Ch. 31/31

I LOVE JANE AUSTEN SM.

QOTD: “I leave it to be settled by whomsoever it may concern, whether the tendency of this work be altogether to recommend parental tyranny, or reward filial disobedience.”

Ch. 30/31

I LOVE HENRY.

QOTD: "He felt himself bound as much in honour as in affection to Miss Morland, and believing that heart to be his own which he had been directed to gain, no unworthy retraction of a tacit consent, no reversing decree of unjustifiable anger, could shake his fidelity, or influence the resolutions it prompted."

Ch. 28/31

FUCK you, General Tilney.

QOTD: "His departure gave Catherine the first experimental conviction that a loss may be sometimes a gain."

Ch. 27/31

Let’s go Catherine!!!

QOTD: “As it happens, there is no great harm done, because I do not think Isabella has any heart to lose.”

Ch. 26/31

QOTD: “So gratifying had been the tenor of his conduct throughout the whole visit, so well assured was her mind on the subject of his expectations, that, could she have felt equally confident of the wishes of his son, Catherine would have quitted Woodston with little anxiety as to the How or the When she might return to it.”

Ch. 25/31

QOTD: “You feel, as you always do, what is most to the credit of human nature. - Such feelings ought to be investigated, that they may know themselves.”

Ch. 24/31

QOTD: “Promised so faithfully! - A faithful promise. - That puzzles me. - I have heard of a faithful performance. But a faithful promise - the fidelity of promising!”

Ch. 23/31

Catherine…

QOTD: “Catherine sometimes started at the boldness of her own surmises, and sometimes hoped or feared that she had gone too far; but they were supported by such appearances as made their dismissal impossible.”

Ch. 22/31

QOTD: “You have gained a new source of enjoyment, and it is well to have as many holds upon happiness as possible.”

Ch. 21/31

QOTD: “Catherine trembled at the emphasis with which he spoke, and sat pale and breathless, in a most humble mood, concerned for his children, and detesting old chests.”
