Ch.8
Catherine sits abandoned by Isabella and her brother waiting for John Thorpe to come claim his dance (which he is far less eager to do now that the opportunity is present) when she sees Mr. Tilney with his sister (whom she does NOT mistake for his wife).
Despite this, she cannot dance with him as stupid John Thorpe keeps getting in the way and Isabella is too distracted making sure she is the center of attention to commiserate.
