Henry Tilney's Diary (9781101559024) (2011) - Plot & Excerpts
The house is large and airy with plenty of light: a gentleman’s residence with an imposing drive and entranceway. There is also a small room next to the drawing room where I can keep all my mess and clutter, and where I can have my dogs about me. I told him so this morning when I expressed my intention of moving into it next week. ‘That will never do,’ he said. ‘It is not yet fitted up. There is no furniture in the dining parlour and the drawing room has not even been decorated.’ ‘I am not thinking of entertaining just yet. The small room next to the dining parlour is fitted out and it is enough for my needs. I can eat there and sit there as well as anywhere else, at least until the rest of the house is ready for use.’ ‘You would do better to stay here until everything is done, it is far more comfortable and an easy journey.’ ‘I need to be in my own parish. When I am more established there it will be different, but for the moment I want to set my mark on the place,’ I said.
