Northanger Abbey Page #5

And is your mother here with you

in Bath as well?.

Our mother is dead.

So this is your first time in Bath?.

Do you like it?.

Very much indeed.

There are some very pretty

walks round about.

Henry and I walk most mornings.

Should you care to join us one day?.

Yes.

More than anything in the world.

I love long walks.

Though I can't persuade

my friend to join me.

She thinks it a waste of time when there are

so many other things to do in town.

I can see that she might.

She says the most appalling things.

In that case, shall we say

tomorrow at 12, unless it rains?.

Yes.

Catherine. You simply must hear this.

Come, quickly!

Excuse me.

Of course.

Make haste, Miss Morland!Put on

your hat, there's no time to lose!

-We are going to Blaize Castle!

-Mr Thorpe!

-How do you do, Mrs Allen?.

My sweetest Catherine.

Isn't this delightful?.Blaize Castle,

nothing could be more romantic.

Yes, I'm sure, but I am very sorry,

I can't come with you.

I am expecting Miss Tilney and her brother

to call on me to take a country walk.

Not they! I saw them five minutes ago.Doesn't

he drive a phaeton with a pair of chestnuts?.

I don't know, indeed.

I saw him large as life, on the Lansdown Road,

with a smart-looking girl by his side.

But perhaps they mean to call later.

No, they don't.

I heard T:
ilney hallooing to a man

they were going as far as Wick Rocks.

I don't understand it at all.

Miss T:
ilney promised.

In this false world, people often make promises

they have little intention of keeping.

Remember, we are

your true friends.

- We keep our promises.

- Yes.

But what if they should

come after all?.

My dear scatter-brained sister, haven't you just

heard him say they're halfway to Wick Rocks?.

Then...

perhaps I should come with you.

Please, Miss Morland.

Goes very nice, doesn't she?.

Smooth as silk!

How do you do, sir?.

Scoundrel!

Pleasant old gentleman.

Mr Allen?. Yes, and so good natured.

- And rich as Croesus, or so I hear.

- I believe Mr Allen is very rich.

- And no children at all?.

- No, none.

-But you're quite a favourite, though, I gather?.

-Mr and Mrs Allen are very kind to me, yes.

- Ever since I was a baby.

- Excellent. Excellent!

Oh, Miss Tilney!

Stop! Stop now!

It's Miss Tilney and her brother!

-There'll be hell to pay if I tried to stop him now!

-Please stop, Mr Thorpe!

- I'll get down! I will!

- It's not possible!

Oh!

Whoa, there!

How could you deceive me so?.

Well, what if I did?. Where would you rather be?.

In a spanking gig driving to Blaize Castle

or trailing about in the dirt

with some canting prig of a parson?.

Mr T:
ilney is not a canting prig!

You have made it seem

as if I had broken my promise to them.
