he repeat\u00aded. \u201cHum<\/span>\u2014I do not know him. A good fig\u00adure of a man; well put togeth\u00ader. Does he want a horse? Here is a friend of mine, Sam Fletch\u00ader, has got one to sell that would suit any\u00adbody. A famous<\/span> clever ani\u00admal for the road\u2014only forty guineas<\/span>. I had fifty minds to buy it myself, for it is one of my max\u00adims<\/span> always to buy a good horse when I meet with one; but it would not answer my pur\u00adpose<\/span>, it would not do for<\/span> the field. I would give any mon\u00adey for a real good hunter<\/span>. I have three now, the best that ever were backed<\/span>. I would not take eight hun\u00addred guineas<\/span> for them. Fletch\u00ader and I mean to get a house in Leices\u00adter\u00adshire<\/span>, against<\/span> the next sea\u00adson. It is so d\u2014<\/span> uncom\u00adfort\u00adable, liv\u00ading at an inn.\u201d<\/p>\n

This was the last sen\u00adtence by which he could weary<\/span> Catherine\u2019s atten\u00adtion, for he was just then borne off<\/span> by the resist\u00adless pres\u00adsure of a long string of pass\u00ading ladies. Her part\u00adner now drew near<\/span>, and said, \u201cThat gen\u00adtle\u00adman would have put me out of patience<\/span>, had he stayed with you half a minute longer. He has no busi\u00adness to with\u00addraw the atten\u00adtion of my part\u00adner from me. We have entered into a con\u00adtract of mutu\u00adal<\/span> agree\u00adable\u00adness for the space of an evening, and all our agree\u00adable\u00adness belongs sole\u00adly<\/span> to each oth\u00ader for that time. Nobody can fas\u00adten them\u00adselves on<\/span> the notice of one, with\u00adout injur\u00ading the rights of the oth\u00ader. I con\u00adsid\u00ader a coun\u00adtry-dance<\/span> as an emblem<\/span> of mar\u00adriage. Fideli\u00adty<\/span> and com\u00adplai\u00adsance<\/span> are the prin\u00adci\u00adpal duties of both; and those men who do not choose to dance or mar\u00adry them\u00adselves, have no busi\u00adness with the part\u00adners or wives of their neighbours.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBut they are such very dif\u00adfer\u00adent things!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2014That you think they can\u00adnot be com\u00adpared together.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cTo be sure not<\/span>. Peo\u00adple that mar\u00adry can nev\u00ader part, but must go and keep house togeth\u00ader. Peo\u00adple that dance only stand oppo\u00adsite each oth\u00ader in a long room for half an hour.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd such is your def\u00adi\u00adn\u00adi\u00adtion of mat\u00adri\u00admo\u00adny<\/span> and danc\u00ading. Tak\u00aden in that light<\/span> cer\u00adtain\u00adly, their resem\u00adblance<\/span> is not strik\u00ading; but I think I could place them in such a view<\/span>. You will allow<\/span>, that in both, man has the advan\u00adtage of choice, woman only the pow\u00ader of refusal; that in both, it is an engage\u00adment between man and woman, formed for the advan\u00adtage of each; and that when once entered into, they belong exclu\u00adsive\u00adly to each oth\u00ader till the moment of its dis\u00adso\u00adlu\u00adtion<\/span>; that it is their duty, each to endeav\u00adour<\/span> to give the oth\u00ader no cause for wish\u00ading that he or she had bestowed<\/span> them\u00adselves else\u00adwhere, and their best inter\u00adest to keep their own imag\u00adi\u00adna\u00adtions from wan\u00adder\u00ading towards the per\u00adfec\u00adtions of their neigh\u00adbours, or fan\u00adcy\u00ading that they should have been bet\u00adter off with any\u00adone else. You will allow all this?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, to be sure, as you state it, all this sounds very well; but still they are so very dif\u00adfer\u00adent. I can\u00adnot look upon<\/span> them at all<\/span> in the same light, nor think the same duties belong to them.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIn one respect<\/span>, there cer\u00adtain\u00adly is a dif\u00adfer\u00adence. In mar\u00adriage, the man is sup\u00adposed to pro\u00advide for the sup\u00adport of the woman, the woman to make the home agree\u00adable to the man; he is to pur\u00advey<\/span>, and she is to smile. But in danc\u00ading, their duties are exact\u00adly changed; the agree\u00adable\u00adness, the com\u00adpli\u00adance<\/span> are expect\u00aded from him, while she fur\u00adnish\u00ades<\/span> the fan<\/span> and the laven\u00adder<\/span> water. That, I sup\u00adpose, was the dif\u00adfer\u00adence of duties which struck<\/span> you, as ren\u00adder\u00ading<\/span> the con\u00addi\u00adtions inca\u00adpable of comparison.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo, indeed, I nev\u00ader thought of that.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThen I am quite at a loss<\/span>. One thing, how\u00adev\u00ader, I must observe. This dis\u00adpo\u00adsi\u00adtion on your side is rather alarm\u00ading. You total\u00adly dis\u00adal\u00adlow<\/span> any sim\u00adi\u00adlar\u00adi\u00adty in the oblig\u00ada\u00adtions; and may I not thence<\/span> infer<\/span> that your notions<\/span> of the duties of the danc\u00ading state are not so strict as your part\u00adner might wish? Have I not rea\u00adson to fear that if the gen\u00adtle\u00adman who spoke to you just now were to return, or if any oth\u00ader gen\u00adtle\u00adman were to address<\/span> you, there would be noth\u00ading to restrain<\/span> you from con\u00advers\u00ading<\/span> with him as long as<\/span> you chose?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMr. Thor\u00adpe is such a very par\u00adtic\u00adu\u00adlar friend of my brother\u2019s, that if he talks to me, I must talk to him again; but there are hard\u00adly three young men in the room besides him that I have any acquain\u00adtance with.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd is that to be my only secu\u00adri\u00adty? Alas<\/span>, alas<\/span>!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNay<\/span>, I am sure you can\u00adnot have a bet\u00adter; for<\/span> if I do not know any\u00adbody, it is impos\u00adsi\u00adble for me to talk to them; and, besides, I do not want to talk to anybody.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNow you have giv\u00aden me a secu\u00adri\u00adty worth hav\u00ading; and I shall pro\u00adceed with courage. Do you find Bath as agree\u00adable as when I had the hon\u00adour of mak\u00ading the inquiry before?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, quite\u2014more so<\/span>, indeed.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMore so<\/span>! Take care<\/span>, or you will for\u00adget to be tired of it at the prop\u00ader time. You ought to be tired at the end of six weeks.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI do not think I should be tired, if I were to stay here six months.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBath, com\u00adpared with Lon\u00addon, has lit\u00adtle vari\u00adety, and so every\u00adbody finds out every year. \u2018For six weeks, I allow Bath is pleas\u00adant enough; but beyond that, it is the most tire\u00adsome<\/span> place in the world.\u2019 You would be told so by peo\u00adple of all descrip\u00adtions, who come reg\u00adu\u00adlar\u00adly every win\u00adter, length\u00aden<\/span> their six weeks into ten or twelve, and go away at last because they can afford to stay no longer.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWell, oth\u00ader peo\u00adple must judge for them\u00adselves, and those who go to Lon\u00addon may think noth\u00ading of Bath. But I, who live in a small retired<\/span> vil\u00adlage in the coun\u00adtry<\/span>, can nev\u00ader find greater same\u00adness in such a place as this than in my own home; for here are a vari\u00adety of amuse\u00adments, a vari\u00adety of things to be seen and done all day long, which I can know noth\u00ading of there.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou are not fond of<\/span> the coun\u00adtry<\/span>.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, I am. I have always lived there, and always been very hap\u00adpy. But cer\u00adtain\u00adly there is much more same\u00adness in a coun\u00adtry<\/span> life than in a Bath life. One day in the coun\u00adtry<\/span> is exact\u00adly like another.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBut then you spend your time so much more ratio\u00adnal\u00adly in the coun\u00adtry<\/span>.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDo I?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDo you not?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI do not believe there is much difference.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHere you are in pur\u00adsuit only of<\/span> amuse\u00adment all day long.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd so I am at home\u2014only I do not find so much of it. I walk about here, and so I do there; but here I see a vari\u00adety of peo\u00adple in every street, and there I can only go and call on Mrs. Allen<\/span>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr. Tilney was very much amused.<\/p>\n

\u201cOnly go and call on Mrs. Allen<\/span>!\u201d he repeat\u00aded. \u201cWhat a pic\u00adture of intel\u00adlec\u00adtu\u00adal pover\u00adty! How\u00adev\u00ader, when you sink<\/span> into this abyss<\/span> again, you will have more to say. You will be able to talk of Bath, and of all that you did here.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOh! Yes. I shall nev\u00ader be in want of some\u00adthing to talk of again to Mrs. Allen, or any\u00adbody else. I real\u00adly believe I shall always be talk\u00ading of Bath, when I am at home again\u2014I do like it so very much. If I could but<\/span> have Papa<\/span> and Mam\u00adma<\/span>, and the rest of them here, I sup\u00adpose I should be too hap\u00adpy! James\u2019s com\u00ading (my eldest broth\u00ader) is quite delightful\u2014and espe\u00adcial\u00adly as it turns out that the very fam\u00adi\u00adly we are just got so inti\u00admate<\/span> with are his inti\u00admate<\/span> friends already. Oh! Who can ever be tired of Bath?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNot those who bring such fresh feel\u00adings of every sort to it as you do. But papas<\/span> and mam\u00admas<\/span>, and broth\u00aders, and inti\u00admate<\/span> friends are a good deal gone by, to most of the fre\u00adquenters<\/span> of Bath\u2014and the hon\u00adest rel\u00adish<\/span> of balls<\/span> and plays, and every\u00adday sights, is past with them.\u201d Here their con\u00adver\u00adsa\u00adtion closed, the demands of the dance becom\u00ading now too impor\u00adtu\u00adnate<\/span> for a divid\u00aded attention.<\/p>\n

Soon after their reach\u00ading the bot\u00adtom of the set<\/span>, Cather\u00adine per\u00adceived<\/span> her\u00adself to be earnest\u00adly<\/span> regard\u00aded by a gen\u00adtle\u00adman who stood among the look\u00aders-on<\/span>, imme\u00addi\u00adate\u00adly behind her part\u00adner. He was a very hand\u00adsome man, of a com\u00admand\u00ading aspect, past the bloom, but not past the vigour<\/span> of life; and with his eye still direct\u00aded towards her, she saw him present\u00adly address<\/span> Mr. Tilney in a famil\u00adiar whis\u00adper. Con\u00adfused by his notice, and blush\u00ading<\/span> from the fear of its being excit\u00aded by some\u00adthing wrong in her appear\u00adance, she turned away her head. But while she did so, the gen\u00adtle\u00adman retreat\u00aded, and her part\u00adner, com\u00ading near\u00ader, said, \u201cI see that you guess what I have just been asked. That gen\u00adtle\u00adman knows your name, and you have a right to know his. It is Gen\u00ader\u00adal Tilney, my father.\u201d<\/p>\n

Catherine\u2019s answer was only \u201cOh!\u201d\u2014but it was an \u201cOh!\u201d express\u00ading every\u00adthing need\u00adful: atten\u00adtion to his words, and per\u00adfect reliance on their truth. With real inter\u00adest and strong admi\u00adra\u00adtion did her eye now fol\u00adlow the gen\u00ader\u00adal, as he moved through the crowd, and \u201cHow hand\u00adsome a fam\u00adi\u00adly they are!\u201d was her secret remark.<\/p>\n

In chat\u00adting<\/span> with Miss Tilney before the evening con\u00adclud\u00aded, a new source of felic\u00adi\u00adty<\/span> arose to her. She had nev\u00ader tak\u00aden a coun\u00adtry<\/span> walk since her arrival in Bath. Miss Tilney, to whom all the com\u00admon\u00adly fre\u00adquent\u00aded envi\u00adrons<\/span> were famil\u00adiar, spoke of them in terms<\/span> which made her all eager\u00adness to know them too; and on her open\u00adly fear\u00ading that she might find nobody to go with her, it was pro\u00adposed by the broth\u00ader and sis\u00adter that they should join in a walk, some morn\u00ading or oth\u00ader. \u201cI shall like it,\u201d she cried, \u201cbeyond any\u00adthing in the world<\/span>; and do not let us put it off<\/span>\u2014let us go tomor\u00adrow.\u201d This was read\u00adi\u00adly agreed to, with only a pro\u00advi\u00adso<\/span> of Miss Tilney\u2019s, that it did not rain, which Cather\u00adine was sure it would not. At twelve o\u2019clock, they were to call for her in Pul\u00adteney Street<\/span>; and \u201cRemember\u2014twelve o\u2019clock,\u201d was her part\u00ading speech to her new friend. Of her oth\u00ader, her old\u00ader, her more estab\u00adlished friend, Isabel\u00adla, of whose fideli\u00adty<\/span> and worth she had enjoyed a fortnight\u2019s<\/span> expe\u00adri\u00adence, she scarce\u00adly<\/span> saw any\u00adthing dur\u00ading the evening. Yet, though long\u00ading<\/span> to make her acquaint\u00aded with her hap\u00adpi\u00adness, she cheer\u00adful\u00adly sub\u00admit\u00adted to<\/span> the wish of Mr. Allen, which took them rather ear\u00adly away, and her spir\u00adits danced with\u00adin her, as she danced in her chair all the way home<\/span>.<\/p>\n

