The
elegance
of
the
breakfast
set
forced
itself
on
Catherine
’
s
notice
when
they
were
seated
at
table
;
and
,
luckily
,
it
had
been
the
general
’
s
choice
.
He
was
enchanted
by
her
approbation
of
his
taste
,
confessed
it
to
be
neat
and
simple
,
thought
it
right
to
encourage
the
manufacture
of
his
country
;
and
for
his
part
,
to
his
uncritical
palate
,
the
tea
was
as
well
flavoured
from
the
clay
of
Staffordshire
,
as
from
that
of
Dresden
or
Save
.
But
this
was
quite
an
old
set
,
purchased
two
years
ago
.
The
manufacture
was
much
improved
since
that
time
;
he
had
seen
some
beautiful
specimens
when
last
in
town
,
and
had
he
not
been
perfectly
without
vanity
of
that
kind
,
might
have
been
tempted
to
order
a
new
set
.
He
trusted
,
however
,
that
an
opportunity
might
ere
long
occur
of
selecting
one
—
though
not
for
himself
.
Catherine
was
probably
the
only
one
of
the
party
who
did
not
understand
him
.
Shortly
after
breakfast
Henry
left
them
for
Woodston
,
where
business
required
and
would
keep
him
two
or
three
days
.
They
all
attended
in
the
hall
to
see
him
mount
his
horse
,
and
immediately
on
re
-
entering
the
breakfast
-
room
,
Catherine
walked
to
a
window
in
the
hope
of
catching
another
glimpse
of
his
figure
.
“
This
is
a
somewhat
heavy
call
upon
your
brother
’
s
fortitude
,
”
observed
the
general
to
Eleanor
.
“
Woodston
will
make
but
a
sombre
appearance
today
.
”
“
Is
it
a
pretty
place
?
”
asked
Catherine
.
“
What
say
you
,
Eleanor
?
Speak
your
opinion
,
for
ladies
can
best
tell
the
taste
of
ladies
in
regard
to
places
as
well
as
men
.
I
think
it
would
be
acknowledged
by
the
most
impartial
eye
to
have
many
recommendations
.
The
house
stands
among
fine
meadows
facing
the
south
-
east
,
with
an
excellent
kitchen
-
garden
in
the
same
aspect
;
the
walls
surrounding
which
I
built
and
stocked
myself
about
ten
years
ago
,
for
the
benefit
of
my
son
.
It
is
a
family
living
,
Miss
Morland
;
and
the
property
in
the
place
being
chiefly
my
own
,
you
may
believe
I
take
care
that
it
shall
not
be
a
bad
one
.
Did
Henry
’
s
income
depend
solely
on
this
living
,
he
would
not
be
ill
-
provided
for
.
Perhaps
it
may
seem
odd
,
that
with
only
two
younger
children
,
I
should
think
any
profession
necessary
for
him
;
and
certainly
there
are
moments
when
we
could
all
wish
him
disengaged
from
every
tie
of
business
.
But
though
I
may
not
exactly
make
converts
of
you
young
ladies
,
I
am
sure
your
father
,
Miss
Morland
,
would
agree
with
me
in
thinking
it
expedient
to
give
every
young
man
some
employment
.
The
money
is
nothing
,
it
is
not
an
object
,
but
employment
is
the
thing
.
Even
Frederick
,
my
eldest
son
,
you
see
,
who
will
perhaps
inherit
as
considerable
a
landed
property
as
any
private
man
in
the
county
,
has
his
profession
.
”
The
imposing
effect
of
this
last
argument
was
equal
to
his
wishes
.
The
silence
of
the
lady
proved
it
to
be
unanswerable
.
Something
had
been
said
the
evening
before
of
her
being
shown
over
the
house
,
and
he
now
offered
himself
as
her
conductor
;
and
though
Catherine
had
hoped
to
explore
it
accompanied
only
by
his
daughter
,
it
was
a
proposal
of
too
much
happiness
in
itself
,
under
any
circumstances
,
not
to
be
gladly
accepted
;
for
she
had
been
already
eighteen
hours
in
the
abbey
,
and
had
seen
only
a
few
of
its
rooms
.
The
netting
-
box
,
just
leisurely
drawn
forth
,
was
closed
with
joyful
haste
,
and
she
was
ready
to
attend
him
in
a
moment
.
“
And
when
they
had
gone
over
the
house
,
he
promised
himself
moreover
the
pleasure
of
accompanying
her
into
the
shrubberies
and
garden
.
”
She
curtsied
her
acquiescence
.
“
But
perhaps
it
might
be
more
agreeable
to
her
to
make
those
her
first
object
.
The
weather
was
at
present
favourable
,
and
at
this
time
of
year
the
uncertainty
was
very
great
of
its
continuing
so
.
Which
would
she
prefer
?
He
was
equally
at
her
service
.
Which
did
his
daughter
think
would
most
accord
with
her
fair
friend
’
s
wishes
?
But
he
thought
he
could
discern
.
Yes
,
he
certainly
read
in
Miss
Morland
’
s
eyes
a
judicious
desire
of
making
use
of
the
present
smiling
weather
.
But
when
did
she
judge
amiss
?
The
abbey
would
be
always
safe
and
dry
.
He
yielded
implicitly
,
and
would
fetch
his
hat
and
attend
them
in
a
moment
.
”
He
left
the
room
,
and
Catherine
,
with
a
disappointed
,
anxious
face
,
began
to
speak
of
her
unwillingness
that
he
should
be
taking
them
out
of
doors
against
his
own
inclination
,
under
a
mistaken
idea
of
pleasing
her
;
but
she
was
stopped
by
Miss
Tilney
’
s
saying
,
with
a
little
confusion
,
“
I
believe
it
will
be
wisest
to
take
the
morning
while
it
is
so
fine
;
and
do
not
be
uneasy
on
my
father
’
s
account
;
he
always
walks
out
at
this
time
of
day
.
”
Catherine
did
not
exactly
know
how
this
was
to
be
understood
.
Why
was
Miss
Tilney
embarrassed
?
Could
there
be
any
unwillingness
on
the
general
’
s
side
to
show
her
over
the
abbey
?
The
proposal
was
his
own
.
And
was
not
it
odd
that
he
should
always
take
his
walk
so
early
?
Neither
her
father
nor
Mr
.
Allen
did
so
.
It
was
certainly
very
provoking
.
She
was
all
impatience
to
see
the
house
,
and
had
scarcely
any
curiosity
about
the
grounds
.
If
Henry
had
been
with
them
indeed
!
But
now
she
should
not
know
what
was
picturesque
when
she
saw
it
.
Such
were
her
thoughts
,
but
she
kept
them
to
herself
,
and
put
on
her
bonnet
in
patient
discontent
.
