It's been an absolute joy to reread Northanger Abbey. I love Chapter a Day Readalongs because you savour a story. I always discover something new. Answers in comments.

"Some explanation on his father‘s account he had to give; but his first purpose was to explain himself, and before they reached Mr. Allen‘s grounds he had done it so well, that Catherine did not think it could ever be repeated too often" Henry Tilney‼️?

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.

“If I understand you rightly, you had formed a surmise of such horror as I have hardly words to——Dear Miss Morland, consider the dreadful nature of the suspicions you have entertained." - Henry Tilney
We all know where Catherine got her ideas from. I glad Henry called her out for skulking but I also find the "Remember that we are English," part hilarious.

"The kitchen-garden was to be next admired, and he led the way to it across a small portion of the park."
I love this chapter not for the plot but for the garden tour!
My Kitchen Garden is looking quite lovely. ???

2️⃣ My love of Henry Tilney is well documented.

5️⃣ Technically I should have made this a curricle. Take the ride, get carriage sick and throw up on Dude Bro Thorpe. Perhaps this will end his affections.
6️⃣ Snooping! Henry will forgive me. 👇

8️⃣ I'll be having a nice pleasant tea at Woodston with Eleanor, Catherine, and Henry. We will talk books. I'll try not to sigh every time Henry speaks. 👇

Dude Bro John Thorpe
The Fool - James Moreland
And General Stinky - Tilney
Can you just imagine 20 years on, Catherine getting a silly idea, and Henry saying ‘Remember that time you thought my father murdered my mother? 😆
