Catherine
was
delighted
with
this
extension
of
her
Bath
acquaintance
,
and
almost
forgot
Mr
.
Tilney
while
she
talked
to
Miss
Thorpe
.
Friendship
is
certainly
the
finest
balm
for
the
pangs
of
disappointed
love
.
Their
conversation
turned
upon
those
subjects
,
of
which
the
free
discussion
has
generally
much
to
do
in
perfecting
a
sudden
intimacy
between
two
young
ladies
:
such
as
dress
,
balls
,
flirtations
,
and
quizzes
.
Miss
Thorpe
,
however
,
being
four
years
older
than
Miss
Morland
,
and
at
least
four
years
better
informed
,
had
a
very
decided
advantage
in
discussing
such
points
;
she
could
compare
the
balls
of
Bath
with
those
of
Tunbridge
,
its
fashions
with
the
fashions
of
London
;
could
rectify
the
opinions
of
her
new
friend
in
many
articles
of
tasteful
attire
;
could
discover
a
flirtation
between
any
gentleman
and
lady
who
only
smiled
on
each
other
;
and
point
out
a
quiz
through
the
thickness
of
a
crowd
.
These
powers
received
due
admiration
from
Catherine
,
to
whom
they
were
entirely
new
;
and
the
respect
which
they
naturally
inspired
might
have
been
too
great
for
familiarity
,
had
not
the
easy
gaiety
of
Miss
Thorpe
’
s
manners
,
and
her
frequent
expressions
of
delight
on
this
acquaintance
with
her
,
softened
down
every
feeling
of
awe
,
and
left
nothing
but
tender
affection
.
Their
increasing
attachment
was
not
to
be
satisfied
with
half
a
dozen
turns
in
the
pump
-
room
,
but
required
,
when
they
all
quitted
it
together
,
that
Miss
Thorpe
should
accompany
Miss
Morland
to
the
very
door
of
Mr
Allen
’
s
house
;
and
that
they
should
there
part
with
a
most
affectionate
and
lengthened
shake
of
hands
,
after
learning
,
to
their
mutual
relief
,
that
they
should
see
each
other
across
the
theatre
at
night
,
and
say
their
prayers
in
the
same
chapel
the
next
morning
.
Catherine
then
ran
directly
upstairs
,
and
watched
Miss
Thorpe
’
s
progress
down
the
street
from
the
drawing
-
room
window
;
admired
the
graceful
spirit
of
her
walk
,
the
fashionable
air
of
her
figure
and
dress
;
and
felt
grateful
,
as
well
she
might
,
for
the
chance
which
had
procured
her
such
a
friend
.
Mrs
.
Thorpe
was
a
widow
,
and
not
a
very
rich
one
;
she
was
a
good
-
humoured
,
well
-
meaning
woman
,
and
a
very
indulgent
mother
.
Her
eldest
daughter
had
great
personal
beauty
,
and
the
younger
ones
,
by
pretending
to
be
as
handsome
as
their
sister
,
imitating
her
air
,
and
dressing
in
the
same
style
,
did
very
well
.
This
brief
account
of
the
family
is
intended
to
supersede
the
necessity
of
a
long
and
minute
detail
from
Mrs
.
Thorpe
herself
,
of
her
past
adventures
and
sufferings
,
which
might
otherwise
be
expected
to
occupy
the
three
or
four
following
chapters
;
in
which
the
worthlessness
of
lords
and
attorneys
might
be
set
forth
,
and
conversations
,
which
had
passed
twenty
years
before
,
be
minutely
repeated
.
Catherine
was
not
so
much
engaged
at
the
theatre
that
evening
,
in
returning
the
nods
and
smiles
of
Miss
Thorpe
,
though
they
certainly
claimed
much
of
her
leisure
,
as
to
forget
to
look
with
an
inquiring
eye
for
Mr
.
Tilney
in
every
box
which
her
eye
could
reach
;
but
she
looked
in
vain
.
Mr
.
Tilney
was
no
fonder
of
the
play
than
the
pump
-
room
.
She
hoped
to
be
more
fortunate
the
next
day
;
and
when
her
wishes
for
fine
weather
were
answered
by
seeing
a
beautiful
morning
,
she
hardly
felt
a
doubt
of
it
;
for
a
fine
Sunday
in
Bath
empties
every
house
of
its
inhabitants
,
and
all
the
world
appears
on
such
an
occasion
to
walk
about
and
tell
their
acquaintance
what
a
charming
day
it
is
.
