When
the
general
had
satisfied
his
own
curiosity
,
in
a
close
examination
of
every
well
-
known
ornament
,
they
proceeded
into
the
library
,
an
apartment
,
in
its
way
,
of
equal
magnificence
,
exhibiting
a
collection
of
books
,
on
which
an
humble
man
might
have
looked
with
pride
.
Catherine
heard
,
admired
,
and
wondered
with
more
genuine
feeling
than
before
—
gathered
all
that
she
could
from
this
storehouse
of
knowledge
,
by
running
over
the
titles
of
half
a
shelf
,
and
was
ready
to
proceed
.
But
suites
of
apartments
did
not
spring
up
with
her
wishes
.
Large
as
was
the
building
,
she
had
already
visited
the
greatest
part
;
though
,
on
being
told
that
,
with
the
addition
of
the
kitchen
,
the
six
or
seven
rooms
she
had
now
seen
surrounded
three
sides
of
the
court
,
she
could
scarcely
believe
it
,
or
overcome
the
suspicion
of
there
being
many
chambers
secreted
.
It
was
some
relief
,
however
,
that
they
were
to
return
to
the
rooms
in
common
use
,
by
passing
through
a
few
of
less
importance
,
looking
into
the
court
,
which
,
with
occasional
passages
,
not
wholly
unintricate
,
connected
the
different
sides
;
and
she
was
further
soothed
in
her
progress
by
being
told
that
she
was
treading
what
had
once
been
a
cloister
,
having
traces
of
cells
pointed
out
,
and
observing
several
doors
that
were
neither
opened
nor
explained
to
her
—
by
finding
herself
successively
in
a
billiard
-
room
,
and
in
the
general
’
s
private
apartment
,
without
comprehending
their
connection
,
or
being
able
to
turn
aright
when
she
left
them
;
and
lastly
,
by
passing
through
a
dark
little
room
,
owning
Henry
’
s
authority
,
and
strewed
with
his
litter
of
books
,
guns
,
and
greatcoats
.
From
the
dining
-
room
,
of
which
,
though
already
seen
,
and
always
to
be
seen
at
five
o
’
clock
,
the
general
could
not
forgo
the
pleasure
of
pacing
out
the
length
,
for
the
more
certain
information
of
Miss
Morland
,
as
to
what
she
neither
doubted
nor
cared
for
,
they
proceeded
by
quick
communication
to
the
kitchen
—
the
ancient
kitchen
of
the
convent
,
rich
in
the
massy
walls
and
smoke
of
former
days
,
and
in
the
stoves
and
hot
closets
of
the
present
.
The
general
’
s
improving
hand
had
not
loitered
here
:
every
modern
invention
to
facilitate
the
labour
of
the
cooks
had
been
adopted
within
this
,
their
spacious
theatre
;
and
,
when
the
genius
of
others
had
failed
,
his
own
had
often
produced
the
perfection
wanted
.
His
endowments
of
this
spot
alone
might
at
any
time
have
placed
him
high
among
the
benefactors
of
the
convent
.
With
the
walls
of
the
kitchen
ended
all
the
antiquity
of
the
abbey
;
the
fourth
side
of
the
quadrangle
having
,
on
account
of
its
decaying
state
,
been
removed
by
the
general
’
s
father
,
and
the
present
erected
in
its
place
.
All
that
was
venerable
ceased
here
.
The
new
building
was
not
only
new
,
but
declared
itself
to
be
so
;
intended
only
for
offices
,
and
enclosed
behind
by
stable
-
yards
,
no
uniformity
of
architecture
had
been
thought
necessary
.
Catherine
could
have
raved
at
the
hand
which
had
swept
away
what
must
have
been
beyond
the
value
of
all
the
rest
,
for
the
purposes
of
mere
domestic
economy
;
and
would
willingly
have
been
spared
the
mortification
of
a
walk
through
scenes
so
fallen
,
had
the
general
allowed
it
;
but
if
he
had
a
vanity
,
it
was
in
the
arrangement
of
his
offices
;
and
as
he
was
convinced
that
,
to
a
mind
like
Miss
Morland
’
s
,
a
view
of
the
accommodations
and
comforts
,
by
which
the
labours
of
her
inferiors
were
softened
,
must
always
be
gratifying
,
he
should
make
no
apology
for
leading
her
on
.
They
took
a
slight
survey
of
all
;
and
Catherine
was
impressed
,
beyond
her
expectation
,
by
their
multiplicity
and
their
convenience
.
The
purposes
for
which
a
few
shapeless
pantries
and
a
comfortless
scullery
were
deemed
sufficient
at
Fullerton
,
were
here
carried
on
in
appropriate
divisions
,
commodious
and
roomy
.
The
number
of
servants
continually
appearing
did
not
strike
her
less
than
the
number
of
their
offices
.
Wherever
they
went
,
some
pattened
girl
stopped
to
curtsy
,
or
some
footman
in
dishabille
sneaked
off
.
Yet
this
was
an
abbey
!
