“
I
dare
say
he
does
;
and
I
do
not
know
any
man
who
is
a
better
judge
of
beauty
than
Mr
.
Allen
.
I
need
not
ask
you
whether
you
are
happy
here
,
my
dear
Catherine
;
with
such
a
companion
and
friend
as
Isabella
Thorpe
,
it
would
be
impossible
for
you
to
be
otherwise
;
and
the
Allens
,
I
am
sure
,
are
very
kind
to
you
?
”
“
Yes
,
very
kind
;
I
never
was
so
happy
before
;
and
now
you
are
come
it
will
be
more
delightful
than
ever
;
how
good
it
is
of
you
to
come
so
far
on
purpose
to
see
me
.
”
James
accepted
this
tribute
of
gratitude
,
and
qualified
his
conscience
for
accepting
it
too
,
by
saying
with
perfect
sincerity
,
“
Indeed
,
Catherine
,
I
love
you
dearly
.
”
Inquiries
and
communications
concerning
brothers
and
sisters
,
the
situation
of
some
,
the
growth
of
the
rest
,
and
other
family
matters
now
passed
between
them
,
and
continued
,
with
only
one
small
digression
on
James
’
s
part
,
in
praise
of
Miss
Thorpe
,
till
they
reached
Pulteney
Street
,
where
he
was
welcomed
with
great
kindness
by
Mr
.
and
Mrs
.
Allen
,
invited
by
the
former
to
dine
with
them
,
and
summoned
by
the
latter
to
guess
the
price
and
weigh
the
merits
of
a
new
muff
and
tippet
.
A
pre
-
engagement
in
Edgar
’
s
Buildings
prevented
his
accepting
the
invitation
of
one
friend
,
and
obliged
him
to
hurry
away
as
soon
as
he
had
satisfied
the
demands
of
the
other
.
The
time
of
the
two
parties
uniting
in
the
Octagon
Room
being
correctly
adjusted
,
Catherine
was
then
left
to
the
luxury
of
a
raised
,
restless
,
and
frightened
imagination
over
the
pages
of
Udolpho
,
lost
from
all
worldly
concerns
of
dressing
and
dinner
,
incapable
of
soothing
Mrs
Allen
’
s
fears
on
the
delay
of
an
expected
dressmaker
,
and
having
only
one
minute
in
sixty
to
bestow
even
on
the
reflection
of
her
own
felicity
,
in
being
already
engaged
for
the
evening
.
In
spite
of
Udolpho
and
the
dressmaker
,
however
,
the
party
from
Pulteney
Street
reached
the
Upper
Rooms
in
very
good
time
.
The
Thorpes
and
James
Morland
were
there
only
two
minutes
before
them
;
and
Isabella
having
gone
through
the
usual
ceremonial
of
meeting
her
friend
with
the
most
smiling
and
affectionate
haste
,
of
admiring
the
set
of
her
gown
,
and
envying
the
curl
of
her
hair
,
they
followed
their
chaperones
,
arm
in
arm
,
into
the
ballroom
,
whispering
to
each
other
whenever
a
thought
occurred
,
and
supplying
the
place
of
many
ideas
by
a
squeeze
of
the
hand
or
a
smile
of
affection
.
The
dancing
began
within
a
few
minutes
after
they
were
seated
;
and
James
,
who
had
been
engaged
quite
as
long
as
his
sister
,
was
very
importunate
with
Isabella
to
stand
up
;
but
John
was
gone
into
the
card
-
room
to
speak
to
a
friend
,
and
nothing
,
she
declared
,
should
induce
her
to
join
the
set
before
her
dear
Catherine
could
join
it
too
.
“
I
assure
you
,
”
said
she
,
“
I
would
not
stand
up
without
your
dear
sister
for
all
the
world
;
for
if
I
did
we
should
certainly
be
separated
the
whole
evening
.
”
Catherine
accepted
this
kindness
with
gratitude
,
and
they
continued
as
they
were
for
three
minutes
longer
,
when
Isabella
,
who
had
been
talking
to
James
on
the
other
side
of
her
,
turned
again
to
his
sister
and
whispered
,
“
My
dear
creature
,
I
am
afraid
I
must
leave
you
,
your
brother
is
so
amazingly
impatient
to
begin
;
I
know
you
will
not
mind
my
going
away
,
and
I
dare
say
John
will
be
back
in
a
moment
,
and
then
you
may
easily
find
me
out
.
”
Catherine
,
though
a
little
disappointed
,
had
too
much
good
nature
to
make
any
opposition
,
and
the
others
rising
up
,
Isabella
had
only
time
to
press
her
friend
’
s
hand
and
say
,
“
Good
-
bye
,
my
dear
love
,
”
before
they
hurried
off
.
The
younger
Miss
Thorpes
being
also
dancing
,
Catherine
was
left
to
the
mercy
of
Mrs
.
Thorpe
and
Mrs
.
Allen
,
between
whom
she
now
remained
.
She
could
not
help
being
vexed
at
the
non
-
appearance
of
Mr
.
Thorpe
,
for
she
not
only
longed
to
be
dancing
,
but
was
likewise
aware
that
,
as
the
real
dignity
of
her
situation
could
not
be
known
,
she
was
sharing
with
the
scores
of
other
young
ladies
still
sitting
down
all
the
discredit
of
wanting
a
partner
.
To
be
disgraced
in
the
eye
of
the
world
,
to
wear
the
appearance
of
infamy
while
her
heart
is
all
purity
,
her
actions
all
innocence
,
and
the
misconduct
of
another
the
true
source
of
her
debasement
,
is
one
of
those
circumstances
which
peculiarly
belong
to
the
heroine
’
s
life
,
and
her
fortitude
under
it
what
particularly
dignifies
her
character
.
Catherine
had
fortitude
too
;
she
suffered
,
but
no
murmur
passed
her
lips
.
From
this
state
of
humiliation
,
she
was
roused
,
at
the
end
of
ten
minutes
,
to
a
pleasanter
feeling
,
by
seeing
,
not
Mr
.
Thorpe
,
but
Mr
.
Tilney
,
within
three
yards
of
the
place
where
they
sat
;
he
seemed
to
be
moving
that
way
,
but
he
did
not
see
her
,
and
therefore
the
smile
and
the
blush
,
which
his
sudden
reappearance
raised
in
Catherine
,
passed
away
without
sullying
her
heroic
importance
.
He
looked
as
handsome
and
as
lively
as
ever
,
and
was
talking
with
interest
to
a
fashionable
and
pleasing
-
looking
young
woman
,
who
leant
on
his
arm
,
and
whom
Catherine
immediately
guessed
to
be
his
sister
;
thus
unthinkingly
throwing
away
a
fair
opportunity
of
considering
him
lost
to
her
forever
,
by
being
married
already
.
But
guided
only
by
what
was
simple
and
probable
,
it
had
never
entered
her
head
that
Mr
.
Tilney
could
be
married
;
he
had
not
behaved
,
he
had
not
talked
,
like
the
married
men
to
whom
she
had
been
used
;
he
had
never
mentioned
a
wife
,
and
he
had
acknowledged
a
sister
.
From
these
circumstances
sprang
the
instant
conclusion
of
his
sister
’
s
now
being
by
his
side
;
and
therefore
,
instead
of
turning
of
a
deathlike
paleness
and
falling
in
a
fit
on
Mrs
.
Allen
’
s
bosom
,
Catherine
sat
erect
,
in
the
perfect
use
of
her
senses
,
and
with
cheeks
only
a
little
redder
than
usual
.
