Poor Catherine!
I've throughly enjoyed reading a chapter a day with group. I am going to finish reading today so I can post Discussion Questions tomorrow. Will continue to share daily quotes the rest of the month.

This chapter always makes me angry. General putting Catherine out of the house. Sending her home with any escort. Single women didn't travel without at least man servant. Plus Catherine is young, she's never been anywhere. Thankfully Elinor thinks to ask if Catherine has money for the trip.

I adore this Reddit user who respects the game so much that they actually have contempt for Isabella, who in their mind should go even harder as a self-serving, social climbing, manipulative grifter. Losing your safety fiancé before securing the rich guy who will actually help you achieve status and wealth? Amateur hour! Anyway, Isabella writes a last-ditch "save me!" letter to Cath who is not buying it one bit and ghosts her former friend. Brava!
I made this and forgot to post. 😆 Yesterday visited Henry's house.

No meme because #TomKitten joined in today to inspect the reading and gave a look which exactly sums up my feelings about the General. The man himself arranges a trip to Woodston to show it off for Catherine but is so domineering that she has no idea what to say, lest she risk his wrath. He also puts down the village, the landscape, and the house itself at every turn and she can't politely contradict him, so really, General, just stfu please. 🙄
Henry is a total mensch about the whole "Catherine suspected his father of murder thing", which is to say he never brings it up, ever, and is also extra kind to her. This guy rules, I swear. Which is something that could never be said about Isabella, who we learn has gone full-out dirtbag and heartlessly dumped James for...Fred Tilney! Its all kinds of awkward and Catherine can't believe Isabella's behavior, but Eleanor and Henry help her process.
Eleanor tries to take Catherine into Mrs. Tilney's rooms, but of course the General interrupts. Later Cath boldly heads off alone to explore Mrs. T's bedchamber and then...Henry catches her in the act! He's astonished and she's ashamed and he launches into his whole, "We live in a CIVILIZED country!" spiel which never fails to make me laugh. I rather enjoyed Sarah Emsley's breakdown referenced above; link in the comments.
Henry Tilney knows what Isabella is about.