The <\/span>mor\u00adrow<\/span> brought a very sober<\/span>-look\u00ading morn\u00ading, the sun mak\u00ading only a few efforts to appear, and Cather\u00adine augured<\/span> from it every\u00adthing most favourable to her wish\u00ades. A bright morn\u00ading so ear\u00adly in the year, she allowed, would gen\u00ader\u00adal\u00adly turn to rain, but a cloudy one fore\u00adtold<\/span> improve\u00adment as the day advanced. She applied to Mr. Allen for con\u00adfir\u00adma\u00adtion of her hopes, but Mr. Allen, not hav\u00ading his own skies and barom\u00ade\u00adter<\/span> about him, declined giv\u00ading any absolute promise of sun\u00adshine. She applied to Mrs. Allen, and Mrs. Allen\u2019s opin\u00adion was more pos\u00adi\u00adtive. \u201cShe had no doubt in the world<\/span> of its being a very fine day, if the clouds would only go off<\/span>, and the sun keep out.\u201d<\/p>\n

At about eleven o\u2019clock, how\u00adev\u00ader, a few specks<\/span> of small rain upon the win\u00addows caught Catherine\u2019s watch\u00adful<\/span> eye, and \u201cOh! dear, I do believe it will be wet,\u201d broke from her in a most despond\u00ading<\/span> tone.<\/p>\n

\u201cI thought how it would be,\u201d said Mrs. Allen.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo walk for me today,\u201d sighed Cather\u00adine; \u201cbut per\u00adhaps it may come to noth\u00ading<\/span>, or it may hold up<\/span> before twelve.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cPer\u00adhaps it may, but then, my dear, it will be so dirty.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOh! That will not sig\u00adni\u00adfy<\/span>; I nev\u00ader mind dirt.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo,\u201d replied her friend very placid\u00adly<\/span>, \u201cI know you nev\u00ader mind dirt.\u201d<\/p>\n

After a short pause, \u201cIt comes on<\/span> faster and faster!\u201d said Cather\u00adine, as she stood watch\u00ading at a window.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo it does indeed. If it keeps rain\u00ading, the streets will be very wet.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are four umbrel\u00adlas up already. How I hate the sight of an umbrella!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThey are dis\u00adagree\u00adable things to car\u00adry. I would much rather take a chair at any time.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was such a nice-look\u00ading morn\u00ading! I felt so con\u00advinced it would be dry!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAny\u00adbody would have thought so indeed. There will be very few peo\u00adple in the pump-room<\/span>, if it rains all the morn\u00ading. I hope Mr. Allen will put on<\/span> his great\u00adcoat<\/span> when he goes, but I dare say he will not, for he had rather do any\u00adthing in the world<\/span> than walk out in a great\u00adcoat<\/span>; I won\u00adder he should dis\u00adlike it, it must be so comfortable.\u201d<\/p>\n

The rain continued\u2014fast, though not heavy. Cather\u00adine went every five min\u00adutes to the clock, threat\u00aden\u00ading on each return that, if it still kept on rain\u00ading anoth\u00ader five min\u00adutes, she would give up<\/span> the mat\u00adter as hope\u00adless. The clock struck twelve, and it still rained. \u201cYou will not be able to go, my dear.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI do not quite despair yet. I shall not give it up<\/span> till a quar\u00adter after twelve. This is just the time of day for it to clear up<\/span>, and I do think it looks a lit\u00adtle lighter. There, it is twen\u00adty min\u00adutes after twelve, and now I shall give it up<\/span> entire\u00adly. Oh! That we had such weath\u00ader here as they had at Udolpho<\/span>, or at least<\/span> in Tus\u00adcany<\/span> and the south of France!\u2014the night that poor St. Aubin<\/span> died!\u2014such beau\u00adti\u00adful weather!\u201d<\/p>\n

At half past twelve, when Catherine\u2019s anx\u00adious atten\u00adtion to the weath\u00ader was over and she could no longer claim any mer\u00adit from its amend\u00adment<\/span>, the sky began vol\u00adun\u00adtar\u00adi\u00adly to clear. A gleam<\/span> of sun\u00adshine took her quite by sur\u00adprise; she looked round; the clouds were part\u00ading, and she instant\u00adly returned to the win\u00addow to watch over and encour\u00adage the hap\u00adpy appear\u00adance. Ten min\u00adutes more made it cer\u00adtain that a bright after\u00adnoon would suc\u00adceed, and jus\u00adti\u00adfied<\/span> the opin\u00adion of Mrs. Allen, who had \u201calways thought it would clear up.\u201d But whether Cather\u00adine might still expect her friends, whether there had not been too much rain for Miss Tilney to ven\u00adture<\/span>, must yet be a question.<\/p>\n

It was too dirty for Mrs. Allen to accom\u00adpa\u00adny her hus\u00adband to the pump-room<\/span>; he accord\u00ading\u00adly set off<\/span> by him\u00adself, and Cather\u00adine had bare\u00adly watched him down the street when her notice was claimed by the approach of the same two open car\u00adriages<\/span>, con\u00adtain\u00ading the same three peo\u00adple that had sur\u00adprised her so much a few morn\u00adings back.<\/p>\n

\u201cIsabel\u00adla, my broth\u00ader, and Mr. Thor\u00adpe, I declare! They are com\u00ading for me perhaps\u2014but I shall not go\u2014I can\u00adnot go indeed, for you know Miss Tilney may still call.\u201d Mrs. Allen agreed to it. John Thor\u00adpe was soon with them, and his voice was with them yet soon\u00ader, for on the stairs he was call\u00ading out<\/span> to Miss Mor\u00adland to be quick. \u201cMake haste! Make haste!\u201d as he threw open the door. \u201cPut on<\/span> your hat this moment\u2014there is no time to be lost\u2014we are going to Bris\u00adtol<\/span>. How d\u2019ye do<\/span>, Mrs. Allen?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cTo Bris\u00adtol<\/span>! Is not that a great way off<\/span>? But, how\u00adev\u00ader, I can\u00adnot go with you today, because I am engaged; I expect some friends every moment.\u201d This was of course vehe\u00adment\u00adly<\/span> talked down as no rea\u00adson at all<\/span>; Mrs. Allen was called on<\/span> to sec\u00adond<\/span> him, and the two oth\u00aders walked in, to give their assis\u00adtance. \u201cMy sweet\u00adest Cather\u00adine, is not this delight\u00adful? We shall have a most heav\u00aden\u00adly dri\u00adve. You are to thank your broth\u00ader and me for the scheme; it dart\u00aded into our heads<\/span> at break\u00adfast-time, I ver\u00adi\u00adly<\/span> believe at the same instant; and we should have been off two hours ago if it had not been for this detestable<\/span> rain. But it does not sig\u00adni\u00adfy<\/span>, the nights are moon\u00adlight, and we shall do delight\u00adful\u00adly. Oh! I am in such ecstasies<\/span> at the thoughts of a lit\u00adtle coun\u00adtry<\/span> air and qui\u00adet! So much bet\u00adter than going to the Low\u00ader Rooms<\/span>. We shall dri\u00adve direct\u00adly to Clifton<\/span> and dine there; and, as soon as<\/span> din\u00adner is over, if there is time for it, go on<\/span> to Kingswe\u00adst\u00adon<\/span>.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI doubt our being able to do so much,\u201d said Morland.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou croak\u00ading<\/span> fel\u00adlow!\u201d cried Thor\u00adpe. \u201cWe shall be able to do ten times more. Kingswe\u00adst\u00adon<\/span>! Aye<\/span>, and Blaize Cas\u00adtle<\/span> too, and any\u00adthing else we can hear of; but here is your sis\u00adter says she will not go.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBlaize Cas\u00adtle<\/span>!\u201d cried Cather\u00adine. \u201cWhat is that?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe finest place in England\u2014worth going fifty miles at any time to see.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat, is it real\u00adly a cas\u00adtle, an old castle?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe old\u00adest in the kingdom.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBut is it like what one reads of?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cExactly\u2014the very same.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBut now really\u2014are there tow\u00aders and long galleries?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBy dozens<\/span>.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThen I should like to see it; but I cannot\u2014I can\u00adnot go.<\/p>\n

\u201cNot go! My beloved crea\u00adture, what do you mean\u2019?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI can\u00adnot go, because\u201d\u2014looking down as she spoke, fear\u00adful of Isabella\u2019s smile\u2014\u201cI expect Miss Tilney and her broth\u00ader to call on<\/span> me to take a coun\u00adtry<\/span> walk. They promised to come at twelve, only it rained; but now, as it is<\/span> so fine, I dare say they will be here soon.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNot they indeed,\u201d cried Thor\u00adpe; \u201cfor<\/span>, as we turned into Broad Street<\/span>, I saw them\u2014does he not dri\u00adve a phaeton<\/span> with bright chest\u00adnuts<\/span>?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI do not know indeed.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, I know he does; I saw him. You are talk\u00ading of the man you danced with last night, are not you?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYes.<\/p>\n

\u201cWell, I saw him at that moment turn up the Lans\u00addown Road<\/span>, dri\u00adving a smart-look\u00ading girl.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDid you indeed?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDid upon my soul<\/span>; knew him again direct\u00adly, and he seemed to have got some very pret\u00adty cat\u00adtle<\/span> too.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is very odd! But I sup\u00adpose they thought it would be too dirty for a walk.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd well they might, for I nev\u00ader saw so much dirt in my life. Walk! You could no more walk than you could fly! It has not been so dirty the whole win\u00adter; it is ankle-deep everywhere.\u201d<\/p>\n

Isabel\u00adla cor\u00adrob\u00ado\u00adrat\u00aded<\/span> it: \u201cMy dear\u00adest Cather\u00adine, you can\u00adnot form an idea of the dirt; come, you must go; you can\u00adnot refuse going now.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI should like to see the cas\u00adtle; but may we go all over it? May we go up every stair\u00adcase, and into every suite of rooms?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, yes, every hole and corner.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBut then, if they should only be gone out for an hour till it is dry\u00ader, and call by and by<\/span>?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMake your\u00adself easy, there is no dan\u00adger of that, for I heard Tilney hal\u00adloo\u00ading<\/span> to a man who was just pass\u00ading by on horse\u00adback, that they were going as far as Wick Rocks<\/span>.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThen I will. Shall I go, Mrs. Allen?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cJust as you please, my dear.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMrs. Allen, you must per\u00adsuade her to go,\u201d was the gen\u00ader\u00adal cry. Mrs. Allen was not inat\u00adten\u00adtive to it: \u201cWell, my dear,\u201d said she, \u201csup\u00adpose you go.\u201d And in two min\u00adutes they were off.<\/p>\n

Catherine\u2019s feel\u00adings, as she got into<\/span> the car\u00adriage<\/span>, were in a very unset\u00adtled state; divid\u00aded between regret for the loss of one great plea\u00adsure, and the hope of soon enjoy\u00ading anoth\u00ader, almost its equal in degree, how\u00adev\u00ader unlike in kind. She could not think the Tilneys had act\u00aded quite well by her, in so read\u00adi\u00adly giv\u00ading up their engage\u00adment, with\u00adout send\u00ading her any mes\u00adsage of excuse. It was now but an hour lat\u00ader than the time fixed on for the begin\u00adning of their walk; and, in spite of<\/span> what she had heard of the prodi\u00adgious<\/span> accu\u00admu\u00adla\u00adtion of dirt in the course of<\/span> that hour, she could not from her own obser\u00adva\u00adtion help think\u00ading that they might have gone with very lit\u00adtle incon\u00adve\u00adnience. To feel her\u00adself slight\u00aded<\/span> by them was very painful. On the oth\u00ader hand, the delight of explor\u00ading an edi\u00adfice<\/span> like Udolpho<\/span>, as her fan\u00adcy<\/span> rep\u00adre\u00adsent\u00aded Blaize Cas\u00adtle<\/span> to be, was such a coun\u00adter\u00adpoise<\/span> of good as might con\u00adsole<\/span> her for almost anything.<\/p>\n