As
soon
as
divine
service
was
over
,
the
Thorpes
and
Allens
eagerly
joined
each
other
;
and
after
staying
long
enough
in
the
pump
-
room
to
discover
that
the
crowd
was
insupportable
,
and
that
there
was
not
a
genteel
face
to
be
seen
,
which
everybody
discovers
every
Sunday
throughout
the
season
,
they
hastened
away
to
the
Crescent
,
to
breathe
the
fresh
air
of
better
company
.
Here
Catherine
and
Isabella
,
arm
in
arm
,
again
tasted
the
sweets
of
friendship
in
an
unreserved
conversation
;
they
talked
much
,
and
with
much
enjoyment
;
but
again
was
Catherine
disappointed
in
her
hope
of
reseeing
her
partner
.
He
was
nowhere
to
be
met
with
;
every
search
for
him
was
equally
unsuccessful
,
in
morning
lounges
or
evening
assemblies
;
neither
at
the
Upper
nor
Lower
Rooms
,
at
dressed
or
undressed
balls
,
was
he
perceivable
;
nor
among
the
walkers
,
the
horsemen
,
or
the
curricle
-
drivers
of
the
morning
.
His
name
was
not
in
the
pump
-
room
book
,
and
curiosity
could
do
no
more
.
He
must
be
gone
from
Bath
.
Yet
he
had
not
mentioned
that
his
stay
would
be
so
short
!
This
sort
of
mysteriousness
,
which
is
always
so
becoming
in
a
hero
,
threw
a
fresh
grace
in
Catherine
’
s
imagination
around
his
person
and
manners
,
and
increased
her
anxiety
to
know
more
of
him
.
From
the
Thorpes
she
could
learn
nothing
,
for
they
had
been
only
two
days
in
Bath
before
they
met
with
Mrs
.
Allen
.
It
was
a
subject
,
however
,
in
which
she
often
indulged
with
her
fair
friend
,
from
whom
she
received
every
possible
encouragement
to
continue
to
think
of
him
;
and
his
impression
on
her
fancy
was
not
suffered
therefore
to
weaken
.
Isabella
was
very
sure
that
he
must
be
a
charming
young
man
,
and
was
equally
sure
that
he
must
have
been
delighted
with
her
dear
Catherine
,
and
would
therefore
shortly
return
.
She
liked
him
the
better
for
being
a
clergyman
,
“
for
she
must
confess
herself
very
partial
to
the
profession
”
;
and
something
like
a
sigh
escaped
her
as
she
said
it
.
Perhaps
Catherine
was
wrong
in
not
demanding
the
cause
of
that
gentle
emotion
—
but
she
was
not
experienced
enough
in
the
finesse
of
love
,
or
the
duties
of
friendship
,
to
know
when
delicate
raillery
was
properly
called
for
,
or
when
a
confidence
should
be
forced
.
Mrs
.
Allen
was
now
quite
happy
—
quite
satisfied
with
Bath
.
She
had
found
some
acquaintance
,
had
been
so
lucky
too
as
to
find
in
them
the
family
of
a
most
worthy
old
friend
;
and
,
as
the
completion
of
good
fortune
,
had
found
these
friends
by
no
means
so
expensively
dressed
as
herself
.
Her
daily
expressions
were
no
longer
,
“
I
wish
we
had
some
acquaintance
in
Bath
!
”
They
were
changed
into
,
“
How
glad
I
am
we
have
met
with
Mrs
.
Thorpe
!
”
and
she
was
as
eager
in
promoting
the
intercourse
of
the
two
families
,
as
her
young
charge
and
Isabella
themselves
could
be
;
never
satisfied
with
the
day
unless
she
spent
the
chief
of
it
by
the
side
of
Mrs
.
Thorpe
,
in
what
they
called
conversation
,
but
in
which
there
was
scarcely
ever
any
exchange
of
opinion
,
and
not
often
any
resemblance
of
subject
,
for
Mrs
.
Thorpe
talked
chiefly
of
her
children
,
and
Mrs
.
Allen
of
her
gowns
.
