You
are
fond
of
history
!
And
so
are
Mr
.
Allen
and
my
father
;
and
I
have
two
brothers
who
do
not
dislike
it
.
So
many
instances
within
my
small
circle
of
friends
is
remarkable
!
At
this
rate
,
I
shall
not
pity
the
writers
of
history
any
longer
.
If
people
like
to
read
their
books
,
it
is
all
very
well
,
but
to
be
at
so
much
trouble
in
filling
great
volumes
,
which
,
as
I
used
to
think
,
nobody
would
willingly
ever
look
into
,
to
be
labouring
only
for
the
torment
of
little
boys
and
girls
,
always
struck
me
as
a
hard
fate
;
and
though
I
know
it
is
all
very
right
and
necessary
,
I
have
often
wondered
at
the
person
’
s
courage
that
could
sit
down
on
purpose
to
do
it
.
”
“
That
little
boys
and
girls
should
be
tormented
,
”
said
Henry
,
“
is
what
no
one
at
all
acquainted
with
human
nature
in
a
civilized
state
can
deny
;
but
in
behalf
of
our
most
distinguished
historians
,
I
must
observe
that
they
might
well
be
offended
at
being
supposed
to
have
no
higher
aim
,
and
that
by
their
method
and
style
,
they
are
perfectly
well
qualified
to
torment
readers
of
the
most
advanced
reason
and
mature
time
of
life
.
I
use
the
verb
’
to
torment
,
’
as
I
observed
to
be
your
own
method
,
instead
of
’
to
instruct
,
’
supposing
them
to
be
now
admitted
as
synonymous
.
”
“
You
think
me
foolish
to
call
instruction
a
torment
,
but
if
you
had
been
as
much
used
as
myself
to
hear
poor
little
children
first
learning
their
letters
and
then
learning
to
spell
,
if
you
had
ever
seen
how
stupid
they
can
be
for
a
whole
morning
together
,
and
how
tired
my
poor
mother
is
at
the
end
of
it
,
as
I
am
in
the
habit
of
seeing
almost
every
day
of
my
life
at
home
,
you
would
allow
that
’
to
torment
’
and
’
to
instruct
’
might
sometimes
be
used
as
synonymous
words
.
”
“
Very
probably
.
But
historians
are
not
accountable
for
the
difficulty
of
learning
to
read
;
and
even
you
yourself
,
who
do
not
altogether
seem
particularly
friendly
to
very
severe
,
very
intense
application
,
may
perhaps
be
brought
to
acknowledge
that
it
is
very
well
worth
-
while
to
be
tormented
for
two
or
three
years
of
one
’
s
life
,
for
the
sake
of
being
able
to
read
all
the
rest
of
it
.
Consider
—
if
reading
had
not
been
taught
,
Mrs
.
Radcliffe
would
have
written
in
vain
—
or
perhaps
might
not
have
written
at
all
.
”
Catherine
assented
—
and
a
very
warm
panegyric
from
her
on
that
lady
’
s
merits
closed
the
subject
.
The
Tilneys
were
soon
engaged
in
another
on
which
she
had
nothing
to
say
.
They
were
viewing
the
country
with
the
eyes
of
persons
accustomed
to
drawing
,
and
decided
on
its
capability
of
being
formed
into
pictures
,
with
all
the
eagerness
of
real
taste
.
Here
Catherine
was
quite
lost
.
She
knew
nothing
of
drawing
—
nothing
of
taste
:
and
she
listened
to
them
with
an
attention
which
brought
her
little
profit
,
for
they
talked
in
phrases
which
conveyed
scarcely
any
idea
to
her
.
The
little
which
she
could
understand
,
however
,
appeared
to
contradict
the
very
few
notions
she
had
entertained
on
the
matter
before
.
It
seemed
as
if
a
good
view
were
no
longer
to
be
taken
from
the
top
of
an
high
hill
,
and
that
a
clear
blue
sky
was
no
longer
a
proof
of
a
fine
day
.
She
was
heartily
ashamed
of
her
ignorance
.
A
misplaced
shame
.
Where
people
wish
to
attach
,
they
should
always
be
ignorant
.
To
come
with
a
well
-
informed
mind
is
to
come
with
an
inability
of
administering
to
the
vanity
of
others
,
which
a
sensible
person
would
always
wish
to
avoid
.
A
woman
especially
,
if
she
have
the
misfortune
of
knowing
anything
,
should
conceal
it
as
well
as
she
can
.
The
advantages
of
natural
folly
in
a
beautiful
girl
have
been
already
set
forth
by
the
capital
pen
of
a
sister
author
;
and
to
her
treatment
of
the
subject
I
will
only
add
,
in
justice
to
men
,
that
though
to
the
larger
and
more
trifling
part
of
the
sex
,
imbecility
in
females
is
a
great
enhancement
of
their
personal
charms
,
there
is
a
portion
of
them
too
reasonable
and
too
well
informed
themselves
to
desire
anything
more
in
woman
than
ignorance
.
But
Catherine
did
not
know
her
own
advantages
—
did
not
know
that
a
good
-
looking
girl
,
with
an
affectionate
heart
and
a
very
ignorant
mind
,
cannot
fail
of
attracting
a
clever
young
man
,
unless
circumstances
are
particularly
untoward
.
In
the
present
instance
,
she
confessed
and
lamented
her
want
of
knowledge
,
declared
that
she
would
give
anything
in
the
world
to
be
able
to
draw
;
and
a
lecture
on
the
picturesque
immediately
followed
,
in
which
his
instructions
were
so
clear
that
she
soon
began
to
see
beauty
in
everything
admired
by
him
,
and
her
attention
was
so
earnest
that
he
became
perfectly
satisfied
of
her
having
a
great
deal
of
natural
taste
.
He
talked
of
foregrounds
,
distances
,
and
second
distances
—
side
-
screens
and
perspectives
—
lights
and
shades
;
and
Catherine
was
so
hopeful
a
scholar
that
when
they
gained
the
top
of
Beechen
Cliff
,
she
voluntarily
rejected
the
whole
city
of
Bath
as
unworthy
to
make
part
of
a
landscape
.
Delighted
with
her
progress
,
and
fearful
of
wearying
her
with
too
much
wisdom
at
once
,
Henry
suffered
the
subject
to
decline
,
and
by
an
easy
transition
from
a
piece
of
rocky
fragment
and
the
withered
oak
which
he
had
placed
near
its
summit
,
to
oaks
in
general
,
to
forests
,
the
enclosure
of
them
,
waste
lands
,
crown
lands
and
government
,
he
shortly
found
himself
arrived
at
politics
;
and
from
politics
,
it
was
an
easy
step
to
silence
.
The
general
pause
which
succeeded
his
short
disquisition
on
the
state
of
the
nation
was
put
an
end
to
by
Catherine
,
who
,
in
rather
a
solemn
tone
of
voice
,
uttered
these
words
,
“
I
have
heard
that
something
very
shocking
indeed
will
soon
come
out
in
London
.
”
Miss
Tilney
,
to
whom
this
was
chiefly
addressed
,
was
startled
,
and
hastily
replied
,
“
Indeed
!
And
of
what
nature
?
”