They passed briskly<\/span> down Pul\u00adteney Street<\/span>, and through Lau\u00adra Place<\/span>, with\u00adout the exchange of many words. Thor\u00adpe talked to his horse, and she med\u00adi\u00adtat\u00aded, by turns<\/span>, on bro\u00adken promis\u00ades and bro\u00adken arch\u00ades, phaetons<\/span> and false hang\u00adings<\/span>, Tilneys and trap-doors<\/span>. As they entered Argyle Build\u00adings<\/span>, how\u00adev\u00ader, she was roused<\/span> by this address<\/span> from her com\u00adpan\u00adion, \u201cWho is that girl who looked at you so hard as she went by?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWho? Where?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOn the right-hand pave\u00adment<\/span>\u2014she must be almost out of sight<\/span> now.\u201d Cather\u00adine looked round and saw Miss Tilney lean\u00ading on her brother\u2019s arm, walk\u00ading slow\u00adly down the street. She saw them both look\u00ading back at her. \u201cStop, stop, Mr. Thor\u00adpe,\u201d she impa\u00adtient\u00adly cried; \u201cit is Miss Tilney; it is indeed. How could you tell me they were gone? Stop, stop, I will get out this moment and go to them.\u201d But to what pur\u00adpose did she speak? Thor\u00adpe only lashed<\/span> his horse into a brisker<\/span> trot<\/span>; the Tilneys, who had soon ceased to look after her, were in a moment<\/span> out of sight round the cor\u00adner of Lau\u00adra Place<\/span>, and in anoth\u00ader moment she was her\u00adself whisked<\/span> into the mar\u00adket\u00adplace. Still, how\u00adev\u00ader, and dur\u00ading the length of anoth\u00ader street, she entreat\u00aded<\/span> him to stop. \u201cPray<\/span>, pray<\/span> stop, Mr. Thor\u00adpe. I can\u00adnot go on<\/span>. I will not go on<\/span>. I must go back to Miss Tilney.\u201d But Mr. Thor\u00adpe only laughed, smacked<\/span> his whip<\/span>, encour\u00adaged his horse, made odd nois\u00ades, and drove on; and Cather\u00adine, angry and vexed<\/span> as she was, hav\u00ading no pow\u00ader of get\u00adting away, was oblig\u00aded to give up<\/span> the point and sub\u00admit. Her reproach\u00ades<\/span>, how\u00adev\u00ader, were not spared. \u201cHow could you deceive<\/span> me so, Mr. Thor\u00adpe? How could you say that you saw them dri\u00adving up the Lans\u00addown Road<\/span>? I would not have had it hap\u00adpen so for the world<\/span>. They must think it so strange, so rude<\/span> of me! To go by them, too, with\u00adout say\u00ading a word! You do not know how vexed<\/span> I am; I shall have no plea\u00adsure at Clifton<\/span>, nor in any\u00adthing else. I had rather, ten thou\u00adsand times rather, get out now, and walk back to them. How could you say you saw them dri\u00adving out in a phaeton<\/span>?\u201d Thor\u00adpe defend\u00aded him\u00adself very stout\u00adly<\/span>, declared he had nev\u00ader seen two men so much alike in his life, and would hard\u00adly give up<\/span> the point of its hav\u00ading been Tilney himself.<\/p>\n

Their dri\u00adve, even when this sub\u00adject was over, was not like\u00adly to be very agree\u00adable. Catherine\u2019s com\u00adplai\u00adsance<\/span> was no longer what it had been in their for\u00admer air\u00ading<\/span>. She lis\u00adtened reluc\u00adtant\u00adly<\/span>, and her replies were short. Blaize Cas\u00adtle<\/span> remained her only com\u00adfort; towards that<\/span>, she still looked at inter\u00advals with plea\u00adsure; though rather than be dis\u00adap\u00adpoint\u00aded of the promised walk, and espe\u00adcial\u00adly rather than be thought ill of<\/span> by the Tilneys, she would will\u00ading\u00adly have giv\u00aden up<\/span> all the hap\u00adpi\u00adness which its walls could supply\u2014the hap\u00adpi\u00adness of a progress through a long suite of lofty rooms<\/span>, exhibit\u00ading the remains of mag\u00adnif\u00adi\u00adcent fur\u00adni\u00adture, though now for many years deserted\u2014the hap\u00adpi\u00adness of being stopped in their way along nar\u00adrow, wind\u00ading vaults<\/span>, by a low, grat\u00aded<\/span> door; or even of hav\u00ading their lamp, their only lamp, extin\u00adguished<\/span> by a sud\u00adden gust<\/span> of wind, and of being left in total dark\u00adness. In the mean\u00adwhile, they pro\u00adceed\u00aded on their jour\u00adney with\u00adout any mis\u00adchance<\/span>, and were with\u00adin view of the town of Keyn\u00adsham<\/span>, when a hal\u00adloo<\/span> from Mor\u00adland, who was behind them, made his friend pull up<\/span>, to know what was the mat\u00adter. The oth\u00aders then came close enough for con\u00adver\u00adsa\u00adtion, and Mor\u00adland said, \u201cWe had bet\u00adter<\/span> go back, Thor\u00adpe; it is too late to go on<\/span> today; your sis\u00adter thinks so as well as I<\/span>. We have been exact\u00adly an hour com\u00ading from Pul\u00adteney Street<\/span>, very lit\u00adtle more than sev\u00aden miles; and, I sup\u00adpose, we have at least<\/span> eight more to go. It will nev\u00ader do. We set out<\/span> a great deal<\/span> too late. We had much bet\u00adter<\/span> put it off<\/span> till anoth\u00ader day, and turn round<\/span>.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is all one to me<\/span>,\u201d replied Thor\u00adpe rather angri\u00adly; and instant\u00adly turn\u00ading his horse, they were on their way back to Bath.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf your broth\u00ader had not got such a d\u2014<\/span> beast to dri\u00adve,\u201d said he soon after\u00adwards, \u201cwe might have done it very well. My horse would have trot\u00adted<\/span> to Clifton<\/span> with\u00adin the hour, if left to him\u00adself, and I have almost broke my arm with pulling him in to that cursed<\/span> bro\u00adken-wind\u00aded<\/span> jade\u2019s<\/span> pace. Mor\u00adland is a fool for not keep\u00ading a horse and gig<\/span> of his own.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo, he is not,\u201d said Cather\u00adine warm\u00adly, \u201cfor I am sure he could not afford it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd why can\u00adnot he afford it?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause he has not mon\u00adey enough.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd whose fault is that?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNobody\u2019s, that I know of.\u201d Thor\u00adpe then said some\u00adthing in the loud, inco\u00adher\u00adent<\/span> way to which he had often recourse<\/span>, about its being a d\u2014<\/span>^121 thing to be miser\u00adly<\/span>; and that if peo\u00adple who rolled in mon\u00adey could not afford things, he did not know who could, which Cather\u00adine did not even endeav\u00adour<\/span> to under\u00adstand. Dis\u00adap\u00adpoint\u00aded of what was to have been the con\u00adso\u00adla\u00adtion<\/span> for her first dis\u00adap\u00adpoint\u00adment, she was less and less dis\u00adposed<\/span> either to be agree\u00adable her\u00adself or to find her com\u00adpan\u00adion so; and they returned to Pul\u00adteney Street<\/span> with\u00adout her speak\u00ading twen\u00adty words.<\/p>\n

As she entered the house, the foot\u00adman<\/span> told her that a gen\u00adtle\u00adman and lady had called and inquired for her a few min\u00adutes after her set\u00adting off<\/span>; that, when he told them she was gone out with Mr. Thor\u00adpe, the lady had asked whether any mes\u00adsage had been left for her; and on his say\u00ading no, had felt for<\/span> a card, but said she had none about her, and went away. Pon\u00adder\u00ading<\/span> over these heart-rend\u00ading<\/span> tid\u00adings<\/span>, Cather\u00adine walked slow\u00adly upstairs. At the head of<\/span> them she was met by Mr. Allen, who, on hear\u00ading the rea\u00adson of their speedy return, said, \u201cI am glad your broth\u00ader had so much sense; I am glad you are come back. It was a strange, wild scheme.\u201d<\/p>\n

They all spent the evening togeth\u00ader at Thorpe\u2019s. Cather\u00adine was dis\u00adturbed and out of spir\u00adits<\/span>; but Isabel\u00adla seemed to find a pool<\/span> of com\u00admerce<\/span>, in the fate of which she shared, by pri\u00advate part\u00adner\u00adship with Mor\u00adland, a very good equiv\u00ada\u00adlent for the qui\u00adet and coun\u00adtry<\/span> air of an inn at Clifton<\/span>. Her sat\u00adis\u00adfac\u00adtion, too, in not being at the Low\u00ader Rooms<\/span> was spo\u00adken more than once. \u201cHow I pity the poor crea\u00adtures that are going there! How glad I am that I am not amongst them! I won\u00adder whether it will be a full ball<\/span> or not! They have not begun danc\u00ading yet. I would not be there for all the world<\/span>. It is so delight\u00adful to have an evening now and then<\/span> to one\u00adself<\/span>. I dare say it will not be a very good ball<\/span>. I know the Mitchells will not be there. I am sure I pity every\u00adbody that is. But I dare say, Mr. Mor\u00adland, you long<\/span> to be at it, do not you? I am sure you do. Well, pray<\/span> do not let any\u00adbody here be a restraint<\/span> on you. I dare say we could do very well with\u00adout you; but you men think your\u00adselves of such con\u00adse\u00adquence<\/span>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cather\u00adine could almost have accused Isabel\u00adla of being want\u00adi\u00adng in ten\u00adder\u00adness towards her\u00adself and her sor\u00adrows, so very lit\u00adtle did they appear to dwell on her mind<\/span>, and so very inad\u00ade\u00adquate was the com\u00adfort she offered. \u201cDo not be so dull<\/span>, my dear\u00adest crea\u00adture,\u201d she whis\u00adpered. \u201cYou will quite break my heart<\/span>. It was amaz\u00ading\u00adly shock\u00ading, to be sure; but the Tilneys were entire\u00adly to blame<\/span>. Why were not they more punc\u00adtu\u00adal<\/span>? It was dirty, indeed, but what did that sig\u00adni\u00adfy<\/span>? I am sure John and I should not have mind\u00aded it. I nev\u00ader mind going through any\u00adthing, where a friend is con\u00adcerned; that is my dis\u00adpo\u00adsi\u00adtion, and John is just the same; he has amaz\u00ading strong feel\u00adings. Good heav\u00adens!<\/span> What a delight\u00adful hand<\/span> you have got! Kings<\/span>, I vow<\/span>! I nev\u00ader was so hap\u00adpy in my life! I would fifty times rather you should have them than myself.\u201d<\/p>\n

And now I may dis\u00admiss my hero\u00adine to the sleep\u00adless couch, which is the true heroine\u2019s por\u00adtion; to a pil\u00adlow strewed<\/span> with thorns<\/span> and wet with tears. And lucky may she think her\u00adself, if she get anoth\u00ader good night\u2019s rest in the course of<\/span> the next three months.<\/p>\n

