Northanger Abbey And Angels And Dragons - Plot & Excerpts
Sunday only now remains to be described, to close the week. The Clifton scheme had been deferred, not relinquished, and that afternoon, it was brought forward again. Isabella’s iceberg heart was obviously set on going, and James, entirely besotted with the beauteous harpy, was anxious to please her. It was agreed that on the following morning they were to set off very early, in order to be at home in good time. The affair thus determined, and Thorpe’s fiery approbation secured, Catherine only remained to be apprised of it. She had left them for a few minutes to speak to Miss Tilney. In that interval the dastardly plan was completed, and as soon as she returned, her agreement was demanded. But instead of gay[19] acquiescence Catherine looked grave, was very sorry, but could not go. She had a firm engagement with Miss Tilney to take their proposed walk tomorrow—it was quite determined, and she would not, upon any account, retract. “Well done, Catherine!” cried angels in both of her ears.
