They
were
no
more
inclined
than
entitled
to
demand
his
money
.
Of
a
very
considerable
fortune
,
his
son
was
,
by
marriage
settlements
,
eventually
secure
;
his
present
income
was
an
income
of
independence
and
comfort
,
and
under
every
pecuniary
view
,
it
was
a
match
beyond
the
claims
of
their
daughter
.
The
young
people
could
not
be
surprised
at
a
decision
like
this
.
They
felt
and
they
deplored
—
but
they
could
not
resent
it
;
and
they
parted
,
endeavouring
to
hope
that
such
a
change
in
the
general
,
as
each
believed
almost
impossible
,
might
speedily
take
place
,
to
unite
them
again
in
the
fullness
of
privileged
affection
.
Henry
returned
to
what
was
now
his
only
home
,
to
watch
over
his
young
plantations
,
and
extend
his
improvements
for
her
sake
,
to
whose
share
in
them
he
looked
anxiously
forward
;
and
Catherine
remained
at
Fullerton
to
cry
.
Whether
the
torments
of
absence
were
softened
by
a
clandestine
correspondence
,
let
us
not
inquire
.
Mr
.
and
Mrs
.
Morland
never
did
—
they
had
been
too
kind
to
exact
any
promise
;
and
whenever
Catherine
received
a
letter
,
as
,
at
that
time
,
happened
pretty
often
,
they
always
looked
another
way
.
The
anxiety
,
which
in
this
state
of
their
attachment
must
be
the
portion
of
Henry
and
Catherine
,
and
of
all
who
loved
either
,
as
to
its
final
event
,
can
hardly
extend
,
I
fear
,
to
the
bosom
of
my
readers
,
who
will
see
in
the
tell
-
tale
compression
of
the
pages
before
them
,
that
we
are
all
hastening
together
to
perfect
felicity
.
The
means
by
which
their
early
marriage
was
effected
can
be
the
only
doubt
:
what
probable
circumstance
could
work
upon
a
temper
like
the
general
’
s
?
The
circumstance
which
chiefly
availed
was
the
marriage
of
his
daughter
with
a
man
of
fortune
and
consequence
,
which
took
place
in
the
course
of
the
summer
—
an
accession
of
dignity
that
threw
him
into
a
fit
of
good
humour
,
from
which
he
did
not
recover
till
after
Eleanor
had
obtained
his
forgiveness
of
Henry
,
and
his
permission
for
him
“
to
be
a
fool
if
he
liked
it
!
”
The
marriage
of
Eleanor
Tilney
,
her
removal
from
all
the
evils
of
such
a
home
as
Northanger
had
been
made
by
Henry
’
s
banishment
,
to
the
home
of
her
choice
and
the
man
of
her
choice
,
is
an
event
which
I
expect
to
give
general
satisfaction
among
all
her
acquaintance
.
My
own
joy
on
the
occasion
is
very
sincere
.
I
know
no
one
more
entitled
,
by
unpretending
merit
,
or
better
prepared
by
habitual
suffering
,
to
receive
and
enjoy
felicity
.
Her
partiality
for
this
gentleman
was
not
of
recent
origin
;
and
he
had
been
long
withheld
only
by
inferiority
of
situation
from
addressing
her
.
His
unexpected
accession
to
title
and
fortune
had
removed
all
his
difficulties
;
and
never
had
the
general
loved
his
daughter
so
well
in
all
her
hours
of
companionship
,
utility
,
and
patient
endurance
as
when
he
first
hailed
her
“
Your
Ladyship
!
”
Her
husband
was
really
deserving
of
her
;
independent
of
his
peerage
,
his
wealth
,
and
his
attachment
,
being
to
a
precision
the
most
charming
young
man
in
the
world
.
Any
further
definition
of
his
merits
must
be
unnecessary
;
the
most
charming
young
man
in
the
world
is
instantly
before
the
imagination
of
us
all
.
Concerning
the
one
in
question
,
therefore
,
I
have
only
to
add
—
aware
that
the
rules
of
composition
forbid
the
introduction
of
a
character
not
connected
with
my
fable
—
that
this
was
the
very
gentleman
whose
negligent
servant
left
behind
him
that
collection
of
washing
-
bills
,
resulting
from
a
long
visit
at
Northanger
,
by
which
my
heroine
was
involved
in
one
of
her
most
alarming
adventures
.
The
influence
of
the
viscount
and
viscountess
in
their
brother
’
s
behalf
was
assisted
by
that
right
understanding
of
Mr
.
Morland
’
s
circumstances
which
,
as
soon
as
the
general
would
allow
himself
to
be
informed
,
they
were
qualified
to
give
.
It
taught
him
that
he
had
been
scarcely
more
misled
by
Thorpe
’
s
first
boast
of
the
family
wealth
than
by
his
subsequent
malicious
overthrow
of
it
;
that
in
no
sense
of
the
word
were
they
necessitous
or
poor
,
and
that
Catherine
would
have
three
thousand
pounds
.
This
was
so
material
an
amendment
of
his
late
expectations
that
it
greatly
contributed
to
smooth
the
descent
of
his
pride
;
and
by
no
means
without
its
effect
was
the
private
intelligence
,
which
he
was
at
some
pains
to
procure
,
that
the
Fullerton
estate
,
being
entirely
at
the
disposal
of
its
present
proprietor
,
was
consequently
open
to
every
greedy
speculation
.
On
the
strength
of
this
,
the
general
,
soon
after
Eleanor
’
s
marriage
,
permitted
his
son
to
return
to
Northanger
,
and
thence
made
him
the
bearer
of
his
consent
,
very
courteously
worded
in
a
page
full
of
empty
professions
to
Mr
.
Morland
The
event
which
it
authorized
soon
followed
:
Henry
and
Catherine
were
married
,
the
bells
rang
,
and
everybody
smiled
;
and
,
as
this
took
place
within
a
twelvemonth
from
the
first
day
of
their
meeting
,
it
will
not
appear
,
after
all
the
dreadful
delays
occasioned
by
the
general
’
s
cruelty
,
that
they
were
essentially
hurt
by
it
.
To
begin
perfect
happiness
at
the
respective
ages
of
twenty
-
six
and
eighteen
is
to
do
pretty
well
;
and
professing
myself
moreover
convinced
that
the
general
’
s
unjust
interference
,
so
far
from
being
really
injurious
to
their
felicity
,
was
perhaps
rather
conducive
to
it
,
by
improving
their
knowledge
of
each
other
,
and
adding
strength
to
their
attachment
,
I
leave
it
to
be
settled
,
by
whomsoever
it
may
concern
,
whether
the
tendency
of
this
work
be
altogether
to
recommend
parental
tyranny
,
or
reward
filial
disobedience
.