\u201cMrs. Allen<\/span>,\u201d said Cather\u00adine the next morn\u00ading, \u201cwill there be any harm in my call\u00ading on<\/span> Miss Tilney today? I shall not be easy till I have explained everything.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cGo, by all means<\/span>, my dear; only put on<\/span> a white gown<\/span>; Miss Tilney always wears white.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cather\u00adine cheer\u00adful\u00adly com\u00adplied<\/span>, and being prop\u00ader\u00adly equipped, was more impa\u00adtient than ever to be at the pump-room<\/span>, that she might inform her\u00adself of Gen\u00ader\u00adal Tilneys lodg\u00adings<\/span>, for though she believed they were in Mil\u00adsom Street<\/span>, she was not cer\u00adtain of the house, and Mrs. Allen\u2019s waver\u00ading<\/span> con\u00advic\u00adtions<\/span> only made it more doubt\u00adful. To Mil\u00adsom Street<\/span> she was direct\u00aded, and hav\u00ading made her\u00adself per\u00adfect in the num\u00adber, has\u00adtened<\/span> away with eager steps and a beat\u00ading heart to pay her vis\u00adit<\/span>, explain her con\u00adduct, and be for\u00adgiv\u00aden; trip\u00adping light\u00adly through the church-yard, and res\u00adolute\u00adly turn\u00ading away her eyes, that she might not be oblig\u00aded to see her beloved Isabel\u00adla and her dear fam\u00adi\u00adly, who, she had rea\u00adson to believe, were in a shop hard by<\/span>. She reached the house with\u00adout any imped\u00adi\u00adment<\/span>, looked at the num\u00adber, knocked at the door, and inquired for Miss Tilney. The man believed Miss Tilney to be at home<\/span>, but was not quite cer\u00adtain. Would she be pleased to send up her name? She gave her card. In a few min\u00adutes the ser\u00advant returned, and with a look which did not quite con\u00adfirm his words, said he had been mis\u00adtak\u00aden, for that Miss Tilney was walked out. Cather\u00adine, with a blush<\/span> of mor\u00adti\u00adfi\u00adca\u00adtion<\/span>, left the house. She felt almost per\u00adsuad\u00aded that Miss Tilney was at home, and too much offend\u00aded to admit her; and as she retired down the street, could not with\u00adhold<\/span> one glance at the draw\u00ading-room win\u00addows, in expec\u00adta\u00adtion of see\u00ading her there, but no one appeared at them. At the bot\u00adtom of the street, how\u00adev\u00ader, she looked back again, and then, not at a win\u00addow, but issu\u00ading<\/span> from the door, she saw Miss Tilney her\u00adself. She was fol\u00adlowed by a gen\u00adtle\u00adman, whom Cather\u00adine believed to be her father, and they turned up towards Edgar\u2019s Build\u00adings<\/span>. Cather\u00adine, in deep mor\u00adti\u00adfi\u00adca\u00adtion<\/span>, pro\u00adceed\u00aded on her way. She could almost be angry her\u00adself at such angry inci\u00advil\u00adi\u00adty<\/span>; but she checked<\/span> the resent\u00adful<\/span> sen\u00adsa\u00adtion; she remem\u00adbered her own igno\u00adrance. She knew not how such an offence as hers might be classed by the laws of world\u00adly<\/span> polite\u00adness<\/span>, to what a degree of unfor\u00adgiv\u00ading\u00adness it might with pro\u00adpri\u00adety<\/span> lead, nor to what rigours<\/span> of rude\u00adness<\/span> in return it might just\u00adly<\/span> make her amenable<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Deject\u00aded<\/span> and hum\u00adbled<\/span>, she had even some thoughts of not going with the oth\u00aders to the the\u00adatre that night; but it must be con\u00adfessed<\/span> that they were not of long con\u00adtin\u00adu\u00adance, for<\/span> she soon rec\u00adol\u00adlect\u00aded<\/span>, in the first place, that she was with\u00adout any excuse for stay\u00ading at home; and, in the sec\u00adond, that it was a play she want\u00aded very much to see. To the the\u00adatre accord\u00ading\u00adly they all went; no Tilneys appeared to plague<\/span> or please her; she feared that, amongst the many per\u00adfec\u00adtions of the fam\u00adi\u00adly, a fond\u00adness<\/span> for plays was not to be ranked<\/span>; but per\u00adhaps it was because they were habit\u00adu\u00adat\u00aded<\/span> to the fin\u00ader per\u00adfor\u00admances of the Lon\u00addon stage, which she knew, on Isabella\u2019s author\u00adi\u00adty, ren\u00addered<\/span> every\u00adthing else of the kind<\/span> \u201cquite hor\u00adrid<\/span>.\u201d She was not deceived<\/span> in her own expec\u00adta\u00adtion of plea\u00adsure; the com\u00ade\u00addy so well sus\u00adpend\u00aded<\/span> her care that no one, observ\u00ading her dur\u00ading the first four acts, would have sup\u00adposed she had any wretched\u00adness<\/span> about her. On the begin\u00adning of the fifth, how\u00adev\u00ader, the sud\u00adden view of Mr. Hen\u00adry Tilney and his father, join\u00ading a par\u00adty in the oppo\u00adsite box<\/span>, recalled<\/span> her to anx\u00adi\u00adety and dis\u00adtress<\/span>. The stage could no longer excite gen\u00aduine mer\u00adri\u00adment<\/span>\u2014no longer keep her whole atten\u00adtion. Every oth\u00ader look upon<\/span> an aver\u00adage was direct\u00aded towards the oppo\u00adsite box<\/span>; and, for the space of two entire scenes, did she thus watch Hen\u00adry Tilney, with\u00adout being once able to catch his eye<\/span>. No longer could he be sus\u00adpect\u00aded of indif\u00adfer\u00adence for a play; his notice was nev\u00ader with\u00addrawn from the stage dur\u00ading two whole scenes. At length<\/span>, how\u00adev\u00ader, he did look towards her, and he bowed\u2014but such a bow! No smile, no con\u00adtin\u00adued obser\u00advance<\/span> attend\u00aded<\/span> it; his eyes were imme\u00addi\u00adate\u00adly returned to their for\u00admer direc\u00adtion. Cather\u00adine was rest\u00adless\u00adly mis\u00ader\u00adable; she could almost have run round to the box<\/span> in which he sat and forced him to hear her expla\u00adna\u00adtion. Feel\u00adings rather nat\u00adur\u00adal than hero\u00adic pos\u00adsessed her; instead of con\u00adsid\u00ader\u00ading her own dig\u00adni\u00adty injured by this ready con\u00addem\u00adna\u00adtion<\/span>\u2014instead of proud\u00adly resolv\u00ading<\/span>, in con\u00adscious inno\u00adcence, to show her resent\u00adment<\/span> towards him who could har\u00adbour<\/span> a doubt of it, to leave to him all the trou\u00adble of seek\u00ading an expla\u00adna\u00adtion, and to enlight\u00aden him on<\/span> the past only by avoid\u00ading his sight, or flirt\u00ading<\/span> with some\u00adbody else\u2014she took to her\u00adself all the shame of mis\u00adcon\u00adduct<\/span>, or at least<\/span> of its appear\u00adance, and was only eager for an oppor\u00adtu\u00adni\u00adty of explain\u00ading its cause.<\/p>\n

The play concluded\u2014the cur\u00adtain fell\u2014Henry Tilney was no longer to be seen where he had hith\u00ader\u00adto<\/span> sat, but his father remained, and per\u00adhaps he might be now com\u00ading round to their box<\/span>. She was right; in a few min\u00adutes he appeared, and, mak\u00ading his way through<\/span> the then thin\u00adning rows, spoke with like calm polite\u00adness<\/span> to Mrs. Allen and her friend. Not with such calm\u00adness was he answered by the lat\u00adter: \u201cOh! Mr. Tilney, I have been quite wild to speak to you, and make my apolo\u00adgies. You must have thought me so rude<\/span>; but indeed it was not my own fault, was it, Mrs. Allen? Did not they tell me that Mr. Tilney and his sis\u00adter were gone out in a phaeton<\/span> togeth\u00ader? And then what could I do? But I had ten thou\u00adsand times rather<\/span> have been with you; now<\/span> had not I, Mrs. Allen?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMy dear, you tum\u00adble<\/span> my gown<\/span>,\u201d was Mrs. Allen\u2019s reply.<\/p>\n

Her assur\u00adance, how\u00adev\u00ader, stand\u00ading sole as it did, was not thrown away<\/span>; it brought a more cor\u00addial<\/span>, more nat\u00adur\u00adal smile into his coun\u00adte\u00adnance<\/span>, and he replied in a tone which retained only a lit\u00adtle affect\u00aded reserve: \u201cWe were much oblig\u00aded to you at any rate<\/span> for wish\u00ading us a pleas\u00adant walk after our pass\u00ading you in Argyle Street<\/span>^: you were so kind as to look back on pur\u00adpose<\/span>.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBut indeed I did not wish you a pleas\u00adant walk; I nev\u00ader thought of such a thing; but I begged Mr. Thor\u00adpe so earnest\u00adly<\/span> to stop; I called out<\/span> to him as soon as<\/span> ever I saw you; now, Mrs. Allen, did not\u2014Oh! You were not there; but indeed I did; and, if Mr. Thor\u00adpe would only have stopped, I would have jumped out and run after you.\u201d<\/p>\n

Is there a Hen\u00adry in the world who could be insen\u00adsi\u00adble to such a dec\u00adla\u00adra\u00adtion? Hen\u00adry Tilney at least<\/span> was not. With a yet sweet\u00ader smile, he said every\u00adthing that need be said of his sister\u2019s con\u00adcern, regret, and depen\u00addence<\/span> on Catherine\u2019s hon\u00adour<\/span>. \u201cOh! Do not say Miss Tilney was not angry,\u201d cried Cather\u00adine, \u201cbecause I know she was; for<\/span> she would not see me this morn\u00ading when I called; I saw her walk out of the house the next minute after my leav\u00ading it; I was hurt, but I was not affront\u00aded<\/span>. Per\u00adhaps you did not know I had been there.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI was not with\u00adin at the time; but I heard of it from Eleanor, and she has been wish\u00ading ever since<\/span> to see you, to explain the rea\u00adson of such inci\u00advil\u00adi\u00adty<\/span>; but per\u00adhaps I can do it as well. It was noth\u00ading more than that my father\u2014they were just prepar\u00ading to walk out, and he being hur\u00adried for time, and not car\u00ading to have it put off<\/span>\u2014made a point of her being denied<\/span>. That was all, I do assure you. She was very much vexed<\/span>, and meant to make her apol\u00ado\u00adgy as soon as<\/span> possible.\u201d<\/p>\n

Catherine\u2019s mind was great\u00adly eased by this infor\u00adma\u00adtion, yet a some\u00adthing of solic\u00adi\u00adtude<\/span> remained, from which sprang<\/span> the fol\u00adlow\u00ading ques\u00adtion, thor\u00adough\u00adly art\u00adless in itself, though rather dis\u00adtress\u00ading<\/span> to the gen\u00adtle\u00adman: \u201cBut, Mr. Tilney, why were you less gen\u00ader\u00adous than your sis\u00adter? If she felt such con\u00adfi\u00addence in my good inten\u00adtions, and could sup\u00adpose it to be only a mis\u00adtake, why should you be so ready to take offence?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMe! I take offence!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNay<\/span>, I am sure by your look, when you came into the box<\/span>, you were angry.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI angry! I could have no right.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWell, nobody would have thought you had no right who saw your face.\u201d He replied by ask\u00ading her to make room<\/span> for him, and talk\u00ading of the play.<\/p>\n

He remained with them some time, and was only too agree\u00adable for Cather\u00adine to be con\u00adtent\u00aded when he went away. Before they part\u00aded, how\u00adev\u00ader, it was agreed that the pro\u00adject\u00aded walk should be tak\u00aden as soon as<\/span> pos\u00adsi\u00adble; and, set\u00adting aside the mis\u00adery of his quit\u00adting<\/span> their box<\/span>, she was, upon the whole, left one of the hap\u00adpi\u00adest crea\u00adtures in the world.<\/p>\n

While talk\u00ading to each oth\u00ader, she had observed with some sur\u00adprise that John Thor\u00adpe, who was nev\u00ader in the same part of the house for ten min\u00adutes togeth\u00ader, was engaged in con\u00adver\u00adsa\u00adtion with Gen\u00ader\u00adal Tilney; and she felt some\u00adthing more than sur\u00adprise when she thought she could per\u00adceive<\/span> her\u00adself the object of their atten\u00adtion and dis\u00adcourse<\/span>. What could they have to say of her? She feared Gen\u00ader\u00adal Tilney did not like her appear\u00adance: she found it was implied in his pre\u00advent\u00ading her admit\u00adtance to his daugh\u00adter, rather than post\u00adpone<\/span> his own walk a few min\u00adutes. \u201cHow came Mr. Thor\u00adpe to know your father?\u201d was her anx\u00adious inquiry, as she point\u00aded them out<\/span> to her com\u00adpan\u00adion. He knew noth\u00ading about it; but his father, like every mil\u00adi\u00adtary man, had a very large acquaintance.<\/p>\n

When the enter\u00adtain\u00adment was over, Thor\u00adpe came to assist them in get\u00adting out. Cather\u00adine was the imme\u00addi\u00adate object of his gal\u00adlantry<\/span>; and, while they wait\u00aded in the lob\u00adby for a chair, he pre\u00advent\u00aded the inquiry which had trav\u00adelled from her heart almost to the tip<\/span> of her tongue, by ask\u00ading, in a con\u00adse\u00adquen\u00adtial<\/span> man\u00adner, whether she had seen him talk\u00ading with Gen\u00ader\u00adal Tilney: \u201cHe is a fine old fel\u00adlow, upon my soul<\/span>! Stout<\/span>, active\u2014looks as young as his son. I have a great regard for<\/span> him, I assure you: a gen\u00adtle\u00adman-like, good sort of fel\u00adlow as ever lived.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBut how came you to know him<\/span>?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cKnow him! There are few peo\u00adple much about town that I do not know. I have met him for\u00adev\u00ader at the Bed\u00adford<\/span>; and I knew his face again today the moment he came into the bil\u00adliard<\/span>-room. One of the best play\u00aders we have, by the by<\/span>; and we had a lit\u00adtle touch togeth\u00ader<\/span>, though I was almost afraid of him at first: the odds<\/span> were five to four against me; and, if I had not made one of the clean\u00adest strokes<\/span> that per\u00adhaps ever was made in this world\u2014I took his ball exactly\u2014but I could not make you under\u00adstand it with\u00adout a table; how\u00adev\u00ader, I did beat him. A very fine fel\u00adlow; as rich as a Jew. I should like to dine with him; I dare say he gives famous<\/span> din\u00adners. But what do you think we have been talk\u00ading of? You. Yes, by heav\u00adens! And the gen\u00ader\u00adal thinks you the finest girl in Bath.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOh! Non\u00adsense! How can you say so?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd what do you think I said?\u201d\u2014lowering his voice\u2014\u201cwell done, gen\u00ader\u00adal, said I; I am quite of your mind<\/span>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Here Cather\u00adine, who was much less grat\u00adi\u00adfied<\/span> by his admi\u00adra\u00adtion than by Gen\u00ader\u00adal Tilney\u2019s, was not sor\u00adry to be called away by Mr. Allen. Thor\u00adpe, how\u00adev\u00ader, would see her to her chair, and, till she entered it, con\u00adtin\u00adued the same kind of del\u00adi\u00adcate flat\u00adtery<\/span>, in spite of<\/span> her entreat\u00ading<\/span> him to have done.<\/p>\n

That Gen\u00ader\u00adal Tilney, instead of dis\u00adlik\u00ading, should admire her, was very delight\u00adful; and she joy\u00adful\u00adly thought that there was not one of the fam\u00adi\u00adly whom she need now fear to meet. The evening had done more, much more, for her than could have been expected.<\/p>\n

