“
Yes
,
it
does
give
a
notion
,
”
said
Catherine
warmly
,
“
and
that
is
,
that
you
all
drink
a
great
deal
more
wine
than
I
thought
you
did
.
However
,
I
am
sure
James
does
not
drink
so
much
.
”
This
declaration
brought
on
a
loud
and
overpowering
reply
,
of
which
no
part
was
very
distinct
,
except
the
frequent
exclamations
,
amounting
almost
to
oaths
,
which
adorned
it
,
and
Catherine
was
left
,
when
it
ended
,
with
rather
a
strengthened
belief
of
there
being
a
great
deal
of
wine
drunk
in
Oxford
,
and
the
same
happy
conviction
of
her
brother
’
s
comparative
sobriety
.
Thorpe
’
s
ideas
then
all
reverted
to
the
merits
of
his
own
equipage
,
and
she
was
called
on
to
admire
the
spirit
and
freedom
with
which
his
horse
moved
along
,
and
the
ease
which
his
paces
,
as
well
as
the
excellence
of
the
springs
,
gave
the
motion
of
the
carriage
.
She
followed
him
in
all
his
admiration
as
well
as
she
could
.
To
go
before
or
beyond
him
was
impossible
.
His
knowledge
and
her
ignorance
of
the
subject
,
his
rapidity
of
expression
,
and
her
diffidence
of
herself
put
that
out
of
her
power
;
she
could
strike
out
nothing
new
in
commendation
,
but
she
readily
echoed
whatever
he
chose
to
assert
,
and
it
was
finally
settled
between
them
without
any
difficulty
that
his
equipage
was
altogether
the
most
complete
of
its
kind
in
England
,
his
carriage
the
neatest
,
his
horse
the
best
goer
,
and
himself
the
best
coachman
.
“
You
do
not
really
think
,
Mr
.
Thorpe
,
”
said
Catherine
,
venturing
after
some
time
to
consider
the
matter
as
entirely
decided
,
and
to
offer
some
little
variation
on
the
subject
,
“
that
James
’
s
gig
will
break
down
?
”
“
Break
down
!
Oh
!
Lord
!
Did
you
ever
see
such
a
little
tittuppy
thing
in
your
life
?
There
is
not
a
sound
piece
of
iron
about
it
.
The
wheels
have
been
fairly
worn
out
these
ten
years
at
least
—
and
as
for
the
body
!
Upon
my
soul
,
you
might
shake
it
to
pieces
yourself
with
a
touch
.
It
is
the
most
devilish
little
rickety
business
I
ever
beheld
!
Thank
God
!
we
have
got
a
better
.
I
would
not
be
bound
to
go
two
miles
in
it
for
fifty
thousand
pounds
.
”
“
Good
heavens
!
”
cried
Catherine
,
quite
frightened
.
“
Then
pray
let
us
turn
back
;
they
will
certainly
meet
with
an
accident
if
we
go
on
.
Do
let
us
turn
back
,
Mr
.
Thorpe
;
stop
and
speak
to
my
brother
,
and
tell
him
how
very
unsafe
it
is
.
”
“
Unsafe
!
Oh
,
lord
!
What
is
there
in
that
?
They
will
only
get
a
roll
if
it
does
break
down
;
and
there
is
plenty
of
dirt
;
it
will
be
excellent
falling
.
Oh
,
curse
it
!
The
carriage
is
safe
enough
,
if
a
man
knows
how
to
drive
it
;
a
thing
of
that
sort
in
good
hands
will
last
above
twenty
years
after
it
is
fairly
worn
out
.
Lord
bless
you
!
I
would
undertake
for
five
pounds
to
drive
it
to
York
and
back
again
,
without
losing
a
nail
.
”
Catherine
listened
with
astonishment
;
she
knew
not
how
to
reconcile
two
such
very
different
accounts
of
the
same
thing
;
for
she
had
not
been
brought
up
to
understand
the
propensities
of
a
rattle
,
nor
to
know
to
how
many
idle
assertions
and
impudent
falsehoods
the
excess
of
vanity
will
lead
.
Her
own
family
were
plain
,
matter
-
of
-
fact
people
who
seldom
aimed
at
wit
of
any
kind
;
her
father
,
at
the
utmost
,
being
contented
with
a
pun
,
and
her
mother
with
a
proverb
;
they
were
not
in
the
habit
therefore
of
telling
lies
to
increase
their
importance
,
or
of
asserting
at
one
moment
what
they
would
contradict
the
next
.
She
reflected
on
the
affair
for
some
time
in
much
perplexity
,
and
was
more
than
once
on
the
point
of
requesting
from
Mr
.
Thorpe
a
clearer
insight
into
his
real
opinion
on
the
subject
;
but
she
checked
herself
,
because
it
appeared
to
her
that
he
did
not
excel
in
giving
those
clearer
insights
,
in
making
those
things
plain
which
he
had
before
made
ambiguous
;
and
,
joining
to
this
,
the
consideration
that
he
would
not
really
suffer
his
sister
and
his
friend
to
be
exposed
to
a
danger
from
which
he
might
easily
preserve
them
,
she
concluded
at
last
that
he
must
know
the
carriage
to
be
in
fact
perfectly
safe
,
and
therefore
would
alarm
herself
no
longer
.
By
him
the
whole
matter
seemed
entirely
forgotten
;
and
all
the
rest
of
his
conversation
,
or
rather
talk
,
began
and
ended
with
himself
and
his
own
concerns
.
He
told
her
of
horses
which
he
had
bought
for
a
trifle
and
sold
for
incredible
sums
;
of
racing
matches
,
in
which
his
judgment
had
infallibly
foretold
the
winner
;
of
shooting
parties
,
in
which
he
had
killed
more
birds
(
though
without
having
one
good
shot
)
than
all
his
companions
together
;
and
described
to
her
some
famous
day
’
s
sport
,
with
the
fox
-
hounds
,
in
which
his
foresight
and
skill
in
directing
the
dogs
had
repaired
the
mistakes
of
the
most
experienced
huntsman
,
and
in
which
the
boldness
of
his
riding
,
though
it
had
never
endangered
his
own
life
for
a
moment
,
had
been
constantly
leading
others
into
difficulties
,
which
he
calmly
concluded
had
broken
the
necks
of
many
.
Little
as
Catherine
was
in
the
habit
of
judging
for
herself
,
and
unfixed
as
were
her
general
notions
of
what
men
ought
to
be
,
she
could
not
entirely
repress
a
doubt
,
while
she
bore
with
the
effusions
of
his
endless
conceit
,
of
his
being
altogether
completely
agreeable
.