How
inexpressibly
different
in
these
domestic
arrangements
from
such
as
she
had
read
about
—
from
abbeys
and
castles
,
in
which
,
though
certainly
larger
than
Northanger
,
all
the
dirty
work
of
the
house
was
to
be
done
by
two
pair
of
female
hands
at
the
utmost
.
How
they
could
get
through
it
all
had
often
amazed
Mrs
.
Allen
;
and
,
when
Catherine
saw
what
was
necessary
here
,
she
began
to
be
amazed
herself
.
They
returned
to
the
hall
,
that
the
chief
staircase
might
be
ascended
,
and
the
beauty
of
its
wood
,
and
ornaments
of
rich
carving
might
be
pointed
out
:
having
gained
the
top
,
they
turned
in
an
opposite
direction
from
the
gallery
in
which
her
room
lay
,
and
shortly
entered
one
on
the
same
plan
,
but
superior
in
length
and
breadth
.
She
was
here
shown
successively
into
three
large
bed
-
chambers
,
with
their
dressing
-
rooms
,
most
completely
and
handsomely
fitted
up
;
everything
that
money
and
taste
could
do
,
to
give
comfort
and
elegance
to
apartments
,
had
been
bestowed
on
these
;
and
,
being
furnished
within
the
last
five
years
,
they
were
perfect
in
all
that
would
be
generally
pleasing
,
and
wanting
in
all
that
could
give
pleasure
to
Catherine
.
As
they
were
surveying
the
last
,
the
general
,
after
slightly
naming
a
few
of
the
distinguished
characters
by
whom
they
had
at
times
been
honoured
,
turned
with
a
smiling
countenance
to
Catherine
,
and
ventured
to
hope
that
henceforward
some
of
their
earliest
tenants
might
be
“
our
friends
from
Fullerton
.
”
She
felt
the
unexpected
compliment
,
and
deeply
regretted
the
impossibility
of
thinking
well
of
a
man
so
kindly
disposed
towards
herself
,
and
so
full
of
civility
to
all
her
family
.
The
gallery
was
terminated
by
folding
doors
,
which
Miss
Tilney
,
advancing
,
had
thrown
open
,
and
passed
through
,
and
seemed
on
the
point
of
doing
the
same
by
the
first
door
to
the
left
,
in
another
long
reach
of
gallery
,
when
the
general
,
coming
forwards
,
called
her
hastily
,
and
,
as
Catherine
thought
,
rather
angrily
back
,
demanding
whether
she
were
going
?
—
And
what
was
there
more
to
be
seen
?
—
Had
not
Miss
Morland
already
seen
all
that
could
be
worth
her
notice
?
—
And
did
she
not
suppose
her
friend
might
be
glad
of
some
refreshment
after
so
much
exercise
?
Miss
Tilney
drew
back
directly
,
and
the
heavy
doors
were
closed
upon
the
mortified
Catherine
,
who
,
having
seen
,
in
a
momentary
glance
beyond
them
,
a
narrower
passage
,
more
numerous
openings
,
and
symptoms
of
a
winding
staircase
,
believed
herself
at
last
within
the
reach
of
something
worth
her
notice
;
and
felt
,
as
she
unwillingly
paced
back
the
gallery
,
that
she
would
rather
be
allowed
to
examine
that
end
of
the
house
than
see
all
the
finery
of
all
the
rest
.
The
general
’
s
evident
desire
of
preventing
such
an
examination
was
an
additional
stimulant
.
Something
was
certainly
to
be
concealed
;
her
fancy
,
though
it
had
trespassed
lately
once
or
twice
,
could
not
mislead
her
here
;
and
what
that
something
was
,
a
short
sentence
of
Miss
Tilney
’
s
,
as
they
followed
the
general
at
some
distance
downstairs
,
seemed
to
point
out
:
“
I
was
going
to
take
you
into
what
was
my
mother
’
s
room
—
the
room
in
which
she
died
—
”
were
all
her
words
;
but
few
as
they
were
,
they
conveyed
pages
of
intelligence
to
Catherine
.
It
was
no
wonder
that
the
general
should
shrink
from
the
sight
of
such
objects
as
that
room
must
contain
;
a
room
in
all
probability
never
entered
by
him
since
the
dreadful
scene
had
passed
,
which
released
his
suffering
wife
,
and
left
him
to
the
stings
of
conscience
.
She
ventured
,
when
next
alone
with
Eleanor
,
to
express
her
wish
of
being
permitted
to
see
it
,
as
well
as
all
the
rest
of
that
side
of
the
house
;
and
Eleanor
promised
to
attend
her
there
,
whenever
they
should
have
a
convenient
hour
.
Catherine
understood
her
:
the
general
must
be
watched
from
home
,
before
that
room
could
be
entered
.
“
It
remains
as
it
was
,
I
suppose
?
”
said
she
,
in
a
tone
of
feeling
.
“
Yes
,
entirely
.
”
“
And
how
long
ago
may
it
be
that
your
mother
died
?
”