Mon\u00adday, <\/span>Tues\u00adday, Wednes\u00adday, <\/span>Thurs\u00adday, Fri\u00adday, and Sat\u00adur\u00adday<\/span> have now passed in review before the read\u00ader; the events of each day, its hopes and fears, mor\u00adti\u00adfi\u00adca\u00adtions<\/span> and plea\u00adsures, have been sep\u00ada\u00adrate\u00adly stat\u00aded, and the pangs<\/span> of Sun\u00adday only now remain to be described, and close the week. The Clifton<\/span> scheme had been deferred<\/span>, not relin\u00adquished<\/span>, and on the afternoon\u2019s cres\u00adcent<\/span> of this day, it was brought for\u00adward again. In a pri\u00advate con\u00adsul\u00adta\u00adtion between Isabel\u00adla and James, the for\u00admer of whom had par\u00adtic\u00adu\u00adlar\u00adly set her heart upon going<\/span>, and the lat\u00adter no less anx\u00adious\u00adly<\/span> placed his upon pleas\u00ading her, it was agreed that, pro\u00advid\u00aded<\/span> the weath\u00ader were fair, the par\u00adty should take place<\/span> on the fol\u00adlow\u00ading morn\u00ading; and they were to set off<\/span> very ear\u00adly, in order to be at home in good time<\/span>. The affair thus deter\u00admined, and Thorpe\u2019s appro\u00adba\u00adtion<\/span> secured, Cather\u00adine only remained to be apprised<\/span> of it. She had left them for a few min\u00adutes to speak to Miss Tilney. In that inter\u00adval the plan was com\u00adplet\u00aded, and as soon as<\/span> she came again, her agree\u00adment was demand\u00aded; but instead of the gay acqui\u00ades\u00adcence<\/span> expect\u00aded by Isabel\u00adla, Cather\u00adine looked grave<\/span>, was very sor\u00adry, but could not go. The engage\u00adment which ought to have kept her from join\u00ading<\/span> in the for\u00admer attempt would make it impos\u00adsi\u00adble for her to accom\u00adpa\u00adny them now. She had that moment set\u00adtled with Miss Tilney to take their pro\u00adposed walk tomor\u00adrow; it was quite deter\u00admined, and she would not, upon any account<\/span>, retract<\/span>. But that she must and should retract<\/span> was instant\u00adly the eager cry of both the Thor\u00adpes; they must go to Clifton<\/span> tomor\u00adrow, they would not go with\u00adout her, it would be noth\u00ading to put off<\/span> a mere walk for one day longer, and they would not hear of a refusal<\/span>. Cather\u00adine was dis\u00adtressed<\/span>, but not sub\u00addued<\/span>. \u201cDo not urge me, Isabel\u00adla. I am engaged to Miss Tilney. I can\u00adnot go.\u201d This availed<\/span> noth\u00ading. The same argu\u00adments assailed<\/span> her again; she must go, she should go, and they would not hear of a refusal<\/span>. \u201cIt would be so easy to tell Miss Tilney that you had just been remind\u00aded of a pri\u00ador engage\u00adment, and must only beg to put off<\/span> the walk till Tuesday.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo, it would not be easy. I could not do it. There has been no pri\u00ador engage\u00adment.\u201d But Isabel\u00adla became only more and more urgent, call\u00ading on her<\/span> in the most affec\u00adtion\u00adate<\/span> man\u00adner, address\u00ading her by the most endear\u00ading<\/span> names. She was sure her dear\u00adest, sweet\u00adest Cather\u00adine would not seri\u00adous\u00adly refuse such a tri\u00adfling<\/span> request to a friend who loved her so dear\u00adly. She knew her beloved Cather\u00adine to have so feel\u00ading<\/span> a heart, so sweet a tem\u00adper<\/span>, to be so eas\u00adi\u00adly per\u00adsuad\u00aded by those she loved. But all in vain<\/span>; Cather\u00adine felt her\u00adself to be in the right<\/span>, and though pained by such ten\u00adder, such flat\u00adter\u00ading<\/span> sup\u00adpli\u00adca\u00adtion<\/span>, could not allow it to influ\u00adence her. Isabel\u00adla then tried anoth\u00ader method. She reproached<\/span> her with hav\u00ading more affec\u00adtion for Miss Tilney, though she had known her so lit\u00adtle a while<\/span>, than for her best and old\u00adest friends, with being grown cold<\/span> and indif\u00adfer\u00adent, in short<\/span>, towards her\u00adself. \u201cI can\u00adnot help being jeal\u00adous<\/span>, Cather\u00adine, when I see myself slight\u00aded<\/span> for strangers, I, who love you so exces\u00adsive\u00adly! When once my affec\u00adtions are placed, it is not in the pow\u00ader of any\u00adthing<\/span> to change them. But I believe my feel\u00adings are stronger than anybody\u2019s; I am sure they are too strong for my own peace; and to see myself sup\u00adplant\u00aded<\/span> in your friend\u00adship by strangers does cut me to the quick<\/span>, I own. These Tilneys seem to swal\u00adlow up every\u00adthing else.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cather\u00adine thought this reproach<\/span> equal\u00adly strange and unkind. Was it the part of a friend thus to expose her feel\u00adings to the notice of oth\u00aders? Isabel\u00adla appeared to her ungen\u00ader\u00adous and self\u00adish, regard\u00adless of every\u00adthing but her own grat\u00adi\u00adfi\u00adca\u00adtion<\/span>. These painful ideas crossed her mind<\/span>, though she said noth\u00ading. Isabel\u00adla, in the mean\u00adwhile, had applied her hand\u00adker\u00adchief<\/span> to her eyes; and Mor\u00adland, mis\u00ader\u00adable at such a sight, could not help say\u00ading, \u201cNay<\/span>, Cather\u00adine. I think you can\u00adnot stand out<\/span> any longer now. The sac\u00adri\u00adfice<\/span> is not much; and to oblige<\/span> such a friend\u2014I shall think you quite unkind, if you still refuse.\u201d<\/p>\n

This was the first time of her brother\u2019s open\u00adly sid\u00ading against her<\/span>, and anx\u00adious to avoid his dis\u00adplea\u00adsure, she pro\u00adposed a com\u00adpro\u00admise. If they would only put off<\/span> their scheme till Tues\u00adday, which they might eas\u00adi\u00adly do, as it depend\u00aded only on them\u00adselves, she could go with them, and every\u00adbody might then be sat\u00adis\u00adfied. But \u201cNo, no, no!\u201d was the imme\u00addi\u00adate answer; \u201cthat could not be, for Thor\u00adpe did not know that he might not go to town on Tues\u00adday.\u201d Cather\u00adine was sor\u00adry, but could do no more; and a short silence ensued<\/span>, which was bro\u00adken by Isabel\u00adla, who in a voice of cold resent\u00adment<\/span> said, \u201cVery well, then there is an end of the par\u00adty. If Cather\u00adine does not go, I can\u00adnot. I can\u00adnot be the only woman. I would not, upon any account<\/span> in the world<\/span>, do so improp\u00ader a thing.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cCather\u00adine, you must go,\u201d said James.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut why can\u00adnot Mr. Thor\u00adpe dri\u00adve one of his oth\u00ader sis\u00adters? I dare say either of them would like to go.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThank ye<\/span>,\u201d cried Thor\u00adpe, \u201cbut I did not come to Bath to dri\u00adve my sis\u00adters about, and look like a fool. No, if you do not go, d\u2014<\/span> me if I do. I only go for the sake of<\/span> dri\u00adving you.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThat is a com\u00adpli\u00adment which gives me no plea\u00adsure.\u201d But her words were lost on Thor\u00adpe<\/span>, who had turned abrupt\u00adly<\/span> away.<\/p>\n

The three oth\u00aders still con\u00adtin\u00adued togeth\u00ader, walk\u00ading in a most uncom\u00adfort\u00adable man\u00adner to poor Cather\u00adine; some\u00adtimes not a word was said, some\u00adtimes she was again attacked with sup\u00adpli\u00adca\u00adtions<\/span> or reproach\u00ades<\/span>^, and her arm was still linked with\u00adin Isabella\u2019s, though their hearts were at war. At one moment she was soft\u00adened, at anoth\u00ader irri\u00adtat\u00aded<\/span>; always dis\u00adtressed<\/span>^, but always steady.<\/p>\n

\u201cI did not think you had been so obsti\u00adnate<\/span>, Cather\u00adine,\u201d said James; \u201cyou were not used to be so hard to per\u00adsuade; you once were the kind\u00adest, best-tem\u00adpered<\/span> of my sisters.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI hope I am not less so now,\u201d she replied, very feel\u00ading\u00adly<\/span>; \u201cbut indeed I can\u00adnot go. If I am wrong, I am doing what I believe to be right.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI sus\u00adpect,\u201d said Isabel\u00adla, in a low voice, \u201cthere is no great struggle.\u201d<\/p>\n

Catherine\u2019s heart swelled<\/span>; she drew away her arm, and Isabel\u00adla made no oppo\u00adsi\u00adtion. Thus passed a long ten min\u00adutes, till they were again joined by Thor\u00adpe, who, com\u00ading to them with a gay\u00ader look, said, \u201cWell, I have set\u00adtled the mat\u00adter, and now we may all go tomor\u00adrow with a safe con\u00adscience<\/span>. I have been to Miss Tilney, and made your excuses.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou have not!\u201d cried Catherine.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have, upon my soul<\/span>. Left her this moment. Told her you had sent me to say that, hav\u00ading just rec\u00adol\u00adlect\u00aded<\/span> a pri\u00ador engage\u00adment of going to Clifton<\/span> with us tomor\u00adrow, you could not have the plea\u00adsure of walk\u00ading with her till Tues\u00adday. She said very well, Tues\u00adday was just as con\u00adve\u00adnient to her; so there is an end of all our dif\u00adfi\u00adcul\u00adties. A pret\u00adty good thought of mine\u2014hey?\u201d<\/p>\n

Isabella\u2019s coun\u00adte\u00adnance<\/span> was once more all smiles and good humour, and James too looked hap\u00adpy again.<\/p>\n

\u201cA most heav\u00aden\u00adly thought indeed! Now, my sweet Cather\u00adine, all our dis\u00adtress\u00ades<\/span> are over; you are hon\u00adourably acquit\u00adted<\/span>, and we shall have a most delight\u00adful party.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis will not do<\/span>,\u201d said Cather\u00adine; \u201cI can\u00adnot sub\u00admit to this. I must run after Miss Tilney direct\u00adly and set her right<\/span>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Isabel\u00adla, how\u00adev\u00ader, caught hold of one hand, Thor\u00adpe of the oth\u00ader, and remon\u00adstrances<\/span> poured in from all three. Even James was quite angry. When every\u00adthing was set\u00adtled, when Miss Tilney her\u00adself said that Tues\u00adday would suit her as well, it was quite ridicu\u00adlous, quite absurd, to make any fur\u00adther objec\u00adtion<\/span>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI do not care. Mr. Thor\u00adpe had no busi\u00adness to invent any such mes\u00adsage. If I had thought it right to put it off<\/span>, I could have spo\u00adken to Miss Tilney myself. This is only doing it in a rud\u00ader<\/span> way; and how do I know that Mr. Thor\u00adpe has\u2014He may be mis\u00adtak\u00aden again per\u00adhaps; he led me into one act of rude\u00adness<\/span> by his mis\u00adtake on Fri\u00adday. Let me go<\/span>, Mr. Thor\u00adpe; Isabel\u00adla, do not hold me.<\/p>\n

Thor\u00adpe told her it would be in vain<\/span> to go after the Tilneys; they were turn\u00ading the cor\u00adner into Brock Street<\/span>, when he had over\u00adtak\u00aden<\/span> them, and were at home by this time.<\/p>\n

\u201cThen I will go after them,\u201d said Cather\u00adine; \u201cwher\u00adev\u00ader they are I will go after them. It does not sig\u00adni\u00adfy talk\u00ading<\/span>. If I could not be per\u00adsuad\u00aded into doing what I thought wrong, I nev\u00ader will be tricked into it<\/span>.\u201d And with these words she broke away<\/span> and hur\u00adried off<\/span>. Thor\u00adpe would have dart\u00aded<\/span> after her, but Mor\u00adland with\u00adheld<\/span> him. \u201cLet her go<\/span>, let her go<\/span>, if she will go. She is as obsti\u00adnate<\/span> as\u2014\u201c<\/p>\n

Thor\u00adpe nev\u00ader fin\u00adished the sim\u00adi\u00adle<\/span>, for it could hard\u00adly have been a prop\u00ader one.<\/p>\n

