stood the parsonage�察�a new´built substantial stone house��



with its semicircular sweep and green gates�察�and�察�as they



drove up to the door�察�Henry�察�with the friends of his solitude��



a large Newfoundland puppy and two or three terriers��



was ready to receive and make much of them。 







     Catherine's mind was too full�察�as she entered



the house�察�for her either to observe or to say a



great deal�察�and�察�till called on by the general for her



opinion of it�察�she had very little idea of the room



in which she was sitting。  Upon looking round it then��



she perceived in a moment that it was the most comfortable



room in the world�察�but she was too guarded to say so��



and the coldness of her praise disappointed him。 







     ;We are not calling it a good house�察─�said he。 



;We are not comparing it with Fullerton and Northangerwe



are considering it as a mere parsonage�察�small and confined��



we allow�察�but decent�察�perhaps�察�and habitable�察�and altogether



not inferior to the generality�察�or�察�in other words��



I believe there are few country parsonages in England half



so good。  It may admit of improvement�察�however。  Far be



it from me to say otherwise�察�and anything in reasona



bow thrown out�察�perhapsthough�察�between ourselves��



if there is one thing more than another my aversion��



it is a patched´on bow。;







     Catherine did not hear enough of this speech to understand



or be pained by it�察�and other subjects being studiously



brought forward and supported by Henry�察�at the same time that



a tray full of refreshments was introduced by his servant��



the general was shortly restored to his complacency��



and Catherine to all her usual ease of spirits。 







     The room in question was of a commodious��



well´proportioned size�察�and handsomely fitted up as



a dining´parlour�察�and on their quitting it to walk round



the grounds�察�she was shown�察�first into a smaller apartment��



belonging peculiarly to the master of the house�察�and made



unusually tidy on the occasion�察�and afterwards into what



was to be the drawing´room�察�with the appearance of which��



though unfurnished�察�Catherine was delighted enough even



to satisfy the general。  It was a prettily shaped room��



the windows reaching to the ground�察�and the view



from them pleasant�察�though only over green meadows��



and she expressed her admiration at the moment with



all the honest simplicity with which she felt it。 



;Oh� �Why do not you fit up this room�察�Mr。 Tilney�拭�What



a pity not to have it fitted up� �It is the prettiest



room I ever saw�察�it is the prettiest room in the world� �







     ;I trust�察─�said the general�察�with a most satisfied smile��



;that it will very speedily be furnished�此�it waits only for



a lady's taste� �







     ;Well�察�if it was my house�察�I should never sit



anywhere else。  Oh� �What a sweet little cottage there is



among the treesapple trees�察�too� �It is the prettiest cottage� �







     ;You like ityou approve it as an objectit is enough。 



Henry�察�remember that Robinson is spoken to about it。 



The cottage remains。;







     Such a compliment recalled all Catherine's consciousness��



and silenced her directly�察�and�察�though pointedly applied



to by the general for her choice of the prevailing colour



of the paper and hangings�察�nothing like an opinion



on the subject could be drawn from her。  The influence



of fresh objects and fresh air�察�however�察�was of great



use in dissipating these embarrassing associations��



and�察�having reached the ornamental part of the premises��



consisting of a walk round two sides of a meadow�察�on which



Henry's genius had begun to act about half a year ago��



she was sufficiently recovered to think it prettier than any



pleasure´ground she had ever been in before�察�though there



was not a shrub in it higher than the green bench in the corner。 







     A saunter into other meadows�察�and through part



of the village�察�with a visit to the stables to examine



some improvements�察�and a charming game of play with a



litter of puppies just able to roll about�察�brought them



to four o'clock�察�when Catherine scarcely thought it could



be three。  At four they were to dine�察�and at six to set



off on their return。  Never had any day passed so quickly��







     She could not but observe that the abundance of the



dinner did not seem to create the smallest astonishment



in the general�察�nay�察�that he was even looking at the



side´table for cold meat which was not there。  His son



and daughter's observations were of a different kind。 



They had seldom seen him eat so heartily at any table



but his own�察�and never before known him so little



disconcerted by the melted butter's being oiled。 







     At six o'clock�察�the general having taken his coffee��



the carriage again received them�察�and so gratifying had been



the tenor of his conduct throughout the whole visit�察�so well



assured was her mind on the subject of his expectations��



that�察�could she have felt equally confident of the wishes



of his son�察�Catherine would have quitted Woodston with



little anxiety as to the How or the When she might return to it。 















CHAPTER 27











     The next morning brought the following very unexpected



letter from Isabella��







                                         Bath�察�April



     



