Ready for my 4th reading of this book
The opening sentence:
“No one who had ever seen Catherine Morland in her infancy, would have supposed her born to be an heroine.”
And later in the chapter:
“But from fifteen to seventeen she was in training for a heroine; she read all such works as heroines must read to supply their memories with those quotations which are so serviceable and so soothing in the vicissitudes of their eventful lives.”
AnneCecilie So we‘re all heroines? And to finish the chapter of: “and probably aware that if adventures will not befal a young lady in her own village, she must seek them abroad” #PemeberLittens #JaneAustenThenAndNow @Crinoline_Laphroaig 3w