Away walked Cather\u00adine in great agi\u00adta\u00adtion<\/span>, as fast as the crowd would per\u00admit her, fear\u00adful of being pur\u00adsued, yet deter\u00admined to per\u00adse\u00advere<\/span>. As she walked, she reflect\u00aded on what had passed. It was painful to her to dis\u00adap\u00adpoint and dis\u00adplease them, par\u00adtic\u00adu\u00adlar\u00adly to dis\u00adplease her broth\u00ader; but she could not repent<\/span> her resis\u00adtance. Set\u00adting her own incli\u00adna\u00adtion<\/span> apart, to have failed a sec\u00adond time in her engage\u00adment to Miss Tilney, to have retract\u00aded<\/span> a promise vol\u00adun\u00adtar\u00adi\u00adly made only five min\u00adutes before, and on a false pre\u00adtence<\/span> too, must have been wrong. She had not been with\u00adstand\u00ading<\/span> them on self\u00adish prin\u00adci\u00adples alone, she had not con\u00adsult\u00aded mere\u00adly her own grat\u00adi\u00adfi\u00adca\u00adtion<\/span>; that might have been ensured in some degree<\/span> by the excur\u00adsion<\/span> itself, by see\u00ading Blaize Cas\u00adtle<\/span>; no, she had attend\u00aded to what was due to oth\u00aders, and to her own char\u00adac\u00adter in their opin\u00adion. Her con\u00advic\u00adtion<\/span> of being right, how\u00adev\u00ader, was not enough to restore her com\u00adpo\u00adsure<\/span>; till she had spo\u00adken to Miss Tilney she could not be at ease<\/span>; and quick\u00aden\u00ading her pace when she got clear of<\/span> the Cres\u00adcent<\/span>, she almost ran over the remain\u00ading ground till she gained<\/span> the top of Mil\u00adsom Street<\/span>. So rapid had been her move\u00adments that in spite of<\/span> the Tilneys\u2019 advan\u00adtage in the out\u00adset<\/span>, they were but<\/span> just fum\u00ading into<\/span> their lodg\u00adings<\/span> as she came with\u00adin view<\/span> of them; and the ser\u00advant still remain\u00ading at the open door, she used only the cer\u00ade\u00admo\u00adny of say\u00ading that she must speak with Miss Tilney that moment, and hur\u00adry\u00ading by him pro\u00adceed\u00aded upstairs. Then, open\u00ading the first door before her, which hap\u00adpened to be the right, she imme\u00addi\u00adate\u00adly found her\u00adself in the draw\u00ading-room with Gen\u00ader\u00adal Tilney, his son, and daugh\u00adter. Her expla\u00adna\u00adtion, defec\u00adtive only in being\u2014from her irri\u00adta\u00adtion of nerves<\/span> and short\u00adness of breath<\/span>\u2014no expla\u00adna\u00adtion at all<\/span>, was instant\u00adly giv\u00aden. \u201cI am come in a great hurry\u2014It was all a mistake\u2014I nev\u00ader promised to go\u2014I told them from the first I could not go.\u2014I ran away in a great hur\u00adry to explain it.\u2014I did not care what you thought of me.\u2014I would not stay for the servant.\u201d<\/p>\n

The busi\u00adness, how\u00adev\u00ader, though not per\u00adfect\u00adly elu\u00adci\u00addat\u00aded<\/span> by this speech, soon ceased to be a puz\u00adzle. Cather\u00adine found that John Thor\u00adpe had giv\u00aden the mes\u00adsage; and Miss Tilney had no scru\u00adple<\/span> in own\u00ading her\u00adself<\/span> great\u00adly sur\u00adprised by it. But whether her broth\u00ader had still exceed\u00aded her in resent\u00adment<\/span>, Cather\u00adine, though she instinc\u00adtive\u00adly addressed<\/span> her\u00adself as much to one as to the oth\u00ader in her vin\u00addi\u00adca\u00adtion<\/span>, had no means of know\u00ading<\/span>. What\u00adev\u00ader might have been felt before her arrival, her eager dec\u00adla\u00adra\u00adtions imme\u00addi\u00adate\u00adly made every look and sen\u00adtence as friend\u00adly as she could desire.<\/p>\n

The affair thus hap\u00adpi\u00adly set\u00adtled, she was intro\u00adduced by Miss Tilney to her father, and received by him with such ready, such solic\u00adi\u00adtous<\/span> polite\u00adness<\/span> as recalled<\/span> Thorpe\u2019s infor\u00adma\u00adtion to her mind, and made her think with plea\u00adsure that he might be some\u00adtimes depend\u00aded on. To such anx\u00adious atten\u00adtion was the general\u2019s civil\u00adi\u00adty<\/span> car\u00adried, that not aware of her extra\u00ador\u00addi\u00adnary swift\u00adness in enter\u00ading the house, he was quite angry with the ser\u00advant whose neglect<\/span> had reduced<\/span> her to open the door of the apart\u00adment her\u00adself. \u201cWhat did William mean by it? He should make a point of<\/span> inquir\u00ading<\/span> into the mat\u00adter.\u201d And if Cather\u00adine had not most warm\u00adly assert\u00aded his inno\u00adcence, it seemed like\u00adly that William would lose the favour of his mas\u00adter for\u00adev\u00ader, if not his place, by her rapidity.<\/p>\n

After sit\u00adting with them a quar\u00adter of an hour, she rose to take leave<\/span>, and was then most agree\u00adably sur\u00adprised by Gen\u00ader\u00adal Tilney\u2019s ask\u00ading her if she would do his daugh\u00adter the hon\u00adour of din\u00ading and spend\u00ading the rest of the day with her. Miss Tilney added her own wish\u00ades. Cather\u00adine was great\u00adly oblig\u00aded<\/span>; but it was quite out of her pow\u00ader<\/span>. Mr. and Mrs. Allen would expect her back every moment. The gen\u00ader\u00adal declared he could say no more; the claims of Mr. and Mrs. Allen were not to be super\u00adseded<\/span>; but on some oth\u00ader day he trust\u00aded, when longer notice could be giv\u00aden, they would not refuse to spare her to her friend. \u201cOh, no; Cather\u00adine was sure they would not have the least objec\u00adtion<\/span>, and she should have great plea\u00adsure in com\u00ading.\u201d The gen\u00ader\u00adal attend\u00aded<\/span> her him\u00adself to the street-door, say\u00ading every\u00adthing gal\u00adlant<\/span> as they went down\u00adstairs, admir\u00ading the elas\u00adtic\u00adi\u00adty<\/span> of her walk, which cor\u00adre\u00adspond\u00aded exact\u00adly with the spir\u00adit of her danc\u00ading, and mak\u00ading her one of the most grace\u00adful<\/span> bows she had ever beheld<\/span>, when they parted.<\/p>\n

Cather\u00adine, delight\u00aded by all that had passed, pro\u00adceed\u00aded gai\u00adly to Pul\u00adteney Street<\/span>, walk\u00ading, as she con\u00adclud\u00aded, with great elas\u00adtic\u00adi\u00adty<\/span>, though she had nev\u00ader thought of it before. She reached home with\u00adout see\u00ading any\u00adthing more of the offend\u00aded par\u00adty; and now that she had been tri\u00adumphant through\u00adout, had car\u00adried her point<\/span>, and was secure of her walk, she began (as the flut\u00adter of her spir\u00adits sub\u00adsided<\/span>) to doubt whether she had been per\u00adfect\u00adly right. A sac\u00adri\u00adfice<\/span> was always noble; and if she had giv\u00aden way to their entreaties<\/span>, she should have been spared the dis\u00adtress\u00ading<\/span> idea of a friend dis\u00adpleased, a broth\u00ader angry, and a scheme of great hap\u00adpi\u00adness to both destroyed, per\u00adhaps through her means. To ease her mind, and ascer\u00adtain<\/span> by the opin\u00adion of an unprej\u00adu\u00addiced<\/span> per\u00adson what her own con\u00adduct had real\u00adly been, she took occa\u00adsion to<\/span> men\u00adtion before Mr. Allen the half-set\u00adtled scheme of her broth\u00ader and the Thor\u00adpes for the fol\u00adlow\u00ading day. Mr. Allen caught at it direct\u00adly. \u201cWell,\u201d said he, \u201cand do you think of going too?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo; I had just engaged myself to walk with Miss Tilney before they told me of it; and there\u00adfore you know I could not go with them, could I?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo, cer\u00adtain\u00adly not; and I am glad you do not think of it. These schemes are not at all<\/span> the thing. Young men and women dri\u00adving about the coun\u00adtry<\/span> in open car\u00adriages<\/span>! Now and then<\/span> it is very well; but going to inns and pub\u00adlic places togeth\u00ader! It is not right; and I won\u00adder Mrs. Thor\u00adpe should allow it. I am glad you do not think of going; I am sure Mrs. Mor\u00adland would not be pleased. Mrs. Allen, are not you of my way of think\u00ading<\/span>? Do not you think these kind of projects objec\u00adtion\u00adable<\/span>?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, very much so indeed. Open car\u00adriages<\/span> are nasty<\/span> things. A clean gown<\/span> is not five min\u00adutes\u2019 wear in them. You are splashed<\/span> get\u00adting in and get\u00adting out; and the wind takes your hair and your bon\u00adnet<\/span> in every direc\u00adtion. I hate an open car\u00adriage<\/span> myself.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI know you do; but that is not the ques\u00adtion. Do not you think it has an odd appear\u00adance, if young ladies are fre\u00adquent\u00adly dri\u00adven about in them by young men, to whom they are not even related?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, my dear, a very odd appear\u00adance indeed. I can\u00adnot bear<\/span> to see it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDear madam,\u201d cried Cather\u00adine, \u201cthen why did not you tell me so before? I am sure if I had known it to be improp\u00ader, I would not have gone with Mr. Thor\u00adpe at all<\/span>; but I always hoped you would tell me, if you thought I was doing wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd so I should, my dear, you may depend on it<\/span>; for as I told Mrs. Mor\u00adland at part\u00ading, I would always do the best for you in my pow\u00ader<\/span>. But one must not be over par\u00adtic\u00adu\u00adlar<\/span>. Young peo\u00adple will be young peo\u00adple<\/span>, as your good moth\u00ader says her\u00adself. You know I want\u00aded you, when we first came, not to buy that sprigged<\/span> muslin<\/span>, but you would. Young peo\u00adple do not like to be always thwart\u00aded<\/span>.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBut this was some\u00adthing of real con\u00adse\u00adquence; and I do not think you would have found me hard to persuade.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAs far as it has gone hith\u00ader\u00adto<\/span>, there is no harm done,\u201d said Mr. Allen; \u201cand I would only advise you, my dear, not to go out with Mr. Thor\u00adpe any more.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThat is just what I was going to say,\u201d added his wife.<\/p>\n

Cather\u00adine, relieved for her\u00adself, felt uneasy<\/span> for Isabel\u00adla, and after a moment\u2019s thought, asked Mr. Allen whether it would not be both prop\u00ader and kind in her to write to Miss Thor\u00adpe, and explain the indeco\u00adrum<\/span> of which she must be as insen\u00adsi\u00adble as her\u00adself; for she con\u00adsid\u00adered that Isabel\u00adla might oth\u00ader\u00adwise per\u00adhaps be going to Clifton<\/span> the next day, in spite of<\/span> what had passed. Mr. Allen, how\u00adev\u00ader, dis\u00adcour\u00adaged her from doing any such thing. \u201cYou had bet\u00adter<\/span> leave her alone<\/span>, my dear; she is old enough to know what she is about<\/span>, and if not, has a moth\u00ader to advise her. Mrs. Thor\u00adpe is too indul\u00adgent<\/span> beyond a doubt<\/span>; but, how\u00adev\u00ader, you had bet\u00adter<\/span> not inter\u00adfere<\/span>. She and your broth\u00ader choose to go, and you will be only get\u00adting ill will<\/span>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cather\u00adine sub\u00admit\u00adted, and though sor\u00adry to think that Isabel\u00adla should be doing wrong, felt great\u00adly relieved by Mr. Allen\u2019s appro\u00adba\u00adtion<\/span> of her own con\u00adduct, and tru\u00adly rejoiced<\/span> to be pre\u00adserved by his advice from the dan\u00adger of falling into such an error<\/span> her\u00adself. Her escape from being one of the par\u00adty to Clifton<\/span> was now an escape indeed; for<\/span> what would the Tilneys have thought of her, if she had bro\u00adken her promise to them in order to do what was wrong in itself, if she had been guilty of one breach<\/span> of pro\u00adpri\u00adety<\/span>, only to enable her to be guilty of another?<\/p>\n

The next morn\u00ading<\/span> was fair, and Cather\u00adine almost expect\u00aded anoth\u00ader attack from the assem\u00adbled par\u00adty. With Mr. Allen to sup\u00adport her, she felt no dread<\/span> of the event: but she would glad\u00adly be spared a con\u00adtest, where vic\u00adto\u00adry itself was painful, and was hearti\u00adly<\/span> rejoiced<\/span> there\u00adfore at nei\u00adther see\u00ading nor hear\u00ading any\u00adthing of them. The Tilneys called for her<\/span> at the appoint\u00aded time; and no new dif\u00adfi\u00adcul\u00adty aris\u00ading, no sud\u00adden rec\u00adol\u00adlec\u00adtion<\/span>, no unex\u00adpect\u00aded sum\u00admons<\/span>, no imper\u00adti\u00adnent<\/span> intru\u00adsion<\/span> to dis\u00adcon\u00adcert<\/span> their mea\u00adsures, my hero\u00adine was most unnat\u00adu\u00adral\u00adly able to ful\u00adfil her engage\u00adment, though it was made with the hero him\u00adself. They deter\u00admined on walk\u00ading round Beechen Cliff<\/span>, that noble hill whose beau\u00adti\u00adful ver\u00addure<\/span> and hang\u00ading cop\u00adpice<\/span> ren\u00adder<\/span> it so strik\u00ading an object from almost every open\u00ading<\/span> in Bath.<\/p>\n

\u201cI nev\u00ader look at it,\u201d said Cather\u00adine, as they walked along the side of the riv\u00ader, \u201cwith\u00adout think\u00ading of the south of France.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou have been abroad then?\u201d said Hen\u00adry, a lit\u00adtle surprised.<\/p>\n