          My dearest Catherine�察�I received your two kind



     letters with the greatest delight�察�and have a thousand



     apologies to make for not answering them sooner。



     I really am quite ashamed of my idleness�察�but in



     this horrid place one can find time for nothing。



     I have had my pen in my hand to begin a letter to



     you almost every day since you left Bath�察�but have



     always been prevented by some silly trifler or other。



     Pray write to me soon�察�and direct to my own home。



     Thank God�察�we leave this vile place tomorrow。  Since



     you went away�察�I have had no pleasure in itthe



     dust is beyond anything�察�and everybody one cares



     for is gone。  I believe if I could see you I should



     not mind the rest�察�for you are dearer to me than



     anybody can conceive。  I am quite uneasy about your



     dear brother�察�not having heard from him since he



     went to Oxford�察�and am fearful of some



     misunderstanding。  Your kind offices will set all



     right�此�he is the only man I ever did or could love��



     and I trust you will convince him of it。  The spring



     fashions are partly down�察�and the hats the most



     frightful you can imagine。  I hope you spend your



     time pleasantly�察�but am afraid you never think of



     me。  I will not say all that I could of the family



     you are with�察�because I would not be ungenerous�察�or



     set you against those you esteem�察�but it is very



     difficult to know whom to trust�察�and young men never



     know their minds two days together。  I rejoice to



     say that the young man whom�察�of all others�察�I



     particularly abhor�察�has left Bath。  You will know��



     from this description�察�I must mean Captain Tilney��



     who�察�as you may remember�察�was amazingly disposed to



     follow and tease me�察�before you went away。  Afterwards



     he got worse�察�and became quite my shadow。  Many



     girls might have been taken in�察�for never were such



     attentions�察�but I knew the fickle sex too well。  He



     went away to his regiment two days ago�察�and I trust



     I shall never be plagued with him again。  He is the



     greatest coxcomb I ever saw�察�and amazingly



     disagreeable。  The last two days he was always by



     the side of Charlotte Davis�此�I pitied his taste��



     but took no notice of him。  The last time we met



     was in Bath Street�察�and I turned directly into a



     shop that he might not speak to me�察�I would not even



     look at him。  He went into the pump´room afterwards��



     but I would not have followed him for all the world。



     Such a contrast between him and your brother� �Pray



     send me some news of the latterI am quite unhappy



     about him�察�he seemed so uncomfortable when he went



     away�察�with a cold�察�or something that affected his



     spirits。  I would write to him myself�察�but have



     mislaid his direction�察�and�察�as I hinted above�察�am



     afraid he took something in my conduct amiss。  Pray



     explain everything to his satisfaction�察�or�察�if he



     still harbours any doubt�察�a line from himself to



     me�察�or a call at Putney when next in town�察�might



     set all to rights。  I have not been to the rooms



     this age�察�nor to the play�察�except going in last



     night with the Hodges�察�for a frolic�察�at half price��



     they teased me into it�察�and I was determined they



     should not say I shut myself up because Tilney was



     gone。  We happened to sit by the Mitchells�察�and they



     pretended to be quite surprised to see me out。  I



     knew their spite�此�at one time they could not be



     civil to me�察�but now they are all friendship�察�but



     I am not such a fool as to be taken in by them。



     You know I have a pretty good spirit of my own。



     Anne Mitchell had tried to put on a turban like



     mine�察�as I wore it the week before at the concert��



     but made wretched work of itit happened to become



     my odd face�察�I believe�察�at least Tilney told me so



     at the time�察�and said every eye was upon