\u201cOh! No, I only mean what I have read about. It always puts me in mind of<\/span> the coun\u00adtry that Emi\u00adly<\/span> and her father trav\u00adelled through, in The Mys\u00adter\u00adies of Udolpho<\/span>. But you nev\u00ader read nov\u00adels, I dare say?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy not?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause they are not clever enough for you\u2014gentlemen read bet\u00adter books.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe per\u00adson, be it gen\u00adtle\u00adman or lady, who has not plea\u00adsure in a good nov\u00adel, must be intol\u00ader\u00ada\u00adbly stu\u00adpid. I have read all Mrs. Radcliffe\u2019s<\/span> works, and most of them with great plea\u00adsure. The Mys\u00adter\u00adies of Udolpho<\/span>, when I had once begun it, I could not lay down<\/span> again; I remem\u00adber fin\u00adish\u00ading it in two days\u2014my hair stand\u00ading on end<\/span> the whole time.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYes,\u201d added Miss Tilney, \u201cand I remem\u00adber that you under\u00adtook to read it aloud<\/span> to me, and that when I was called away for only five min\u00adutes to answer a note, instead of wait\u00ading for me, you took the vol\u00adume into the Her\u00admitage Walk<\/span>, and I was oblig\u00aded<\/span> to stay till you had fin\u00adished it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThank you, Eleanor\u2014a most hon\u00adourable tes\u00adti\u00admo\u00adny<\/span>. You see, Miss Mor\u00adland, the injus\u00adtice of your sus\u00adpi\u00adcions. Here was I, in my eager\u00adness to get on<\/span>, refus\u00ading to wait only five min\u00adutes for my sis\u00adter, break\u00ading the promise I had made of read\u00ading it aloud, and keep\u00ading her in sus\u00adpense<\/span> at a most inter\u00adest\u00ading part, by run\u00adning away with the vol\u00adume, which, you are to observe, was her own, par\u00adtic\u00adu\u00adlar\u00adly her own. I am proud when I reflect on<\/span> it, and I think it must estab\u00adlish me in your good opin\u00adion<\/span>.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI am very glad to hear it indeed, and now I shall nev\u00ader be ashamed<\/span> of lik\u00ading Udolpho<\/span> myself. But I real\u00adly thought before, young men despised<\/span> nov\u00adels amazingly.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is amaz\u00ading\u00adly<\/span>; it may well sug\u00adgest amaze\u00adment<\/span> if they do\u2014for they read near\u00adly as many as women. I myself have read hun\u00addreds and hun\u00addreds. Do not imag\u00adine that you can cope with me<\/span> in a knowl\u00adedge of Julias and Louisas<\/span>. If we pro\u00adceed to par\u00adtic\u00adu\u00adlars<\/span>, and engage in the nev\u00ader-ceas\u00ading inquiry of \u2018Have you read this?\u2019 and \u2018Have you read that?\u2019 I shall soon leave you as far behind me as\u2014what shall I say?\u2014l want an appro\u00adpri\u00adate sim\u00adi\u00adle<\/span>.\u2014as far as<\/span> your friend Emi\u00adly<\/span> her\u00adself left poor Valan\u00adcourt<\/span> when she went with her aunt into Italy. Con\u00adsid\u00ader how many years I have had the start of<\/span> you. I had entered on my stud\u00adies at Oxford, while you were a good lit\u00adtle girl work\u00ading your sam\u00adpler<\/span> at home!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNot very good, I am afraid. But now real\u00adly, do not you think Udolpho<\/span> the nicest book in the world?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe nicest\u2014by which I sup\u00adpose you mean the neat\u00adest. That must depend upon the bind\u00ading<\/span>.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHen\u00adry,\u201d said Miss Tilney, \u201cyou are very imper\u00adti\u00adnent<\/span>. Miss Mor\u00adland, he is treat\u00ading you exact\u00adly as he does his sis\u00adter. He is for\u00adev\u00ader find\u00ading fault with me<\/span>, for some incor\u00adrect\u00adness of lan\u00adguage, and now he is tak\u00ading the same lib\u00ader\u00adty with you<\/span>. The word \u2018nicest,\u2019 as you used it, did not suit him; and you had bet\u00adter<\/span> change it as soon as<\/span> you can, or we shall be over\u00adpow\u00adered<\/span> with John\u00adson<\/span> and Blair<\/span> all the rest of the way.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI am sure,\u201d cried Cather\u00adine, \u201cI did not mean to say any\u00adthing wrong; but it is a nice book, and why should not I call it so?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cVery true,\u201d said Hen\u00adry, \u201cand this is a very nice day, and we are tak\u00ading a very nice walk, and you are two very nice young ladies. Oh! It is a very nice word indeed! It does for every\u00adthing. Orig\u00adi\u00adnal\u00adly per\u00adhaps it was applied only to express neat\u00adness, pro\u00adpri\u00adety<\/span>, del\u00adi\u00adca\u00adcy, or refine\u00adment<\/span>\u2014peo\u00adple were nice in their dress, in their sen\u00adti\u00adments, or their choice. But now every com\u00admen\u00adda\u00adtion<\/span> on every sub\u00adject is com\u00adprised in that one word.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile, in fact<\/span>,\u201d cried his sis\u00adter, \u201cit ought only to be applied to you, with\u00adout any com\u00admen\u00adda\u00adtion<\/span> at all<\/span>. You are more nice than wise. Come, Miss Mor\u00adland, let us leave him to med\u00adi\u00adtate<\/span> over our faults in the utmost<\/span> pro\u00adpri\u00adety<\/span> of dic\u00adtion<\/span>, while we praise Udolpho<\/span> in what\u00adev\u00ader terms<\/span> we like best. It is a most inter\u00adest\u00ading work. You are fond of<\/span> that kind of reading?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cTo say the truth, I do not much like any other.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIndeed!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThat is, I can read poet\u00adry and plays, and things of that sort, and do not dis\u00adlike trav\u00adels. But his\u00adto\u00adry, real solemn<\/span> his\u00adto\u00adry, I can\u00adnot be inter\u00adest\u00aded in. Can you?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, I am fond of<\/span> history.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI wish I were too. I read it a lit\u00adtle as a duty, but it tells me noth\u00ading that does not either vex<\/span> or weary<\/span> me. The quar\u00adrels<\/span> of popes and kings, with wars or pesti\u00adlences<\/span>, in every page; the men all so good for noth\u00ading<\/span>, and hard\u00adly any women at all<\/span>\u2014it is very tire\u00adsome<\/span>: and yet I often think it odd that it should be so dull<\/span>, for<\/span> a great deal<\/span> of it must be inven\u00adtion. The speech\u00ades that are put into the heroes\u2019 mouths, their thoughts and designs<\/span>\u2014the chief of<\/span> all this must be inven\u00adtion, and inven\u00adtion is what delights me in oth\u00ader books.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHis\u00adto\u00adri\u00adans, you think,\u201d said Miss Tilney, \u201care not hap\u00adpy in their flights of fan\u00adcy<\/span>. They dis\u00adplay imag\u00adi\u00adna\u00adtion with\u00adout rais\u00ading inter\u00adest. I am fond of<\/span> history\u2014and am very well con\u00adtent\u00aded to take the false with the true. In the prin\u00adci\u00adpal facts they have sources of intel\u00adli\u00adgence<\/span> in for\u00admer his\u00adto\u00adries and records, which may be as much depend\u00aded on, I con\u00adclude, as any\u00adthing that does not actu\u00adal\u00adly pass under one\u2019s own obser\u00adva\u00adtion; and as for<\/span> the lit\u00adtle embell\u00adish\u00adments<\/span> you speak of, they are embell\u00adish\u00adments<\/span>, and I like them as such. If a speech be well drawn up, I read it with plea\u00adsure, by whom\u00adso\u00adev\u00ader<\/span> it may be made\u2014and prob\u00ada\u00adbly with much greater, if the pro\u00adduc\u00adtion of Mr. Hume<\/span> or Mr. Robert\u00adson<\/span>, than if the gen\u00aduine words of Car\u00adac\u00adta\u00adcus<\/span>, Agri\u00adco\u00adla<\/span>, or Alfred the Great<\/span>.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou are fond of<\/span> his\u00adto\u00adry! And so are Mr. Allen and my father; and I have two broth\u00aders who do not dis\u00adlike it. So many instances with\u00adin my small cir\u00adcle of friends is remark\u00adable! At this rate<\/span>, I shall not pity the writ\u00aders of his\u00adto\u00adry any longer. If peo\u00adple like to read their books, it is all very well, but to be at so much trou\u00adble in fill\u00ading great vol\u00adumes, which, as I used to think, nobody would will\u00ading\u00adly ever look into, to be labour\u00ading only for the tor\u00adment<\/span> of lit\u00adtle boys and girls, always struck me as a hard fate; and though I know it is all very right and nec\u00ades\u00adsary, I have often won\u00addered at the person\u2019s courage that could sit down on pur\u00adpose<\/span> to do it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThat lit\u00adtle boys and girls should be tor\u00adment\u00aded<\/span>,\u201d said Hen\u00adry, \u201cis what no one at all<\/span> acquaint\u00aded with human nature in a civ\u00adi\u00adlized state can deny; but in behalf<\/span> of our most dis\u00adtin\u00adguished his\u00adto\u00adri\u00adans, I must observe that they might well be offend\u00aded at being sup\u00adposed to have no high\u00ader aim, and that by their method and style, they are per\u00adfect\u00adly well qual\u00adi\u00adfied to tor\u00adment<\/span> read\u00aders of the most advanced rea\u00adson and mature time of life. I use the verb \u2018to tor\u00adment<\/span>,\u2019 as I observed to be your own method, instead of \u2018to instruct,\u2019 sup\u00adpos\u00ading them to be now admit\u00adted as syn\u00adony\u00admous<\/span>.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou think me fool\u00adish to call instruc\u00adtion a tor\u00adment<\/span>, but if you had been as much used as myself to hear poor lit\u00adtle chil\u00addren first learn\u00ading their let\u00adters and then learn\u00ading to spell, if you had ever seen how stu\u00adpid they can be for a whole morn\u00ading togeth\u00ader, and how tired my poor moth\u00ader is at the end of it, as I am in the habit of<\/span> see\u00ading almost every day of my life at home, you would allow that \u2018to tor\u00adment<\/span>\u2019 and \u2018to instruct\u2019 might some\u00adtimes be used as syn\u00adony\u00admous<\/span> words.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cVery prob\u00ada\u00adbly. But his\u00adto\u00adri\u00adans are not account\u00adable for<\/span> the dif\u00adfi\u00adcul\u00adty of learn\u00ading to read; and even you your\u00adself, who do not alto\u00adgeth\u00ader seem par\u00adtic\u00adu\u00adlar\u00adly friend\u00adly to very severe, very intense appli\u00adca\u00adtion, may per\u00adhaps be brought to acknowl\u00adedge that it is very well worth-while<\/span> to be tor\u00adment\u00aded<\/span> for two or three years of one\u2019s life, for the sake of<\/span> being able to read all the rest of it. Consider\u2014if read\u00ading had not been taught, Mrs. Rad\u00adcliffe<\/span>^18 would have writ\u00adten in vain<\/span>\u2014or per\u00adhaps might not have writ\u00adten at all<\/span>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cather\u00adine assent\u00aded<\/span>\u2014and a very warm pan\u00ade\u00adgyric<\/span> from her on that lady\u2019s mer\u00adits closed the sub\u00adject. The Tilneys were soon engaged in anoth\u00ader on which she had noth\u00ading to say. They were view\u00ading the coun\u00adtry<\/span> with the eyes of per\u00adsons accus\u00adtomed to draw\u00ading, and decid\u00aded on its capa\u00adbil\u00adi\u00adty of being formed into pic\u00adtures, with all the eager\u00adness of real taste. Here Cather\u00adine was quite lost. She knew noth\u00ading of drawing\u2014nothing of taste: and she lis\u00adtened to them with an atten\u00adtion which brought her lit\u00adtle prof\u00adit<\/span>, for they talked in phras\u00ades which con\u00adveyed scarce\u00adly any idea to her<\/span>. The lit\u00adtle which she could under\u00adstand, how\u00adev\u00ader, appeared to con\u00adtra\u00addict<\/span> the very few notions<\/span> she had enter\u00adtained<\/span> on the mat\u00adter before. It seemed as if a good view were no longer to be tak\u00aden from the top of an high hill, and that a clear blue sky was no longer a proof of a fine day. She was hearti\u00adly<\/span> ashamed^29 of her igno\u00adrance. A mis\u00adplaced<\/span> shame. Where peo\u00adple wish to attach, they should always be igno\u00adrant. To come with a well-informed mind is to come with an inabil\u00adi\u00adty of admin\u00adis\u00adter\u00ading to the van\u00adi\u00adty<\/span> of oth\u00aders, which a sen\u00adsi\u00adble per\u00adson would always wish to avoid. A woman espe\u00adcial\u00adly, if she have the mis\u00adfor\u00adtune of know\u00ading any\u00adthing, should con\u00adceal<\/span> it as well as she can.<\/p>\n

The advan\u00adtages of nat\u00adur\u00adal fol\u00adly<\/span> in a beau\u00adti\u00adful girl have been already set forth<\/span> by the cap\u00adi\u00adtal<\/span> pen of a sis\u00adter author; and to her treat\u00adment of the sub\u00adject I will only add, in jus\u00adtice to men, that though to the larg\u00ader and more tri\u00adfling<\/span> part of the sex, imbe\u00adcil\u00adi\u00adty<\/span> in females is a great enhance\u00adment of their per\u00adson\u00adal charms, there is a por\u00adtion of them too rea\u00adson\u00adable and too well informed them\u00adselves to desire any\u00adthing more in woman than igno\u00adrance. But Cather\u00adine did not know her own advantages\u2014did not know that a good-look\u00ading girl, with an affec\u00adtion\u00adate<\/span> heart and a very igno\u00adrant mind, can\u00adnot fail of attract\u00ading a clever young man, unless cir\u00adcum\u00adstances are par\u00adtic\u00adu\u00adlar\u00adly unto\u00adward<\/span>. In the present instance, she con\u00adfessed<\/span> and lament\u00aded<\/span> her want of knowl\u00adedge, declared that she would give any\u00adthing in the world<\/span> to be able to draw; and a lec\u00adture on the pic\u00adturesque<\/span> imme\u00addi\u00adate\u00adly fol\u00adlowed, in which his instruc\u00adtions were so clear that she soon began to see beau\u00adty in every\u00adthing admired by him, and her atten\u00adtion was so earnest<\/span> that he became per\u00adfect\u00adly sat\u00adis\u00adfied of her hav\u00ading a great deal<\/span> of nat\u00adur\u00adal taste. He talked of fore\u00adgrounds<\/span>, dis\u00adtances, and sec\u00adond dis\u00adtances<\/span>\u2014side-screens and perspectives\u2014lights and shades; and Cather\u00adine was so hope\u00adful a schol\u00adar that when they gained<\/span> the top of Beechen Cliff<\/span>, she vol\u00adun\u00adtar\u00adi\u00adly reject\u00aded the whole city of Bath as unwor\u00adthy to make part of a land\u00adscape. Delight\u00aded with her progress, and fear\u00adful of weary\u00ading<\/span> her with too much wis\u00addom at once<\/span>, Hen\u00adry suf\u00adfered the sub\u00adject to decline<\/span>, and by an easy tran\u00adsi\u00adtion from a piece of rocky frag\u00adment and the with\u00adered<\/span> oak which he had placed near its sum\u00admit<\/span>, to oaks in gen\u00ader\u00adal<\/span>, to forests, the enclo\u00adsure<\/span> of them, waste lands<\/span>, crown lands<\/span> and gov\u00adern\u00adment, he short\u00adly found him\u00adself arrived at<\/span> pol\u00adi\u00adtics; and from pol\u00adi\u00adtics, it was an easy step to silence. The gen\u00ader\u00adal pause which suc\u00adceed\u00aded his short dis\u00adqui\u00adsi\u00adtion<\/span> on the state of the nation was put an end to<\/span> by Cather\u00adine, who, in rather a solemn<\/span> tone of voice, uttered<\/span> these words, \u201cI have heard that some\u00adthing very shock\u00ading indeed will soon come out<\/span> in London.\u201d<\/p>\n

Miss Tilney, to whom this was chiefly addressed, was star\u00adtled<\/span>, and hasti\u00adly replied, \u201cIndeed! And of what nature?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThat I do not know, nor who is the author. I have only heard that it is to be more hor\u00adri\u00adble than any\u00adthing we have met with yet.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cGood heav\u00aden! Where could you hear of such a thing?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cA par\u00adtic\u00adu\u00adlar friend of mine had an account<\/span> of it in a let\u00adter from Lon\u00addon yes\u00adter\u00adday. It is to be uncom\u00admon\u00adly dread\u00adful<\/span>. I shall expect mur\u00adder and every\u00adthing of the kind<\/span>.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou speak with aston\u00adish\u00ading com\u00adpo\u00adsure<\/span>! But I hope your friend\u2019s accounts<\/span> have been exag\u00adger\u00adat\u00aded<\/span>; and if such a design<\/span> is known before\u00adhand<\/span>, prop\u00ader mea\u00adsures will undoubt\u00aded\u00adly be tak\u00aden by gov\u00adern\u00adment to pre\u00advent its com\u00ading to effect<\/span>.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cGov\u00adern\u00adment,\u201d said Hen\u00adry, endeav\u00adour\u00ading<\/span> not to smile, \u201cnei\u00adther desires nor dares to inter\u00adfere<\/span> in such mat\u00adters. There must be mur\u00adder; and gov\u00adern\u00adment cares not how much.\u201d<\/p>\n

The ladies stared. He laughed, and added, \u201cCome, shall I make you under\u00adstand each oth\u00ader, or leave you to puz\u00adzle out<\/span> an expla\u00adna\u00adtion as you can? No\u2014I will be noble. I will prove myself a man<\/span>, no less by the gen\u00aderos\u00adi\u00adty of my soul than the clear\u00adness of my head. I have no patience with such of my sex as dis\u00addain<\/span> to let them\u00adselves some\u00adtimes down<\/span> to the com\u00adpre\u00adhen\u00adsion<\/span> of yours. Per\u00adhaps the abil\u00adi\u00adties of women are nei\u00adther sound nor acute\u2014neither vig\u00ador\u00adous<\/span> nor keen. Per\u00adhaps they may want obser\u00adva\u00adtion, dis\u00adcern\u00adment<\/span>, judg\u00adment, fire, genius, and wit<\/span>.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMiss Mor\u00adland, do not mind what he says; but have the good\u00adness to sat\u00adis\u00adfy me as to this dread\u00adful<\/span> riot.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cRiot! What riot?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMy dear Eleanor, the riot is only in your own brain. The con\u00adfu\u00adsion there is scan\u00addalous. Miss Mor\u00adland has been talk\u00ading of noth\u00ading more dread\u00adful<\/span> than a new pub\u00adli\u00adca\u00adtion which is short\u00adly to come out, in three duodec\u00adi\u00admo<\/span> vol\u00adumes, two hun\u00addred and sev\u00aden\u00adty-six pages in each, with a fron\u00adtispiece<\/span> to the first, of two tomb\u00adstones<\/span> and a lantern<\/span>\u2014do you under\u00adstand? And you, Miss Morland\u2014my stu\u00adpid sis\u00adter has mis\u00adtak\u00aden all your clear\u00adest expres\u00adsions. You talked of expect\u00aded hor\u00adrors in London\u2014and instead of instant\u00adly con\u00adceiv\u00ading, as any ratio\u00adnal crea\u00adture would have done, that such words could relate only to a cir\u00adcu\u00adlat\u00ading library<\/span>, she imme\u00addi\u00adate\u00adly pic\u00adtured to her\u00adself a mob<\/span> of three thou\u00adsand men assem\u00adbling in St. George\u2019s Fields<\/span>, the Bank attacked, the Tow\u00ader<\/span> threat\u00adened, the streets of Lon\u00addon flow\u00ading with blood, a detach\u00adment<\/span> of the Twelfth Light Dra\u00adgoons<\/span> (the hopes of the nation) called up from Northamp\u00adton<\/span> to quell<\/span> the insur\u00adgents<\/span>, and the gal\u00adlant<\/span> Cap\u00adtain Fred\u00ader\u00adick Tilney, in the moment of charg\u00ading<\/span> at the head of<\/span> his troop<\/span>, knocked off his horse<\/span> by a brick\u00adbat<\/span> from an upper win\u00addow. For\u00adgive her stu\u00adpid\u00adi\u00adty. The fears of the sis\u00adter have added to the weak\u00adness of the woman; but she is by no means<\/span> a sim\u00adple\u00adton<\/span> in gen\u00ader\u00adal<\/span>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cather\u00adine looked grave<\/span>. \u201cAnd now, Hen\u00adry,\u201d said Miss Tilney, \u201cthat you have made us under\u00adstand each oth\u00ader, you may as well make Miss Mor\u00adland under\u00adstand yourself\u2014unless you mean to have her think you intol\u00ader\u00ada\u00adbly rude<\/span> to your sis\u00adter, and a great brute in your opin\u00adion<\/span> of women in gen\u00ader\u00adal<\/span>. Miss Mor\u00adland is not used to your odd ways.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI shall be most hap\u00adpy to make her bet\u00adter acquaint\u00aded with them.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo doubt; but that is no expla\u00adna\u00adtion of the present.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat am I to do?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou know what you ought to do. Clear your char\u00adac\u00adter hand\u00adsome\u00adly before her. Tell her that you think very high\u00adly of the under\u00adstand\u00ading of women.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMiss Mor\u00adland, I think very high\u00adly of the under\u00adstand\u00ading of all the women in the world\u2014especially of those\u2014whoever they may be\u2014with whom I hap\u00adpen to be<\/span> in company.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThat is not enough. Be more serious.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMiss Mor\u00adland, no one can think more high\u00adly of the under\u00adstand\u00ading of women than I do. In my opin\u00adion, nature has giv\u00aden them so much that they nev\u00ader find it nec\u00ades\u00adsary to use more than half.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe shall get noth\u00ading more seri\u00adous from him now, Miss Mor\u00adland. He is not in a sober<\/span> mood. But I do assure you that he must be entire\u00adly mis\u00adun\u00adder\u00adstood, if he can ever appear to say an unjust thing of any woman at all<\/span>, or an unkind one of me.\u201d<\/p>\n

It was no effort to Cather\u00adine to<\/span> believe that Hen\u00adry Tilney could nev\u00ader be wrong. His man\u00adner might some\u00adtimes sur\u00adprise, but his mean\u00ading must always be just: and what she did not under\u00adstand, she was almost as ready to admire, as what she did. The whole walk was delight\u00adful, and though it end\u00aded too soon, its con\u00adclu\u00adsion was delight\u00adful too; her friends attend\u00aded<\/span> her into the house, and Miss Tilney, before they part\u00aded, address\u00ading her\u00adself with respect\u00adful form, as much to Mrs. Allen as to Cather\u00adine, peti\u00adtioned for the plea\u00adsure of her com\u00adpa\u00adny to din\u00adner on the day after the next. No dif\u00adfi\u00adcul\u00adty was made on Mrs. Allen\u2019s side<\/span>, and the only dif\u00adfi\u00adcul\u00adty on Catherine\u2019s was in con\u00adceal\u00ading<\/span> the excess<\/span> of her pleasure.<\/p>\n

The morn\u00ading had passed away<\/span> so charm\u00ading\u00adly as to ban\u00adish<\/span> all her friend\u00adship and nat\u00adur\u00adal affec\u00adtion, for<\/span> no thought of Isabel\u00adla or James had crossed her dur\u00ading their walk. When the Tilneys were gone, she became ami\u00adable<\/span> again, but she was ami\u00adable<\/span> for some time to lit\u00adtle effect; Mrs. Allen had no intel\u00adli\u00adgence<\/span> to give that could relieve her anx\u00adi\u00adety; she had heard noth\u00ading of any of them. Towards the end of the morn\u00ading, how\u00adev\u00ader, Cather\u00adine, hav\u00ading occa\u00adsion for some indis\u00adpens\u00adable<\/span> yard of rib\u00adbon which must be bought with\u00adout a moment\u2019s delay<\/span>, walked out into the town, and in Bond Street<\/span> over\u00adtook<\/span> the sec\u00adond Miss Thor\u00adpe as she was loi\u00adter\u00ading<\/span> towards Edgar\u2019s Build\u00adings<\/span> between two of the sweet\u00adest girls in the world, who had been her dear friends all the morn\u00ading. From her, she soon learned that the par\u00adty to Clifton<\/span> had tak\u00aden place. \u201cThey set off<\/span> at eight this morn\u00ading,\u201d said Miss Anne, \u201cand I am sure I do not envy<\/span> them their dri\u00adve. I think you and I are very well off<\/span> to be out of the scrape<\/span>. It must be the dullest<\/span> thing in the world, for<\/span> there is not a soul at Clifton<\/span> at this time of year. Belle went with your broth\u00ader, and John drove Maria.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cather\u00adine spoke the plea\u00adsure<\/span> she real\u00adly felt on hear\u00ading this part of the arrangement.<\/p>\n

\u201cOh! yes,\u201d rejoined<\/span> the oth\u00ader, \u201cMaria is gone. She was quite wild to go. She thought it would be some\u00adthing very fine. I can\u00adnot say I admire her taste; and for my part<\/span>, I was deter\u00admined from the first<\/span> not to go, if they pressed me ever so much.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cather\u00adine, a lit\u00adtle doubt\u00adful of this, could not help answer\u00ading, \u201cI wish you could have gone too. It is a pity you could not all go.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThank you; but it is quite a mat\u00adter of indif\u00adfer\u00adence to me<\/span>. Indeed, I would not have gone on any account<\/span>. I was say\u00ading so to Emi\u00adly and Sophia when you over\u00adtook<\/span> us.<\/p>\n

Cather\u00adine was still uncon\u00advinced; but glad that Anne should have the friend\u00adship of an Emi\u00adly and a Sophia to con\u00adsole<\/span> her, she bade her adieu<\/span> with\u00adout much uneasi\u00adness<\/span>, and returned home, pleased that the par\u00adty had not been pre\u00advent\u00aded by her refus\u00ading to join it, and very hearti\u00adly<\/span> wish\u00ading that it might be too pleas\u00adant to allow either James or Isabel\u00adla to resent<\/span> her resis\u00adtance any longer.<\/p>\n
